The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 11 Newlyweds

During dinner, Li Ling stood up, pushed Jing Shu and greeted, "It's time to get up and eat."

Jingshu turned over and muttered: "You go and eat, I still want to sleep."

Li Ling then dressed himself and went out to eat.

When Ziyun saw Li Ling come out, she was happy that the couple had reconciled, but she couldn't help but feel sorry for her young lady: she didn't even come out to eat, she must have been tortured by her uncle again.

Bilu was worried when she saw that her young lady didn't come out. She murmured in her heart: Could it be that my uncle had struck too hard and crippled the young lady?

Li Ling glanced at the two little maids with different expressions and ordered: "Tell the kitchen to stew some bird's nest porridge later, and serve it to the lady when she wakes up."

Ziyun quickly agreed to go, and Li Ling went out after having dinner alone.

When Jingshu woke up, it was already the willow branches above the moon.

Ziyun brought the bird's nest porridge and finished eating it. Jingshu handed the bowl to Ziyun, stretched her waist, and said lazily: "You go down and rest, I still want to sleep for a while."

Ziyun advised: "You just ate something, why don't you get up and walk around to eliminate your food."

After saying this, she regretted it. She couldn't even get off the ground to eat, and she didn't have the strength to move around.

Seeing Jingshu lying weakly on the pillow, Ziyun said with heartache: "I have advised you not to be angry with me. Let's see, it's not you who suffers in the end..."

Jingshu lay on the pillow, closed her eyes, and simply didn't want to say anything.

"But now that my uncle can pick you up in person, don't you see how envious those noble ladies are." After saying that, she leaned into Jingshu's ear and whispered: "Especially the third girl from the Zhou family, her eyes are so greedy,

My servant saw that you and my uncle’s carriage were both moving, and she was still holding up the carriage curtain to look at it."

"He's just along for the ride." Jingshu hummed.

"What is rare is my uncle's kindness. The young lady and my uncle are so angry. I was worried that you would lose my uncle's favor because of this."

While the two were talking, Li Ling came in. Ziyun quickly stopped and retreated respectfully.

Li Ling walked to the bed, took off his robe and hung it on the clothes rack at the end of the bed, and asked, "Are you feeling better?"

Did he have the nerve to ask? When he was pestering her in bed, he never thought of pity for her.

Jingshu said nothing and turned her head sideways.

Li Ling said no more, went into the bathroom, washed up, and went to bed.

Seeing that she only had her back for him, he hugged her from behind, leaned against her ear and asked softly: "Are you not over it yet?"

"What do you think?" Jingshu asked.

Li Ling was silent for a while and replied: "I didn't control it well."

With that said, he picked her up in his arms, turned her face, and said: "You left me in the study these two days, but I was bitten by mosquitoes. Can we make it even?"

Jing Shu raised her head and glared at him with a pair of almond-shaped eyes: "You're such a slap in the face. How come I drove you to the study? You obviously went there by yourself, okay?"

Li Ling retorted: "That's not all the same. If you don't hate me, can I go to the study?"

Jing Shu sneered: "If I don't accompany you to the General's Mansion, am I just being jealous of you? It's obvious that you have a small belly."

She actually said he had a small belly?

This bride is really difficult!

Li Ling was afraid of annoying her again like that day, so he stopped arguing.

But Jingshu said reluctantly: "If you like to sleep in the study, I will order them to hang up the mosquito net, and you can stay there from now on."

After that, she broke away from his arms, moved the pillow inside, and turned her back to him.

Li Ling moved over and hugged her from behind, put his face on her neck, and said in a hoarse voice: "Don't be angry, okay."

That last sentence was said very softly, as if coaxing him.

Jingshu turned around, looked at him and said solemnly: "If you get angry with me and move out again, don't come back again."

"Yeah." Li Ling nodded solemnly.

With that said, he took her into his arms again and repeated in her ear: "I know."

Jingshu believed that he could keep his word. Since he had already begged her in this way, she really stopped being angry and shrank into his strong arms and was embraced by him docilely.

Li Ling hugged her for a while, touched her through her pajamas with his big hands and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

Jingshu whispered: "It seems a little swollen."

Li Ling was silent for a moment, pressed his face against her hair, and whispered: "I'll go to Dr. Zhang to prescribe some medicine tomorrow."

When Jing Shu heard that he actually wanted to go to the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine, she raised her head and quickly stopped him: "What medicine should I prescribe? No need, just rest for two days and it will be fine."

How embarrassing it would be to go to the imperial doctor to prescribe medicine because of this matter!

"Go to sleep." Li Ling patted her head.

The night was silent, the moonlight was hazy, and the newlyweds embraced each other and fell asleep.

When Jingshu woke up in Li Ling's arms, it was already dawn. She glanced at Geng Le, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Why didn't you go to practice martial arts today?"

Usually at this time, he would have gone to practice martial arts early, and when she got up, the side of the bed would usually be empty.

"It's raining outside," he replied.

Practicing martial arts in the early morning is a habit that remains unshakable to him no matter how windy or rainy he is.

Hearing what he said, she didn't want to ask any more questions, so she simply buried her head on his chest again and said, "Since I'm not going to practice martial arts today and have a rest, why not sleep more."

Seeing his young wife's lazy look, Li Ling promised, but he stretched out his arms to wrap his arms around her soft waist, and his other hand became restless under the quilt.

Jingshu hadn't fully woken up yet, so she held his hand in a daze, yawned and said, "Don't make trouble, I still want to sleep."

He finally became more honest, leaned over and asked in her ear: "Is everything okay there?"

What's better?

Jingshu was in a daze for a while before she realized what was happening. She was so frightened that she lost all sleep. She quickly stood up and sat up, and said to him: "It's fifteen today. I have to pay my respects to my grandmother. Get up quickly."
