The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 108 Second Aunt Guo

It was not yet the first lunar month, so Li Xian didn't have to go on duty. Early in the morning, he came out of Aunt Cai's room and strolled to the bedroom.

Xu Wanning had just put breakfast on the table. When brother Kun saw his father coming, he put down his rice bowl and ran towards his father.

Li Xian picked up his son and walked to the dining table, put his son on his small chair, then turned around and kissed his daughter next to him.

Xu Wanning still didn't even raise her eyebrows.

Li Ling sat down on the chair, picked up the jade chopsticks and took a few bites of food for his son and daughter, and said calmly: "Are you ready for the things you brought for mother?"

Xu Wanning only replied with a faint "hmm" word.

The two of them didn't say another word and just ate in silence.

Brother Kun has become sensible and can understand the faces of adults. The children seem to be accustomed to the state of their parents. The little one is also silent and just keeps eating.

Only Sister Zhuang still couldn't understand the adults' awkwardness. The little guy was eating pumpkin juice, which was all over his mouth and hands, and he kept waving to his father and mother for hugs.

Li Xian simply put down the chopsticks, picked up the tablecloth and wiped his daughter's mouth and hands, picked her up from the small chair, and coaxed her to play on the floor.

After the family had breakfast, Xu Wanning greeted the girls to load the things they brought to the Guo family into the car. She held Sister Zhuang, and Li Xian held Brother Kun, and took the carriage out of the city to go to the family temple.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the temple.

In front of this temple is a row of main halls, where Bodhisattvas and Baojiaxian are enshrined. The side halls on both sides are where the ancestors of the Zhenguo Palace are ranked.

Behind the main hall is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, where the housekeepers and women who are responsible for taking care of the family temple live. More than half a year ago, another distinguished woman was welcomed here, and that was Li Xian's biological mother, Mrs. Guo.

Li Xian and Xu Wanning took the children into the backyard.

As soon as they entered the second door, Nanny Xu who was beside Guo rushed out to welcome them. When they saw Li Xian and the others, she sighed and said, "Sir, Madam, I've been waiting for you to come."

Li Xian hurriedly asked: "Mother is in trouble again?"

Aunt Xu replied: "Oh! Isn't that right? I made a fuss last night and smashed everything in the house. I haven't even had a drink of water since yesterday and I kept crying. I can't help you no matter how hard I try."

Can’t stop wow.”

When Li Xian heard this, his face looked anxious and he hurriedly went to his mother's house. Xu Wanning was not surprised, but since he was here, he followed her inside.

The two walked into Guo's yard and heard Guo's screams and curses coming from the main room. Li Xian hurried in, while Xu Wanning handed his son and daughter to the wet nurse first and ordered her to take the children to the side room.

.

What the mother-in-law did was not very scary, and Xu Wanning was worried that she would scare the children.

After the wet nurse took the children away, Xu Wanning entered the main room.

Sure enough, the house was smashed into a mess, and Mrs. Guo was sitting on the bed with her hair disheveled, howling: "Why am I so miserable? The old witch has brought me here for more than half a year, and she doesn't care."

"Oh! At this old age, I still have to be raped by that old witch. Oh, why is my life so miserable?"

"Second Master, if you have a soul in heaven, just open your eyes and take a look. Even though you have been dead for so many years, your old lady still refuses to let me go. Oh, oh!"

Xu Wanning secretly exhaled.

Her father-in-law, who passed away long ago, would be so frightened that he would close his eyes if he saw the widow acting like a ghost, even if he was a spirit in heaven.

Li Xian stepped forward, knelt in front of his mother, and cried: "Mother, what are you doing? If you have something wrong with you, do you want your son to live?"

When Mrs. Guo saw her son, she gradually stopped wailing and wiped her tears and said, "It's rare that you still remember me as a mother. I thought that even if I died here, no one would come to collect my body."

Li Xian stepped forward and hugged his mother and said, "If mother says this, where will she put her son?"

Mrs. Guo trembled and touched her son, sobbing again, and then caught a glimpse of her daughter-in-law, who was standing silently at the door.

She pulled her son up, glared at Xu Wanning, and said angrily: "What's the matter? Do you want me, the mother-in-law, to say hello to you?"

Xu Wanning has been making things difficult for her mother-in-law since she married Li Xian. Although she feels depressed, she is used to it.

She stepped forward, saluted Mrs. Guo and said hello, "Last time I came here, my mother said that the charcoal fire here was not very useful. This time I ordered them to bring a lot of silver charcoal, and my mother usually likes to eat it."

I also brought a lot of snacks and fruits.”

Mrs. Guo didn't appreciate it and snorted coldly: "It's hard for you to still have such filial piety."

She rolled her eyes at Xu Wanning: "I heard that the concubine who was given my son by the Holy Emperor was driven away by you, right?"

Although she was imprisoned here, she had confidants in the mansion. Even if she was not in the mansion, there would naturally be people who would report things to her whenever something happened.

After hearing her mother-in-law's accusation, Xu Wanning only looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian muttered and replied: "It was my son's idea to place her outside."

Mrs. Guo shouted sharply: "Shut up, I think you have really forgotten your mother when you have a wife. You don't know how to honor me, but you feel sorry for your wife."

Although Li Xian usually looks arrogant and unruly, he is like a mouse meeting a cat in front of my mother.

When he saw Mr. Guo showing off his power, he felt as if he had been pinched to death and did not dare to speak again.

Mrs. Guo turned her head sideways and continued to show her authority to her daughter-in-law: "You dare to drive away the concubine given by the emperor. I think you are becoming more and more presumptuous. If my son's future is ruined by you, don't you think I will?"

It would be strange for you to let my son divorce!"

"Don't think that since I'm not in the house now and there's no one to control you, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, as long as my old lady says a word, you will be a second cousin."

If in the past, seeing her mother-in-law being so insulting, Xu Wanning, a daughter-in-law, had to endure it even if she didn't want to, but now that the relationship between her and Li Xian was worthless, what else did she have to worry about?

Xu Wanning glanced at the cunning Mr. Guo and snorted coldly: "If mother-in-law doesn't like me, just let your son divorce me. Even if my noble daughter, a brave and courageous lady, becomes a second cousin, she will never give up."

I will come to the family temple in despair."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

It was the first time that Mrs. Guo saw her daughter-in-law dare to contradict her. She turned pale with anger, pointed at Li Xian and said, "Look, this is the good wife you love."

As she said that, she was so angry that she picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at Xu Wanning. Seeing her son coming to pull her away, she was even more angry and beat her son and said, "You are such a traitor, how dare you protect her."

Mrs. Guo instructed her son: "Go and slap her twice. Such a rebellious daughter-in-law must give her some color."

Seeing that her son didn't move, she was so angry that she cried and cursed: "You're such a traitor, I know you don't have me as a mother in your heart now."

Li Xian advised: "Mother, please don't be angry. This is her temper. I will take care of her when I get back."

Mrs. Guo, however, refused to give in. She cried hard: "I'd rather die if I have such an unfilial son like you."

"If you are thinking about me as a mother at all, I have been brought here by that old witch for more than half a year, why don't you try to take me back."

Xu Wanning glanced at her crazy mother-in-law, shook her head and left the house.

Standing in the sun, she suddenly felt very tired.

What kind of evil has she done, a noble daughter of a noble family, to have such a perverted husband and such a dishonest mother-in-law?
