The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 246 Husband Returns

Xu Wanning turned sideways and took Si'er's hand, and said: "After you return to the mansion, I will tell the second lady that I will entrust the children to her."

Xu Wanning made an explanation with her confidant maid and no longer had any worries in her heart. Just when she was determined to die, Murong Xuan hurried over and shouted excitedly: "Cousin, the great news is great.

My cousin has been found."

It was fitting that Li Xian was lucky. He fell into the cold water due to injuries and fainted. He was swept downstream by the river. He happened to be spotted by a passing fishing boat and rescued. He fell asleep for a few days at the fisherman's house.

On that day, after he woke up, he asked a fisherman to find him here and report the news.

Xu Wanning originally thought that Li Xian was definitely dead, but when she suddenly heard the good news, she was so surprised that she fainted without saying a word.

When Xu Wanning woke up leisurely, Li Xian's big face came into view.

"Are you awake? Have you been worried these past few days? I heard from Si'er that you have been worrying about me sleeplessly these past few days."

Li Xian was chattering here, and Xu Wanning sat up suddenly, punched Li Xian's arm, and said angrily: "I asked you to go back to the cabin and hide, but you didn't listen, and you just followed me to show off."

Li Xian hugged his wife and held her tightly in his arms.

Xu Wanning struggled twice, worried about the wound on his body, so she calmed down and let him hold her, but tears fell down.

——

Sure enough, a few days after Jingshu received Li Ling's family letter, the news that Li Ling had successfully recovered the five cities was rushed to Beijing.

The territory was recovered, and everyone in the Qi Dynasty, from the Emperor Ming to the princes, ministers and common people, were delighted.

People in Zhen Guogong's Mansion are afraid to go out these days, because every time pedestrians see the carriages and horses in Zhen Guogong's Mansion, they cheer, chase and intercept them, hang colorful ribbons on the cars and throw colored balls. It's so lively.

There has been an endless stream of distinguished guests coming and going in the house in the past few days, making Jingshu overwhelmed.

At the end of May, the army returned triumphantly to the capital. The servants sent by the Zhenguo Government to investigate quickly came back to report the news.

In the evening, the army marched thirty miles outside the city. Li Ling ordered the army to camp on the spot. He took several lieutenants and a group of personal guards back to the city to face the Holy Spirit.

After returning to the city, Li Ling did not go directly to the palace, but deliberately detoured to the door of his house.

From a distance, she saw the figure who had been thinking about it all day and night, standing at the door and looking around.

Li Ling turned over and dismounted, and the two looked at each other from a distance, with endless joy in their eyes after being reunited.

"Let's go to the palace first." Jingshu said first.

Li Ling led the horse and strode up to his wife, looking straight at her. In front of his subordinates, Jing Shu's cheeks turned red with embarrassment. She lowered her head and whispered: "You

Let’s go first.”

Li Ling curled his lips and nodded slightly towards her. His tall figure stood in front of her for a while. It wasn't until his wife cast an urging look at him again that he got on his horse.

As he rode his horse forward, Li Ling couldn't help but look back and look deeply at his wife.

Seeing her husband return, Jingshu's heart finally felt at ease.

"Miss, come back." Seeing that Li Ling had disappeared, Ziyun couldn't help but call out.

Jingshu's whole heart was immersed in Li Ling, and Ren Ziyun called her several times but could not hear her.

Ziyun glanced at her young lady's foolish look. She covered her mouth and snickered. She stepped forward and held the corner of Jingshu's clothes, jokingly saying: "My uncle has disappeared, what are you still looking at here? Come back soon.

Well, my uncle will be back soon, you can just go back to the house and wait with peace of mind."

Jing Shu finally calmed down. After hearing Ziyun's teasing, her cheeks turned slightly red with embarrassment. She added to herself: "I think the breeze in the hallway at the door is very cool, so I stand here longer."

A moment."

Ziyun saw that her young lady was being stubborn, so she had to go along and said, "Although the breeze is refreshing, it is easy to catch a cold if it blows for a long time. Let's go back."

When they returned to Qingfeng Garden, Danzhu had already served dinner. Jingshu was looking forward to Li Ling's appetite. She took a few mouthfuls and ordered the girls to leave.

It was still early, so Jing Shu sat at the table as usual and looked through today's account books, but couldn't find anything to take in. She simply dropped the account books, walked out of the house, and stood on the porch.

Jingshu looked up at the setting sun that had set the lower half of her face, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Ziyun looked at his young lady who was so anxious that she could not sit or lie down. She smiled in her heart, but she suppressed it and said on her face: "I'm afraid it will take a while for my uncle to come back to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. Why don't I serve you and take a bath first?"

"

After Jingshu heard this, she glanced at the setting sun. She didn't know whether it was reflected by the setting sun or for other reasons. Her little face became even scarier, and she muttered to herself: "It's not dark yet.

, it’s neither early nor late, why do you need to take a bath?”

Ziyun suppressed a smile and said, "I'll prepare some water first, then."

Just as Ziyun was about to turn around, Jingshu hurriedly ordered: "Remember to put more fragrant dew."

Ziyun couldn't bear it any longer and burst out laughing. Jingshu stepped forward and pushed her, yelling: "Little hoof, why are you laughing at me?"

Ziyun quickly apologized: "Miss, this slave is not laughing at you." As he said this, Ziyun simply stopped holding back and started laughing loudly.

After Ziyun served Jingshu to take a bath, Jingshu sat in front of the rhombus mirror and let Ziyun comb her long hair carefully with a horn comb.

While Ziyun was doing Jingshu's hair, she couldn't help but praise: "Miss, this black hair is so smooth. Now after taking a bath with osmanthus water, the sweet fragrance is even more refreshing."

Ziyun was praising Jingshu here endlessly, but at this moment, Jingshu had no intention of talking to her about hair. She sat in a dull mood, glanced sideways from time to time, and couldn't help but complain.

: "It's already this hour, why hasn't my husband come back yet?"

"It's almost here. Please be patient and wait for a while." Ziyun patiently advised him again and again.

Jingshu felt scratchy in her heart, so she simply stood up and said, "I want to take a look at the door."

Ziyun quickly pressed her down: "My eldest lady, you have just taken a bath, why do you need to go out and wait patiently for a while."

"My husband is back!" As soon as Ziyun finished speaking, Jingshu ran out like a light deer.

Ziyun was left standing there with a confused look on his face.

Just as Li Ling was about to reach out and push open the door of Qingfeng Garden, the door was violently pushed open from inside, and then, his soft-smelling soft jade wife threw herself into his arms.

Li Ling picked up his wife by the waist, leaned over and kissed her lips as he walked, and strode into the house.
