The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 78 When I say nothing happens, I mean something happens

After leaving Anxi Hall, brothers Li Ling and Li Xian walked side by side in front, with Jing Shu and Xu Wanning following behind.

Xu Wanning said casually: "It's been a tiring day. I wonder how long cousin Huang will stay here?"

Although her voice was not loud, because the people in front of her were not far away, she could naturally hear her clearly. After hearing this, Li Xian's expression darkened, and he turned back and rolled his eyes at Xu Wanning.

Li Ling also turned around, but he looked at Jing Shu.

Although Xu Wanning had an upright temperament, she was not ignorant of the importance. She knew she had made a mistake, so she kept her mouth shut. They all had their own thoughts and were speechless all the way until they reached a fork in the road before heading towards their residences.

Li Ling slowed down his pace to accommodate Jing Shu. In the dark night, the hand under his wide sleeve held Jing Shu's hand, but she silently pulled it away.

After entering the house, Jingshu called Ziyun to take a bath and remove her makeup, then went to bed. Li Ling followed her and went to bed after washing up. He put his arms around his wife and asked, "What's wrong? I see you've been feeling depressed."

Jingshu took his hand away and turned her back: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired today."

Li Ling came forward, hugged her from behind, leaned into her ear and asked, "Are you unhappy because of Qingluan?"

Jingshu said dullly: "No."

Li Ling asked: "Really not?"

Jingshu repeated impatiently: "Didn't everyone say it's gone? I'm sleepy, don't nag me here anymore." After that, she closed her eyes.

Li Ling let go of her, lay back on the pillow, closed his eyes, and said no more words.

Just when he was about to fall asleep, one of his ears was picked up violently, and a burst of heartbreaking pain disturbed his sleep.

Li Ling covered his ears with an "ouch", grinned and looked at his little wife beside him, and said angrily: "What are you doing? Such a cruel move."

Jingshu sat up with a huff, stared at him and asked, "Are you really so heartless that you want to fall asleep?"

As she said that, she kicked Li Ling with her jade foot: "You haven't explained it clearly to me. Are you going to sleep? Do you have me in your heart?"

A series of crackling questions confused Li Ling again. He said with an innocent look on his face: "I asked just now, didn't you say 'it's okay'? Aren't you going to sleep?"

Jing Shu was so angry that she stepped forward and grabbed his ears fiercely, gritted her teeth and said, "Is it okay if I say it's okay?"

Li Ling gasped in pain, broke away from her hand, covered his ears and defended, "I asked you, you repeatedly said it was okay."

Jing Shu angrily said: "You are stupid, will it be okay if I say it's okay?"

"When I say nothing happens, I mean something happens."

As she said that, she couldn't help but kicked him again: "Can't you hear that?"

How could a straight man like Li Ling understand such a profound thought? Now, he was completely confused.

He sat aside and tried hard to think about what his young wife had said. He was really puzzled.

Seeing his ignorant and stupid look, Jing Shu was so angry that she just wanted to beat him up.

I saw my little wife whirring with anger, like a little hedgehog, with all the thorns on her body standing up, as if she might rush over and pierce him into a sieve at any time.

He stepped forward and hugged her with a sneer: "What happened? Where did I go wrong? Madam, even if she is right, why should she be so angry?"

Jing Shu angrily took away his hand and asked with a straight face: "Didn't you say that you don't have any feelings for her at all? Why are you still picking fruits for her?"

After hearing this, Li Ling let out a long breath.

Jing Shu's almond-shaped eyes were slightly angry, and she stared at him and asked, "Why are you sighing? Are you blaming me for unjustly accusing you?"

Li Ling said quickly: "No." Seeing her turning her head away angrily, Li Ling stepped forward to hold her and explained: "I don't mean to blame you."

Seeing that his young wife still had a straight face, Li Ling scratched his head and said to her: "I really don't remember these things Qingluan said." After saying that, he took his wife's hand again and said aggrievedly.

: "It's really not that I want to hide it from you. I really don't remember it."

Jingshu turned her head and asked: "Then did you pick fruits for her?" She snorted coldly: "No wonder the last time I went to my house, I said I used to climb trees to pick fruits, so you said you used to climb trees too.

, all my feelings are spent picking fruits for her."

"For her, you are really considerate."

As she spoke, her voice became choked with sobs, as if she was about to cry because of her grievance.

Li Ling panicked when he saw his young wife like this. He explained incoherently: "I did go to the tree to pick fruits, but not just for her. There is a large fruit forest at my mother's place. Every time I go there, I will pick it."

Some of the things my mother likes to eat are given to her personally."

He paused and then explained: "There are many fruit trees in our back garden. When I was a child, when the fruits were ripe, I would climb the trees and pick them for my third brother and sister to eat.

I also picked it for my second cousin."

Seeing that his wife's expression finally softened, Li Ling felt a little more at ease. He put his arms around his wife and said, "If you don't like it, I won't climb trees to pick fruits for them in the future. Alas! Besides, I'm busy with errands now, so I can't

I don’t have that much free time. Thinking about those things in the past, it seems like eight hundred years have passed.”

Jing Shu looked sideways at him, her tone softened, and she said earnestly: "It's not that I won't let you go up the tree to pick fruits for everyone."

She knew that her man was stupid and was afraid that he would not understand. She repeated: "You can pick it for others, but you are not allowed to pick it for Qingluan. Do you understand?"

Thinking about Qingluan saying this in front of her today, she became angry.

Although she also knew that Qingluan was deliberately making fun of her and protesting against her, she still couldn't help but get angry when she thought of Li Ling doing such a thing for her.

Li Ling hurriedly replied: "I understand, let alone picking fruits from now on, even if I meet her, I will talk to her less."

Hearing what he said, Jingshu's heart finally became enlightened. She lay down again and murmured: "It's great that you have this awareness!"

Li Ling saw that his little wife had finally opened her eyes, and he tucked her up diligently, and continued to flatter him as if he wanted to hear it: "Don't be upset, my cousin will leave after staying here for a few days. She will have hair extensions in a while."

, At that time, Your Majesty will also make arrangements to choose a husband for her. When she gets married and has someone to rely on, my grandmother and I will not have to worry about everything."

Jingshu smiled slightly and muttered: "She should get married soon. I don't want my man to always worry about other women."

"From now on, I will only worry about you." After saying that, Li Ling leaned on her.

He leaned close to her ear and coaxed in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of anything. What I'm most afraid of is that you will be angry."

Jing Shu said coquettishly: "Did I scare you again just now?"

Li Ling k

That night, the little woman was as enthusiastic as fire, and Li Ling was even more energetic.

The next day, when Li Ling got up, the little woman was sleeping soundly. When he returned from practicing martial arts, the little woman was still sleeping soundly. After breakfast was served, the little woman still could not get up.

Li Ling had breakfast by himself, and before going out, he told Ziyun, "I'll cook some bird's nest porridge for Madam later."

Ziyun happily agreed and went to the kitchen.

When she came back with the warm bird's nest porridge, she happened to bump into Qingluan who had just stepped through the gate of Qingfeng Garden.
