Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 306: Be honest

The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shines into the house, bringing a ray of light to the house that is filled with the smell of soup and medicine.

 The couple who had been feuding for twenty years were left in the house.

The Duke of Zhen stepped forward to hold the eldest princess with trembling hands. His wife, who had been neglecting him for many years, finally did not let go of his hand this time.

The Duke of Zhen Guo looked sad and said to his wife: "We have really wasted too much in our lives."

At that time, when Fu Xi heard that her husband had a foreign wife and a son, and Fu Xi angrily questioned her husband, the Duke of Zhen Guo explained the cause and effect of the matter to her. However, there were many rumors outside at that time. The princess didn't believe her husband's words at all. In a rage, she picked up her sword and went to the woman's door. Later, the woman hit her own sword and died. Fu Xi was so proud that he did not even bother to explain to the Duke of Zhen.

Had she not been so arrogant at the beginning, and had she been able to trust her husband, she wouldn't have let each other misunderstand each other for so many years and wasted so many years.

Now, the arrogant eldest princess back then has also grown her hair. Thinking of her willful behavior when she was young, she was as proud as Fu Xi, and her heart is filled with regret at this moment.

 After all, in the past twenty years, her husband and wife had fallen out, and her children had not had a complete home. The price of her willfulness could not but be described as heavy.

Fu Xi turned his head to the side, bit his lip tightly, and murmured: "The reason why I let the child go is not only because of my disdain to do anything to him, but most importantly, because of the child's maternal grandfather." For saving your life."

 Fuxi had never bowed her head to anyone in her life, and Duke Zhen knew that it was extremely difficult for her to say such a thing.

The Duke of Zhen Guo took his wife into his arms. He still lowered his head first whenever they had conflicts when they were young. He gently coaxed his wife and said, "It's all my fault. All of this is my fault."

Feeling this long-lost familiar breath, the eldest princess's heart turned over and over again. She raised her arms and hugged her husband back. This stalwart man who used to have a round back and waist was now so thin and frail.

This princess who had never shed tears finally cried in her husband's arms.

The Duke of Zhen Guo gently patted his wife's back and coaxed her softly: "Don't cry. Let's just be good from now on."

Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, Li Yu led a few attendants, and his thin figure gradually moved away from the bustling capital.

 Suddenly, two people on a horse came running from a distance.

It is Li Lingjingshu. When they arrived, the two dismounted.

The two brothers stood face to face for a long time, but they didn't know where to start.

Jing Shu glanced at the two people who were relatively speechless, stepped forward, and said to Li Yu: "Fourth brother is going to Waifu to stay away from the troubles in Beijing. This is a good opportunity for you to display your talents."

Li Yu lowered his head and said with a face full of shame: "You must already know my life experience. It is difficult for Li Yu to repay the great kindness of raising me from the government in this life."

Seeing that he was sincerely repentant, Li Ling looked at him and said, "Father has not disowned you as his son. Although my grandmother now knows the inside story, she has not mentioned a word about expelling you from the family tree. Her intention is to keep you forever." Come and see it as a descendant of my Li family."

He paused slightly and said sincerely: "Then, from now on, we will still be brothers."

His grandfather was indeed very kind to the government back then, but his mother caused the Duke of Zhen and the eldest princess to fall out with each other, so the government raised him up, which can be regarded as fully worthy of his grandfather's kindness back then. Li Yu didn't expect that the government would recognize him as a person who was not of Li's blood.

After hearing what Li Ling said, Li Yu was so ashamed that she burst into tears and choked with sobs: "How dare I do this?"

Li Ling is not good at comforting people, and he doesn't like others crying in front of him. Although he learned that Li Yu had no blood relationship with him, after all, this was the person he had protected for so many years and called him his brother for more than ten years. Li Ling could not help but feel sad when he saw Li Yu crying so sadly. , he frowned slightly, patted Li Yu's shoulder, and said impatiently: "You man, what do you look like when you cry? You don't deserve to be laughed at."

Li Yu sniffed and wiped her tears, but still couldn't stop crying.

Seeing this, Jing Shu on the side changed the subject and said: "I promised you that I would take care of your marriage. Although you are now working in another place, my original promise to find a good wife for you still counts. Even though the fourth brother Just don’t worry.”

After hearing this, Li Yu stopped crying, turned around and said, "It's already this time, and the second sister-in-law is still making fun of me."

"Why is this a joke? You are now quite old. How can you do it without marrying a wife? Although you have gone to work in Waifu, your second sister-in-law should still be able to take care of the matter of marrying a wife for you."

With that said, Li Ling stopped talking to Li Yu like mother-in-law and just urged him to get on the horse and said: "Let's go quickly. If you are late, you will have to wait until dark before you can get to the inn ahead."

Li Yu wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, bowed deeply to Li Lingjing and Shu, and said from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you, second brother and sister-in-law, for coming to see me off."

Jingshu originally wanted to say a few words of advice, but Li Ling urged her: "Let's go quickly. What kind of mother-in-law is this? Let's go."

Li Yu then got on his horse and rode towards the distance with his attendants.

Li Ling is a person who values ​​friendship and justice.

The two of them stood in the wilderness, watching Li Yu go away. Jing Shu clearly saw tears shining in Li Ling's eyes.

When Li Yu's figure was completely gone, Jing Shu held his sleeve and called, "Let's go."

Li Ling turned around, holding the horse's rein with one hand, and pulling his wife back along the winding path with the other.

The wind in early summer is brisk, the endless green grass is mixed with dots of wild flowers of various colors, and the air is filled with a fresh smell.

"How can I not believe that my parents will reconcile one day." Li Ling looked up into the distance and murmured.

Jing Shu recalled the years she and Li Ling had wasted in the previous life due to the misunderstanding and distrust between husband and wife. Jing Shu's heart also turned over and over again. She turned her head and thought about Li Ling and said, "Will we be together in the future?" Remember the lessons of your father and mother, no matter what happens, you must be honest and trust each other."

After hearing this, Li Ling immediately looked at his wife and asked, "Is it possible that after so many years with me, you still can't open your heart to me?"

Seeing that Li Ling was so concerned and nervous, Jing Shu hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, there's nothing I can't tell you."

Li Ling gave his wife an angry look and replied: "That's good."

As he spoke, he held his wife's hand tighter and murmured: "Anyway, I, Li Ling, have no reservations about you and am devoted to you. But you, a little woman, always have a lot of things on your mind. If you hide it with me, What’s on your mind?”

Jing Shu saw that he had not said anything for a long time, looked at him and said with a smile, "What's wrong? Why don't you continue?"

Li Ling stood up, looked at his wife, and said with a hint of childishness: "It's nothing. Anyway, I am honest with you, and you must be honest with me. Anyone who hides his thoughts will be a white-eyed wolf."
