The mistress of the Hou family worked herself to death, and she did not serve after her rebirth

Because of the delay last time, I went to see Imperial Physician He and chose a new day.

On the day when Imperial Physician He was taking a rest,

The imperial doctors in the palace take one day off every nine days, which is a ten-day holiday.

Gu Tingzhi specially adjusted his day off and waited outside the mansion.

Because he broke the appointment last time, Chief Doctor He was already unhappy, so this time he moved the departure time forward by half an hour.

As if he was afraid that Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge would slack off, he sent people to urge them several times.

Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge rode in a carriage, while Gu Tingzhi and the guards rode on horses.

Brother Yu sat in the carriage, and from time to time he lifted the curtain to look outside. When Pei Jiuniang looked over, he hurriedly lowered the curtain and pretended that he had done nothing.

No one knows a son better than his mother. Pei Jiuniang knew that he envied riding a horse. Ever since Gu Tingzhi took him riding a horse once, Brother Yu fell in love with it.

But since then, their relationship with Gu Tingzhi has become a little strained, and Gu Tingzhi's promise to be Yu Ge's martial arts coach has become empty words.

She thought for a moment and said to Brother Yu, "If you want to ride a horse, Mother can ask someone to come to the mansion to teach you."

Brother Yu didn't say anything. Pei Jiuniang moved closer to him and was suddenly startled by the tears in his eyes.

As if afraid of being seen, he quickly turned around, wiped it off secretly, and then nodded at her as if nothing had happened.

But she couldn't tell what he was thinking.

After all, they are still children and always have longings for their parents.

She hated Gu Tingzhi for treating them and their son badly.

But in her previous life, she was blinded by a single leaf, so how much better had she done than him?

She can always start over and make amends.

How could she not give him a chance?

Thinking of this, she knocked on the car door and called Gu Tingzhi.

"Take Brother Yu on horseback riding. You were disrespectful last time, so you must not make any mistakes this time."

She made an excuse and handed Brother Yu over to him without caring whether he would understand or not.

Brother Yu hesitated. He looked at Pei Jiuniang, then at Gu Tingzhi who was riding on a tall horse, his young face full of confusion.

"Madam, you might as well come with us, otherwise, we will have to wait for you."

Gu Tingzhi took Brother Yu's hand, looked at her again, and suddenly spoke.

Pei Jiuniang paused and was about to refuse, but she heard Yu Ge's surprised cheer, "Can you ride with me, too?"

Looking at the light in Brother Yu's eyes, Pei Jiuniang was unable to say no.

She originally thought that with Yu Gege in between, she and Gu Tingzhi would not have physical contact and would be more comfortable, but she did not expect that Yu Ge would take the initiative to ask to be held by her. As a result, she could only cling tightly to Gu Tingzhi's arms to barely sit up.

"Madam, hold Brother Yu tight, I'll take care of everything."

As he spoke, he pulled the reins with one hand and raised the whip with the other. The horse neighed, raised its front hooves, and galloped out.

Although it was not a downtown area, there were still quite a few people on the street, and they couldn't help but be surprised and talk about it when they saw this scene.

Pei Jiuniang couldn't hear clearly but felt embarrassed, so she lowered her head and didn't dare to look.

Brother Yu was very excited. He was held in her arms, looking left and right. As the horse ran faster and faster, he couldn't help clapping his hands, "It's so fast, it seems to be flying."

It was rare for Pei Jiuniang to see Brother Yu so happy, so she carefully hugged Brother Yu and warned him, "Brother Yu, sit tight."

Brother Yu nodded happily, but afraid of falling off the horse, he clung to her arms tightly.

Being squeezed by Brother Yu like this, she only felt that she was closer to Gu Tingzhi. She could even feel his burning temperature and heavy breathing coming from her ears. Some of it seemed to sprinkle on her neck, making her very uncomfortable. She subconsciously raised her buttocks to move out, but was shaken by the horse and almost lost her hug to Brother Yu. She screamed in fright and hurriedly grabbed his arm.

She felt a little uncomfortable and tried to let go quickly, but he seemed to do it on purpose. Whenever she wanted to get away, the horse would shake extra hard.

After a while, she got angry and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, but she happened to see his gentle face and smug eyes.

He leaned down slightly, put his chin on her shoulder, and smiled softly into her ear, "Madam, there is still a long way to go, and it's not easy to walk. If you don't want to drag Brother Yu down with you, you'd better stay closer to me."

As he spoke, he took the initiative to hold the mother and son with the hand that was holding the reins.

Pei Jiuniang knew that he did it on purpose, and also knew that what he said was not completely unreasonable. She only regretted that she had let the child be controlled by him, so she had to sit still and endure it in extreme discomfort.

Fortunately, the journey was not as far as we had imagined, and we soon saw a villa at the foot of the mountain.

I heard that Imperial Physician He didn't like making noise, and the unique topography here was conducive to growing medicinal herbs, so even though it was far from the imperial city, he still came here to live every time he had a day off.

He also has a big house in Kyoto, but few people know that he doesn't go back often.

Therefore, those who seek medical treatment out of admiration usually run into a wall.

The reason why Gu Tingzhi's boss was able to hire Imperial Physician He was because he had once accidentally saved Imperial Physician He who was nearly kidnapped while off duty, and had built up some friendship with him.

The house is not big, with only two or three rooms suitable for living. However, there are many medicinal herbs planted in the yard. In addition, there is a medicine boy and a cook, who are said to be responsible for helping to take care of the villa.

After Gu Tingzhi got off the horse, he carefully carried Brother Yu down. Pei Jiuniang's legs were a little numb because she hadn't ridden a horse for a long time, but she was embarrassed to say it directly. In the end, Gu Tingzhi carried him down directly. After a while, she felt that her legs had regained consciousness, so she pushed Gu Tingzhi away and took Brother Yu's hand and walked in together.

The medicine boy briefly instructed Imperial Physician He on some rules for practicing medicine, then took them to a room, bowed and informed the people inside, and after getting permission, he let them go in on their own.

There was only a very simple furnishing, and an old man who was pounding medicine and looking drowsy. When he heard the footsteps stop, he seemed to suddenly wake up from a nap, raised his head and glanced, then pointed at three small bamboo stools not far away.

Pei Jiuniang carried Yu Ge to sit on one of the stools, and she sat on the other one. However, Gu Tingzhi was a little embarrassed. He was too tall, and such a short stool was obviously not suitable for him. In the end, he chose to continue standing.

Imperial Physician He glanced at him and seemed to realize it. He raised his eyebrows helplessly and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Marquis. I rarely have people coming here on weekdays, let alone someone as big as you."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Tingzhi smiled faintly, as if he didn't take it to heart.

Seeing that he did not blame her, Imperial Physician He's face became better. He looked at the woman and the child in front of him, and finally focused his eyes on the woman. His face froze, "Madam may not live long."
