The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 97
Jing Shu was worrying here, when Li Ling came back, his face was ashen, and the blue veins on his forehead were faintly pulsating.

Jing Shu got up, met him and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Ling took off his cloak and said in a low voice, "It's nothing." Looking at his wife with a worried face, he said to her, "I'm just a little tired. I'm going to take a bath first." After saying that, he said Went to the bathroom.

Li Ling went into the bathroom and washed his face with cold water, only then did he feel that the raging anger in his heart had been suppressed.

Qingluan is a princess, even the people from the Duke's Mansion don't just see her.Before she came to the mansion this time, Li Ling hadn't seen her for three or four years. In his impression, that imperial cousin had always been a delicate little girl with a weak manner.

But he never thought that she was so ignorant of self-respect and stubborn. While Li Ling was disappointed in her, he also felt angry that the efforts and protection of the Duke of Zhen Guo and himself for her all the time were not worth it.

They were devoted to protecting her safety, but she herself didn't know how to cherish it at all.

Jing Shu saw that Li Ling went in and didn't come out for a long time, she went into the bathroom with anxiety, and saw Li Ling leaning on the bathtub, frowning, as if in meditation.

She stepped forward and tried putting her hands into the water: "The water is already cold, and you don't know how to heat it up, so you'll get sick if you soak in cold water like this." Then, she opened the hot water bucket beside her. , scoop hot water into the tub.

The already cold water warmed up again, and the warm water vapor curled up and splashed on the face, making it extra comfortable.

Li Ling grabbed his wife's hand and attached it to his face.

Jing Shu looked at her husband, and asked in a low voice, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

Li Ling replied dully, "Headache."

"Let me massage for you." Saying that, Jingshu went around behind him, raised her slender hand, and gently pressed on the two acupuncture points on his head.

Li Ling leaned in the bathtub, closed his eyes, and under his wife's gentle comfort, Li Ling's irritable heart gradually calmed down.

The water in the bathtub gradually cooled down again, and Jing Shu fetched the bath towel: "Come out, it's not good to soak for too long."

Li Ling obediently got up and stepped out of the tub, standing on the ground, letting his wife wipe him clean and help him change into dry pajamas.

He obediently followed his wife out of the bathroom, and when he came outside, Li Ling caught a glimpse of the letter on the table and asked casually, "Whose is it?"

Jing Shu pondered for a while, picked up the letter, and said, "I told you, don't be annoyed anymore."

Li Ling took the letter from his wife, looked at the signature on it, and said, "It belongs to the third brother?" He nodded slightly: "This word has improved a bit."

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling and said, "I've encountered a difficult thing right now."

When his wife asked him for help when she was in trouble, Li Ling was very obedient, and he hurriedly asked, "What's bothering you, tell me, and I'll help you think about it."

Jingshu said: "I'm afraid you will be annoyed if I tell you, so it's better not to tell you."

Li Ling embraced his wife: "Finally, I'm not annoyed."

Jing Shu pointed to the letter and said, "This letter is written by the third brother to Jiao Xing."

"Jiao Xing?" Li Ling was puzzled, not knowing who the person his wife was talking about.

"It's the little girl in the third brother's original room." Jing Shu reminded.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's face, afraid that he would be angry because of this, but after hearing this, Li Ling, instead of being angry, even smiled slightly: "The third child has not forgotten that girl."

He raised his eyes and glanced at his wife, and then said: "He is a long-term lover."

Seeing that Li Ling was not angry because of this, Jing Shu also breathed a sigh of relief. He pulled him and said, "Go to bed quickly, you just finished washing, and you are dressed so thinly, so be careful not to catch a cold."

When the two got into bed, Jing Shu spread the quilt and said, "I didn't realize that my third brother would never forget this girl. I put that girl on the Zhuangzi, and I thought I would wait for my third brother to forget about this girl." Cha, in the future, find a suitable person and send a sum of money to marry that girl."

She looked at Li Ling and asked, "Now that's the case, what do you think I should do?"

Li Ling replied: "Since the third brother has this responsibility, let's keep that girl for a good life, and let him make up his own mind after he becomes weaker."

Jingshu replied: "What you said is simple, but after the third brother gets married in the future, what will this girl do? According to the family rules, although she can be taken in as a concubine, the younger siblings may not be able to accommodate her. If she knows the inside story, I'm afraid my sister-in-law is also to blame for keeping her in the first place."

Jingshu sighed leisurely: "I also feel sorry for the third brother and that girl, but I have to be a villain."

Li Ling replied: "How can you be comprehensive in everything, as long as you have a clear heart."

Jing Shu read Li Ling's words.

At the beginning, she really couldn't do it when she was asked to watch that girl helplessly wandering outside to fend for herself, and now she couldn't do it now.

Seeing that his wife was silent, Li Ling continued: "In the future, even if the third brother can't tolerate that girl after he gets married, it will be the third brother's own fault. At that time, he will be an adult, so let him handle it by himself. We can't do it for him forever. host"

Li Ling paused: "If he misses that girl and can't bear to let her suffer, even if he doesn't marry a wife, I won't force him."

Jing Shu didn't expect Li Ling to be so open-minded. How can a son of a nobleman understand that he doesn't marry a wife?Especially for someone like Li Ling who respects rules and decency, he probably doesn't agree with it.

Jing Shu looked at her husband and said, "What's the matter with you? You can see it in this matter, it's not like you."

If it were in the past, Li Ling would never have such an idea, but now that he is married and has a lover, he can naturally understand the feeling of "you must be Qing".

He is like this to Jingshu, and his younger brother may be like that to that girl.

He also saves others by himself.

Li Ling replied: "It's not that I can see it openly, but that emotional matters cannot be forced. Even if he is forced to marry, if he only misses the concubine's room, he might as well not marry and just treat her wholeheartedly. It's better to be with that girl than spoiling concubines and destroying wives to make a fuss."

Jing Shu was kind-hearted at first, so why didn't she want to see her lover finally get married, she sighed leisurely: "It's a pity that girl is a lowly family, and she can't be a wife no matter what."

People with low status have no yellow book and cannot enter the family tree, so naturally they cannot become the official wife of a bright matchmaker.

Although marrying a girl as a wife is definitely not going to work, rumors spread outside, and a family like the Duke of Zhen's Mansion can't afford to lose face, but if it is true that they simply don't want to marry, no one can say anything .

Li Ling embraced his wife and persuaded him: "Don't worry about the third child. You have done them a favor by doing this. Let the third child make his own decisions in the future. In short, as long as he doesn't go out of line, he doesn't matter what he chooses." , even if he really doesn't want to marry a wife because of that girl, I, the elder brother, will definitely not force him on this matter."
