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

At the same time, Pei Jiuniang and her party returned to the capital.

Gu Tingzhi had just sent the mother and son and Gu Xijue back when he received a letter from the Ministry of War. He left in a hurry, and before leaving, he asked the people around Pei Jiuniang to take good care of Pei Jiuniang and Yu Ge.

As for Gu Xijue, there was no mention at all.

Gu Xijue got off the carriage and returned to the yard by himself.

This time, he originally thought that he could take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Pei Jiuniang, but he didn't expect that the result would be the opposite of what he wanted.

Pei Jiuniang was exhausted both physically and mentally, and this visit home was seriously depleted in her vitality.

But the effect is significant.

She also completely cleared the obstacle of the Pei family for Brother Yu.

After settling Brother Yu down, she still went to visit Mrs. Liu. After all, she had not seen him for two days, so it was reasonable to inform him.

However, Liu was not in the mansion. I heard that she went to a farm in the suburbs.

It was said that someone in Zhuangzi was causing trouble and even killed someone, so Liu rushed over to deal with it.

The old nanny who stayed behind was also Liu's confidant. She was ordered to look after the house. When she saw Pei Jiuniang coming back, she burst into tears and her words showed how anxious the old lady had been in the past two days. She was finally waiting for the mistress in charge to come back, and she was waiting for Pei Jiuniang to speak, but Pei Jiuniang smiled faintly and did not speak. Finally, the old nanny's face fell instantly, and Pei Jiuniang left.

The thunder finally began to explode, and the Liu family’s good days were over.

It was always said that it was easy for her to be a housekeeper, but now it is her turn.

At the same time, Pei Jiuniang had the news of the assassination attempt on her mother's home spread again, to prevent anyone from accusing her of being unfilial by poisoning her own uncle, and also to stop Liu from thinking of making her the housekeeper.

Sure enough, as soon as the news spread, it caused an uproar.

Liu, who rushed back after hearing the news, was so angry that she scolded the Pei family.

Pei Jiuniang was concerned about Brother Yu and pretended not to hear.

A few days later, someone from the Imperial College came. It was the one who had been there before, and asked her what she thought.

Pei Jiuniang just remembered this matter.

In fact, going to the Imperial College to be a female teacher was what she originally wanted, but between going to the Imperial College and taking care of Brother Yu, she chose the latter.

If she was in good health, she would be able to take care of both, but now, she knows her own body well.

But she did think of someone.

Maybe that person is more suitable than her.

And she had a deal to make with that guy.

She told her thoughts to the teacher who came to deliver the message and asked her to go back and inform Cui Jijiu.

Although she hasn't been paying attention to what's happening outside recently, the rumors still reach her.

Although His Majesty has severely punished the Wang family and even taken away the power to preside over the Spring Examination, the Wang family is, after all, a century-old family with complicated connections. Now that the Wang family has repented and the court is in need of people, what His Majesty has to do now is to appease them.

I heard that this time the Imperial College will not only have a few more female teachers, but also many people from the Wang family will become teachers in the Imperial College.

She was specially allowed to enter the Imperial College as a female tutor, firstly for the sake of her late grandfather's face, and secondly to make peace between the Marquis' Mansion and the Wang Family.

But after the news of her assassination and poor health was released, no one would accuse her of disregarding the emperor's will. At the same time, the person she was going to recommend was also related to the Wang family by marriage.

The other party promised to go back and inform me when there was any news.

But I didn't expect that just one day later, he came to tell me that it was settled.

After receiving the accurate information, Pei Jiuniang immediately asked someone to prepare a sedan chair and headed straight to the Chu family.

Of course, I went to visit after I found out that Gu Lanzhi was not at home.

...

The old man of the Chu family has a son and a daughter. The son is Chu Huaian, who married Gu Lanzhi. Currently, he has only one son, Chu Xingzhou, and another daughter, Chu Mingyue.

She was originally married to a poor scholar, who was a student of Old Master Chu. However, a few years ago, this scholar fell into the water while drunk and died after failing the imperial examinations one after another. The scholar's mother was a mean person. She beat and scolded Chu Mingyue all day long and later became paralyzed. Chu Mingyue couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to return to the Chu family, but was driven back by the Chu family.

Chu Mingyue's life was unbearable. Later, she could no longer bear the beatings and scoldings from her mother-in-law and the indifference from her natal family, so she followed the poor scholar into the water, leaving behind a four-year-old daughter named Rulan, who was later taken in by the Chu family.

In fact, Pei Jiuniang knew all this from Brother Yu.

At that time, Rulan had been forced to become Chu Xingzhou's concubine. She was abused by Chu Xingzhou all day long, and Gu Lanzhi also tortured Rulan.

While taking care of her in the shabby room, Brother Yu secretly went to see Rulan. He bought some candies and cakes, gave one to her, and shyly said that he would give the other one to Rulan.

At that time, she didn't know who Rulan was. Later, when she died and followed Brother Yu, she found out that Rulan was Chu Xingzhou's concubine, Gu Lanzhi's daughter-in-law, and the daughter of Chu Mingyue, a very poor scholar.

Later, Rulan couldn't stand the torture any more and begged Brother Yu to take her away, but Brother Yu couldn't let her go. Later, Rulan was beaten to death by Chu Xingzhou and Gu Lanzhi. Brother Yu knew about it and rushed to kill Chu Xingzhou, but was severely beaten by Chu Xingzhou. He also told Brother Yu, "I didn't like that skinny girl, but you did. I insisted that my mother help me marry her. What can you do to me?"

That day, Brother Yu came back with injuries all over his body. While taking care of her, he cried like a baby. Even when he fell asleep, he kept murmuring "I'm sorry Rulan".

Later, Brother Yu managed to find Rulan's body. Only later did he know that Rulan was pregnant with Chu Xingzhou's child.

Brother Yu cried and said he wanted to kill Chu Xingzhou to avenge Rulan, but when he saw that she was sick and dying, he could only keep the hatred in his heart.

Thinking about the past life.

Pei Jiuniang still felt that she owed a lot.

She didn't know whether she could live to see Brother Yu get married and have children, but she would try her best to arrange it for Brother Yu.
