Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 200: His wife’s momentary weakness made him soften his heart

Li Ling rode his horse straight back to the mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Uncle Xiang, the chief steward, waiting for him at the door. When he saw Li Ling returning, Uncle Xiang hurriedly came forward and said, "The prince has finally expected you to come back."

Li Ling knew that if something like this happened, his family would inevitably be frightened. He got off his horse and replied, "Don't worry, Uncle Xiang. Nothing will happen."

When Uncle Xiang heard what Li Ling said, the worry on his face disappeared, and he muttered: "It's good to be safe. It's really the blessing of our ancestors."

Li Ling warned: "Didn't the old lady know about this?"

The old grandmother is feeling better these days, and Li Ling is worried that she will get angry again if she finds out about this.

Uncle Xiang replied: "Second Madam has made a decision when she came back. Now everyone is hiding it from the old Madam. We dare not let her know anything about it."

Li Ling nodded and handed the horse's rein to the boy beside him.

Uncle Xiang followed Li Ling and said, "Everyone is worried. They are all waiting for the letter in the front hall. Please go over quickly."

After listening to Uncle Xiang's words, Li Ling ran straight to the front yard and strode into the meeting hall. When he saw Li Ling coming in, the third girl was the first to come up to him. His little face was still full of worry and asked: "But are you going to surrender?" Sin?"

Li Ling comforted his sister and said, "I'm not punished."

After hearing this, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

 Li Ling walked up to his wife, looked at her deeply, and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Xu Wanning stroked her chest and said, "Who would have expected such a disaster to happen? It's really scary."

Li Xian has improved now. He heard that such a disaster happened and he could still lie down, so he came to sit on the push chair.

He asked: "The Eighth Princess is the jewel of the Holy One, yet she didn't blame us when something like this happened?"

 Li Ling replied: "There is indeed no blame."

Afraid that everyone would not believe it, he explained: "Although this incident happened in front of our family account, it was an accident. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, did not blame you."

The family is already worried, especially his wife and sister, who are even more frightened. Now Li Ling just wants to make everyone feel at ease.

As for the fact that my wife was deprived of her royal title and my sister was about to receive a reward from the princess but also fell through, how can it be compared with the peace of the family.

These things will take a few days for everyone to settle down, and let me tell you that now the top priority of the family is to appease the family.

 Seeing Li Ling say this, everyone was really relieved.

Li Xiang said: "Fortunately, the Holy Master has a distinguished name."

Although Li Yu rejected Li Ling's kindness and did not go hunting with him in the winter, he heard about it and came over today, but he just stood aside and said nothing.

Li Xian was still resentful after being expelled from the cabinet by His Majesty, and muttered in a low voice: "It is rare for this Majesty to be famous for his honor."

Xu Wanning on the side saw her husband uttering contradictory words and quickly handed over a knife. Li Xian immediately closed his mouth and sighed: "It's good to be safe. I don't want anything else."

Xu Wanning sighed and said, "It's so good that we encountered such a disaster."

As she spoke, she clasped her hands together and muttered: "It's really the blessing of our ancestors to turn danger into safety this time. When I go to the family temple to offer sacrifices this year, I need to burn more paper money and offer more incense."

Jingshu said: "Since there is nothing to do, everyone should go back and rest."

 Everyone calmed down and left the meeting hall in twos and threes, heading towards their respective courtyards. Seeing that his wife was always depressed, Li Ling knew that she was a smart person and it was difficult to be deceived by his few words. When he walked back, he kept holding her hand.

 Firm strength came from Li Ling's big hand, dispelling the fear in Jing Shu's heart. She turned her head to look at Li Ling and gave him a warm smile in return.

It was windy and cold at night, so Li Ling took advantage of the opportunity to take off his cloak and let his wife wear it, but Jing Shu held him down and said angrily: "I'm not cold, so just keep it on."

Li Xian, who was being pushed by his grandmother, saw that his younger brother and his wife were in love. He glanced at his wife who was walking aside, followed his brother's example and took off the mink velvet on his body, and handed it to the grandmother behind him.

Mammy replied, unfolding a thick mink velvet and covering Xu Wanning's body.

Xu Wanning had not yet fully recovered from the shock of the day. She glanced at the mink velvet that her grandma had put on her face, and then glanced at Li Xian who was smiling fawningly at her, and untied the mink velvet with a sullen face. Then he threw it to Li Xian again with a "hoo!", and still said something bad: "Don't be so courteous to me for nothing."

Li Xian, who was sitting on the push chair, looked at his wife and said helplessly: "Aren't I afraid that you will be cold?"

Xu Wanning snorted coldly: "You'd better dress yourself in a body like yours."

Li Xian saw that his wife refused to appreciate her, and said angrily: "I really don't know good people's hearts."

 Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at him and retorted: "I don't believe you have good intentions."

“How can I not be kind when I let you wear the mink velvet?”

“Hmph! You’re so courteous for nothing, maybe you’re holding something in your heart.”

“I’m like this, and you still don’t believe me?”

 “Huh! I believe you”

The two of them bickered all the way back to Bitangju in Xiyuan. Xu Wanning went to Baoxia to see the children first, and Li Xian was pushed into the main room by his mother-in-law.

 Xu Wanning came back only after Mammy put Li Xian to bed.

Li Xian asked: "Have the children fallen asleep?"

 Xu Wanning took off her cloak and replied, "They are all asleep."

 Speaking, he entered the bathroom and started washing up.

Li Xian leaned on the bed and looked at his wife who was walking out of the bathroom in a crimson coat, his eyes brightened.

 Actually, Xu Wanning is also a beauty. When they first got married, Li Xian was also fascinated by her and asked for her every night in the bed. So Xu Wanning became pregnant with brother Kun less than a year after she entered the family, and she became pregnant with sister not long after giving birth to Kun'er.

Li Xiansheng is handsome, talented, and well-spoken and knows how to please women. In the first few years of their marriage, the two of them had a good time.

 But as time went by, the contradiction between the two gradually became apparent. Xu Wanning is straightforward and hot-tempered. She insists on competing with Li Xian whenever she disagrees. Li Xian has also passed the freshness of the wedding period and has gradually lost patience with his wife.

Later, the Holy Emperor rewarded him with a bewitching concubine. Li Xian was not sure about it, and the rift between him and his wife became deeper and deeper, which led to many foolish things he did later.

 Did he really not love Xu Wanning anymore? Asking himself, when he proposed to divorce her, he saw Xu Wanning crying. His wife, who had always been strong, had only that moment of weakness, which shook his heart.

That day, they did not reconcile. Even though it was because of Jing Shu and Xu Wanning's natal brother-in-law, the main reason was that Li Xian finally softened his heart.

He looked at his wife and hesitated: "Madam, come here."
