The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 5 Husband and wife quarrel

It was July, and the weather was getting hotter day by day. After dinner, Zhu Dan and Bilu brought the watermelon up from the well, removed the skin and cut it into small pieces, and served it to Jingshu and Li Ling.

The two of them were sitting together eating melon, and Li Ling said: "On the second day of the Lunar New Year, General Xuexianna will be engaged. You come with me to the General's Mansion to watch the ceremony."

This General Zhou is Zhou Yi, who failed in the battle against the Huns in his previous life. He is now over forty, and his first wife passed away due to illness. He was ordered to renew their marriage, and he accepted the same person who wanted to embarrass the old lady in public at the birthday banquet that day, that Jane.

The princess of the county, Zhao Yuan'er.

Jingshu was really annoyed with her.

"I have something to do in my second year of junior high school, so I can't go with you."

Li Ling did not expect his wife to refuse and asked, "What are you doing that day?"

"I made an appointment with my sister-in-law to go to Princess Lanling's flower viewing party that day." She did have an appointment with Xu Wanning.

It was also a coincidence that we happened to bump into each other.

"Tell my sister-in-law tomorrow and I'll just push it back." Li Ling had already made the decision for his wife, and he didn't mean to discuss it with her again.

"I have already made an agreement with my sister-in-law, how can I break the agreement?"

Li Ling didn't expect his wife to refute him. He put down the melon he was eating, looked at Jing Shu and said, "It's just a flower viewing party, so what if I don't go?"

The implication is that she must obey his words.

Seeing Li Ling's cold face, Jing Shu felt unhappy and replied: "I made an appointment with my sister-in-law the day before yesterday. You just came to make an appointment with me today. Everything naturally comes first, doesn't it? Besides, I am in the boudoir.

I am familiar with Princess Lanling. She has a cheerful temperament and I like to get along with her. I don’t know General Zhou, and as for his new bride, I don’t like it even more. Why do you have to force me to go?"

The little wife's words with a stern face really stunned Li Ling.

A few days ago, he saw how unruly she was in her speech and behavior. He was considerate of her young age and being a bride, so he simply turned a blind eye and let it go. Unexpectedly, he indulged her even more, and now he was so courageous.

It's getting bigger and bigger.

He actually didn’t take his husband seriously at all!

"Stop the flower viewing party and come with me to General Zhou's Mansion." Li Ling stared at her and his tone turned cold.

He has a cold face to begin with, and usually makes people stay away from him. Now when he is angry, he even looks like a bluff.

The two of them were having a bad time here, and the girl who was calling outside stood at the door and asked someone in charge to reply.

Jing Shu didn't know how to deal with Li Ling, so she quickly replied: "Bring the people in."

After a while, Mrs. Wang, the steward of the mansion, took Mrs. Li from the third master's yard. The two of them walked into the back of the house and respectfully greeted Li Ling and Jing Shu: "My slave, please pay your respects to the prince and his wife."

Seeing that the two of them looked unhappy, Jing Shu asked, "Do you have anything to report?"

Although she was the mistress, she had just been married and had not yet officially become a housekeeper. However, after hosting the birthday banquet, she gained the favor of the old lady, and everyone in the house naturally treated her as the mistress of the house.

The two ladies looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. Finally, Mrs. Wang spoke up and said, "Madam, something happened in the third master's yard."

The third master, Li Xiang, is the younger brother of Li Ling. The Duke of Zhen Guo is in poor health and the eldest princess is not in the house all the year round. Therefore, the responsibility of raising the younger brother naturally falls on Li Ling, the elder brother.

When Li Ling heard that it was his younger brother, he asked, "What's wrong with the third child?"

Mrs. Wang secretly poked Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li hesitated and replied: "As for the Master, it's a little girl named Xing'er in the third master's yard. Today, my servant went to clean the third master's house and happened to bump into her. She

With Third Master. With Third Master."

Mrs. Li glanced at Li Ling's face, which was gradually turning cold. She was so frightened that she hesitated and did not dare to say any more.

The family rules of the Zhenguo Palace are very strict. Men are not allowed to have concubines before they are married. They are afraid that their children and grandchildren will be obsessed with women when they are young and delay their progress. Of course, they can take in concubines after they get married. At that time, there is a master in the house.

Mother is suppressing her, so naturally she is no longer afraid of those charming men pestering her.

Therefore, before she married Li Ling, Li Ling's house was very clean. Even after she had been with him for five years in the previous life, he did not take any concubines. It was also because of this that she was later angry with Li Ling for doing what he did for Qingluan.

Although he acted out of the blue, he still had a glimmer of hope for him.

"Presumptuous!" Li Ling was a stickler for rules, and now he was completely angry.

Mrs. Li was so frightened that she still had the courage to continue talking.

Mrs. Wang is the steward of the house, so she naturally has more ideas than Mrs. Li. Seeing that the prince was angry, she quickly added: "The third master has always done his duty, and it must have been seduced by that little hoof. Don't be upset, prince. I will take care of that hoof tomorrow."

Get out of the house."

After the eldest princess had a falling out with the prince, she simply ignored her two young children, the third master and the third girl, and returned to the princess's residence.

The third master, the grandson, was brought up by the old lady. He was like a baby. The third master broke the family rules, and the old lady was angry, but she was reluctant to punish him severely. It happened that the old lady was ill these days, and who dared to mention it?

This made the old man upset. But people didn’t dare to know about such a thing and not report it, so they came to report it to the prince and his wife.

The prince has always been strict, so Aunt Li was worried that her young master would be punished, so naturally she wanted to throw dirty water on the restless little girl.

"Go and call the third child." Li Ling replied with a cold face.

After a while, the third master, Li Xiang, came in with his head drooping. Seeing that his brother was very angry, he just stood aside with his head lowered, too scared to express his anger.

"You are becoming more and more promising." Li Ling reprimanded harshly when he opened his mouth.

"The gentleman in the mansion has told me many times that you are cheating and cheating, but you can't make progress in studies, and your martial arts skills are also mediocre. For such an old man, you can't be good at martial arts, so you should learn from the ways of those playboys."

Third Master Li Xiang lowered his head, not daring to look at his brother, and mumbled back: "I was wrong."

When Li Ling saw that he had admitted his mistake, he couldn't blame him any more in front of his wife. He glared at him and said, "I'll go to the ancestral hall to get thirty boards later."

"Yes." Li Xiang agreed happily.

Li Ling continued: "Next month, you can join the army with me."

It's not a discussion tone.

Li Xiang was shocked when he heard this, and raised his head and looked at his brother in confusion.

Li Ling explained: "You are already old. Since you are not good at reading, why not go to the army and gain experience."

Although it hurts, it will be fine if you get over it. Go to the army? Or go to your brother's army? That will be an endless hardship.

Li Ling was very strict in running the army. Although he was Li Ling's younger brother, Li Xiang knew very well that his brother would not open a back door for him. On the contrary, with his temperament, he would definitely push him wherever he was tired.

This is no fun!

He didn't want to suffer that.

"Second brother, I'm not like you. I was born to be a general. I'd better study hard. This time I really know I was wrong. I promise not to mess around in the future and study hard. From now on, you will study martial arts and I will study literature.

We brothers work together to shine." Li Xiang was really scared this time. He raised his head and looked at his brother anxiously expressing his determination to make progress.

Li Ling picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and replied: "When you are in the army, you cannot neglect your studies. Just come to my camp after daily training and I will personally teach you."

ah??!!

Li Xiang wanted to cry.

"Second brother, you are so busy, how can I bother you? I can just learn from my husband at home."

"This matter is settled. Go ahead, get the board, recover from your injuries and then follow me to the army." Li Ling was too lazy to listen to his brother's nagging anymore and made the final decision.

Li Xiang really cried. He glanced at his brother's face but didn't dare to say anything more.

Li Ling: Is it so difficult for you to accompany me just once?

Jingshu: Sorry, I have something to do, so I won’t accompany you.

Li Ling: I would be very worried if I don’t take such a beautiful wife out to show off.
