The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 231 Too protective of my wife

As the New Year approaches, although the Zhenguogong Mansion has experienced many twists and turns this year, fortunately, all the difficulties have been turned into good fortune. After going through these difficulties and obstacles, everyone's mentality has grown.

In addition, Li Xiang had just arranged a marriage that everyone was satisfied with, so the whole family sat together at this year's reunion dinner, and they were also full of joy.

Li Xiang and Pingyang's wedding is scheduled for the next autumn. The Duke of Zhenguo is from an aristocratic family, Li Xiang is the legitimate son, and this marriage is a gift from the emperor. Li Xiang's marriage is naturally complicated and complicated, although there is still more than half a year to prepare.

, but everything needs to be arranged urgently.

After the marriage decree was issued, Concubine Lan specially invited the old lady to be a guest at Prince Yong's Mansion. The old lady was very satisfied with meeting Princess Pingyang.

At the family reunion banquet on New Year's Eve, the old man couldn't help but keep talking about his grandson's wedding: "Although Xiang'er's Xianglan Garden is very spacious, wouldn't it be inappropriate to continue living there after marriage?"

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Li Xiang said anxiously: "I'm used to living in that courtyard. Even after I get married, I don't want to move anywhere anymore."

After listening to his son's words, the Duke of Zhenguo said: "The yard is big enough. I think it will be enough to expand the garden at the back and renovate the main hall and side halls. If we build a new residence, the project will be huge.

It’s too late.”

When the old lady saw the father and son talking like this, she no longer insisted. She just changed the subject and told the two grandsons-in-law: "Wanning and Shu'er are going to have a hard time these days. There are so many things to prepare for the wedding. You guys

Let the two of you discuss it, and if you have any doubts about anything, feel free to ask me."

The two granddaughter-in-laws agreed at the same time.

After listening to the old lady's words, Li Ling quietly grabbed his wife's small hand under the table and said to the old lady: "Sister-in-law is neat and tidy, and she has also prepared a wedding for me.

Everything is naturally understood. Although Shu'er is young, she is serious, careful and methodical in her work. She has established prestige in the house in the past two years, and everything in the house is handled in an orderly manner.

, everyone in the family is not dissatisfied with her, and now she can prepare for the marriage of the third brother, naturally it will be easy for her, so don’t worry, grandma."

Li Ling was born with a cold face. Although his glacial face had softened to the greatest extent on such a joyful occasion, he still looked dignified and solemn.

Such a cold and solemn man, in such a happy occasion, sat there with a serious face and praised his wife in front of the whole family.

It looked and sounded indescribably inconsistent and awkward.

As soon as Li Ling said these words, the originally lively table suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Li Ling saw that everyone suddenly became unresponsive. He looked around and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why aren't everyone talking?"

Li Xiang quietly glanced at his brother and the helpless people. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he smiled and said, "It's rare to hear second brother praise someone like this."

The third girl next to Li Xiang then joked: "The second brother is obviously praising my two sisters-in-law, but he is obviously praising the second sister-in-law more. It sounds really weird."

Xu Wanning answered with a cheerful smile: "How can your second brother sincerely praise me? Didn't you see it? He wanted to praise his wife, but he couldn't say it directly, so he took me out as a foil.

"

After hearing this, Li Ling smiled and said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me. You worked so hard to prepare my wedding, but I will always remember it in my heart."

Xu Wanning ignored Li Ling's good sales. She just looked at her brother-in-law and sister-in-law with a smile and asked, "Tell me, have I wronged your second brother?"

Li Xiang has always been afraid of his elder brother. When he saw that he wanted to take sides, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be confused and refused to express his position.

The third girl saw that Li Xiang was unwilling to offend anyone, and she did not dare to offend her brother openly, so she just hesitated and said: "Well, it's not like the sister-in-law has wronged the second brother. Oh! I'm still young, and I sometimes don't care about your grown-ups' matters.

It’s hard to see clearly.”

Xu Wanning saw that her two brothers-in-law and sister-in-law were so spineless and had no position. She looked at Murong Lizhu who was sitting next to the old lady unwillingly: "Cousin, what do you think?"

Murong Lizhu smiled faintly and advised Xu Wanning: "For the sake of my second cousin's love for my cousin, my eldest cousin will let him go this time."

As soon as Murong Lizhu said these words, everyone laughed.

Xu Wanning also laughed, but her words were inhumane: "It is a good thing for your cousin to love his wife, but he is just using me as a foil."

Xu Wanning was halfway through her words, she glanced at Li Ling angrily and snorted: "Second brother, if you ask for anything from me in the future, I won't be able to answer your request."

Li Ling was picking up food for Jing Shu. When he heard this, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you have a lot. Do you really want to argue with me to the end?"

Xu Wanning glanced at the various dishes piled up like a hill on Jingshu's plate, and teased Li Ling: "Hey! Just take a look. Second brother, I'm not telling you, there are so many dishes, who can compete with your wife?"

Can’t make it?”

She pointed at the small plate filled with vegetables in front of Jingshu, and said with a smile: "Would you like someone to bring a big bowl? I think the small dishes in front of my siblings can't fit in."

Xu Wanning's words made everyone laugh again.

The third girl glanced at Li Ling, shook her head helplessly, and echoed with a somewhat old-fashioned tone: "My second brother is really protecting his wife to an outrageous degree. Someone should really take care of him."

.”

Li Ling glared at his sister: "Isn't it enough to have a sister-in-law to arrange things for me? Why are you coming along to join in the fun?"

Li Xian picked up his chopsticks and put a large piece of braised pork into his wife's bowl beside him. He smiled and said jokingly, "Eat quickly, you just love to offend others."

Xu Wanning picked up the braised pork and took a bite, chewing it slowly and swallowing it. She glanced at Li Ling, who remained calm even after being teased like this, smiled and looked at the old lady sitting at the top and said, "Grandma,

If my second brother is like this, you, the old man, won’t take care of me."

The old lady waved her hands with a smile and said: "You are so powerful that you can't control it, and I don't want to control it anymore. Forget it, just let him go."

After hearing this, Murong Lizhu, who was beside the old lady, had a gentle smile on her face and said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law has found the wrong helper. My aunt has always loved her grandson-in-law more than her grandson. She

The old man is eager to see his grandson protecting his wife, so how can he care about it?"

After hearing this, Xu Wanning looked at Murong Lizhu with a smile and said, "My cousin can understand."

The old lady looked at her niece and granddaughter beside her, smiled and said to Xu Wanning: "Your cousin has also reached the age of marriage. After finishing Xiang'er's marriage, your cousin should also pay attention to her."

Our New Year's Eve is also the New Year's Eve at the Zhenguo Palace. What a coincidence!

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone! I wish you all a happy family and good health!

Thank you for your continued support! In the new year, I will work harder to repay everyone’s love with good writing!
