Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 349: The couple’s awkwardness

Mrs. Lan's uncle's condition has not improved, but Pingyang is thinking about the young children at home. He stayed at his uncle's house for three days and then returned to the palace.

Pingyang returned to Xianglin Garden, but Li Xiang was nowhere to be seen. After asking the maids, she found out that Li Xiang had been living in the Cross Courtyard for the past few days. Pingyang felt a little unhappy. With a cold face, she ordered someone to go to the Cross Courtyard to take Li Xiang away. Found it and came back.

After a while, Li Xiang returned to the main room. He saw Pingyang and asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you ask someone to come back and let you know in advance, so that I could pick you up."

Pingyang was feeding Sister Wan fruit on the couch. He didn't say anything when he heard the words. After feeding Sister Wan, Pingyang took his daughter to Baosha and handed it over to the wet nurse, and then returned to the main room.

Li Ling sat on the armchair, glanced at Pingyang's dull face, and said again: "What's wrong? Is my aunt's illness not getting better?"

Pingyang then looked at Li Xiang and said displeasedly: "If you really care about my mother's family, you should visit me in person these days. If you don't care, why bother asking me so hypocritically."

Pingyang is not a bad-tempered person, but her uncle and aunt have always treated her kindly, so when her aunt's illness does not improve, she will inevitably feel irritable.

Li Xiang simply closed his mouth angrily after hearing Pingyang's explosive remarks.

There was only the husband and wife in the room, neither of them spoke, and the huge hall immediately fell into a suffocating silence.

In the end, it was Pingyang who spoke first to break the deadlock. He looked at Li Xiang and scolded her: "After all, your position as the left collar of Jinyi was obtained through the efforts of your uncle's cousin. My aunt has been sick for so many days. You should at least go visit and do your best."

After hearing this, Li Xiang's face darkened. She was silent for a while and then said, "If you want me to visit my uncle's house, just tell me directly. Why bother getting involved with anything else."

With that said, Li Xiang didn't wait for Pingyang to speak again, he stood up and left Pingyang alone and walked out of the house.

When Pingyang saw Li Xiang leaving like this, she felt even more depressed. She sat alone on the bed and couldn't help but cry silently.

Yuzhu, who was busy outside the house, saw Li Xiang coming out with a bad look on his face. She hurried into the house. Yuzhu saw Pingyang crying aggrievedly on the bed, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "You just came back. Why did you make such a fuss with my uncle?" Are you unhappy?"

Pingyang was a man who couldn't hold his tongue. When he saw Yuzhu come in, he told Yuzhu about the quarrel between the two of them just now with tears in his eyes.

After hearing this, Yuzhu sighed slightly and said: "You and your uncle have been unhappy many times because of my uncle's promotion. I advise you not to worry about your uncle's career in the future, and don't mention your uncle to him again." The eldest son of my family is helping my uncle with his promotion."

 Pingyang said aggrievedly: "I'm not doing this for his own good. I just don't understand why he doesn't appreciate it?"

Yuzhu knew that her princess had been pampered and had a simple mind since she was a child. She advised her: "My uncle is the son of the eldest princess. If he really cares about his official career, he can't get anything done with just a word from the eldest princess. Since he has so many Being willing to stay in the same position for years shows that my uncle doesn’t care about these things at all. Since he doesn’t care, you have to do everything possible to stuff it into his hands. This will make your uncle feel that you look down on him. You and your wife It’s inevitable that you will feel resentful because of this.”

After Pingyang heard what Yuzhu said, she lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, wiped away her tears, and asked, "Where has he gone?"

Yuzhu saw that her princess changed her mind so quickly. She sighed helplessly and said, "Don't take the initiative to reconcile with my uncle as soon as you have a quarrel with me, and wait for my uncle to come to you." Pingyang burst into tears and smiled, He pouted and said, "Don't I think what you said makes sense? I used to think about these things too simply."

Yuzhu glared at Pingyang: "Even if you are at fault, don't bow your head first every time."

Saying that, Yuzhu walked to the table and poured a cup of hot tea to Pingyang. Pingyang took the tea cup and took a few sips. He smiled at Yuzhu and said, "Okay, then I will listen to you this time and not look for him. Just wait for him to take the initiative to come to me and reconcile."

Yuzhu smiled and nodded at Pingyang, then sat down next to her and said hesitantly: "In the past three days since you have been away, my uncle has been to the courtyard twice."

Pingyang was immersed in self-blame for the dispute with Li Xiang. She listened to Yuzhu, raised her eyes and asked her, "Is there anything wrong with this?"

Yuzhu said with a wooden face: "There's nothing wrong with it, but I don't usually see my uncle going so frequently. You only went to my uncle's house for three days, and I went to stay in the cross-yard for two nights."

No woman would want her husband to touch another woman. After hearing this, Pingyang felt a little disappointed. She sighed slightly and said: "My husband is just a concubine. I'm not at home. He A person will inevitably be lonely, so just go."

Li Xiang came back during dinner. Pingyang saw that he was still sullen and wanted to take the initiative to reconcile with him. But thinking of Yuzhu's warning today, she held back in the end.

The two of them ate dinner in silence facing each other. Pingyang took the children out of the house and played with the birds on the porch. Li Xiang was alone in the house, leaning on the couch and reading a medical book he just got.

When the sun set and it got dark, Pingyang sent the children to Baoxia. She personally gave her two daughters a comfortable hot bath, then put them in their own cribs, and waited until the children fell asleep. , Pingyang explained to the wet nurse again, and then returned to the main room.

It was already moonlight at this time. When Li Xiang saw Pingyang returning, he removed his eyes from the book in his hand, looked at Pingyang and asked, "Are the children asleep?"

Pingyang nodded and replied lightly: "Sleep."

Li Xiang put down the book in his hand, sat up, looked at Pingyang and said, "I will accompany you to your uncle's house to visit your aunt tomorrow."

Pingyang was a person whose temper came and went quickly. The anger in her heart had actually disappeared a long time ago. Now that she saw Li Xiang lowering his body, she couldn't help but put a smile on her face. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Ling and asked. : "Don't you have to go on duty tomorrow?"

Li Xiang smiled and replied: "Although I have errands to do, I can't ask for leave. Anyway, your cousin is not my best man."

Pingyang glared at Li Xiang, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Now do you know the benefits of having someone to protect you? You won't always blame me for meddling in your affairs."

Li Xiang put down the book in his hand, walked to Pingyang, looked down at her and said, "I don't blame you, so don't get angry with me anymore, okay?"
