The High Gate Mistress of Rebirth

Chapter 54
It was already dark when we returned to Zhen Guogong's mansion, and there were scattered snowflakes in the sky.

Li Ling made an appointment with several lieutenants to discuss matters in the study, while Jing Shu headed for the meeting room in the front yard.

Before the two parted, Li Ling warned: "Don't be too busy, go back and rest early."

Li Ling accompanied her back to her natal home today, and she was going to send her younger brother to study in a government school. Jing Shu saw him more and more pleasing to the eye today, she smiled at Li Ling, and said softly: "I know, my husband will finish his work early." Come back with some." After a pause, she continued, "I'll go back and make you some supper after I settle the bill."

Seeing his wife being so virtuous, Li Ling was delighted, and with a smile on his face, he replied, "You are also tired today, so don't rush to make supper for me."

Jing Shu stretched out her hand and gently flicked the snowflakes that fell on his shoulders, and said softly: "I saw that you only cared about drinking with your father today, and didn't eat anything. I'll go back and make some snacks for you later .”

The little wife treated him so tenderly and carelessly that Li Ling's bones were about to crumble. He took her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the front yard first."

In the snowy twilight, he held her hand tightly and sent her all the way to the front yard. Seeing that she was nowhere to be seen after entering the conference hall, he turned and left contentedly, and walked briskly towards the study. and go.

When Li Ling arrived at the North Study, several lieutenants had already arrived, and the Holy Majesty was going to have a military parade at the end of the year. After Li Ling sat down, everyone discussed related matters.

After everything was agreed upon, everyone was about to disperse, when Ling Xiao outside said under the eaves: "Girl, Shi Ziye and the others are about to end, you can send them off later."

Li Ling turned to the outside and asked, "Who is it?"

Li Ling came in and replied, "My lord, it's Ziyun next to Madam, in the name of Madam, I've come to bring you supper."

Li Ling stopped the generals who were about to leave, and said: "Since we have caught up, you also come to try my wife's skills."

Naturally, everyone had no reason to be unwilling, so they sat down again. Ling Xiao led Ziyun into the study, and Li Ling greeted him: "You guys are lucky today."

Ziyun quietly glanced at the waiting generals, feeling guilty for a while, quickly opened the food box and offered the snacks inside to everyone one by one.

Lieutenant General Zhou Jin was the only son of the Marquis of Zhongshun and the Lord of Lanling County. He was a Confucian general with a long history of family education. He picked a piece and tasted it. Xiang Li Ling smiled and praised: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really amazing! Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Although Li Ling's face was still cold and serious, there was a faint smug look in his eyebrows and eyes.

Li Huaien sat at Zhou Jin's head. Seeing Zhou Jin's praise, he also praised: "Madam is really ingenious. This dessert is not only exquisite, but also delicious!"

Li Ling's brows and eyes widened, and he picked up the tea cup and drank a couple of sips. He didn't know if he was really thirsty, or he was trying to hide something.

Hu Dahai sat at the head of Li Huai'en, and he saw the two people complimenting each other politely. He is a rough man as they would say. After swallowing the snack in his mouth, he scratched his head helplessly and grinned: "This snack Good-looking is good-looking, but it’s too small, and it’s gone when you put it in your mouth, so my old Hu couldn’t taste it.”

All the soldiers laughed and said, "That's because your mouth is too big." "Haha, Lao Hu, with your mouth that can fit half a pig at a time, Madam may have to make a basket of dim sum for you to taste it. "

Everyone is used to playing around and joking in private, Hu Dahai was not annoyed when he saw that everyone made fun of him, he smiled and said: "General, if Madam invites us to have snacks next time, please trouble Madam to make me a steamed bun, eat like that It’s only refreshing when you put it in your mouth, and you can’t taste it when you put such a little thing in your mouth, it’s really not to my old Hu’s taste.”

Ling Xiao, who was serving at the side, smiled and said: "Madam, I don't know you are here today, but this is a late-night snack specially made by Madam for our son."

Hu Dahai laughed twice, not knowing what to say, Zhou Jin smiled and looked at Li Ling and said, "My cousin is really lucky to have such a good wife."

Li Ling made an impatient expression on his face, waved his hands and said: "Women are so troublesome. There are many cooks in the house, and they have to cook by themselves. I really don't know why she is so troublesome."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup again, Xu Shi was really thirsty, so he drank the whole cup.

Zhou Jin replied: "That's naturally because my cousin loves my cousin."

Hearing what Zhou Jin said, Hu Dahai finally opened his mind this time, and shouted: "I heard that the wife married by the general is the most handsome girl in Chang'an City, and he is so good at cooking and eating. Our general is lucky."

Li Ling's eyebrows stretched unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth curved.

The generals were used to seeing his cold and solemn face, so it was strange that they were not used to seeing him like this all of a sudden.

Ziyun at the side felt quite uncomfortable seeing the son's complacent appearance of showing off his wife.

She returned to Qingfengyuan in a dull mood.Jing Shu was sitting on the couch sorting out the bills, she walked to Jing Shu's side, Jing Shu raised her eyes and saw her calm expression, and said, "What's the matter? The supper you made today didn't suit his taste?"

Ziyun lowered her eyes and said: "The servants follow your orders and tell my uncle that you made it for him yourself. Even if it doesn't suit your taste, how can my uncle choose it?"

Jingshu heard that there was something in her words, she lowered her head to sort out the accounts, and said calmly: "You are my man, why are you turning towards him instead?"

Ziyun raised her hand and snatched the account book from Jingshu's hand, and persuaded: "Miss, this servant knows that you have been worried about what happened in the garden last time, but this servant watched coldly, my uncle treated you really well, you It’s really hurtful to be perfunctory like this.”

Last time in the garden, although Jingshu didn't tell Ziyun what happened, Ziyun knew about Qingluan being framed, and when she contacted Jingshu who came back alone that day, she also guessed that it was Li Ling who had done it for him. Qingluan left her young lady behind.

No matter how urgent you are, you must first settle the young lady down, at least order a suitable person to send the young lady back.Seeing the discomfited look of my young lady when she returned that day, it was obvious that she had come back with the help of a boat.

Ziyun was also angry with Li Ling and couldn't figure it out: If you kiss your cousin again, can you still kiss your daughter-in-law?
She also knew that since she came back from the garden, her young lady had changed her mind towards the uncle, and she was just doing superficial tricks in front of him.But Ziyun began to feel uncomfortable seeing his young lady just perfunctory him, uncle's disappointed look, and seeing him in the study today when he showed his lady's kindness to him in the study.

She thinks the son is very pitiful!
Dan Zhu who was standing on the side also pouted and said: "Yes, miss, you made so many dim sum that day and you gave it to the old lady, the eldest princess, and the third girl. You don't even want to taste a piece, my uncle. You didn't see that when you snatched the snack from my uncle's hand, my uncle looked very disappointed."

Bilu half-understood, tugging at the corner of Dan Zhu's clothes and asked, "Sister, what is 'lost'?"

Dan Zhu replied her with a "kids don't talk nonsense" slap in the face.

Bi Ling resentfully closed her mouth.

Ziyun continued to persuade: "Yes, miss, my uncle treats you wholeheartedly. It is indeed too much for you to treat him like this."

Seeing that Jingshu was silent, Ziyun continued: "If you are really concerned about my aunt making supper for you tomorrow, don't ask your servant to do such a thing. I really don't want to help you deal with my aunt anymore."

Everyone around her felt sympathetic to Li Ling.

That's right, they don't know the humiliation she suffered because of his departure in the garden, let alone the grievances she suffered in the previous life.Seeing that Li Ling treated her better, they all softened their hearts and complained that she didn't give him sincerity, but they didn't know that his sincerity was not with her.

Jing Shu turned over a page in the account book in her hand, her eyes were still focused on the densely packed accounts, and she said lightly: "I just want to be a good mistress of the high school and live a dignified and comfortable life."

She paused, and said leisurely with a little disdain: "He is really not sincere to me, what does it matter."

Seeing her like this, Ziyun was about to speak to persuade her again, when Dan Zhu covered his mouth and said in surprise, "Young Master!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that Li Ling was standing behind the screen. His face was so cold that ice could ooze from his face.
