Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 271 Li Ling is having trouble

After bidding farewell to Jiang Youchen, Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling, who was still sitting in the car with a sullen face, and couldn't help but smile and said: "What do you think a grown man like you is arguing with a woman like Eminem? If outsiders see it, , Aren’t you laughing at your petty attitude?”

Li Ling looked at his wife and asked, "Did you like being with Ah Chen so much when you were a child?"

Jingshu saw that Li Ling's jealousy hadn't passed yet, so she scolded him and said, "We were both young at that time and grew up with my aunt. Isn't it normal to spend more time together?"

Li Ling's thin lips moved, but without saying a word, he tilted his head slightly.

Jingshu came up to him, glanced at his gloomy and aggrieved face, and asked slightly teasingly: "Are you angry?"

Seeing that Li Ling still refused to agree, Jing Shu held his sleeve and said, "You really ignored me because of this?"

"That's not true." Although Li Ling said this, his face was still cold.

You are all about to be a father, yet you are still so stingy!

Jingshu knew that Li Ling had a temper. Seeing that he was so ignorant, she simply didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so she leaned on the chariot wall and closed her eyes to rest.

 After a while, a soft pillow was stuffed under her waist. Jingshu opened her eyes and asked, "Are you not angry anymore?"

 “What can I be angry about?” He said this, but his face was still clouded.

 Let’s see how long you can stay angry!

Jingshu sneered in her heart and leaned against the soft pillow and closed her eyes again.

After entering the house, a steward came to tell Jingshu that the old lady had invited her to come over.

Jingshu agreed and was about to follow the steward to Anxi Hall, but was pulled back by Li Ling: "I've been working hard for a long time. If I'm tired, I'll go back to my grandmother and go back tomorrow."

Jingshu snorted coldly and said angrily to Li Ling: "Are you not sulky anymore? Are you finally willing to pay attention to me?"

Li Ling said harshly: "I'm afraid that you'll tire out my child if you work too hard."

Jingshu snorted coldly and said to Li Ling: "The baby is in my belly, I'm afraid you can't help it."

As she spoke, she caressed her slightly bulging belly, left Li Ling behind, and turned towards An Xitang.

The old lady has been carefully looking for Murong Lizhu's husband. A while ago, Xu Wanning mentioned to the old lady the third son of the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion. Although the title of the Earl's Mansion was lower, these three young men were handsome and motivated. The person, like Li Yu, had just won the imperial examination last year.

Jingshu entered Anxi Hall and saw that Xu Wanning was there, so she guessed that the old lady must have come to discuss her marriage with the Earl's Mansion.

As expected, when Jingshu entered Anxi Hall and sat down, the old lady came to the point and said, "I invite you here today to discuss Lizhu's marriage."

After hearing this, Xu Wanning replied: "I mentioned the Earl's Palace Saburo last time. Grandma still hasn't made up her mind?"

The old lady said: "The old lady from the Earl's Mansion had some friendship with me in the early years. She invited me to go there for this matter the day before yesterday. I also met Sanlang's child. He is a neat person, and he is courteous and courteous to others."

Xu Wanning asked: "Since grandma has already taken control of her eyes, what else does she have to worry about?"

The old lady paused, looked at the two daughters-in-law and said, "How did I hear that the second son of the Earl's Mansion brought in a noble concubine last year?" When the old lady mentioned the second son of the Earl's Mansion, Xu Wanning replied: "The second son of his family. The madam is a concubine of the former Minister of War. She was raised by her mistress before she was released. She is a virtuous and courteous person. She has been married to the Earl's Palace for seven or eight years. At the beginning, the couple were very affectionate. I only heard that this Two years is not very good."

When the old lady heard this, she frowned slightly and said, "I remember that Feng Jin, the minister who used to serve in the Ministry of War, was transferred to another place because of some mistakes, right?"

Xu Wanning nodded and said, "It seems that he was transferred to the north because of corruption."

The old lady sighed and said, "Is it possible that Erlang felt disgusted when he saw that his wife's natal family was in decline?"

Xu Wanning blurted out: "No way, his second son has been serving in the Imperial College, and his reputation has always been good."

 The old lady shook her head: "This person knows people, faces but not hearts. It's hard to say this."

Xu Wanning smiled and said: "Even if the second son of his family has a bad character, it does not mean that the third son is also like this."

The old lady said: "The one who crawled out of a mother's belly is always not too different. If their second husband is a sanctimonious person, I'm afraid even the third one will be hard to trust."

Although Xu Wanning didn't agree with what the old lady said in her heart, she didn't want to disobey the old lady. She only said nonchalantly: "If the mistress is not interested in her, then I will refuse her."

Xu Wanning was not a person who was good at hiding her emotions. The old lady was such a refined person that she couldn't see the displeasure of her grandson-in-law. She hurriedly explained: "I know you have been worried a lot about Lizhu, but Your cousin has a special background, so I have to think more about her marriage."

With that said, the old lady looked at Jing Shu again: "Shu'er, what do you think of this marriage in the Earl's Mansion?"

The old lady knew that Jingshu was a cautious person. Although she loved both of her grandsons-in-law, when big things happened, she trusted this grandson-in-law more.

Not long ago, Jing Shu took a fancy to the eldest son of the second eldest son of the Duke of Jin's palace. This man's family background, talent and character were all outstanding, but the old lady was wary of the other daughters-in-law of the Duke of Jin's palace being too high-born, and worried about Murong Lizhu. When I got married, I was looked down upon by others, so I just let it go.

The current Third Young Master of the Earl's Palace was mentioned by Xu Wanning. Jing Shu didn't know this person very well, so naturally she couldn't say much. She only replied truthfully: "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't know much about this Third Young Master of the Earl's Palace, so it's hard to judge this sect. marriage."

The old lady lowered her eyes and thought about it for a moment, but still felt that it was not appropriate, so she said decisively: "Then let's forget about the Earl's Mansion."

In the two years since Murong Lizhu came to the Duke's Mansion, Xu Wanning and Jing Shu have been worrying about her marriage. They have been looking for more than a dozen children of powerful people, but they were all rejected by the old lady for one reason or another. Rejected.

As the saying goes, no gold is pure and no man is perfect. The old man loves Murong Lizhu and worries about her being unkind, which is kind-hearted, but he is always so picky, which inevitably makes people impatient.

Xu Wanning smiled and said helplessly: "Since grandma doesn't take this seriously, my siblings and I will just help my cousin keep an eye on it."

The two of them said goodbye to the old lady. As soon as they walked out of Anxi Hall, they saw Li Ling standing outside the door.

When Jingshu saw Li Ling coming over, she only glanced at him indifferently, but Xu Wanning joked: "Second brother is looking for a wife again? Why don't you go in?"

 Li Ling was speechless, turned around and walked ahead.

Xu Wanning poked Jingshu beside her and asked quietly: "Second brother, what's wrong? Are you guys at odds?"

Jing Shu rolled her eyes at Li Ling's back and did not answer. She just picked up the important points and said: "Cousin Lizhu will be eighteen after this year. The marriage has not been settled yet, and my grandmother is so picky. It's really annoying." impatient."
