Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 326 Showing Goodwill

After returning to Qingfeng Garden, Li Ling glanced at Jingshu's face and said, "Are you really willing to accompany your grandmother to the palace?"

Jingshu replied: "Apart from my grandmother, I am the only one who has a royal title. If I don't go with my grandmother, should I let her go alone when she is old?"

Li Ling sighed and said, "I didn't expect that this imperial edict would put an extra burden on you."

 A few years ago, Jing Shu would have been extremely reluctant to see Qing Luan who had her own man in her heart, but now, Jing Shu's mood is no longer the same as before.

Now that she has already established her position in the palace, and she is well aware of Li Ling's affection for her, let alone a woman who only knows how to cry, no matter how outstanding a woman comes forward, Jing Shu also firmly believes that Li Ling will love her. Unfailing loyalty.

 This is the self-confidence that a woman with a truly strong heart should have.

Jingshu slowly replied to Li Ling: "Although I don't like Qingluan, as the mistress of this palace, I am responsible for such things. If everyone shirks it, I'm afraid my grandmother will do it." Sad."

Although she no longer cares whether Qingluan is true, in front of Li Ling, she still needs to speak her words perfectly, so that a man like Li Ling can be more obedient to her.

Sure enough, Li Ling couldn't help but feel touched after hearing his wife's words.

Such a wife who understands justice and has filial piety is not comparable to a petite and selfish woman like Qingluan. The two of them are simply as different as clouds and mud. Even a hundred Qingluan cannot be half as good as his wife.

 Li Ling pulled his wife into his arms, looked at her lovingly and said: "When the decree comes from the palace, I will personally send you and your grandmother there."

Jingshu smiled at Li Ling and nodded.

The young couple were enjoying themselves in the house when the wet nurse came in with Brother Xuan and Sister Bao. As soon as the two little guys saw their parents, they ran over happily with their little hands open.

Li Ling was naturally the first to pick up his beloved little daughter. Brother Xuan had long been accustomed to his father's favoritism, so he ran over and threw himself into his mother's arms.

 Li Ling picked up his daughter and kissed her again and again. With a doting smile on his face, he asked softly: "Where did Sister Bao and brother go to play just now?"

Sister Bao was held in the arms of her strong and powerful father. The little guy smiled sweetly at his father. Two cute pear dimples were revealed on his round face. His **** eyes flashed and he replied with a milky voice. : "Just now, my wet nurse took my brother and I to the plum garden to see the plum blossoms."

Li Ling looked at his beautiful and lovely little daughter with a smile, his heart felt like it was soaked in a honey jar. He kissed his daughter on the cheek and asked, "Are the plum blossoms pretty?"

 Sister Bao replied with her baby's milky voice, "It's beautiful."

After hearing what his daughter said, Li Ling turned around and told the little girls at the door: "Go to the plum garden, pick some plum blossoms, put them in a bottle, and put them in my sister's house."

The little girls followed the order and left. Li Ling placed his daughter on the warm couch, carefully took off her thick coat, and said softly: "It's hot in the room, daddy, help you take off these thick clothes, otherwise you will be covered up." Sweating."

Sister Bao was spoiled by her father. She put her little arms around Li Ling's neck, giggled and kissed her father's cheek.

Jingshu also took off the thick cotton coat for her son with her own hands, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the sweat from the little guy, and then poured a glass of warm water for her son to drink.

Brother Xuan has been strictly required by Li Ling since he was sensible. Although the little guy is as big as Sister Bao, he is more sensible than his sister. Brother Xuan took the tea cup and drank the water, then handed it to his mother and said politely: "Thank you, mother."

The couple were coaxing their children in the house when Ziyun came in and asked Shen Jinglan to see them.

A while ago, Shen Jinglan just wrote to Jingshu to invite her to visit the Marquis Mansion. After being rejected by Jingshu, she rushed to visit her again a few days ago. It can be seen that she is extremely eager to please Jingshu, the eldest sister.

Since the person has already arrived at the door, Jing Shu naturally can't drive her out. After all, outsiders don't know what happened between the sisters. If the quarrel is too ugly, people will inevitably make jokes behind their backs.

As soon as Li Ling heard that Shen Jinglan had arrived, the smile on his face disappeared. He hugged his daughter to his wife and said calmly: "I'll go to the study for a while first."

People like Li Ling hate shameless women, so naturally they don't want to see this shameless sister-in-law.

Jingshu knew that Li Ling didn't want to see Shen Jinglan, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead. After I send her away, we can have dinner together. I'll ask the kitchen to get a pot in a while, and we'll cook the pot for dinner in the evening."

 Li Ling agreed, turned around and left the house. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he happened to meet the woman who was passing by and led Shen Jinglan in.

Shen Jinglan has not seen Li Ling for a long time. Now she no longer dares to be as arrogant as before. Shen Jinglan stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and called out politely: "How are you, brother-in-law?"

Li Ling, however, didn't even look at her and walked away with a cold face and long strides. Shen Jinglan stood there awkwardly, sighed deeply, and then followed her mother-in-law into the upper room.

When Shen Jinglan saw Jingshu, she first presented her with the generous gift and greeted her warmly: "In the past, I was always taken care of by my sister, and she would give us things every once in a while. Now it's my duty as a sister to show my filial piety." It’s time, sister.”

Jingshu said lightly: "You must have come to see me again and again because you have something to ask for. But I have made it clear to you a long time ago that I no longer want to have anything to do with you."

When the two children saw that their mother was unhappy, they rushed over to her. Sister Bao kissed Jingshu on the face. Brother Xuan held her mother's arm and shook her, saying, "Daddy said you can't make your mother angry."

Jingshu comforted the two children and asked the wet nurse to take them to the cubicle to play.

Shen Jinglan looked at her eldest sister, who was still as beautiful as a flower after giving birth, and at her two cute and well-behaved children, and her heart felt like it was immersed in a vat of vinegar.

She has always been inferior to this eldest sister since she was a child. Now that she is married into a high-ranking family, the eldest sister is not only loved by everyone in the family, but also favored by her husband. Now she has a pair of children by her side, but she is still inferior to her in every way. .

Shen Jinglan wiped her tears and said: "Eldest sister, do you still resent me for what happened in the past? To be honest with you, I originally had the idea of ​​getting close to my brother-in-law and marrying into the government, but I never thought of harming you. I I really don’t know that my mother secretly drugged the tea. If I knew, I would definitely not do it.”

"That's all, I don't want to hear these things," before Shen Jinglan could finish speaking, Jingshu interrupted her and said, "Although your mother deliberately tried to harm me, luckily God has eyes and allowed me to have a son and a daughter. Now, I don’t want to waste time remembering what happened back then, but there are too many grievances between us, so from now on, it’s better to go back to the bridge.”

Seeing that she could not move Jingshu, Shen Jinglan had no choice but to return angrily.
