The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 629
In the Duke's Mansion, Xu Wanning was even more eager to look forward to her son. Knowing that the army would be victorious today, she was so excited that she stayed up all night last night. She also got up before dawn this morning. Dong Qing finally persuaded her to have some breakfast. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, along with their servants and servants, came to the tower early to wait for Li Kun's return.

They came too early, and when they climbed the tower, Tian Fang had just vomited fish belly white.

The wind was strong on the tower, so Dong Qing put a thick shawl on her mother-in-law and persuaded her to wait inside the tower. Xu Wanning refused at first, but she also knew that the army would not enter the city until noon, but she was impatient and ate in vain on the tower. After a while of cold wind, Dong Qing persuaded him to go inside the tower.

A servant woman had already placed chairs and cushions in the tower, but Xu Wanning couldn't sit still, but after a while, she couldn't help but go to the tower to look at it.

Sister Zhuang couldn't help teasing her mother and said: "Mother, if you walk back and forth like this, I will be dazzled by you before my brother returns."

As she spoke, she looked at Dong Qing who had been patiently taking care of her mother: "Look at how calm your sister-in-law is. You, a mother-in-law, should learn from your daughter-in-law."

In fact, Dong Qing was also anxiously looking forward to it. Last night, she also stayed up all night. She watched the pile of dried meat in the dowry and sat alone in front of the dressing table all night.

Those preserved meats were bought secretly by Li Kun because he was worried that she would not be able to eat meat during her filial piety period. In the past, every night when the couple closed the door, he would secretly stuff the preserved meats into her mouth and coax her. she eats.

He treats her so caringly, how can she not be tempted.

Just last night, Dongqing regretted the quarrel with her husband. She has made up her mind that when her husband returns, she will confess all her past thoughts to him. She will love her husband forever and take care of him. , be filial to his parents, and bear children for him, she is willing to give up her high self-esteem for him.

After listening to sister-in-law's words, Dong Qing smiled and replied, "Actually, I'm also anxious. I wish I could see my husband right away."

Dong Qing has always been calm and prudent, she is the most knowledgeable and respectful daughter-in-law, since she married into the mansion, her every move, every word she says, is so perfect that no one can find any faults.

Not only Xu Wanning and Sister Zhuang, but also the servants who were serving at the side were taken aback when they suddenly heard her say such "immodest" words.

As soon as Dong Qing said these words, for a moment, the air inside the tower seemed to be frozen, and everyone looked at Dong Qing in shock.

"Sister-in-law, I didn't expect you to be like this." Sister Zhuang originally wanted to say, "You also have such undignified times." When the words came to her lips, she quickly changed her mind to "This, such a cute time."

Being dignified and prudent is naturally in line with the norms of a high-class daughter-in-law, but if a girl of sixteen or seventeen is blindly prudent, she is destined to lose her vitality.

After hearing what her sister-in-law said, Dong Qing blushed slightly and hurriedly added, "I saw my mother-in-law was anxious, so I became anxious too. When I became anxious, I made a mistake."

Sister Zhuang smiled faintly, and Xu Wanning came over to smooth things over for her daughter-in-law, and said angrily to her daughter: "Your brother and sister-in-law just got married, and Brother Kun went on an expedition. "

Sister Zhuang knew that her mother was eager to protect her daughter-in-law, so she just smiled and said nothing, but Brother Ping, who came to welcome her elder brother, said nonchalantly: "Mother is so partial to the eldest daughter-in-law, when I have a daughter-in-law in the future, how can I gain a foothold at home? ! Now I feel sorry for my daughter-in-law."

"You don't talk to me here, you don't look serious all day long, who is willing to marry their daughter to you."

Saying that, Xu Wanning couldn't help but come over to beat her youngest son. Brother Ping hurriedly hid from the tower and said with a smile: "I'm tired of waiting here, so I'll go out of the city to greet you." Then he got off the tower and rode out of the city. and go.

After a while, Li Xiang and Ping Yang also rushed over. When Xu Wanning saw them, she said angrily: "The third brother is still weak. What are you doing here? It's just a kid's house. I just want to welcome him with my kids." "

Pingyang replied: "I was going to come with you early in the morning, but he insisted on coming with me. I waited for him to finish taking the medicine, so I was delayed until now."

Li Xiang contracted the epidemic. Although he recovered his life, his body still hadn't fully recovered. He was supported by Pingyang and sat in the tower. Going out, I am an uncle, cough cough cough how can I not come to greet him cough cough cough."

Seeing that Li Xiang kept coughing, Pingyang quickly asked his maid to bring a kettle, handed it to Li Xiang and said, "Drink some hot water quickly and stop talking."

Li Xiang took a few sips after taking the kettle, suppressed his cough, and said to Pingyang, "Thank you Ma'am."

As the sun rose higher and higher, more and more family members came up to greet Zhengren from the city tower. At noon, Brother Ping, who had gone out of the city to welcome the army, galloped back on his horse. When Xu Wanning saw her youngest son, she hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Where is the army? Have you seen your elder brother?"

Brother Ping first took the kettle from the servant boy and gulped some water, then wiped his mouth, and panting, he replied to his mother and family members: "The army has captured the mountain country, and your majesty will stay there." There are a group of soldiers stationed there to deal with the aftermath, and I heard from my uncle that the elder brother asked him to stay there."

"Where did you leave it?" Xu Wanning could hardly believe her ears, her voice changed in anxiety, and she grabbed her son and asked.

Brother Ping frowned, and replied: "Of course they stayed in Gaoshan Kingdom, oh no, since they were surrendered, His Majesty has changed the name there to Yuzhou."

Everyone was stunned when they heard the news. Xu Wanning staggered and nearly fainted. Brother Ping hurriedly supported his mother, and comforted him: "It's all our Daqi's land, mother, don't worry."

Sister Zhuang asked: "Did His Majesty order my eldest brother to stay there? Did my uncle tell me when he will return?"

The "uncle" that Brother Ping and Sister Zhuang refer to is Jinyan's husband Zhou Jin. This time, Li Ling's imperial conquest, Zhou Jin is the deputy commander. Although Li Ling is a close relative, he is the king after all. It is not easy to see the holy face, so he got this news from Zhou Jin.

Brother Ping replied: "Your Majesty didn't keep Eldest Brother there, he asked him to stay. His Majesty originally persuaded him to bring him back, but Uncle said that it was Eldest Brother who insisted on not coming back and insisted on staying there."

Xu Wanning finally came back from the shock, she sighed heavily, and said disappointedly, "I was looking forward to it in vain, this child, why do you have to stay there? The family letter didn't mention a word, hey! It really made me angry."

Li Xiang interjected: "It is said that the high mountain country, oh no, the climate in Yuzhou is warm and humid, the scenery is beautiful, ahem. Brother Kun is probably nostalgic for the scenery there."

As soon as Li Xiang said this, Ping Yang said angrily to him: "Do you think Brother Kun is like you? This kid is self-motivated, how could he be confused by the scenery outside."

Xu Wanning also hurriedly said: "Ping Yang is right, this child can't do such a thing." Then sighed: "This child, what's going on?"

Not receiving anyone, everyone in the family sighed. Only Dong Qing stood aside silently without saying a word. When Pingyang came back to her senses, she hurriedly comforted her and said: "Qing'er, don't be anxious. It won't take long for Brother Kun to be here." I'm back."

When Xu Wanning saw her daughter-in-law missing, she felt even more sad. She took Dong Qing's hand and said, "It's all because Brother Kun's ignorance made you look forward to it in vain."

Dong Qing was silent for a long time, she sniffed and tried to calm herself down, then bent down and knelt down in front of Xu Wanning and said, "Mother, I'm going to Yuzhou to find my husband, please allow me."
