Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 175 Li Ling’s Consolation 1

This night, Jingshu nestled in Li Ling's arms, but she didn't sleep all night.

  She had never known that the night was so dark and so long, as if it would never end.

Li Ling didn't go on duty that day. He kept persuading her with gentle words. It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that he finally pulled Jingshu out of bed.

Li Ling clumsily put on clothes for her, and carried her exhausted from crying to the window. He pointed at the high winter sun outside and said to her: "Look, doesn't the sun still rise? It's nothing." Things can’t get through.”

The bright sunshine was just right, but Jingshu felt that the sunshine was very dazzling. She lowered her head and tears welled up again.

Li Ling stretched out his hand to try for her tears and coaxed her: "If you still want to cry, just look at it. Now her eyes are so red that they look like rabbits again."

Jingshu couldn't stop her tears. Li Ling was trying every means to persuade her. Amu and Ziyun came in. Amu advised: "Madam, don't be sad. You are still so young. There are always ways to adjust." In good health."

 Li Ling quickly echoed Eminem and said, "Yes, let's take care of it slowly. When it's done, we'll have one baby a year. When the time comes, don't worry about it."

This incident had not happened to the servants in the mansion. When a steward who was in a hurry saw that Jingshu did not go to the meeting hall today, he went to Qingfengyuan.

Li Ling heard the news that someone in charge was coming, so he said to his wife: "Look, you have just given up your job for half a day, and they found them at the door."

Jingshu choked up and said, "I'm like this, how can I still think about things?"

Li Ling stretched out his hand to try to dry the tears on his wife's face: "You are the mistress of this house. You need to be stronger. How can you just let go of such a trivial matter?"

Jingshu turned her head sideways and ignored him.

Li Ling pulled her over and continued: "Being the mistress of our family is a lifelong responsibility. Think about how energetic you were when you first took charge of the house. You spent all day and night taking care of the accounts, and you were so excited. Similar."

Jingshu was teased by Li Ling so much that she burst into laughter and muttered, "You look like you've been given a shot of chicken blood."

When Li Ling saw that his wife had finally stopped feeling sad, he coaxed her and said, "Let's go, I will no longer be a general today. I will accompany my wife to the front office to be the director."

Jingshu glared at Li Ling and said, "I'm fine. Just go and do your work. I don't need you to accompany me."

Li Ling coaxed her and said, "No, you obviously don't have enough momentum today. I'm worried that you won't be able to intimidate the people below, so I'll help you support the scene today."

Li Ling, who was always serious, was doing funny and exaggerated actions in front of Jing Shu: "Look, I arrived at the meeting hall, oh! I just sat in there, I'm sure those servants are all honest, no one dares to I'm cheating with you."

Li Ling took his wife in his arms and said with a smile, "Today you just need to act like a fox and a tiger."

Li Ling took Jingshu's hand to the meeting hall. The general in charge of thousands of troops sat beside his wife and helped Jingshu prepare the housework for the day. After that, he held her hand again. walked out.

After handling some matters, Jing Shu felt a little more at ease.

Li Ling was not in a hurry to take his wife back to Qingfeng Garden. The weather was good today, so he took her hand and walked around the huge Zhenguo Palace. "Look at that library. It was built in the year when our ancestor was granted the title of Duke of Zhen when he conquered the world with the founding emperor of Qi Dynasty. It has already been over three hundred years ago."

 Li Ling held Jing Shu's hand and stood under the library. He touched the thick brick wall and said, "If you feel how strong this wall is, I'm afraid it won't fall down in another three hundred years."

Jingshu replied: "You have used force to build your family for generations, but you never thought that the ancestors of the Li family would attach so much importance to the study of their children and grandchildren."

After hearing this, Li Ling glared at his wife and corrected him: "It's 'our Zhenguo Duke's Mansion'. I am the fifth-generation eldest son of the Li family, and you are the fifth-generation eldest son's wife. This Zhenguo Duke's Mansion belongs to me. It’s also yours.”

These words reached Jing Shu's heart. He glanced at Li Ling and the corners of his mouth curved.

Li Ling looked up at this library that had gone through more than a hundred years of ups and downs, and said to his wife: "Although our Li family was founded by martial arts, our ancestors have always paid attention to reading. Only by reading can people understand reason. A general can lead thousands of troops." A general and commander must have excellent kung fu skills, but if he cannot understand reason, he will not be able to win over people's hearts."

He looked at his wife and continued: "Furthermore, reading can make people truly mentally strong, and they can be unyielding in the face of any setbacks."

Jingshu couldn't tell that Li Ling was talking about her. He wanted her to cheer up.

Jingshu lowered her head and couldn't help but get wet at the corners of her eyes. She whispered: "I understand the truth, but for women, having children is such an important thing. I actually have such a shortcoming, and How can you let go so easily?"

Li Ling took his wife in his arms and raised her drooped head. He looked into her tearful eyes and asked, "Are you afraid that I will dislike you for this?"

This is naturally what Jing Shu cares about the most. She was originally married to Li Ling, and now she has such a flaw, so she naturally feels unsure.

 Just being asked by Li Ling so nakedly, she didn't know how to answer him.

Seeing her silence, Li Ling said slowly: "It has been almost three years since we met and got married. Your feelings for us have never been as firm as mine."

Hearing what he said, Jing Shu raised her eyes and looked at Li Ling doubtfully.

Li Ling explained: "Since I met you during the Lantern Festival that year and I bent down to pick up the handkerchief for you, I have been attracted to you. Since then, I have tried every possible means to find out about you. I know Before you have haircuts and before you have been promised a wife, you have made up your mind that I, Li Ling, will not marry you unless you are the one in my life."

Although Jingshu knew that Li Ling had fallen in love with her before she fell into the water, Li Ling had never said this to her so frankly.

Li Ling looked at his wife and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that before I could speak to my grandmother, you would fall into the water and be rescued by me. That day I was traveling on the lake with my grandmother, siblings, and my family's boat was When I missed your boat, I saw a person falling into the water. I heard your maid shouting that the eldest lady had fallen into the water. I knew it was you, so I jumped in to save you without thinking."

Li Ling still looked happy when mentioning old things: "I was worried about how to tell my grandmother about going to your house to propose marriage. This saves me the embarrassment."

As he said that, Li Ling teased Jing Shu and said, "I've been wondering if we have a connection. You know it's hard for me to tell my elders about this, so I fell into the water on purpose and asked me to save it, so that I could be justified." I mentioned it to my family.”
