Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 270 Li Ling is jealous

Jiang Youchen bought a house in Beijing after his errands were settled. Not long after he took up his post in Beijing, he did not invite anyone else to the housewarming ceremony. He only invited Li Ling and his wife and Shen Xing.

In a place like Beijing where land is at a premium, an upstart like Jiang Youchen cannot afford to buy a house in a luxurious location. Although this house is a little out of the way, since it was built only five years ago, it is still considered a new house, with two entrances and two exits. The courtyard has a small garden at the back, which is quite spacious.

Jiang Youchen is not yet married, and there is no mistress in the house. He only has a few servants transferred from Chaozhou House to take care of him.

Jiang Youchen is a very measured person. Although he has temporarily lived in the Zhenguo Palace for several months, he sticks to his duty and never enters the inner courtyard to look for Jingshu. Therefore, since Jingshu became pregnant, this is their first time. meeting.

They are all close relatives, and the dinner was not formal. Jiang Youchen pointed to the dishes placed in front of Jingshu and said, "These are made by Sun Amu himself according to my cousin's taste. You can try them."

Sun Amu was Jiang Youchen's wet nurse. After Jiang Youchen took care of the house in Beijing, the old man was worried that Jiang Youchen would not be able to take good care of the servants in Beijing alone, so he insisted on following him.

Jing Shu and Jiang Youchen grew up together, and were naturally loved by Sun Amu when they were young. When she heard that Sun Amu was also in the house, she said to Jiang Youchen: "Since Amu is here, there is no one else today, why not Eminem, please come over and use it together. I haven’t seen anyone from our hometown for several years, and I’m really thinking about it.”

Jing Shu's words "our hometown" were indescribably comforting to Jiang Youchen's ears. A smile appeared on his face and he gently replied to Jing Shu: "You also know that Eminem is the most polite person." I'm afraid her old man won't want to do it."

Jingshu smiled and replied: "We are all members of our own family, so we don't need to adhere to those false etiquette. I will personally invite Eminem to come over."

With that said, Jingshu stood up and started to walk out.

Jiang Youchen also stood up, with a hint of apology on his face, and said to Li Ling and Shen Xing: "I'll be here as soon as I can, so I'll excuse you for now."

With that said, he caught up with Jing Shu in a few steps: "Amu lives in the backyard. You are not familiar with the roads here. I will take you there."

With that said, the two of them went out together.

 Li Ling glanced at the backs of the two people who were talking and laughing away. He stared at them closely, but his face couldn't help but become gloomy.

 “Brother-in-law, brother-in-law.”

Shen Xing called several times before Li Ling came back to his senses and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Xing glanced at Li Ling's face, which was gradually turning cold, and asked doubtfully, "Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you? You look so ugly."

Li Ling subconsciously touched his face and replied nonchalantly: "It's nothing."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but crane his neck and look outside, muttering: "I'm a little worried about your sister. Why hasn't she come back after so long?"

Shen Xing said in confusion: "Brother-in-law, my sister just went out, how could she come back so soon?"

Li Ling glanced sideways at Shen Xing: "Your sister is pregnant. I'm a little worried about her."

"So that's it." Shen Xing said with a smile: "With my cousin from the Jiang family by my side, if anything happens, my brother-in-law can rest assured."

Li Ling's face turned even darker when Shen Xing mentioned Jiang Youchen.

Although Shen Xing is young, he is a thoughtful person. He looked at Li Ling's appearance with cold eyes and thought about it as soon as he thought about it.

Although this brother-in-law is a cold and solemn person, he is really good to him. If it weren't for his relationship with his brother-in-law, how could he, a child of a low-ranking official family, be qualified to study in an official school? It is the red seal that his brother-in-law gives him every Chinese New Year. It's really Gold and silver are also huge sums of money.     As a human being, you must know how to be grateful.

No matter how good the Jiang family's cousin is, he is not as friendly as his own brother-in-law.

Shen Xing overexamined his brother-in-law's thoughts and immediately changed his words: "Hearing what my brother-in-law said, I am also a little worried about my sister. How about I go and take a look."

Jingshu went to Jiang Youchen's backyard. It was naturally hard for Li Ling to go there and look for him, but Shen Xing, a kid, didn't care.

After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Li Ling nodded hurriedly to him.

Shen Xing left the house and ran towards the backyard.

Li Ling waited alone in the house for a while as if on pins and needles, but Jingshu still didn't come back. He couldn't bear his temper, so he walked out of the house and stood on the porch with his neck stretched out to wait.

 Finally saw Jing Shu and Jiang Youchen holding an old woman on the left and right, walking around the parapet. Li Ling quickly turned around and returned to the house, sitting down on the chair again.

After Jingshu helped Sun Amu into the house, Li Ling stood up and greeted the old man with a smile on his face.

Jingshu smiled and said to Sun Amu: "Amu, this is my husband."

Sun Amu glanced at Li Ling, but his expression was indifferent, and he replied: "Didn't General Li accompany you to Chaozhou? I recognize him."

After a few people sat down, Sun Amu couldn't help but glance at Li Ling lightly, patted Jingshu's hand again and said: "I knew you were coming. Your cousin told me several days in advance that he wanted to do something. Here’s your favorite dish.”

As he said that, the old man picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the squirrel mandarin fish for Jingshu. He muttered: "This is the live fish your cousin caught a few days ago. It has been kept in the water, but it is fresh. You can try it." .”

Jingshu took a bite and said to Sun Amu with a smile on her face: "After all these years, Amu's craftsmanship is still so good. The taste has not changed at all from what I ate when I was a child."

Sun Amu looked deeply at Jiang Youchen who was standing aside, and then said to Jingshu: "You two were together all day long when you were young, and you even have the same appetite. Oh my, what a good pair of children. I didn’t expect it to turn out in the end.”

Jing Shu grew up in Chaozhou's ancestral home. In the eyes of everyone in Jiang Mansion, she and Jiang Youchen were a perfect match. In the end, such a good girl was married by someone else, but Jiang Youchen missed her. We can't forget that Grandma Sun felt regretful, and she couldn't help but feel resentful when she saw Li Ling.

The old man sighed deeply. Although he did not continue speaking, he unconsciously rolled his eyes at Li Ling.

"You're pregnant now. Eat more if you like." As he said that, Sun Amu put two more pieces on the plate in front of Jingshu.

"Shu'er has a severe reaction during pregnancy. I'm afraid she will feel uncomfortable if she eats too much."

With that said, Li Ling took out the fish that Sun Amu had placed in front of Jingshu and placed it in the Shenxing bowl beside him: "Xing'er is growing, so it's good to eat more fish."

Shen Xing looked at Li Ling somewhat flattered. Li Ling winked at him secretly. Shen Xing picked up the fish meat and put it in his mouth. He smiled and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law."

Li Ling couldn't hear the implication of Sun Amu's words. For a man as big as Li Ling, he shouldn't be as familiar with this old woman. But when he heard Sun Amu say that Jing Shu and Jiang Youchen had been together since they were children. When we were together every day, Li Ling's heart felt like it was soaked in a vinegar vat, and he couldn't help but get angry.
