The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 168 Miserable Li Xian

Autumn is crisp and clear, and the weather today is particularly sunny.

Inside Bitang Residence, Xu Wanning was dressed brightly, and was about to carry her daughter to Jingshu's place to play, when Mother Qiu came in, she sighed and said, "Ma'am, the uncle called again in the side hall, and kept yelling I want to see you, or you can go and have a look."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly and said, "What am I going to see him for? It's such a beautiful day, I'm going to take my sister to talk to my younger siblings."

Now Li Xian is suffering from a stroke and can't move at all. He needs someone to wait on him for everything he eats and drinks.

Mother Qiu said: "Young Master, there is really no one to take care of him, it's really a mess."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly, and replied nonchalantly: "Didn't you assign two maids to serve him?"

Although Mother Qiu is angry that Li Xian treats her aunt poorly, this son-in-law is a bastard, but all these years, she still respects Mother Qiu as an elder, seeing him in this state now, Mother Qiu still can't help but soften her heart up.

Mother Qiu replied: "Those two little girls are also young, how can they come to serve you, oops! This morning my uncle needs to have a pee, and she couldn't lift the two of them, so they made a bed."

Mother Qiu persuaded Xu Wanning: "Young master has become like this now, you should at least send someone who is suitable to go there, the son of the son will pick up the imperial doctor from the palace every day to give the uncle a needle, and there is not even a decent person to serve on the uncle's side." None, it will be bad for your reputation if it spreads."

After listening to Mother Qiu's words, Xu Wanning pondered for a while, and then ordered: "Go and call Aunt Wang and Aunt Ping who are in the courtyard, and let them go and take care of you."

After a while, Li Xian's two aunts were sent to the main room.

Xu Wanning asked the two of them: "Which of you would like to go to the side hall to serve the uncle?"

The two aunts listened to Xu Wanning's words, one just twisted the handkerchief, the other looked down at the toes, neither of them said a word.

Seeing that both of them were reluctant, Xu Wanning continued: "If you are willing to go, the monthly rate will be doubled."

Aunt Wang is weak-tempered, she hung her head halfway, and said falteringly: "My monthly profit is enough, and the eldest lady gives a lot of rewards during the festivals. My expenses here are small, and there is no shortage of money."

That's what it means to not want to go.

Xu Wanning looked at Aunt Ping again: "I know Aunt Ping's natal younger brother is going to marry a wife, and it's time to spend money, why don't you go to the side hall to serve the uncle, I'll give you three more monthly cases, how about it?"

Aunt Ping is straightforward, after hearing Xu Wanning's words, she said straightforwardly: "I don't want to serve him, this uncle was poisoned by Mei Niang, that fox spirit, when Aunt Mei is around, all I think about is her." How did you ever look at us? The last time my natal father was sick and needed money, you gave it to me, my aunt. To put it bluntly, we couldn’t count on him when he was well, and we can’t even count on it now that it’s like this Yes, I have already thought about it, from now on I will serve you wholeheartedly, Madam, and from now on I will rely on you to live."

Although it's only natural for my aunt to serve her master, Li Xian had never really treated others sincerely before. Now that he is asked to serve his master, he has to pay attention to your love and my willingness.

Seeing that the two aunts were unwilling to go there, Xu Wanning had to let them back down, and then said to Mother Qiu: "Since those two little girls can't serve you well, why don't you go down and find two rough envoys to serve you?" stop."

The servants in the back house are not allowed to come in. The rough-handed mother-in-law has more strength, and it is better than the little girl to serve the immobile elders.

It was said that Mother Qiu had no choice but to go downstairs to find a suitable person, Xu Wanning picked up her daughter and followed her out, planning to go to Qingfengyuan to chat with Jingshu.

As soon as she walked to the yard, she heard Li Xiangui crying and howling in the side hall: "I said madam, why are you so cruel, and you leave me half dead here and ignore it? Let's have a good time as a husband and wife Ah! You are too cruel! Ah! Ah—"

Xu Wanning handed her daughter to the wet nurse. She strode towards the side hall, pushed open the door with a "bang", and said sharply to Li Xian who was lying upright on the bed: "You still have the face to mention that we are husband and wife? Do you love me?" When the concubine killed his wife, did you ever think about the relationship between husband and wife? When you wronged me and killed your concubine, did you ever trust me as a wife? When you were cruel to abandon me, how could you pity me? Hmph! Now You have fallen into such a field, but you think of me, I tell you Li Xian, it's too late!"

Li Xian had been lying on the bed for more than ten days after suffering a stroke. When he saw his wife coming over for the first time, he scolded Xu Wanning with a mournful face, "Ma'am, what happened before is all my fault, please." Forgive me, please, I promise to treat you wholeheartedly in the future and never make you sad again."

Xu Wanning sneered and said, "Now you have awakened, but I still say that, it's too late!"

As she said that, she closed the door with a "bang", carried her daughter and headed outside.

When Xu Wanning passed by Songle Hall, he happened to meet Guo Cuiyan who was walking towards Songle Hall. When Guo Cuiyan saw Xu Wanning, he was afraid to avoid it.

Xu Wanning went straight to meet her, and asked with a sneer: "Why doesn't my cousin go to my side now?"

Guo Cuiyan braced herself and said with a smile: "Since my cousin fell ill, my aunt has been in poor health. I have been busy here taking care of my aunt. When I have free time, I will go chat with my cousin."

Xu Wanning snorted coldly, and said with a sneer, "I remember something when you mentioned your mother-in-law."

She looked at Guo Cuiyan and said: "Cousin is gentle and virtuous, our uncle has always admired you, I still think about it, I will go to discuss with my mother-in-law in the past few days, and hire a cousin girl to be our uncle's concubine."

When Guo Cuiyan heard this, her face turned pale with fright, and she faltered, "Don't make such a joke, cousin."

Xu Wanning sneered and said: "I'm not joking with you. Since the uncle likes you, the mother-in-law can't leave you. When you are brought here, you will be able to guard the uncle and wife every day. Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

After speaking, without waiting for Guo Cuiyan to tell her, Xu Wanning left with her daughter in her arms.

Guo Cuiyan really planned to marry Li Xian by any means at the beginning, but her ambition was to focus on the position of a lady, not a concubine who is inferior to others. Now that Li Xian is paralyzed in bed, let alone a concubine, she is a concubine. She didn't even want to take the position of real wife if she was really offered.

Spend the rest of your life with a paralyzed man, do you want to be a widow for the rest of your life?
After hearing Xu Wanning's words, she was so frightened that her heart went cold.

If Xu Wanning really went to mention this matter to Mrs. Guo, with Mrs. Guo's selfish nature, she would not agree to it.

Guo Cuiyan was no longer in the mood to curry favor with Mrs. Guo, and turned back to the yard dejectedly.
