The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 593
The old lady and Mrs. Guo passed away, and the palace banned banquets. Duke Zheng and Li Xianyao worried about their respective mothers, and the rest of the people also did not care.

After finishing the funeral, Xu Wanning said happily: "Fortunately, brother Kun's marriage is over, otherwise, it will be delayed."

Li Xian said with a smile: "If you delay Brother Kun's marriage, your resentment towards my old lady will be even deeper."

Xu Wanning said: "You know, your old lady was expecting you to divorce me before she died."

Li Xian came over to embrace his wife, coaxing: "She is an ignorant woman, you have been wronged all these years."

"I don't care about this for a long time." Xu Wanning said straightforwardly: "If I didn't see it, I would have been stunned to death before her."

He sighed again: "I just feel sorry for Dongqing. She just married here, and she has to follow her filial piety. She has little soup and little water every day. I think this child has lost weight in the past few days."

Knowing that his wife loves his daughter-in-law, Li Xian sighed and said: "Although the etiquette stipulates that you can't eat meat, it doesn't hurt to close the door and eat a little quietly. It will take two years and don't eat a bite of meat. They are young. How can people bear it?"

"Isn't it?" Xu Wanning gave her husband a look: "It's rare that you are not stupid and filial now."

As he said that, he called the girl close to him, and quietly confessed: "You will leave the house with my badge in a while, go to the shop to buy some dried meat, and give it to Brother Kun and Brother Ping and Sister Zhuang after dark. Send it away, quietly, and don't let anyone see it."

After the girl led the order to go out, Li Xian said to his wife: "Eat some too, let's see how haggard you have been for a while."

Xu Wanning said: "I don't need it, since you don't want to eat, I will definitely accompany you, so that the children can satisfy their hunger every now and then."

Li Xian smacked his lips silently.

Because there is a mourning period in the mansion, all houses and courtyards are extraordinarily quiet.

On the willow shoots of the moon, Li Kun came back from his duty and saw his wife copying at his desk. He smiled and walked up to him, jokingly said, "Still working hard again?"

Dong Qing raised her head suddenly, seeing that it was Li Kun, she smiled faintly: "Young Master is back."

Li Kun looked at the words his wife was writing, and praised: "It's really well written." Then he raised his eyes to look at his wife: "A while ago, there was a funeral in the mansion, and you were burdened with the management of your mother, so you can rest for a few days. Why do you have to do it every day?" Are you practicing calligraphy every day?"

He joked again with a smile: "Could it be that Madam is going to take the merit test?"

"Your words are exactly the same as what my stepmother teased me about." Dong Qing put down the brush in her hand and replied, "I don't have any hobbies in my life, except for writing."

As she said that, she subconsciously glanced at the handwriting that the prince gave to their husband and wife hanging on the wall, and said, "My handwriting is actually just general, and there is no way to compare it with the good writing."

After listening to his wife's words, Li Kun subconsciously looked at the prince's book, and said with a smile, "Compare with whom? The prince's younger brother?"

Dong Qing's heart trembled when she heard the words, and the hands under the wide sleeves clenched subconsciously.

She didn't know how to open her mouth to socialize, when Li Kun took out an oiled paper bag and stuffed it in mysteriously, Dong Qing was surprised and asked, "What is this?"

Li Kun opened it for his wife himself, and what came into view was a bag full of dried meat. Dong Qing was surprised: "What are you doing? We are keeping filial piety?"

Li Kun replied: "It will take two or three years, and you will not eat meat all the time, how can you bear it?"

"Look at how thin you are." He shot his wife a look, then picked up a piece of dried meat and put it into her mouth without any explanation.

Dong Qing held the jerky in his mouth, but didn't dare to chew it, so he lowered his voice and said, "How did this happen?"

Li Kun winked at her: "Eat, close the door, who knows."

"Besides, to express filial piety, you don't have to use this kind of self-suffering method. I think it is enough for us to remember the goodness of our great-grandmother and grandmother forever in our hearts."

Dong Qing murmured with a breast in his mouth, "I have only been married for a short time, so I may see that my great-grandmother is a very transparent person and treats younger generations generously. It's just that my grandmother has been ill in bed. I don't know much about her, but I heard Seeing what my mother-in-law said, she doesn't seem to like grandma very much."

Li Kun sighed: "My grandmother is sometimes confused, and used to make things difficult for my mother, so the relationship between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not very harmonious."

Then he asked his wife: "It is said that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are the most difficult things. How does my mother treat you? When I am away, do you get along well?"

Dong Qing subconsciously chewed the jerky in her mouth twice: "My mother-in-law treats me very well, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Kun smiled gratifiedly: "That's good."

Then, he stuffed another piece of meat into his wife's mouth: "Eat more."

Dong Qing chewed and swallowed the jerky in his mouth.

I haven't touched meat for a long time, and this unremarkable piece of dried meat tastes like dragon liver and phoenix gall.

Dong Qing casually picked out a piece from the paper bag and gave it to her husband: "You have to practice martial arts every day, which consumes most of your energy, so eat some."

Li Kun replied: "I am strong and can endure it."

As he said that, he stuffed the oiled paper bag in his hand to his wife: "If you can't finish eating, then hide it quietly and don't let the girls see it."

He lowered his voice and said quietly: "I'll be on duty tomorrow, and I'll bring it back for you."

The young couple were whispering here, only to hear the servant's call from outside the door: "Eldest son, young madam, madam has sent someone here, saying they are sending something to the young master and madam."

"Let someone come in." Dong Qing replied, trotted into the inner room, and hid the bag of jerky, just about to face others, but felt that it was inappropriate, so she looked at the bronze mirror again with a brocade Pa wiped his mouth, and took two sips of tea from the table to get rid of the meaty smell in his mouth, before ordering someone to invite the visitor in.

Li Kun glanced at his little wife's nervous appearance, and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing him sniggering, Dong Qing said angrily in a low voice, "Don't bring this with you tomorrow, it's sneaky, it makes me panic."

After a while, Si'er, the girl next to Xu Wanning, followed the servant into the room. When she saw Li Kun and Dong Qing, she presented a small box and said, "This is what Madam ordered the servants to give to you and Madam."

Dong Qing took the box and asked doubtfully, "What is this?"

"Anyway, it's a good thing." Si'er winked at Dong Qing, and said in a low voice, "Madam specifically told me that the Young Master and Young Madam will open it when no one is around."

After the person left, Dong Qing looked at Li Kun, pointed at the box, and was puzzled: "What mystery is mother playing?"

Mother and child are connected, but Li Kun has guessed his mother's intentions, he smiled: "If my guess is correct, mother is also distressed that you can't eat well, so she quietly sent something good."

As he spoke, he opened the box, and he saw a large box full of dried meat.

The young couple looked at each other, then smiled knowingly.

Li Kun stuffed the box to his wife: "Since my mother has acquiesced, you don't have to panic this time."

He whispered again: "Eat at ease, just don't let girls and servants see, lest they go out to chew their tongues and damage your reputation."
