The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 156 Li Ling shows face to Guo Cuiyan

Just as he was talking, Li Ling had already stepped into the room. Guo Cuiyan saw Li Ling. She stood up from her chair with a gentle smile on her face and said to Li Ling: "Second cousin, I'm on duty."

Li Ling only nodded slightly as a response to her, and then went to the inner room by himself.

Jingshu originally thought that Guo Cuiyan was leaving when Li Ling came back, but she didn't expect that she saw Li Ling enter the inner room and sat down on the chair again. She picked up the tea cup again, took a sip and said to Jingshu: "Second cousin sister-in-law."

This tea is good."

Jingshu was also speechless towards this cousin girl, but the visitor was a guest. Although she didn't like her socializing with her, she couldn't show it on her face, so she smiled and replied: "If your cousin likes it, I'll wait for you."

I'll bring some for you and leave it for you to drink when you go back."

Guo Cuiyan did not refuse, and said gratefully: "In this case, I won't be polite to my cousin. Thank you first."

She looked at Jingshu and said warmly: "I don't know why, ever since I moved into the Duke's Mansion in this town, I felt very friendly when I met my cousin-in-law. I don't have any sisters in my family. My sister-in-law is modest and kind.

When I met my sister-in-law, she seemed like my sister."

Jing Shu listened to her compliments and sneered in her heart, but her face remained as usual and she replied calmly: "Thanks to my cousin's liking, if you have time, you can come here and sit here often."

Guo Cuiyan smiled innocently: "Then I won't be polite. It's just that I come back more often, sister-in-law, please don't find me annoying."

Jing Shu was patiently dealing with Guo Cuiyan here, and Li Ling opened the door and strode out from the inside. He looked at Jing Shu with a cold face and said: "Just order them to prepare the food. I have nothing to do after dinner."

.”

When Guo Cuiyan saw this, she stood up and said to Jing Shu: "I won't disturb my cousin, so I'll take my leave now."

Jingshu said a few more polite words to her, and ordered Danzhu to pack her a bag of tea leaves.

Guo Cuiyan ordered Chunhong to take the tea, and after thanking Jingshu politely, she smiled and said to Li Ling: "I have been in this mansion for a few days, and I often hear people praise Biao Sou for being kind and kind. After having interacted with her so many times,

I just feel that she is not as good as one-tenth of what I am praised by outsiders. My cousin is so lucky to be able to marry such a good wife."

She had an extremely warm smile on her face, and her tone of voice when speaking to Li Ling was also very gentle. However, Li Ling had a cold face and even gave him a perfunctory expression.

After Guo Cuiyan said these words to Li Ling in a pleasant manner, Li Ling did not respond. She stood dryly on the spot, looking very embarrassed.

How could Jingshu not see the tricks in Guo Cuiyan's mind? She smiled and said: "I am just a person who treats me well when others treat me well, so I just treat them wholeheartedly. How can I be as good as my cousin praises me?"

As she said that, she made a "please" gesture toward Guo Cuiyan: "Cousin, walk slowly. Come and sit here often when you have time."

After Guo Cuiyan left, Li Ling said to Jing Shu: "If you don't like her, why did you let her come to us?"

She doesn't like her return, but she is the mistress of the house, how can she not even care about her dignity.

Jing Shu smiled and asked Li Ling, "How do you know I don't like her?"

Li Ling pulled his wife over and replied: "When we came back last night, I saw you frowning slightly when you looked at her, and I realized that you didn't like this person."

Jing Shu smiled and joked: "It's rare for the prince to care so much about my every move. Have you noticed even such a subtle movement?"

Li Ling frowned slightly: "Why do I sound so awkward when you call me 'Sir'?"

He gave her an angry look: "Don't call me that again in the future."

Jingshu replied: "I obey your command, Your Majesty."

Li Ling pulled her into his arms, stretched out his hand to tug her ears, and said with a smile: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? Did you mean to make me jealous?"

But when Guo Cuiyan left Qingfeng Garden, her smiling face suddenly dropped. The eldest son of the Li family actually didn't give her face like this. How could she, a girl who had not left the palace, be able to stand up to her?

Besides, she had ulterior motives, and when she saw people being so cold and cold-faced, she almost kicked them out, which made Guo Cuiyan feel even more unhappy.

Chunhong glanced at her girl's ugly face and couldn't help but muttered: "This prince is really a rude person. Miss, you are a guest after all, but he actually disrespects you."

Seeing Guo Cuiyan's silence, Chunhong said angrily: "I think this master is really not a good master to get along with. I am better, he is more kind and approachable. As a slave, we are still more like the master."

The right way is to work hard."

Guo Cuiyan said dullly: "You are right. My eldest cousin is indeed more manipulative, but he is also a master who likes the new and hates the old. Just watch him treat that charming girl."

Seeing that her master finally spoke, Chunhong replied: "Isn't it just glory and wealth that you seek? No matter what he does, as long as he can live this splendid and wealthy life, you still want those illusory things like personal love and love."

Do you really take it to heart?"

This sentence really spoke to Guo Cuiyan's heart. The Guo family has long been in decline, and now it is just an empty frame. She has no biological mother, and the step-in-law adopted by her father is also fierce and greedy. She is eager to squeeze a few taels out of her.

What about oil and water?

If she doesn't make long-term plans for herself, her whole life will be ruined.

If she could marry into the splendid Zhenguo Duke's mansion and become a serious mistress, wouldn't she rise through the ranks and become a master all of a sudden?

No matter which man he belongs to, as long as he is the master of the Duke's Mansion in this town, if she, Guo Cuiyan, can tie up one of them, she will make a lot of money.

Guo Cuiyan thought about it in her mind and took Chunhong to the courtyard where she was staying. Before she even stepped into the courtyard, the grandma from Songlet Hall came over happily.

"Girl, my wife wants you to go to Songlet Hall for dinner tonight."

Guo Cuiyan is a good talker, and Guo is a person who likes to be flattered by others. Therefore, since Guo Cuiyan defected to the Guo family, she has won the favor of the Guo family, and every now and then, the Guo family would let her have dinner at Songle Hall.

It's just that Guo Cuiyan just had a bad encounter in Qingfeng Garden, and now that she is upset, she doesn't have the energy to coax Mrs. Guo.

Guo Cuiyan said calmly to the mother-in-law: "I still have something to do in the house. Please tell my aunt, I won't be able to go there today."

The mother-in-law had Guo's life, and she couldn't invite anyone to deal with her, so she insisted: "If there is any serious matter, girl, it's the same thing after dinner. My uncle is off duty early today, and my wife invites you to come over."

After dinner, a large table of dishes has been prepared in the small kitchen. My wife is waiting for you, so you’d better go over there.”

As soon as he heard that Mr. Guo also invited Li Xian, Guo Cuiyan's mind became active. He replied: "Since it is my aunt's wish, I can't go against it. I will go back and change my clothes first."
