The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 404 You don’t have to pretend anymore, and I won’t trust you anymore

Author: Que Nanzhi

The next morning, Jiao Xing finally gave birth to a daughter with great difficulty.

Because of the abnormal fetal movement and the abnormal fetal position of Jiao Xing, it was thanks to Granny Wang's experience that she and her mother were able to save their lives.

When Li Xiang returned to the main room tiredly, Pingyang was taking the children to have breakfast. Seeing Li Xiang come in, she only raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, without saying anything, and continued to coax the children to eat.

Li Xiang sat down on the couch in a depressed manner until Pingyang and the children finished eating. He ordered the wet nurse to take the children out. There were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere was surprisingly awkward.

"I'm sorry." After a long time, Li Xiang looked at Pingyang and said this.

Pingyang didn't speak, didn't even look at him, he just got up and left him to walk out.

Li Xiang stood up and hurriedly stood in front of Pingyang, but he did not dare to look at his wife's face. He repeated again: "Pingyang, I am sorry for you."

Pingyang stopped, stood in front of Li Xiang, looked straight at him, his tone was surprisingly calm, and replied: "That's good, you don't have to pretend in front of me anymore, and I will never let you go again."

In my heart.”

After saying that, Pingyang left Li Xiang and walked out of the house, heading straight towards Qingfeng Garden.

The main reason why their grandmother, Princess Lan, and their mother, Princess Yongqin, were optimistic about the marriage in Zhenguo Gongfu was not because of how prominent the family was, let alone how worthy of trust Li Xiang was. What the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law valued most was the Gongfu.

This is the harmony between women and families.

Pingyang never understood why her grandmother and mother were thinking like this, but now she finally understood the painstaking efforts of her elders. An emperor's concubine and a princess, these two noble women have seen through that men are not reliable. Marrying into a powerful family

Home means that men are unreliable, and women who live under the same roof are the ones who can truly take care of them.

After she fell into the water yesterday, she saw Li Xiang jumping into the water. Pingyang thought that her husband must have come to save her. She called desperately to him, but he resolutely swam towards the other woman.

At that time, Pingyang felt abandoned by the whole world. She was even despairing and gave up her struggle. If she hadn't heard Jingshu calling her desperately, and if Xu Wanning hadn't jumped into the water to save her, Pingyang might have been discouraged.

Feeling cold, he sank to the bottom of the water.

Jing Shu and Xu Wanning were on their way to Xianglin Garden together. They happened to bump into Ping Yang and were both very surprised.

Before they could speak, Pingyang smiled at them and said, "Aunt Xing just gave birth this morning. The third master has been guarding across the courtyard all night. He is so tired that he is sleeping in the house. I just came out to find you."

"

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "We were going to see you. Since the third brother is in the house, let's go to your second sister-in-law. She has good tea. Let's go to her place to have some tea."

Pingyang happily agreed, and the three sisters-in-law entered Qingfeng Garden. The little girls served fragrant tea and fruits, and the three sisters-in-law took their seats while greeting each other.

What happened yesterday, Jing Shu and Xu Wanning had been worried that Pingyang would not be able to get over it, but they never thought that Pingyang was far stronger than they thought.

She glanced at the worried faces of Jing Shu and Xu Wanning, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, don't worry about me. I thought about it all night after you left last night, and I made a decision."

"I want to learn to make money from you!"

As soon as Pingyang said these words, Jingshu and Xu Wanning looked at each other in disbelief, then looked at Pingyang in disbelief.

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "I'm afraid you won't be able to spend all your dowry in two lifetimes. Why are you thinking about making money?"

Pingyang caressed his bulging belly and replied: "I now have three children. Since I can't count on the third master, I should make plans for the children's future. The money from the prince's dowry will be free for me." It’s just idle time, so it’s better to let them make money and save more assets for my children.”

Although Xu Wanning is the daughter of a noble family, the dowry is naturally very generous. Although Jingshu comes from a lower family, she has had a husband and mother-in-law to support herself and worked hard to make a living over the years. She also has a rich net worth, but Jingshu and Xu Wanning combined It's not as good as Pingyang's net worth.

She is the legitimate daughter of the prince, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is Shili Hongzhuang. Her current assets, not to mention raising three children, even her great-grandchildren will never be able to spend them all. Like Pingyang, she is just fighting for one tone.

Xu Wanning can sympathize with Pingyang's behavior the most. After she and Li Xian had a big fight, she worked hard to make money, for no other reason than to have peace of mind.

Xu Wanning listened to Pingyang and agreed: "Great! If you have this intention, that's great!"

Pingyang smiled and said to Jingshu: "I heard that the second sister-in-law's pharmacy is now quite prestigious in Beijing and has opened more than a dozen."

When Jingshu first started her pharmacy business, she originally wanted to make money, but after seeing the conditions of the poor, she continued to help the poor. She lost money for a long time, but she also accumulated a good reputation invisibly. In the past few years, it has become well-known in the capital. Not only has it turned a profit, but it has also opened many branches, making a lot of money.

Jingshu nodded and asked Pingyang, "Do you want to invest in the pharmacy business with me?"

Pingyang replied: "I don't know about other businesses. I have a lot of money in my hands. Why not buy a stake in Ersao's pharmacy? We can build on the reputation of Jingzhong, expand our business, and open a few new stores in Jingzhong."

Without waiting for Jing Shu's reply, Xu Wanning clapped her hands and agreed: "Pingyang has really good eyesight. Last year, I bought a stake in your second sister-in-law's drug store. In less than half a year, I made as much money as those jewelry and silk shops did for several years."

Jing Shu replied: "Sister-in-law has converted those fields into medicine gardens. The medicinal materials in our medicine shop are all from the medicine gardens. The cost is low and the medicines are good. Therefore, the prices are lower than those in other medicine shops, so they are naturally more popular. .”

The three sisters-in-law were chatting enthusiastically here. Outside, the mother-in-law came in and replied: "Aunt Xing from Xianglin Garden wants to see some ladies."

Several people were surprised when they heard that it was Jiao Xing who was asking for a meeting. Xu Wanning's face, which was originally full of joy, suddenly darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "Okay, what is she doing here? Didn't she just give birth to a baby? Why don't she raise her in her own house? Wait, what are you doing here to see us?"

Jingshu looked at Pingyang and said, "If you don't want to see her, I will send someone away."

Pingyang looked at his two sisters-in-law and said with a wry smile: "Aunt Xing, I really didn't take her to heart before, but now that I think about it, she is indeed different from ordinary people in many ways."

After hearing Pingyang's words, Xu Wanning sneered nonchalantly and said: "It's just a cheap little girl. She's not very pretty. There's nothing special about her. If she can stay on her own terms, you can let her stay. If you look at She is not pleasing to the eye, so when she is out of confinement, just send her away. Now that you have looked away, it is not worth taking such a concubine to your heart."
