The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 271 Li Ling is having trouble

After bidding farewell to Jiang Youchen, Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling, who was still sitting in the car with a sullen face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "What do you think a grown man like you would care about with a woman like Eminem? If outsiders see it,

, Aren’t you laughing at your petty nature?”

Li Ling looked at his wife and asked, "Did you like being with Ah Chen so much when you were a child?"

Seeing that Li Ling's jealousy hadn't passed yet, Jing Shu said angrily, "We were both young at that time and grew up with my aunt. Isn't it normal to spend more time together?"

Li Ling's thin lips moved, but without saying a word, he turned his head slightly.

Jing Shu came up to him, glanced at his gloomy and aggrieved face, and asked slightly teasingly: "Are you angry?"

Seeing that Li Ling still refused to agree, Jing Shu held his sleeve and said, "Are you really ignoring me just because of this?"

"That's not the case." Although Li Ling said this, his face was still cold.

Even though he is about to become a father, he is still so stingy!

Jing Shu knew that Li Ling had a bad temper, and seeing how ignorant he was, she simply didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so she leaned on the chariot wall and closed her eyes to rest.

Jing Shu snorted coldly and said angrily to Li Ling: "Are you not sulky anymore? Are you finally willing to pay attention to me?"

In the two years since Murong Lizhu came to Zhen Guogong's Mansion, Xu Wanning and Jing Shu have been worrying about her marriage. They have been looking for more than a dozen powerful children in total, but they were all rejected by the old lady for one reason or another.

Rejected.

The old lady paused, looked at the two daughters-in-law and said, "Why did I hear that the second son of the Earl's Mansion brought in a noble concubine last year?"

As expected, when Jingshu entered Anxi Hall and sat down, the old lady came straight to the point and said, "I invite you here today to discuss Lizhu's marriage."

Xu Wanning nodded and said: "It seems that he was transferred to the north because of corruption."

After a while, a soft pillow was stuffed under her waist. Jingshu opened her eyes and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

The old lady said: "The old lady from the Earl's Mansion had some friendship with me in the early years. She invited me to go there the day before yesterday for this matter. I also met the boy Saburo. He is a neat person, and he treats others with humility and courtesy."

Not long ago, Jing Shu took a fancy to the eldest son of the second eldest son of the Duke of Jin's Palace. This man's family background, talent and character were all outstanding. However, the old lady was afraid that the other daughters-in-law of the Duke of Jin's Palace were too high-born, and she was worried about Murong Lizhu.

When I got married, I was looked down upon by others, so I just let it go.

Although Xu Wanning didn't agree with what the old lady said in her heart, she couldn't disobey her verbally. She just said sarcastically: "If the mistress is not interested in her, then I will refuse her."

Jingshu agreed and was about to follow the steward to Anxi Hall, but was pulled back by Li Ling: "I've been working hard for a long time. If I'm tired, I'll go back to my grandmother and go back tomorrow."

When the old lady mentioned the Erlang of the Earl's Mansion, Xu Wanning replied: "The wife of the Erlang of his family is a concubine of the former Shangshu family of the Ministry of War. She was raised by her mistress before she was released. She is a virtuous and courteous person, and she also married into the Earl's Mansion.

It's been seven or eight years, and the couple was very much in love at the beginning, but I heard that the past two years have not been very good."

After hearing this, Xu Wanning replied: "Grandma still hasn't made up her mind about the Earl's Palace Saburo I mentioned last time?"

The old lady sighed and said, "Could it be that Erlang felt disgusted with his wife when he saw that her natal family was in decline?"

Jing Shu snorted coldly and said to Li Ling: "The baby is in my belly, I'm afraid you can't help it."

The old lady shook her head: "This person knows people, faces but not hearts. It's hard to say this."

The old lady said: "Whatever crawls out of a mother's belly is always not too different. If their second man is a sanctimonious man, I'm afraid this third man will also be hard to trust."

After saying that, the old lady looked at Jing Shu again: "Shu'er, what do you think of this marriage in the Earl's Mansion?"

Jing Shu entered Anxi Hall and saw Xu Wanning there, so she guessed that the old lady must have come to discuss her marriage with the Earl's Mansion.

The old lady lowered her eyes and thought about it for a moment, but still felt that it was not appropriate, so she said decisively: "Then let's forget about the Earl's Mansion."

"What am I so angry about?" He said this, but his face was still clouded.

Let’s see how long you can get angry!

Jingshu sneered in her heart and leaned against the soft pillow and closed her eyes again.

Xu Wanning smiled and said helplessly: "Since grandma doesn't think much of this, then my siblings and I will help my cousin keep an eye on it."

The old lady knew that Jingshu was a cautious person. Although she loved both of her grandsons-in-law, she trusted this grandson-in-law more when encountering big events.

The current Third Young Master of the Earl's Palace was mentioned by Xu Wanning. Jing Shu didn't know this person very well, so naturally she couldn't say much. She only replied truthfully: "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't know much about this Third Young Master of the Earl's Palace, so it's hard to judge this sect.

marriage."

When the old lady heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "I remember that Feng Jin, the minister who used to serve in the Ministry of War, was transferred to another place because of some mistakes, right?"

Xu Wanning blurted out: "No, his second son has been serving in the Imperial College, and his reputation has always been good."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Even if the second son of his family has a bad character, it does not mean that the third son is also like this."

Li Ling said firmly: "I'm afraid that you will tire out my child if you work too much."

Xu Wanning was not a person who was good at hiding her emotions. The old lady was such a refined person that she couldn't see the displeasure of her grandson-in-law. She hurriedly explained: "I know you have worried a lot about Lizhu, but

Your cousin has a special background, so I have to think more about her marriage."

The old lady has been carefully looking for a husband for Murong Lizhu. A while ago, Xu Wanning mentioned to the old lady the third son of the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion. Although the title of the Earl's Mansion was lower, these three young men were handsome and motivated.

The person, like Li Yu, had just won the imperial examination last year.

As she said that, she caressed her slightly bulging belly, left Li Ling behind, turned around and headed towards An Xitang.

As the saying goes, no gold is pure, and no one is perfect. It is well-intentioned for the old people to love Murong Lizhu and worry about her being unkind to others, but they are always so picky, which inevitably makes people impatient.

After entering the house, a steward came to tell Jingshu that the old lady had invited her to come over.

The two said goodbye to the old lady, and as soon as they walked out of Anxi Hall, they saw Li Ling standing outside the door.

Xu Wanning asked: "Since grandma has already taken control of her eyes, what else does she have to worry about?"

When Jing Shu saw Li Ling coming over, she glanced at him indifferently, but Xu Wanning joked: "Second brother is looking for a wife again? Why don't you go in?"

Li Ling was speechless, turned around and walked ahead.

Xu Wanning poked Jingshu beside her and asked quietly: "Second brother, what's wrong? Are you two at odds?"

Jing Shu rolled her eyes at Li Ling's back and did not answer. She just picked up the important points and said: "Cousin Lizhu will be eighteen after this year. The marriage has not been settled yet, and my grandmother is so picky. It's really annoying."

impatient."
