MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 8 She won't wrong herself anymore

 Chapter 8 She will not wrong herself anymore

After coming out of Anxi Hall, Jingshu did not return to Qingfeng Garden. She asked Ziyun to take back the satin that the old lady had given her, and went to Xiyuan herself.

There are no separate houses for the first and second bedrooms. Their first bedroom lives in the East Garden and their second bedroom lives in the West Garden. There is only a long corridor between them.

Jingshu walked all the way to Bitangju, where Xu Wanning lived in Xiyuan, and the housekeeper went in to pass the news. After a moment, Xu Wanning came out in person and welcomed Jing Shu in.

 The two of them entered the upper room while exchanging pleasantries.

Xu Wanning has a son and a daughter. The elder brother Kun has just turned three years old, and the younger daughter Zhuang is not yet one year old.

 The wet nurse is coaxing Sister Zhuang's son to play on the couch. The little baby was so cute that Yuxue was born. Jing Shu stood in front of the couch and stretched out her arms to tease her and said, "Come to Auntie and let Auntie give her a hug."

As expected, the little guy crawled up to Jingshu, grabbed her clothes, stood up unsteadily, and threw himself into her arms.

Jingshu picked up the little baby and praised: "This child is so cute."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "She's looking at the bright clothes you wear."

Jingshu kissed Sister Zhuang’s round face and said with a smile, “You know beauty at such a young age?”

Jingshu hugged Sister Zhuang reluctantly for a while, and then handed her over to the wet nurse when Sister Zhuang became sleepy. The wet nurse took her sister to the Cuddle House for a nap.

Xu Wanning joked: "If you like children so much, hurry up and have one."

She really wants to have a baby, but people are making trouble to separate from her.

Although Jingshu felt a little awkward in her heart, she didn't show it at all on her face. She smiled and said, "How could I be so lucky to have a sister-in-law? She only entered the family a few years ago, and she already has a son and a daughter."

As he said that, Jingshu asked, "Why haven't you seen Brother Kun?"

Xu Wanning put down the tea cup, pouted in the direction of the second wife Guo's house, and sighed: "My mother-in-law took her to Songletang."

 Mr. Guo is Li Xian's biological mother. Although she is the mother of the second landlord, she is acrimonious and harsh, so there has never been harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Although she had little contact with the various houses in the Zhenguo Palace in her previous life, she still heard about the rift between their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Xu Wanning said: "To be honest, I envy you the most among the women in the family."

“My sister-in-law comes from a well-known family and has sons and daughters. How can she be better than me? I have nothing to envy you.”

 “It’s so peaceful without my mother-in-law here.” Xu Wanning said quickly.

No matter how bad Xu Wanning is with the Guo family, they are still mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Jingshu can't help but scold her mother-in-law. She advised: "Auntie is just a son like the eldest brother. If you don't feel sorry for her, who else can you love? She just has a stronger temper. You Just don’t take everything personally.”

Xu Wanning said resentfully: "I don't care that she loves me. I hope she has more sons so that she won't have to mess with us all the time."

“Sister-in-law is a thoughtful person, why bother worrying so much with your aunt? In the end, it’s not you who will suffer the loss?”

This is a very thoughtful thing to say.

No matter how strong Xu Wanning is, she can't get out of her mother-in-law's hands. No matter how free and easy she is, if her mother-in-law acts like a monster, her life will be miserable.

"I'm already respectful enough to her, but she..." Xu Wanning choked up and couldn't continue.

Jingshu patted her hand and comforted her: "Don't be like this. No one's life is all piecemeal. Sister-in-law, please don't take it seriously, or you may get angry and ruin your body."

Xu Wanning sniffed and complained: "It would be fine if it was someone else, but she wants to have Brother Kun's idea."

"A few days ago, she found me and my father-in-law. She cried a lot and said that she dreamed about her father-in-law. Instead of living alone in this world, she might as well go with him. Huh! It seems like we are so right for each other. She seemed unfilial. Everyone in the capital didn't know that the uncle of Zhenguo Palace was a well-known filial son. The uncle was so helpless that she cried, so he said he would take brother Kun over and accompany his grandmother to relieve his boredom. "

Xu Wanning tried her tears with her handkerchief, and said angrily: "I don't know about her yet, but I have long wanted to keep brother Kun by my side. But our uncle is a foolish and filial man, and he doesn't care about us ladies, so he just agreed. .”

This Guo family is indeed difficult to deal with. Jingshu comforted him and said, "Auntie may take him back for a few days and then he may be sent back. Just go over and check on him every day and let the wet nurse take good care of him."

“You didn’t know my mother-in-law when you first came in. She’s very tricky, and she doesn’t like me as my daughter-in-law. Why did she have to carry Brother Kun over? Isn’t it just to make me unhappy?”

"No, I brought brother Kun's favorite food to see him this morning, but the nanny next to her made various excuses to stop me. They said they wouldn't let me in. You said I can't force my way in, right? But our uncle not only refused to let me make the decision, but also asked me to calm down, saying that there is nothing wrong with raising him by his mother's side."

"If she were a sensible person like my grandmother, I wouldn't say anything if I were raised by her side. What do you think my son would be like with a temperament like hers?" Xu Wanning choked and cried as she spoke.

With Guo's temperament, Brother Kun is really not suitable to be kept by her side.

Even though the uncle is her son, he is still considered a weapon. He was the top student in high school and was born in the Zhenguo government, so he was highly regarded by the emperor. Now he has become the second-rank minister of household affairs. But the reason why he became a talented person was because of the late Second Old Master's personal training, and it had nothing to do with her, the Guo family.

At present, Mr. Guo relies on his old age and stubbornness to keep his grandson by his side to educate him, and he does not blame Xu Wanning for being worried.

 Isn’t this delaying the child’s future?

Jing Shu thought for a moment, smiled slightly, and said slowly: "Da Lang was still young, and it was a time for naughty. The second uncle left early, and the second aunt was not in good health. She insisted on taking Da Lang with her, just in case. I’m exhausted from the kids.”

She paused and said meaningfully: "Grandma, I'm afraid she's going to feel bad again."

Xu Wanning said disdainfully: "It's too late for my grandmother to hate her. How could it be so?" Halfway through, she looked up at Jing Shu: "Huh? What do you mean?"

Jingshu quickly picked up the tea cup and sipped the tea: "It's nothing, sister-in-law, this tea is good."

Xu Wanning rolled her eyes and smiled through tears: "Look at me, I am so angry that my mother-in-law and uncle are so angry." She looked at Jing Shu gratefully and said angrily: "Fortunately, you understand."

Jingshu put down the tea cup and said, "Don't be impatient yet. We'll talk about it in a few days, so as not to be blamed."

"I know." Xu Wanning gave Jingshu a look that said, "Don't worry, I'm measured."

The two of them quietly smiled knowingly.

 It was already noon when she returned to Qingfeng Garden. Jingshu wanted to take a nap as usual, but unexpectedly, she slept until the second half of the day.

Hearing her get up, Ziyun came in and served her, saying, "My uncle just ordered someone to come back to send a message, saying that he had a party in the evening and would not be back for dinner."

Jingshu replied: "I understand."

Ziyun asked: "What do you want to eat at night? I'll order the kitchen to make two kinds of food."

 According to the rules of the house, the main dinner consists of eight dishes: four meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, and two cold dishes.

From Ziyun's tone, since Li Ling is not coming back tonight, it would be easier for her to prepare the dishes according to the portions.

Why! I don’t blame Ziyun for this.

Ever since she married Li Ling, she has been treating him as the main one. Even her personal maid has become accustomed to him.

“We will still prepare the dishes for dinner as usual, and let the kitchen make two extra desserts.”

 She really can't eat so much by herself. But the Duke of Tangtang's Mansion would never be destitute just because she asked for two more dishes.

If Li Ling didn't come back to eat, she wouldn't make do with it and wronged herself.

"Oh, okay, slave, go tell the kitchen now." Ziyun listened to the master's instructions, agreed, left the house, and went to the kitchen.

But he was muttering in his heart: The young lady is really different these days from when she first married into the town government. She even has more ideas than when she was in the boudoir.

 But there is nothing wrong with this.

Ziyun thought about it, and his steps became brisk unconsciously.
