The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 29 She doesn’t want the old lady to be sad anymore

The old lady had been sleeping, and Jingshu sat on the little wood in front of the couch, watching over her quietly.

In the middle of the night, Nanny Xu came over. She entered the inner room and saw that the old lady was still sleeping. She asked Jingshu who was sitting next to her, "Has the old lady not woken up yet?"

Jingshu nodded and said, "I've been sleeping."

While the two were talking, the old lady frowned slightly. Seeing that the old lady seemed to be waking up, Jingshu quickly got up and went outside to get tea.

The old lady opened her eyes, and Nanny Xu came forward, looked at her and said, "You're awake, do you feel better?"

The old lady was speechless, but hot tears fell from her cloudy eyes.

She was strong-willed when she was young. Aunt Xu rarely saw her crying and asked anxiously: "What's wrong with you? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

The old lady murmured: "I don't feel uncomfortable physically, I feel uncomfortable in my heart."

Of course Aunt Xu understands what the old lady is thinking.

Isn't it because she suddenly fell ill this time because she was worried about her granddaughter Qingluan?

Aunt Xu persuaded her: "The Ninth Princess is fine now. You must relax and take good care of yourself."

The old lady grabbed Nanny Xu's hand and choked with sobs: "I just dreamed of A-Xian and A-Tian again."

The tragic death of her two daughters in the palace was the sorrow of the old lady's life.

When Grandma Xu saw the old lady mentioning this, she couldn't help but feel sad. She held back her tears and advised, "You are still ill, so why bother thinking about these things? The most important thing is that you take care of yourself."

The old lady sobbed: "I really shouldn't have agreed to send them to the palace in the first place. It was me who caused them misery. It's all my fault."

At the end of the speech, the old lady was heartbroken and cried loudly.

Li Ling heard the sound and walked in quickly from outside, but was stopped by Jing Shu standing at the door.

The old lady was strong-willed by nature. Although she had experienced a lot of suffering, she never showed it in front of others. When she woke up, she didn't know that she and Li Ling were here. With her temperament, she definitely didn't want her children and grandchildren to see her like this.

Li Ling also understood what Jing Shu meant.

The two quietly exited the inner room.

Jingshu went to the small kitchen to take out the warm white porridge, put it in a thermal-insulated porcelain jar and brought it back to Anxi Hall. She stood outside and listened to the silence in the inner room.

Presumably the old lady has been comforted by Aunt Xu.

She quietly walked to the door carrying the porridge and winked at Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu understood and came over to take the hot porridge. She brought it to the old lady's bed and persuaded them: "I asked them to heat the porridge. You should eat some."

The old lady shook her head silently.

Aunt Xu then advised: "You have to take good care of yourself, right? The Ninth Princess is still relying on you for protection."

These words touched the old lady's heart, and she said: "Just feed me a few bites."

Aunt Xu happily agreed and fed the porridge into the old lady's mouth with a small spoon. While feeding, she murmured: "Your illness makes the children anxious. Brother Ling and the second lady are here."

After guarding you for most of the night, I forced them to go back and rest before you woke up."

"Shu'er has a good temperament and is thoughtful. He is a rare good boy." The old lady paused and said happily: "I will give this home to her in the future, and I will feel relieved until I die."

Aunt Xu replied: "What are you talking about? If you want to live a long life, you have to watch your great-grandchildren grow up, right?"

After listening to Aunt Xu's words, the old lady's face softened and she murmured: "Yes, I still need to see my great-grandson." After saying that, she looked up at Aunt Xu and asked: "This time

Is there any movement from the second daughter-in-law?"

Jing Shu stood at the door. After listening to the old lady's words, her pink face could not help but blush.

Li Ling lowered his head and looked at her, his eyes shining brightly.

Jingshu felt his gaze, raised her head and gave him a dagger in the eye.

Li Ling muttered with his lips: "Why are you staring at me? It's not me who is in a hurry." As he spoke, he quietly pointed inside and whispered: "It's my grandmother who is in a hurry to hold her grandson."

Jingshu gave him another slap in the face, left him and turned to the outer room.

In the inner room, Nanny Xu smiled and said, "It's been less than three months since the Second Madam came in. You're too impatient."

After a while, Nanny Xu came out with an empty bowl, and whispered to Li Ling and Jingshu: "I just ate half a bowl of porridge, and now I'm asleep again. The old lady is fine. Don't worry, Prince Master and Madam."

"

She suppressed Jing Shu's worried look and continued: "I have been with the old lady my whole life and know her best. Just don't worry. You are tired after staying up for most of the night. Go back and rest quickly. I'll come back tomorrow."

"

Jingshu nodded and said, "Then I'll come back tomorrow."

It was already midnight when they returned to Qingfeng Garden. The two of them were so tired that they didn't even bother to wash up and went to bed.

Li Ling pulled off the quilt, covered Jingshu first, and said, "You have worked hard today. Go to sleep."

Jing Shu hummed, turned around and was about to fall asleep, when Li Ling's arm stretched out and pulled her into his arms.

Jingshu broke away from his arms, squinted her eyes and said, "I'm tired and want to sleep."

She didn't get angry with him.

Rather, I am really tired after a busy day and night.

At this moment, I no longer have the energy to argue with him about those things.

Seeing her tired and haggard face, Li Ling calmed down, patted the back of his hand and said, "Go to sleep."

Jingshu closed her eyes, but the old lady's grief-stricken look appeared in her mind.

In her previous life, her child who was less than four months old had a miscarriage, which made her feel heart-piercingly sad, not to mention the old lady suddenly losing her two blooming adult daughters.

She can also feel the pain of the old lady.

"Is Qingluan really okay?" Jingshu asked leisurely in the dark night.

At this moment, she really doesn't want anything to happen to Qingluan again. It's not that she suddenly became enlightened and became an eternally good wife. It's that she doesn't want the old lady to be sad anymore.

Hearing her ask about Qingluan, Li Ling was a little surprised. Just now in Anxi Hall, he clearly felt that she didn't like him mentioning Qingluan.

"It's okay, I'm just weak and need to rest."

Just don’t die!

Jingshu felt relieved, tucked in the quilt and was about to fall asleep.

Li Ling continued: "It's just that the inner court hasn't found out her murderer yet."

In just one sentence, Jingshu could clearly feel the deep resentment of the person beside her. She sneered in her heart, but was too lazy to deal with her anymore, closed her eyes, and fell asleep tiredly.

In the past few days, there have been many treasures collecting, commenting, and sending tickets.

Thank you all for your support.

The little girl can only repay you by focusing on writing well!
