Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 471 Pingyang said that it is difficult to recover the water.

The old lady originally planned to betroth Qingluan to the heir of her mother's family, but Qingluan disagreed. Now she has become an old princess, and the heir of Jiangdong has lost his wife, so the two are a good match.

After the three people had reached a consensus, when Pingyang and Xu Wanning came out of the old lady's Anxi Hall, the full moon was already rising in the sky, and they each headed towards their own yard.

When Pingyang returned to the main room, although the candlestick was still on, Li Xiang was already lying on the bed, seemingly asleep.

Pingyang extinguished the candlestick, leaving only a candle for illumination. She only called Yuzhu in a low voice, and took care of her to remove her makeup and take a bath.

Yuzhu entered softly. She waited on Pingyang to take a bath and quietly replied: "Madam, my uncle was in a bad mood after he came back. He didn't even eat at night and stayed in bed all the time. He didn't respond when the slaves called him."

Hearing this, Pingyang sighed slightly and ordered: "Go and tell the people in the courtyard later that what happened between the prince and his cousin today must not be spread out, let alone gossip in private."

Yuzhu nodded in agreement, and Pingyang ordered again: "You can pick two neat and capable servants from the dowry servants we brought from the palace. Tomorrow you will go out of the house and send them to your cousin's new house. His yard has not yet been opened." After the repairs are completed, we will definitely not have time to hire maids to take care of it. Our own people should work more carefully than those bought from outside."

Hearing this, Yuzhu hesitated and said: "Madam, I think you don't have to worry about the prince's affairs. I'm worried that the prince will think too much."

Pingyang replied: "You don't have to worry about this, I will tell him."

After Pingyang finished cleaning up, she left the bathroom and went to the inner room. She was worried about waking Li Xiang, so she gently opened the bed curtain and got on the bed, and lay down carefully.

Pingyang closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when Li Xiang's voice came to his ears, "Grandma called you over just now. Is there something wrong?"

Pingyang opened her eyes, turned her head and asked, "Are you still asleep?" Seeing that Li Xiang didn't respond, she replied, "Grandma called me over, just to discuss with my sister-in-law and me the marriage of my fourth brother and my cousin. My younger brother's marriage is approaching, and now it's time to get busy. Although my second brother has been given a new mansion, my grandmother means that we should handle the fourth brother's marriage. When I left my grandmother's place today, I discussed it with my sister-in-law. Wait, when you and eldest brother are free, the four of us should go to our fourth brother's place. We are a family after all, and we haven't visited him since he came to Beijing."

Hearing this, Li Xiang just said "hmm" softly as a response.

 Mentioning this, Pingyang also remembered Qingluan's marriage that the old lady had told her about. She turned her head and asked Li Xiang: "Uncle Jiangdong's eldest cousin, do you know about it?"

After a long time, I heard the person next to me reply leisurely: "I have met him a few times."

Pingyang said: "I heard a while ago that my eldest cousin passed away due to illness half a year ago. My grandmother and we wanted to hand down the imperial cousin to my eldest cousin. Although she is a stepmother, it is not easy to meet her at this age. You are a dear man. As the eldest son of the feudal lord, my eldest cousin has a distinguished status. I heard that he is also a talented person, so it is not an insult to my imperial cousin."

Pingyang sighed leisurely and said: "Grandma has been anxious and angry about the marriage of the emperor's cousin. She has been urging my sister-in-law and me to find a husband for her all day long. Alas! But at her age, her temperament is a bit weird. This marriage is really It’s not easy, except for Jiangdong’s eldest cousin, I really can’t think of a good way.”

Pingyang talked for a long time, but there was no response from Li Xiang for a long time. In the darkness, she couldn't see Li Xiang's expression clearly, so she only asked tentatively: "Are you listening to me?" Seeing that Li Xiang still didn't respond, Pingyang thought he was asleep, so he turned sideways, closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep.

“Pingyang, apart from family matters, don’t you have anything else you can talk to me about now?”

After a long time, Li Xiang's voice came to my ears again. There was a little grievance in his words, and a trace of sadness.

Pingyang opened his eyes when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer this question.

 The two of them seem to have nothing to communicate with each other over the years, except for business matters and family matters.

Pingyang also felt desolate in her heart. She sighed slightly and simply closed her eyes again.

Seeing that his wife was silent, Li Xiang turned sideways, stretched out his arms to hug the person beside him, and whispered in her ear: "Pingyang, will you still forgive me?"

Pingyang did not push him away, nor did he answer his question. He only said calmly: "I'm sorry about what happened today. It was my cousin who was impulsive. But this matter is not what I told him. It is between us. , I have never revealed anything to my family. The reason why my uncle and aunt in Beijing know about it is because my aunt forced me to question Yuzhu. Don’t worry, my cousin promised not to tell my parents about those things, and I will do the same in the future. Just restrain the servants and don't let them reveal it."

Hearing this, Li Xiang sat up and said to Pingyang: "Pingyang, I don't care about my reputation. What I care about is you."

His tone was excited, echoing for a long time in the dark and silent night. Pingyang turned her head and looked at Li Xiang. She was silent for a long time, and then she said, "It's getting late. You have to go to work early tomorrow morning, so go to bed quickly."

 Early in the morning of the second day, when the sun rose, the place beside me was already empty.

When Yuzhu came in to serve Pingyang, she replied: "Madam, my uncle went out before dawn. My servants saw that he didn't look well, and asked him questions, but he didn't pay attention."

 Pingyang just said it was okay.

Yuzhu glanced at Pingyang's face and asked tentatively: "Is it because of the matter of young master Ciao that my uncle had trouble with you last night?"

Pingyang replied: "That's not the case." Then, she told Yuzhu: "Don't forget to send the two servants and your cousin to their place today."

When Yuzhu heard this, she lowered her eyes and said, "Madam, my uncle will be unhappy if you care about your young master like this. Please forgive me for talking too much. Although my uncle has failed you in the past, he really knows how to repent now. Since then, After Aunt Xing left, my uncle has never had any second thoughts about you. Now that you have two children and have become the patriarch of this house, I advise you to open your heart and forgive me."

Yuzhu was the first-class maid next to Pingyang. Little did Pingyang know that she was only doing her own good. She smiled bitterly and replied: "Yuzhu, you know best what happened between me and my husband. I used to be so in love with him. But now, I have really given up on him."

Pingyang smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to recover when water is poured out. I am afraid that my husband and I will just live like this for the sake of our children and our elders."

Yuzhu sighed deeply: "But you are always unhappy, aren't you? Why do you bother yourself?"

Pingyang was sitting on the rhombus mirror and comparing the pearl hairpins on her head. She paused after hearing this and put the pearl hairpin in her hand on the table. Pingyang looked at himself in the rhombus mirror and murmured to himself: "Happy? "

 “I don’t remember what it felt like.”

Welcome to read Ah Que's new article "After giving way to your husband's sweetheart"!

Love watched helplessly as her husband Sima Chao married the princess to fulfill his ambition, and she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Sima Chao hugged her into his arms and coaxed softly: "Afu, you are the only one in my heart. If you are worthy of the country, I will definitely set you right."

Love believed him because she was obsessed with him.

It wasn’t until Sima Chao killed the flesh and blood of his princess wife that he was about to enter the house with his own hands that Love realized how much sincerity a person who was cruel to his own children could have towards her.

　　　It's just that he is lying and she is obsessed with it.

Love finally saw clearly the person next to her. She was completely heartbroken and died in despair the day before Sima Chao married the princess in glory.

Starting over, Love decided not to make the same mistakes again, but when she opened her eyes, she saw the whole house filled with joy, and she actually returned to her wedding night with Sima Chao.

　　—

Sima Chao, a great hero of a generation, fought against the princes and unified the world, which was his lifelong ambition. For this reason, he did not hesitate to let down his beloved.

He thought: If she can treat the world well, he will give her the highest status in the world, and it will not be too late to slowly repay the deep love he owes her.

As everyone knows, if you miss something, it will be hard to get it back. When he turned back to her, she had already turned away.

He won the world and had everything, but he only lost her.

When Sima Chao saw her smiling broadly at the man beside her, he finally became anxious, his eyes turned red, and he regretted it.
