Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 281 Li Ling’s little thoughts

Before Jiang Youchen could react, Li Ling on the side pretended to be surprised and said, "This is why you asked me to invite Ah Chen. Who are you going to tell Ah Chen?"

Jing Shu glanced at Li Ling's pretense and really wanted to beat him up.

She rolled her eyes at Li Ling secretly, smiled and said to Jiang Youchen, who looked surprised and confused: "She is the daughter of our old lady's nephew, named Murong Lizhu."

Not waiting for Jiang Youchen's reaction, Li Ling stroked on the side: "Yeah! It turns out that you actually told Achen's cousin to Achen, the wife's good eyes!"

As he spoke, he patted Jiang Youchen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Cousin Lizhu is both talented and beautiful, and she is a perfect match for Ah Chen."

Jing Shu ignored Li Ling who was acting coquettishly at the side, and only said to Jiang Youchen: "Cousin Lizhu is temporarily staying in the house. When my cousin's errands are settled, you can bring gifts to greet the old lady. My sister-in-law and I will take cousin Lizhu with us." After we came out of Anxi Hall, we exchanged a few words together, cousin, do you still remember?"

Murong Lizhu is a beauty with outstanding appearance and temperament. Naturally, it is very easy to leave an impression on others. Jiang Youchen is naturally not a follower, but since they have met openly and spoken to each other, after Jingshu mentioned this, her mind I was somewhat impressed.

 “I remember this.”

Jiang Youchen glanced at Jing Shu lightly and answered absentmindedly, but he felt a sense of joy in his heart.

Jiang Youchen has liked Jingshu since he was a child. His parents and Shen's father also tried their best to facilitate their marriage, and they all wanted him to get married to Jingshu, but Jingshu refused the marriage. From then on, Jiang Youchen understood in his heart that Jingshu had always regarded him as an elder brother and had no relationship between men and women. Over the years, he has been restraining his feelings, but he still can't let go completely.

Even if a person's feelings are suppressed by reason, how can he just forget them? He admitted that even though Jingshu was already a wife, he still loved her silently. Deepest in his heart There is a place reserved specifically for her.

It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Youchen finally came to his senses when he heard Jingshu speak up for him. He shouldn't be in love with her anymore, even if it was just hidden deep in his heart.

 Just in my heart, it hurts terribly.

“Oh? If Ah Chen can still remember it so clearly after such a long time, he must have a good impression of cousin Lizhu.”

Jiang Youchen is here to socialize with nature and people. Li Ling, who has always been quiet and never pays attention to these romantic affairs, is surprisingly enthusiastic and enthusiastic today.

Jiang Youchen came back to his thoughts, smiled at Li Lingjingshu, and replied politely: "Murong is a famous noble in Daqi. I am afraid that my family is not worthy of Miss Murong. General Li and I appreciate my cousin's kindness, but this marriage must be about being well-matched."

This is the meaning of polite refusal.

Seeing that Jiang Youchen was unwilling, Jingshu couldn't force her, so she simply replied: "Cousin Lizhu is indeed a good match, but if my cousin doesn't want to, just pretend that I didn't say anything about it."

After hearing what Jiang Youchen said, Li Ling stopped talking about Murong Lizhu and just said to Jing Shu: "It's okay if Ah Chen doesn't like this marriage. Don't get angry because of it." "Although Ah Chen has already reached the age of marriage, there are many noble girls in the capital. If you meet the right one in the future, you should pay more attention to Ah Chen."

 It sounds as if Jing Shu is looking forward to Jiang Youchen's marriage.

After hearing this, Jiang Youchen showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, and said with a wry smile to Jing Shu: "As an elder brother, I let my cousin worry about me."

Jingshu could hear the sadness in Jiang Youchen's words, and she couldn't bear it. She rolled her eyes at Li Ling secretly, and couldn't help but kick him with her foot under the table.

Li Ling glared at Jing Shu and said in a low voice: Why are you kicking me? "

Then, he persuaded Jiang Youchen straightforwardly: "Ah Chen is out of touch when he says this. We are close relatives. This is what Shu'er and I should do. I know you have always had the ambition to make achievements, but when you start a family, it is You have to get married first, and then you can build your career. You are just like me. Ever since I married Shuer, she has been helping me wholeheartedly, which is really helpful to my career." Jiang Youchen's face darkened, and he only smiled bitterly and agreed: "General Li It’s a blessing to have such a good wife like my cousin.”

 “Achen is absolutely right!”

Jingshu pinched Li Ling hard under the table. Li Ling restrained himself and said to Jiang Youchen: "This is a marriage that Achen doesn't want to do. Come on, don't interfere with our drinking."

With that said, Li Ling raised his glass and drank with Jiang Youchen: "I wish Ah Chen to find a good wife soon."

Li Ling didn't care much whether the marriage would happen or not. By using this incident to wake up Jiang Youchen, he had achieved his goal.

A grown man like Li Ling can't stand other people secretly carrying his woman in his heart. From time to time, he hears acid words like Sun Amu and Zhang Amu. He and Jing Shu were destined to be together, but when these people said that, it was as if he had become a third party. Li Ling panicked just thinking about it.

 Obviously, Li Ling achieved his goal.

The scene he set up today really woke Jiang Youchen up.

Jiang Youchen drank the wine that Li Lingjing brought over. The wine kept burning into his heart, burning away the remaining unrealistic thoughts in his heart.

The two of them drank to the willow branches in the moonlight, and they both showed their drunkenness before dispersing.

Jingshu ordered Ling Xiao to send Jiang Youchen, who was already drunk, back to the house, while she helped Li Ling, who was also very drunk, back to the inner room.

After placing him on the bed, Ziyun brought a wet towel and handed it to Jingshu and said, "This is the first time I've seen my uncle drunk."

Jingshu wiped his face with a wet towel and said angrily: "How can two people not get drunk if they drink so hard?"

Seeing that Li Ling was also drunk and unconscious, Ziyun covered her mouth and snickered: "I didn't expect my uncle to be so cunning. I just saw him talking nonsense and pretending in front of you and the third young master." Danzhu and I almost couldn't help but burst into laughter due to his ignorance."

Hearing Ziyun mention this, Jingshu threw the towel aside and was so angry that she reached out and pinched Li Ling's ears. She saw that he was humming and very drunk, but she didn't have the heart to do it.

She retracted her hand, rolled her eyes at Li Ling, who was drunk and unconscious on the bed, and said bitterly: "You are stingy, but you have learned how to lie and act. When he sobers up tomorrow, let's see how I argue with him."

Ziyun picked up the towel, soaked it in the water to wet it, handed it to Jingshu and said: "Now that you are married, it would be great if you can make the third young master understand it completely. He is not young now, so it is time for him to do so." Got a family."

Jingshu nodded silently and murmured: "Not to mention, cousin Lizhu and cousin are indeed quite suitable."

After Jingshu wiped Li Ling clean with a wet towel, she closed the bed curtain and left with Ziyun.

The man who was drunk and unconscious on the bed slowly opened his eyes. Li Ling quietly glanced at his wife's back, with a sly smile on his lips.

 He turned over and changed into a comfortable position, and then he really fell asleep.
