The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 301
On this day, just in time for Li Yu Muxiu, after breakfast, Jing Shu ordered Ziyun to invite Li Yu to Qingfengyuan.

Li Yu politely greeted Jing Shu, and after sitting down, he asked, "Second sister-in-law invited me here for my marriage?"

Jing Shu thought about this matter to Li Yu for a long time, but she never thought that Li Yu would ask Li Yu himself.

Jingshu said slowly: "I just want to mention this matter with my fourth brother. Although the elders are the ones to make decisions about marriage, it is a matter of life after all. I still want to hear what my fourth brother thinks."

Li Yu smiled, and said lightly: "I don't have any ideas, as long as anyone doesn't dislike me and is willing to marry, my sister-in-law will help me book it."

Seeing Li Yu say such self-defeating words again, Jing Shu patiently enlightened her: "Fourth brother has a great reputation, and now he has entered the Ministry of Punishment. He has a bright future in the future, why should he always be unhappy?"

After listening to Jing Shu's words, Li Yu said nothing, just smiled wryly and picked up the teacup to drink lightly.

Jing Shu also stopped going around in circles with him, and went straight to the topic tactfully: "My grandmother and I have taken a fancy to a few powerful families in Beijing, but a good daughter's family does not necessarily mean that her parents have good character. They all have shortcomings of one kind or another, and after looking at quite a few of them, I couldn't find anyone who was a good match for my fourth brother."

Li Yu is a smart person, after hearing this, he understood Jing Shu's difficulty, he said: "If there is no such thing as a powerful family, then just find an ordinary family."

He put down the teacup, smiled wryly and said, "It's enough that people don't dislike me, and I don't have the right to pick and choose."

"My sister-in-law is the one to decide everything." After speaking, she gave a slight bow to Jing Shu, raised her leg and left.

"Birthplace is not something that one person can choose, and the grievances and grievances in the previous life have nothing to do with you, but this life is something you can control yourself. I think the fourth brother should be more broad-minded and take a long-term view."

Li Yu walked to the door, and Jing Shu persuaded him.

Although Li Yu was narrow-minded, he respected this sister-in-law who had always cared for him sincerely and saved his life.

Hearing what Jing Shu said, Li Yu paused for a moment, then turned around, and replied to Jing Shu: "Thank you sister-in-law for your enlightenment."

Jing Shu nodded slightly at him, and replied: "If you really don't care about the girl's background, I promise I will carefully choose a good one for you."

In Xianglin Garden, just after Ping Yang and Li Xiang had finished their breakfast, Yu Zhu came in and said, "Third Master, Madam, Aunt Xing has come to pay her respects."

Hearing this, Ping Yang replied, "Let her in."

After a while, Jiao Xing slowly entered the room, greeted Li Xiang and Ping Yang, and stood aside respectfully.

Not long after Pingyang had given birth, she was not yet confinement, she leaned on the imperial concubine's couch wrapped in a thin blanket, glanced at Jiao Xing, and asked: "I heard that you were not feeling well the past two days, are you feeling better?"

Since she returned to the mansion, Jiao Xing has always kept her duty, and she behaved well in front of Pingyang, and Pingyang saw that Li Xiang treated her indifferently, but she only went to stay for two days when it was inconvenient for her to sleep together. Night, so now Pingyang doesn't care about this humble concubine at all.

Every day when I see her coming to greet her politely, it's just a few perfunctory words with her.

Seeing Pingyang's questioning, Jiao Xing replied politely: "I just ate something wrong two days ago and made my stomach feel uncomfortable, but now it's all right."

As she said that, she took a few pieces of children's clothes from the hands of the maid, and said to Pingyang: "My sister is about to be full moon, and I don't have anything to sell. These little clothes are made by me. Do it, and I hope Madam will not dislike it."

Pingyang ordered Yuzhu to take the things, and said politely: "Thank you, Aunt Xing, I'm fine here, you're in good shape, go back and rest earlier."

Jiao Xing didn't say much, and retreated respectfully.

As soon as Jiao Xing left, Li Xiang also found an excuse to leave the house.

He caught up with Jiao Xing in two or three steps, and pulled her to stand still in the corner of the wall.

Jiao Xing was dragged by Li Xiang, she looked left and right in a panic, and asked Li Xiang, "What are you doing after you come out again? What if someone sees it, what should I do?"

Holding the wall with one hand, Li Xiang wrapped Jiao Xing in his arms, and asked, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Jiao Xing glanced at him, and replied: "It's alright, I'm fine, you don't have to worry about it."

Li Xiang lowered his head, sighed slightly and said, "It's a pity that this baby is not a son, I really can't tell her to ask you to stop taking the medicine."

When Jiao Xing heard this, her heart turned back and forth for a moment. She took Li Xiang's hand, and with a smile on her face, she replied: "Madam is a kind-hearted person, and sooner or later she will have a precious son. Treat you Now that I have a son-in-law, I will personally ask my wife to stop this soup, and I will not ask for anything else, if I can give birth to a well-behaved and lovely daughter for you, I will have nothing to ask for in this life."

Li Xiang turned his head sideways, sniffed his nose, and said with a gloomy expression: "Your body is already weak, and that Bizitang hurts your body so much, I'm afraid of you"

Before Li Xiang finished speaking, Jiao Xing raised her hand to cover his mouth, and said to him: "Which concubine's room doesn't live like this, if others can bear it, I can bear it, don't worry about it gone."

Li Xiang and Jiao Xing have known each other since childhood. This seemingly ordinary girl is a treasure in Li Xiang's heart, but he can only rely on such a forbearing way to secretly love and protect her.

Li Xiang felt depressed in his heart, choked up and said to Jiao Xing: "I really hate myself for being incompetent. If I have merits like my second brother's and can play a decisive role in the clan, I wouldn't let you suffer such grievances."

The so-called rules are just rules for the weak.Back then when Jingshu was infertile, Li Ling was able to withstand the pressure and not take concubines for his beloved wife, mainly because he had the ability to support the prosperity of the Li clan. It's him who broke the rules, no one can do anything to him and Jing Shu.

After hearing this, Jiao Xing felt sour in her heart, hugged Li Xiang, and comforted her with tears: "Don't think like this, as long as I can be with you, I am content."

In such a huge mansion with majestic palaces, the two of them could only quietly hide in the corner behind the back wall and say a few heartfelt words.

The two hugged each other tightly.

After a while, Jiao Xing forced herself to hold back her sadness, put on a smile, changed the subject and asked Li Xiang, "It's almost the Dragon Boat Festival, what kind of rice dumplings do you want to eat? I'll wrap them for you."

Li Xiang laughed through tears, looked dotingly at the beloved woman in his arms, and teased her, "As long as it's made by you, I like it. But, this time, I must steam it for me to eat."

Jiao Xing recalled the past embarrassment of the two of them, she couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "But I only gave you raw rice dumplings once, you're so stingy, remember all these years."

Li Xiang stretched out his hands to pinch Jiao Xing's face, and jokingly replied: "I had diarrhea for three days that time, how dare I forget such a painful experience."
