Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Chapter 610 True Intention

Everyone had some fun and ordered the waiters to stop the ship. The palace people carefully helped the noble ladies off the ship. Li Kun and Dong Qing walked at the end. Dong Qing walked to the side of the ship. Li Kun reached out and carefully helped her out of the ship.

Li Kun has always been considerate to her since they got married, but Dong Qing could still feel her husband's emotional changes. She couldn't ask in front of everyone. Dong Qing didn't ask until she got home.

"I saw that you seemed to be worried when you were on the boat today. What happened?"

Li Kun looked at his wife and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

His tone was calm, but Dong Qing could hear the displeasure he brought out when he said this.

Dong Qing was stunned when she heard this. She looked back at her husband and said, "I don't know what you are referring to."

Li Kun smiled faintly. He was a noble man, even though he was angry, he was also reserved. Li Kun glanced at his wife and replied: "When you know what I mean, tell me again."

 After saying that, he left his ignorant wife behind and turned around and left the house.

Since Dong Qing married into the palace, Li Kun has treated her very favorably and has never had any quarrel with her. Seeing him behave like this today made Dong Qing confused for a moment.

She sat in the room alone and thought for a long time. It was not until dinner time that the servants came in to ask for instructions to prepare the meal. Dong Qing came back to her senses. She asked, "Do you know where the eldest son has gone?"

Her personal maid replied: "The eldest son seems to be in the study." She then tried to ask: "I didn't seem to be happy when I saw the eldest son going out in the middle of the night, but is there anything wrong?"

Although Li Kun was a military general, he had a calm and gentle temperament, and he was very protective of his wife, so the servants were quite puzzled when they suddenly saw that he was in a bad mood.

Dong Qing frowned and replied: "I don't know what happened to him today." She told the little girl: "Go to the study to invite the eldest son back for dinner."

The little girl took the order and left. After a while, the servants put the food on the table, and Dong Qing sat in front of the dinner table and waited for his return.

 The family is still in mourning and abstaining from meat and fish, so all three meals a day that can be put on the table are vegetarian.

Dongqing is not a person who is greedy for food, but now when she glanced at the vegetarian food on the table, she suddenly remembered the preserved meat that her husband had hidden in the inner room.

He was always so considerate and worried that she would not be able to eat well, so he would quietly bring meat from outside every now and then to satisfy her craving. She had told him many times, but he remained the same.

Thinking about this, Dong Qing couldn't help but have a happy smile on her face.

After a while, she heard footsteps outside. Dong Qing quickly stood up and went out to greet him, only to see that the little girl she had sent to find Li Kun had returned alone.

"Where is the eldest son?" Dong Qing asked with a disappointed look on his face.

The little girl entered the house and replied dully: "The eldest son said she won't come back for dinner today."

　　Except for necessary social activities, Li Kun always dines with her on weekdays. Dong Qing asked hurriedly: "But is he going out? Or is there a visitor from the house?"

The little girl replied: "The eldest son didn't say anything."

This little girl's name is Shishu, and she is a personal maid she brought from her parents' home. Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Dong Qing hurriedly left the house with all the servants, and asked her hurriedly: "What else did the eldest master say? ? Please tell me quickly."

The little girl then let go and replied: "The eldest son seems to be very unhappy. I went to invite him back for dinner, but he just couldn't say it anymore, and he said:"

Dong Qing saw that the servant was hesitating and asked, "What else did he say?" The servant replied: "The eldest son also said that he will not be back for the next few days and will sleep in the study."

They have been married for less than a year and have always been harmonious. Dong Qing can't understand why her husband is acting like this suddenly.

She nodded slowly and murmured: "I understand."

She ate dinner alone without knowing the taste, but her mind kept thinking about her and Li Kun.

 When it got dark, Li Kun had not returned.

The servants in the house began to lose their composure. This house was full of her people. First, her personal maid came to persuade her to ask her husband to come back.

 Dong Qing did not move in the end. After ordering someone to wash her, she left the servant girl and prepared to sleep alone.

The Duke of Zhenguo's mansion is one of the most prestigious in Beijing. As the eldest son and grandson of the Duke, Li Kun is a good match that many ladies from famous families dream of. But these are not the most important things to her. She can write poems at the age of three, and she can write poems at the age of seven. For a woman like her who was able to write and was able to enter the palace as a female official because of her talent and fame in the capital, these powerful and wealthy people were just like passing smoke in her eyes. What she really wanted was respect and admiration.

Now that Li Kun is neglecting her for no reason, it is a kind of humiliation for Dong Qing.

 A woman like her would never bend her back to beg for mercy from a man.

Dong Qing faced the rhombus mirror and slowly combed her hair away, one at a time, one at a time, she combed it very slowly. Although she had some thoughts in her heart, she still couldn't let go of it in her mind.

She simply dropped the comb and opened the drawer under the dowry. The drawer had several layers. The top ones were filled with jewelry and the like. The lower layers were stuffed full of small items such as meat jerky by her husband. Snacks.

Every night in the dead of night, after she had dressed and washed, he would quietly open the drawer and feed her these snacks.

He always said the same thing: "Look at how thin you are. How can you do it if you don't eat some meat every day?"

Thinking about this, Dong Qing's melancholy heart suddenly brightened up. She closed the drawer and didn't even bother to put on her coat, so she opened the door and ran into the night.

Dong Qing ran out of the courtyard gate. Seeing this, the woman guarding the gate hurriedly chased after her and asked, "Young madam, what are you going to do?"

Dong Qing ignored him and ran straight outside. She completely ignored the strange looks from the passing servants in the inner courtyard. She only wore a thin middle coat and ran out of Li Kun's study with her hair disheveled. .

The lights were on in the study. When the girl guarding the door saw Dong Qing, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Young madam, are you looking for the young master?"

Dong Qing stopped. She was panting slightly because she was running too fast. She stroked her chest and asked, "Is the eldest son in there?"

"The eldest son is here." The little girl's voice was clear and she hurriedly replied: "Young lady, please wait a moment and allow me to go in and report back." After saying that, the little girl raised her feet and walked towards the study.

 Ladies from famous families pay attention to their dignified manners. For someone like Dong Qing, she has never run so crazily in her entire life.

At this moment, she stood on the ground and gasped for a long time, but her breath was still disordered, but she couldn't care about it. She stared at the door of the study room, and the only thing in her heart was for her husband Li Kun to walk out of that door quickly. meet her.
