Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 106 Li Ling said that she would never be wronged

The sun is bright today and the wind is not so strong.

She was too tired from last night's work and had to get up early in the morning to rush on the road. Jingshu got on the carriage and lay down on the soft couch and fell asleep again.

This car was really comfortable, and I couldn't feel the slightest bump while driving. Jingshu slept soundly, and she didn't wake up until she heard Ziyun calling her from beside her.

“I was wondering why I had been sitting so still in the car all morning. It turned out that I had been sleeping the whole time.”

Only then did Jing Shu notice Li Ling standing under the car.

She sat up from the couch, rolled her eyes at Li Ling, rolled her hair, and said angrily: "Didn't you order me to be honest? How can I dare to disobey?"

"It's really rare that you are willing to learn well." After saying that, Li Ling stretched out his hand towards Jingshu: "Come down, it's a nice day, come down and take a walk."

Jingshu asked doubtfully: "What are you going to do? Are we not on our way?"

Ziyun on the side covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My lady, it's almost midnight now."

oops! She actually slept for most of the day.

 She was so tired not because of Li Ling's greed last night.

Jingshu couldn't help but glare at Li Ling, who was standing under the car half-smiling.

Ziyun served Jingshu and put on her cloak. Jingshu walked to the front of the carriage and helped Li Ling's hand to get out of the car. The sun was just right, and she suddenly came down, so shaken that she could only squint her eyes.

 Li Ling smoothly lifted up the hood of her cloak and covered her head firmly. The carriage stopped by the roadside, and the soldiers were placed far away from here for lunch break and meal.

Jingshu impatiently raised her hand and pulled off her hood, muttering: "There's no one here, I still want to bask in the sun."

Li Ling saw that there was no one around him, so he stopped insisting and just followed his wife's temper.

Ziyun took a thick mat and threw it on the smooth boulder by the roadside. She sat quietly in the sunshine and looked at the surrounding countryside.

The mountains and rivers are vast and the smoke is curling up, which makes people feel happy when they see it.

Li Ling sat next to her and said casually: "The capital is rich and the scenery is beautiful. We will leave the customs in two days. When we get out of the customs, this will not be the case."

Although the current Emperor Ming cannot be called a faint emperor, he is not a master who makes great efforts to govern. In the past two years, there have been strong enemies eyeing her from outside, and treacherous ministers trying to gain power inside. Empress Cao and Concubine Meng are fighting against each other in the harem, and the battle for the heir apparent between the crown prince and the king of Jin has intensified.

 Under such circumstances, how can the country be rich and the people be strong?

These matters are naturally not for a woman like Jing Shu to worry about. What she is thinking about at the moment is the situation at home.

Ever since she married into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, her grandmother has loved her, her eldest sister-in-law has been close to her, and her sister-in-law has protected her in every way. Nowadays, Jingshu regards the Zhenguo Palace as her real home and cares about the people in the mansion as her closest relatives.

“My sister-in-law and my eldest brother had such a quarrel when we came out. I wonder what’s going on now?”

Li Ling said calmly: "Since we have kicked out the restless palace concubine, it's time to stop."

 He sighed: "It's the same with eldest brother. He made such a fuss over a palace concubine. I really don't know what he thinks."

Jing Shu echoed: "Isn't that right? My sister-in-law has suffered so much because of this woman." After saying that, she looked at her husband aside and asked: "Will you always treat me like this? Will you? After we have passed the wedding ceremony, you will not care about your wife as much as your elder brother, and you will take in a concubine every now and then?"

Li Ling glanced at his wife: "I am different from my eldest brother."

As he spoke, he held his wife's hand: "I will never let you suffer that kind of injustice."

Inside Bi Tang, Xu Wanning, who was being cared about by Jing Shu, was also thinking about her.

　　 Xu Wanning has been in a very happy mood these past two days since the beautiful girl was kicked out. At this moment, she is humming a little tune and walking briskly back from Anxi Hall.

When Qiu saw her, she stepped forward and whispered back: "Just now, I heard from the boy in front of me that for the past two days, I have been going to Shui'er Hutong to see the beautiful girl. It seems that I went there again this morning."

 Xu Wanning leaned back on the imperial concubine's couch, casually straightening the red embroidered gold-threaded jacket on her new upper body, and glanced at Aunt Qiu: "He can go if he likes. Auntie always asks what is he doing?"

Mother Qiu served a cup of hot tea and said angrily to Xu Wanning: "Madam, even though that foxy girl has moved out, you still have to be on guard."

Xu Wanning opened the lid of the tea and took a few sips, and said disdainfully: "She was kicked out by her grandmother. I don't believe she is capable enough to come back." Aunt Qiu advised: "You don't need to do this. You are so worried, but since that vixen has been driven away, you have to find a way to win back my uncle's heart, and you can't let my uncle's heart be taken away by that vixen."

Xu Wanning said indifferently: "I don't care about it. As long as they don't disgust me in front of me, it will be fine. He can do whatever he likes outside. I have brothers and sisters, so I don't care what he does."

As she spoke, she took another sip of tea and praised: "This tea is good. Did my sister-in-law bring it to me years ago?"

Mother Qiu shook her head helplessly and replied: "It was sent here by the lady's order years ago."

Xu Wanning ordered: "You can mix it up later and come out. I will bring it to my grandmother to taste it in the evening, and I will give it to my two younger siblings as well."

“Oh, yes, the second younger brother and sister went out with the second younger brother. I forgot about this again.”

As he spoke, Xu Wanning sighed leisurely: "Once this sister-in-law leaves, I don't even have anyone to talk to, and I don't know when she will come back."

Mother Qiu couldn't help but persuade: "Madam, you and my uncle"

Before Mother Qiu could finish speaking, Xu Wanning interrupted impatiently: "Mommy, please don't mention him to me again. Since I'm married to him and have a child, no matter what I say, I won't be able to cause any trouble. If I can If I live a respectful and respectful life with him, I won't ask for anything else. He just asks me to submit to him and be nice, but I can't do it."

With that said, Xu Wanning put the lid on the tea with a click: "That pervert, he is not worthy of me treating him like that."

Just as he was talking, Li Xian came in from outside. Xu Wanning glanced at him and said, "I'm back early today."

 The expression is neither salty nor bland, and the tone is also yin and yang.

Mother Qiu shook her head and walked out.

With only the couple left in the room, Li Xian sighed, looked at Xu Wanning and said, "Meiniang has been kicked out by you, what else do you want?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "How can I do that? If I could have driven her away earlier, I would still be able to wait until today."

Li Xian gave Xu Wanning a white look and changed the topic to talk about business: "I just met your elder brother on the way back. Your little nephew is one month old the day after tomorrow, and he asked us to go over and have a drink."

He paused and then continued: "Just now my mother ordered someone to come and tell her that she has not been feeling well these days."

He glanced at Xu Wanning and said, "Let's go to the family temple to see her tomorrow."

Xu Wanning didn't even raise her eyelids, and said calmly: "Okay, I will accompany you to see your mother tomorrow, and you can follow me to celebrate the full moon of my nephew the day after."

No matter how much trouble the couple has in private, they still have to deal with it in public.

Li Xian responded calmly: "Okay."

After talking about business with his wife, he turned around and left the house, heading towards Aunt Cai's house across the courtyard.

Seeing Li Xian leave, Aunt Qiu came in. She couldn't help but complain: "Why didn't Madam keep my uncle for dinner and let him go to Aunt Cai's place?"

Xu Wanning said impatiently: "He can go wherever he likes. Fortunately, the two across the courtyard are also at peace, no matter what he does."

With that said, Xu Wanning just asked: "I asked you to spread the tea for grandma, have you come out?"

Mother Qiu said with a slumped face: "Not yet."

Xu Wanning replied: "Let's go now. After I have dinner, I will send it to my grandmother and leave another portion for my younger siblings to try when she comes back."

 Mentioning Jing Shu, Xu Wanning couldn't help but complain: "This younger sister and I have to follow my second brother, so now I don't even have anyone to talk to."

 “Hey! I don’t know when she will come back.”
