Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 318 Let’s talk about it in two years

As soon as Jingshu and Xu Wanning left Xianglin Garden, they saw Li Xian waiting outside.

Jingshu looked at Xu Wanning aside and joked: "Now the eldest brother is really more attentive to you than others are to the bride. It's so sticky that she can't live without you for a moment."

“It’s true that the older you get, the less promising you become.” Xu Wanning glanced at her husband. Although she said this, there was a smile on her face.

When Li Xian was kicked out of the cabinet, he was indeed depressed for a long time, but this talented man who was the top student in high school at the age of 18 was not in vain. Ever since he regrouped and took up an errand in the Ministry of Industry, he has continued to be famous. The water has risen and he has experienced the ups and downs of life. Now Li Xian has lost his energy and has become more mature and restrained.

Li Xian saw Xu Wanning and hurriedly came up to him, saying, "You didn't even bother to eat dinner, are you starving?"

Xu Wanning was still the rough-tempered person who didn't understand gentleness. She rolled her eyes at Li Xian: "I'm such a big person, how can I still be hungry?"

Li Xian laughed twice without any temper, and then asked the two of them: "What did the imperial doctor say? Are the three younger brothers and sisters okay?"

Xu Wanning replied: "My body is quite weak and I have to take care of it."

 Xu Wanning and Jing Shu were walking and chatting in front. Li Xian followed them back. When they reached the fork in the road, the wet nurse led Erlang to greet them.

When Erlang met his parents, the little guy jumped into Xu Wanning's arms like a little beast. Xu Wanning picked up her son and said with a smile on her face: "Brother Ping is here to pick up your mother?"

Erlang lay in Xu Wanning's arms and replied with a smile: "If you pick up your mother, you will also pick up your father."

When Li Xian saw Yao Zi, he also had a smile on his face. He stepped forward and said to Xu Wanning: "You are so old, why are you still holding him? Let Brother Ping get down and walk by himself."

Seeing that his wife did not let go, Li Xian took his son from her arms, held him in his arms, and followed Xu Wanning towards Bitangju.

At this moment, the sun was setting in the west. Jingshu was walking towards Qingfeng Garden. From a distance, she saw the tall Li Ling standing at the door waiting for her with his petite daughter in his arms.

The setting sun is like a rainbow, and the two figures, one big and one small, overlap each other, which is indescribably warm.

Jingshu stepped up and walked towards her husband and daughter, and teased Li Ling: "When I saw my sister-in-law coming home late, I took Brother Ping to look for her. Since you are waiting here, why don't you pick me up."

Li Ling didn't hear his wife's joke and thought she was picking on him. He adjusted the position of holding his daughter and explained seriously: "Seeing that you haven't returned at this hour, I wanted to find you. But my daughter held on to me and wouldn't let me go. My daughter has never been out in the dark, so I was worried about scaring her."

"Hmph! I knew you cared more about your little lover." Jingshu snorted at Li Ling, twisted her waist, left Li Ling and went into the yard.

Li Ling hugged her daughter and followed Jingshu closely, smiling and saying to please: "What? Are you really angry with me?"

Seeing that Li Ling was serious, Jing Shu deliberately said with a stern face: "You have forgotten me now that you have a little lover. What can I do if I am angry?"

Li Ling held his daughter with one hand and put an arm around his wife and said, "Aren't our children young?"

Jingshu covered her mouth and smiled, scolding Li Ling and said, "You are good at everything, but you are too straightforward and never understand other people's jokes."

When Li Ling saw his wife smiling, he smiled heartily and said, "You little woman always have the most thoughts on your mind. Who knows which of your words are true and which are just a joke." Ziyun saw the two of them entering the house and hurriedly greeted them. Waiting for the little girls to prepare the meal.

Jingshu raised her eyes and looked at Li Ling: "You haven't eaten yet?"

Li Ling put his daughter on the small dining chair and sat down on the chair. He looked at his wife and said, "I didn't go to pick her up in person, so you got very angry. If I don't wait for you to have dinner with me, wouldn't you be annoyed?" Do you have to jump?"

"It's good if you know." Jing Shu gave Li Ling a look, cleaned her hands, picked up the jade chopsticks and started eating.

Li Ling also cleaned his hands, then picked up the vegetable and meat porridge prepared in the small kitchen for the two children, and carefully fed it to Sister Bao.

Seeing this, Jing Shu asked, "Aren't the children eating either? Where's Brother Xuan?"

Li Ling fed his daughter carefully and replied: "My son has already fed me and ate a full bowl. My daughter may not be hungry. She only took two mouthfuls and stopped opening her mouth. I just took her out for a while. I’ll probably be able to eat it now.”

Sure enough, Sister Bao was fed by her caring father, and she ate more than half of the bowl in a short time. Li Ling fed Sister Bao, then thoughtfully picked up a towel and wiped her daughter's mouth, and then gave her to her. The wet nurse warned: "I just ate something, don't let her sleep first, take her to walk around on the ground to eat."

The wet nurse agreed and took Sister Bao to the cubicle to play.

Li Ling then picked up the jade chopsticks and started eating by himself. Jing Shu was already half-full at the moment. She understood that Li Ling had been feeding her daughter and neglected to eat. Jing Shu picked a few of his favorite dishes and put them into his bowl, praising her. Said: "I didn't expect that as a father, you would be so patient with your children."

Li Ling slowly swallowed the food in his mouth, looked at his wife with a smile and said, "What I have done cannot be compared with the pain you went through to give birth to them."

　　When mentioning this, Li Ling asked: "I haven't had time to ask you yet, how is the third brother and sister's pregnancy going?"

Jingshu replied truthfully: "The imperial doctor said that she has lost both qi and blood, and she needs to have a good pregnancy to raise her baby."

Li Ling nodded after hearing this and said to Jing Shu: "It can be seen that giving birth to a woman is very harmful to the body. Now that you see your three younger siblings like this, you should be worried."

When Jingshu heard this, she quickly put down the jade chopsticks in her hand and hurriedly explained: "Pingyang's pregnancy is just because it is too close to the previous pregnancy. It has been more than a year since I gave birth to my brother and sister. My body has long since recovered, so I can naturally have more children."

Although giving birth to and raising children is hard work, in this world where many children bring happiness, having only two children is indeed a small amount.

Li Ling originally wanted to use the matter of his siblings to make his wife quit, but he never thought that she would face the difficulties instead. Li Ling stopped talking and just picked up a chicken leg and stuffed it into his wife's mouth: "Don't talk about this. , let’s have a good meal first.”

Jingshu spit out the chicken legs angrily and said to Li Ling: "Then at most in two years, I will still have another child."

This little wife’s scar has healed and she has forgotten the pain.

Seeing the heart-rending pain of his wife when she gave birth to her first child, Li Ling still feels pain in his heart when he thinks about it now. Although life with more children is more enjoyable, Li Ling doesn't want his wife to go through such pain again because of this.

“We’ll see you in two years,” Li Ling said perfunctorily as he immersed himself in his meal.
