Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 56 Anyone who dares to disobey Madam’s orders will be kicked out

 After a while, the two little girls came out carrying a set of thick quilts.

Ziyun took the quilt, folded it neatly and tied it with a cloth belt. Danzhu asked: "Sister, where are you going to send this quilt?"

Ziyun was busy with her hands and replied: "I will send it to my uncle later."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bilu waved her hands and said, "Sister, please don't ask me to send you off this time."

Ziyun gave her an angry look: "You can't go even if you want to go this time."

Bilu looked at Danzhu subconsciously and heard Ziyun continue: "We can't enter the important place of the military camp." Then, she called the two little girls and said: "Come on, follow me."

Dan Zhu Bilu carried the wrapped quilt and followed Ziyun to the front yard. Ziyun and the steward found out where Ling Xiao lived, so they knocked on the door with them.

Ling Xiao was once a young **** who served the eldest princess. Seeing his clever mind, the eldest princess assigned him to serve as an errand beside Li Ling. Today, Li Ling is not in the palace, so Ling Xiao naturally does not need to go to the study to serve him. He was about to lie down to sleep when he saw Ziyun was a little surprised.

 “Why did my sister call me?”

Ziyun smiled and said: "The prince has been busy with errands these past two days and has to stay in the camp at night. My wife was worried that he would catch a cold at night, so she ordered me to send a thick quilt. I'd trouble my father-in-law to make a trip and deliver it to the prince. .”

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Madam is really interested in our prince."

Ziyun smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer the question.

Ling Xiao took the quilt from Danzhu Bilu and said, "Young man, I will ride on horseback to deliver the quilt to the prince."

Ziyun smiled and said: "In this case, my father-in-law will be busy."

Ling Xiao hugged the quilt and walked out. He turned around and asked Ziyun: "Girl, madam, is there anything else you want me to say to the prince?"

Ziyun lowered her eyes, considered it, and said to him: "Just tell the prince that my wife hopes that he will finish his official duties and come back soon."

 “Okay!” Ling Xiao hugged the quilt and disappeared after a moment.

Perhaps she slept too much in the second half of the night. After settling her accounts, she saw that it was getting late, but Jingshu still didn't feel sleepy.

She put on her shawl and opened the door. There were scattered snowflakes outside, and there was already a thin layer on the ground.

Ziyun was about to go check the night when he saw Jingshu coming out and stepped forward and said, "It's cold at night. Miss, please go back to the house quickly."

Jingshu gathered her shawl and replied, "I'm not sleepy yet. I'll go with you to check around."

Ziyun brought the glazed lamp, and the master and servant left Qingfeng Garden.

From a distance, I saw a tall figure walking towards this side despite the wind and snow.

"It's my uncle!" Ziyun glanced at Jingshu and whispered happily.

Jingshu naturally recognized Li Ling and stopped.

 Li Ling walked closer, glanced at Jing Shu, lowered his eyes and asked, "It's so late, what are you doing?"

Jing Shu stood there silently, with no intention of talking to him.

Ziyun hurriedly replied: "Mother-in-laws who go out late at night are often lazy, drinking and playing cards. Madam, I want to go and check everywhere personally."

Li Ling nodded slightly and said nothing.

Jingshu and Ziyun continued towards the front yard. After walking for a while, Ziyun turned around and saw that Li Ling was still standing there. After a while, he actually followed them. Ziyun was secretly happy and whispered in Jingshu's ear: "My uncle is following behind."

Although Jingshu didn't know why he came back suddenly and why he followed them, she could tell that he was still angry with her.

Jingshu turned her head and glanced at Li Ling, who was following far behind. It was indeed what he said.

 He will stay away from her from now on.

When we arrived at the door of the second room, we heard the mother-in-law’s chattering voice coming from inside. If we listened carefully, it seemed that she was playing cards.

Jingshu stood in the corridor, Ziyun stepped forward and knocked on the door.

There were five or six women gathered in the side room. Charcoal was burning warmly in the stove. Several people were drinking and playing cards around the stove.

Several people saw Ziyun next to the mistress and looked at each other for a moment. The woman in charge of the door came forward and took Ziyun's hand and said with a smile on her face: "Good girl, it's cold today, let's get together to spend time together." Work hard, good girl, and you must never tell anyone."

Ziyun sneered and said, "I'm afraid I can't decide on this matter."

The mother-in-law did not see Jing Shu standing outside the door. Seeing Ziyun's expression of being indifferent, she said sarcastically: "It is a great blessing for a girl to work as a servant for the mistress, but we are all slaves." Yes, when anyone is in trouble or disaster, the girl can be sure that her mistress will protect her, and she will be able to live smoothly in this house from now on. Although I am a rough maid, I have stayed in this house for most of my life. Don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face. Don't say that the girl complained to the second lady, but to the old lady. To put it bluntly, the old lady couldn't bear to do anything to us old people who have worked hard in the house for most of our lives. ah."

These people rely on their old age to show off their old age, aren't they just bullying their young ladies and losing face? Ziyun was about to speak out against her when Jingshu, who was standing in the corridor, said leisurely: "Mommy, that's wrong!"

The woman didn’t know that her mistress was actually here, so she was so frightened that she hurriedly came out of the house and hurriedly apologized: "I am old and talking nonsense, please don't worry about it, madam."

The other mothers-in-law in the house were startled when they saw that their mistress had actually come to check the post in person. They all came out of the house with their heads shrunk and stood neatly on the porch.

Jingshu's eyes swept over the faces of these women one by one, and said calmly: "Since you are the old people in the house, you should naturally understand the rules. The so-called 'there is no rule without rules' even though you are the old people in the house, If you break the rules, I won’t condone it.”

Hearing this, several women hurriedly knelt down and begged: "We were just confused for a moment, please show your respect, madam."

Ziyun snorted and pointed at the woman on the ground: "There were three people on duty at these two gates, but now there are five." She pointed at the other two women and asked: "Where are you two from? of?"

The mother-in-law hesitated and said, "We are from Zhu Xuantang."

It's from Fourth Master's yard. No wonder he's so unruly and dares to leave his post without authorization and come here to gather people to play cards.

Jingshu looked at the crowd and said, "Since you have violated the rules, you will be fined one month's salary per person according to the rules."

Although she was distressed by being fined money, the mistress was still tolerant and did not use them to scare the monkeys. Just as a few of them were about to kowtow to thank them, Li Ling came over.

Although everyone in the house looked down upon the always cold and solemn Crown Prince, fortunately, he never interfered in the affairs of the inner house.

Unexpectedly, when Li Ling came up to him, he said: "The government has issued an order that prohibits eating, drinking and playing cards at night. If you knowingly break the rules, you will be fined a month's salary according to what the lady said. In addition, you don't have to stay in the house from now on. You will all go to the capital." Zhuangzi in the suburbs has been tricked."

A few people almost fainted after listening to Li Ling's words. They went to Zhuangzi to do menial work, how could it be better than in this glorious and wealthy Zhenguo Duke's mansion.

A few people looked at the mistress and wanted to plead for mercy, but they glanced at the prince's cold face as cold as ice, but they were too frightened to speak.

After hearing the news, Manager Fu rushed over. Li Ling met Manager Fu and said, "Tell me, if anyone disobeys Madam's order from now on, they will all be rushed to Zhuangzi."

Li Ling: Madam, I will support you for my husband.

Jing Shu: Get out of here, aren’t you trying to get angry with me?

Li Ling: Although I am angry with you, I will not allow others to bully you.
