Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 100 Mei Niang doesn’t want to be a foreign wife

Some families are happy and some are sad. Since Li Ling married his lovely wife, he is becoming more and more happy every day. However, Li Xian's back house was restless all day long, which made him very upset.

The first month of the new year is coming soon. He promised Xu Wanning that he would move Mei Niang out of the town government palace as soon as the first month of the new year comes. He has already bought a new house for Mei Niang in the city, but he still can't bring himself to talk to his concubine.

Mei Niang didn't leave for a day, and Xu Wanning refused to let him go. The long-term uneasiness in the back house made Li Xian physically and mentally exhausted.

As the moon set and the night fell, Li Xian came to Chenxi Pavilion again with a lot of worries.

Mei Niang was doing needlework in the Nuan Pavilion. When she saw Li Xian push the door in, she put down her work and didn't even bother to put on her shoes. Then she threw herself into Li Xian's arms happily and said in a gentle voice like an oriole: "Mr. Lang, you are so good. The sun has not come yet, Mei Niang thought you had forgotten me."

Li Xian patted her back and said with a sneer: "How could I forget you? It's just that there are many social events in the first month, so I can't get away from it these days."

As he said that, he caught a glimpse of Mei Niang's bare feet, and quickly bent down to pick him up, saying angrily: "It's so cold on the ground, why don't you wear shoes?"

Mei Niang's eyes sparkled with a smile: "I was so happy when I saw your husband coming that I didn't even care."

Li Xian scolded the beauty in his arms: "You, you, you are always like a child, needing people to worry about everything."

Li Xian carried Mei Niang to the bed and just put her down when Mei Niang called out "Langjun, Langjun" with a half-red face and started to unbutton his clothes.

Li Xian held her hand, took a deep breath, and said, "I have something to discuss with you today."

 He was determined to have a showdown with Mei Niang this time. If he was confusedly taken off his clothes by her again, he would have to do the same as the previous times.

He couldn't bear to say it out loud if he asked her to move out.

Mei Niang stopped her hand, looked at Li Xian with charming eyes, and said angrily: "Mr. Lang is so serious about his work. What on earth is going on?"

Li Xian stretched out his hand to straighten Mei Niang's peach red jacket, and sat on a chair beside him. He was silent for a while, then lowered his head and said with difficulty: "I bought it for you outside the house. A new house, you can move there in a few days."

After hearing what Li Xian said, Mei Niang was shocked for a moment, and then her big eyes filled with tears.

Li Xian raised his head, looked at Mei Niang and advised, "That house is in Shui'er Hutong, Chang'an Street. It's an excellent location. The house is also spacious. All the furnishings were newly purchased by me." ,you"

Before Li Xian could finish his persuasion, Mei Niang wiped away her tears, twisted her body and got off the ground, and started to walk out in a huff with bare feet.

Li Xian quickly stood up and stopped him, frowning and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Mei Niang sobbed and cried: "Since the husband has abandoned me, I am not shameless. I don't need the house you bought for me. I will leave you right now."

Li Xian hugged her: "It's freezing and snowing, where can you go?"

Mei Niang broke away and said: "Since you dislike me, even if you die, I will die outside."

Li Xian picked up the struggling woman and put her on the bed. He held her cold feet and explained with a sigh: "How can I dislike you? Don't think so wildly."

Meiniang twitched and said, "My husband promised me that he would protect me for the rest of his life. Why did he turn his back on me in the blink of an eye?"

She hugged Li Ling, pressed her face against him, and cried until she died: "I don't believe that Mr. Lang is such a cruel person."

Li Xian hugged Mei Niang and coaxed her: "Don't worry, I won't abandon you."

He looked at the crying person in his arms, sighed and explained: "But you also know the situation in Xiyuan now. The Xu family and I have been quarreling for more than half a year. Now I have nominated the cabinet, and there is a quarrel in the back house. This will be bad for my reputation."

He caressed Mei Niang's back and coaxed: "She is ignorant, but you are understanding. For my sake, you can move out for a few days. I promise you, when I join the cabinet, Mrs. Xu will also be relieved." After that, I will take you back." Meiniang shook her head and cried, "I won't go out, I can't bear to leave my husband."

Li Xian replied: "I will go over to see you when I have time. Please be obedient."

Meiniang still refused. One moment she wanted to hang herself, another moment she was making a fuss and wanted to hit the wall, and the next moment she hugged Li Xian and cried until she died.

Li Xian, who had two heads and two heads, was sweating all over his forehead because of her torment. Seeing his concubine looking so sad, he couldn't help but soften his heart again.

The two of them were having a quarrel here. The person who was talking outside came in and said to Li Xian: "Sir, the Crown Prince is going out tomorrow. He is waiting for you in the study. He said he has something to discuss with you."

 The second brother has been away for a few months. Now is a critical period in his career. Li Xian also has many things waiting to be discussed with his younger brother.

 Women are important, and political affairs are even more important.

He looked at Mei Niang and said, "I have something to do. I'll go out first. Don't make any more trouble. We'll talk about this later."

That Mei Niang is not a showless person. She was just making trouble for Li Xian to see. Seeing that Li Xian was busy, she didn't dare to make any more nonsense.

 She knew that Li Xian was a man who focused on official career, and she was afraid that she would really annoy him.

Meiniang gradually stopped crying and just lay down on the bed with a handkerchief wiping her tears.

Li Xian saw that she was finally no longer looking for life and death. He used his sleeves to test the hot sweat on his forehead, then turned and walked out. Before leaving, he especially worriedly told Mei Niang's servant Xiao Hong: "You must take good care of your aunt. Understand?"

Xiao Hong quickly replied: "Don't worry, uncle."

Li Xian then went out.

After Li Xian left, Mei Niang stopped hanging herself, bumped against the wall, and stopped crying. She leaned on the bedside blankly and began to think about things.

Her maid, Xiaohong, brought a bowl of hot tea over to her. After crying for a while, Mei Niang was dry and tongue-tied. She took the tea and drank it with her neck raised.

Xiao Hong knew that this young aunt was a master with ideas. She took the teacup handed over by Mei Niang and asked with concern: "Aunt, I want to move you out of the house. What are your plans in the future?"

Although this Mei Niang is a lowly person and is not a serious master, there is a difference between raising her in the house and raising her outside.

In the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, she is Li Xian's aunt. Although the children she will give birth to will be concubines, according to the genealogy, she will also be the legitimate master of the mansion. If she moved outside, she would become a foreigner. She would have no name or status, and the children she gave birth to would not be recognized. She would be what people call a "bastard".

 She has been deeply favored by Li Xian since she entered the Zhenguo Palace. How could she be willing to do this?

Meiniang tried the corner of her mouth with her handkerchief: "Don't I know the uncle's temper? Why does he want me to leave the house?"

She snorted coldly: "It's Mr. Xu who sees me as a thorn in my side."

Mei Niang's eyes narrowed slightly: "Since she doesn't want to make things easier for me, don't blame me for being cruel. Since I can make her lose the uncle's heart, I must have the ability to make her his wife."

“Xu, let’s wait and see!”
