Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 156 Li Ling is embarrassed by Guo Cuiyan

Just as he was talking, Li Ling had already stepped into the room. Guo Cuiyan saw Li Ling. She stood up from her chair with a gentle smile on her face and said to Li Ling: "Second cousin, I'm on duty."

Li Ling only nodded slightly as a response to her, and then went to the inner room by himself.

Jing Shu thought that Guo Cuiyan was leaving when Li Ling returned, but she didn't expect that she saw Li Ling enter the inner room and sat down on the chair again. She picked up the tea cup again, took a sip and said to Jing Shu: "Second cousin sister-in-law." This tea is good.”

Jingshu was also speechless towards this cousin girl, but anyone who came was a guest. Although she didn't like to be socialized with her, she couldn't show it on her face, so she smiled and replied: "If cousin likes it, I'll wait for you." I'll bring some for you, and I'll keep it for you to drink back."

Guo Cuiyan did not refuse, and said gratefully: "In this case, I won't be polite to my cousin. Thank you first."

She looked at Jingshu and said warmly: "I don't know why, ever since I moved into the Duke's Mansion in this town, I have felt very friendly when I met my cousin-in-law. I don't have any sisters in my family. My sister-in-law is modest and kind. When I met my sister-in-law, she seemed like my sister."

Hearing her compliments, Jingshu sneered in her heart, but her face remained as usual, and she replied calmly: "Thanks to my cousin's liking, if you have time, you can come here and sit here often."

Guo Cuiyan smiled innocently: "Then I won't be polite. It's just that I come back more often, sister-in-law, please don't find me annoying."

Jing Shu was patiently dealing with Guo Cuiyan here, and Li Ling opened the door and strode out from the inner room. He looked at Jing Shu with a cold face and said, "Just order them to prepare the food. I have something to do after dinner." .”

Seeing this, Guo Cuiyan stood up and said to Jing Shu: "I won't disturb my cousin and cousin, so I'll take my leave now."

Jingshu said a few more polite words to her, and ordered Danzhu to pack her a bag of tea leaves.

Guo Cuiyan ordered Chunhong to take the tea, and after thanking Jingshu politely, she smiled and said to Li Ling: "I have been in this mansion for a few days, and I have often heard people praise Biao Sou for being a kind person. After being in contact with him so many times, I just feel like she’s not as good as one-tenth of what my cousin is praised for. I’m so lucky to have such a good wife.”

She had an extremely warm smile on her face, and her tone of voice when speaking to Li Ling was also very gentle. However, Li Ling had a cold face and even a perfunctory expression.

After Guo Cuiyan said this to Li Ling in a pleasant manner, Li Ling did not respond. She stood dryly on the spot, looking very embarrassed.

How could Jingshu not see Guo Cuiyan's little trick in mind? She smiled and said, "I just treat others well, so I just treat them wholeheartedly. I can't be as good as my cousin praises me."

As she spoke, she made a "please" gesture towards Guo Cuiyan: "Cousin, please walk slowly. Come and sit here often when you have time."

After Guo Cuiyan left, Li Ling said to Jingshu: "Since you don't like her, why did you let her come to us?"

I do n’t like it, but she is the master and mother, how can she ignore the grace of face.

Jingshu smiled and asked Li Ling, "How do you know I don't like her?"

Li Ling pulled his wife over and replied: "When we came back last night, I saw you frowning slightly when you looked at her, and I noticed that you didn't like this person."

Jingshu smiled and joked: "It's rare for the prince to care so much about my every move. Have you noticed even such a subtle movement?"

Li Ling frowned slightly: "Why do I feel so awkward when you call me 'Sir'?" He glared at her: "Don't call me that again in the future."

Jingshu replied: "I obey your orders, Your Majesty."

Li Ling pulled her into his arms, stretched out his hand to tug her ears, and said with a smile: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Did you mean to make me angry?"

But when Guo Cuiyan left Qingfeng Garden, her smiling face suddenly dropped. The eldest son of the Li family actually didn't give her face like this. How could she, a girl who had not yet left the court, be able to hang on to her?

Besides, she had ulterior motives, and when she saw people being so cold and cold-faced, she almost kicked them out, which made Guo Cuiyan even more unhappy.

Chunhong glanced at her girl's ugly face and couldn't help but muttered: "This prince is really a rude person. Miss, you are a guest after all, but he actually disrespects you."

Seeing Guo Cuiyan's silence, Chunhong said angrily: "I think this master is really not an easy master to get along with. I am better, as he is more kind and approachable. As a slave, we still have more to do with the master." The right way is to work hard.”

Guo Cuiyan said dullly: "You are right, the eldest cousin is indeed better at handling things, but he is also a master who likes the new and hates the old. Just look at how he treats the charming girl."

Seeing that her master finally spoke, Chunhong replied: "Isn't it just glory and wealth that you seek? No matter what he does, as long as he can live this splendid and wealthy life, you still want those illusory things like personal love and love." Do you really take it to heart?"

This sentence really speaks to Guo Cuiyan's heart. The Guo family has long been in decline, and now they are just holding on to nothing. She has no biological mother, and the step-in-law adopted by her father is also fierce and greedy. She is eager to squeeze a few taels out of her. Where's the oil and water?

If she doesn't make long-term plans for herself, her life will be over.

If she could marry into this splendid Zhenguo Duke's mansion and become a serious master, wouldn't she rise through the ranks and become a master all of a sudden?

No matter which man he belongs to, as long as he is the master of the Duke's Mansion in this town, if she, Guo Cuiyan, can tie up one of them, she will make a lot of money.

Guo Cuiyan thought about it in her heart, and took Chunhong to the courtyard where she was staying. Before she stepped into the yard, the grandma of the Song Le Hall's messenger rushed up happily.

“Girl, my wife wants you to go to Songle Hall for dinner in the evening.”

Guo Cuiyan is eloquent, and Guo is a person who likes to be flattered by others. Therefore, since Guo Cuiyan defected to the Guo family, she has won the favor of the Guo family. Every now and then, the Guo family will let her eat at Songletang.

It's just that Guo Cuiyan just had a bad encounter in Qingfeng Garden, and now she is upset, so she doesn't have the energy to coax Mrs. Guo.

Guo Cuiyan said calmly to Mrs. Tongzhuan: "I still have something to do in the house. Please tell my aunt, I won't go there today."

The mother-in-law had Guo's life, and she couldn't invite anyone to deal with her, so she insisted: "Girl, if there is any serious matter, it's the same thing after dinner. Today, my uncle is off duty early, so my wife invites you to come over." For dinner, a big table of dishes has been prepared in the small kitchen, and my wife is waiting for you, so you’d better go over there.”

As soon as he heard that Guo had invited Li Xian, Guo Cuiyan's mind became active. He replied: "Since it is my aunt's wish, I can't go against it. I'll go back and change my clothes first."
