Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 183 Inquiring about my wife

Li Ling, who was being used by Xu Wanning to intimidate Guo Cuiyan, had just returned from the camp.

He strode back to Qingfeng Garden. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he caught a glimpse of Ziyun coming out of the hall. Li Ling waved to Ziyun.

Ziyun knew that her uncle was going to ask about her young lady's condition that day again, so she walked up to Li Ling in a tacit understanding.

Sure enough, Li Ling opened his mouth with the same old question he always asked when he came back every day: "How is Madam doing today?"

Ziyun replied truthfully: "Madam has been working in the front hall for the first half of the day. She came back for the second half of the day and took a nap. Now she is reading a book in the room."

Li Ling asked again: "Is there anyone who disobeys my wife when I serve as a director in the front yard?"

Ziyun thought for a while, shook his head, and replied truthfully: "No one dares to disobey Madam. In the past, the second wife Guo always came over to ask for this and that. Ever since the uncle became ill, the second wife has rarely seen anything these days. I ordered someone to come over to bother Madam, but today I ordered someone to come back to Madam, saying that it is winter hunting and if the female relatives of our house go there, the Second Madam would like the cousin girl of the Guo family to follow her, but Madam did not respond, and the Second Madam will not be very happy."

After hearing this, Li Ling's face darkened and he asked, "How is Madam's diet today?"

Ziyun told Li Ling everything about Jingshu's diet today.

After listening to Ziyun's words, Li Ling saw that his wife was indeed much better these days than before. He nodded slightly, handed Ziyun a large bag of snacks in his hand, and said: "This is the Zhen cake that Madam likes to eat." , just take it and cut it."

Ziyun took the big bun of Zhen Gao and held it heavily in his hand, weighing three or four kilograms.

She couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly murmured in her heart: This uncle is really stubborn. If he wants to please the lady, he can't just buy food to make her happy, and he always buys so much. My lady is not actually a glutton. of.

Seeing that her uncle was so straightforward, Ziyun finally couldn't help but suggest: "Madam has a delicate heart and prefers novel things. If the prince wants to make madam happy, why not use some other methods."

At this time, Li Ling was racking his brains to think of comforting his wife, but he was really not good at coaxing women, and all he could think of was buying her favorite food to coax her. Now, he has bought all the snacks in Chang'an City, and he is also worried about this. After listening to Ziyun's suggestion, Li Ling quickly asked: "Ziyun, you have been following Madam, so naturally you know her better than me. My hobbies, please tell me quickly what my wife likes."

Ziyun replied: "Madam likes elegant things like music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and also likes the exquisite and rare gadgets in the antique shop on West Street. She also likes shopping, and she also likes to go to Rouge Jewelry Shop to pick out the things she likes."

Li Ling scratched his head and said to himself: "So that's how it is."

Ziyun glanced at her uncle's silly look and felt really worried for him.

Li Ling thought for a while and asked Ziyun: "I took my wife to play on the ice a while ago, and I took her to the camp to watch the soldiers training. Didn't she like it?"

Although Ziyun never heard Jingshu complain to her about this, her young lady followed the prince to the camp for a day that day, and when she came back, she took several baths before giving up. The soldiers in the military camp were covered in dust when they were practicing. My girl always likes to be clean, so how could she bear it? Besides, the young lady has a gentle and quiet temperament. She only loves red makeup, and she is not as aggressive as the eldest lady. Taking her to the military camp to watch those rough guys training, no wonder this uncle came up with it.

Ziyun smiled bitterly. She also knew that her uncle was trying very hard to please his young lady, but it was hard to tell the truth and let him down.

Ziyun just hesitated and said: "I didn't hear Madam say she liked it, but I didn't hear her say she didn't like it either."

Li Ling scratched his head and thought for a moment, then replied to Ziyun: "I understand."

Ziyun gave Li Ling a slight smile and was about to step back to cut the cake for Jingshu, when Li Ling said again: "Thank you for telling me this. Think about what else Madam likes, and let me know as soon as you think of it. "

Ziyun readily agreed, and Li Ling strode towards the main room.

When he arrived at the door, Li Ling was not in a hurry to go in. He leaned on the window next to the door and looked into the room, wondering if his little wife was feeling sad again when she was alone. Seeing that she was just leaning on the couch quietly reading a book, Li Ling finally calmed down a little. He pushed the door open and entered the room, showing a hearty smile to his wife: "I'm back, it's really cold here today."

Jingshu raised her eyes and saw Li Ling returning. She quickly got up and went to the ground to help her husband change. As soon as she stretched out her hand, Li Ling took her hand, and then he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.

Jingshu smiled and helped him take off his cloak. Li Ling leaned over and hugged her back to the warm couch. He sat next to her, chattering to his wife about what happened in the camp that day.

Although Jingshu was not very interested in these things, she also knew that Li Ling, who was originally quiet, was deliberately looking for something to talk to her. Knowing his painstaking efforts, Jingshu leaned on the couch and listened quietly.

The two were chatting here when Ziyun came in with the cut cakes and placed them on the small table with a folded edge. He smiled and said to Jingshu: "This is the cake that the prince bought for you when he came back. Wrapped in layers of oil paper, it’s still hot.”

Li Ling tied a piece with a small bamboo skewer, handed it to Jingshu's mouth, and said with a smile: "I know you like sweets, eat some while they are hot."

Jingshu took a bite and praised: "This tastes very good."

As she spoke, she said to Li Ling: "You should also take a bite and try it."

Although Li Ling didn't like sweets, after listening to his wife's words, he still ate obediently with Jing Shu.

 Unknowingly, the two of them devoured a plate of cakes.

Ziyun, who was standing aside, asked, "The prince has bought a lot of them. I'll go cut some more."

Jingshu replied: "No need, I can't eat it either."

Li Ling remembered that just before entering the house, Ziyun had mentioned to him that the Guo family asked Jingshu to let Guo Cuiyan go to Dongwei. He said to Ziyun: "You will ask Tongzhuan to go to Songletang to return to the second aunt." , that’s what I mean, our family can only go to the winter hunt with three female dependents, and we can’t bring our cousin with us.”

Ziyun glanced at Jingshu and readily agreed to go.

Jingshu smiled and said to Li Ling: "I can handle this trivial matter, so why do you have to be a bad person for me?"

 Li Ling had a sullen face and said angrily, "I didn't know that the second aunt would come to trouble you again and again. This second aunt is really getting more and more confused as she gets older. She only bullies her biological daughter-in-law, but she dares to bully you."

Mr. Guo is indeed more difficult to deal with, but it is true that she dares to take Xu Wanning as her daughter-in-law. She is indeed very scrupulous about Jingshu, but she only relies on her status to ask for some benefits and privileges from her.

　　It can’t be said that he bullied her.

With that said, Li Ling patted Jing Shu and said, "Don't be afraid of her. If she comes to trouble you again in the future, just tell me and I will deal with her."

 Ever since she suffered this setback, Li Ling has always been worried that someone will bully her, and he really wants to hold her in his mouth to feel relieved.

Jing Shu obeyed in her heart and said to Li Ling: "Don't worry, I'm not that useless. I can handle these trivial matters at home."
