Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 7 Separation

Jingshu saw that Li Ling was covered in blood by her, and the suffocation in her heart disappeared, and she took a warm bath comfortably.

Ziyun heard the argument between the two outside and reminded tentatively: "My slave didn't look very well when I saw my uncle just going out. Do you want me to go out and look for my uncle?"

It’s the dog days. Even though the sun has gone down, it’s still steamer-like outside, humid and stuffy. She just took a shower and didn't like going out.

"He went out for a walk and came back. Do you still have the melon from just now? Cut it into a few more pieces and I'll eat it to quench my thirst."

Ziyun had no choice but to get the ice melon.

It was ice cold. Jingshu ate two pieces happily and immediately felt refreshed.

After eating, Jingshu leaned on the couch and picked up a book and flipped through it casually.

 She hurt Li Ling, even though it was unintentional, but she still felt a little sorry when Li Ling was really angry.

 It's just that she won't pamper him like she did in her previous life, and she won't go out to look for him. But he was angry because of her, and she couldn't act like a normal person.

 At least, make a show of waiting for him to come back.

But he waited and waited but did not see Li Ling return.

 Ziyun couldn't hold his breath anymore. She couldn't help but worry about her master. He had a fight with his uncle as soon as he entered the house. If he lost his favor because of this, it wouldn't be her young lady who would suffer.

Ziyun called Zhu Dan and Bilu and asked, "Where did you go when you saw my uncle outside just now?"

 “I seem to have gone to the North Study Room.” Bilu replied.

Ziyun looked at Jingshu and advised, "I think it's better for me to go to the study to look for my uncle. If you give me a step down, I will naturally stop worrying about you."

Jingshu glanced at Geng and found out that he was not coming back at this hour, and it seemed that he had no intention of coming back.

They were newlyweds, and when he snubbed her like this, he clearly didn't care that the people in the palace laughed at her because she, as a bride, was unpopular with her husband.

Then she has nothing to worry about.

Jing Shu put down the book in her hand, pointed to the quilt on the bed, and said, "You guys will take my uncle's quilt to the study later. It's already so late and he hasn't come back yet. He probably has some official business to deal with urgently." . He comes home late and wants to disturb my sleep, so let him sleep in the study tonight."

 After hearing what Jing Shu said, the little girls were stunned and stunned.

“Miss, how is this possible?” Seeing that the young lady was at odds with her uncle, Ziyun felt anxious.

Jing Shu’s eyes flashed with anger: “Just let you go. If the prince asks, I will give him my exact words.”

Although my young lady looks weak, she has a strong temper. Seeing that Jingshu looked unkind, Ziyun did not dare to persuade her anymore, so she called two little girls and asked, "Which one of you will send her off?"

Ziyun was really jealous of this uncle, and she didn't dare to get into trouble.

“The cicada on the tree outside was screaming loudly, disturbing the young lady’s sleep, so I went to kill the cicada.” As he said that, Danzhu ran out like a whirlwind.

Before Bi Wei could react, Ziyun quickly handed the quilt to her: "Then you go."

"me"

You see my uncle getting scared, aren't I afraid? I'm still so young!

Bi Wei doesn’t want to go.

It is said that a strong general has no weak soldiers. How come the few confidants he has are less useful than the others?

"Go ahead, just say it's what I mean. Can he still make things difficult for you, a little girl?" Jing Shu saw Bilu being coy and motionless, and although she was angry, she still wanted to cheer her up.

After lingering for a while, Bilu reluctantly hugged the quilt and walked out of the room, heading towards the north study room.

Ziyun fanned Jingshu, but she still felt uneasy: What would happen if a man as proud as his son, such as his young lady, never came back in the future?

After a while, Bilui came back with a pouted mouth. Ziyun called her and asked, "You just went to the study to give away the quilt. Did my uncle say anything?"

Bilu was still feeling aggrieved about what had just happened, and replied with a sullen face: "My uncle didn't say anything, but he looked not very good. Sister, really, you asked me to do such a thing, and you just scared me. .”

Ziyun asked her to go to bed first, then turned around and couldn't help but persuade Jingshu: "Miss, you can just have a few words with my uncle, why do you have to drive people out? My uncle must be annoyed, why not I will accompany you to bring my uncle back."

"If he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago. If he didn't want to come back, what's the point of asking him to come back."

 Ziyun wanted to persuade him again. Jingshu turned around and said, "I'm sleepy. You guys should go and sleep."

After breakfast on the second day, Jingshu took Ziyun to the front yard to greet the old lady. Before they arrived at Anxi Hall, she saw a tall figure standing under a tree from a distance.

 As if waiting for someone.

With sharp eyes, Ziyun quickly whispered in Jingshu's ear: "My uncle must be waiting for you. It's rare that my uncle can put down his posture and beg for your kindness in disguise. You must stop it and stop making trouble."

 She didn’t have to make a big fuss with him, she just didn’t want to follow in the footsteps of her previous life. If Li Ling respects her, she will naturally give him face.

 At least in front of outsiders, she will play the role of his good wife.

Jingshu walked forward slowly, bowed slightly to Li Ling, and asked with a smile: "It's so early, Your Majesty, why don't you go in?"

She was wearing a light pink gauze skirt today. Such a fresh color made her skin as white as fat.

The little woman Tingting stood in front of him, with no trace of displeasure on her bright face.

Li Ling didn't have a good sleep last night. The bride actually used such a tactful method to shut him out. He was too annoyed to sleep. In the second half of the night, he finally became sleepy and was harassed by mosquitoes again. Although there was a bed in the study room, there was no mosquito net hanging. The mosquitoes "buzzed" around him that night and spent the New Year.

 His eyes were dark.

 Looking at her, her face was full of spring breeze, and her complexion seemed to be better than usual.

Li Ling replied with a cold face: "I came early, and I was afraid that my grandmother wouldn't get up yet, so I waited outside for a while."

 It turned out that she was just being sentimental and he wasn't waiting for her on purpose!

“Oh, the sun is getting hotter, and I’m afraid of the heat, so I’ll go in and wait for my grandmother.” After saying that, Jingshu left Li Ling behind and walked slowly towards Anxi Hall.

Seeing that his wife had just left, Li Ling also spread his long legs and followed her into Anxi Hall not far or near.

Mrs. Li has not felt well since she fell asleep. She has taken some conditioning medicine in the past few days and feels better. Li Ling and Jing Shu greeted the old lady.

Since the old lady became ill, she has concentrated on recuperating, so she doesn’t need the younger generation to pay her respects. Today I saw my grandson and granddaughter-in-law being the first to come to pay their respects, and I felt very comforted.

 The two of them sat down next to each other under the old lady.

Mrs. Li looked at her grandson and saw that there were several marks of mosquito bites on his face. She asked distressedly: "Don't you have a mosquito net in your room? Why are he bitten like this?"

 When I turned around to see my granddaughter-in-law, she was completely clean.

How could a mosquito avoid biting one with such thin skin and tender flesh, but choose to eat one with rough skin and thick flesh?

His grandson looked not good either.

 The old lady guessed it in her heart.

Grandma is a careful and shrewd person. Li Ling knew that he couldn't hide it, so he had to say perfunctorily: "There was a lot of business yesterday, and my grandson was busy in the study until midnight. He was afraid that he would go back and disturb the bride, so he spent the night in the study."

Mrs. Li didn't want to tell the truth about the young couple's matter. She took advantage of the situation and told her: "No matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your health. How can you sleep in the study? Go back to the room early tonight and get a good night's sleep."

This is my grandmother’s order.

 Tell him to go back to his room.

 You must listen to what the old man says!

Just as Li Ling was about to say yes, Jing Shu on the side said respectfully to the old lady: "My husband is really busy with official duties these days, but my granddaughter-in-law neglected to take care of me." After a while, the daughter-in-law ordered someone to go to the study to hang up the mosquito net, so that my husband If you are tired or sleepy, you can take a rest there for a while.”

 Li Ling: "."

 Is she going to shut him out completely?

 Each one's mouth is called "husband", and he is so affectionate in front of outsiders. She also spoke thoughtfully and looked like a good wife.

The old lady naturally had no reason to be displeased when she saw her grandson's virtuous daughter-in-law. She smiled and said, "You and your wife respect each other and love each other. This is the best filial piety to this old lady like me."

After that, she turned back to Nanny Sun, who was serving as her personal attendant, and said, "There is a piece of fine blue water and snow satin in the cabinet in the inner room. I think the color suits Shu'er. You can bring it back to Shu'er to make clothes." stop."

 After a while, Grandma Sun got the satin and gave it to Jingshu.

Jingshu quickly stood up and took it, thanking the old lady.

"Grandma, I'm here to see you." Jingshu was chatting with the old lady when the third girl, Jinyan, ran in from outside.

When the old lady saw her granddaughter, she hugged her in her arms and said angrily: "She is so old and she doesn't know how to behave when she jumps around. Why don't you say hello to your brother and sister-in-law when you see her?"

 The third girl broke away from the old lady's arms and said sharply: "Yan'er has met the second brother and the second sister-in-law."

When she saw a piece of snow satin lying on the tea table beside Jing Shu, her big eyes rolled darkly, and she turned to the old lady and asked: "Didn't my grandma say that day that she would give me a piece of snow satin to make clothes for me?" Why did you change your mind again and give it to your second sister-in-law?"

“Grandma is partial.” The third girl pouted.

“Grandma still has a red horse in her house. I’ll give you that one.”

 “I don’t want the red one, I like this cyan one.” Children always think other people’s things are better, and the third girl is the same.

 “You are a child, what kind of snow satin should you wear?” Li Ling, who had been sitting silently, said with a stern face.

The third girl was pampered and pampered growing up. Although she was usually afraid of this cold brother, with her grandmother, she had someone to support her, so she naturally became bolder.

"My second brother doesn't care for my sister anymore when he has a wife. He snatched the coral string from me a while ago, and today he came to **** the satin again. Grandma, look at him, how annoying he is." As he said this, the little girl felt so wronged that she was about to cry. As if.

Jingshu was a little embarrassed, but it wasn't that she was reluctant to give up the satin to her sister-in-law. But her grandmother had just given it to her. If she gave it away easily, she would be somewhat sorry for the old man's feelings.

“Don’t be upset, Jin’er, we both share half of this piece of satin,” Jing Shu said with a smile.

The third girl still pouted: the good things in the house come to her first, so why should she share them with this new sister-in-law?

 She was not convinced.

But looking at the sullen brother sitting next to Jingshu, the third girl did not dare to get angry with her new sister-in-law.

“There is a tailor shop over on Hexi Road, and the dresses they make are of novel styles. I will take you there another day, and we can let their tailor make us new styles of skirts, okay?”

Hearing that he would take her out of the house and that he was going to make a new style of dress, the third girl was moved.

Her eyes were shining as she walked up to Jingshu: "Is what the second sister-in-law said true?"

Her biological mother, who is a princess, is not in the house, and Mrs. Li doesn't go out often. Although she had everything she needed, she rarely had the opportunity to go out and play.

Jingshu nodded.

 Children are naturally playful and lively. When Jingshu said she wanted to take her out of the house, she completely forgot about her unhappiness and smiled brightly at Jingshu: "It's better to be sister-in-law."

 Out of Anxi Hall. Li Ling was going to the Yamen, and Jing Shu was going back to Qingfeng Garden. Before parting ways with Li Ling, she stood at the door of the courtyard and said to him with a smile: "My husband has worked **** errands, so come back early in the evening."

 She has a nice smile and still looks like a good wife.

 But the sentence "come back early in the evening." did not mean half the truth.

Li Ling is not stupid, why can’t you hear it? She said this to the servants outside Anxi Hall, not to him.

He remained sullen, only nodded slightly towards her, turned around and strode out the door.

Li Ling: Madam, do you know what you look like?

Jingshu:? ? ?

Li Ling: Drama expert.
