The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 163 Li Xianyao and Xu Wanning Reconciled

These few days, the town government's mansion can be said to be gloomy, with one bad thing after another.

Ever since returning from the palace banquet, the old lady got angry and fell ill when she saw her granddaughter's terrified and pitiful appearance. she knows.

When Li Xian was demoted from office, he was like a discouraged ball, spreading all his grievances on Xu Wanning, insisting that it was Xu Wanning who killed Meiniang and frustrated his official career, so he had to make peace with him.Xu Wanning returned to her natal home in a fit of anger.

On this day, Jingshu stayed in Anxi Hall overnight, and it was already noon when she returned to Qingfengyuan. She didn't have time to rest, so she rushed to Bitangju to visit sister Kun, who was no longer taken care of by her mother.

Jing Shu brought Dan Zhu to Bitangju, and the woman in charge pointed to the main room and said, "Master is drinking to soothe his sorrows in the house."

Jing Shu sighed and asked, "Where's brother and sister?"

The manager replied: "Miss Biao is coaxing the children in the mansion."

Jing Shu went straight to Baoxia, opened the door and saw that Guo Cuiyan was really teaching the children how to read on the couch.

Seeing Jing Shu, Guo Cuiyan hurriedly went down to the ground, and said in a pleasant way: "It's the second sister-in-law, come in and sit down."

Then, he told the servant girl outside: "Go and serve tea to the second lady."

Those who didn't know the inside story thought she was the hostess here.

Jing Shu waved her hand at the little girl outside: "Don't bother, I won't drink, no need to serve tea."

Saying that, Jing Shu went to the bed, picked up Sister Zhuang, and asked the nurse beside her, "Is brother and sister eating well these days? Are you crying?"

Without waiting for the nurse to answer, Guo Cuiyan rushed to reply: "The children don't understand the affairs of adults, they are all well, and I am here to take care of them, so the second sister-in-law can rest assured."

Jing Shu replied with a sneer, "I have to thank my cousin."

Now that the house is full of things, Jing Shu has no time to grind her teeth here with Guo Cuiyan, she sees that her brother and sister are fine, so she leaves the Baosha and walks out.

As soon as they walked halfway, brother's wet nurse caught up with Jing Shu and said, "Second Madam, when will this Eldest Madam come back?"

Jing Shu shook her head and said, "She was hurt like this by elder brother this time, how could she go back so easily."

The nurse sighed deeply, thought for a while, and finally couldn't help but whispered in Jing Shu's ear: "Since the eldest lady left, this cousin has been here all day, it's outrageous."

After listening to the nurse's words, Jing Shu regained her thoughts, and asked, "How is the uncle these two days?"

The wet nurse shook her head and said: "I spend the whole day drinking away my worries, my cousin often goes to persuade me, and the two of them whispered, oops! If this lady doesn't come back, I'm afraid this uncle's soul will be taken away."

Standing in the yard, Jing Shu looked at Bitangju, which Xu Wanning had been running for more than ten years, with mixed feelings in her heart. If this continued, I'm afraid that Bitangju would really be occupied by doves.

Jing Shu left Bitangju, and happened to run into Ziyun who had returned, followed by Liang Jin Lingxiao.

Seeing Ziyun, Jingshu finally saw some light from the worrying clouds of the past few days. She quickly grabbed Ziyun, who had lost a lot of weight, and asked, "You are not at home to keep filial piety for your mother, why are you back?"

Ziyun's mother was old and terminally ill, and passed away a while ago.

Ziyun wiped away tears, and replied: "My mother has already left, as long as I have the heart, it doesn't matter where I keep her filial piety for the elderly."

As she said that, she looked at Liang Jin Ling Xiao: "It's thanks to Lord Liang and Ling Xiao these days, they helped me send my mother, and with them staying at my house, my bastard brother didn't dare to think about me."

After Ziyun's old lady passed away, Zhang Da always wanted to use his sister to pay off the debt. If Li Ling hadn't left Liang Jin Lingxiao behind, Ziyun, a weak woman, would not be able to fight her rascal brother, but she couldn't keep Liang Jin and Liang Jin at home all the time. Well, after five seven days for my mother, she came back.

Jing Shu looked at Liang Jin Ling Xiao and said, "Thank you both."

Ling Xiao quickly returned: "Mrs. Shizi, you are welcome. We are afraid that we will not do what Master Shizi ordered."

Liang Jin, on the other hand, lowered his head, he didn't even dare to look at Jing Shu, he just followed Ling Xiao and said: "Madam, you are welcome."

Jingshu ordered Ziyun to go back to rest first, and she took Danzhu into a carriage and left the mansion, heading straight for the mansion of Marquis Yongyi, Xu Wanning's natal family.

The chariots and horses arrived at Yongyi Hou's Mansion, and Jingshu handed over the greeting card.After a while, Xu Wanning's sister-in-law, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. Yongyihou greeted her in person.

She pulled Jingshu warmly and said: "Mrs. Shizi, come in quickly, oops, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Jing Shu was led into the main hall by Mrs. Guo, and the maids served fragrant tea and fruits, and the reception was very warm.

Before Jingshu could speak about Xu Wanning, Guo said, "Mrs. Shizi, you are here to visit my sister-in-law."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Yes, it's been seven or eight days since sister-in-law came back, I'll come and see her."

Mrs. Guo replied: "Our sister-in-law really didn't miss you. If it were someone else's family, the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law would always be intrigues. How can you be as sincere as you are?"

Jingshu asked, "Is sister-in-law okay?"

Mrs. Guo sighed and said: "How good is she? The children in the family are still young. As a mother, can she not worry about it?"

Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea, and continued: "Now that my parents-in-law have gone, it is said that she encountered such an unsatisfactory thing in her in-law's house. As the elder sister-in-law, I should care more about her. But I have really I'm too busy, you know that my second son has just made a marriage contract with the third girl from the second room of Zhongshunhou's mansion, and the marriage between my eldest girl and second girl has just begun."

Jing Shu also knew about the engagement between the second son of the Yongyihou Mansion and the third girl of the Zhongshun Hou Mansion's second house, but she didn't know the inside story about the marriage between the eldest girl and the second girl. This eldest girl is Guo's own daughter. As soon as she mentioned it, she took the opportunity to ask: "Your eldest daughter's marriage is also settled?"

Mrs. Guo smiled and said: "I am also worried about this matter. A while ago, the Shangshufu originally asked someone to be a matchmaker, and they mentioned the youngest son of the Shangshu family who is a military scholar. I have seen that child with your eldest brother. Temperament is good."

Mrs. Guo paused, sighed, and said, "It's just that I haven't believed it in the past two days. I originally said that I would come to discuss marriage proposal at the beginning of this month. I have been waiting for several days, but no one came over there."

She glanced at Jingshu, and said helplessly: "There is also my second concubine daughter, Master Zhou's family also came to propose marriage a while ago, but now they say that there is something wrong at home, and you need to take it easy. I was really burnt to death."

Mrs. Guo sighed: "There are too many women here, it is a crime, I really can't stop worrying about it."

Mrs. Guo talked about her children's affairs, but Jing Shu couldn't hear her thoughts. If Xu Wanning and Li returned to her natal family, the marriages of these children in their family would be affected, especially the marriage of the girl's family. It is to suffer accordingly.

There was an aunt who was divorced by her husband. Although it sounded better than being divorced and going home, the big family was like a mirror.

In fact, reconciliation and abandonment are the same.

Xu Wanning's eldest sister-in-law Guo is not an unreasonable person, and she has always been close to Xu Wanning, but no matter how close her sister-in-law is, she can't get close to her own flesh and blood, right? Who can disregard the happiness of their own children and be willing to fulfill their sister-in-law? .
