Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 261 Must take back Jiao Xing

Today, Li Xiang was on night duty. Pingyang had dinner alone, and then came to Qingfeng Garden with his personal maid Yuzhu.

The two masters and servants entered Qingfeng Garden. The woman on duty at the door welcomed Pingyang in enthusiastically, while the other hurriedly went to the room to report the news.

Pingyang followed the mother-in-law slowly to the yard and saw the graceful figure of a young woman in the corridor from a distance. Pingyang saw that this woman did not look like a maid dressed up and knew that there were no other concubines in Jingshu's yard, so he became curious. He asked the woman who was leading the way: "Who is that woman on the porch?"

The mother-in-law glanced into the corridor and replied truthfully: "That one is the concubine who was rewarded by the palace yesterday."

It is normal for powerful families to receive rewards from the palace or give concubines to each other, but before Pingyang married into the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, he heard that the prince's son loved his wife, and there was no concubine in the house. For Pingyang, the princess who was born into a prince's family and was used to seeing her father, brothers and concubines in groups, this kind of thing was beyond belief and understanding. It wasn't until she saw it with her own eyes after marrying into the prince's palace that she understood what the real world was like. There is a saying in the book about a couple who will be together for the rest of their lives.

Because he had always been curious about the brother and sister-in-law of her husband's family, Pingyang heard that her mother-in-law said that she was a concubine gifted by the Holy Emperor, so she couldn't help but look over there.

Pingyang had just been married into the house for less than two months and had not moved around many houses. When Jingshu heard that the mother-in-law said that the third lady was coming, she personally brought her maid to welcome her out.

Seeing that Jingshu responded in person, Pingyang quickly looked away from Ji Nu in the distance, saluted Jingshu with a smile on her face and said, "Second sister-in-law, okay."

Jingshu walked slowly to the corridor, greeted Pingyang with a smile, and warmly invited her into the house.

Li Ling went to the study to handle official business after dinner. There were only Jingshu and a few personal maids in the room, so even though Pingyang came to visit for the first time after his marriage, he was not very formal.

The maids served fragrant tea and fruits, Pingyang slowly sat down on the rose chair, and said with greetings: "I went to my grandmother's place to say hello this morning. I heard that the second sister-in-law has been feeling unwell for a while, and it just so happened that the third master was in the palace today. It’s worth it. Now that I have the opportunity, I’ll come over and see my second sister-in-law.”

Jingshu saw that Pingyang, a married woman, behaved well and spoke politely. She liked it in her heart and replied with a smile: "You just came in. It's up to me, my sister-in-law, to see you more. It's just that I've been really happy these days." It hurts me so much, but I let you come to visit me in turn, I am really ashamed."

Pingyang picked up the tea cup and drank lightly, then replied with a smile: "The second sister-in-law is pregnant and has difficulty moving. Even my grandmother has given an order not to let you and the eldest sister-in-law go to pay their respects. How could I choose the second sister-in-law?"

Seeing Pingyang's rosy complexion, Jingshu asked with a smile: "Are you still used to living here after being married? Is the third brother taking good care of you?"

Hearing Jingshu mention Li Xiang, Pingyang's round little face immediately blushed, and she said shyly: "The third master is a careful person. I married into the family, and he took good care of me."

Jingshu saw Pingyang like this and saw that he and his wife were getting along very harmoniously. She was naturally happy and said to Pingyang in a coquettish voice: "Although the Li family is big, we are the only three closest sisters in the family." Hey, you just got married, if you have any difficulties, you can come to me or my sister-in-law."

Pingyang has always been very kind to Jingshu, her sister-in-law. After hearing this, she smiled brightly at Jingshu: "Before I married into the mansion, I often heard my grandmother and mother mention that the palace was a clean place that was hard to find in Beijing. At home, the female family members in the house are harmonious and easy to get along with. My parents and family are far away in the south. I am lucky to be able to marry into such a family. It saves me worries here and saves my family from worrying about me."

The two sisters-in-law exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Pingyang Zhuangruo asked unintentionally: "Second sister-in-law, I heard that there used to be a maid named Jiao Xing in the third master's room, right?"

As soon as Jingshu heard Pingyang mention this, the smile on her face faded.

When the third master was young and impulsive, he broke the family rules. Apart from her and Li Ling, the only two women who knew about this matter were the two women in charge. Those two women were both old people in the house, and they were both very decent people. They would never be in front of Pingyang. Talkative.

Jingshu asked back, "Who did you hear about this Jiao Xing?" Pingyang saw Jingshu's tight-lipped expression and replied with a smile: "The third master told me, and to be honest with the second sister-in-law, we just said When we got engaged, Third Master told me about this."

“Oh?” Jingshu was surprised when she heard what Pingyang said. She didn’t expect that Li Xiang would do this.

Pingyang said to Jingshu: "To be honest with my sister-in-law, I have been used to seeing the wives and concubines of my father and brothers in the palace since I was a child. I don't mind my husband being beautiful at all."

As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly and said, "As long as he doesn't spoil his concubines and destroy his wives, I can tolerate him."

Jingshu smiled awkwardly and replied, "Third brother is not that ignorant."

Pingyang looked at Jingshu and said, "That's why I want to bring this beautiful girl back. Now that the third master is married, it's time to bring her back."

Li Xiang and Ping Yang had just gotten married less than two months ago. Even if Ping Yang really didn't care about Li Xiang's previous affairs with Jiao Xing, Jing Shu couldn't understand why she was so anxious to take Jiao Xing back.

Jingshu just thought that Pingyang was still young and undecided, and kindly advised: "You have just gotten married. If you really want to take that girl back, it won't be too late in a year or two, so why rush now."

As she spoke, she asked tentatively: "Is it because the third brother is impatient and wants to take her back?"

Pingyang quickly waved his hand and said, "Of course my husband won't mention this. This is just what I mean."

After Li Xiang broke the family rules, Jiao Xing was settled by Jing Shu. Over the years, although Li Xiang asked Jing Shu about her, Jing Shu was worried that he was young and impulsive and never told him where Jiao Xing lived. Now Li Xiang Xiang is already married. Since Pingyang doesn't care about this, Jingshu has no reason to hide it anymore.

"I placed that girl in Longzhuang on the outskirts of the country. Although I have never seen her, I heard from the manager that this girl is also a real and law-abiding girl. She has been living in the village honestly for all these years. Never caused any trouble."

After hearing what Jingshu said, Pingyang smiled slightly: "Thank you, sister-in-law, for telling me this."

Jingshu replied: "If you really want to take her back, you might as well discuss it with the third brother first. If the third brother is already indifferent, I will find a safe family for this girl."

At first, it was a young man's impulse, but now that Li Xiang has married a lovely wife, he may have forgotten about Jiao Xing, but Jing Shu is actually happy to see Li Xiang and Ping Yang living their lives together.

Jingshu was planning for Pingyang, but Pingyang said: "Since this girl has already been with the third master, her husband no longer cares about her, and it is not good for her to marry anyone else. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will keep her After I picked it up, I just placed it properly in the yard."
