The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 14 Etiquette and reason cannot be abolished

Jingshu took the third girl back to the Zhenguo Palace. As soon as she got off the carriage, a messenger in Anxi Hall rushed over and said to the two of them with a smile: "As the old lady said, let the second lady and the third lady

Go directly to Anxi Hall for dinner."

Before Jingshu could respond, the third girl said: "Second sister-in-law and I are tired after shopping all day. You go back to your grandmother, and you won't be able to make it today."

Mammy said with a smile: "The old lady said that it has been a while since I have gathered with the juniors for fun. Taking advantage of the fact that the eldest son took a bath today and the fourth master returned from his study tour, he called all the grandchildren from each room to Anxi Hall.

, they say we want to get together, if Third Miss is tired, why don’t you go back to wash up and rest for a while, then go back and inform the old lady that Third Miss will come over later.”

The third girl replied: "Okay, I'll go back first and go back later." After that, she looked at Jingshu: "Second sister-in-law, you are tired too, so go back and rest for a while before going over.

"

Jingshu asked her mother, "Has the prince returned?"

"As for Madam Prince, the Prince will return home later in the afternoon and is currently with the old lady."

"Has everyone else gone?" Jingshu asked again.

"As far as Madam Shizi is concerned, only the fourth master has not arrived yet."

Jingshu said: "I'm not tired, so let's go with grandma first." After that, she ordered Ziyun and other maids beside her: "You and the third girl will take the things you bought today to the girl's house first.

Go inside."

Several maids agreed, got in the car to get their things, and followed the third girl towards Lanyaxuan where she lived.

When Jingshu followed her grandma to Anxi Hall, as expected, except for the fourth master and the third girl, all the grandchildren of the two families were present, and the whole family was talking and laughing around the old lady.

Jingshu curtsied to the old lady and said hello. The old lady asked her to sit down and asked the grandma: "Why didn't the three girls come together?"

Mammy replied: "To return to the old lady, the third girl is a little tired from shopping today. She will go back to wash up and rest for a while and then come over."

Only then did the old lady remember that Jingshu and the third girl went out to make clothes today, and turned to Jingshu and said: "Shu'er has been shopping with the three girls for most of the day. It's been a hard work. Why don't you go back and rest first?"

Come back later, today I am calling you juniors, no need to be polite."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Thank you, grandma, for your care. The third sister is young and can't stand the torment. How can I get tired easily now that I am someone else's daughter-in-law? It's because grandma loves me so much."

Fourth Master, the third girl is the grandson of the old lady, after all, so it is okay to indulge once in a while. However, no matter how lenient the old lady is, she is a daughter-in-law and a bride after all, so naturally she cannot relax her etiquette.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in this high sect, etiquette and reason cannot be discarded.

The old lady nodded secretly, recognizing her granddaughter-in-law even more in her heart.

The second master, Li Xian, has been on a business trip these days. Xu Wanning is sitting directly under the old lady. She has a cheerful temperament and is even more active today. Her witty remarks are like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, which makes the old lady burst into laughter.

The perverted mother-in-law was sent to the family temple, and her young son returned to her side, which was a double happiness.

Xu Wanning was so happy that she almost beat the gongs and drums.

When it was time to start the banquet, the third girl and the fourth master had not arrived yet, so the old lady ordered everyone to go to the banquet hall to wait for them.

As soon as everyone sat down in the banquet hall, the third girl rushed over. Before the old man could say anything, she said cheerfully: "Look, it's better to be lucky than to be early. Although I arrived late, I was just in time to start the banquet."

The old lady smiled and said: "You girl, do you still know that you are too late?" After saying that, she patted the chair beside her and said dotingly: "Why don't you come and sit here."

The third girl did not sit next to her grandmother as usual, but shouted to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, let's change seats."

The old lady scolded: "Your sister-in-law is already sitting down, okay. Change your position. Be obedient and come here quickly."

The third girl pouted and said coquettishly, "I want to sit next to the second sister-in-law."

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "I thought there was some kind of treasure embedded in the chair I was sitting on, and you came to snatch it. It turns out it was for your second sister-in-law, so let me give it to you." With that, Xu Wanning stood up and left the seat.

After she got the news that her mother-in-law had been sent to the family temple this morning, she was so happy that she couldn't wait to go to Qingfeng Garden to find Jingshu, the "strategist", to report the good news. Unexpectedly, Jingshu was not there. Now she finally caught the person, although she couldn't do it in front of everyone.

He told Jingshu about this happy event in person, but next to Jingshu, he bit his ear and muttered a few words, made a victory sign under the table, or made eye contact.

Now that the third girl had cut off her beard, Xu Wanning felt a little disappointed. When she stood up, she gave Jing Shu a look that said, "I have something to tell you later."

Jingshu secretly replied with a look of "I know everything."

Xu Wanning looked surprised and said, "How did you know?"

Jing Shu pursed her lips, indicating that she would talk about it later. Only then did Xu Wanning reluctantly leave.

Everyone sat down, the dishes were all served, and the fourth master was nowhere to be seen.

The third girl couldn't hold it any longer and said, "Why hasn't fourth brother come yet? Have you ordered someone to rush you?"

The messenger replied: "I've already gone to invite you. The Fourth Master said he'll be there in a moment."

The third girl said angrily: "Why is he so famous and makes everyone wait for him alone?"

This Fourth Master was the son of the Duke of Zhen Guo, and it was because of this concubine that the Duke of Zhen Guo and the eldest princess had a falling out.

It is said that this outer concubine is the daughter of one of the subordinates of Duke Zhen. This subordinate followed the Duke for many years, and later died on the battlefield, blocking the sword of the old Duke. Only this orphan girl was left, and she was entrusted to Duke Zhen to take care of her.

, the Duke of Zhen Guo raised the girl outside behind the eldest princess’s back, and gave birth to a son, the Fourth Master.

A few years later, the eldest princess accidentally learned of the existence of the mother and son. How could the proud and arrogant Fu Xi swallow such grievances?

Her blood spattered on the spot.

When the Duke of Zhen arrived after hearing the news, the woman was already dying. He only told the Duke to take good care of their child and then passed away.

After experiencing this, the Duke of Zhenguo and the eldest princess completely fell out.

Although there was no reconciliation, the originally loving couple also became enemies.

The eldest princess moved back to the princess mansion and rarely came back to the mansion.

The Duke of Zhen Guo then brought the son born from a foreign family back to the mansion, gave him a title, and became the fourth master of the Duke of Zhen Guo's mansion.

With all these grievances from the previous life, the young third girl naturally didn't want to see this fourth brother and had a bad look every time she saw him.

When the old lady saw the third girl complaining, she comforted her: "Your fourth brother has just returned from his study tour and has a lot to do. Let's just wait for him."

The third girl pouted and retorted: "Why does grandma always protect him?"

The old lady replied: "Grandma has always been fair to you, but you are brothers and sisters after all, and you should be harmonious. How can you complain about this?"

The third girl said "chee" and muttered unconvincedly: "Who is a brother and sister to this concubine? She doesn't deserve it."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the room immediately shut up, and the scene suddenly became cold. The old lady let out a long sigh and muttered to herself: "What an injustice!"

Li Ling opened his mouth and said coldly: "Jin'er, don't talk nonsense. Where did you learn to be so bitter at such a young age?"

The third girl has always been the most pampered by the old lady. Although she is usually very afraid of this always cold and solemn brother, with her grandmother present, she is naturally emboldened, so she said angrily: "He is a son of a concubine, how can he be more powerful than our direct sons?"

Is he noble? He still wants us to wait here for him."

"Shut up!" Li Ling shouted in a low voice.

The third girl glanced at her brother's stern gaze. Although she didn't want to admit it in front of everyone, she was really frightened and said in a low voice: "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"

Jing Shu was sitting between the two of them. When she saw the brother and sister making such a fuss, she took the third girl's sleeve and advised her, "Good girl, please stop saying such things. It's so easy for a family to get together, so why bother."

"As he spoke, he whispered in her ear: "Grandma will be sad if you make trouble again."

After hearing Jingshu's words, the third girl glanced at the old lady and then closed her mouth angrily.

Third Girl@Everyone: The second brother is too fierce, the second sister-in-law is better.

Jingshu@三Girl: You are discerning, my second sister-in-law has a lot of benefits, so just slowly get along with me.

Li Ling@Jingshu: First my grandmother, then my sister, all my relatives have been won over by you.

Jingshu@李灵:Look for the reason from yourself
