Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 18 Is she attracted to him again?

The patter of rain continued until dusk. The rain drove away the heat. The sound of the water flowing down from the white waterfall behind the house added to the coolness of the night.

Only after getting into bed did Jing Shu believe that Li Ling's words during the day were really not bluffing her.

He was still reluctant to let her go until the middle of the night before he reluctantly let her go.

Jingshu was so tired that she was dripping with sweat, as if she had been fished out of water.

 It was the bathroom where Li Ling was carrying him again.

After washing and returning to bed, he held her in his arms, stroked the fine hair on her forehead, and asked in her ear: "Have you brought the ointment prescribed by the imperial doctor?"

How did she know that he would follow, and how could she carry that thing with her?

Jingshu raised her head, looked at her with a pair of blurred and charming eyes, and pretended to be angry: "What do you think?"

 “Does it hurt?” he asked in a low voice.

At this time he actually remembered to pity her.

Perhaps it’s been a long time and experienced a lot, so the pain and swelling are not as sore as before after these few times, but Jingshu still muttered: “It hurts a lot.”

Li Ling said in a low voice through his pajamas, "Let me rub it for you."

Jing Shu's face turned slightly red with embarrassment, she quickly turned sideways and said, "No need."

Li Ling smiled, hugged her tightly and said, "This is far from the camp. I have to get up early and go back tomorrow."

Jingshu was so tired that she just wanted to sleep, so she responded with a "huh" sound.

 “I’ll come over earlier after taking care of the important things.” Li Ling continued.

Jingshu opened her eyes and asked, "Are you coming over tomorrow?"

Li Ling looked down at her and asked, "What? You're not welcome?"

Jingshu smiled and said: "That's not true, it's just that it's hard for you to run back and forth like this."

It was rare to hear the bride say such thoughtful words to her sincerely, and Li Ling felt so relieved that she couldn't help but suppress it.

Jingshu was so frightened that she exclaimed in a low voice: "Why are you here again?"

 Li Ling looked at the delicate little wife beneath him, curled his lips, and replied: "If Madam feels sorry for me, why not serve her well?"

 Jingshu: “.”

By the time Li Ling finally had enough fun, Jingshu was so tired that she couldn't even move her fingers. Listening to the even breathing of the person beside her, she felt no sleepiness and couldn't calm down for a long time.

 In this life, she has changed.

 Li Ling has also changed.

 Thinking about what he had done for her during this period and what he said to her, it made her feel like she was in a dream.

She turned sideways and looked carefully at the husband of her two lives through the hazy moonlight.

He was extremely handsome. Not only did he have the masculine beauty that stood out among men, but his eyebrows were also filled with the noble aura of a child of a noble family.

The end is a good appearance that is rare in the world.

Perhaps a large part of the reason why she was so obsessed with him in her previous life was because of his good looks.

 Such a handsome man is enough to capture the heart of any woman in the world.

 She is not exempt from vulgarity.

As he watched, Jingshu leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.

This action even surprised her.

When Jingshu opened her sleepy eyes the next day, her side was already empty. Li Ling had left without knowing when, and she suddenly felt empty in her heart.

It was still early, but she was no longer sleepy, so she got up and called Ziyun.

Ziyun put on her clothes and entered. Seeing that Jingshu had already stood up, she hurriedly stepped forward to serve her and said, "It's still early, why don't you, Miss, get some more sleep?"

She spent the night outside last night, but she couldn't stop hearing the noise inside. It didn't matter that my uncle was very energetic, but my young lady should have had more rest because of her delicate body.

"I'm not sleepy anymore." Jingshu said as she got out of bed, combing her hair and asking, "When did the prince leave?"

 “Leave before Yin hour.”

 “It’s so early.” Jing Shu whispered to herself.

 “That’s right, we walked out before daybreak.”

It rained all day yesterday and the mountain road was slippery, so it must be difficult to walk.

Jingshu felt a little distressed.

After breakfast, Jingshu left the house and stood alone in front of the waterfall for a long time. The gurgling water sloped down from the mountains and hit the rocks below, making a splashing sound.

 Her mind was filled with the shadow of Li Ling.

It wasn't until Ziyun came to look for her and said that she heard from people at Yasongju that the eldest princess had finished her breakfast that Jingshu came to her senses and led Ziyun towards the eldest princess's residence. Mother-in-law is not in the house all year round, and she does not fulfill her duties as a daughter-in-law on weekdays. Taking advantage of this time to live together, she always thought of doing her best.

 She felt a bit of admiration for this mother-in-law.

Arrived at Yasongju, the eldest princess was sitting on the soft couch in the outer room, drinking tea. Jingshu stepped forward to respectfully greet her.

The eldest princess ordered her to sit down, so Jingshu sat down under her mother-in-law.

"I brewed pine needles today. I wonder if you can get used to it?" the eldest princess said.

Jingshu's father's hometown is the hometown of tea gardens. She usually only likes to drink a kind of white tea produced in her hometown. But in front of her mother-in-law, she naturally doesn't care about it and just replies: "I'm used to it."

Mammy Xu, who was next to the eldest princess, stepped forward and poured a cup for Jingshu.

Jingshu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and said to her mother-in-law: "This should be brewed with the dew collected in the morning."

Hearing this, the eldest princess showed a little surprise on her face and asked, "Do you know about tea?"

Jingshu nodded and said, "The Shen family's ancestors were from the tea country, so they know a little bit about it."

The eldest princess nodded and said, "No wonder."

Jingshu continued: "If this Longjing tea before the rain is brewed with the dew picked from lotus leaves in summer, or the frost picked from plum blossoms in winter, the tea will have a stronger aroma."

The eldest princess loved the tea ceremony. She was very happy to have met her close friend. She turned to Nanny Xu and said, "Let them go to the lake to pick some lotus dew tomorrow. I'll give it a try."

Seeing that her master was happy, Grandma Xu was also happy. She smiled and agreed, "I'll give the order right now."

Jing Shu also smiled and echoed: "Tomorrow, collect the lotus dew and put it in an urn. When the sun comes out, seal it first and put it in the sun for an hour to dissipate the sourness in the dew. It’s better to use.”

Mother Xu happily agreed and said, "I told them to do as my wife said."

Jingshu looked at the eldest princess and said, "When the dew has settled, I will make tea with my mother-in-law."

The eldest princess said: "That's very good."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were discussing tea here, and the third girl came in. When she saw Jingshu, she complained: "Second sister-in-law turns out to be at mother's place, making it difficult for me to find her."

The eldest princess asked: "Why didn't you let them take you to the garden?"

The third girl sat down next to the eldest princess and replied: "What's the point of walking alone? I want to go with my second sister-in-law."

The eldest princess looked at her daughter's cute and innocent look, with a smile on her face, and said: "In the past, I always walked alone, and I never saw you saying it was boring, and you kept saying how nice this garden was all day long. , I can’t get enough of shopping.”

The third girl replied coquettishly: "Today is different from the past." As she said that, she looked at Jingshu, then turned to her mother, and smiled playfully: "Now, don't I have a second sister-in-law?"

Xu Yan is the eldest princess's nursing, half the master. After listening to the words of the three girls, she joked and joked: "Your second sister is your second brother.

　　When mentioning her brother, the third girl pouted and complained to her mother: "Mom, my second brother is so annoying. He always scolds me."

The eldest princess smiled helplessly and replied: "Then you must have been naughty again. Tell me, what trouble did you get into again?"

"What kind of trouble have I gotten into, it's not because of that four." When the words came to her lips, the third girl swallowed back what she had not spoken.

 Her mother was obviously happy that she and her second sister-in-law came to the garden to accompany her.

She doesn’t want to mention people her mother doesn’t like and make her unhappy.

 “It’s not because of some trivial matters.” The third girl muttered.

“If mother is not with you, you have to listen to your grandmother, brother and sister-in-law, you know?”

No mother in the world can truly disregard her own flesh and blood, even if she is as proud and noble as the eldest princess. But asking her to forgive her husband's betrayal like other women, she really couldn't do it. With her status, it is not impossible to bring all the children with her, but it will only delay the children.

It is always better to be the legitimate son and daughter of the Duke of Zhen's palace than to follow her semi-widowed mother.

The third girl was still resentful of her brother and said angrily: "The eldest sister-in-law is like my mother. From now on, I will only listen to the second sister-in-law. The second brother will never control me based on his status as an elder brother."

Mother Xu smiled and said: "She actually said some childish words, but it's good to listen to my sister-in-law."

The eldest princess smiled and said, "It's your second sister-in-law's first time here. Let them take you to the garden."

The third girl stood up and pulled Jingshu along, and said happily: "Second sister-in-law, let's go."

Jingshu smiled at the eldest princess and said, "The weather is cool today. Mother, please go out with us for a walk."

The eldest princess waved her hand: "I don't like to move."

Hearing what Jingshu said, the third girl echoed: "Come on, mother, you can come with us for a walk. It's boring to be bored in the house all the time."

Mother Xu also advised: "Yes, the children are right, you should also go out for a walk to relax."

The eldest princess couldn't resist everyone's persuasion and agreed: "Okay, then I will go out with you for a walk."

I have been writing this article for more than half a month. I see that there are many treasures in my collection, and some people have sent me tickets. Thank you all for this.

This article is a serious drama.

The heroine is kind-hearted and wise, and the hero is a straight-faced patriarch. Some guys can't stand the male protagonist. Don't worry, dear friends, this guy will be submissive sooner or later by our little heroine.
