The first person to be dealt with is Pei'er.

This spy beside her, the one she trusted until her death.

The "many things that have not been done" she mentioned were to serve as a thorn in the Chen family for Gu's father.

He tipped off the Gu family and framed the Chen family.

Pei'er was frightened by Gu Qing's gaze and hesitated, "Madam Third Young Master, did this servant say something wrong?"

"No, I just think Pei'er is getting prettier."

Looking away, Gu Qing changed the subject: "Where is the Third Young Master?"

Since she was reborn, then what happened between them last night was also real.

Thinking of the embarrassing scenes, her face turned hot.

Chen Zhizhou is a well-known playboy in the capital, with a very bad reputation and is regarded as scum by everyone.

In her previous life, she looked down on him and never allowed him to touch her.

At the beginning, Chen Zhizhou would ask for sex, but she always treated him with disgust and resistance. Later, he simply stopped entering her yard.

Husband and wife usually don't even talk to each other unless there is something important.

Unexpectedly, by some strange coincidence, she took the initiative to consummate the marriage with him in this life.

Pei'er's disdainful voice sounded from the side.

"I don't know. He went out early in the morning, and I was too lazy to keep an eye on him for the Third Young Master's wife."

Gu Qing glanced at her and said, "Pei'er, he is your uncle after all. Don't use that tone again. If people hear it, they will just say that the Gu family has no rules."

Pei'er was stunned after being scolded.

Miss, have you always looked down upon that scumbag Chen Zhizhou? Why are you still speaking for him?

Gu Qing ignored her and went to the upper room to pay his respects to Madam Chen after washing up.

In order to deal with Pei'er without alerting the enemy, she would have to rely on Madam Chen's help.

Mrs. Chen was surprised to see Gu Qing coming.

"When the third brother left, he apologized for you, saying that you might not be able to get up today. Why are you here now? Have you eaten yet?"

Gu Qing blushed and gritted her teeth secretly.

Chen Zhizhou is indeed a rough and rude man. How can she face her mother-in-law when he says such words?

"I haven't eaten yet. I thought I'd come over and eat with my mother."

Now Mrs. Chen was even more surprised.

She had met Gu Qing several times before getting married, but every time she had a stern face and was cold and indifferent to her, her future mother-in-law, and was unwilling to get close to her.

Is the sun rising from the west today?

Ignoring Mrs. Chen's inquiring gaze, Gu Qing sat down on his own.

Mrs. Chen is not Chen Zhizhou's biological mother.

His biological mother died during childbirth, and he was raised by Madam Chen single-handedly, with a relationship as close as that between her and her biological mother.

In her previous life, she looked down upon all members of the Chen family, including her mother-in-law who came from an ordinary background. She was cold and distant to everyone and had never integrated into the Chen family.

"Go serve the food quickly, and tell the kitchen to add another nourishing soup for your Third Young Madam."

Gu Qing's face flushed and he cursed Chen Zhizhou again in his heart.

She coughed twice and said, "By the way, mother, I have something to ask of you."

Mrs. Chen said seriously: "You say."

Gu Qing: "I want to borrow a maid from you. My maid is young and naive. I spoiled her when she was at home. Now she is suddenly in charge of the yard and is in a mess. Can you lend me a capable maid to teach her?"

"Alright, then let's ask Madam Li to go over. She's been with me all my life and is very good at managing affairs."

Mrs. Chen not only didn't mind, she was actually quite happy about it.

This was a sign of her daughter-in-law's trust in her, so she naturally wouldn't refuse.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a pleasant lunch together. Gu Qing chatted with her mother-in-law for a while before leaving.

After leaving the yard, Gu Qing gathered the hair around his ears.

"Pei'er, Nanny Li is an old friend of Grandma's. She must know a lot. You know what to do, right?"

Pei'er nodded vigorously: "I understand."

She will definitely dig out all the spicy flavors of the Chen family, and even if she can't dig them out, she will make some fake ones!

She looks so confident.

Gu Qing raised her red lips.

She could deal with Pei'er privately, but that would only alert the enemy, and the Gu family and the third prince would still send someone to monitor her.

The mother who is still at Gu's house will also be in danger.

What she had to do now was to make Pei'er shut up.

That night.

Gu Qing was pushed awake when he was half asleep.

She was confused for a moment before opening her eyes.

Chen Zhizhou's handsome face was filled with dissatisfaction: "Why did you go to bed so early? Why didn't you say you would wait for me to come back?"

Gu Qing turned over and faced the wall and muttered, "Who wants to wait for you?"

"I don't have to sleep on the floor tonight?"

Seeing that there was no bedding on the ground, Chen Zhizhou raised his eyebrows.

Gu Qing ignored him.

Chen Zhizhou never cared about other people's feelings. After lying down, he reached out to grab Gu Qing, but she slapped his hand away.

"I'm tired, let's rest early."

The hot breath instantly pressed against him, and Chen Zhizhou's deep voice rang in his ear: "Why, you threw yourself into my arms last night, but now you're turning your back on me?"

Gu Qing felt hot all over and pushed him with gritted teeth.

"Tomorrow is the day I return home. Stop making trouble and get some rest quickly, or you can go back to sleep!"

There is a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so she needs to get enough energy.

Chen Zhizhou curled his lips, turned over and lay flat on the bed without saying a word. Soon, he began to breathe evenly.

Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and closed his eyes to the sound of Chen Zhizhou's breathing, recalling what happened on the day he returned home in his previous life.

She forgot all the little things, but there was one big thing she would never forget until her death.

When she was returning to Chen's house from Gu's house, a woman stopped her carriage and begged her to let her child recognize his ancestral home, saying that the child was Chen Zhizhou's.

What's more, the woman's background was very shameful. She was actually a singer in a music hall.

This matter caused quite a big stir in the previous life, and Chen Zhizhou's position as commander was even stripped away by the emperor.

Because compared to the child's age, Chen Zhizhou was conceived during the period of mourning for his grandfather.

It was against the law for an official to visit a prostitute, not to mention that he did it during the mourning period for his grandfather, which was a serious crime of filial piety.

Chen Zhizhou initially denied that the child was his, but later he fell silent for some reason and became depressed, and his reputation became even worse.

Is that child really Chen Zhizhou's?

Gu Qing thought about this and fell asleep in a daze.

She slept very soundly. When she opened her eyes again, Chen Zhizhou had already gotten up, and the maids were busy helping him wash up.

After washing up and having breakfast, the two of them went to the upper room to bid farewell to Madam Chen, and then got on the carriage and went all the way to Gu's house.

After getting off the horse, Gu Qing looked up at the plaque of the Gu Mansion.

She clenched her fingers little by little.

Everyone in the Gu family, except her mother, is her enemy.

"Big sister, you're finally back. We've been waiting anxiously!"

Following the familiar sweet female voice, Gu Miao's slender figure came into view. She fluttered over like a little butterfly and affectionately held Gu Qing's arm.
