The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 15 Could it be that their time together is short?
The mother-in-law outside told the legend: "The fourth master has arrived."

The old madam was aroused by the trouble caused by the third girl just now, and she said softly: "Let him in."

The crystal curtain moved slightly, and a young man stepped inside.

He is wearing a moon-white brocade robe, tall and thin, this is the fourth master Li Yu.

The fourth master Li Yu is different from Li Ling's handsome and dignified, and also different from the third master Li Xiang's handsome and jade-like beauty. He has a strong scholarly atmosphere, and there is a touch of melancholy hidden between his brows.

The third girl had just been reprimanded by Li Ling, so she naturally didn't dare to throw face at this concubine who she didn't like at the banquet. Although the others were not close to him, there was no need to make things difficult for him.With Xu Wanning, the eldest sister-in-law who is in a good mood today, talking and laughing, the family dinner was considered complete.

After the family banquet, it was already Liushao on the moon, and everyone retreated in twos and threes.

Jing Shu followed Li Ling to Qingfengyuan.

Walking halfway, Meizi, the eldest girl next to the third lady, caught up and replied to Jingshu: "Miss San asked the servant to tell the second lady that the old lady has agreed that you go to the deer park with Miss San, and Miss San asked you to go back and clean up. Said to leave at noon tomorrow."

It seems that the third girl mentioned this matter to the old lady after everyone had left. The granddaughter wanted to stay with her mother for a few days, so the old lady naturally didn't want to.

Jingshu replied: "Okay, you go back and tell the third girl that I will go with her tomorrow."

After Mei Zi left, Li Ling looked at Jing Shu and asked, "What's going on? Why do you want to go to Deer Park?"

Jing Shu then briefly told Li Ling about taking the third girl out to cut clothes today and meeting the eldest princess.

Li Ling didn't say much, and the two walked back to Qingfengyuan all the way in silence.

Jing Shu returned to the house and went into the inner room. After washing up, she saw Li Ling sitting on a chair and staring at her.

He looked at her like this because he had something to say.

Jing Shu asked, "Does Master Shi have something to say to my concubine?"

Li Ling asked: "Did you know that the second aunt was sent to the family temple by the grandmother?"

Li Ling didn't know how to chat with her about his family's affairs, so he suddenly asked her about his second aunt, there must be a reason.Jing Shu nodded and asked, "Why did Shizi ask this?"

Sure enough, Li Ling asked straight to the point: "Is it your idea for sister-in-law?"

Jingshu pretended to be confused and said: "What's the idea? The second aunt was sent to the family temple by the grandmother, so it has nothing to do with the sister-in-law." She glanced at Li Ling and sneered: "It's not about the concubine's business."

Li Ling replied: "How can you hide from me the eyebrow-eye lawsuit between you and sister-in-law at today's banquet? With sister-in-law's temper, how could she come up with such an idea?"

That second aunt, Mrs. Guo, relies on the old to sell the old, and relies on her mother-in-law to squeeze her daughter-in-law and take her flesh and blood, which is already annoying.

The idea is that she is not fake, but this is also the punishment that Mrs. Li deserves.

Now that he saw through it, Jing Shu stopped pretending, and simply replied: "What the son of the world says is what it is."

Seeing her displeasure, Li Ling got up and walked to her, explaining: "I don't mean to blame you, Second Aunt is really extreme when she does things sometimes, but she is an elder after all, we as juniors should be more considerate of her. "

It is true that she is an elder, but she must be "reasonable" in everything.

Jing Shu thought to herself: Li Ling can say such a thing, it can be seen that he is as stupid and filial as Li Xian.

Thanks to her eldest princess who disdains a mother-in-law who makes things difficult for her daughter-in-law, if she also encounters a difficult person like Guo, Li Linghe will definitely be like Li Xian, and will not consider her to support her. Her life is probably even more difficult than Xu Wanning's.

"Husband is right." Jing Shu didn't want to talk to Li Ling about this topic, so she lightly dropped this sentence, and went to bed by herself to rest.

Seeing Jing Shu's attitude, Li Ling was not very happy, but after the dispute between the two of them last time because they went to General Zhou's mansion to watch the ceremony, he also saw that his bride had ideas. He was perfunctory and negligent, but he was a little helpless towards her.

He just couldn't figure it out, since the grandmother's birthday party, the bride had treated him a little differently.

She seemed to have a lot of dissatisfaction with him, and she was defensive and alienated from him.

Jingshu was really tired after walking around with the third girl for a long time today. She was about to fall asleep. Go to sleep, but after Li Ling went to bed, he didn't see him lie down for a long time.

Jing Shu turned around and saw Li Ling sitting cross-legged beside her. She asked in surprise, "Why isn't your son sleeping?"

Li Ling remained silent, and stretched out his hand to pull her up.

There was limited space on the bed, and the two of them were facing each other. Li Ling's piercing breath was on Jing Shu's face, itching, which made her a little embarrassed.

Jing Shu looked at Li Ling suspiciously and asked, "Does the Master have anything else to say to this concubine?"

Li Ling stretched out his hand to gather the broken hair on Jingshu's forehead behind her ears.

This small movement seemed extremely abnormal to Jing Shu, and she even subconsciously dodged slightly backwards.

Li Ling said: "You have been married into the mansion for more than a month. During these days, I am too busy to take care of you. I wonder if you are still used to this mansion?"

I spent five years with him in my last life, and he never said such a thing to her, as if she should abide by all his principles and duties when she married him, and everything she did and endured for him should be due .

Suddenly hearing him say such words, Jing Shu's heart moved, and she was silent for a while before replying in a low voice: "Everyone treats me very well, and I am not used to it."

Yes, she is well-educated and prudent in her actions.Since entering the mansion, the relationship with the superiors and subordinates has been handled with ease.

Grandmother likes her, sister-in-law regards her as a bosom friend, and younger sister also loves to cling to her. Even the princess mother, who has always been noble, seems to have a high regard for her.

She shouldn't be used to it.

But, why is she so alienated from him?

Could it be that their time together was too short?
"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me." Li Ling said to her with a gentle voice she had never heard before.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the bright moonlight cast through the veil on the handsome face of the man in front of him, coating that resolute face with a soft halo.

In her previous life, she had many difficulties. If he told her that she could tell him, he would be willing to help her.

Will she still be discouraged by him?
Jing Shu's eyes were a little sore, she held back the tears that were about to burst out with a forced smile and replied: "I don't have any difficulties, and I have nothing to tell my son." After finishing speaking, she lay down with her back to him.

After a while, Li Ling also lay down.Jing Shu subconsciously moved inwards, leaving a distance between the two of them that was neither too far nor too close.

Jingshu calmed down her thoughts. After a while, sleepiness struck again. She closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep. Suddenly, she felt Li Ling move to her side. He was next to her, wrapped his arms around her waist, and asked in a low voice. Said: "I forgot to ask you just now, how many days are you going to live in the deer park with Sanya?"

Jingshu replied vaguely: "Let's talk about it, let's see what my mother-in-law means."

Li Ling still wanted to talk, but Jing Shu said, "Go to sleep, I'm sleepy."

　Li Ling: I really can't figure it out, why do you just ignore me?

　　Jingshu: Think about it.
