Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 288 Li Ling wants to drive away Gong Ji

The old lady hugged her great-grandson and smiled from ear to ear: "Look, I'm crying. Don't think we are easy to fool when we are young. This child is really smart."

Everyone gathered around and praised her, and then Mother Qiu carried her to the wet nurse to feed her milk.

Xu Wanning looked at Pingyang and said: "Your second sister-in-law and I just learned about your pregnancy, and we originally thought about taking the pregnancy chart to give you a measurement, but who would have thought that it would start as soon as we walked to the gate."

Pingyang smiled and joked: "Sister-in-law's prediction made Erlang cry a lot. It shows that it is not credible. I don't want to speculate."

When Xu Wanning heard this, she said anxiously: "I tested your second sister-in-law to have twins, doesn't that mean it's true? Although Erlang's calculation is not accurate, it's not completely unbelievable."

Pingyang flattened his lips and said with a smile: "Then if the second sister-in-law's babies are really twin boys, I will believe in this prediction."

 One sentence made everyone laugh.

The old lady looked at her grandson-in-law's bulging belly, and of course she was hoping that one of the twins would have a boy. After all, this grandson was going to inherit the title. Although the three granddaughter-in-laws were pregnant one after another, the old lady Naturally, I value Jingshu's pregnancy more in my heart.

Although the old lady was looking forward to it in her heart, she didn’t show it on her face. She just smiled and said: “Boys and girls are fine. As long as you all have a smooth life like your sister-in-law, grandma will be happy.”

After listening to the old lady's words, Jingshu glanced at Xu Wanning on the bed, smiled and coaxed the old lady and said, "Grandma, don't worry, my sister-in-law will proofread it for us, and my siblings and I will be able to do it smoothly."

Jingshu is attentive, and the old lady has always been the most attentive to what she says.

The old lady couldn't help but look at her grandson-in-law's belly with a smile, and then she called to the two grandson-in-laws: "Let's go, so that your sister-in-law can have a good rest."

 When everyone left Bitangju, they saw Li Ling and Li Xiang coming towards them.

Li Xiang saw a few people and asked with a smile: "I heard that my sister-in-law has given birth?"

The old lady smiled and said: "It's a boy. He has been fed milk and has fallen asleep. If you want to see it, come back later."

After hearing this, Li Xiang said with a hint of disappointment: "Then I'll come over to see my nephew later."

Li Ling was originally a cold and solemn person. He was here to pick up his pregnant wife and had no interest in his newborn nephew. Now that he heard that the child was asleep, he was actually hoping for it.

Pingyang had just become pregnant, and the old lady kept nagging them in their ears all the way. When they reached a fork in the road and everyone separated, Li Ling asked: "You just saw your sister-in-law giving birth to a baby. Do you have any?" Learn from experience.”

Ever since he learned that Jingshu was pregnant with twins, Li Ling was worried.

Having a child is not like other things, can you learn any experience?

Seeing that Li Ling asked such silly questions again, Jing Shu comforted him and said, "I have been with my sister-in-law when she gave birth to this baby, and I have learned everything clearly. When I give birth myself, I won't be in a hurry."

After hearing this, Li Ling couldn't help but smile, and raised his hand to protect his wife's waist.

 When the two of them entered Qingfeng Garden, they happened to meet Gong Ji Qingyin who was heading towards the upper room.

 Qingyin saw Li Lingjingshu and quickly bowed and saluted.

Jingshu smiled and asked her to excuse herself. Qingyin stood up and respectfully replied: "I made some clothes for Madam's unborn child. My hands are clumsy. I hope Madam won't dislike it." After saying that, she took the clothes from the little girl who followed. He took a neat little package and handed it to Jing Shu respectfully.

Jingshu took it personally and said politely, "Thank you, Miss Qingyin." Then she and Li Ling headed towards the main house.

Qingyin stood there, looking at Li Ling carefully holding Jingshu's back as she walked away, feeling really indescribable in her heart.

 Ever since she was given to Li Ling, she has not even said a word to Li Ling, not to mention serving him.

It wasn't that she was so cowardly that she couldn't get on the stage, but that the cold and solemn master didn't take her seriously at all. Occasionally, when she saw him in the yard and came up to say hello, the master had a cold face. The way you refuse people thousands of miles away.

Qingyin was brought up in the court since she was a child, and she is the best at observing people's emotions. Over the past year, she has understood clearly that this cold and solemn lord will never put a woman like her in his eyes. She is the only concubine in this courtyard. The mistress is pregnant and the master is unwilling to pay attention to her. What else can she expect.

During her stay at Zhen Guo Gongfu, Qingyin not only understood what happened in Qingfeng Yuan, but she also understood the entire situation of Zhen Guo Gongfu:

The family tradition of this palace is pure and honest, and the men are not fond of women. I heard that only the concubine in the eldest room was favored, but she died miserably. The other concubines were not favored either. They all behave with their tail between their legs.

Qingyin is not confused. Now that she understands that a woman like her has no future in this house, she no longer insists. Fortunately, the mistress of Qingfengyuan is a kind person. Although she is not favored, she has never been favored by others. With good treatment, everything is plentiful. Being able to please the mistress and having enough food and clothing is considered a good thing. Qingyin doesn't dare to ask for anything else.

It’s just that even though she doesn’t ask for anything extravagantly, and the mistress can tolerate her, others may not be able to avoid having concerns about her.

Li Ling helped Jingshu into the house, and then ordered Ziyun with a cold face to throw away the things Qingyin had just given.

Jingshu wondered: "Why throw away a good thing?"

Li Ling sneered and said: "These women grew up in the palace and are used to privacy methods. The things they send are bound to be clean. How dare they be used by our children?"

Jing Shu did not expect that Li Ling could be so meticulous, but she was not ignorant of people. Qingyin had behaved himself since he came to the house and never acted in an overstepping manner. Jing Shu was not so narrow-minded.

Jingshu advised: "She is a decent person. I heard that she was cruelly sold by her parents since she was a child. She is also a poor person. She is satisfied to live a peaceful life in the house, so why should you be prejudiced against her."

Li Ling said, "You must be on guard against others. You are pregnant now, so you cannot use the things she gave you. Just find an opportunity to send her away after a while."

Li Ling agreed to keep the palace concubine at the beginning, but he was impatient with others giving women to his wife while she was pregnant. He was just using the palace concubine to block her. Now that his wife is about to give birth, there is no use keeping him.

Jing Shu was kind-hearted and couldn't help but say: "This woman has some talents and is a responsible person. If she is sent away, she should find a safe place for her to live."

Li Ling said confidently: "Send her to Zhuangzi and ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life."

　　It is so cruel for a woman to be trapped in Zhuangzi for the rest of her life.

Jingshu replied: "This isn't a good place either. I'll decide after thinking about it."
