Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 592 Comparison

 Other descendants have already done a good job and don’t need to be worried about anymore.

During the day, Li Ling had personally promised that he would treat the Murong family in Jiangdong well and cultivate Li Xiang. With Li Ling here, there was no need to worry about the future of his family and the government.

 The only thing that makes the old man regretful is that his grandson and his wife are not in harmony.

How could the old lady, such a refined person, see the subtleties of her grandson and granddaughter-in-law?

 They are the future heads of the government. I wonder if the two of them can make it to the end?

 If this is the only regret the old lady has, it is this.

On the second day, Li Ling, who had been on the throne for six years, announced for the first time that he would resign from the court for three days.

 In the emperor's heart, the palace that raised him was his home, and the old lady educated him. Li Ling was very sad about the old man's death.

The family stayed in front of the funeral, not crying loudly, but the tears in their eyes seemed to be endless. The old lady was transparent and shrewd, and was generous and kind to the younger generation. Everyone in the house was cared for by her. , now that she is gone, everyone is really sad.

At night, when the sisters-in-law were taking a nap in the side hall, Xu Wanning pulled Jingshu and murmured sadly: "Do you still remember that your eldest brother and I almost divorced because of a singer? Oh! That mother-in-law of mine. My mother never understood it clearly, and my uncle was also confused at that time. If my grandmother hadn’t supported me, I would have been eating fast in the temple right now.”

Jingshu echoed her and said: "Grandma naturally loves you as my eldest daughter-in-law. I still remember that you beat your eldest brother because of this. Grandma not only didn't blame you, but also scolded your eldest brother severely."

Pingyang was surprised: "Is there such a thing?"

Xu Wanning wiped away her tears and glared at Jingshu: "Why can't you remember something good?"

Jingshu burst into tears and smiled: "Didn't you mention this yourself first?"

Pingyang murmured: "It seems to be true." Then he gave Xu Wanning a thumbs up: "Sister-in-law, it looks like grandma really loves you."

"Grandma naturally loves me." Then he looked at Jing Shu: "Actually, I think among us daughters-in-law, Shu'er is the one who has the most bad temper towards grandma."

Since she became the queen, the nickname "Shu'er" has rarely been evoked by anyone. When Jing Shu heard Xu Wanning talking about it, she couldn't help but think of the old lady who used to call her "Shu'er" like this. After three months, the old lady was relieved to hand over the power of running the house to her. The old lady loved her, trusted her and supported her.

Thinking of these, my heart still feels warm, and tears can’t stop flowing down.

 Xu Wanning sighed and looked at Pingyang again: "It's just that when Grandma Xu said that when my grandmother was leaving, no one mentioned it again, and she only mentioned Pingyang."

How come Pingyang doesn’t know this?

She couldn't help crying, and murmured with a choked sob: "I understand my grandmother's painstaking efforts."

Xu Wanning said with emotion: "When a hundred years from now, I can be as sincerely remembered as my grandmother, I will be satisfied."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Qing, who had been silent at the side, said angrily: "What are you talking about, mother-in-law?"

 Xu Wanning quickly pulled her daughter-in-law and said, "Mom just said it casually."

 When the old lady passed away, she was nearly eighty years old. She had many children and grandchildren, and even her great-grandchildren were married. She was respected by everyone during her lifetime, and was missed by everyone after her death.

 This life is complete.

In Xiyuan, Li Xian's biological mother Guo Shi has been on the sickbed for several years. She heard the funeral music in a daze. She opened her cloudy eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Am I in the underworld?"

Mr. Guo has been in a coma for more than half a year, and has already had difficulty eating. She only relies on the precious ginseng soup sent by Xu Wanning's order every day.

The serving nun was startled when she heard the sound and hurriedly walked to the bed: "Madam, are you awake again?"

Guo's cloudy eyes moved slightly, and after a long pause, she finally understood: "I'm not dead yet?" Nanny got Xu Wanning's instructions and money to take good care of her. Although she was impatient with the only one left. He took a long breath but was like a living dead who refused to die, but for the sake of money, he had to be patient.

"What did your wife say? Now that the eldest son is the chief minister of the cabinet, and the eldest son has also become an official, you are enjoying the most happiness. How could you die?"

When Mrs. Guo heard this, she coughed violently twice, gasped and grabbed her grandma's hand and asked, "Since my son has become a high official, why hasn't he divorced his wife?"

here we go again!

Mammy then said perfunctorily according to Xu Wanning's instructions: "It's going to be soon, it's going to be soon, just take care of it."

Mrs. Guo breathed out and said intermittently: "If my son does not divorce his wife for a day, I will not be able to swallow this breath."

Your daughter-in-law provided the ginseng you were dying for!

Although Mammy laughed at Guo's confusion, she also knew her temper, and seeing that she didn't have many days left to live, she didn't care about her and just went along with it.

“Don’t worry, I will tell you when the uncle divorces his wife.”

Ms. Guo closed her eyes again. Just as she was about to become confused again, she vaguely heard the sound of mourning music again, so she opened her eyes again and asked, "Am I really not dead?"

Mammy was helpless and replied: "Madam, you are confused again. You are not dead, you are living well."

Guo said: "Listen, what is this sound?"

Only then did grandma wake up and sighed: "It's the old lady who has gone."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shed tears.

Mr. Guo blinked his cloudy eyes, and it took him a while to understand. He suddenly asked: "Then the old witch is dead?"

Her voice was originally hoarse, but when she said these words, it became very high-pitched, which sounded creepy.

“Madam, you scared me to death.” Grandma was so frightened that she held her chest and said, “Madam, I didn’t lie to you, it’s the old lady who has gone.”

Mr. Guo paused, laughed twice, and closed his eyes completely.

Although this foolish woman married into a high family and gave birth to a noble son, her heart was tightly bound by narrowness and she could never be happy in her life.

 When the news reached the mourning hall in the front yard, everyone was just slightly stunned, and then they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people even thought in their hearts: This old woman should have died long ago, yet she managed to survive for so long.

Xu Wanning was not surprised that Mrs. Guo had been on the sickbed for a long time, but in front of everyone, as the only daughter-in-law of the deceased, she always felt that she should show sadness and cry loudly, but she opened her mouth, but there were no tears.

Xu Wanning turned her head and looked at Jingshu and Pingyang. The two of them were still crying because they missed the old lady. But now they suddenly heard the bad news about Guo, their tears disappeared.

Pingyang looked at Xu Wanning and sighed slightly: "I can't cry, otherwise, forget it."

 In this world, filial piety comes first, and it is considered a great treason if one's parents die without mourning.

Xu Wanning wiped her eyes vigorously, but still couldn't squeeze out tears. She raised her eyes and looked at Li Xian aside, and saw that her husband was not crying either.

　　That’s it.
