The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 112 In front of outsiders, you have to save face for me

In the early morning of the next day, after the two of them had packed up, Li Ling went to bid farewell to Zhang Chao. Before leaving, his wife warned him angrily: "If he really wants to give you anything from a singer or dancer, you are not allowed to accept it."

Li Ling scratched the tip of his wife's nose with his fingers and said with a smile: "She was a good wife last night, but she has become a shrew again after just one night?"

The young wife rolled her eyes at him: "If you dare to accept it, see how I deal with you."

Li Ling smiled and joked: "With such a fierce wife in my family, let alone giving me a singer and dancer, even if Zhang Chao gives me a Nine Heavens Mysterious Girl, I wouldn't dare to ask for it."

As he said this, he patted his wife on the shoulder and said softly: "Get your things together quickly. After I say goodbye to Zhang Chao, we will hit the road. The guards are still at the official post. Let's go there to have breakfast. This will save money."

Time, hurry up and get to the city in front before dark."

After saying that, Li Ling turned around and walked out the door.

Jingshu looked at her husband's back with a satisfied smile on her face.

She strolled to the window and stared at her husband reluctantly, but as soon as Li Ling walked to the corner door, a graceful figure flashed out from outside and walked towards Li Ling.

Jing Shu looked intently and saw that it was the dancing girl named Cai Ling last night.

She stood in front of Li Ling, and after saluting Li Ling, she did not leave. Instead, she stood there talking to Li Ling.

After a while, Zhang Chao also came from outside and stood at the corner gate chatting and joking with Li Ling. I don't know what Zhang Chao and Li Ling said, so the dancing girl looked straight at Li Ling.

The smile on Jingshu's face suddenly froze.

She opened the door and headed towards the few people.

Li Ling and Zhang Chao turned their backs to her and did not see her come out. The dancing girl was thoughtful and did not notice her.

When Jing Shu got closer, she vaguely heard Zhang Chao's words: "We brothers haven't seen each other for so many years, and I want to keep you here for a few more days."

Li Ling replied: "I'm on official business, so I can't delay."

Zhang Chao sighed and said, "In this case, it's hard for me to keep you."

He glanced at the dancing girl aside: "Your Li family's swordsmanship is famous all over the world. It's rare that a little girl like Cai Ling also knows how to sword, so I will give her to you. I didn't get to watch your wedding, so this one is mine."

A little thought."

Although it is common for nobles to give concubines and prostitutes as gifts, I have never seen anything like this in the Zhang Dynasty.

A wedding gift for Ji Nu as a friend.

Besides, she, a decent lady, is still here, and she has no scruples about it.

Before Li Ling could reply, Jing Shu said, "General Zhang is really a man of etiquette."

Then several people turned around and noticed Jingshu.

Li Ling asked: "It's so cold in the morning, why did you come out?"

Jing Shu secretly rolled her eyes at him and said calmly: "I came here and delayed your conversation?"

As she said that, she glanced solemnly at Cai Ling, who was half-red-faced.

Li Ling looked at his wife and replied: "I am saying goodbye to Brother Zhang. You go back and wait for me."

Anyone with eyes could see Jingshu's displeasure. Zhang Chao guessed that she must have heard what he said about giving a woman to Li Ling just now. He awkwardly said in greetings: "I originally wanted to keep Madam and Bo Yue for a few more days, but what's the matter?

You are in a hurry."

"General Zhang is so hospitable and entertains you so thoughtfully. I and your husband are very grateful."

Jing Shu said the word "thoughtful" very clearly. Although her face was smiling at Zhang Chao, there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone.

Zhang Chao smiled awkwardly and replied: "If you have any negligence, please ask Madam-in-law to explain it."

Jing Shu still had a smile on her face: "General Zhang and his wife are very considerate, and there is no room for neglect."

As she said that, she cast her eyes on Cai Ling: "Besides, the general is so generous, I will give it away as soon as Mei Ji says so."

Zhang Chao's face turned red and he hesitated: "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand me."

Jing Shu snorted coldly: "It's a pity that my humble husband is not good at singing and dancing. It would be a waste of money to wait for Mei Ji to give it to him."

"General Zhang, it's better to keep it for yourself and enjoy it."

As she said that, she glanced at Cai Ling who was standing aside with her head bowed deeply, then turned to Li Ling and said, "Husband, please say goodbye to General Zhang properly. I'll go back and clean up first."

After saying that, Jingshu left a few people behind and walked slowly towards the house.

After returning to the house, she stood in front of the window and looked at the three of them. She saw that Zhang Chao sent Cai Ling away first, and then he and Li Ling stood chatting for a while before leaving.

Seeing Li Ling walking towards the house, Jingshu quickly moved away from the window and wandered around to pack her luggage.

Li Ling had a gloomy face after entering the house. He walked up to his wife and scolded her in a low voice: "What were you doing just now?"

Jing Shu raised her head and asked with an innocent face: "I just went out to say thank you to General Zhang. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Li Ling stared at his wife and scolded him in a cold voice: "I have really spoiled you rotten. You are so willful and rude, and you don't even know how to save face for me in front of outsiders."

Jingshu made a sound: "Then if I accept the concubine Zhang sent to the court on your behalf, will that be considered as saving your face?"

Li Ling lowered his voice and shouted: "Shut up!"

Seeing that he was angry, Jing Shu also worried that it would not be good to quarrel with him here, so she simply shut up, but her face looked neither salty nor bland.

Seeing his wife's attitude, Li Ling was so angry that he paced back and forth on the ground with his hands behind his back. He stood in front of his wife and couldn't help scolding him: "I'm warning you, when you see Zhang Chao when you leave later, please restrain yourself."

If you continue to be so presumptuous, I wonder how I will teach you a lesson later!"

Jingshu replied calmly: "It's not up to me. If he gives you a girl in front of me without caring about his face, I'd be polite to show off to him."

She rolled her eyes at Li Ling: "If he made me angry, I could even scold him in person."

"You -" Li Ling's face turned livid with anger, and he stared at his wife with gritted teeth: "Don't think that I am really reluctant to teach you a lesson. If you really dare to show up in front of outsiders and show no face to me, you won't be able to save face until the next chapter.

I will blame you."

"I won't show mercy!"

Jing Shu snorted coldly and said, "The prince is really amazing. He wants to beat his wife? Did he learn from your elder brother?"

Li Ling said harshly: "You are so coquettish and rude, shouldn't you be beaten?"

The two were having an argument here, and there was a knock on the door. It was Mrs. Ma's voice: "Mrs. Shen, are you there?"

Li Ling glanced outside and warned Jing Shu in a low voice, "You should restrain yourself."

Jing Shu snorted and rolled her eyes at him, stood up and walked towards the door: "I'm here."

With that said, she opened the door.

It was Zhang Chao and his wife Ma.

Zhang Chao stood in the corridor, and Mrs. Ma stood outside the door, holding two food boxes, and said with a smile: "I heard that General Li and his wife are leaving soon? It's so easy to come here, why don't we stay a few more days."

Jingshu smiled and nodded towards Mrs. Ma: "I'm in a hurry, and staying here for just one day has already caused trouble to the family."

The two of them walked into the house while exchanging pleasantries. Jingshu turned to look at Zhang Chao, who was still standing in the corridor, and asked in a nonchalant manner: "Why doesn't General Zhang come in?"

Li Ling was afraid that his little wife would do something that would not save him face in front of his brothers again. Before Zhang Chao could speak, Li Ling rushed to say, "You and Mrs. Ma can talk in the house while Brother Zhang and I go for a walk outside."
