The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 200 His wife’s moment of weakness made him soften his heart

Li Ling rode his horse straight back to the mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Uncle Xiang, the chief steward, waiting for him at the door. When Li Ling returned, Uncle Xiang hurriedly came forward and said, "The prince has finally expected you to come back."

Li Ling knew that if something like this happened, his family would inevitably be frightened and worried. He got off his horse and replied, "Don't worry, Uncle Xiang. Nothing will happen."

When Uncle Xiang heard what Li Ling said, the worry on his face disappeared, and he muttered: "It's good to be safe. It's really the blessing of our ancestors."

Li Ling warned: "The old lady didn't know about this, right?"

The old grandmother is feeling better these days, and Li Ling is worried that the old lady will get angry again if she finds out about this.

Uncle Xiang replied: "Second Madam has given her life since she came back. Now everyone is hiding it from the old Madam. They don't dare to leak any news to her."

Li Ling nodded and handed the horse's rein to the boy beside him.

Uncle Xiang followed Li Ling and said, "Everyone is worried. They are all waiting for Xin'er in the front hall. Please go over quickly."

After listening to Uncle Xiang's words, Li Ling ran straight to the front yard and strode into the meeting hall. When he saw Li Ling coming in, the third girl was the first to come up to him. His little face was still full of worry and he asked: "But are you going to surrender?"

Sin?"

Li Ling comforted his sister and said, "No punishment."

After everyone heard this, they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

Li Ling walked up to his wife, looked at her deeply, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay. Don't be afraid."

Xu Wanning stroked her chest and said, "Who could have expected that such a disaster could happen? It's really scary."

Li Xian has improved now. He heard that such a disaster happened and he could still lie down, so he came here in a push chair.

He asked: "The Eighth Princess is the jewel in the Holy Emperor's hands, and when something like this happened, she didn't blame us?"

Li Ling replied: "There is indeed no blame."

Afraid that everyone would not believe it, he explained: "Although this incident happened in front of our family account, it was an accident. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did not blame you."

The family is already worried, especially his wife and sister, who are even more frightened. Now Li Ling just wants to make everyone feel at ease.

As for the fact that my wife was deprived of her royal title and my sister was about to receive a reward from the princess but also fell through, how can it be compared with the peace of the family?

After these things have settled down in a few days, everyone will be able to talk about it. Now, as the head of the family, his top priority is to appease his family.

Seeing Li Ling say this, everyone was really relieved.

Li Xiang said: "Fortunately, the saint has a distinguished name."

Although Li Yu rejected Li Ling's kindness and did not go hunting in the winter, he heard about it and came over today, but he just stood aside and said nothing.

Li Xian was still resentful after being expelled from the cabinet by His Majesty, and muttered in a low voice: "It is rare for this Majesty to be famous for his honor."

Xu Wanning, who was on the side, saw her husband uttering contradictory words and quickly handed over a knife. Li Xian immediately closed his mouth and sighed: "It's good to be safe. I don't want anything else."

Xu Wanning sighed and said: "It's great, we encountered such a disaster."

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and muttered: "This time the danger was saved, it was truly the blessing of our ancestors. If we go to the family temple to offer sacrifices this year, we should burn more paper money and offer more incense."

Jing Shu said: "Since nothing happens, everyone should go back and rest."

Everyone calmed down and left the meeting hall in twos and threes, heading towards their respective courtyards.

Li Ling saw that his wife had been depressed and knew that she was a smart person and could not be deceived by his few words. He kept holding her hand when walking back.

Firm strength came from Li Ling's big hand, dispelling the fear in Jing Shu's heart. She turned her head to look at Li Ling and gave him a warm smile in return.

It was windy and cold at night, so Li Ling took the opportunity to take off his cloak and let his wife wear it, but Jing Shu held him down and said angrily: "I'm not cold, so just keep it on."

Li Xian, who was being pushed by his grandma, saw that his younger brother and his wife were in love. He glanced at his wife who was walking aside, followed his brother's example and took off the mink velvet on his body, and handed it to his grandma behind him.

Mammy replied, unfolding the thick mink velvet and covering Xu Wanning's body.

Xu Wanning had not yet fully recovered from the shock of the day. She glanced at the mink velvet that her grandma had put on her face, and then glanced at Li Xian who was smiling at her ingratiatingly, and untied the mink velvet with a stern face.

Then he threw it to Li Xian again with a "hurrah", and still said something bad: "Don't show your courtesy to me for nothing."

Li Xian, who was sitting on the push chair, looked at his wife and said helplessly: "Aren't I afraid that you will be cold?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "With your body, you'd better dress yourself."

When Li Xian saw that his wife was unwilling to appreciate her kindness, he said angrily: "I really don't know good people's hearts."

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at him and retorted: "I don't believe you can have good intentions."

"How can I not be kind when I let you wear the mink velvet?"

"Hmph! You are so attentive to me for nothing, maybe you are holding something in your heart."

"I'm already like this, and you still don't want to believe me?"

"Hmph! I believe you."

The two of them bickered all the way back to Bitangju in Xiyuan. Xu Wanning went to Baoxia to see the children first, and Li Xian was pushed into the main room by his nanny.

Xu Wanning didn't come back until Mammy put Li Xian to bed.

Li Xian asked: "Have the children slept?"

Xu Wanning took off her cloak and replied, "They are all asleep."

With that said, he entered the bathroom and started washing up.

Li Xian leaned on the bed and looked at his wife who was walking out of the bathroom in a crimson coat, his eyes brightened.

In fact, Xu Wanning is also a beauty. When she first got married, Li Xian was also obsessed with her and asked for her every night in the bed. So Xu Wanning became pregnant with Brother Kun less than a year after she entered the house.

Shortly after giving birth to Kun'er, I became pregnant with my sister again.

Li Xiansheng was handsome, talented, and well-spoken and knew how to please women. In the first few years of their marriage, the two of them had been having a good time.

But as time went by, the contradiction between the two gradually became apparent. Xu Wanning was outspoken and hot-tempered, and she insisted on competing with Li Xian whenever they disagreed. Li Xian was also fresh after his wedding period.

, and gradually lost patience with his wife.

Later, the Holy Emperor rewarded him with a bewitching concubine. Li Xian was not sure, and the rift between him and his wife became deeper and deeper, which led to many foolish things he did later.

Does he really not love Xu Wanning? Ask yourself, when he proposed to divorce her, he saw Xu Wanning crying. His wife, who had always been strong, had only that moment of weakness, which shook his heart.

That day, they did not get married. Even though it was because of Jing Shu and Xu Wanning's natal brother-in-law, the main reason was that Li Xian finally softened his heart.

He looked at his wife and hesitated: "Madam, come here."
