The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 276 Lizhu’s love for each other

When Murong Lizhu heard this, her clear eyes couldn't help but light up, and she blurted out: "But the one named Jiang Youchen who stayed in the house temporarily a while ago?"

"Have you seen this person?" The old lady was very surprised to hear Murong Lizhu say this, and asked with a surprised look on her face.

Only then did Murong Lizhu realize that she had lost her bearings, and she quickly replied: "I just came back from you with my two sisters-in-law once, and the young master of the Jiang family happened to come over to pay you respects."

As she spoke, Murong Lizhu's cheeks turned slightly red, and her voice couldn't help but lower her voice: "We just met once by chance, so we can't be considered acquaintances."

The old lady knew that her grand-niece was a person who cared about etiquette, so when she saw her suddenly losing her composure, she had guessed something.

She patted Lizhu's hand and said softly: "After all, this is about choosing a son-in-law for you. It is related to your lifelong happiness. It should be based on your agreement. Since your cousin mentioned that Jiang

Jia'erlang, do you feel satisfied?"

Hearing what the old lady said so straightforwardly, Murong Lizhu blushed as red as a ripe peach and was so embarrassed that she couldn't even lift her head. She responded like a mosquito: "Since ancient times, women's marriages have been decided by their parents.

Lizhu lost her father when she was young, so my marriage is entirely up to my aunt."

This is how a lady should be reserved. Although Murong Lizhu did not explain it, the old lady already knew that her grandniece also liked Jiang Youchen, so she simply spread her arms and said: "This son of the Jiang family

In terms of character and talent, it is natural that everything

He is also a responsible and trustworthy master. But your second cousin just told me that he once had an engagement in Chaozhou, and his fiancée died of illness before they even got married. Chaozhou is where she is.

There are vague rumors that he seems to be a slave to his wife."

After hearing this, Murong Lizhu was silent for a while, and replied tactfully: "Since it is a rumor, how can we take it seriously? People in our hometown in Jiangdong also secretly say that I have a hard life and am being treated like this for no reason.

Defamation, I can understand the helplessness of this young master of the Jiang family."

This means not caring.

Ziyun covered her mouth and snickered, and persuaded Jingshu: "Don't be upset, this Cousin Lizhu is also a rare lady. Maybe my uncle's little temper will actually facilitate the young master's marriage."

The marriage of children is the order of the parents, and the old lady naturally has no objection to the matchmaker's words.

Ziyun has been following Jingshu. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that a person as cold and solemn as my uncle would be a matchmaker. He must be looking forward to the marriage of the young master of the Jiang family."

Murong Lizhu finally raised her head, looked at the old lady with her full eyes, and replied implicitly: "When a woman is married, she should abide by her duties. I lost my father when I was young. If my future husband's family can treat me sincerely,

I will sincerely repay you and I will definitely be able to overcome difficulties."

Jing Shu really didn't expect that Li Ling would come as a matchmaker. When she heard that the old lady had fallen in love with Jiang Youchen, Jing Shu was very surprised.

Jing Shu glanced at Ziyun, scolded Li Ling with a cold snort and said, "Stingy thing."

Jingshu glared at him again, gritted her silver teeth and said bitterly: "When I get back, let's see how I settle the score with you."

At about noon the next day, the old lady ordered someone to invite Jingshu to Anxi Hall.

Jingshu had no choice but to bite the bullet and replied: "As the governor of Chaozhou, it is difficult for my uncle to escape. When I go back, I will mention it in a letter to my uncle and aunt. If they think it is good, I can invite them to Beijing to discuss it."

After leaving Anxitang, Jingshu couldn't help scolding Li Ling and said, "This man is so confused. He didn't even tell me about such a thing. I'm really angry."

Li Ling glanced at his wife's unkind expression and saw her coming from Anxi Hall, and he understood in his heart. He grinned at his wife in a flattering way and said in a joking tone: "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get back."

Not only was this something that my uncle and aunt didn't agree with, but I still didn't know whether Jiang Youchen himself was willing or not. Xu Wanning just mentioned it casually that day. Who knew that a daredevil like Li Ling would be caught off guard?

Now that the matter has come to this, Jingshu naturally can't bring up the fact that Jiang Youchen doesn't know about it, so she has to deal with it in a perfunctory manner at first. When she later asks Jiang Youchen, it's okay if he is willing. If he is not willing, she can only try to push it to her uncle and aunt.

She was rumored to be a master in the aristocratic circle in Jiangdong, so her uncle entrusted her to the old lady. Although the old lady loved her, Murong Lizhu knew in her heart that to the Zhenguo Duke's palace, she was just an outsider, and others could care about her.

Even if you worry about her marriage, you are doing her a favor, but how can she reveal her inner thoughts without shame, causing others to look down upon her.

Murong Lizhu indeed fell in love with Jiang Youchen, but in today's world, if a woman fell in love with a man, it would be a treacherous act. If Li Ling didn't come to matchmaking today, Murong Lizhu planned to keep this worry in her stomach.

Yes, just let the old lady choose a husband for her.

The old lady fell in love with Jiang Youchen, and since Murong Lizhu was also willing to do so, the old lady no longer cared about anything else, and just said to Jingshu: "I am very fond of this marriage, but your uncle's family is far away in Chaozhou.

I don’t know what they mean.”

After hearing this, Murong Lizhu stood up, stood in front of the old lady, and gave her a deep blessing: "Lizhu, thank you, my aunt, for taking care of me."

Murong Lizhu did not expect that Li Ling would actually come to play matchmaking. Since someone had already legitimately pushed the person of her dreams to her, she had to fight for her to make this life worthwhile.

After hearing this, the old lady patted Murong Lizhu's hand and said: "My aunt understands what you are thinking. If you can find two people and live smoothly in the future, I will be able to settle a worry.

Your uncle's trust is not in vain."

Li Ling came over to support his wife as if to please him, and with a smile on his face, he lowered his voice and said, "If I make a mistake, you can go back and beat me and scold me behind my back, but you must not get angry. The imperial doctor said, you are now

This body cannot be angry."

When the master and servant were halfway there, they happened to see Li Ling returning from his shift. Before Li Ling could speak, Jing Shu gave him a hard look.

The old lady nodded and continued: "The son of the Jiang family has just arrived in Beijing to take up a post, but his parents are still far away in Chaozhou. According to the etiquette, if any son or daughter marries, they must learn the rules from their mother-in-law.

When you learn to take care of the housework, you usually cannot go to work with your husband, and you have to live a life of separation in two places.

Jing Shu shook off Li Ling's hand and replied with a dull face: "If you don't come to make me angry, there will be nothing in this world that makes me angry."

Li Ling was thrown away by Jing Shu, but he persisted and stuck to her again. He said with a flattering smile: "Madam is serious. Even if you lend me Li Ling some more courage, I don't dare to make Madam angry. There must be something in between."

What a misunderstanding."

Jing Shu saw that he was trying to evade the situation, so she pinched his waist and said through gritted teeth, "Let's see how I deal with you when I get back."

Li Ling let out an "ouch" when he was pinched. He covered his lower back and complained, "Isn't it true that you started attacking me before I even got back to the house?"
