Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 272: Concerned about the affairs of the back house

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 frustrating." People are anxious.”

As soon as Jing Shu finished speaking, and before Xu Wanning could answer, Li Ling suddenly turned around and asked the two of them, "Are you going to choose a husband for cousin Lizhu?"

Seeing Li Ling's sudden question, Xu Wanning was surprised and said: "Second brother, what's wrong with you now? I just talked to you with a bluff and ignored you, but now you are concerned about the affairs of the back house."

Jingshu glanced at Li Ling and knew what he was planning. She pulled Xu Wanning aside and said, "Today, cousin Chen moved to a new house. He drank there. Sister-in-law, just ignore him."

Xu Wanning heard Jingshu mentioning Jiang Youchen, her eyes moved slightly and said: "Your cousin is a good boy who is one in a million, just like my cousin Lizhu."

Xu Wanning was halfway through her words, and then she waved her hands and said: "Oh! Let's forget it. With my grandmother's current thoughts, even the best one can find fault with her. Oh! I think Cousin Lizhu's in-laws are also hard to find. "

“I think they are a good match.” Li Ling on the side said what Xu Wanning had not said.

Jingshu rolled her eyes at Li Ling and said, "Don't follow me anymore."

Li Ling retorted: "Since I want to find a husband for my cousin, what's wrong with me expressing my opinion?"

Xu Wanning looked sideways at Li Ling and frowned: "This second brother is so strange. Why is he suddenly so concerned about his cousin's marriage?"

Jingshu pulled Xu Wanning aside again and muttered, "I'm afraid he was drunk today, so don't pay attention to him."

With that said, she and Xu Wanning walked in front. They no longer mentioned Murong Lizhu's marriage, and only whispered about the pregnancy. When they reached the corridor, Li Xian came up to greet Li Lingjingshu. , then Xu Wanning returned to Qingfeng Garden.

After Xu Wanning left, Li Ling stepped forward and grabbed his wife and asked, "Why don't you let me talk?"

Jingshu glared at him and sneered: "Why do you care about these things?"

Li Ling said coldly: "What's wrong with me caring about my cousin's marriage?"

Jingshu snorted coldly; "Are you concerned about your cousin's marriage, or are you concerned about other people's marriages?"

Li Ling pretended to be confused and said harshly: "Of course I care about my cousin. Whether someone else gets married or not, what does it have to do with me?"

Jingshu knew that Li Ling was a tough talker and was too lazy to argue with him anymore, so she left him alone and walked into the yard.

Li Ling strode to catch up with her, stretched out his hand to hold her arm and said, "Slow down, be careful."

Jing Shu wanted to throw away his hand, but Li Ling held on to it. Seeing that his wife seemed really annoyed with him, she said with a smile: "If you have something to do, go back and tell me slowly. You are now a month old, how can you not be careful?" .”

Jingshu gave Li Ling a roll of her eyes and snorted coldly: "Someone comes to tease me on purpose. No matter how careful I am, there is nothing I can do."

Li Ling looked around and joked: "Who is so bold as to dare to make my wife angry?"

Jingshu scolded Li Ling and said, "Just be angry with me. As everyone knows, pregnant women are most afraid of anger. If you get angry and cause fetal gas, I'll see where you go to buy regret medicine."

Li Ling looked at his wife, his thin lips moved slightly, but he didn't know how to answer the question, so he simply leaned over and picked up his wife steadily, ignoring the surprised eyes of the servants in the yard, and strode towards the main room.

Jingshu was served by Ziyun and took a bath before going to bed. Just as she was about to lie down to rest, Li Ling came up to her, lay down next to Jingshu, and put her arms around his waist.

Jingshu took his hand and said, "In this month, you still have to be careful." Li Ling said angrily, "I just wanted to touch the child. Look, where did you go?"

Although Li Ling has always been very greedy in bed, since she became pregnant, he has been surprisingly restrained and has never gone out of his way.

When he said this, Jingshu became embarrassed, and her little face turned red with embarrassment.

 Li Ling glanced at his wife's shy look, suppressed a smile and said, "Did you think about it?"

As soon as she heard this, Jing Shu's face turned red. She hit Li Ling with her pink fist and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I even think about that?"

Li Ling grabbed his wife's pink fist and said hurriedly: "Okay, I may have mistaken the meaning."

Jingshu turned her back and said, "Get down quickly, I'm going to sleep."

In the dead of night, the two of them were alone on the same bed. Li Ling didn't dare to provoke any further anger. He retracted his hand, sat up, and said to his wife, "I think my cousin and Ah Chen are really suitable for each other."

Jingshu turned around and said angrily to Li Ling, "I knew this was what you were thinking."

Li Ling replied: "I don't think so for the sake of my cousin and Ah Chen. They are already a good match. I'm not the only one who thinks so. My sister-in-law also said so."

Jiang Youchen is both civilized and martial, gentle, and a rare good son. Murong Lizhu is gentle, virtuous, and very transparent and reasonable. Looking at these two people alone, they are really a perfect match.

But after all, there is a huge gap in family status between the Jiang family and the famous Murong family, and the old lady is so picky about Murong Lizhu's marriage. If Jingshu mentioned it, she would be afraid that the old lady would dislike her uncle's family background, and she would feel unhappy. He was willing, but he had to force it out for her sake. If this was the case, it would be quite unpleasant.

Seeing what Li Ling said, Jingshu said truthfully: "I'm afraid that my grandmother won't like my uncle's family background. Forget it, I'd better not provoke this."

 Li Ling listened to Jing Shu's words, but was dissatisfied and said: "Although my uncle's family background is not as good as that of the Murong family, Ah Chen is talented and motivated, with a humble and polite temperament. If my cousin can marry him, it will be a good match."

Hearing Li Ling praise Jiang Youchen, Jing Shu said to him, "So you also know how good my cousin is?"

Li Ling glared at Jing Shu: "I never said that Ah Chen was not good."

Jingshu smiled and said, "Then you are still showing off your face at someone else's housewarming party today?"

 “How can I lose face?”

Having said that, Li Ling glanced at his wife, who was looking directly at him, and hesitated: "I am indeed a little unhappy, but I don't want to lose face."

Jing Shu smiled helplessly: "You are born with such a cold face. Even when you are happy, no one else can feel the warmth. If you become a little unhappy, wouldn't it be that you will become cold to the core?"

Li Ling was unconvinced and said: "Then wasn't I stunned by that Sun Amu?"

Jingshu nodded Li Ling's head with her finger: "You, you, are all going to be fathers, but you are becoming more and more prosperous, and you are as smart as an old woman."

Seeing Jingshu mentioning this issue again, Li Ling's face couldn't help but darken again. He looked at his wife and asked: "I really want to know, you little girl, what did you have to play with a boy like Ah Chen when you were a child? How can we play together?"
