The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 1 She wants to divorce
Recently, in the city of Chang'an, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, down to the traffickers and pawns, are talking about an exciting event in their spare time.

When the Xiongnu invaded the country, Li Ling, the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, was invincible, repelled the barbarians, and returned to the court victoriously.

Today, the Duke of Zhen's mansion is full of joy, and everyone in the whole manor is looking forward to the return of the eldest son who has brought the highest glory to the manor.

This is the honor of a husband and wife.But Li Ling's lovely wife, Shen Shi, was extremely sad and depressed after staying in the room for several months.

The maid Dan Zhu came in from the outside and saw the master crying silently at the window again, she stepped forward slowly, handed over the handkerchief, and persuaded: "Miss just finished confinement, she always cries, it will hurt her eyes."

Shen Jingshu tried to dry her tears and asked, "Is the son here?"

Dan Zhu nodded: "The army is stationed outside the city, my uncle came back with a team of personal guards, and is now at the old lady's side."

Li Ling is the most disciplined.She didn't expect him to break the rules and come to see her who had just had a miscarriage: "Help me clean up, let's go over here."

He could not visit her, but as a good wife, she had to go to greet her husband.

When Jing Shu came to the old lady's Anxi Hall, Li Ling was indeed there, chatting with his grandmother and father Zhen Guogong.

I haven't seen him for half a year, his resolute face is darker and thinner, but he has become more mature and stable through experience, and his whole body exudes the unique masculinity of a general.

Because of winning the battle, the whole person looks very high-spirited and refreshed.

Seeing his daughter-in-law coming in, the old lady greeted her, "Shu'er is weak, sit down quickly."

She had just had a miscarriage, so she was naturally weak, and she felt a little short of breath after walking this distance. After seeing the ceremony, Jing Shu sat down under the old lady.

Seeing his wife coming in, Li Ling only glanced at her lightly, then continued to chat with his father about the war.

In such a situation, Jing Shu naturally wouldn't intervene, and just quietly sat aside and waited.

When the Duke was young, he was the number one brave general in Daqi.Although he has retired due to illness, he is still full of passion and fascination when listening to his son talk about the war.

The father and son were having a good time chatting, the old lady interrupted: "You two will have plenty of time to talk about these matters in the future, it's getting late, let Brother Ling and his wife go back and rest first."

Hearing the mother's reminder, the Duke of the country realized it later, and said to his son: "You go back first, let's talk slowly later."

Li Ling replied: "I miss my family, so I came back on the way to have a look, now I have to rush to the palace to meet the saint."

There is a country before a home!The Duke urged his son, "Then go, don't delay at home."

Li Ling stood up and bowed to his grandmother and father to leave.

Mrs. Li looked at her grandson, then at her grandson-in-law, and said to Li Ling, "Let Shu'er take you to the door."

"No need." Li Ling then looked at his wife, still with an indifferent face: "You go back first, I will go back after I meet the saint."

As he spoke, he walked out of Anxi Hall with big strides, and his slender figure disappeared from sight in an instant.

In a hurry, he didn't say a word about her miscarriage.

Even if he hasn't seen him for more than half a year, he won't miss him.Although Jing Shu was unhappy about his indifference, she would not show it at all in front of her elders.Jingshu chatted with the old lady for a while before returning to her Qingfengyuan.

Jing Shu has been married to Li Ling for five years. Everyone envies her for marrying a man who is upright and upright, but she lives behind closed doors, but only she knows what it feels like.

Li Ling has a dull temper and is cold.Since marrying him, except for the privacy of the bed, he has not shown any enthusiasm for her.

It's not all his fault. She accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by Li Ling. Since then, she has lost her reputation as a boudoir. Li Ling had no choice but to marry her out of responsibility.

Although she is also the eldest daughter of an official family, but compared to the famous Zhen Guogong's mansion, she is a real climber.Therefore, since she got married, it has been rumored that she didn't love herself at the beginning, and she didn't hesitate to ruin her boudoir and fell into the water on purpose, and she was forced to rely on Li Ling's wishful thinking.

Because of this, she couldn't hold her head up in the circle of ladies, and she felt even more guilty towards Li Ling, who was upright.So since she married Li Ling, she has always been cautious in front of him, fawning on him, pleasing him, acting on his face, and humble herself in the dust.

She hoped that after a long time, she would slowly warm his heart.

Until half a year ago, he asked for an order to go out.Only then did she realize that she would never be able to cover his heart.

Because, his heart is not on her at all.

One year ago, when the Huns invaded the country, the Holy Majesty ordered the general Zhou Yi to be the marshal, leading an army of 50 to fight. Unexpectedly, the army was repeatedly frustrated in the battle.Even General Changsheng was defeated, and the people in the court were panicked for a while, and no one dared to ask for orders to go to war.The Holy Majesty was worried about hurting the country, so he agreed to make peace with the Huns in exchange for peace.

But the choice of the relatives is the Nine Princesses Qingluan.

It was for this reason that Li Ling asked for the decree.

Qingluan's biological mother, Concubine Shu, who passed away, was Li Ling's biological aunt, and he had always taken good care of this princess' little cousin.Regarding the rumors about the two of them, Jing Shu naturally also heard: If it hadn't been for the incident that happened back then, Li Ling would have wanted Princess Shang Jiu.

She was only dubious before, thinking that with Li Ling's cold temper, there would be no such romances in her heart.Even if he really had the intention of honoring the Lord at the beginning, since he married her, those things will be over with his responsibilities.

After all, although he was cold on weekdays, he was always hot towards her in bed. If he didn't have her in his heart, how could he be like this?

Jing Shu deceived herself and took this as evidence that he had her in his heart.

But this time, seeing that he even risked his life for Qingluan.Only then did she realize that in her husband's heart, not only had the page about Qingluan not been turned over, but it was deeply ingrained and irreplaceable.

She was full of sincerity but in exchange for his selflessness towards others, how could Jingshu not be chilled?
Because of being aggrieved, the five-month-old child in her womb also had a miscarriage more than a month ago.

This was the child she had been expecting for many years, and it was gone!She was heartbroken and told Li Ling about this in a letter at home, but he didn't reply at all.

The willows are slightly above the moon, the night is quiet and lonely.Jingshu looked at the flickering candlelight, and the scenes of the past flashed before her eyes.

She sniffed, trying to hold back the tears.

It's so late and he hasn't come back yet.

Presumably there are other things bothering him after Miansheng.

I heard that Princess Ninth was so moved by this cousin who was "wrathful" for her, that she didn't even dislike him for being married. A while ago, she even asked the emperor to condescend to marry Li Ling as an equal wife.

As soon as Li Ling came back, he rushed to the palace in a hurry, probably also in a hurry to see Qingluan.

The Li Ling who was cold to her must be gentle to the delicate Ninth Princess, right?What would he say to her?Will he really agree to take her as his equal wife?

Jingshu's mind is full of pictures of Li Ling and Qingluan being together.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

Since he doesn't have her as a wife in his heart, what is she waiting for him?
Jing Shu pulled off the quilt and planned to go to sleep by herself, but she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

It's already midnight, and he hasn't returned yet!

Annoyed, Jing Shu threw off the quilt and got out of bed, sat down at the table, picked up a pen and wrote the letter and letter in one go.

She didn't want to live with this husband who didn't have her in his heart!
She wants to divorce!

Jing Shu looked at the written Heli book, thinking that Li Ling would be shocked if she resolutely gave him the Heli book, so she relieved her anger.

She let out a long breath of turbid air, and finally felt more comfortable, and lay back on the bed, and then gradually fell asleep.

In a daze, a pair of warm big hands wrapped around her waist.Then, her whole body was swept over.

It's Li Ling.

The resentment in Jingshu's heart was ignited all of a sudden, and she ruthlessly drew his hand holding her.

His little wife has always been docile, always following his wishes.Even in bed, he can do whatever he wants, and she will never disobey him.

Seeing her like this all of a sudden, Li Ling thought she had fallen asleep, so he bent down and said in a low voice, "It's me."

"How did you come back?"

Jingshu regretted it as soon as she asked this question, as if she cared about him so much.And seeing that Li Ling didn't intend to explain to her at all, she was even angrier.

Jing Shu struggled to get rid of Li Ling, sat up and pulled up her pajamas, and said sullenly, "Let's make up."

Li Ling blurted out and asked, "Why?"

He still has the face to ask why?Jing Shu turned her face away and did not answer.

Just because he was late?She has always been reasonable, not unreasonable.

That is because of miscarriage and bad mood.

This was their first child, and he could understand her anger at him because of the miscarriage.

Li Ling hugged her, his wife's already thin body became even thinner, and the bones could even be touched around the waist.He whispered in her ear with a hoarse voice: "there will be more children."

Jing Shu was surrounded by his familiar fiery breath, and her heart suddenly felt sore.

He didn't even know her mind!
She was naturally saddened by the loss of the child, but what made her saddest was more than that.

Jingshu whispered: "You have always had Qingluan in your heart, haven't you?"

She finally asked the words that had been held in her heart for a long time.

She felt Li Ling's hand holding her stiffen.

In the dark night, she couldn't see his expression, and after a long time, she heard him reply: "How can you say such a thing?"

The two were silent for a while, and Li Ling said, "If you're not feeling well, go to bed early." After speaking, he lay down with his back to her.

In fact, Jing Shu is not really determined to reconcile.After divorce, not only would she have a bad reputation, but it would also affect her natal family. She also had two unmarried younger sisters, which would definitely affect the marriage.

She didn't fully believe in the "equal wife".Li Ling is the most respectful person, and it is true that he has Qingluan in his heart, but Jingshu believes that with Li Ling's temperament, since he married her, he would not give up without reason, let alone hurt his wife Naping.

Most of what she said was out of anger.As long as Li Ling thought about her a little bit, explained to her, and said a few nice words to her, she would still have a glimmer of hope for him.

But he didn't say anything!

Is it the default?

Looking at Li Ling who was sleeping with her head buried, Jing Shu felt like a fish thrown in the sand, struggling desperately, but still being buried ruthlessly by the indifferent sand.

She was so aggrieved that she was about to suffocate.

Tears of grievance flowed down the corners of his eyes.

He completely extinguished her last sliver of hope for him with his indifference, she sniffed and said with a choked voice: "I have already drawn up the He Li letter, you can sign it tomorrow morning."

Li Lingfu got up again, knelt down in front of his wife and looked at her, and asked in surprise: "What's the matter with you?" As he spoke, he wanted to reach out to touch her forehead.

Jing Shu turned her head to avoid his hand.

Even in such a blurry night, Li Ling could still feel his wife's eyes shooting at him like knives, sharp and full of resentment.

The two of them stalemate for a long time before Li Ling opened his mouth and said, "Miscarriage hurts your body. I'll go to the palace tomorrow and invite an imperial doctor to take care of you."

After finishing speaking, he got out of bed, hugged his quilt, and said: "You have a good rest, I'll go to sleep in the study."

He really left, this night, never came back.
