The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 7 Separation

When Jing Shu saw that Li Ling was covered in blood because of her, the suffocation in her heart disappeared and she took a comfortable bath in warm water.

Ziyun heard the argument between the two outside, and tentatively reminded: "My slave didn't look very well when I saw my uncle going out just now. Do you want me to go out and look for my uncle?"

It was the middle of the dog days, and even though the sun had gone down, it was still as steamy outside, damp and stuffy. She had just taken a bath and didn't like to go out.

"He went out for a walk and came back. Do you still have the melon from just now? Cut a few more pieces and I'll eat them to quench my thirst."

Ziyun had no choice but to get the ice melon.

It was ice cold. Jingshu ate two pieces happily and felt refreshed all over.

After eating, Jingshu leaned on the couch and picked up a book and flipped through it casually.

Although she hurt Li Ling unintentionally, she still felt a little sorry when she saw that Li Ling was really angry.

It's just that she won't pamper him like she did in her previous life, and she won't go out to look for him. But he is angry because of her, and she can't act like nothing is wrong.

At least, make a show of waiting for him to come back.

But after waiting and waiting, Li Ling didn't come back.

Ziyun couldn't hold back her anger. She couldn't help but worry about her master. She had a quarrel with her uncle as soon as he entered the house. If she lost the favor of the prince because of this, it wouldn't be her own lady who would suffer.

Ziyun called Zhu Dan and Bilu and asked, "Where did you go when you met my uncle outside just now?"

"I seem to have gone to the North Study Room." Bilu replied.

Ziyun looked at Jingshu and persuaded: "Yinu, it's better for me to go to the study to look for my uncle. If you give me a step down, I will naturally stop worrying about you."

Jing Shu glanced at him and revealed that he was not coming back at this hour. It seemed that he had no intention of coming back.

They were newlyweds, and he was snubbing her like this. He clearly didn't care that the people in the palace were laughing at her because she, as a bride, was not popular with her husband.

Then she has nothing to worry about.

Jing Shu put down the book in her hand, pointed to the quilt on the bed, and said: "You guys will take my uncle's quilt to the study later. It's already so late and he hasn't come back yet. He probably has some official business to deal with urgently."

.He comes home late and wants to disturb my sleep, so let him sleep in the study tonight."

After hearing Jingshu's words, the little girls were stunned and stunned.

"Miss, how is this possible?" Seeing that the young lady was at odds with her uncle, Ziyun felt anxious.

Jingshu's eyes flashed with anger: "Just let you go. If the prince asks, I will give him my exact words."

Although her young lady looked weak, she had a stubborn temper. Seeing Jingshu's unkind expression, Ziyun did not dare to persuade her anymore, so she called two little girls and asked, "Who will send you off?"

Ziyun was really jealous of this uncle, and she didn't dare to get into trouble.

"The cicada on the tree outside was screaming loudly, disturbing the young lady's sleep, so I went to kill the cicada." With that, Danzhu ran out like a whirlwind.

Before Bilui could react, Ziyun quickly handed the quilt to her: "Then you go."

"I, I"

When you see my uncle getting scared, aren't you afraid of me? I'm still so young!

Bilu didn't want to go.

It is said that a strong general has no weak soldiers. Why do these few confidants in his hands seem to be more useless than the others?

"Go ahead, just say it's what I mean, can he still make it difficult for you, a little girl?" Jing Shu saw Bilu being coy and motionless, and although she was angry, she still wanted to cheer her up.

After lingering for a while, Bilu reluctantly hugged the quilt and walked out of the room, heading towards the north study room.

Ziyun fanned Jingshu, but she still felt uneasy: What would happen if the prince, a proud man like his young lady, never came back in the future?

After a while, Bilui came back with a pouted mouth. Ziyun called her and asked, "You just went to the study to deliver the quilt. Did my uncle say anything?"

Bilu was still feeling aggrieved about what had just happened, and replied with a sullen face: "My uncle didn't say anything, but he looked not very good. Sister, it's true, you asked me to do such a thing, and it scared me just now.

.”

Ziyun asked her to go to bed first, then turned around and couldn't help but persuade Jingshu: "Miss, you can just have a few words with my uncle, why do you have to drive people out? My uncle must be annoyed, why not

I will accompany you to bring my uncle back."

"If he wanted to come back, he would have come back long ago. If he didn't want to come back, what's the point of asking him to come back."

Ziyun wanted to persuade her again. Jingshu turned around and said, "I'm sleepy. You guys should go and sleep."

After breakfast the next day, Jingshu took Ziyun to the front yard to greet the old lady. Before they arrived at Anxi Hall, she saw a tall figure standing under a tree from a distance.

It's like waiting for someone.

Ziyun's eyes were sharp and he quickly whispered in Jingshu's ear: "My uncle must be waiting for you. It's rare that my uncle can put down his posture and beg for your kindness in disguise. You must stop it and stop making trouble."

She didn't have to make a big fuss with him, she just didn't want to follow in the footsteps of her previous life. If Li Ling respected her, she would naturally give him face.

At least in front of outsiders, she will play the role of his good wife.

Jing Shu walked forward slowly, bowed slightly to Li Ling, and asked with a smile: "It's so early, Master, why don't you go in?"

Today she was wearing a light pink gauze skirt. Such a fresh color made her skin as white as fat.

The little woman Tingting stood in front of him, with no trace of displeasure on her bright face.

Li Ling didn't get a good sleep last night. The bride actually used such tactful means to shut him out. He was so annoyed that he didn't want to sleep. In the second half of the night, he finally couldn't stand it anymore and became sleepy. He was harassed by mosquitoes again.

Although there was a bed, there was no mosquito net, so mosquitoes buzzed around him that night.

There was a circle of darkness under his eyes.

It looked like her face was full of spring breeze, and her complexion seemed to be better than usual.

Li Ling replied with a cold face: "I came early, and I was afraid that my grandmother wouldn't get up yet, so I waited outside for a while."

It turned out that she was just being sentimental and he wasn't waiting for her on purpose!

"Oh, the sun is getting hotter, and I'm afraid of the heat, so I'll go in first and wait for my grandmother." After saying that, Jingshu left Li Ling behind and walked slowly towards Anxi Hall.

Seeing that his wife had just left, Li Ling spread his long legs and followed her into Anxi Hall not far away.

Mrs. Li has not felt well since she fell asleep. She has taken some conditioning medicine in the past few days and feels better.

Li Ling and Jing Shu greeted the old lady with greetings.

Since the old lady became ill, she has concentrated on recuperating and has spared the younger generations from coming to pay her respects. Today, I saw my grandson and granddaughter-in-law being the first to come to pay my respects. I felt very comforted.

The two sat down next to each other under the old lady.

Mrs. Li looked at her grandson and saw that there were several marks of mosquito bites on his face. She asked distressedly: "Don't you have a mosquito net in your room? Why did he get bitten like this?"

When I saw my grandson-in-law, she was completely clean.

How could a mosquito avoid biting one with such thin skin and tender flesh, but choose to eat one with rough skin and thick flesh?

My grandson didn't look well when he saw him.

The old lady guessed it in her heart.

Grandma was a careful and shrewd person, so Li Ling knew he couldn't hide it, so he had to say perfunctorily: "There was a lot of business yesterday, and my grandson was busy in the study until midnight. He was afraid that he would go back and disturb the bride, so he spent the night in the study."

Mrs. Li saw through the young couple's matter and didn't want to say anything about it. She took advantage of the situation and told her: "No matter how busy you are, you must pay attention to your health. How can you sleep in the study? Go back to the room early tonight and get a good night's sleep."

This is my grandmother's order.

Ask him to go back to his room.

You must listen to what the elders say!

Just as Li Ling was about to say yes, Jing Shu on the side said respectfully to the old lady: "My husband is really busy with official duties these days, but my granddaughter-in-law neglected to take care of me. After a while, my daughter-in-law ordered someone to go to the study to hang up the mosquito net, so that my husband

If you are tired or sleepy, you can take a rest there for a while.”

Li Ling: "."

Is she going to shut him out completely?

She calls her "husband" every time, and she is very affectionate in front of outsiders. She also speaks thoughtfully, just like a good wife.

When the old lady saw her grandson's virtuous daughter-in-law, there was no reason why she would not be displeased. She smiled and said, "You and your wife respect and love each other. This is the best filial piety to this old lady like me."

After that, she turned back to Grandma Sun, who was serving as her personal attendant, and said, "There is a piece of fine blue water and snow satin in the cabinet in the inner room. I think the color matches Shu'er. You can bring it back to Shu'er to make clothes."

stop."

After a while, Grandma Sun took the satin and gave it to Jingshu.

Jingshu quickly stood up and took it, thanking the old lady.

"Grandma, I'm here to see you." Jing Shu was chatting with the old lady when the third girl, Jin Yan, ran in from outside.

When the old lady saw her little granddaughter, she hugged her in her arms and said angrily: "You are so old and you are jumping around and you don't know how to behave. Why don't you say hello to your brother and sister-in-law when you see her?"

The third girl broke away from the old lady's arms and said sharply: "Yan'er has met the second brother and the second sister-in-law."

She saw a piece of snow satin lying on the tea table next to Jingshu, her big eyes rolled darkly, and she turned to the old lady and asked: "Didn't my grandmother say that day that she would give me a piece of snow satin to make clothes for me?"

Why did you change your mind again and give it to your second sister-in-law?"

"Grandma is partial." The third girl pouted.

"There is also a red horse in grandma's house. I'll give that one to you."

"I don't want the red ones, I like the cyan ones." Children always think other people's things are better, and the third girl is the same.

"You're a kid, what kind of snow satin are you wearing?" Li Ling, who had been sitting silently, said with a stern face.

The third girl was pampered and pampered and grew up. Although she was usually afraid of her cold brother, with her grandmother, she had someone to support her, which naturally made her bolder.

"My second brother doesn't care for my sister anymore when he has a wife. He snatched the coral string from me a while ago, and today he came to snatch the satin again. Grandma, look at him, how annoying he is." As he said this, the little girl felt so wronged that she was about to cry.

As if.

Jing Shu was a little embarrassed, not because she was reluctant to give this satin to her sister-in-law, but because her grandmother had just given it to her, and if she gave it away easily, she would be somewhat sorry for the old man's feelings.

"Don't be upset, Jin'er, we both share half of this piece of satin," Jing Shu said with a smile.

The third girl still pouted: the good things in the house always come to her first, so why should she share them with this new sister-in-law?

She was not convinced.

But looking at the sullen brother sitting next to Jingshu, the third girl did not dare to get angry with her new sister-in-law.

"There is a tailor shop over there on Hexi Road. They make dresses in novel styles. I will take you there someday. Let's ask their tailor to make us new styles of skirts, okay?"

When I heard that I was taking her out of the house and that I was going to make a new style of dress, the third girl was interested.

With sparkles in her eyes, she walked up to Jingshu and asked, "Is what the second sister-in-law said true?"

Her biological mother, who is a princess, is not in the palace, and Mrs. Li doesn't go out often. Although she has everything she needs, she rarely has the opportunity to go out and play.

Jingshu nodded.

Children are naturally playful and lively. When Jingshu said that she wanted to take her out of the house, she completely forgot about her unhappiness and smiled brightly at Jingshu: "It's better to be my sister-in-law."

After leaving Anxi Hall, Li Ling was going to the Yamen, and Jing Shu was going back to Qingfeng Garden. Before parting ways with Li Ling, she stood at the door of the courtyard and smiled and said to him: "My husband has worked hard on errands, so come back early in the evening."

She has a nice smile and still looks like a good wife.

But the sentence "come back early in the evening." didn't mean half the truth.

Li Ling is not stupid, why can't you hear it? She said this to the servants outside Anxi Hall, not to him.

He remained sullen, only nodded slightly towards her, turned around and strode out of the door.

Li Ling: Madam, do you know what you look like?

Jingshu:???

Li Ling: Actor.
