Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 117 Jing Shu’s face turned red

This sour and sweet day has passed like this.

Ever since she saw the angry Li Ling still thinking about her when he came back and bringing her food, Jing Shu's grievance and depression disappeared.

Li Ling is a big-hearted person. Don't look at him when he gets angry and bullies others, but his temper comes and goes quickly. Besides, he was already eaten to death by his little wife, so how could he stay at odds with her for too long?

After leaving the door of the post house, most of his anger had dissipated. When he returned, he saw his wife eating the food he had brought back, and a lot of his anger had dissipated. After hearing his wife's sincere confession just now, he How can I still be angry in my heart?

Not only did Li Ling not care that his little wife had embarrassed him, he also felt proud in his heart.

Isn’t it because the little wife is jealous because she cares about him? Being cared about so much by his beloved, Li Ling felt very submissive.

Because he was obedient, he couldn't help but become distracted.

 Along the way, he woke up early and worked hard every day. He felt sorry for his wife's hard work and restrained himself at night.

 But today, he couldn't help it.

Jingshu took away his dishonest hand and said angrily: "We have to get up early tomorrow and go on the road, so you should calm down for a while."

His wife's soft and coquettish words, coupled with her attitude of refusing to welcome him, actually aroused Li Ling's anger.

 He turned over and coaxed in a hoarse voice: "At worst, I'll rest here for a day tomorrow."

 “Aren’t you on official business? Are you not in a hurry?”

　　It was already three o'clock in the morning when Jing Shu opened her eyes from her drowsiness.

She saw Li Ling leaning on the couch and reading a scroll. She squinted her eyes and said, "Do we really need to rest for a day before going on the road today?"

Li Ling put down the book, looked at his little wife who was as lazy as a kitten, and said with a smile: "Can you still move forward?"

Jingshu glared at him.

Li Ling patted his wife lovingly and said, "Last night was really hard, madam. I'm not going to be on the road today, so you can sleep a little longer."

It was almost noon now. After sleeping for so long, Jingshu had already had enough sleep. She lay lazily in the warm quilt, squinted her eyes and muttered: "I had a really good sleep this time, which is rare in this inn." The steward didn’t come over early in the morning, noisily delivering water and meals.”

Li Ling couldn't help but laugh after hearing this.

 The smile is a bit evil, a bit naughty.

Jingshu asked alertly: "Why are you laughing?"

Li Ling hurriedly replied: "I'm not laughing at anything."

Jingshu’s almond-shaped eyes were round and angry, and she said fiercely: “What are you laughing at?”

 As he said that, he came to pull his ears again, as if he wanted to torture him to extract a confession.

Li Ling hurriedly covered her ears, then whispered in her ear with a wicked smile: "You screamed at the top of your lungs last night. You can't hear it in this little inn."

 “Who could come over so shamelessly to disturb Madam’s sweet dream?”

Hearing this, Jingshu's face turned red.

She was so embarrassed that she almost burst into tears. She covered herself with a quilt and said, "It's all your fault. It's all your fault. It's your fault that you kept pestering me. I couldn't help but scream."

Li Ling smiled and pulled up the quilt: "Okay, okay, of course you blame me for this. Don't you feel bored being buried in the quilt? Come out quickly."

But the little wife hid in the quilt and refused to come out. She cried and said: "How can I see people? I might as well die of suffocation here."

Li Ling smiled and forced himself to take his little wife out of the quilt. He went down to the ground to open the door and called Ziyun who lived next door to help her change clothes and wash up. The little wife blocked the door with a red face and refused to let him open the door. .

Li Ling had no choice but to help his young wife get dressed.

At this time, the little wife really seemed to be back to the time when she was newly married. She was surprisingly honest and docile, as wilted as a little rabbit. Li Ling suppressed his laughter and helped her put her clothes neatly on. He brought hot water and called his wife, "Come and wash yourself."

The little wife reluctantly put her hands into the water, and as soon as she splashed it on her face, she burst out crying with a "wow" sound.

Li Ling smiled and coaxed: "Don't cry. We are a legitimate couple. We do the courtesy of Zhou Gong without violating the royal law. What if others hear it?"

 At home, she would be so tormented by him that she couldn't help shouting or even crying. But they lived in the main room, there were no other occupied houses nearby, and there was only her personal maid Ziyun outside.

 At present, this inn is full of hundreds of people.

 What face does she have?

 After hearing what Li Ling said, the little wife cried even harder.

Li Ling did not dare to tease her anymore. He coaxed her and persuaded her: "I just lied to you. The only room next to our house is Ziyun's room, and the others are unoccupied."

Jingshu stopped crying: "Who believes what you said?"

She was beating Li Ling and yelling: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Li Ling coaxed: "What I said is true."

Seeing that his little wife was still crying, he pulled her and said, "If you don't believe it, I'll take you out to have a look."

However, the young wife said nothing and said in a weak voice, "I'm not going out. How can I have the nerve to go out?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help complaining about his husband: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"

Li Ling smiled, forced himself to open the door, and pushed his young wife outside. However, he happened to meet the woman in charge of the post house.

When the woman saw the noble man, she quickly bowed and said hello with a smile: "General, madam, good morning!"

Jingshu lowered her head deeply. She had something in her heart. She caught a glimpse of the "smile" on the woman's face and felt that she was laughing at her.

 Hearing the woman say "morning" again, I felt even more shameless.

 It’s already noon! Still early?

 It's not like she's laughing at her.

After the mother-in-law left, Jingshu turned away in shame and ran back, but was pulled back by Li Ling: "I'm not lying to you, this room is really not next to other guest rooms."

“Let’s go, if you don’t believe it, I’ll take you outside and you’ll know after a quick look.”

Li Ling was taking his wife out and happened to meet Lieutenants Liang Jin and Zhou Jin.

The two of them stood up, raised their hands to Li Ling and said, "General and his wife are going out?"

Li Ling replied: "Go out for a walk."

With that said, he ordered the two of them: "Relax here for a day, and be sure to restrain the soldiers below not to disturb the people in this area, and not to go out to eat and drink and cause trouble."

Li Ling has always managed the army in a strict and orderly manner. After hearing this, the two of them took the order together.

Zhou Jin was the only son of the Lanling Princess. He and Li Ling were cousins. Seeing Jing Shu behind Li Ling, who had her head bowed and her face red, she politely asked with concern: "Cousin, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to go? Are you looking for a doctor in the city?"

Li Ling replied: "Nothing, just tired from the journey."

uncomfortable? Call a doctor?

Jing Shu glanced at Zhou Jin who was looking at her with a faint smile from the corner of her eyes, and then glanced at Liang Jin who had his head half lowered.

Everyone she looked at now seemed to be secretly laughing at her.

Jingshu blushed again.
