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

Shen Yuyan obviously didn't expect this. She looked at Pei Jiuniang from afar, seeming a little bit unbelieving. She took a few quick steps and almost fell in the mud. The little girl was so scared that she hurried to help her.

Some things about Shen Yuyan emerged in Pei Jiuniang's mind.

Although she had lived two lives and hadn't seen Shen Yuyan for more than ten years in total, she still had a deep impression of her.

Shen Yuyan is the daughter of her mother Shen's brother from her natal family. She is considered a legitimate daughter. The reason why she is considered a legitimate daughter is that Shen's uncle has one wife, three concubines and countless mistresses. Despite Shen's day and night efforts, Shen's belly has never become swollen. At that time, there were rumors that Shen's uncle could not give birth.

When the rumors were at their most rampant, Shen Yuyan's mother, Yao, came to visit, bulging with belly, and said she was pregnant with Uncle Shen's child.

Although Shen Yuyan's mother was a widow, the Shen family still welcomed Shen Yuyan's mother in after confirming with Uncle Shen.

Six months later, Shen Yuyan was born. Although she was a girl, she was the only child in the Shen family.

Later, Shen Yuyan was registered under the name of Uncle Shen's main wife, and became the legitimate daughter and the only daughter of the entire Shen family. She was raised with great pampering since childhood.

Although the Shen family was almost squandered by Uncle Shen, her mother Shen and several aunts all loved Shen Yuyan very much. If the Shen family didn't have anything, Uncle Shen would ask her sisters for it. Shen Yuyan was raised to be arrogant and domineering.

Pei Jiuniang and Shen Yuyan had never gotten along since childhood. It was because Shen Yuyan would do whatever it took to get her hands on anything that belonged to her.

From small things like clothes, shoes, and hairpins to big things like maids and later the shop, Shen loved her uncle the most. If she didn't obey, her uncle would bring up his old mother and cry, make a fuss, and even hang himself.

Pei Jiuniang sympathized with her mother, Shen, and was tolerant on many occasions.

About six years ago, Shen Yuyan, who had been inconspicuous since childhood, somehow caught the eye of Princess Changning of Prince Ning's Mansion and was chosen to be her study partner.

After that, Shen Yuyan became almost arrogant, as if she had entered the top circle of Kyoto, and did not take her former poor relatives seriously.

But Pei Jiuniang was happy to have some peace and quiet.

But she remembered that Princess Changning had been chosen to marry, and all the companions were sent back to their respective homes. However, because they had been with Princess Changning, the others became popular candidates for marriage in Kyoto. Only Shen Yuyan was not good-looking and had rude behavior, so no one liked her.

In her previous life, she remembered that it was probably in the past one or two years that Uncle Shen asked Shen to take Shen Yuyan to the Marquis' Mansion, saying that he wanted to strengthen the relationship and asked her to be a matchmaker and marry her to Gu Yanzhi. After Pei Jiuniang refused, Uncle Shen and Shen Yuyan spread gossip everywhere that she was unfilial, disrespectful to her elders, and looked down on her poor relatives.

Thinking of all the above, Pei Jiuniang didn't have the slightest good face towards Shen Yuyan.

After Shen Yuyan confirmed that it was Pei Jiuniang, she was a little surprised. She looked Pei Jiuniang up and down, left and right, and saw that Pei Jiuniang was even more conspicuous than before. She felt a little dissatisfied, but she quickly remembered some things about Pei Jiuniang, and she became happy again, even a little gloating.

"So it's my cousin. I didn't expect to meet you here. By the way, I heard that you and your cousin's husband have been married for five years, but he didn't want to come back. Also, I heard not long ago that he came back, but he brought a pair of children born to a concubine. I heard that they are twins, a boy and a girl. They are smart and well-behaved, much better than the fool you gave birth to..."

Shen Yuyan covered her mouth suddenly when she got to this point, as if she was a little embarrassed for letting the cat out of the bag, but she didn't shut herself up, and continued, "Cousin, you said that your life is really bad, but it doesn't matter, even if my brother is kicked out of the house one day, my uncle and aunt will definitely not ignore you, but in my opinion, you'd better know better and ask to leave the house, so that you can still keep your dignity..."

Shen Yuyan became happier and happier as she spoke, not forgetting to admire Pei Jiuniang's expression. She was a little surprised to see that she remained the same as always, but she thought she must be pretending.

After all, it's spread everywhere.

It was also said that the old lady in the Marquis's Mansion loved her two children from her concubine's house very much and wanted to make them her legitimate sons and daughters.

It is said that Pei Jiuniang had a falling out with the Marquis's Mansion and lost her power as the head of the household.

There is no guarantee that she is not going back to her mother's house to ask for help this time.

The people around were also surprised to hear Shen Yuyan's words, but they just listened quietly and didn't say anything.

Some people felt that Pei Jiuniang was very pitiful.

Some people also think that Shen Yuyan is a girl but her words are really sarcastic, even though she is a cousin of the girl, but every word she says hits people's heart.

Pei Jiuniang listened quietly to Shen Yuyan's words. When she finished speaking, she smiled faintly and asked, "Cousin, you still have the leisure to care about my affairs. But cousin, you have been a virgin for five or six years. Have you found a good family? But cousin is the princess's companion, I think the princess and the princess will definitely make plans for cousin. I wonder which family the young man is from? Maybe I know him?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuyan, who had been smiling, suddenly turned pale.

A pair of eyes were fixed on Pei Jiuniang, and he wanted to tickle her.

Which pot does not open which pot.

She came back this time just because of this matter.

She claimed that she came from an official family, but in fact, there was not even a decent scholar in her Shen family.

Only thanks to the Pei family can we be barely considered a family of scholars.

She was determined to marry someone better than Pei Jiuniang, so she racked her brains to become the princess's tutor. This was because she heard that the princess liked to act as a matchmaker and that several princesses' tutors in the past had married well.

In the past few years, she had asked herself whether she had been careful to please the princess and the princess, but somehow, she always felt that they were indifferent to her.

A few days ago, the imperial edict came down, and the princess was chosen to marry. The princess was compassionate and did not let them follow. She also arranged a banquet for them. She put a lot of effort into it, hoping to make a splash at the banquet and win over a few sons of officials, but she didn't expect that no one would propose to her. She saw that the others all fell in love with each other, but she was the only one who was given 500 taels by the princess and the princess and asked to go home.

Too bully.

wrong.

How did Pei Jiuniang know?

Shen Yuyan was quite clever. She figured it out quickly and pointed at Pei Jiuniang with a red face. "You are so mean, Pei Jiuniang. It's you, right? You are about to be divorced, so you can't stand me doing well. Are you making up something about me out there?"

Seeing Shen Yuyan pointing her finger at her, Pei Jiuniang felt extremely helpless.

Not too lazy to explain.

But Shen Yuyan was too aggressive.

Even become relentless.

Pei Jiuniang was also a little angry, but before she could open her mouth, she heard Gu Tingzhi, who had been silent, stand up with a grim face.

"Miss Shen, what are you going to do to my wife? And where did you hear those slanderous words? Did you see it with your own eyes? You keep calling my wife cousin, but what are you talking about?! Although your Shen family is not even a family of scholars, at least you were raised by the Pei family for a few years. You may not be grateful, but your words are too harsh, aren't they?"

Hearing this, Shen Yuyan was stunned, and then her face turned red.

At first, I was angry because I was ridiculed in public, but soon, it seemed that it was not just...

She recognized Gu Tingzhi. He was the man who came to marry Pei Jiuniang. He was Marquis Gu. Six years ago, when she first saw him, she could never forget him. He was so tall, handsome, and riding on a tall horse. She was stunned at the time.

She had never seen anyone more handsome than him, so how could she, Pei Jiuniang, deserve such honor?

She would dream about him many nights afterwards.

She was really jealous and crazy during that time.

I even thought about asking my father to find my aunt to be his concubine, no, to be his co-wife, and wait until she gave birth to a child, then he would divorce Pei Jiuniang.

But later she heard that he had not returned from the war, and she felt that was not good either. Military generals were bound to die in battle, and Pei Jiuniang might become a widow one day.

Later, she became the princess's companion and met many people. Although none of them was as good as Gu Tingzhi, they were of all kinds, some with prominent family backgrounds, some with outstanding literary talent, and some with a good sense of humor. So she gradually forgot about him and focused on finding the best one.

But unexpectedly, she never met him.

And he looked more handsome than ever.
