Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 345 The Third Master’s First Woman

Jingshu returned to Qingfeng Garden full of worries. Ziyun and the wet nurses were playing in the yard with Brother Xuan and Sister Bao.

When the two little guys saw their mother, they rushed toward Jingshu with open arms. Jingshu leaned over and hugged her children, kissing their little faces.

Sister Bao clung to Jingshu's arms and asked, "Mother, what have you done? I miss you."

Jingshu never showed her pessimism in front of the children. She looked at her daughter with a smile and replied: "Mother just went out to do some errands. Mother also misses Sister Bao and brother."

Sister Bao smiled and kissed Jingshu on the face, then pouted and asked, "Mother, when will daddy come back? I miss daddy too."

Hearing her daughter mention Li Ling, Jingshu, who had experienced being threatened by Empress Cao today, missed her husband even more. She forced out a smile and coaxed her daughter: "Daddy, didn't you go to chase away the bad guys? In a few days, he will be here." I will come back to play with Sister Bao."

Seeing that Jingshu looked unhappy, Ziyun coaxed the children to be handed over to the wet nurse, and helped Jingshu return to the house to rest.

Jingshu leaned on the couch, took a few sips of the fragrant tea brought by Ziyun, and told Ziyun: "In the past two days, please pay more attention to the family letters of the prince."

Ziyun smiled and said: "My uncle has only been gone for two days and you are so worried about me? If there is a letter from home, I'm afraid it will take another three to five days."

Li Ling had only been gone for two days, and Jing Shu had indeed missed him very much. Especially in the situation where he was being plotted with evil intentions, Jing Shu missed Li Ling even more. When Li Ling was by her side, she didn't have to worry about anything. Safe feeling.

 Without Li Ling's protection, no matter how big the difficulty is, Jingshu can only solve it by herself.

Jingshu sighed slightly and said to Ziyun: "You go and do your work first. I want to stay by myself for a while."

Ziyun glanced at Jingshu's face and asked worriedly: "Madam, what's wrong with you? But what troubles did you encounter when you entered the palace?"

Even if such a thing was told to Ziyun, it would only make her worried and scared in vain. Jingshu replied: "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

After Ziyun retreated, Jingshu lay on the couch alone and closed her eyes gently. She wanted to take a nap to relieve the fatigue in her heart, but she couldn't fall asleep. For a while, Queen Cao was in her mind. Threatening her face, Prince Zhao Bi stared at her like a hawk. Jingshu opened her eyes helplessly, got up and got out of bed.

She opened the door and saw the children still playing in the yard, which made Jingshu feel more at ease.

Jingshu was playing with the children in the yard, while Xu Wanning and Pingyang each took the children to Qingfengyuan.

A few children gathered together and started chattering happily in the yard. It was already spring. Jingshu ordered people to move the chairs to the corridor. The three sisters gathered in the corridor and watched the children play.

 Xu Wanning asked Jing Shu while drinking tea: "The old lady of Zhongshun Hou Mansion is celebrating her birthday these days. Can you take the time to come over?"

Zhongshun Houfu and Zhenguo Dukefu have always been close, so Jingshu naturally had no reason not to go, so she replied: "I will go there if I have nothing else to do."

With that said, Jingshu asked Pingyang again: "Is Pingyang free? Do you want to follow me and my sister-in-law?"

Pingyang replied: "My maternal aunt is ill these days. I plan to go to my uncle's house to stay for a few days tomorrow. I will try my best not to follow you."

Xu Wanning asked Jing Shu, "Do you think we should take the third girl with us?"

Ever since Zhou Jin, the eldest son of the Zhongshun House, was accused and exiled, the third girl has become much depressed.

Jingshu was worried that she would fall in love with the scene, and sighed: "I guess forget it. If she loses her, it will inevitably bring up unpleasant thoughts." Xu Wanning nodded: "I think so too."

As she spoke, she sighed and said, "I wonder what's going on with the Zhou family's son in Northern Xinjiang? Hey! It's really hard to be exiled to a place like that, not to mention never being able to return to Beijing."

The three sisters-in-law were chatting here. Yuzhu from Xianglinyuan came over and said to Pingyang: "Princess, my uncle has ordered someone to pick you up."

Pingyang said in surprise: "Didn't it mean that tomorrow has passed? Why did you come to pick me up today?"

Yuzhu replied: "I heard that my uncle misses you very much, so I ordered someone to come here today."

Hearing this, Jingshu urged Pingyang: "In that case, go back quickly."

Pingyang said goodbye to his two sisters-in-law, hugged Sister Wan, and his wet nurse led Sister Qing back to Xianglin Garden.

The little girls had already received Yuzhu's instructions and packed up all their belongings. Pingyang gave some instructions to the wet nurse, then left the yard, got on the carriage and went to his uncle's house.

As soon as Pingyang left, Li Xiang came back from duty. When he didn't see Pingyang, he asked her where she was. When he learned that she went to his uncle's house, Li Xiang got up and went to the small courtyard to look for Jiao Xing.

As soon as Li Xiang left the house, Sister Qing, who was playing with the birds on the porch, threw herself into Li Xiang's arms and said in a sweet voice, "Daddy, can you play with me?"

Li Xiang replied: "Daddy still has something to do. Sister Qing, be good and play by yourself." After that, he strode across the courtyard without looking back.

When Sister Qing saw her father ignoring her, she burst into tears. Lan Tian, ​​who was busy in the house, heard the sound and quickly put down his work and ran out.

Seeing that his sister who was fine just now was so sad, Lan Tian quickly held her in his arms distressedly and asked: "My dear sister, what's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Sister Qing pointed in the direction where Li Xiang was going, and replied with a twitching voice: "Daddy is ignoring me."

Lan Tian looked in the direction Sister Qing was pointing, but Li Xiang had long disappeared. Lan Tian frowned slightly, stood up and asked the little girls who were sweeping the yard, "Did you just see where the third master went?" "

Several little girls looked at each other for a moment, and the leader stepped forward and replied: "The third master seems to have gone to cross the courtyard."

As soon as Lantian heard this, her face darkened. She picked up Sister Qing and entered the house.

Yuzhu, who was busy packing things in the room, glanced at Lantian's gloomy face and asked, "What's going on? Who provoked you?"

Lan Tian put Sister Qing down and said angrily: "This uncle is really serious. He ignored my sister when she asked her to coax her. He went to cross the hospital in a hurry."

Li Xiang has never cared much about children. When Yuzhu heard this, she didn't care much. She only replied: "My uncle doesn't like children pestering him. It's not like you don't know."

As she said that, she asked again: "Hasn't Su Yue been here recently? Did you say anything about my uncle going to cross the hospital?"

Lan Tian replied: "Su Yue didn't say anything. Third Master didn't go there very often. He only went there to drink tea and chat with Aunt Xing, but it was nothing."

After hearing this, Yuzhu felt even more relieved and said with a sneer: "I thought she was my uncle's first woman, so she would always be special, but from this we can see that it's nothing more than that."
