Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

It was already midnight when Li Xiang came out of the courtyard. He returned to the main room under the starlight and took off his clothes gently.

They have been sleeping in separate beds since Pingyang became pregnant. Li Xiang got on his bed and was about to lie down when he heard Pingyang ask: "How is Aunt Xing?"

Li Xiang quickly stood up, looked at Pingyang and said, "Did I disturb you?"

Pingyang replied: "I haven't fallen asleep yet."

Li Xiang frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"

Li Xiang waited for a long time without seeing Pingyang's answer. Although he couldn't see Pingyang's expression on the other bed in the darkness, he could feel that her mood seemed to be very bad. He asked again: "What's wrong with you?"

Pingyang didn’t answer. She was silent for a while, and then she replied in an irrelevant tone: “Can you come over and give me a hug?”

When Li Xiang heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then mumbled back: "It's better to stay apart this month, I'm afraid."

Before he could finish speaking, Pingyang repeated: "Can you come over?"

This time, her tone was obviously displeased.

Li Xiang frowned slightly. He hesitated for a while, and finally put on his shoes and came to Pingyang's bed. Just as he was about to lift the bed curtain, the person inside threw himself into his arms.

Li Xiang was almost staggered by Pingyang's sudden embrace. He patted Pingyang's back and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Pingyang didn’t answer, but started to cry.

As soon as she cried, Li Xiang panicked a little. He wanted to light a candle so that he could see clearly, but Pingyang hugged him and wouldn't let go.

Li Xiang asked again: "What's wrong with you?"

Pingyang sniffed and choked, "I'm fine."

In the darkness, Li Xiang couldn't see her face clearly, so he leaned in front of her and asked, "Okay then, why are you crying all of a sudden?"

Pingyang was silent for a while, then replied: "Can you hold me to sleep tonight?"

Li Xiang hesitated, and finally got on the bed. He carefully tucked Pingyang into his arms, and then took her into his arms through the quilt.

The warm embrace of her husband made Pingyang forget the grievance that Li Xiang had just abandoned her for another woman. Her body was already weak, and she felt even more tired after struggling for a while. Pingyang closed her eyes and finally fell into Li Xiang's arms. fell asleep.

This sleep was the deepest sleep she had ever had since Pingyang was pregnant. When she woke up the next day, her side was already empty.

Pingyang felt panicked for no reason. She stood up suddenly and shouted to the outside: "Come here, come quickly!"

Yuzhu heard the call and trotted into the inner room quickly, asking hurriedly: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"

Pingyang stretched his neck outside and asked, "Where is your husband? Where has your husband gone?"

Yuzhu smiled and said, "My uncle got up early. He just went out for a trip and just came back."

Just as he was talking, Li Xiang stepped into the inner room. When Pingyang saw Li Xiang, he pouted and asked with a wooden face: "Where have you been?"

Li Xiang stepped forward and waved his hand at Yuzhu. After Yuzhu stepped back knowingly, he sat down on the bedside, stretched out his hand to tuck the hair on Pingyang's temples behind her, smiled warmly at her, and said, "What are you doing?" What's wrong? She's the mother of two children, but she's becoming more and more clingy." Pingyang leaned on Li Xiang's shoulder and murmured: "Don't leave me."

Li Xiang smiled and said: "You are saying stupid things. We are husband and wife, how could I leave you."

As he spoke, he reached out and patted Pingyang's back, urging her: "Get up quickly. I see that you have been very depressed at home recently. I rarely take a break today. After breakfast, I will take you out for a walk. .”

When Pingyang heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he happily said yes.

After the two had breakfast, Li Xiang took Pingyang out. The two of them wandered out until half an hour before returning. When they returned to Xianglin Garden, Li Xiang handed over the large and small bags of items he bought outside to the girls at the door. Then he helped Pingyang into the inner room to rest.

Although Pingyang had a hard pregnancy, her mood was relieved after relaxing with Li Xiang today, and it was not as painful as before. She lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

When Pingyang woke up, it was already dark, and Li Xiang hadn't left yet. He was leaning on the couch in front of the window reading a book. When he saw Pingyang waking up, he quickly put down the book he was reading, walked to the bed and helped her up, smiling. He said: "I saw that you slept very soundly in the afternoon. It's a rare thing that this child didn't torment you today."

Pingyang smiled sweetly at Li Xiang and replied: "It's been a long time since I felt so comfortable. I can't sleep well or eat well, and I'm constantly struggling."

Li Xiang brought some clothes and put them on Pingyang: "I will have more time to go out for a walk. My mood will be better and my body will be more comfortable."

With that said, he sat down opposite Pingyang and was silent for a long time before he said, "I have something to discuss with you."

Pingyang glanced at Li Xiang who was hesitant to speak, looked at him doubtfully, and asked, "What's the matter?"

 After another period of silence, Li Xiang raised his head and replied: "Jiao Xing is pregnant, and I want to keep the child."

Pingyang was shocked to hear the news and was stunned for a while without reacting.

Li Xiang looked at Pingyang eagerly and asked, "Is it okay?"

Pingyang finally came back to her senses. She sighed slightly and asked Li Xiang, "When did it happen?"

Li Xiang replied dully: "The doctor came to check my pulse yesterday. It has been almost two months."

Pingyang leaned on the soft pillow and looked out the window, his face darkening.

 The room fell into a suffocating silence.

After a while, Li Xiang said: "She has been drinking Bizi soup, but she got pregnant unexpectedly. After all, this is my flesh and blood. Although we don't have a legitimate son yet, I don't want to give up this future." The born child.”

Pingyang looked back at Li Xiang and sneered: "Since you have decided, what are you still discussing with me?"

Li Xiang looked at Pingyang and replied: "I want to keep this child. We already have two daughters. If Jiao Xing is a daughter, our child will just have an extra sister, so it doesn't matter, but If it is a boy, I will keep it under your knees, so that even if our child is not a son, you no longer have to suffer the pain of giving birth to a son."

After hearing this, Pingyang was still unhappy, but her expression softened somewhat. She turned around, met Li Xiang's eyes and said, "Then just keep this child."

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief and said incoherently: "Thank you, Pingyang, thank you very much."

Pingyang replied: "I know that the reason why I agreed to keep this child is not because I hope that the son born by Aunt Xing will be remembered in my lap, but because this child is your own flesh and blood, and I can't bear it."
