Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 187 The old lady wants to take a concubine for Li Ling?

Mother Qiu couldn't help but said: "Brother Ling is the eldest son, and the second lady is like this, do you have to make any plans?"

After hearing this, the old lady slowly put down the snack in her hand and sighed: "This matter is really embarrassing. If Shu'er really can't give birth to an heir, Ling Geer will bear the burden of being the heir. How can we break off the queen? If this is the case, I will not be able to face the Li ancestors of the Li family a hundred years from now."

Aunt Qiu also followed the old lady and sighed: "That's not the case. Brother Ling's daughter-in-law is filial and sensible. She really has no choice. But such a thing has to happen to her. What a god!" unfair."

The old lady asked: "I have been sick recently. How do you think Shu'er is doing lately?"

Aunt Qiu replied: "I think it's much better than before. I take care of things as usual every day, and everything in the house is still in good order."

  The old lady nodded: "It's not easy for this child to be able to do this in such a difficult situation."

The old lady asked again: "I haven't seen Ling Geer for a while, and I don't know what he is busy with these days."

Aunt Qiu said with a smile: "Ever since I learned that the second lady is infertile, the prince has taken his daughter-in-law out to relax whenever he has free time, or just accompany her to talk in the room to relieve boredom. I heard that he is also following the second lady. The hall has taken care of several things."

After hearing what Aunt Qiu said, the old lady couldn't help but laugh: "I wonder why I haven't seen him for a while. He comes to my place every now and then and just clicks his thumb and leaves. Hmph, it does hurt. My wife’s.”

Aunt Qiu agreed, "Isn't that right? Ever since the Second Madam came into contact with this matter, the prince has been covering his wife in his hands to protect her, for fear that she would be wronged in the slightest."

The old lady was silent for a while, then looked at Aunt Qiu and said, "Look at how hard Brother Ling protects his wife, what else can I do about this matter."

Aunt Qiu sighed and said: "Brother Ling is the eldest son. It is not okay to have no heirs. There are also infertile mistresses in high families. The common way is to bring in a noble concubine and raise him until he gives birth to a son." At the knees of my mistress.”

The old lady waved her hand and replied: "This method is the best of both worlds, but I'm afraid it won't work on Ling Geer."

She glanced at Aunt Qiu and said, "You don't know that this child has a bad temper. Once he identifies someone, he can no longer tolerate others."

Aunt Qiu nodded: "That's right. I think the prince's attitude is such that it would be difficult for him to accept others. But he is the prince after all, and he has a heavy burden on his shoulders."

With that said, Aunt Qiu mentioned to the old lady: "Do you still remember Miss Zhou from the Minister of Industry's house?"

The old lady thought for a while and asked: "But the one that Mrs. Wang came to mention to Brother Ling, I remember the big name is Zhou Qing?"

Aunt Qiu replied: "This is the child I'm talking about."

She leaned in front of the old lady and replied: "The day before yesterday, Granny Wang came to see me again. What she meant was that Miss Zhou was still thinking about our eldest son."

When the old lady heard this, she was surprised. She asked doubtfully: "It's true that she is infatuated. But don't their family know that our brother Ling got married long ago? Why do we come to mention this to you?" Sister Qiu replied : "Although I know that the prince has a wife, I heard that Miss Zhou is still infatuated with her. The child is now nineteen and is still waiting to be married. The girl was born like Zhou Zheng and has some talents in the capital. She comes to talk to matchmakers. There are quite a few, but I heard that she has never been willing to marry."

The old lady wondered: "What's the point? What can she do if she thinks about Brother Ling again?"

She glanced at Aunt Qiu: "This child Shu'er has done everything in our family since she was married, without making any mistakes. Even if she cannot make a living for the Li family, our family will never abandon her." Yes, does the Zhou family have any evil thoughts?"

Aunt Qiu replied: "Then they don't dare. They just listen to what Mrs. Wang wants. It seems that Miss Zhou is willing to be a side room."

 How shrewd and perceptive the old lady is.

The eldest daughter of a housekeeper with a good family background, is she really so infatuated that she is willing to be a mistress for others?

After hearing this, the old lady was stunned for a while, and then sneered and said: "I'm afraid the real intention of the Zhou family girl is not to be willing to be inferior to others."

The old lady waved her hand: "Let's forget about this matter. Even if Ling Geer agrees, I'm still worried that she is restless and will make the house uneasy. I'm afraid of the big room."

Aunt Qiu sighed and said, "I don't think it's safe either. You said that the Zhou family's family status is not low, but it doesn't make sense that Miss Zhou is willing to be a concubine."

She looked at the old lady and said, "That Mrs. Wang is also a shrewd person. I guess the Zhou family asked her to carry it out. She was afraid of losing face, so she was too embarrassed to tell you directly, so she came to find me."

The old lady thought for a moment and said calmly: "Even if you don't tell me directly, let's talk about it later, and you can try to find out more about Miss Zhou's character and temperament."

The old lady sighed, and continued: "I can't decide on Brother Ling's affairs alone. Although Fu Xi is not in the house, she is his mother after all. I will ask her what she wants after a while. .”

 There is no airtight wall in the world. Although the old lady did not directly respond to the Zhou family, her servants heard the news and hurriedly reported the news to Qingfengyuan.

Although Jingshu is not the kind of narrow-minded person who likes to listen to other people's opinions, she respects her as the mistress of the princess's palace, and there is always no shortage of servants who are eager to please her.

Ziyun was shocked after hearing this letter. Now her young lady can't do anything for the Li family. Even if the old lady loves her master, she must put the heir first. If the old lady insists on making the decision for the prince, If I take a concubine, what should my young lady do?

At this moment, Jingshu was leaning on Eminem's lap and squinting in the room. There were only two people in the room. Eminem stroked her hair and slowly persuaded: "I know the pain in your heart, but fortunately, uncle I treat you wholeheartedly. My uncle has spent a lot of time trying to help you out these days. After leaving the house in the early morning, he would always sneak back and peek at you secretly. When he comes back from work, he would also secretly peek at you outside. It took a while before he was willing to come in. Privately, my uncle also asked me and Ziyun about your situation at home during the day. "

Ammu looked at Jingshu and said, "I am looking at you with cold eyes. This uncle is sincerely good to you. For the sake of my uncle, you should really cheer up."

After Jingshu heard this, tears flowed out involuntarily again. She murmured: "I always feel that I owe him so much. Do I really want him to die because of me? Eminem, I really don't want to I dare to think about how we should go on in the future. I am afraid that this matter is not something we can control."

Ziyun heard about the Zhou family coming to propose marriage, and was about to tell her master when she entered the house and burst into tears after hearing Jingshu's words.
