The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 245
After Jingshu returned to Qingfengyuan and entered the house, she didn't even care to take off her coat, so she was anxious to read the letter.

Today's Li Ling is much more considerate than before. He said in a letter from his family that he has arrived at Gunzhou, set up camp, and will soon attack the city.He also asked her about the affairs of the family, and at the end of the letter, he expressed his longing for his wife.

After she finished reading the family letter, Dan Zhu on the side asked anxiously, "What did you say? But did you win the battle?"

Jingshu closed the letterhead and replied with a smile: "This letter was written seven days ago, and the siege had not yet begun."

Ziyun echoed, "It's been seven days, maybe it's been broken by now."

As soon as Ziyun finished speaking, the mother-in-law at the door came in and replied, "Ma'am, Princess Jin asks to see you."

After hearing what the mother-in-law said, Jingshu's eyes lit up, and she smiled at Ziyun and said, "You really hit the mark."

After hearing Jing Shu's words, Dan Zhu was at a loss: "Miss, why did you say that?"

Jing Shu put the letter paper under the pillow, and replied to Danzhu who was puzzled: "The family letter sent by my husband went to the post station, so naturally I lost to the urgent military situation. Now the imperial court must have received the letter from my husband to capture Dagon. Good news from Europe."

Ziyun at the side suddenly said: "So this Princess Jin must have got the news, so she came here in a hurry to curry favor with you."

Jing Shu nodded: "Ziyun is still smart."

Although Jing Shu didn't like this concubine Jin who was full of honey and swords, she was in a good mood now, so she felt less dislike for this concubine Jin.

Jing Shu came to the front hall with a few maidservants. When Princess Jin saw Jing Shu, she didn't care about her dignity and didn't wait for Jing Shu to greet her. Don't bother you if you take the liberty to visit."

Jing Shu thought to herself: You are so "presumptuous", I am afraid that your Jin Wang has just learned about my husband's success, so you are so impatient to come up to curry favor.

Although she thought so in her heart, Jing Shu replied with a faint smile on her face, "What are you talking about, Princess, you are willing to condescend to come to the house, and I am too happy to be happy."

King Jin was deeply loved by Emperor Ming, and Emperor Ming even had the idea of ​​easy storage because of this, Jingshu would do enough to save face if she didn't like Princess Jin.

Princess Jin was originally worried that Jing Shu would be worried about what happened at the Princess's Mansion that day, but now that she sees Jing Shu's gentle attitude, she feels a little relieved.

The two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, and Princess Jin said to Jing Shu: "I am married to the prince. Although there are many relatives of the emperor, there are not many female relatives who can really talk to me. Although I don't have much contact with my cousin, But every time I see my cousin, I feel very kind.”

Princess Jin spoke with sincerity, but Jing Shu got goosebumps all over the floor when she heard it, and she really admired the two-faced kung fu of these royal family members.

Jing Shu still had a warm smile on her face, she endured her disgust and perfunctoryly said: "My concubine really flatters my concubine, but my concubine is not talented, I appreciate her intelligence and kindness more."

Princess Jin smiled, sighed and said: "To be honest, for a person like me who has no intentions, only dare to be as straightforward as my cousin sister-in-law, like those sisters-in-law in the palace. It's like a spirit, it takes half a day to talk to them, I really don't want to deal with them."

With that said, Princess Jin took a lacquer box from the maid, opened it herself, and said to Jingshu: "These pieces of jewelry were rewarded from the palace a few years ago. How do I think the color and style match my cousin better?" , today I took the liberty of sending it to my cousin."

Baba came to her just to give her jewelry?

Jing Shu laughed in her heart, but said in her mouth: "Princess Jin is so polite, how can I bear such precious jewelry."

Princess Jin warmly said: "Biao sister-in-law, why are you being polite to me? For a beautiful woman like you, you can't wear any treasures. If you don't accept it, you will sincerely look down on me."

Jing Shu had no choice but to order the maids to accept her, enduring her disgust to pretend warm greetings with this duplicity woman.

The two chatted awkwardly for a while, and Princess Jin finally said she was going to leave. Jing Shu was already impatient and perfunctory with her, wishing she would leave quickly, but she pretended to keep her.

After Jin Wangfei was sent out of the mansion, Jing Shu let out a long breath.

But Danzhu couldn't help complaining: "Miss, why don't you ask her about the situation in Gunzhou?"

Jingshu glanced at Danzhu, and said in a low voice: "Do you think I'm not in a hurry to know what's going on there? It's just that if I ask, it means that I've broken people's intentions to cling to me. In such a situation, I can only pretend It’s best to be ignorant.”

She is the mistress of the Duke's Mansion of Zhen Guo, her words and deeds represent the Duke's Mansion, and she can't deal with people according to her temper.

As the sun sets, Jing Shu walks back with her maidservant. In the warm spring season, the willows and flowers in the Duke's mansion are full of flowers. Facing the beautiful scenery on a beautiful day, Jing Shu misses her relatives who are not in the mansion even more.

Now it seems that her husband, Li Ling, has successfully regained Gunzhou and obtained Gunzhou, and the other four continents can be taken as fast as they can. It won't be a few days before they receive news of his triumphant return.

Just thinking of Li Xian and Xu Wanning, Jing Shu felt an ominous premonition.

It has been three full days since Li Xian went missing, Murong Xuan notified the magistrate of Huaiyin, hundreds of people searched all over the river bed, but they couldn't find Li Xian.

Xu Wanning has never felt such suffering, but in the past three days, she has lost a lot of weight, and she has been sitting on the bow of the boat and waiting.

Si'er, the maidservant at the side, persuaded earnestly: "Madam, at least you should eat something and go back to the warehouse to sleep for a while, you're going to burn yourself out like this."

Xu Wanning looked at the flowing river, and said calmly: "I know in my heart that after these days, he must have been buried in the belly of the fish."

Although Si'er also thought of this ending, she couldn't help but shed tears when Xu Wanning said it like this: "Madam, you have to be more careful, you must take care of yourself, brother and sister I'm still waiting for you to go back."

Xu Wanning was silent for a while, then she turned her head to her personal maid and said, "I've already made up my mind, if I can't find him tomorrow, I will go down to accompany him."

Si'er was shocked: "Ma'am, why do you have to do this, my uncle didn't treat you very well, she really won't come back, and it's not worth you to go with her, Ma'am, don't take it too hard, oh Uh--don't scare me like that."

Xu Wanning said calmly: "Si'er, you have been with me since you were a child. You know my temper best. I don't like to owe others the most. He died to protect me. I can't let him be alone. Stay in this cold river."

"But you still have brothers and sisters, don't you think about the children?" Si'er urged eagerly, wiping away tears.

Xu Wanning took Si'er's hand sideways, and instructed: "After you return to the mansion, wait for me to tell the second lady that I entrusted the children to her."
