Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 164: The dove takes over the magpie's nest

After listening to Guo's words, Jingshu understood what she meant, that she just didn't want Xu Wanning to agree to divorce.

 But this matter cannot be controlled by others, it also depends on Xu Wanning's own wishes. And this matter is also tricky now, because Li Xian is determined to reconcile, but now I'm afraid that even if Xu Wanning is unwilling, they may not be able to do it.

Jingshu said to Mrs. Guo, "I'd better check on my sister-in-law. She has been back for a few days, and I am thinking about her."

Mrs. Guo smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll take you there."

Jingshu got up and followed Guo to Xu Wanning's cave. When she arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Guo told Jingshu: "Good girl, my sister-in-law is the closest to you in the Zhenguo Palace. I also know that my uncle is now It's Tiexin who wants to reconcile with her, so for the sake of my sister-in-law and her young child, you can help her out."

Jingshu replied: "As long as there is room for change in this matter, I will not sit idly by and ignore it. Sister-in-law, don't worry."

Jingshu entered the house. When Xu Wanning saw her coming, she stood up and said, "I'm afraid you are the only one in the Duke's mansion who can come to see me now."

Jingshu sat down next to her and replied: "Grandma is ill and can't get up. Now that you are making such a fuss, you don't even dare to mention it to her. The third girl is thinking about you, but her children's family , so what if you come, the children are also thinking of you, I visited them when I came here, they are all fine, but it is not convenient to bring them here."

Xu Wanning has been staying at her mother's house for a few days, and she has figured out some things. She asked Jingshu: "I'm afraid my cousin has been going to my yard more frequently these days, right?"

Jingshu replied truthfully: "Isn't that right? I heard from my brother's wet nurse that she goes there day after day, taking care of the children and educating her elder brother, but she is very busy."

Although Xu Wanning has a rough temper, she is not stupid. She did not see Guo Cuiyan's ulterior motives clearly before, but now she understands them.

She sneered and said, "I haven't even become my second cousin yet, and some people are impatient."

Jingshu has always been on good terms with her, and she doesn't mince words when in front of her. She directly asks: "What are your plans? Do you really want to make peace with her?"

In this world, a woman has no way out if she divorces. She can only return to her parents' home, but she cannot stay in her parents' home for a long time. Big families have family temples. In order to minimize the impact of a woman abandoned by her husband's family, the mother clan usually Send these women to the family temple. It is even more miserable for ordinary people who do not have a family temple. Most of them go to the temple to become nuns.

Even so, other sisters in the family will inevitably suffer. Those who are married are better off, but those who are to be married and those who are not married will have to suffer a lot in terms of marriage.

 So, in the previous life, even if Jingshu misunderstood Li Ling and lived a miserable life with him, she was not willing to make peace with him.

She thought that Xu Wanning did not want to reconcile. Although leaving a scumbag like Li Xian would indeed make her angry, it would also cause great harm to herself and her family. She also has two young children, not to mention Zhenguo. Is it impossible for a divorced woman to take away the child from a family like the Gongfu, even if it is an ordinary people's family, and let the child fall into the hands of the stepmother and suffer the consequences? How could Xu Wanning bear it?

Sure enough, Xu Wanning sneered and replied to Jingshu: "I have been married to the Duke of Zhenguo for ten years. I have worked hard to raise children for him. Why should I give up my position to others? Let my children suffer Stepmother is so angry that she lives by looking at other people's faces?"

Xu Wanning said categorically: "I will not reconcile. Even if I hate that **** Li Xian, I will occupy the position of the head wife and fight him to the end. Let me go down obediently and satisfy him and others. Don’t even think about it!”

Jing Shu also understands and agrees with Xu Wanning's mood and choice.

 Why should I let others enjoy the home that I have worked so hard for for more than ten years?

Jing Shu said to Xu Wanning: "You are right. If you make peace, you can only go to the family temple to live a life of poverty. Where can there be a decent and honorable lady in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion? Besides, if you leave like this, my brother and sister will His future has been completely ruined. Although the eldest brother has gone too far, he cannot be so advantaged. We will not give up our position. Those who are eyeing the position of a eldest lady like you will never be satisfied." Xu Wanning said leisurely: "That's it. That's reasonable, but now even if I don't agree with the divorce, that **** Li Xian believes that I killed Mei Niang and is determined to reconcile."

Jingshu replied: "If the sister-in-law doesn't want to divorce, then we have a way to make it impossible for him to divorce even if he wants to."

 Xu Wanning and Jing Shu's analysis was accurate. Xu Wanning had not yet left the hall, but the person who was eyeing the position of the hostess of Bitang had already entered the hall.

Li Xian hid in the house and drank alcohol all day, fell asleep on the table in a daze.

Guo Cuiyan came into the room with a bowl of sobering soup. She put the bowl on the table, raised her hand and lit a candle, shook the sleepy Li Xian and said: "Cousin, wake up."

Li Xian raised his head, rubbed his eyes, and saw Guo Cuiyan again, he asked: "Did mother ask you to come here again?"

In the past few days, Guo Cuiyan came to visit Li Xian again and again in Guo's name. Although Li Xian felt comforted, he was a scholar after all, and he was not without any conscience.

His pregnant concubine had just passed away, and he and his wife, who had been with him for more than ten years, were in the process of quarreling with each other. Even if he had an admiration for Lin Xia Zhi Feng's little cousin, he couldn't think of anything else at this time.

 However, he had no intention of resisting Guo Cuiyan's repeated gentle attacks.

After hearing Li Xian's words, Guo Cuiyan was not annoyed at all. Instead, she smiled and said: "Look at what my cousin said, my aunt has to let me come to see you before I can come? I entered the mansion, and thanks to my cousin's many cares, now you It’s when you’re feeling unhappy, how can I, as a sister, watch you feel uncomfortable and remain indifferent.”

After saying these sensible words, Guo Cuiyan took the bowl of sobering soup and put it in front of Li Xian, saying: "A small drink will make you happy, but drinking a lot will harm your body. How come my cousin doesn't know how to take care of his own body? Drink this sobering soup quickly." That’s it.”

Faced with the beauty's affection, Li Xian always found it difficult to refuse. She took the soup bowl, drank it all in one gulp, and said to Guo Cuiyan, "Thank you very much, cousin."

Guo Cuiyan sat down opposite Li Xian and whispered softly: "The sage said, 'When heaven is about to give a great responsibility to this person, he must first work **** his determination.' My cousin was the top pick in high school at the age of eighteen. What a talented person he is now. Why is it so difficult to recover after such a small setback?"

It is impossible for his wife Xu Wanning to say such considerate words. Li Xian felt sad for her and couldn't help but have a good impression of this little girl.

But in front of the person he loves, he can't admit that he is so sad because of his failed career. Li Xian made up for himself: "I can always look past these things in the ups and downs of officialdom. I just feel sorry for your sister-in-law." , I have been married to her for more than ten years, but she was so indifferent to me and brutally killed my unborn child. And that beautiful girl, after all, she has been with me for so long, but she was able to commit such a murderous act, hey! It’s okay for her to mess around with me on weekdays, but in this case, she disappointed me so much.”

This is what Guo Cuiyan wants to hear.

She listened patiently as Li Xian expressed his many dissatisfaction with Xu Wanning, and slowly advised her, "My cousin really went too far in this matter. Not to mention a person like my cousin, who is just an ordinary citizen and a wife." You shouldn't put your husband's flesh and blood to death. Seeing how kind-hearted my cousin-in-law is on weekdays, I really can't believe that she would do such a cruel thing."

Guo Cuiyan looked at Li Xian with filled eyes, and said angrily: "How can my cousin's virtue be worthy of a person like my cousin?"
