Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 189 You still have to be your wife at the critical moment

Li Xiang was busy with errands these days. When he returned, it was already the west border of Wujin. When he walked to his Xianglin Garden, he saw Guo Cuiyan standing at the gate of the courtyard.

When Guo Cuiyan saw Li Xiang, she stepped forward with a smile and said, "Third Master, it's really hard work for you to come back so late."

Li Xiang is a person with a gentle temper and a simple mind. Although Guo Cuiyan came to look for her again and again, because she had some suitable excuses every time, Li Xiang simply thought that because she was similar in age to him, Guo Cuiyan was willing to Get close to him without thinking about anything else at all.

 Li Xiang had a gentle smile on his face: "Your Majesty will be hunting in the past two days, so I'm busy. It's not so hard normally."

Guo Cuiyan took a snack box from her maid Chunhong and gave it to Li Xiang: "The story book that Third Master brought back to me a few days ago looked very good. I have nothing to thank Third Master for, so I made it myself today. Some snacks can be considered as a thank you gift."

Li Xiang waved his hands quickly and said, "I'm just doing this on my way. It's nothing trivial. Cousin, please don't be so polite."

Guo Cuiyan's eyes filled with anger, she said angrily to Li Xiang: "The third master refuses to accept it because he dislikes the lightness of my gift."

As she spoke, she reached out and put the snack box into Li Xiang's hand.

Li Xiang accidentally touched her hand and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He didn't want to argue with her anymore, so he simply accepted it and said with a slight embarrassment: "Since my cousin insists on giving it away, then I will accept it." Come on, but next time, cousin, please don’t show up like this."

Guo Cuiyan lowered her head, with a blush on her face, and replied: "If it is convenient, Mr. San will pass by the bookstall someday. Please bring me some nice little books. I am now living under someone else's roof. The best thing is to go out of the house."

Li Xiang replied: "How can my cousin say this? You are the second aunt's niece. There is nothing wrong with living in the house. Don't think too much about it. If it is inconvenient for you to go out, I will take you with you when I see you." I'll just give it to you when I come back, it's not a big deal, cousin, don't be polite."

Guo Cuiyan smiled at Li Xiang. She glanced at the plum trees in full bloom in Li Xiang's courtyard and said as if unintentionally: "The plum blossoms are blooming really well. I never thought that the Third Master also likes plum blossoms."

Li Xiang naturally doesn't like these flowers and plants. These plum trees were planted by him for his sweetheart Jiao Xing.

Hearing Guo Cuiyan talk about the plum blossoms, he looked startled, and he couldn't help but miss the person he cherished.

Chunhong said from the side: "What a coincidence, our girl also likes plum blossoms."

Guo Cuiyan glanced at Li Xiang and said: "The plum blossoms are blooming big and bright. The plum tree of Sanye doesn't look like the common ones we have. It looks very novel."

Guo Cuiyan looked at Li Xiang with her eyes filled with joy, and with the innocent smile of a little **** her face, she asked: "Can I go into the yard and have a look?"

Li Xiang still had a gentle look on his face, and politely refused: "It's not that I'm stingy and won't let my cousin go in to see it, it's just that it's dark now, and I'm afraid that spreading the word will affect my cousin's reputation."

Guo Cuiyan's face stiffened, and then she said suddenly, "Look at me, I was confused when I saw this strange plum blossom. I didn't expect this."

As she spoke, she gave Li Xiang a slight smile and put on her shy face again: "It really made the Third Master laugh."

The two of them were talking here, and Si'er, the eldest girl next to Xu Wanning in Bitangju, walked straight over.

Guo Cuiyan raised her eyes and saw this unlucky girl again. She felt disgusted and her face could not help but darken.

Si'er arrived in front of the two of them. First he bowed slightly to Li Xiang and then to Guo Cuiyan, and said with a smile: "It's so late, why hasn't my cousin gone back yet?"

Guo Cuiyan rolled her eyes at her and said, "I'm about to go back." As she said that, she turned around and left angrily.

Xu Wanning is now eyeing her. As soon as she comes into contact with the Third Master without saying a few words, the people in Bitangju will definitely come over and treat her strangely.

The more Guo Cuiyan thought about it, the angrier she became. When she returned to the house, she was so angry that she threw herself here and there.

Chunhong hurriedly advised: "Miss, don't be upset. I see that the third master seems to be a good man. You can think of something else."

Guo Cuiyan said angrily: "Then Mrs. Xu now orders people to keep an eye on me. It's really a bad thing."

Chunhong rolled her eyes and suggested: "Why don't you tell the second wife about it? She always loves you. If you can tell the third master, she will have an extra layer of support in this house, right? The second wife It will definitely help you achieve what you want.”

Guo Cuiyan sighed and said, "My aunt is naturally eager to do this, but how can the old lady nod so easily?"

She said sadly: "With my family background, I'm afraid the old lady won't be able to do it."

Chunhong replied: "In terms of family status, the Shen family's family is not as good as ours, and they have become the prince's wife."

After hearing Chunhong's words, Guo Cuiyan was enlightened. He rolled his eyes and murmured: "Then Mrs. Shen lost her virginity because she fell into the water and was rescued by the Crown Prince, so she was lucky enough to marry in."

 She said slyly: "This is a good idea."

Si'er disturbed Guo Cuiyan and quickly stepped back to Bitangju.

Xu Wanning was playing with the newly delivered jewelry from the jewelry store. After listening to Si'er's words, she glanced at Li Xian who was leaning on the bed and sneered: "You are really quite capable, my cousin. I can't count on you now. She went to take advantage of the third brother again. If I hadn’t ordered people to keep an eye on her every day, I’m afraid that the simple-minded third brother would have been harmed by her."

Guo Cuiyan was good at it. Li Xian had really fallen into the trap set by others. Now that he saw clearly that Lin Xia Zhifeng's cousin had such an expression, he felt both annoyed and regretful.

Hearing his wife mention her, Li Xian replied impatiently: "It would be a disaster for such a shameless woman to stay in the house. I will find a chance to tell my mother some other time to send her back."

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at Li Xian: "It's rare that you have enlightened yourself. She is indeed a disaster, but if you want to drive her away, you have to talk to your mother. She is your mother's natal family after all, and others are not good at all. Open your mouth."

 When it comes to that old woman, Li Xian is even more powerful than her. Ever since he became paralyzed, his mother has been crying all day long. When she came back to see him, she looked like she was crying in mourning. Every time, Li Xian wished he could hit her head to death. He could not listen and his mind was not disturbed, but he was at peace.

Now, Li Xian has completely woken up. He cannot count on anyone else. At the critical moment, he has to rely on his wife.

Although Xu Wanning still spoke coldly to him, she had treated him the same way before, and she didn't change anything just because he was paralyzed.

Unlike other people who supported him and coaxed him when he was in glory, when he was in trouble, they all hid far away. Even his mother complained every day that she had raised him in vain. Li Xian felt like a mirror in his heart. Her mother just saw that he could not bring her glory and she also despised him.

Li Xian looked at his wife with unbearable sorrow in his heart, and tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
