Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 184 Li Ling despises shameless women the most

 These days, Li Ling always tries to come back as early as possible to be with his wife.

 The main camp of the City Patrol Division is outside the city. On this day, when he was taking Liang Jin on the road, he saw a carriage parked on the roadside. Seeing the two passing by, the coachman quickly stepped forward and begged: "I am the coachman of the Zhou family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. I am driving today to take the young lady with me." I went to the temple to offer incense, but I never thought of returning. My car broke down halfway through the journey, and it's getting dark now. Can you two nobles help me?"

 Li Ling of the Zhou family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was also familiar with him. The eldest son of his family was similar in age to Li Ling. They were both children of powerful people in the capital. They studied in the official school together. Although they were not serious classmates, they had some contacts.

As soon as the coachman finished speaking, a woman in the car opened the door and said to Li Ling with a smile: "It turns out it's the heir apparent of the Li family. My car broke down when I came back from offering incense and I can't get back to the city. I'm worried right now."

The woman who spoke was none other than Zhou Qing, the young lady from the Minister of Industry’s family who had been thinking about Li Ling so much that the Zhou family asked someone to propose marriage to the Duke of Zhenguo.

 Li Ling glanced at Zhou Qing and felt that he looked familiar. He replied: "Miss Zhou, don't be anxious. When I return to the city, I will have someone go to my house to tell you."

 With that said, Li Ling was about to hit his horse and leave.

Seeing that Li Ling was about to leave, Zhou Qing quickly got out of the car. She gave a slight salute to Li Ling. This time, she even became more intimate with his title. She looked at Li Ling's old actions and said, "Brother Li, it's going to be dark now." , I only have the coachman and a maid with me. After you tell the family, it will take them an hour or two to get here. I am a woman outside the city, I am really scared."

 Li Ling asked: "What should we do?"

Zhou Qing twisted her handkerchief, lowered her head, and hesitated: "Brother Li, can you order your lieutenant to go back to the city and tell my family about this?"

She glanced at Li Ling and said shyly: "I'm really afraid of meeting bad people here alone. Can you trouble Brother Li to stay here for a while and wait until my family sends someone over before you leave?"

 Let him stay with her here?

  Don’t think that Li Ling is straightforward and not good at pleasing women, but he is an extremely shrewd man.

As soon as Zhou Qing's words came out of his mouth, Li Ling came back to his senses and remembered that a few years ago, it seemed that Zhou Shilang's house had asked someone to come to the house to propose marriage to his grandmother. The matchmaker seemed to have proposed to him this Zhou Qing. Grandma even asked him face to face what he meant, but at that time he already had his own heart and could not care about others.

Now that he has married his sweetheart as he wished, other women are even less attractive to him.

Li Ling glanced at Zhou Qing's coy look and felt disgusted in his heart. He hated such shameless and scheming women the most.

Li Ling replied to Zhou Qing with a cold face: "I have to rush back home to accompany my wife, so I can't accompany her here."

With that said, without waiting for Zhou Qing to say another word, he hit his horse and left.

In a moment, the man disappeared from sight, leaving Zhou Qing alone and messy in the billowing dust.

Zhou Qing had planned this scene of a chance encounter with a hero to help a beauty for a long time.

Think about it, didn't the Shen daughter get entangled with Li Ling because he rescued her from falling into the water? How could it be her, but Li Ling was unappreciative.

 Zhou Qing was so angry that her eyes were red.

Her maid Zhen'er hurriedly came over, helped her get into the car, and said angrily: "This heir apparent of the Li family is really unkind. He talks so coldly to you. It's really disgusting."

Zhou Qing tried her tears and murmured: "He was so intoxicated by the Shen family daughter, hum! Who among the noble ladies in the capital nowadays doesn't know that the Shen family daughter is a hen that can't lay eggs?" , I don’t believe that the eldest son of the Li family can always be devoted to her."

Zhen'er advised: "Miss, you are talented and beautiful, and have a good family background. Why do you need to hang on a tree like the heir apparent of the Li family?"

Zhou Qing sniffed and murmured back: "Then the eldest son of the Li family is already married. Don't I know that this road is full of difficulties, but I really can't look down on others anymore. Who else in this world can How can I compare to him? Nowadays, matchmakers come to my door every day, and my parents are urging me to get married. But if I can't marry him, I might as well cut my hair and become a aunt."

She hid her face and cried: "I don't want to marry anyone but him!"

Li Ling rushed back to the city, dismissed Liang Jin, walked around to the street, and got into a jewelry store.

 After a while, he came out with a bag of women's accessories.

It is not unusual for a man to choose jewelry for his wife, but for a grown man like Li Ling, it is really embarrassing for him to go into a place where such women come to choose jewelry. He walked out of the jewelry building, subconsciously looked around and saw no one he knew, and felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to get on his horse, a familiar voice came from behind him.

 “Is it Bethjoh?”

Li Ling turned around sharply and saw Cai Lun, calling him from behind with his wife.

Li Ling showed a trace of embarrassment on his face and said, "It turns out to be Brother Cai. What a coincidence."

Cai Lun smiled and said: "I accompanied my wife to choose jewelry. I just saw the personal image of you on the second floor, so I hurried down, but I didn't expect it was really you."

Li Ling subconsciously put the jewelry bag in his hand into his sleeve pocket.

Cai Lun asked: "Are you also here to choose jewelry for Madam? Why are you leaving in a hurry, but you have already selected it? The jewelry on the second floor of Jade Jade Building is of the highest quality. Why didn't you go up and choose it?"

Li Ling smiled awkwardly and said perfunctorily: "I just helped Madam pick up some things on the way. I have already chosen them."

 After saying that, he clasped his fists slightly towards Cai Lun and his wife and said, "I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."

Li Ling hurried back to his house, entered Qingfeng Garden, and gave her the jewelry he chose for Jingshu like a treasure.

"Open it and take a look. This is the silk flower I chose for you at Jade House."

This is really the sun rising in the west. Jingshu can't believe that a man like her would go to the jewelry store in person.

He asked in surprise: "Did you buy it for me yourself?"

Li Ling smiled and replied: "Of course."

As he spoke, he couldn't wait to open the jewelry bag for his wife.

 When she saw those colorful silk flowers, the smile on Jingshu's face froze.

 A bag of silk flowers are all in bright colors, bright red, deep purple, rose pink, golden and silver.

 Each one is bigger than the other, and each one is as gorgeous as the other.

Looking at these exaggerated silk flowers, Jingshu couldn't help but think of those matchmakers who walked around from house to house all day long, waving their handkerchiefs around.

"You don't like it?" Li Ling asked, holding the silk flowers and looking at his wife.

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling and then looked at the gorgeous silk flowers. She twitched her lips and said, "This is the first time you gave me jewelry that you personally selected. Of course I like it, but you chose it for me." There are so many silk flowers, how can I wear them?"

Li Ling said cheerfully: "As long as you like them, you can wear them differently every day."

As he spoke, Li Ling picked up the largest red peony silk flower, looked at his wife lovingly and said, "Come here, I will also imitate other people's elegance and decorate my wife's hairpin myself."

This straight man is working so hard to change her. Although Jingshu is unwilling to wear that tacky silk flower, she still can't bear to pour cold water on him.

Jingshu lowered her head slightly, smiled and encouraged him: "My husband is becoming more and more considerate."
