Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 224 The truth (2)

Li Ling accompanied Jing Shu back to Shen's Mansion. Jing Shu said to Li Ling, "Wang has done this to me. I'm afraid it's hard for my father to see you now. Just wait for me outside."

 Father Shen was a noble man, but his wife made his daughter infertile. Now, he naturally has no face to see the Li family.

Li Ling understood his wife's intention, he nodded and said "ok", then he took a long step and got out of the car first, and carefully helped his wife out of the car.

Looking at his wife's frail figure walking towards the house, Li Ling's heart ached. He wholeheartedly protected his wife and didn't want her to suffer even the slightest grievance. But why was God so ruthless, always treating these injuries so cruelly? Human affairs fell upon her.

Li Ling really wished he had to endure this for his wife.

He stood behind Jingshu and called her softly: "Madam."

Jingshu turned around, Li Ling looked at her and said softly: "I'll be waiting for you here, don't be afraid."

Jingshu smiled knowingly at Li Ling and replied, "Don't worry."

 After saying that, she stepped into the house.

Father Shen felt guilty about his wife and daughter. Since the Wang family interrogated the cause of his beloved wife's death, he no longer had any worries in his heart. After Wang committed suicide, he became ill and unable to get up.

Jingshu returned to Shen's Mansion and went straight to her father. He looked at his father who was sleeping on the bed. However, in the past few days, his father seemed to have become much older.

Jingshu sat next to her father. She held his father's hand distressedly and whispered, "Daddy, Shu'er is back."

Shen De'an, who was sleeping, heard his beloved daughter's call. He slowly opened his eyes and saw that his eldest daughter was indeed back. He hurriedly struggled to get up, but was held down by Jing Shu: "Father is so ill, and he can lie down peacefully." That’s it.”

Shen De'an held the eldest daughter's hand instead and sighed: "My father can't help you and your mother."

Jingshu comforted her father and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable. Wang seems to be honest and honest, but she hid it too deeply, so we didn't see her vicious heart. We can't blame my father for this, and neither can he." You should blame yourself for this.”

The reason why my father is so haggard is just because of his mother's death and his guilt.

Jingshu touched her father's hand tenderly and said, "You know that your mother loved you more than herself before she was alive. If she had a soul in heaven, she would definitely not want to see you so sad. Besides, Mrs. Wang has now received Punishment, my mother is still alive and can rest in peace."

Shen De'an looked at this daughter who had always been sensible and considerate, and shed tears of joy: "You married into the Duke of Zhenguo's palace, which is a high marriage, and now our natal family has harmed you like this. As a father, I am worried that the Li family will despise us because of this. You have a hard time there.”

It was enough to criticize her for not being able to do anything for the Li family. Now that she learned that it was her mother's family who did this, it naturally made people gossip even more.

In the past, Jingshu would definitely care about this, but now that she has experienced so many changes, Li Ling has been silently guarding her. With her husband's deep love, Jingshu has become strong and optimistic.

 With the support and understanding of her lover, she is not afraid of any storm.

Jingshu stretched out her hand to try to wipe away her father's tears: "Don't worry, father. My husband is protecting me, and no one will make things difficult for my daughter. Moreover, the cause of the disease has been found out now, and my daughter is still young. She takes good care of her, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to maintain her health well."

She still smiled at her father as usual, making people warm and obedient. "Father, don't worry about your daughter. You, on the other hand, must cheer up. Your daughter lost her mother early, but she can't live without you. Besides, her brothers and sisters are still young, so they need to rely on you even more."

　　When mentioning his young children, Shen De'an opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and hesitated: "Lan'er, she"

The palms and backs of her hands were all flesh. Even though her father felt more sorry for her, Shen Jinglan was her father's biological flesh and blood after all. How could Jingshu not understand her father's painstaking efforts.

She patted her father's hand and comforted her: "The Wang family did everything that harmed me. Even if Lan'er misses Li Ling, I believe she will not do anything to harm me. Don't worry, father." , as long as my brothers and sisters still recognize me as the eldest sister, I will love and protect them as before."

Father Shen couldn't help but shed tears again. He held his daughter's hand and said, "Father, I don't want to wrong you like this, and I don't want others to laugh at you. You don't have to do anything for them anymore, and Father will never do it again." Let Xing'er go to that official school, people like us are not qualified."

Jingshu quickly comforted her father and said: "The Wang family is the Wang family. The evil she has done has come back to bite her and she has been punished by God. As for the brothers and sisters, they are my biological brothers and sisters. My daughter will not be angry because of the Wang family." For the younger brothers and sisters.”

Jingshu values ​​​​family affection very much. Although she really does not want her relationship with her siblings to be affected because of the Wang family, others may not think so.

As soon as Jingshu came out of her father's house, she met Shen Jinglan who had been waiting for Jingshu outside for a long time.

Shen Jinglan was dressed in mourning clothes, looking at Jing Shu with malicious eyes, and blurted out words of resentment.

“You killed my mother, do you still have the nerve to come back?”

Jingshu calmly replied: "I was not the one who killed your mother, she was killed by her own greed."

 After saying this, Jing Shu didn't even look at Shen Jinglan, and walked past her calmly, saying lightly: "This is my home, I can go home at any time."

 She had just promised her father not to anger her younger siblings, but only if they recognized her as their eldest sister. If they were as vicious as the Wang family, then even if she cherished this brotherly love, she would let them go without hesitation.

Moreover, Jingshu already understood Shen Jinglan's wolfish ambitions from the incident of Wang's drugging her. Now she just cares about her father and doesn't want her father, who is already so sad, to be scarred by their sister's fratricide. But this does not It doesn't mean that she will forgive Shen Jinglan.

"Stop." Shen Jinglan called to Jingshu who was about to leave.

Jing Shu stood still, but did not look back. She replied calmly: "Regardless of whether you were involved in drugging me, I will never forgive you again. I only let you go for the sake of my father. Let's The sisterly bond ends here.”

Shen Jinglan walked around to Jingshu and said angrily: "Do you think I care about your hypocritical sisterhood?"

She said angrily: "I'm no worse than you. Ever since I was little, my father has only had eyes for you, the eldest daughter, and how has he ever loved any of us? Huh! Isn't it just because your mother has a better background and my mother has a lower background? ? But we are innocent, we are both the same flesh and blood of our father, but you have always been favored, why?"

Jing Shu looked at Shen Jinglan with a slight sarcasm on her face: "Just because my mother is a kind person and your mother is a vicious person, my father loves his kind ex-wife more, so naturally he prefers my mother more." 's daughter."

Shen Jinglan was so angry that her chest heaved violently: "Yes, my mother did use means to harm you in order for me to marry into the Li family as I wished. But the position of mistress of the Li family should have been mine, and it was you who occupied it. Magpie's nest, my mother tried her best to get it back for me, what's wrong with that?"
