Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 201 Head cantilever, conical thorns

Li Xian looked at his wife infatuatedly and hesitated: "Madam, come here."

 Xu Wanning was sitting in front of the dressing table to comb her hair after taking a shower. After hearing Li Xian's inexplicable words, she turned her head and said, "Do you want convenience? I'll call grandma in."

Although Li Xian has recovered somewhat, he is still unable to take care of himself. Now the two of them live in the same house, and Xu Wanning orders the nuns to take care of him in all these matters.

Li Xian listened to his wife's words, his face was embarrassed and he explained: "No."

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes at him and said impatiently: "Then what did you call me for?" After saying that, she turned her head and fixed her hair.

Li Xian glanced at his wife's black hair hanging like silk on her tall and slender waist. His throat rolled, and even his lower body, which had been unconscious until now, suddenly felt hot.

 “Come here for a moment.” Finally, he couldn’t help but said again.

Xu Wanning turned her head and glanced at Li Xian's flushed face. He frowned and said in surprise: "What's wrong with you? Do you want to order someone to call the doctor?"

Although she has given up on Li Xian, for the sake of her children, she will not expect him to die.

Xu Wanning saw that Li Xian was blushing and silent, so she subconsciously walked up to him.

Li Xian was about to reach out to his wife when Xu Wanning asked impatiently: "What's wrong with you? Does it matter? If you have anything to do, just say it happily, this is my house, don't you die if you can't get up in one breath?" it's here."

As soon as Li Xian heard this, the heat in his lower body immediately disappeared, and the redness on his face also faded away in an instant.

He gave his wife a deep look and said helplessly: "I'm fine."

"It's really inexplicable!" Xu Wanning saw that he was acting like a monster. She turned around and went to her bed. She tightly lowered the bed curtains and fell asleep.

Li Xiang returned to the gate of Xianglin Garden and met Guo Cuiyan again by chance.

When Guo Cuiyan saw Li Xiang, he came up to him and said with a worried look on his face: "I've also heard about what happened today. How about it? Will the superiors punish you?"

Guo Cuiyan is not pretending this time. She really wants to climb the big tree of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and become the upright master of the house. If the big tree falls like this, it will definitely affect her future.

Li Xiang still had a polite smile on his face and replied: "Cousin, don't worry, the Holy Father didn't blame you."

When Guo Cuiyan heard this, her face showed joy and asked: "Is what the third master said true? Is there no deception?"

Li Xiang replied: "The Holy Spirit really didn't blame me. Cousin, please don't worry. It's getting late. Just go back quickly."

Such things happened in the house today. It's rare that Xu Wanning didn't spare the energy to order people to watch her. How could Guo Cuiyan be willing to give up after just saying these two words to Li Xiang.

She put on a pitiful look and replied softly: "Although I live in the house, I am taken care of by the house. Now I regard this place as my own home and love it. Today I learned that there is something wrong with the house." This kind of thing really scares me to death.”

Li Xiang was tired from all the hard work today. Although he was impatient to grind his teeth with her here, he still endured his temper and replied gently: "There is nothing to do now. Cousin, please go back and rest."

Seeing Li Ling driving people away again and again, Guo Cuiyan hesitated and said, "I just ordered my maid to go do something."

As she said that, she looked around and murmured to herself: "It's been so long, why haven't I seen this girl coming?" Guo Cuiyan looked embarrassed, like a timid little white rabbit, facing her Li Xiang requested timidly; "Xiyuan is far away from here, and it's so dark now. I'm really scared."

Guo Cuiyan had the intention of letting Li Xiang give it to her.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiang ordered the nanny who was keeping watch at the door: "Nanny, go and send your cousin back."

As soon as Guo Cuiyan heard this, her fiery heart immediately turned into ice. Just when she was about to speak again, she saw that Li Xiang had already entered the courtyard.

Fourth Master Li Yu returned to the study from the front hall and was about to read the book.



Li Yu put down the book in her hand and said, "Everyone thought they would blame me, but why did I think it was forgiveness?"

Mammy Zhou put down the food box in her hand and said to her master with a smile: "If you blame me, how can the Fourth Master still settle down and study here?"

Li Yu replied: "Mom is really smart."

Aunt Zhou smiled and replied: "You are the only one who can do this. You are also the master of this house. It is always bad to just stand aside and ignore everything. So let's go hunting in the winter." The prince has been urging you to go with me every year, but you always refuse. As time goes by, it will make people feel chilling."

Li Yu coldly hummed and said: "What kind of master am I? Who in this house regards me as a serious master? The second brother is just doing some face-saving things to me because of his status. Why should I go there without knowing myself?" ask for contempt."

He paused and continued: "In the past, I was afraid that the Holy Father would blame me if something like this happened. After all, I will take the imperial examination next year, so I don't want this to affect my reference."

He glanced at Aunt Zhou and said, "Fortunately, the Holy Spirit has not punished me, so I can take the imperial examination as I wish."

Aunt Zhou knew that this master was selfish and stubborn, so she shook her head and stopped trying to persuade him. She just took out the meals from the food box and placed them one by one in front of Li Yu: "Fourth Master, let's have supper first."

 Li Yu glanced at the rich and exquisite meal and muttered: "These slaves are quite obedient. The mistress said it once, but they actually kept doing it."

Grandma Zhou really couldn't bear to let down others. She handed the filled milk soup to Li Yu and said: "A while ago, the second lady called me to inquire about your diet and daily life. Now the people below are also Seeing that the second lady treats you young masters like a bowl of water, I don’t dare to neglect her.”

Hearing what Grandma Zhou said, Li Yu stopped talking and just focused on eating.

After eating for later use, he said to Grandma Zhou: "Has my rope been hidden by Grandma again?"

Li Yu has always been a voracious reader, but now that the scientific examination is about to take place, he has to study hard all night long every day.

Seeing that he was going to abuse her like this again, Grandma Zhou couldn't help but advise: "No matter how hard you work, you can't ignore rest. If you stay awake all day long, your body will be unable to bear it sooner or later."

After listening to Aunt Zhou's nagging, Li Yu showed displeasure and replied impatiently: "The scientific examination will be held in May next year. There is not much time now. Auntie, please don't hold me back. Please pull the rope quickly." Take it here and there.”

Mammy Zhou reluctantly handed the rope and awl to Li Yu, shook her head and walked out.
