Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 176 Li Ling’s Consolation 2

Jingshu glared at Li Ling and said, "I was a good and innocent girl back then. Who has a connection with you? I wouldn't deliberately fall into the water and let you rescue me."

Li Ling sighed: "Look, let me tell you, from the beginning, I am the only one who shaves my head and picks up my hair."

He touched his wife's head and continued: "And when you first married me, you were always gentle and submissive in front of me with low eyebrows and submissive eyes. I was stupid at that time and was blinded by you like that. , I thought you had such a docile temperament. But I never thought that later you suddenly became enlightened for some reason, and then your true colors were revealed."

Li Ling looked at his wife and asked, "When you first married me, you probably weren't sincere with me. You were just trying to please me by being obedient in front of me. How could you be sincere?"

When she married into the Duke of Zhenguo's palace, carrying the reputation of ruining her boudoir and deliberately falling into trouble because of Li Ling, she naturally felt uncomfortable in her heart. How could she care about Li Ling's sincerity? Those submissive attitudes were just out of Just out of guilt and self-preservation.

When Jing Shu saw Li Ling bringing up old scores, he retorted unconvincingly: "That's not because you have a straightforward temper and don't know how to be considerate of me. You don't know how to love me, so why should I have a heart-to-heart relationship with you?"

Li Ling replied: "So I just say, you are not firm with me."

He defended: "I am indeed straight-tempered, and I don't understand a girl's thoughts. When I first got married, I didn't know how to please you or how to love you. But I have always been determined to get along well with you." , even if we have conflicts, I will try my best to resolve and change them. All I want in my heart is to live a good life with you."

He poked his wife on the forehead: "As for you, when you encounter conflicts and difficulties, you either doubt me, or you want to retreat, or you are eager to find a way out for yourself. I said that you are not as determined as I am about marriage, and I have wronged you. Can’t do it?”

Jingshu felt guilty for a while after being told by Li Ling. She said harshly: "I'm not firm anymore. I treat you sincerely. Don't say that to me."

When Li Ling heard this, he smiled and replied reluctantly: "Don't you still admit it? Now that you know you can't get pregnant, what do you think in your heart? Can you hide it from me?"

Jingshu lowered her head and murmured like a mosquito: "What can I think? I wholeheartedly want to give birth to an heir for you, but this is beyond my control. Now both doctors say that I can't get pregnant. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear children for you in this life. Anyway, if you don't dislike me, I'll just live with you. If you dislike me, there's nothing I can do about it."

Li Ling smiled and said: "Look, the first thing you think about is whether I will dislike you for this. If my guess is correct, after a while, you will leave me again and think about your own way out. .”

 It is better to know your wife than your husband. Li Ling was right. When she learned that she could not get pregnant yesterday, she had been thinking about how she would deal with Li Ling if he disliked her. And she seemed to be sure that if she never gave birth to a child, Li Ling would hate her sooner or later. Even if he abandoned her out of responsibility, he would let her continue his family line.

 From beginning to end, she was not sure that Li Ling would treat her consistently.

Li Ling saw that his young wife was depressed and refused to speak, so he knew that he had hit her mark. He wasn't annoyed, he just silently took her hand and led her up to the library step by step.

He took her to sit on the roof of the building, overlooking the palace with its carved galleries and painted buildings. Li Ling said: "It is rare for military generals to die well. Just look at my father and Uncle Zhou and you will know that my father retired from illness before he was forty." Well, Uncle Zhou is only in his early forties now, and he also has a lot of injuries. Because he has been leading troops in wars all year round, he has to sleep on the ice and climb in the snow. Whenever it is cloudy and rainy, his legs are so painful that he can't move."

"There is another general in Da Qi who is as capable as his father and Uncle Zhou. When he was thirty years old, he was accidentally ambushed during a confrontation with the enemy. When the army withdrew, he was hit by several arrows. Although he was rescued by his adjutant, he risked his life. He narrowly escaped with his life, but an arrow shot into his spine. Although he survived, he was also crippled. The general who was so majestic on the battlefield at that time was paralyzed in bed at a young age. "

Li Ling sighed: "Fighting is a desperate matter. After a battle, I don't know how many lives will be lost. There are many people who have broken arms and legs and become disabled." He looked at his wife and said, "What if? One day, if I become like that, will you dislike me?"

Jingshu felt sad after hearing what Li Ling said. It was true that she was not as firm in her relationship with Li Ling, but she did and truly loved Li Ling. No matter what he became, she would not She will despise him, but she will willingly take care of him for the rest of her life.

Without waiting for Jingshu to reply, Li Ling said firmly: "I believe that even if I am really disabled, you will not dislike me."

Jingshu looked at Li Ling with tears in her eyes and nodded heavily.

Li Ling looked at his wife and said, "Look, let me tell you, I am firm about our relationship. I believe that even if I am really disabled, you will never leave me alone."

He stretched out his hand and tugged on his wife's ears, and said dotingly: "You just have too many thoughts and too many ideas. You are never willing to trust people easily, and your treatment of others is never as down-to-earth as I am."

Li Ling's explanation made Jing Shu feel at ease. She leaned on her husband's shoulder and murmured: "I'm afraid this matter is not as simple as you think. You are the eldest son and belong to the same clan. If I can't give birth to an heir, , I’m afraid my tribe won’t be able to tolerate me either.”

Li Ling hit the nail on the head and said, "Are you worried that your grandmother and mother will persuade me to accept her?"

How can a powerful family not accept concubines? Li Ling is already an outlier, and she is now infertile. Even if her grandmother and mother-in-law treat her favorably, they will not ignore Li Ling's heirs.

Seeing that Jing Shu was silent, Li Ling continued: "Don't worry, I have told you before that I will only treat you wholeheartedly in this life. As for my grandmother and mother, I will explain it to them after a while. .”

 He patted his wife and comforted her softly: "Anyway, I will protect you. Just feel free."

 After listening to Li Ling's words, Jingshu's tears fell again.

 It’s just that these tears are not sad tears, but touching tears.

She murmured to Li Ling: "What virtue can I have to make you treat me so well?"

Li Ling replied: "It's not because you are virtuous or capable, just because you are my wife."

He caressed his wife lovingly and teased her: "I don't ask for anything else. As long as you can be firmer in your feelings for me and don't always refuse to believe me, I will be satisfied."

I’m looking for a monthly pass! Thanks for the support!
