Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

 The next morning, Jiao Xing finally gave birth to a daughter with great difficulty.

Because of the fetal movement and the abnormal position of Jiao Xing’s fetus, thanks to Granny Wang’s experience, they were able to save their lives.

When Li Xiang returned to the main room tiredly, Pingyang was taking the children to have breakfast. Seeing Li Xiang come in, she only raised her eyes and glanced at him lightly, without saying a word, and continued to coax the children to eat.

Li Xiang sat down on the couch in a dull mood until Pingyang and the children finished eating. He ordered the wet nurse to take the children out. There were only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere was surprisingly awkward.

 “I’m sorry.” After a long time, Li Xiang looked at Pingyang and said this.

Pingyang didn't say anything, didn't even look at him, he just got up and left him and walked out.

Li Xiang stood up and hurriedly stood in front of Pingyang, but he didn't dare to look at his wife's face. He repeated again: "Pingyang, I'm sorry for you."

Pingyang stopped and stood in front of Li Xiang, looking straight at him, his tone was surprisingly calm, and he replied: "This is good, you don't have to pretend in front of me anymore, and I will never let you go again." In my heart.”

 After saying that, Pingyang left Li Xiang and walked out of the house, heading straight towards Qingfeng Garden.

The main reason why their grandmother, Princess Lan, and their mother, Princess Yongqin, were optimistic about the marriage in Zhenguo Gongfu was not because of how prominent the family was, let alone how worthy of trust Li Xiang was. What the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law valued most was the Gongfu. This is the harmony between women and families.

 Pingyang has never understood why her grandmother and mother thought so much, but now she finally understands the painstaking efforts of her elders. An emperor's concubine and a princess, these two noble women have seen through that men are not reliable. Marrying into a powerful family means that the man is unreliable, and the woman living under the same roof is the one who can really take care of him.

After she fell into the water yesterday, she saw Li Xiang jumping into the water. Pingyang thought that her husband must have come to save her. She called desperately to him, but he resolutely swam towards the other woman.

At that time, Pingyang felt abandoned by the whole world. She was even despairing and gave up her struggle. If she hadn't heard Jingshu calling her desperately, and if Xu Wanning hadn't jumped into the water to save her, Pingyang might have been discouraged. Feeling cold, he sank to the bottom of the water.

Jingshu and Xu Wanning were on their way to Xianglin Garden together. They happened to bump into Pingyang and were both very surprised.

Before the two of them could speak, Pingyang smiled at them and said, "Aunt Xing just gave birth this morning. The third master has been guarding across the courtyard all night. He is so tired that he is sleeping in the house. I just came out to find you." "

Xu Wanning said cheerfully: "We were going to see you. Since the third brother is in the house, let's go to your second sister-in-law. She has good tea. Let's go to her to have some tea."

Pingyang happily agreed, and the three sisters-in-law entered Qingfeng Garden. The little girls served fragrant tea and fruits, and the three sisters-in-law took their seats while greeting each other.

Jing Shu and Xu Wanning had been worried that Pingyang would not be able to get over what happened yesterday, but they never expected that Pingyang was far stronger than they imagined.

She glanced at the worried faces of Jing Shu and Xu Wanning, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law don't have to worry about me. I thought about it all night after you left last night, and I made a decision."

“I want to learn to make money from you!” As soon as Pingyang said these words, Jingshu and Xu Wanning looked at each other, and looked at Pingyang in disbelief.

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to spend all your dowry in two lifetimes. Why are you thinking about making money?"

Pingyang caressed his bulging belly and replied: "I have three children now. Since I can't count on the third master, I should make plans for the children's future. The money from the royal family's dowry will be free. It’s just idle time, so it’s better to let them make money and save more assets for my children.”

Although Xu Wanning is the daughter of a noble family, the dowry is naturally very generous. Although Jingshu comes from a lower family, she has had a husband and mother-in-law to support herself and worked hard to make a living over the years. She also has a rich net worth, but Jingshu and Xu Wanning combined It's not as good as Pingyang's net worth.

She is the legitimate daughter of the prince, and it is no exaggeration to say that she is Shili Hongzhuang. Her current assets, not to mention raising three children, will be endless even for her great-grandchildren. Like Pingyang, she is just fighting for one. tone.

Xu Wanning can sympathize most with Pingyang's behavior. After she had a big fight with Li Xian, she worked hard to make money for no other reason than for peace of mind.

After hearing what Pingyang said, Xu Wanning agreed: "Great! If you have this intention, that's great!"

Pingyang smiled and said to Jingshu: "I heard that Second Sister-in-law's pharmacy is now quite prestigious in Beijing and has opened more than a dozen."

When Jingshu first started her drug store business, she originally wanted to make money, but after seeing the situation of the poor, she continued to help the poor. She lost money for a long time, but she also accumulated a good reputation invisibly. In the past few years, it has become well-known in the capital. Not only has it turned a profit, but it has also opened many branches, making a lot of money.

Jingshu nodded and asked Pingyang, "Do you want to invest in the pharmacy business with me?"

Pingyang replied: "I don't know about other businesses. I have money in my hands. Why don't we invest in the second sister-in-law's pharmacy. We can build on the reputation of Jingzhong, expand our business, and open a few new shops in Jingzhong."

Without waiting for Jingshu to reply, Xu Wanning clapped her hands and agreed: "Pingyang has really good eyesight. Last year, I invested in your second sister-in-law's drug store. In less than half a year, I made several years' worth of money from those jewelry and silk shops."

Jing Shu replied: "Sister-in-law has converted those fields into medicine gardens. The medicinal materials in our medicine shop are all from the medicine gardens. The cost is low and the medicines are good. Therefore, the prices are lower than those in other medicine shops, so they are naturally more popular. .”

The three sisters-in-law were chatting enthusiastically here. Outside, the mother-in-law came in and replied: "Aunt Xing from Xianglin Garden wants to see some ladies."

Several people were surprised when they heard that it was Jiao Xing who was asking for a meeting. Xu Wanning's originally cheerful face suddenly darkened and she said in a cold voice: "Okay, what is she doing here? Didn't she just give birth to a baby? Why don't she raise her in her own house? Wait, why did you come here to see us?"

Jingshu looked at Pingyang and said, "If you don't want to see her, I will send someone away."

Pingyang looked at his two sisters-in-law and said with a wry smile: "This Aunt Xing, I really didn't take her to heart before, but now that I think about it, she is indeed different from ordinary people in many ways."

After hearing Pingyang's words, Xu Wanning sneered nonchalantly and said: "She's just a cheap little girl, and she's not very pretty. There's nothing special about her. If she can stay on her own terms, you can let her stay. If you look at She is not pleasing to the eye, so when she is out of confinement, just send her away. Now that you have looked away, it is not worth taking such a concubine to your heart."
