Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 207 Murong Lizhu

 Half a month later, the old lady’s natal family, the Murong family from Jiangdong, came to Beijing.

Those who came were Murong King's third brother Murong Zhengde, and his elder brother Murong King's eldest son Murong Hua, and the second son Murong Xuan and his newlywed wife. The princess Murong Jianing and the old lady specifically mentioned that King Murong's deceased child Murong Lizhu, the orphan girl left behind by her younger brother.

Distinguished guests came from afar, and the town government palace suddenly became lively.

Although they are close relatives, Murong is respected as the vassal king, and it is not convenient to travel to and from the capital. It is not easy for the old lady to see her mother's family.

In the banquet hall where the distinguished guests were sitting, the entire family of the Duke of Zhenguo, except the eldest princess, gathered.

Murong Zhengde, the nephew of the old lady, sat under the old lady, looked at the descendants of the Li family, and said with a smile: "I haven't been to Beijing for more than ten years, and I can't recognize these brothers. "

Murong Zhengde's eyes swept over the Li brothers one by one, and he joked to the old lady with a smile: "Aunt, among your grandchildren, I think Brother Ling has not changed much. I remember that he always liked to stretch out when he was a child. Keep a straight face."

 One sentence made the big furniture laugh.

Nanny Qiu on the side was brought by the old lady from Jiangdong Palace. Before the old lady left the cabinet, she often followed the old lady to coax the young Murong Zhengde.

Hearing this, Aunt Qiu smiled and joked: "Uncle, please don't say that to our eldest son. Ever since Brother Ling got married, his cold face has become much warmer."

 Aunt Qiu’s words made the scene laugh again.

Li Ling was not annoyed when his elders teased him. He just turned his head and looked at his wife tenderly.

　　When mentioning the grandson's daughter-in-law, the old lady ordered Jingshu and Xu Wanning to come forward and introduce her to her nephew: "This is Brother Xian's daughter-in-law, and this is Brother Ling's daughter-in-law."

The two nephews were getting married, but Murong Zhengde couldn't come over. He raised his eyes and looked at the two nephews' wives, and said to the old lady with a smile: "My aunt is so lucky. The two granddaughter-in-laws are as good as each other."

 The old lady looked proud, smiled and showed some modesty, and introduced the female relatives from her mother's family to the two grandsons-in-law.

The wife of the second son, Murong Xuan, Ruan, is a standard Jiangnan beauty. She is fair and exquisite, and her movements are gentle.

Princess Murong's daughter, Murong Jianing is the apple of King Murong's eye. She is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but she is also a little beauty with a more lively and cheerful temperament.

Murong Lizhu, the orphan girl of the Murong family who the old lady had specially told her was the most beautiful among these female relatives. She was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a face like a hibiscus and a slender eyebrow. She was a very beautiful beauty. Although Murong Lizhu was an orphan, perhaps it was because she was raised in the palace since she was a child. Her behavior was grand and her rules and etiquette were very thorough.

After the banquet, Xu Wanning accompanied Murong Jianing to the cave, while Jing Shu accompanied Murong Lizhu.

Although they are both daughters of the Murong family, in this world, distinction between superiority and inferiority is the most important thing. Jingshu put a lot of thought into arranging the courtyard where everyone will stay.

Murong Jianing was the princess's daughter, so she naturally lived in Yongju Hall, which was the most elegant place to entertain female guests in the palace. Although Murong Lizhu was also raised in the palace, she was the daughter of King Murong's late brother's family. After all, she was a commoner. Compared to Murong Jianing, he was much shorter in terms of status.

Naturally, the two people’s places of descent cannot be of the same level.

But the old lady told her something, and she must have felt pity for this grandniece, so Jingshu placed her in Yongxiang Garden.

This place is naturally inferior to Murong Jianing’s Yongju Hall, but the beauty is that it is right next to the old lady’s Anxi Hall. The old lady wanted to take more care of her fatherless grandniece privately, which would be very convenient, and Murong Lizhu would also feel the care of her relatives more.

　　When listening to the old lady talking about Murong Lizhu's life experience, Jing Shu thought that Murong Lizhu must be a sensitive and somewhat pessimistic person.

After all, she has no father or mother, and she is a concubine. It is said that among the nobles in Jiangdong, it is said that she has a tough life. She will not only defeat her parents, but will also be able to defeat her husband in the future. Therefore, although she has already reached the age of hair, her marriage is still ongoing. No whereabouts.

 Such a woman is undoubtedly a pitiful person.

But the current Murong Lizhu has greatly subverted Jing Shu's initial thoughts about her. Not only does she behave dignified and generous, but she also speaks well, making people fall in love with her when they come into contact with her. After settling down Murong Lizhu, Jingshu said goodbye to her and walked back with her maid. She met Xu Wanning just halfway there.

Jingshu spoke first: "Cousin Jianing, are everything settled over there?"

Xu Wanning replied, but she was anxious to tell her about another thing.

"Why are you talking about the Guo family's cousin being so shameless? I just went to see my cousin Lizhu back, and I saw her catching my third brother who had left the banquet, and she was holding a pot of hangover soup in her hand. I was so angry. I have offended the third brother and hurt her again. I have never seen such a shameless person. I couldn't stand it when I looked at her. In the middle of the night, she took advantage of her again.

Jing Shu can naturally understand Guo Cuiyan's thoughts, but she is Guo's niece after all. She came to defect to Guo, and she didn't catch anyone with anything, so it's always hard to open her mouth to chase people away.

But the reputation of the brother-in-law cannot be compromised. Although Li Xiang broke the rules and asked for the maid Jiao Xing, this was only because the family rules in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion were strict and could not tolerate this. If it were left to other people, it would not be a big deal at all. , Besides, that Jiao Xing is a lowly person, and she will be an aunt in the future.

Although Guo Cuiyan's natal family has fallen into decline, she is still the legitimate daughter of an official family. Li Xiang has a simple temper. If she really falls in love with her, he will have to take her as his wife.

Speaking of this, Jing Shu was also upset. She sighed: "This daughter of the Guo family is so difficult to deal with, what should I do?"

Xu Wanning was also worried: "Unless my mother-in-law starts to drive her away, she is the most selfish person and has always been confused by Guo Cuiyan. There is no way she can drive her precious niece away."

Jingshu suggested helplessly: "Otherwise, let's find her an in-law and marry her off."

Xu Wanning sneered and said, "Let's just accumulate some. That's it. It won't be a disaster to marry into any family."

It really is!

Jingshu said helplessly: "Then I really have no choice. With the second aunt protecting me, I can't force her to leave."

Xu Wanning suggested to Jing Shu: "How about asking the second brother to drive her away? The person my mother-in-law is most afraid of in this house, besides my grandmother, is the second brother. If the second brother drives someone away, she won't dare to say anything. "

The principle is this.

But the dignified prince Li Ling asked him to drive out a weak woman living in the house. If the Guo family spread the news, it would damage the husband's reputation.

Jingshu glared at Xu Wanning and said with a smile, "Why don't you let the eldest brother speak and chase her away?"

Xu Wanning smacked her lips and said helplessly: "I did mention it to him, but he was afraid of his old lady who could be a monster and didn't dare to speak."

Xu Wanning suggested again: "Otherwise, let grandma drive her away."

Jingshu hesitated and said: "Grandma is the most honorable person. Doesn't she know that Guo Cuiyan is restless? She has never spoken, so she can't lose her face."

Xu Wanning sighed deeply: "Then we can just let her do evil and cause trouble in this house? Is there really nothing we can do with her?"

Jingshu thought for a moment, then leaned in front of Xu Wanning and said, "It's not impossible."

As she spoke, she followed Xu Wanning and muttered like this.

After hearing what Jing Shu said, Xu Wanning was pleasantly surprised and said, "You still have more ideas."
