The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 279 No overnight stay

Li Xiang took Jiao Xing's hand into the house and saw a chopping board on the table outside with the dough on it. Li Xiang smiled and guessed: "You are making longevity noodles, right?"

Jiao Xing smiled and nodded.

Li Xiang rolled up his sleeves again and said with a smile: "I'm the best at this, so I'll make it for you."

The girl Xiaomei made the tea and was carrying it in. She walked up to Jiao Xing in surprise and reminded her in a low voice: "Let the slave do this."

Jiao Xing smiled and said: "It's okay, he has done this before, just let him go."

Xiaomei flattened her mouth helplessly, put down the tea cup, and silently retreated.

There were only two people left in the room. Jiao Xing brought the basin, held Li Xiang's sleeves and said angrily: "I just got a lot of snow water on my hands, please wash them first before doing that."

Li Xiang obediently dipped his hand in the warm water, grinned at Jiao Xing and said with a smile: "Hurry up and put the plum blossoms I got."

Jiao Xing smiled and nodded. Li Xiang washed and dried his hands, returned to the chopping board, and began to roll out the dough in a decent manner.

Jiao Xing sat aside and planted plum blossoms.

Aunt Zhao murmured in reply: "If the hot water can be used tonight, it means that the third master cares about our aunt. If she can't use it."

Just as he was talking, Li Xiang had already entered the room. He looked up and saw the master and servant looking at him with surprised expressions. He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at himself, then raised his head again and asked, "What are you doing?"

Do you even look at me like this?"

Pingyangyuan also expected that Li Xiang would rest at Jiao Xing's place tonight. Even if she was the real wife, it was human nature for her husband to occasionally spend the night in his concubine's room. But tonight Li Xiang really didn't come back, and she felt extremely sad in her heart.

Yuzhu looked at her little princess, who had been doted on by thousands of beauties since she was a child, and looked like she was in despair. She felt heartbroken but had no choice but to do so. But now that the matter had come to this, Yuzhu had no choice but to find something nice to relieve Pingyang.

Pingyang cried and laughed, and threw herself into her husband's arms.

Yuzhu was also happy, and You Zi seemed like she couldn't believe it, so she hurriedly asked: "My uncle is really back?"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao could not react to the situation between the two of them. Xiaohong glanced at Aunt Zhao's tightened eyebrows and asked, "Look, Auntie, the Third Master must have an aunt in his heart.

.”

When Pingyang heard this, he stood up excitedly and was so surprised that he was speechless for a moment.

"Aunt Xing has been back for so long. Today is just for her birthday. My uncle has only been here for one night. Why do you need to worry about this?"

Jiao Xing is just a concubine. According to the rules of the house, there are only two servants in this small courtyard. Xiaomei has served Jiao Xing since she was at Zhuangzi. Naturally, she hopes that Jiao Xing will win after she is promoted to aunt.

Jun Qingyan, this old lady Zhao was originally just a low-class rough woman from Xianglinyuan, but now she suddenly has an aunt, so she naturally hopes that her master will gain face.

In the main room of the Xianglin Garden Sculpture Gallery, Pingyang, who had just been served by a maid and bathed, was sitting in front of the water chestnut mirror, his face gloomy.

Through the white steam coming out of the pot, Jiao Xing nodded towards Li Xiang, with a hint of moisture in her eyes.

At this moment, Lan Tian hurriedly walked in from outside and said cheerfully: "Princess, my uncle is back."

Seeing Xiao Meimu's dumb look, Aunt Zhao poked Xiao Mei and said, "How did you see the third master and my aunt in there just now?"

The little red man was ignorant and asked in confusion when he heard this: "Why prepare hot water?"

"By the way, didn't I promise you a long time ago that except for Aunt Xing, he will not let any other women in from now on? I think my uncle is only indifferent to Aunt Xing, and he will not have any interest in her from now on.

Concubine, you are not alone in my uncle’s favor."

The maid Xiaomei was hiding in the lower room, chatting happily with the two rough ladies in the yard.

She looked at the already dark sky outside and said to Xiaomei, "Let's prepare hot water first."

Aunt Zhao saw that Xiaohongren was not understanding, so she stopped talking to her about the matter. She only told her: "You should stay with my aunt and give her some guidance. You must be more obedient and please the third master."

, only if we can please the third master, will our life be easy in the future."

Xiaomei replied: "If I really forgot, how could I bring my aunt back?"

Aunt Zhao couldn't understand it either.

"Yuzhu, do you think I shouldn't bring Jiao Xing back?" Pingyang sat blankly on the little Wuzi, lowering his head and murmuring.

Aunt Zhao sighed lightly and said, "It means that my aunt is nothing more than ordinary in Third Master's heart."

The hot air spread when the two met, reflecting Li Xiang's handsome face and blushing: "From now on, we can be together for a long time."

Today, they finally got to see Li Xiang come to see their aunt. Both of them were overjoyed. Aunt Zhao smacked her lips and said, "I thought it had been so long since Aunt Xing came back and the third master didn't come over. I'm afraid he had already forgotten her."

.”

Lan Tian smiled and nodded: "We've arrived at the door."

The legitimate son of the Duke could do such a deliberate thing to please his aunt, and it seemed that he cared about her in his heart. But after thinking about the aunt's return for so many days, Li Xiang came over to take a look, and he was not in a hurry after meeting her.

Being affectionate doesn't seem to be very affectionate.

Jiao Xing is just an aunt, so the courtyard is not equipped with a small kitchen. All the food and drinks are delivered on time from the main courtyard. To cook birthday noodles today, she and Xiao Mei only set up a small pot on the stove outside.

The water in the pot has been boiled, and after Li Xiang has cut the noodles, he puts them into the pot.

Xiaohong retorted: "If the third master has no feelings for my aunt at all, how can the lady take her back?"

Yuzhu made the bed, glanced at the clock on the wall, and tried to persuade her: "It's already this hour, I'm afraid I won't be able to return. Princess, please rest first."

After hearing Yuzhu's advice, Pingyang felt a little relieved, but he still couldn't let go.

Xiaomei recalled Li Xiang's shocking behavior just now. Naturally, he couldn't tell what the situation between the two of them was like. He could only tell Aunt Zhao everything about how they got along just now.

Aunt Zhao smiled and said: "You are just a child. It is my wife's intention to bring my aunt back, not the Third Master's."

With tears in her eyes, she said with a hint of crying: "Today I realized that sharing my husband with others is such a difficult feeling."

Yuzhu and Lantian looked at each other, smiled, and quietly retreated.

"I thought you wouldn't come back?" Pingyang sniffed and said half coquettishly and half aggrieved in her husband's arms.

Li Xiang smiled and said: "Just take a look, you didn't want me to go over and see her. If I knew you cared so much, I wouldn't have gone over."

Pingyang raised his head from Li Xiang's arms and said shyly, "That's not what I meant."
