Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 231: Too protective of my wife

Fast to the New Year's Eve, although the Zhenguogong Mansion has experienced many twists and turns this year, fortunately, all misfortunes have been turned into good fortune. After going through these difficulties and obstacles, everyone's mentality has grown.

In addition, Li Xiang has just made a marriage arrangement that satisfies everyone, so the whole family sat together at this year's reunion dinner, and they were also full of joy.

Li Xiang and Pingyang's wedding is scheduled for the next autumn. The Duke of Zhenguo is from an aristocratic family, Li Xiang is the legitimate son, and this marriage is a royal gift from the Holy Emperor. Li Xiang's marriage is naturally complicated and complicated. Although there is still more than half a year to prepare, everything has to be arranged in a hurry.

After the marriage decree was issued, Mrs. Lan specially invited the old lady to visit Prince Yong's Mansion. The old lady was very satisfied with meeting Princess Pingyang.

At the family reunion banquet on New Year’s Eve, the old man couldn’t help but keep talking about his grandson’s wedding: “Although Xiang’er’s Xianglan Garden is very spacious, wouldn’t it be inappropriate to continue living there after marriage?”

As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Li Xiang said anxiously: "I'm used to living in that yard. Even after I get married, I don't want to move anywhere anymore."

After listening to his son's words, the Duke of Zhenguo said: "The yard is big enough. I think it will be enough to expand the garden at the back and renovate the main hall and side halls. If we build a new residence, the project will be huge. It’s too late.”

When the old lady saw the father and son talking like this, she no longer insisted. She just changed the topic and told the two grandsons-in-law: "Wanning and Shu'er are going to have a hard time these days. There are so many things to prepare for the wedding. You guys Let the two of you discuss it, and if you have any doubts about anything, feel free to ask me."

 The two granddaughter-in-laws agreed to come down.

After listening to the old lady's words, Li Ling quietly grabbed his wife's small hand under the table and said to the old lady: "Sister-in-law is neat and tidy, and she has prepared my wedding, so everything is clearly understood." Shu'er Although she is young, she is serious, careful and methodical in her work. In the past two years since she has been in charge of the house, she has already established prestige in the house. Everything in the house is handled in an orderly manner. Everyone in the house is dissatisfied with her. Now she is making preparations The third brother's marriage will naturally be arranged easily, so don't worry about grandma."

 Li Ling was born with a cold face. Although his glacial face had softened to the greatest extent on such a joyful occasion, he still looked dignified and cold.

Such a solemn person, in such a happy occasion, in front of the whole family, sat there with a serious face and praised his wife.

 It looks and sounds indescribably inconsistent and awkward.

As soon as Li Ling said these words, the originally lively table suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

Li Ling saw that everyone suddenly became unresponsive. He looked around and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why is everyone not talking?"

Li Xiang quietly glanced at his brother and the helpless people. In order to ease the awkward atmosphere, he smiled and said: "It's rare to hear second brother praise someone like this."

The third girl next to Li Xiang then joked: "The second brother is obviously praising my two sisters-in-law, but he is obviously praising the second sister-in-law more. It sounds really weird."

Xu Wanning answered with a cheerful smile: "How can your second brother sincerely praise me? You didn't see it. He wanted to praise his wife, but he couldn't say it directly, so he took me out as a foil. "

After hearing this, Li Ling smiled and said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law, you have wronged me. You worked so hard to prepare my wedding, and I will always remember it in my heart."

Xu Wanning ignored Li Ling's good sales. She just looked at her brother-in-law and sister-in-law with a smile and asked, "Tell me, have I wronged your second brother?"

Li Xiang has always been afraid of his elder brother. When he saw that he wanted to take sides, he immediately lowered his head and pretended to be confused and refused to express his position. The third girl saw that Li Xiang was unwilling to offend anyone, and she didn't dare to offend her brother openly. She just hesitated and said: "Well, it's not like the sister-in-law has wronged the second brother. Oh! I'm still young, and I sometimes have to deal with you adults' matters. It’s hard to see clearly.”

Seeing that her two brothers-in-law and sister-in-law were so spineless and helpless, Xu Wanning looked at Murong Lizhu who was sitting next to the old lady unwillingly: "Cousin, what do you think?"

Murong Lizhu smiled faintly and advised Xu Wanning: "For the sake of my second cousin's love and respect for my cousin, my eldest cousin will let him go this time."

As soon as Murong Lizhu said these words, everyone laughed.

Xu Wanning also laughed, but her words were inhumane: "It is a good thing that your cousin loves his wife, but he is just using me as a foil."

 Xu Wanning was halfway through her words, she glanced at Li Ling angrily and snorted: "Second brother, if you ask for anything from me from now on, I won't be able to answer your request."

Li Ling was picking up vegetables for Jing Shu. When he heard this, he immediately put on a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, you have a lot of food. Do you really want to argue with me to the end?"

Xu Wanning glanced at the various dishes piled up like a hill on Jingshu's plate, and teased Li Ling: "Hey! Just take a look. Second brother, I'm not telling you, there are so many dishes, who can compete with your wife?" Can’t do it?”

She pointed at the small plate filled with vegetables in front of Jingshu and said with a smile: "Would you like me to get a big bowl? I think the small dishes in front of my sister and I can't even fit in."

Xu Wanning's words made everyone laugh again.

The third girl glanced at Li Ling, shook her head helplessly, and echoed with a somewhat old-fashioned tone: "My second brother is really protecting his wife to an outrageous degree. Someone should really take care of him." .”

Li Ling glared at his sister: "Isn't it enough to have a sister-in-law to arrange the arrangements for me? Why are you coming along to join in the fun?"

Li Xian picked up chopsticks and put a large piece of braised pork into his wife's bowl nearby. He smiled and said jokingly: "Eat quickly, you are the only one who likes to offend others."

Xu Wanning picked up the braised pork and took a bite, chewing it slowly and swallowing it. She glanced at Li Ling, whose expression remained unchanged even after being teased like this by him, smiled and looked at the old lady sitting at the top and said, "Grandma, If my second brother is like this, you, the old man, won’t take care of me."

The old lady waved her hands with a smile and said: "You are so powerful that you can't take care of it, and I don't want to take care of it anymore. Forget it, just let him go."

Murong Lizhu, who was beside the old lady, heard this, with a gentle smile on her face, and said to Xu Wanning: "Sister-in-law has found the wrong helper. My aunt always loves her grandson-in-law more than her grandson. She The old man is eager to see his grandson protecting his wife, so how can he care about it?"

After hearing this, Xu Wanning looked at Murong Lizhu with a smile and said, "My cousin can understand."

The old lady looked at her grandniece beside her and said to Xu Wanning with a smile: "Your cousin has also reached the age of marriage. After finishing Xiang'er's marriage, your cousin should also pay attention."

Our New Year’s Eve is also the New Year’s Eve at the Zhenguo Government House. What a coincidence!
