The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 184 Li Ling despises shameless women the most

These days, Li Ling always tries his best to come back as early as possible to accompany his wife.

The camp of the City Patrol Division was outside the city. On that day, he and Liang were walking halfway when they saw a carriage parked on the roadside. Seeing the two people passing by, the coachman quickly stepped forward and begged: "I am the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhou Jia."

The driver of the car was driving to take the young lady to the temple to offer incense today. I never thought of returning and the car broke down halfway through the journey. It is going to be dark now. Can you two gentlemen help me?"

Li Ling of the Zhou family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also familiar with him. The eldest son of his family was about the same age as Li Ling. They were both children of powerful people in the capital. They had studied together in the official school. Although they were not serious classmates, they had some contacts.

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, a woman in the car opened the door and said to Li Ling with a smile: "It turns out to be the eldest son of the Li family. My car broke down when I came back from offering incense and I can't get back to the city. I'm worried right now."

The woman who spoke was none other than Zhou Qing, the young lady from the Minister of Industry's family who had been thinking about Li Ling so much that the Zhou family asked someone to propose marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo.

Li Ling glanced at Zhou Qing and felt that he looked familiar. He replied: "Miss Zhou, don't be anxious. I will just ask someone to tell me when I return to the city."

With that said, Li Ling was about to hit his horse and leave.

Seeing that Li Ling was about to leave, Zhou Qing hurriedly got out of the car. She gave a slight salute to Li Ling. This time, she even became more intimate with his title. She looked at Li Ling's old actions and said, "Brother Li, it's going to be dark now."

, I only have the coachman and a maid with me. When you tell the family, it will take them an hour or two to get here. I am a woman outside the city, and I am really scared."

Li Ling asked: "What should we do?"

Zhou Qing twisted her handkerchief, lowered her head, and hesitated: "Brother Li, can you order your lieutenant to go back to the city and tell my family about this?"

She glanced at Li Ling and said shyly: "I'm really afraid of meeting bad people here alone. Could you please trouble Brother Li to stay here for a while and wait until my family sends someone over before you leave?"

Let him stay with her here?

Don't forget that Li Ling has a straightforward temper and is not good at pleasing women, but he is an extremely shrewd man.

As soon as Zhou Qing's words came out of his mouth, Li Ling came back to his senses and remembered that a few years ago, it seemed that Zhou Shilang's house had asked someone to come to the house to propose marriage to his grandmother. The matchmaker seemed to have proposed to him this Zhou Qing.

Grandma even asked him face to face what he meant, but at that time he already had his own heart and couldn't care less about others.

Now that he has married his sweetheart as he wished, he is even less interested in other women.

Li Ling glanced at Zhou Qing's coy look and felt disgusted in his heart. He hated such shameless and scheming women the most.

Li Ling replied to Zhou Qing with a cold face: "I have to rush back home to accompany my wife, so I can't accompany you here."

With that said, without waiting for Zhou Qing to say another word, he hit his horse and left.

In a moment, the man disappeared from sight, leaving Zhou Qing alone and messy in the billowing dust.

Zhou Qing had planned this scene of a chance encounter with a hero to help a beauty for a long time.

Thinking about it, didn't the Shen daughter get entangled with Li Ling because she fell into the water and was rescued by him? How could it be her, but Li Ling didn't appreciate it.

Zhou Qing was so angry that her eyes were red.

Her maid Zhen'er hurriedly came over, helped her get into the car, and said angrily: "This heir apparent of the Li family is really an inhumane person. He actually talks so coldly to you. It's really disgusting."

Zhou Qing tried her tears and murmured: "He was so intoxicated by the Shen family daughter, hum! Who among the noble ladies in the capital nowadays doesn't know that the Shen family daughter is a hen that can't lay eggs?"

, I don’t believe that the eldest son of the Li family can always be devoted to her."

Zhen'er advised: "Miss, you are talented and beautiful, and your family background is good, why do you need to hang on a tree like the heir apparent of the Li family?"

Zhou Qing sniffed and murmured back: "Then the eldest son of the Li family has already married. Don't I know that this road is full of difficulties, but I really can't look down on others anymore. Who else in the world

How can I compare to him? Nowadays, matchmakers come to my door every day, and my parents are urging me to do it. But if I can't marry him, I might as well cut my hair and become a sister-in-law."

She covered her face and cried: "I don't want to marry anyone but him!"

Li Ling rushed back to the city, dismissed Liang Jin, walked around to the street, and got into a jewelry store.

After a while, he came out with a bag of women's accessories.

It is not unusual for a man to choose jewelry for his wife, but for a grown man like Li Ling, it is really embarrassing for him to go into a place where women come to choose jewelry.

He walked out of the jewelry building, subconsciously looked around and saw no one he knew, and felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to get on his horse, a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Is it Bojo?"

Li Ling turned around sharply and saw Cai Lun, with his wife calling him from behind.

Li Ling showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said, "It turns out to be Brother Cai. What a coincidence."

Cai Lun smiled and said: "I accompanied my wife to choose jewelry. I just saw the personal image of you on the second floor, so I hurried down. I didn't expect it was really you."

Li Ling subconsciously tucked the jewelry bag in his hand into his sleeve pocket.

Cai Lun asked: "Are you also here to choose jewelry for my wife? Why are you leaving in a hurry, but you have already chosen it? The jewelry on the second floor of Jade Jade Building is of the highest quality. Why didn't you go up and choose it?"

Li Ling smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily: "I just helped Madam pick up some things on the way. I have already chosen them."

After saying that, he cupped his fists slightly towards Cai Lun and his wife and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Li Ling hurried back to his house, entered Qingfeng Garden, and gave the jewelry he chose for Jing Shu to her like a treasure.

"Open it and take a look. This is the silk flower I chose for you at Cuiyu Tower."

The sun was really shining in the west. Jingshu couldn't believe that her grown-up husband would go to the jewelry store in person.

He asked in surprise: "Did you buy it for me yourself?"

Li Ling smiled and replied: "Of course."

With that said, he couldn't wait to open the jewelry bag for his wife.

When she saw those colorful silk flowers, the smile on Jingshu's face froze.

A bag of silk flowers are all in bright colors, bright red, deep purple, rose pink, golden and silver.

One flower is bigger than the other, and one flower is as gorgeous as the other.

Looking at these exaggerated silk flowers, Jingshu couldn't help but think of those matchmakers who walked around from house to house all day long, waving their handkerchiefs around.

"You don't like it?" Li Ling asked, holding the silk flowers and looking at his wife.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling, then looked at the gaudy silk flowers. She twitched her lips and said, "This is the first time you gave me jewelry that you personally selected. Of course I like it, but you chose it for me."

There are so many silk flowers, how can I wear them?"

Li Ling said cheerfully: "As long as you like them, you can just wear them differently every day."

As he said that, Li Ling picked up the largest red peony silk flower, looked at his wife lovingly and said, "Come, I will also learn from other people's elegance and decorate the hairpin for Madam myself."

This straight man was working so hard to change her. Although Jingshu was unwilling to wear that tacky silk flower, she still couldn't bear to pour cold water on him.

Jing Shu lowered her head slightly, smiled and encouraged him: "My husband is really becoming more and more considerate."
