The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 221 Always afraid that my wife will be bullied

After the Zhao family left, Xu Wanning asked Jingshu: "Do you think the Zhao family is a little shaken?"

Jing Shu said: "They are short-sighted. They just saw that the uncle has lost power now and we have offended Concubine Meng. That's why they made such a fuss. Don't worry, as long as we insist on getting back the dowry, they will be destroyed."

This is what I have in mind."

Xu Wanning said angrily: "To have such a shady in-law in the stall is really bad luck for eight lifetimes."

Jing Shu told Xu Wanning: "If they come to pick up the second girl, don't let the second girl go back so easily. Let them make a few more trips. Even if they go back, you have to bring a few things to help the second girl."

The second girl is a soft persimmon. If the people around her can't toughen up, they will be bullied by them."

Xu Wanning sighed: "If we didn't have those two young daughters, it would be a good thing for a family like this to get divorced. Even if we go to the family temple and live with the dowry, it would be better than being angry at his family."

The two of them walked out of the meeting hall and looked up to see Li Ling standing in the corridor.

When Xu Wanning met Li Ling, she smiled and joked: "Second brother, you just got off duty, right? You can't wait any longer without seeing your wife for a while?"

Li Ling looked at his wife gently, then smiled at Xu Wanning and replied, "I heard that the Zhao family came to stir up trouble. I was worried that you two wouldn't be able to handle that troublesome family, so I came here to take a look."

Xu Wanning glanced at Jingshu, and then said to Li Ling: "Don't worry, second brother, although the Zhao family is messy and troublesome, you are also a very powerful daughter-in-law. Just a few times back and forth, they were sorted out."

Jingshu glared at Xu Wannaning: "Don't talk nonsense. It's obvious that the Zhao family is afraid of the elder sister-in-law."

Xu Wanning smiled and joked: "I didn't slap that bastard Zhao Ying today. I didn't even use such a powerful skill."

Jing Shu echoed: "If you come here with a sword today, we won't have to talk nonsense to them."

Li Ling smiled and pulled his wife over, and said to Xu Wanning: "Shu'er has a weak temper. If any female family member bullies her, sister-in-law, you have to give her more support."

Xu Wanning looked at Li Ling's serious look and readily agreed: "You are good at protecting your wife. Don't worry, second brother. If anyone dares to bully my younger brother and sister without good reason, I will fight with my sword."

Jing Shu rolled her eyes at the two of them: "With you two protecting me, who would dare to mess with me if I don't care about life and death?"

With that said, Jingshu urged the two of them: "Let's go quickly. It's getting late. Today is the winter solstice. We have to have a reunion dinner in front. Let's go and wait for grandma in front."

Xu Wanning declined with a smile: "I won't go with you two, so as not to affect your young couple's ability to talk about themselves."

Li Ling said bluntly: "When did my sister-in-law learn to be so disrespectful? Let's go and go together."

Xu Wanning smiled awkwardly after hearing Li Ling's words.

Jing Shu gave Li Ling an angry look. Seeing his dumbfounded look, she simply pulled him away and turned back to Xu Wanning and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go over first. You should hurry up."

After walking out, Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling, who was still confused, and said angrily: "I wonder when you can stop being so straight. My sister-in-law wants to go back and follow her brother, but you are so indifferent."

Li Ling suddenly realized and replied unconvinced: "Then let's just talk about it directly. When did a person as straightforward as my sister-in-law become so coy?"

Jing Shu knew that Li Ling wouldn't understand even if he explained it, so she just didn't bother to waste any more words.

When Li Ling saw that his wife was dull and silent, he glanced at her face and said, "You have made a lot of progress."

Jing Shu raised her eyebrows slightly and gave him a puzzled expression.

Li Ling cleared his throat and said: "When you were dealing with the Zhao family just now, I was watching from outside the hall. I didn't expect that my wife has only been in charge of the family for two years, but she has the air of a mistress."

After saying that, Li Ling patted Jingshu on the shoulder: "I was always worried that you would be bullied by others, but now that I see how powerful my wife is, I am relieved."

Jing Shu glared at Li Ling and replied, "Don't always ask others to protect me. I'm not a three-year-old child, so I can easily be bullied by others."

In the eyes of a grown man like Li Ling, his little wife is a soft-hearted and kind-hearted person who is easily bullied. My wife is not from a high family background, and now everyone knows that she cannot have children. If she is not safe, someone will bully her.

Li Ling was originally a very protective male. He was afraid that his little wife would be wronged by others if he was negligent. Now he wanted to hold his wife in his mouth to feel at ease.

He held his wife's hand tightly and said uneasily: "If someone really dares to bully you, no matter who it is, you don't have to hold back and give in. You have to let the other person know how powerful he is."

He stared at his wife with his deep eyes and said, "If you can't do it yourself, just come and tell me."

Jing Shu smiled and said: "I usually deal with noble ladies. These are the people who deliberately bully me. Why, you, a dignified general, still want to argue with these women?"

Li Ling replied: "Of course I won't argue with women personally, but I can go to my sister-in-law. If anyone bullies you, I will ask my sister-in-law to beat her up and see if she can teach her a lesson."

Jing Shu glanced at the childish Li Ling and said with a smile: "I can't go to my sister-in-law myself? Do I need you to go?"

The two of them chatted and laughed all the way to the banquet hall.

It was still early, and no one had come over yet. Jingshu was busy dealing with the Zhao family's affairs in the afternoon, so she didn't have time to come over, so she just asked the mother-in-law who was serving the banquet, "Are everything ready?"

The mother-in-law smiled and replied: "Madam, everything is ready."

With that said, he handed the recipe to Jingshu.

Jingshu took the recipe and read it over. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with it, she didn't say anything more.

After a while, Xu Wanning pushed Li Xian over.

The third girl also came with her. When she saw Jingshu, she complained: "How come my second sister-in-law is here so early? I even went to your yard to look for you, but unexpectedly I was in vain."

Before Jing Shu could speak, Xu Wanning replied: "You are such a big girl, pestering your second sister-in-law all day long. I think what will you do when you get married in the future? Do you want to take your second sister-in-law with you?"

"

The third girl stuck out her tongue playfully: "If you get married, I'll just come back during the day and go back at night."

A few people were chatting and joking here, and the Duke of Zhen arrived, supporting the old lady, followed by Murong Lizhu.

After the congratulations, Murong Zhengde returned to Jiangdong with his nephews and nieces, leaving only Murong Lizhu behind.

Although Murong Lizhu was born into the famous Murong family, she had no father or mother, and people in Jiangdong aristocratic circles said she had a tough life.

Her situation was that it was difficult to find a suitable husband's family because of her high level and low level. Therefore, King Murong ordered his younger brother to leave his niece in the capital, hoping that the old lady would find a suitable family for Murong Lizhu in the capital.
