The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 96 Li Ling rejects Qingluan (2)

Li Ling looked at him and said, "We all know that it's not easy for you in the palace, but you can't just resent the Duke of Zhenguo or your little aunt just because of this. Looking from afar, which aristocratic family in Beijing can have independent marriages?

?”

Just when Li Ling was halfway through her words, Qingluan interrupted her and said, "Then why can Ms. Shen make the decision on her own? How can she marry the person she likes?"

Li Ling ignored her paranoia and just patiently reasoned with her: "Since you are a princess, you must have the dignity of a princess. Now that you have grown up, you cannot follow your own temper. Do you understand?"

Li Ling sighed and continued: "I know what you are thinking."

After hearing what Li Ling said, Qingluan suddenly raised his head, looked at Li Ling and said: "Cousin, you know me."

Li Ling quickly waved his hand to signal her to shut up, and said earnestly: "You should understand the seriousness of this matter. The seventh princess who was locked in the palace and harmed the royal family's face is a lesson learned from the past. Back then, the guard who caused the scandal with him was also a nobleman.

My son, just because of this incident, lost his head, and hundreds of people in the family were exiled. Even the seventh princess herself suffered deeply. The Holy Spirit thought of her mother's family, although he did not issue a decree to kill her.

, but she can only be locked in that shameful palace for the rest of her life."

"How can there be a happy future?"

Qingluan looked at Li Ling with wet eyes and said: "Cousin, I just want to know what do you like about Ms. Shen? Is it just because she is beautiful?"

Li Ling has never felt so tired. It is unreasonable that this cousin is so ignorant. Li Ling really has some doubts about how his little aunt, who was so smart at the time, could give birth to such a stupid child.

My daughter is coming.

He is a man of few words and is not good at reasoning with others. Even to his own brothers and sisters, when they make mistakes, he just screams. He said this to his cousin so sincerely today because

He knew in his heart that apart from him, no one would care about her future and have such a serious discussion with her.

But Qingluan couldn't understand Li Ling's heart breaking down towards her at this moment. She looked at him eagerly, and still asked reluctantly: "Cousin, tell me? What do you like about Mr. Shen?"

Li Lingqiang replied patiently: "I like everything about her."

After hearing this, Qingluan couldn't help crying sadly again. She choked and said: "Cousin, do you know that you were deceived by that Shen family? She clearly fell into the water on purpose and wanted to be rescued by you.

Then she pestered you, why are you so stupid that you were deceived by her?"

Before Qingluan finished speaking, Li Ling replied: "She didn't fall into the water on purpose, and I didn't mean to save her. Although I'm not a bad person, I'm not willing to jump in to save any girl who falls into the water."

"Cousin-" Qingluan looked at Li Ling in surprise.

"Okay, it's getting late. I'll order Ling Xiao to take you back."

Qingluan still refused to give up. She cried and said to Li Ling: "Even if you like Shen, do you really not care about me?"

Li Ling replied: "She is my wife and you are my sister. There is no contradiction between me doting on her and protecting you. You are my aunt's flesh and blood, and this town's Duke's Mansion is your support. Don't worry, no matter what,

I will not leave you alone until you surrender. I also sincerely hope that you will marry a good man and live a smooth life in the future."

Qingluan cried and said: "Cousin, you know that I don't want to marry anyone else at all. I don't like anyone except you."

After saying that, she stepped forward and begged Li Ling in tears: "Cousin, even if you really like Shen, I don't care. I just ask you not to ignore me. When I am a queen, you can go and talk to your father."

Please let me marry you. I don’t have to force you to divorce Shen. I will follow the example of Ehuang Nüying and be by your side, okay?"

The fists under Li Lingguang's sleeves clenched loudly. Fortunately, the person in front of him was just his cousin, who was a bit worse. If his sister had said such shameless words, he would have wanted to beat her to death on the spot.

Li Ling forced himself to endure it. It took him a long time to suppress the anger boiling in his chest, and he looked at Qingluan.

The cold gaze made Qingluan take two steps back subconsciously.

"I'm sorry, I promised Shu'er that I would never accept another woman from her again in this life."

After Li Ling said coldly to Qingluan, he strode out of the study.

In Qingfeng Garden, Jingshu, who was longing for Li Ling, was immersed in accounting. She and Li Ling were about to go on a long trip, and before leaving, she had to make arrangements for the important things in the house.

She was busy when Ziyun came in and replied: "Miss, the third master is outside asking for a meeting."

Jingshu raised her head and hurriedly replied: "Invite him in quickly."

After a while, Li Xiang walked through the door, and Jing Shu greeted: "Third brother, please take a seat."

Li Ling stood at the door and replied: "I was going to come here during the day because I went to the Princess Mansion to visit my mother and came back late after having dinner there. I only came to visit my second sister-in-law at night. I hope my second sister-in-law won't take offense."

Jing Shu smiled and said: "Third brother, you're welcome. I heard from your second brother that you will go back to the camp tomorrow morning, but are there any unsolved matters that you want to see me for?"

Li Xiang smiled and nodded: "I can't hide anything from my second sister-in-law." As he said that, he took out a letter from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Ziyun beside him, and said: "I wrote this to Jiao Xing, please excuse me.

Second sister-in-law will give it to her on my behalf."

Ziyun handed the letter to Jingshu. Jingshu took it in her hand and asked doubtfully: "She can read?"

Li Ling's face turned red with embarrassment and he hesitated: "She knows how to read. I taught her how to read when she was working in my yard."

I really didn't expect Li Xiang to treat that little girl so sincerely. Jingshu put the letter down and nodded silently: "I will give this letter to her when I find a chance. I will go to the camp tomorrow morning, so you can go back first."

Li Xiang bowed deeply towards Jingshu: "In this case, I will trouble my second sister-in-law."

Jingshu replied: "You're welcome, second brother." Seeing Li Xiang's hesitant and uneasy look, Jingshu said: "Don't worry, I will order someone to take good care of that girl. You can rest assured."

Just make good progress in the army."

Hearing what Jing Shu said, Li Xiang finally felt at ease. He smiled gratefully at Jing Shu: "Thank you, second sister-in-law."

After Li Xiang left, Jing Shu couldn't help but feel sad when she looked at the letter.

At first, she just felt pity for the girl who would die if she was kicked out of the house, so she begged Li Ling to send her to Zhuangzi. She originally thought that when Li Xiang turned the page, she would do it for the girl.

It is better to find a suitable person to marry than to have a dangerous future for her wandering around.

But she never thought that Li Ling was so affectionate towards the girl and refused to let her go. She couldn't bear to separate the loving couple, but in the future when Li Xiang got married, this matter would also be a problem.
