The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 239 Persuasion

After the first month, Li Ling began to prepare more intensively for the Southern Expedition. After all, Li Yu followed the persuasion of his family and went to the official school. Li Xiang went to the imperial court every day conscientiously as usual, even though he had already set a wedding date.

, but it’s no different from before.

As for Li Xian, his health has almost recovered, but he still can't accept such a disparity that he suddenly fell from a cabinet minister to a third-rank minister of the Ministry of Industry. In March, the old lady's eldest brother Jiangdong Murong Wang will be over sixty.

On her birthday, the old lady asked Li Xian to take a trip to Jiangdong.

Firstly, the other men in the Li family were busy and could not get away. Secondly, since Li Xian was seriously ill, the old lady also wanted her grandson to take this opportunity to travel far away to relax his mind.

Everyone in the mansion naturally had no objections after hearing the old lady's arrangement. Only Jingshu suggested: "It's my uncle's sixtieth birthday. It would be a bit weak for the eldest brother to go there alone. It's better for the eldest sister-in-law to go with him."

Now, although Xu Wanning still cares about Li Xian, it has improved, and the relationship between the husband and wife is not as cold as before. Doesn’t the old lady know that the granddaughter-in-law’s suggestion is for the sake of the eldest grandson-daughter-in-law?

The elderly are naturally happy to see their children and grandchildren living in harmony.

The old lady listened to her granddaughter-in-law's words and said with a smile: "I originally planned to let Wanning go with brother Xian, but it's just that the wedding arrangements here are complicated. If Wanning was not in the house, all these affairs would be complicated.

Will everything fall on Shu'er?"

It is not easy for a family as prominent as Zhenguo Gongfu to manage a marriage.

Jing Shu replied: "My sister-in-law and I have already discussed the important things at the moment. Everything will be done as planned. Brother and the others will be back in May at the latest. I can help me take care of the rest when my sister-in-law comes back."

Not too late."

The old lady listened to her granddaughter-in-law's words and nodded in agreement.

Li Xianxian wanted to win back his wife. Seeing the old lady and Jingshu's proposal, he was filled with joy and looked at Xu Wanning expectantly. What he got was Xu Wanning's cold eyes.

Xu Wanning was a lively person, so she naturally yearned for a trip to the beautiful Jiangnan, but the thought of traveling with Li Xian made her feel knotted in her heart.

No matter how free and easy Xu Wanning is, the harm Li Xian caused her in the past cannot be forgotten.

As the saying goes, a broken mirror cannot be reunited. Once there is a heart-wrenching rift between a husband and wife, it is not easy to go back to the way they used to be.

"I won't go with him." Xu Wanning refused.

"The third brother's wedding is in the autumn, and there are so many things to prepare for it. Everything in the house is enough for my brothers and sisters to worry about. If I leave, it will be too hard for my brothers and sisters to handle all the affairs alone. Besides, brother

My sons and daughters are still young, so it would be inconvenient to take them on the road, and if I don’t take them with me, they can’t live without me.”

When Li Xian saw his wife's refusal, his originally bright eyes immediately dimmed. The old lady also started chatting.

Jing Shu did not give up, she advised: "Sister-in-law, just don't worry about the affairs in the house. Without your help this time, it may be a good opportunity for me to gain experience. As for my brothers and sisters, I will help you take care of them."

Just leave it."

After listening to Jing Shu's words, Li Xian became hopeful again and immediately agreed: "Brothers and sisters all like to be close to their younger siblings, so this is a good idea."

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at Li Xian: "You know how to ask for help, but you don't know how hard it is to take care of children."

Jing Shu continued: "I have a wet nurse to take care of me every day. I just need to keep an eye on it. How can I be so hard?" She patted Xu Wanning and persuaded: "Jiangnan is picturesque, don't you want to

Come along and have a look."

Xu Wanning loves liveliness, and after hearing these words, her mind became a little more active.

The third girl on the side took the opportunity to persuade her: "Yes, sister-in-law, there is a second sister-in-law at home to help you take care of the children. What a great opportunity, just go with me."

Xu Wanning glared at the third girl: "I'm worried that I'll be bored on the road, and you have nothing to do at home, so why don't you go along too."

When the third girl heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was about to agree, when she caught a glimpse of Jing Shu's eyes towards her. Then she suppressed the burning fire in her heart, stuck out her tongue at Xu Wanning and said, "Who said

I have nothing to do, so I have to help my second sister-in-law arrange the wedding arrangements for the three of them at home?"

Li Xiang, who had been sitting silently drinking tea, heard his sister's words and was so happy that he almost spit out the tea in his mouth. He scolded the third girl and joked: "Just you? Oh, don't bother the second sister-in-law to cause trouble.

Even Amitabha."

The third girl's face turned slightly red due to Li Xiang's rebuke. She pouted and glared at Li Xiang and replied, "Everyone is worrying about your marriage, but you are good. You act like you have nothing to do all day long, and you are not anxious at all."

Murong Lizhu, who was sitting next to the old lady, said to the old lady with a smile: "Uncle often talks to us juniors about our relatives in the capital. Sister-in-law, just follow your cousin. I don't know how many of you I have when uncle sees you."

happy."

Before Xu Wanning could speak again, the old lady waved her hand: "Okay, since you are all willing, the matter is settled. Let Wanning go with Brother Xian to Jiangdong to celebrate your uncle's birthday."

Everyone agreed, but Xu Wanning expressed her unwillingness with a stern face.

Murong Lizhu had been in the house for some time, and she had heard about Li Xian and his wife through rumors, but she pretended not to know about it, thinking that Xu Wanning was reluctant to go out because she couldn't bear to leave her family. She smiled to comfort Xu Wanning

Said: "At home, I also helped my sisters-in-law to cook for the family.

If the second sister-in-law is too busy with the marriage of the children, I can help. I have nothing to do every day, and I can also help take care of the daily life of the brothers and sisters. So the elder sister-in-law can help

There’s no need to let go of everything in the house, just go out with your eldest cousin.”

After hearing Murong Lizhu's decent words, Jing Shu said to Xu Wanning: "Look, I don't lack help here, so just go ahead and go."

Xu Wanning smiled and joked to Jingshu: "I'm really afraid that if you have a new helper, you will no longer look down on my old partner."

Jing Shu scolded Xu Wanning and said, "That's not possible, I am a nostalgic person."

Murong Lizhu also joined in and said, "Don't worry, cousin, I won't steal your love with a sword."

The third girl looked at this and that, confused: "What are you talking about?"

There was excitement on Li Xianjun's face, and he displayed the jade bone fan in his hand: "That's it, it's settled, my wife and I will go to Jiangdong next month."

Xu Wanning immediately turned her head and rolled her eyes at Li Xian, and said harshly: "Whoever comes with you, you can go your way, and I'll go mine."
