The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 56 Anyone who dares to disobey Madam’s orders will be kicked out

After a while, two little girls came out carrying a set of thick quilts.

Ziyun took the quilt, folded it neatly and tied it with cloth tape. Danzhu asked: "Sister, where are you going to send this quilt?"

Ziyun was busy with her hands and replied: "I will send it to my uncle later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bilu waved her hands and said, "Sister, please don't ask me to send you off this time."

Ziyun gave her an angry look: "You won't be able to go this time even if you want to."

Bilu subconsciously looked at Danzhu, only to hear Ziyun continue: "How can we enter the important place of the military camp?" Then, she called the two little girls and said: "Come on, follow me."

Danzhu Bilu carried the wrapped quilt and followed Ziyun to the front yard. Ziyun and the steward found out where Ling Xiao lived, so they knocked on the door with them.

Ling Xiao used to be the eunuch who served the eldest princess. Seeing his clever mind, the eldest princess assigned him to serve as an errand beside Li Ling. Today, Li Ling is not in the palace, so Ling Xiao naturally does not need to go to the study to serve him. He was about to lie down to sleep when he saw

Ziyun was a little surprised.

"Why did sister call me?"

Ziyun smiled and said: "The prince has been busy with errands these past two days and has to stay in the camp at night. My wife was worried that he would catch a cold at night, so she ordered me to send a thick quilt. I'd trouble my father-in-law to make a trip and deliver it to the prince.

.”

Ling Xiao smiled and said: "Madam is really interested in our prince."

Ziyun smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the question.

Ling Xiao took the quilt from Danzhu Bilu and said, "Young man, I will ride on horseback to deliver the quilt to the prince."

Ziyun smiled and said: "In this case, my father-in-law will be busy."

Ling Xiao hugged the quilt and walked out, turned around and asked Ziyun: "Girl, madam, is there anything else you want me to say to the prince?"

Ziyun lowered her eyes, took stock, and said to him: "Just tell the prince that the lady hopes he will finish his official duties and come back soon."

"Okay!" Ling Xiao hugged the quilt and disappeared after a moment.

Maybe she slept too much in the second half of the night. After settling her accounts, she saw that it was getting late, but Jingshu still didn't feel sleepy.

She put on her shawl and opened the door. There were scattered snowflakes floating outside, and a thin layer had already accumulated on the ground.

Ziyun was about to go check the night when he saw Jingshu coming out and stepped forward and said, "It's cold at night. Miss, please go back to the house quickly."

Jingshu gathered her shawl and replied, "I'm not sleepy yet. I'll go with you to check around."

Ziyun brought the glass lamp, and the master and servant left Qingfeng Garden.

From a distance, I saw a tall figure walking towards this side despite the wind and snow.

"It's my uncle!" Ziyun glanced at Jingshu and whispered happily.

Jing Shu naturally recognized Li Ling and stopped.

Li Ling walked closer, glanced at Jing Shu, lowered his eyes and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing?"

Jing Shu stood there silently, with no intention of talking to him.

Ziyun hurriedly replied: "Mother-in-laws who go out late at night are often lazy, drinking and playing cards. Madam, I want to go and check everywhere personally."

Li Ling nodded slightly and said nothing.

Jingshu led Ziyun and continued towards the front yard. After walking for a while, Ziyun turned around and saw that Li Ling was still standing there. After a while, he actually followed them.

Ziyun was secretly happy and whispered in Jingshu's ear: "My uncle is following behind."

Although Jing Shu didn't know why he suddenly came back or why he followed them, she could tell that he was still angry with her.

Jingshu turned her head and glanced at Li Ling, who was following far behind. It was indeed what he said.

He will stay away from her from now on.

When we arrived at the door of the second room, we heard the mother-in-law's chattering voice coming from inside. If we listened carefully, it sounded like she was playing cards.

Jingshu stood in the corridor, Ziyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There were five or six women gathered in the side room, the stove was burning warm coals, and several people were drinking and playing cards around the stove.

Several people saw Ziyun next to the mistress and looked at each other for a moment. The woman in charge of the door came forward and took Ziyun's hand and said with a smile on her face: "Good girl, it's cold today, let's get together to spend time together."

Work hard, good girl, and you must never tell anyone above."

Ziyun sneered and said, "I'm afraid I can't decide on this matter."

The mother-in-law did not see Jing Shu standing outside the door. Seeing Ziyun's expression of being indifferent, she said sarcastically: "It is a great blessing for a girl to work as a servant for the mistress, but we are all slaves."

Yes, when anyone is in trouble or disaster, the girl can guarantee that the mistress will protect her, and she will be able to live smoothly in this house from now on. Although I am a rough maid, I have stayed in this house for most of my life.

Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Don't say that the girl complained to the second lady, but to the old lady. To put it bluntly, the old lady couldn't bear to do anything to us old people who have worked hard in the house for most of our lives.

ah."

Aren't these people just trying to bully their young lady because she is too young to lose face? Ziyun was about to speak out against her when Jingshu, who was standing in the corridor, said leisurely: "What you said is wrong!"

The old lady didn't know that the mistress was actually here, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly came out of the house and hurriedly apologized: "I am old and talking nonsense, please don't worry about it, madam."

The other mothers-in-law in the house were startled when they saw that their mistress had come to check on her in person. They all came out of the house with their heads shrunk and stood neatly on the porch.

Jingshu's eyes swept over the faces of these women one by one, and said calmly: "Since you are the old people in the house, you should naturally understand the rules. The saying 'Nothing can be done without rules' even though you are the old people in the house,

If you break the rules, I won't condone it."

After hearing this, several women hurriedly knelt down and begged: "We were just confused for a moment, please show your kindness, Madam."

Ziyun snorted and pointed at the woman on the ground: "There were three people on duty at these two gates, but now there are five." She pointed at the other two women and asked: "Where are you two from?

of?"

The mother-in-law hesitated and said: "We are from Zhuxuantang."

It's from the fourth master's yard. No wonder he's so unruly and dares to leave his post without authorization and come here to gather people to play cards.

Jing Shu looked at everyone and said, "Since you have violated the rules, you will be fined one month's salary per person according to the rules."

Although she was distressed by being fined money, the mistress was still generous and did not use them to make an example of others. Just as a few of them were about to kowtow to express gratitude, Li Ling came over.

Although everyone in the mansion looked down upon the always cold and solemn Crown Prince, fortunately, he never interfered in the affairs of the inner house.

Unexpectedly, when Li Ling came up to him, he said: "The government has issued an order that prohibits eating, drinking and playing cards at night. If you knowingly break the rules, you will be fined a month's salary according to what the lady said. In addition, you don't have to stay in the house from now on. You will all go to the capital."

Zhuangzi in the suburbs has been tricked."

Several people almost fainted after listening to Li Ling's words. They had to do menial jobs in Zhuangzi, how could it be better than in this glorious and wealthy Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

Several people looked at the mistress and wanted to plead for mercy, but they looked at the prince's cold face as cold as ice, but they were too frightened to speak.

After hearing the news, Mr. Fu rushed over. Li Ling met Mr. Fu and said, "If you tell me, anyone who disobeys Madam's order from now on will be rushed to Zhuangzi."

Li Ling: Madam, I will support you for your husband.

Jingshu: Go away, don't you want to make me angry?

Li Ling: Although I am angry with you, I will not allow others to bully you.
