Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 43 The little bit of guilt has disappeared.

Li Ling had been busy in the study until very late when she came back. There was still a candle burning in the hall. She was standing in the corridor, and the delicate figure of his little wife under the lamp just fell into his eyes.

 You don’t need to guess to know that I’m staying up late looking at those accounts again.

Li Lingsan stepped up the steps of the corridor in two steps, opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Li Ling come in, Jing Shu finally raised her head, looked at him again with a pair of "rabbit" eyes and said, "The prince is back."

Li Ling gave her an angry look and said with a cold face: "Go to bed."

It’s true that “only state officials are allowed to set fires, but the people are not allowed to light lamps.” You can stay up late and work, but I’m not allowed to work?

Although Jingshu was not convinced, she still put down the account book angrily, extinguished the candle, and followed him into the inner room.

 Instead of being picked up like a rabbit and thrown on the bed, it is better to know your own interests.

Li Ling saw that she had behaved this time, and his expression softened. He took off his robe and went to the bathroom. Jingshu had already taken a shower when she came back. She only took off the hairpin from her hair and went to bed.

 Li Ling came to the bed after washing up and saw that his young wife had already got into bed, with her hair spread over her round shoulders, and the hint of snow-white was faintly visible.

 He put out the lamp casually, got into bed and took her into his arms.

Before Jing Shu could react, he had already stepped forward.

 “It’s so late, you”

Before she could finish her words, a sharp breath hit her face, and his cool lips pressed against hers, blocking her mouth.

"You dared to kick me in the evening, do you think I just got over it like this?" As he moved, he whispered in her ear: "Tell me, should I take care of you tonight? "

I even thought in my mind: How about giving him a concubine? At least she would have someone to help her share the burden.

As soon as this idea came up, Jingshu even wondered if this guy had the ability to read minds.

 She knew he liked it when he called him that.

As long as she could arouse his pity, she didn't care so much.

—

 The stars are dotted, the moon is bright, inside the Chenxi Pavilion in Xiyuan.

The big strings are noisy like the rain, and the small ones are like whispers. The candlelight flickered, and under the lamp the beauty was still holding her pipa, half-hiding her face, and she was singing sweetly to express her true feelings.

Li Xian was leaning on the chair, with a satisfied look on his face, and he was looking intoxicated.

After finishing the song, Gong Ji Meiniang put down her pipa and walked slowly to Li Xian. Her voice was as gentle as an oriole's cry: "Mr. Lang, how do you play this song?"

Li Xian stretched out his hand, pulled her into his arms, hugged her and replied: "This song can only be heard in heaven, how many times can you hear it in the world. My beautiful lady is not only beautiful, but the sound of the piano is like the sound of nature, moving. The heart and spleen.”

Mei Niang raised her slender arms and hugged Li Xian's neck, and said angrily: "I know that your husband is an elegant man, but the eldest lady doesn't like me playing the piano and singing every day, saying that this way I will disturb your husband." If you have such a bad heart, your husband will not be able to do his job well." Li Xian heard her mention Xu Wanning, and the smile on his face froze.

 Xu Wanning was his first wife after all. Remembering that she shed tears when they argued this morning, he felt a little unhappy.

He looked at Mei Niang and said, "Ms. Xu is my wife, you must be respectful to her from now on, do you understand?"

Meiniang saw his expression changed and his tone was stern. Her eyes darkened and she broke away from Li Xian's arms.

Li Xian saw her displeasure, patted her back and comforted her: "I don't mean to blame you, but Mrs. Xu is my wife after all. If you two are unhappy, it will be very difficult for me to be caught in the middle."

After listening to Li Xian's words, Mei Niang raised her head, looked at Li Xian with sparkling eyes, and said softly: "I know that your husband treats me sincerely. Today, you and the eldest lady have a rift because of me. I feel really sorry in my heart and mind, in the final analysis, it’s all Mei Niang’s fault.”

As she spoke, she started crying.

Li Xian looked at the delicate appearance of the beauty, pear blossoms in the rain, and held her in his arms, saying distressedly: "Don't cry! I don't mean to blame you, and I don't blame you for what happened this morning. It was Xu's harsh treatment. You first.”

Hearing what Li Xian said, Mei Niang cried even more sadly. She slipped out of Li Xian's arms again, knelt at his feet, and said softly: "Mr. Lang, why don't you send me away? Judging from the temperament of the eldest lady, there is no way she can tolerate a concubine."

"She dares!" Li Xian helped up the delicate beauty who was lying on the ground, with anger on his face: "I do it because of the years of friendship between Zhenguo Gongfu and Yongyi Houfu, and because she gave birth to a child for me. For the sake of women, I have to be more tolerant to her. If she dares not tolerate you, then don’t blame me for not being able to tolerate such a jealous woman."

Mei Niang raised her eyes filled with tears and quickly covered Li Xian's mouth: "Mr. Lang, please don't have such thoughts. If you divorce my wife because of me, I will be blamed for your death." ”

 After saying that, she buried herself in Li Xian's arms and cried sadly.

Li Xian's innocent heart as a scholar was really crushed to pieces by the little beauty crying and making trouble like this!

He hugged the delicate beauty tightly and said, "Don't worry, since I have accepted you, I will protect you for the rest of your life and will never allow others to bully you."

Meiniang then gradually stopped crying, tried her tears with a brocade handkerchief, and said with a choked voice, "Mr. Lang is serious about what he said."

Li Xian pulled her over and said solemnly: "A gentleman's words are hard to catch up with."

The beautiful lady finally broke through her tears and smiled. She came softly close to Li Xian's arms, rubbed her forehead against Li Xian's chest, and said softly: "Then I will be tying this life to my husband."

The mandarin duck was turned inside out in red waves, and the charming and silky look of the little girl underneath him really made Li Xian unable to stop.

He thought to himself that his life as a man all these years had been in vain.

As for his wife, he has long forgotten it at this moment. The little guilt he felt this morning for causing his wife's sadness by loving his concubine disappeared because of the happiness at this moment.
