Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 144 Mei Niang is pregnant

Mrs. Guo was beaten by the mistress, and she lost her interest in showing off her power with her daughter-in-law. After Jingshu left, she continued to talk to her son about Xu Wanning's faults for a while, and then let her son-in-law go.

After everyone left, Nanny Xu glanced at the unhappy Guo and couldn't help but advise: "Now that you are finally back, it's time to express your feelings, why bother getting angry with those younger people."

Mrs. Guo leaned on the soft couch, with a hint of tiredness on her dry and sour face, and replied tiredly: "Do you think I am willing to vent my anger on them? If I can't even control my son and daughter-in-law, where can I go in this house?" There’s still a place for me.”

Xu Yan advised: "You are the wife of the second master Ming media who are marrying, and the uncle has a good chance. Who dares to respect you in this house."

Mrs. Guo snorted coldly and said angrily: "Don't you see that the little mistress who hasn't even faded her yellow mouth now dares to be so presumptuous in front of me?"

"Hmph! Let's see, I've been in charge of the Duke's mansion in this town for most of my life. As long as I'm here, she won't even think about getting past me."

Aunt Xu has been with Mr. Guo all her life and knows that she is stubborn and loves to get into trouble. Seeing her wanting to talk about her lust, Aunt Xu quickly offered a bowl of calming tea and persuaded her: "You are now a With a house full of children and grandchildren, why should we be so idle?"

Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea, put the tea cup on the table, sighed and replied: "You were the person I brought from my natal family, and I married the short-lived second master. My situation in this house, you It’s obvious.”

As she spoke, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but choked up: "How did that old witch ever look at me? Even if I survived until all my grandchildren were running around, wouldn't she just **** me if she wanted to?"

She wiped her tears, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "I don't understand. Although my Guo family has declined, it is still far stronger than the Shen family who was born in a small family. My daughter-in-law, why can that old witch look at that person so highly and treat me like this?"

This Guo family was originally the daughter of a noble family. It was only because her father was involved in the struggle for the right to inherit the throne during the Emperor Wu's period that the Guo family was deprived of their title. Nowadays, the children of the Guo family are incapable of becoming talented, and the Guo family has also fallen into decline. Come down. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how poor the Guo family is, it is still much stronger than the Shen family, which has no foundation in Beijing.

 Mr. Guo is not convinced by this.

A transparent person will become more understanding as he lives, and become a wise old man. A narrow-minded person will not understand even if his teeth fall out.

Although they both have a low background, and even the mistress's background is far inferior to that of Guo, she can't stand the fact that she is wise, generous and good at being a good person.

In the past year since she married into the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, people have always respected their elders. Whenever the old lady had a headache or fever, the mistress would be there to take care of her, while their aunt would hide in the house and enjoy herself secretly. I desperately hope that my mother-in-law will die soon. By the way, the mistress has nothing to say. Which of the sisters-in-law, sister-in-law, and brother-in-law in the house is not close to her? Even when they treat the servants, they are fair and relaxed in everything they do.

Although the mistress is young, the reputation she has gained as the head of the business this year is something that her aunt has never been able to achieve after a lifetime of running the business.

 As the saying goes, it’s never too cold to be at a high place. It is naturally difficult to be a daughter-in-law in a high-ranking family. Only those who are capable can do it with ease. Those who are not capable will only be miserable for the rest of their lives.

 It just so happened that Mr. Guo was a master who was both incompetent and arrogant. This life was not going to be easy.

As soon as Mrs. Guo came back, there was a lot of commotion in Xiyuan. Li Xian was caught between his mother and his daughter-in-law, and he didn't like staying at home anymore. When he had time, he went to Shui'er Hutong to find Mei Niang to relieve himself.

On this day, as soon as he stepped through the door of the outer room, Xiaohong, the girl who was close to Mei Niang, came up to him happily. When he saw Li Xian, he hurriedly bowed and said congratulations: "Congratulations, uncle, congratulations, uncle."

Li Xian had been tortured physically and mentally by his mother these past few days. When he saw Xiaohong like this, he frowned and said, "What can I congratulate you for?" Xiaohong stood up and said happily: "Go in quickly, my aunt is in the house. I'm waiting for you here, so it would be better for my aunt to tell you such a happy event in person."

Li Xian listened to Xiao Hong’s words and walked into the house quickly.

Meiniang was lying on the couch obediently. When she saw Li Xian come in, she did not rush towards him with bare feet this time. She just looked at Li Xian with a smile and said, "I finally have your husband here."

Li Xian stepped forward, looked at Mei Niang lovingly and asked, "As soon as I entered the yard, I heard Xiao Hong say, you have something to tell me? What is it?"

Meiniang snuggled into Li Xian's arms, grabbed his hand and placed it on her belly, and replied shyly, "I have it."

Li Xian froze on the spot, unable to recall his thoughts for a while.

Meiniang raised her head and looked at Li Xian with her full eyes: "My family is pregnant with your husband's child. Is your husband unhappy?"

Whether a concubine can have a child or not is the final decision of the wife. If the wife does not want the concubine to have children, she must deliver the soup to avoid the child on time and order people to drink it while watching the concubine.

When Mei Niang was in Xiyuan, Aunt Qiu always sent the medicine to Mei Niang on time to avoid her son. Therefore, even if Li Xian doted on her again, she could not get pregnant. Even after moving out of Xiyuan, Li Xian remembered that he didn't reply to her, so Aunt Qiu must have had a powerful person to deliver medicine to Mei Niang in time.

Li Xian frowned and asked, "After you came out, didn't Mrs. Xu order someone to give you Bizi soup?"

Meiniang didn't answer Li Xian's words, and her fox-like face immediately darkened: "Hearing what Mr. Lang said, it means he doesn't want this child."

With that said, she got down to the ground with her bare feet, and angrily called to Xiao Hong outside: "Xiao Hong, go grab a pair of Luozi Tang."

Xiaohong hurriedly ran in. Seeing her master's angry look, she replied, "Auntie, what are you doing?"

Meiniang glanced at Li Xian, who was standing aside, and said angrily: "I don't want this child. You go and catch Luozi Yao, and I will kill him right away to avoid upsetting you."

After listening to Mei Niang's words, Xiao Hong quickly knelt down to Li Xian and cried: "Uncle, what my aunt is carrying is your precious child. You can't be so cruel. My aunt is already weak. After this medicine, It's hard to say that it will cost one body and two lives."

Li Xian is a soft-hearted person, how could he want to watch his own flesh and blood live and die in his belly? It would be good if he was pregnant in the concubine's room in the mansion, but now Mei Niang has been kicked out by his grandmother and has become a nameless foreigner. room. Even after this child was born, he had no name and no status, and could not hold his head up for the rest of his life.

Seeing that Li Xian was sullen and silent, Mei Niang bumped her head against the wall. When Li Xian reacted and pulled her back, she hit the hard wall with a bang.

In an instant, the girl's forehead was bleeding profusely, and she fainted.
