Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 108 Second Aunt Guo

 The first month has not yet come out, so Li Xian does not have to go on duty. Early in the morning, he came out of Aunt Cai's house and strolled to the bedroom.

Xu Wanning's breakfast has just been served here. When brother Kun saw his father coming, he put down his job and ran towards his father.

Li Xian picked up his son and walked to the dining table, put his son on his small chair, then turned around and kissed his daughter next to him.

 Xu Wanning still didn't even raise her eyebrows.

Li Ling sat down on the chair, picked up the jade chopsticks and took a few bites of food for his son and daughter, and said calmly: "Are you ready for the things you brought for mother?"

Xu Wanning just replied with a faint "hmm".

The two of them didn't say another word and just ate in silence.

Brother Kun has become sensible and can understand the faces of adults. The children seem to be used to the state of their parents all the time. The little one is also silent and just keeps eating.

Sister Zhuang still couldn't understand the awkwardness of the adults. The little guy was eating pumpkin juice, which was all over his mouth and hands. He kept waving to his father and mother for hugs.

Li Xian simply put down the chopsticks, picked up the tablecloth and wiped his daughter's mouth and hands, picked her up from the small chair, and coaxed her to play on the floor.

After the family had breakfast, Xu Wanning asked the girls to load the things they brought to the Guo family into the car. She held Sister Zhuang, and Li Xian held Brother Kun. They left the city in the carriage and went to the family temple.

 It was almost noon when we arrived at the temple.

In front of this temple is a row of main halls, where Bodhisattvas and Baojiaxian are enshrined. The side halls on both sides are where the ancestors of the Zhenguo Palace are arranged.

Behind the main hall is a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, where the servants who take care of the family temple live. More than half a year ago, another distinguished woman was welcomed here, and that was Li Xian's biological mother, Mrs. Guo.

Li Xian and Xu Wanning took the children into the backyard.

As soon as he entered the second door, Madam Xu who was beside Guo rushed out to welcome them. When she saw Li Xian and the others, she sighed and said, "Master, Madam, I've been waiting for you to come."

Li Xian hurriedly asked: "Mother is in trouble again?"

Aunt Xu replied: "Oh! Isn't that right? I made a fuss last night and smashed everything in the house. I haven't even had a drink of water since yesterday and I kept crying. I can't help you no matter how hard I try." Can’t stop it.”

Hearing this, Li Xian looked anxious and hurriedly went to his mother's house. Xu Wanning was not surprised, but since he was here, he followed her inside.

The two of them walked into Guo's courtyard and heard Guo's screams and curses coming from the main room. Li Xian hurriedly ran in, while Xu Wanning handed her son and daughter to the wet nurse first, and ordered her to take the children to the side room.

What the mother-in-law did was not ordinary, and Xu Wanning was worried that she would scare the children.

 After the wet nurse took the children away, Xu Wanning entered the main room.

Sure enough, the house was smashed into a mess. Guo was sitting on the bed with disheveled hair and howling: "Why am I so miserable? The old witch brought me here for more than half a year and didn't care."

“Oh! At this old age, I still have to be raped by that old witch. Oh, why is my life so miserable?”

“Second Master, if you have a soul in heaven, just open your eyes and take a look. Even though you have been dead for so many years, your old lady still refuses to let me go. Oh, oh, oh”

 Xu Wanning secretly exhaled.

Her father-in-law, who passed away long ago, would be so frightened that he would close his eyes if he saw the widow acting like a ghost, even if there was a spirit in heaven.

Li Xian stepped forward, knelt in front of his mother, and cried: "Mother, what are you doing? If you have something wrong, do you want your son to live?"

When Ms. Guo saw her son, she gradually stopped wailing and wiped away her tears: "It's rare that you still remember me as a mother. I thought that even if I died here, no one would come to collect my body."

Li Xian stepped forward and hugged his mother and said, "If mother says this, where will she put her son?" Guo trembled and touched her son, sobbing again, and then caught a glimpse of her son standing silently at the door. daughter in law.

She pulled her son up, glared at Xu Wanning, and said in a strange tone, "What's the matter? Do you want me, the mother-in-law, to say hello to you?"

Xu Wanning has been making things difficult for her mother-in-law since she married Li Xian. Although she felt depressed, she was used to it.

She stepped forward, saluted Mrs. Guo and said hello, "Last time I came here, my mother said that the charcoal fire here was not very useful. This time I ordered them to bring a lot of silver charcoal, and my mother usually likes to eat it." I also brought a lot of snacks and fruits.”

Ms. Guo didn't appreciate it and snorted coldly: "It's hard for you to still have such filial piety."

She rolled her eyes at Xu Wanning: "I heard that the concubine who was given my son by the Holy Emperor was driven away by you, right?"

Although she is locked up here, she has confidants in the mansion. Even if she is not in the mansion, there will naturally be people who report back to her whenever something happens.

 Xu Wanning listened to her mother-in-law's questioning and only looked at Li Xian.

Li Xian murmured and replied: "It was my son's idea to place her outside."

Mrs. Guo shouted sharply: "Shut up, I think you have really forgotten your mother when you have a daughter-in-law. You don't know how to honor me, but you feel sorry for your daughter-in-law."

Even though Li Xian usually looks arrogant and unruly, he is like a mouse meeting a cat in front of my mother.

When he saw Mr. Guo showing off his power, he felt as if he had been pinched to death and did not dare to speak again.

Mrs. Guo turned her head sideways and continued to show her authority to her daughter-in-law: "You dare to drive away the concubine given by the emperor. I think you are becoming more and more presumptuous. If my son's future is ruined by you, don't you think I will?" It would be weird for you to let my son divorce!"

"Don't think that since I'm not in the house now and no one is controlling you, you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, as long as my old lady says a word, you will be a second cousin."

If in the past, seeing her mother-in-law being so insulting, Xu Wanning, a daughter-in-law, had to endure it even if she didn't want to, but now that the relationship between her and Li Xian was worthless, what did she have to worry about?

Xu Wanning glanced at the cunning Guo family and snorted coldly: "If mother-in-law doesn't like me, just ask your son to divorce me. Even if my noble daughter, a brave and courageous noble lady, becomes a second cousin, she will never give up." I will come to the family temple in despair."

 After saying that, she turned around and left.

It was the first time Ms. Guo saw her daughter-in-law dare to contradict her. She turned pale with anger, pointed at Li Xian and said, "Look, this is the good wife you love."

As she said that, she was so angry that she picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at Xu Wanning. Seeing her son coming to pull her away, she was even more angry and beat her son and said, "You are such a traitor, how dare you protect her."

Mrs. Guo instructed her son: "Go and slap her twice. Such a rebellious daughter-in-law must be given some color to show her off."

Seeing that her son did not move, she was so angry that she cried and cursed: "You are such a traitor, I know you don't have me as a mother in your heart now."

Li Xian advised: "Mother, please don't be angry. That's just her temper. I'll take care of her when I get back."

Mr. Guo, on the other hand, refused to give in and cried hard: "I would rather die if I have such an unfilial son like you."

"If you care about me as a mother at all, I have been brought here by that old witch for more than half a year, why don't you try to take me back."

Xu Wanning glanced at her crazy mother-in-law, shook her head and left the house.

Standing in the sun, she suddenly felt very tired.

She died in Hou Men's noble daughter. What kind of sin was this?
