Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 114 Jing Shu angrily walks away from Li Ling

Li Lingjingshu said goodbye to Zhang Chao and his wife, went to the post house to meet the soldiers, and then embarked on the journey again.

 The group of people finally arrived at the next inn before dark.

After entering the house, Li Ling shouted away Ziyun with a cold face, turned around and locked the door.

 Looking like he wants to teach his wife a lesson behind closed doors.

Jingshu didn't accept his behavior. When she saw his sullen face, she pretended not to notice him and packed her things slowly.

Li Lingsan walked up to her in two steps, said with a cold face, "Stop, I have something to tell you."

Jingshu stopped what she was busy doing, turned around and sat down on the chair, raised her eyes and looked at Li Ling and said, "What's the matter? Just tell me."

Li Ling became even more angry when he saw his wife's nonchalant attitude. He stared at her and said, "You were so rude in Zhang Mansion early in the morning and made me lose face. You think that's all."

Jingshu looked at Li Ling and said calmly: "Then what do you want to do?"

Li Ling punched the cotton with his fist, almost causing internal injuries.

He was so angry that he put his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the room twice, then stood in front of Jingshu again, stared at her, and said through gritted teeth: "Ms. Shen, don't think that I can't really do anything to you."

 “I will take you back tomorrow.”

If these words had not come out of seclusion, they would have been able to bluff her. Now, more than half of the journey has been completed, are you trying to bluff her like a three-year-old child?

Jingshu didn't look at his cold face at all. She sat on the chair and fiddled with the jade bracelet on her wrist.

 It was as if Li Ling's thunderous fury had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that his wife was indifferent, Li Ling was so angry that he yelled at her: "Did you listen to me?"

Jingshu raised her eyes and said calmly: "I'm not listening."

Li Ling was so angry that he glared, pointed at her and rebuked: "I have really spoiled you. It's okay for you to mess around with me at home, but you don't know how to restrain yourself in front of outsiders."

“Today, I must teach you a lesson.”

Jingshu still didn’t raise her head, just sat there dully.

Li Ling stared at his little wife fiercely. Seeing her lowering her head and not saying a word, Li Ling slowly asked: "Do you know you are wrong?"

“If you realize your mistake, I might spare you this time.”

Seeing that his wife was still silent, Li Ling took a breath and repeated, "Have you realized your mistake?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Shu raised her eyes and looked at him and asked, "May I ask, husband, where did I go wrong with my body?"

Li Ling said angrily: "You still don't know where you went wrong?"

Jingshu snorted coldly: "Zhang Chao didn't take me seriously when he sent you Ji Nu in front of me. How could he expect me to greet him with a smile?"

 “I didn’t scold him, which was considered polite.”

Li Ling said with a cold face: "He just said it casually. Besides, it is impossible for me to want that female concubine. If you come over here and talk nonsense in a weird way, let others think of me."

 “For those who don’t know, you might think that I, Li Ling, am henpecked.”

Jingshu was also annoyed and said angrily: "It was Zhang Chao who was rude first, but you come to accuse me. What's the point?"

She glanced at Li Ling and said with a half-smile: "Is it possible that you really have a crush on that female concubine and think I'm in the way of your good deeds?"

Li Ling said angrily: "Don't make trouble with me unreasonably. Why do I like her?"

Jingshu snorted coldly: "If you really like her, you can discuss it with Zhang Chao when you get back. I will never stop you."

“Even if you accept ten or eight dollars in the future, I will never say another word.”

The two were quarreling when the woman in the post house knocked on the door and came to deliver food.

Li Ling left Jing Shu and opened the door. He brought the food and put it on the table. He said coldly to Jing Shu, "Let's eat first." Jing Shu said angrily, "I'm not hungry."

Li Ling suppressed his anger and softened his tone: "How can you not be hungry after a day's journey?"

He looked at his wife and said commandingly: "Let's eat first."

Jingshu ignored him, turned around and went to the inner room, put on her clothes and lay down on the bed.

 After a while, Li Ling followed him into the inner room. He stood by the bed, looked at his wife and softened his tone and said, "Let's go, let's eat first."

Jingshu rolled her eyes at him and snorted coldly: "Have you fed me enough so that I can wait for your treatment?"

Li Ling gritted his teeth in anger: "If I want to do anything, do I need to feed you first? I can beat you so hard that you won't be able to get out of bed for three days."

Jingshu said sarcastically: "The prince is so majestic."

This tepid look made Li Ling stunned again. With a cold face, he warned: "Don't really offend me. Let me tell you, if I really attack you, I won't be soft. I have to beat you until you can’t even cry anymore.”

If these words had been spoken when they had just gotten married, they would definitely have frightened her.

　Now Jingshu has already fully understood Li Ling.

After hearing this, she not only did not give in to Li Ling at all, but instead looked at him and said: "Then please go get the board quickly, I will wait here."

Li Ling was so angry that he glared, gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "Just wait for me!"

 Throwing these words, he left the room angrily.

After Li Ling left, Jingshu took off her coat. When the woman who delivered the meal came in, she had already brought hot water. Jingshu used the hot water to make herself comfortable and clean her face before sitting at the dining table.

 After leaving the customs, the inn became more and more shabby, and the food became more and more coarse. I just ran around all day and only had two snacks at noon. At this moment, she was already very hungry and couldn't care less about being picky eaters.

She picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. However, because she and Li Ling had been busy arguing just now, the food was already cold after being left out for so long in the winter.

Even if the meal was rough, it was still cold and it was really hard to swallow. Jingshu put down her chopsticks in disappointment and lay back on the bed.

 The tiredness of the journey came over her. Jingshu closed her eyes and wanted to sleep for a while, but her stomach kept growling, and she was so hungry that she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Jingshu simply opened her eyes again and couldn't help getting angry again.

This guy kept saying that he wanted to teach her a lesson. Jingshu had heard this for eight hundred times. Every time he provoked him, Li Ling would yell at her to do something to her.

She didn't believe that he really went to get a board to beat her.

In this life, Jingshu has long understood this man. Li Ling, a grown man, really cares about face, but he also truly dotes on her.

 Even though he was angry, he was still reluctant to touch her.

Jing Shu is already confident.

She was just angry that he never came back. Jingshu would rather he quarrel with her in the room than have a cold war with her like this.

It was already dark outside the window, and the carbon fire in the stove gradually faded away. Ever since he and Li Ling came out, he had been doing things like lighting charcoal fire in the stove every time he stayed at the inn. Even in the middle of the night, Li Ling had to get up twice to add charcoal fire for fear of freezing her.

Now, as the cold air gradually came, Jingshu couldn't help but start thinking about Li Ling's good fortune.

She pulled the quilt over her body to keep out the cold, touched her flat belly, and waited impatiently for a long time without seeing Li Ling come back.

 Her heart began to feel sour.

 Could it be that this man really doesn’t care about himself?

 She felt so wronged that she wanted to cry.
