Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 299 What happened that year

 The banquet was over in Jiang Mansion, and the rain stopped.

As soon as Li Lingjingshu and Li Lingjingshu returned to the palace, their mother-in-law came to greet them and happily replied: "My lord, Madam, the third lady has given birth to a sister."

After hearing the news, Jingshu quickly got out of the car and asked, "Is the third lady okay?"

 "Anhao Anhao, mother and daughter are both safe, and my fair and plump sister is a handsome child." Mammy babbled.

Li Ling smiled and said, "This time our sister Bao has company."

Jingshu turned back to Li Ling and said, "I'll go over and take a look first."

With that said, he raised his legs and walked towards Xianglin Garden.

After entering Xianglin Garden, the old lady, the eldest princess and Xu Wanning all came over. They were happily surrounding the third sister.

Seeing Jing Shu come in, Xu Wanning greeted with a smile: "Brothers and sisters, come and see how handsome this child is."

Jingshu walked up and looked at the infant third sister in the arms of the old lady, and then at Li Xiang who was sitting beside her. She smiled and said, "This child's features look like the third brother's."

When the eldest princess heard this, she followed Jing Shu and looked at her son, smiling and saying, "That's right, this sister's eyebrows are exactly the same as Zhongxuan's."

The old lady looked at her grandson sitting beside her and said angrily: "What are you doing standing around here? Come in and accompany your wife."

Li Xiang scratched his head and said to several people: "Grandma, mother, sister-in-law, please sit here for a while while I go in to see Pingyang."

As soon as Li Xiang entered the inner room, the messenger from outside came in and said that the Duke of Zhen had come to see his granddaughter.

Hearing that Duke Zhen Guo had arrived, the eldest princess' originally smiling face immediately froze. She bowed slightly to the old lady and said lightly: "Mother, my wife is going back first." Then she turned and left the house.

The old lady sighed slightly, shook her head silently, and muttered, "What a pair of enemies." She also put down her great-granddaughter and sat aside calmly.

As soon as the eldest princess left Xianglin Garden, she happened to meet the Duke of Zhen who was coming.

 “A Yuan!”

Zheng Guogong called the eldest princess's name, with a hint of surprise in his tone.

The eldest princess, however, walked past Duke Zhen Guo with her head raised and a cold face, without even looking at him.

The Duke of Zhen turned around and grabbed her hand, and said anxiously: "Now that we are all full of children and grandchildren, you can't calmly listen to what I say."

The eldest princess still raised her head half-raised and replied with a stern face: "It's hard to stop the water. There is nothing more to say between us."

After saying these cold words, the eldest princess resolutely withdrew her hand and walked away resolutely.

 “A Yuan.”

Zhen Guogong stayed where he was, looking at the back of his wife who left resolutely. He called out reluctantly, but he did not call back his wife's gaze.

"Master, let's go in." The boy next to him tried to persuade.

Only then did Duke Zhen Guo come back to his senses. He stood on the spot and coughed violently. After finally calming down, he waved his hand to the boy serving beside him and weakly ordered: "Let's go back first. , I don’t feel well today, I’ll come see Brother Xiang’s child another day.”

The boy didn't try to persuade him any more. He supported the Duke of Zhen and turned back. At this moment, a young man dressed in white stood not far away, taking in a panoramic view of the ugly scene of this old couple who had been feuding for many years.

Li Yuguang's hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and the thoughts tumbling in his heart surged again.

"My child, my mother's death today can give you a good future. After you enter the palace, you must work hard to make progress, so that your mother's death is not in vain."

Li Yu closed his eyes, and his mind was full of the miserable appearance of his weak and pitiful mother before she died.

 Tears blurred his eyes again.

God is so unfair. Some people are born with everything, but people like her mother just want to find a shelter for their children, and they have to pay for it with their lives.

Now that he has gained fame and a decent job through his own efforts, he has the ability to stand on his own without relying on the government. But what can he do? Her mother will never come back. not coming.

Every time he dreamed back at midnight, Li Yu could always dream of the tragic death of his miserable mother under the sword of the eldest princess. At that time, he was only five years old, crying and hugging her mother, and the blood that flowed out was dyed with blood. His young body turned red.

Over the years, although the people in this house truly regarded him as a relative, and Li Yu tried his best to persuade himself to open up his heart, every time he saw his father or the eldest princess, the hatred in his heart would surge like a torrent. surge up.

Li Yu staggered back to Zhuxuan Pavilion carrying the wine jar. Seeing how drunk he was, Aunt Zhou quickly came over and took the wine from his hand, and said distressedly: "Okay, what's wrong? What are you drinking? Like this?"

The only person in this house that Li Yu can truly trust is Aunt Zhou. She is her mother's wet nurse and the only relative left to him by her mother.

Li Yu turned around and hugged Grandma Zhou, murmuring and asked: "Mammy, do you think that if my mother has a soul in heaven, would she also be resentful of her father?"

After hearing this, Grandma Zhou froze. She was speechless. She just sighed longly and carefully helped Li Yu to the bed.

Li Yu grabbed Aunt Zhou's hand and continued to ask: "Auntie, you are my mother's wet nurse and have always been with her. Now that I have grown up, can you tell me everything that happened back then? ?”

Aunt Zhou sighed and said helplessly: "You kid, it's been more than ten years. Why do you keep asking me about this? Now that you have fame and the protection of the government, the future will be natural." If you have a bright future, just put your mind on it and forget about the past."

 “Why should I forget?”

Li Yu jumped up from the bed, stood on the ground and shouted at Aunt Zhou: "I can dream about my mother's tragic death every day. Her blood is bleeding all over the floor. She is also my father's woman. My father Now that you have accepted her, why do you let her be forced to death just because that person is a noble princess? She is noble and inviolable, so my mother should die like a piece of grass? "

Mama Zhou wiped away her tears and said sadly: "What happened back then is not your father's fault."

Li Yu grabbed Nanny Zhou's hand, frowned, and asked: "Nanny, every time I ask you these questions, you prevaricate me like this. Do you think that my father will take me back to the house and give us a mouthful?" If you just want to eat, are you really bribed by her and forget about your mother's death? How can you..."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, Grandma Zhou raised her hand and gave him a slap in the face, saying sternly: "Shut up!"

Li Yu was brought up by Grandma Zhou, and she loved and obeyed him. She was reluctant to say anything harsh, not to mention beating him. This was the first time Li Yu saw Grandma Zhou being so angry. He looked at Grandma Zhou in disbelief. Mom, said in a gentle tone: "Mom, now that I have grown up, why do you still hide these things from me?"

Mama Zhou shed tears and turned her head sideways.

 She felt guilty when she mentioned those old things.

  She knew very well that the children she had raised over the years had been tortured because of what happened back then, but she had never had a moment of peace of conscience in all these years.
