Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 163 Li Xianyao and Xu Wanning reconcile

 with the government office being gloomy and gloomy these past few days, one bad thing happened one after another.

Since returning from the palace banquet, the old lady got angry and fell ill when she saw her granddaughter's frightened and pitiful appearance. The old lady is old and cannot withstand the blow, and she dare not let go of the bad things happening here in Bitangju. She knows.

Li Xian was demoted from his official position, and he was immediately deflated. He vented all his grievances on Xu Wanning, insisting that it was Xu Wanning who killed Mei Niang and caused his career to be frustrated, so he had to reconcile with her. Xu Wanning returned to her parents' home in anger.

On this day, Jingshu stayed in Anxi Hall all night, and it was already noon when she returned to Qingfeng Garden. She had no time to rest, so she hurried to Bitangju to visit Brother Kun and Sister Zhuang, who was now without the care of her mother.

Jingshu brought Danzhu to Bitangju. The housekeeper pointed at the main room and said, "The uncle is drinking wine in the house to relieve his sorrow."

Jingshu sighed and asked, "Where are you, brother and sister?"

The steward replied: "My cousin is in Baoxia coaxing the children."

Jingshu went straight to Baoxia, opened the door and saw that Guo Cuiyan was actually teaching her children to read on the couch.

When Guo Cuiyan saw Jingshu, she quickly went down to the ground and greeted her, "It's the second sister-in-law, come in and sit down."

Then he ordered the servant girl outside: "Go and serve tea to the second lady."

Those who didn’t know the inside story would have thought she was the hostess here.

Jingshu waved her hand to the little girl outside: "Don't bother, I won't drink, so there's no need to serve tea."

With that said, Jingshu walked to the bed, picked up Sister Zhuang, and asked the wet nurse beside her: "Brother, sister, how are you doing after eating and drinking these days? Are you crying?"

Without waiting for the wet nurse to reply, Guo Cuiyan rushed to reply: "The children don't understand adult matters. They are fine. I am here to take care of them. Second sister-in-law can rest assured."

Jingshu sneered and replied: "Thank you for your help, cousin."

With so many things going on in the house now, Jingshu didn’t have time to chat with Guo Cuiyan. When she saw that her brother and sister were fine, she left Baoxia and walked out.

Having just reached the halfway point, my brother's wet nurse caught up with Jingshu and said, "Second madam, when will this eldest lady come back?"

Jingshu shook her head and said, "How could she come back so easily after being hurt like this by her eldest brother this time?"

The wet nurse sighed deeply and thought for a while. Finally, she couldn't help but whispered in Jingshu's ear: "Since the eldest lady left, this cousin has been here all the time. It's not shameful."

After hearing what the wet nurse said, Jingshu came around and asked, "How have you been these past two days, sir?"

The wet nurse shook her head and said, "I spend the whole day drinking to drown my sorrows. My cousin often goes to persuade me. The two of us murmur, oh! If the lady doesn't come back, I'm afraid the uncle's soul will be taken away."

Jingshu stood in the yard, looking at Bitangju, which Xu Wanning had been running for more than ten years, with mixed feelings in her heart. If it continued like this, I am afraid that Bitangju would really be occupied by a dove.

Jingshu left Bitangju and happened to meet Ziyun who was returning, followed by Liang Jin Lingxiao.

Seeing Ziyun, Jingshu's melancholy in the past few days finally saw some light. She quickly grabbed Ziyun, who had lost a lot of weight, and asked: "You are not at home to honor your mother, why are you back?"

Ziyun’s mother was old and terminally ill, and she passed away not long ago.

Ziyun wiped away her tears and replied: "My mother has passed away. As long as I have my heart, it will be the same wherever I keep filial piety for her." As she said that, she looked at Liang Jin Lingxiao: "Thanks to Mr. Liang for this time. I went to Lingxiao, they helped me send my mother, and with them staying at my house, my **** brother didn’t dare to mess with me."

After Ziyun's mother passed away, Zhang Da always wanted to use his sister to pay off his debts. If Li Ling hadn't left Liang Jin Lingxiao behind, Ziyun, a weak woman, wouldn't have been able to fight against her rogue brother, but she couldn't keep keeping Liang Jin and Liang Jin at home. Well, after staying with my mother for five days, she returned.

Jingshu looked at Liang Jin Lingxiao and said, "Thank you both very much."

Ling Xiao hurriedly returned: "Your Majesty, Madam, you are too polite. We are afraid that we will not fulfill the Emperor's instructions to the best of our ability."

Liang Jin lowered his head, not even daring to look at Jing Shu. He just followed Ling Xiao and said, "Madam, you're welcome."

Jingshu ordered Ziyun to go back and rest first, and she took Danzhu on a carriage and horse and left the house, heading straight towards Yongyihou's house and Xu Wanning's natal home.

 The carriage and horses arrived at Yongyihou's mansion, and Jingshu handed over the greeting card. After a while, Xu Wanning's sister-in-law, Mrs. Guo of Yongyihou, came out in person.

She pulled Jingshu warmly and said, "Come in quickly, Madam Prince. Oh, we haven't seen each other for a while."

Jingshu was led into the main hall by Mr. Guo. The girls served fragrant tea and fruits and entertained her very warmly.

Before Jingshu could say anything about Xu Wanning, Mrs. Guo said, "Mrs. Prince, you are here to visit my sister-in-law."

Jing Shu smiled and said, "Yes, it's been seven or eight days since my sister-in-law came back. I came to see her."

Mrs. Guo replied: "Our sister-in-law has really done nothing wrong with you. If it were someone else's family, the sisters-in-law would always be scheming with each other. How could they be as sincere as you?"

Jingshu asked: "How are you, sister-in-law?"

Mrs. Guo sighed and said: "How can she be better? The children at home are still young. As a mother, how can she not worry about her?"

Mrs. Guo took a sip of tea and continued: "Now that my parents-in-law are gone, according to etiquette, if she encounters such an unsatisfactory thing at her husband's house, I, as the eldest sister-in-law, should pay more attention to her. But I am really worried these days. Too busy, you know my second son has just made an engagement with the third girl from the second house of Zhongshun Hou Mansion, and the marriage between my eldest daughter and the second daughter has also just been announced."

Jingshu also knew about the engagement between the second son of the eldest son of the Yongyi Hou Mansion and the third girl of the second eldest son of the Zhongshun Hou Mansion. However, she did not know the inside story about the marriage between the eldest daughter and the second daughter. The eldest daughter was the biological daughter of the Guo family. Since the Guo family At the mention of it, she asked casually: "Your eldest daughter's marriage has been decided?"

Mrs. Guo said with a smile: "I am also worried about this matter. A while ago, the Shangshu Mansion asked someone to do a matchmaking. The person they mentioned was the youngest son of the Master of Military Studies. Your eldest brother and I have also met that child. His character is very good. All have good tempers.”

Ms. Guo paused, sighed and said, "It's just that I haven't heard from them in the past two days. I originally said that I would come over at the beginning of this month to discuss the proposal of marriage. I have been waiting for several days, and no one has come over there."

She glanced at Jing Shu and said helplessly: "And my second concubine. Originally, Mr. Zhou also came to propose marriage a while ago, but this time he said that there was something wrong in the family and that he needed to slow down. At this time, your eldest brother and I'm really **** off."

Mrs. Guo sighed: "There are too many women here, which is an injustice. I really can't worry about it all."

Mrs. Guo was talking about her children, and Jingshu couldn't tell what she was thinking. If Xu Wanning and Li returned to her parents' home, the marriages of their children would be affected, especially the marriages of the girl's family. Is to follow the disaster.

The aunt who was proposed by her husband was better than the husband. Although it was better than being returned home, it was better to listen to it.

 Actually, heli and abandon are both the same.

Xu Wanning's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Guo, is not an unreasonable person, and she has always been close to Xu Wanning. However, no matter how close the sister-in-law is, she cannot kiss her own flesh and blood. Who can ignore the happiness of their children and be willing to fulfill their sister-in-law? .
