The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 112 You have to save face in front of outsiders
In the early morning of the second day when the two of them packed up, Li Ling was going to bid farewell to Zhang Chao. Before leaving the house, his little wife angrily warned him: "If he really wants to give you some singer and dancer, you are not allowed to accept it."

Li Ling scraped the tip of his wife's nose with his fingers, and said with a smile, "She was a good wife last night, and she became a shrew again after only one night?"

The little wife gave him a blank look: "If you dare to take it, see how I deal with you."

Li Ling joked with a smile: "There is such a fierce wife in my family, not to mention giving me a singer and dancer, even if Zhang Chao got me a Nine Heavens Xuannv, I wouldn't dare to take it."

As he said that, he patted his wife on the shoulder and said softly: "Pick up quickly, we will go on the road after Zhang Chao and I bid farewell. The guards are still in the official post, let's go there for breakfast, which will save money." time, hurry to the city ahead before dark."

After finishing speaking, Li Ling turned around and went out the door.

Jing Shu looked at her husband's back with a satisfied smile on her face.

She strolled to the window, staring at her husband reluctantly, but saw Li Ling had just walked to the corner door, and then a graceful figure flashed out from outside and greeted Li Ling.

Jing Shu looked intently, it was the dancer named Cai Ling last night.

She stood in front of Li Ling, but she did not leave after saluting Li Ling, but stood there talking with Li Ling.

After a while, Zhang Chao also came from the outside, standing at the corner gate and chatting with Li Ling. I don't know what Zhang Chao and Li Ling said, so the dancer looked straight at Li Ling.

The smile on Jing Shu's face suddenly froze.

She pushed the door and walked towards several people.

Li Ling and Zhang Chao turned their backs to her and didn't see her coming out. The dancing girl was preoccupied and didn't notice her.

When Jing Shu got closer, she vaguely heard Zhang Chao's words: "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and I want to stay with you for a few more days."

Li Ling replied: "There is a business trip, so there is no delay."

Zhang Chao sighed and said, "If that's the case, I won't be able to keep you."

He glanced at the dancer at the side again: "Your Li family's swordsmanship is famous all over the world. It's rare that a little girl like Cailing also understands swords, so I'll give her to you. I didn't even go to the ceremony when you got married, so I'll take it as my responsibility." A little thought."

Although it is common for nobles to send prostitutes to concubines, they have never seen Zhang Chao like this.

Send Ji daughter as a friend's wedding.

What's more, she, a straight lady, is still here, so she has no fear at all.

Before Li Ling could reply, Jing Shu said, "General Zhang is really a man of courtesy."

Several people turned their heads together and noticed Jing Shu.

Li Ling asked, "It's so cold in the morning, what are you doing out here?"

Jingshu gave him a dark look, and said lightly: "I came here by myself, has it delayed your conversation?"

As she spoke, she cast a deep glance at Cai Ling, who was half blushing beside her.

Li Ling looked at his wife and replied, "I'm saying goodbye to brother Zhang, you go back and wait for me."

Anyone with eyes can see Jingshu's displeasure. Zhang Chao guessed that she must have heard what he said just now when he was about to send a woman to Li Ling. You are in a hurry."

"General Zhang is so hospitable and considerate, I and my husband are very grateful."

Jing Shu Tete bit the word "thoughtful" very clearly, although she smiled and said Yan Yan to Zhang Chao on the face, but there was a touch of irony in her tone.

Zhang Chao replied with an embarrassed smile: "If there is any negligence, please ask Mrs. Haihan."

Jing Shu still had a smiling face: "General Zhang and his wife are very considerate, and there is no room for negligence."

As she said that, she set her eyes on Cailing: "Besides, the general is so generous, I will give it away when Meiji says so."

Zhang Chao's face turned red, and he faltered: "Sister-in-law, please don't misunderstand."

Jingshu snorted coldly: "It's a pity that my poor husband is not good at singing and dancing. Waiting for Meiji to send him off is really a waste of money."

"General Zhang, let's keep it for himself."

As she spoke, she glanced at Cailing who was standing beside her with her head bowed deeply, then turned to Li Ling and said, "Husband, please say goodbye to General Zhang, my concubine will go back to clean up first."

After finishing speaking, Jing Shu left a few people behind and walked towards the house slowly.

After returning to the house, she stood by the window and looked at the three of them, only to see that Zhang Chao sent Cailing away first, and then he and Li Ling stood chatting for a while before leaving.

Seeing Li Ling walking towards the house, Jing Shu hurriedly moved away from the window, wandering around to pack her luggage.

After Li Ling entered the room, he had a gloomy face. He walked up to his wife and reproached him under his breath, "What were you doing just now?"

Jing Shu raised her head and asked innocently: "I just went out to thank General Zhang, is there anything wrong?"

Li Ling stared at his wife and reprimanded him in a cold voice: "I really spoiled you, you are so self-willed and rude, and you don't know how to save face in front of outsiders."

Jingshu "tssed": "Then I accepted the female concubine that Zhang Chao sent for you, is it to save face for you?"

Li Ling suppressed his voice and said, "Shut up!"

Seeing that he was angry, Jing Shu also worried that it would be bad to argue with him here, so she simply kept her mouth shut, but she showed a neither salty nor indifferent look on her face.

Seeing his wife's attitude, Li Ling was so angry that he walked back and forth on the ground for two steps with his hands behind his back, and standing in front of his wife, he couldn't help but reprimanded him: "I warn you, when you see Zhang Chao when you leave later, please restrain yourself. If you continue to be so presumptuous, I'll see how I can teach you a lesson later!"

Jing Shu replied indifferently: "It's not up to me, if he puts women on you in front of me without any regard for face, I would be polite to show him face."

She rolled her eyes at Li Ling: "It made me angry, I just scold him face to face, it's possible."

"You—" Li Ling was so angry that his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and stared at his wife: "Don't think that I am really reluctant to teach you a lesson. If you really dare to show me face in front of outsiders, you won't be able to save face like this. I will blame you."

"I won't be soft!"

Jing Shu snorted coldly and said: "Master Shizi is really amazing, want to beat his wife? Did you learn from your elder brother?"

Li Ling said harshly: "You are so delicate and rude, why shouldn't you hit me?"

The two were quarreling here, when there was a knock on the door, it was Mrs. Ma's voice: "Mrs. Shen, are you there?"

Li Ling glanced out, and Youyou warned Jingshu in a low voice worriedly: "Restrain me."

Jing Shu snorted coldly and gave him a blank look, got up and walked out the door: "I'm here"

With that said, she opened the door.

It was Zhang Chao and his wife Ma Shi.

Zhang Chao stood on the porch, Madam Ma stood outside the door, holding two food boxes, said with a smile: "I heard from my humble husband that General Li and Madam Li are leaving soon? Why don't you stay for a few more days when you come here so easily?"

Jing Shu smiled and nodded towards Mrs. Ma: "I am in a hurry, staying for a day is already causing trouble to the family."

The two exchanged pleasantries and walked into the house. Jing Shu turned her head to look at Zhang Chao who was still standing in the corridor, and asked in a neutral tone, "Why doesn't General Zhang come in?"

Li Lingsheng was afraid that his little wife would do something that would disgrace him in front of his brother again, so before Zhang Chao could speak, Li Ling hurriedly said: "You and Mrs. Ma can talk in the room, brother Zhang and I will go outside for a walk." .”
