The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Pingyang was very happy to see his brother and sister-in-law, Zhao Xuan went outside to talk about the matter of paying tribute to the palace, while Xie took Pingyang to talk about the past inside the house.

Although Xie gave birth less than half a year ago, she is recovering well, her complexion is rosy, and her posture is back to normal.

When Pingyang saw his sister-in-law, he confided in his heart: "I only heard about the fact that the Meng family could no longer have children when I left. I was worried that after such a story, my eldest brother would have a quarrel with you. Now it seems that my sister-in-law is holding my eldest brother again." gone."

Mrs. Xie said with a smile: "It's impossible to talk about controlling him. Mrs. Meng drank the poison and hurt her foundation. Your eldest brother is feeling uncomfortable, but he can't blame me for it. I didn't force her to think about it. It's just now She was not allowed to have a baby, and I didn't say that she would never allow it in the future, it was because she was impatient, and I can't blame her for that."

As he said that, Mrs. Xie quietly pointed to the outside, and said: "This time, your elder brother brought her along."

Pingyang was surprised: "The Meng family also came?"

Mrs. Xie nodded: "She has been looking for death and life so that she can no longer have children. After all, she made your elder brother feel guilty. This time, she insisted on taking her with her when she came out, saying it was to let her relax."

"Oh, just take it with you. I was the one who entered the palace for the banquet, so what if she came along?"

After saying that, Xie didn't wait for Pingyang to speak, so he lightly uncovered the trouble, and discussed with Pingyang: "I'm going back to my mother's house tomorrow, will you come with me?"

Pingyang put down the tea he was drinking, and asked with a frown: "The imperial aunt has been away for so many years, what else is there in the Hou's mansion that is worthy of your nostalgia? What's the point of going back?"

Mrs. Xie sighed leisurely: "You're right, if my mother is gone, there will be no one who loves me in the Hou Mansion, so it's really not worth my nostalgia."

As he said that, Xie's face showed a look of anger: "It's just that mother left like this, after all, she let that bitch gain power. Now she bears the name of the clan wife of the Hou Mansion, and even her son has inherited the title. These should belong to my mother and my younger brother."

"That bitch killed my mother and younger brother, and lived happily and richly. Thinking about it makes me panic."

Pingyang knew that Mrs. Xie was a formidable person, and she refused to suffer from it since she was a child. She slowly persuaded: "Sister-in-law, let's take it easy. The emperor's aunt died of illness because she couldn't think about it. Even the death of the little cousin was already decided. Unexpectedly, Lord Hou is also dead now, so what can you do if you care about these things?"

"I can't do anything to them, but since I'm back, I can't make them too easy." She said, pulling Pingyang: "Good girl, you will go with me tomorrow."

Ping Yang nodded and said: "Since you insist on going, I will accompany you."

Just as I was talking, the woman outside came in and said, "Ma'am, the son of the Duke's mansion has come to pick up the princess."

Upon hearing the words, Mrs. Xie asked, "Where is Shi Ziye? Why don't you come in quickly?"

The mother-in-law replied: "It's in the front hall, talking to our son."

Mrs. Xie replied that she knew it, so she said to Pingyang: "Your husband is a pest, let's go, since you have come to pick him up, you can go back quickly."

After speaking, Mrs. Xie also got up, and went towards the front hall together with Pingyang.

Zhao Xuan was drinking tea and talking with Li Xiang, and the Meng family was also there, sitting beside Zhao Xuan.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xie's face darkened. She didn't speak, but looked straight at Mrs. Meng who was sitting next to Zhao Xuan.

According to the rules, being able to sit side by side with your husband in front of guests is a qualification only for a regular wife.

Mrs. Meng glanced at Mrs. Xie's gaze, and she froze on her originally smiling face. She turned her head and subconsciously looked at Zhao Xuan, with a hint of fear in her eyes.

She looks delicate and timid, so cute and pitiful.

Before Zhao Xuan could speak, Xie said with a cold face: "What kind of rule is this? Someone is going to rebel while my mistress is still here?"

As soon as these words came out, Meng Shi got up in a hurry, not daring to look at Zhao Xuan anymore, and stood on one side with her head down.

Mrs. Xie went in with her head held high, sat down upright on Mrs. Meng's position, looked sideways at Li Xiang, then glanced at Mrs. Meng who was standing aside, and said with a half smile: "What's the matter? Cousin is here A trip to the mansion, if you don't come to see me first, but you are in a hurry to meet someone else who has nothing to do with you?"

Li Xiang quickly replied: "Cousin, where is this? You are my sister and my sister-in-law. We are double relatives. How dare I not take you seriously."

Seeing that Xie's expression was still unkind, Li Xiang glanced at Pingyang and begged her to save him with his eyes.

Ping Yang secretly rolled his eyes at Li Xiang, and said lightly: "I'll be out for a while, what are you looking for again? It's getting late, let's go."

Seeing Pingyang opened his mouth, Xie's face softened, and said: "I have already ordered them to arrange it, let's use it together here at night."

As she said that, she looked at Zhao Xuan: "Husband, what do you think?"

Zhao Xuanmu put on a face, and said lightly: "I just came back today, and the people are on their backs, and they haven't been settled yet. Let's invite my younger sister's family to reunite some other day."

Li Xiang hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! I'll come back to Pingyang after the eldest brother and sister-in-law are settled."

Xie said: "Since this is the case, then I will invite you to come here another day."

After Pingyang and Li Xiang went out, Zhao Xuan turned his head to look at Meng Shi who had been silent all the time, and said softly: "You should go back and rest first."

Mrs. Meng nodded, and then gave a slight salute to Mrs. Xie before turning around and leaving.

When there were only husband and wife left in the living room, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but complained to his wife with a cold face: "What are you doing? Do you make me face like this in front of outsiders? Do you still take me seriously?"

Mrs. Xie didn't budge and said: "You still have the face to blame me, I'm your wife, a visitor at home, what's the matter with you bringing that Mrs. Meng to welcome guests?"

Zhao Xuan suppressed the anger in his heart, and explained in a calm tone as much as possible: "I was busy with Ayu in the hall, and my cousin came over, and Mrs. Meng avoided it. My cousin is not an outsider, so I let her stay. down."

"It's just a coincidence. If you don't ask clearly, you will throw your face in front of outsiders. How embarrassing you are for me."

Xie sneered coldly: "Then Meng is a concubine, no matter what you say, she shouldn't sit side by side with you. Could it be that she is allowed to break the rules when she leaves the palace?"

"I can warn you, you can let her stay here, but you must listen to me. If I catch her arrogating again, I will order someone to send her back."

Zhao Xuan knew that he couldn't argue with his wife, so he sighed helplessly, and said, "I know you are capable, so I just listen to you." He walked away.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Mrs. Xie asked: "The matter of paying tribute to the palace hasn't been discussed yet, where are you going?"

"Just follow the rules of previous years. What else can we discuss? As for the trivial matters that need to be taken care of, you can make up your own mind."

As he said that, he glanced at Mrs. Xie, and said with a wooden face: "Ayu is not used to it when she first came to Beijing, so I will be with her tonight."

After all, Zhao Xuan left Xie Shi and left without looking back.
