MTL - Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress-Chapter 702 [Verse] I only hope that your heart will be like mine (21)
Li Kun fell silent. After a while, he added, "She has no relatives here anymore. She wants to go back to Beijing with us."
Dong Qing asked: "Did you agree?"
Li Kun nodded and replied: "I agree."
After Dong Qing heard Li Kun's words, she looked at her husband for a while, and then said, "You clearly promised me not to take her with you, why did you change your mind?"
Li Kun sighed and said, "I really have no intention of taking her back to Beijing. Wasn't this forced by her?"
Dong Qing replied with a dull face: "As you know, I don't like her. If she follows her to Beijing, wouldn't I have to get along with her every day?"
Li Kun sighed slightly and replied: "I know you don't like getting along with her, but I can't help it. She is threatening her with death and insists on following me back to Beijing."
After saying that, he persuaded his wife in a gentle tone: "Don't worry, I have absolutely no other intentions for her. Even when I get to the capital, I will find a suitable home for her as soon as possible. After she gets married, you don't have to I saw her every day. It turned out that she kept saying she wanted to marry me, but now that I firmly disagreed, she stopped mentioning it and only asked me to take her to the capital. Perhaps she was afraid that she would be here. I am alone and helpless, so I made such a request."
“She is kind to me, but I really can’t bear to see her die.”
He raised his hand and took his wife's hand, with a hint of pleading in his voice: "Madam, I hope you can understand me."
Dong Qing calmly withdrew the hand held by Li Kun. She smiled bitterly and replied: "It's not that I don't understand you, but that Qingluo is too greedy. What she wants is my husband. How do you want me to be considerate?"
When Li Kun saw his wife angry, he panicked and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Qingqing, don't you know who I am? Not to mention the love between you and me, I, Li Kun, have never married such a lovely wife. I won't take a concubine either. Although she has that intention towards me, as long as I am determined, she will give up sooner or later. In short, don't worry, I will never take her in."
"You also know that I, a man from the Li family, rarely take concubines. My uncle is still an emperor, so he only guards my second aunt."
Because he was anxious, Li Kun did not hesitate to use the Li family tradition to clarify his feelings with his wife.
Dong Qing smiled and replied: "Although the saint is raised in the Li family, he is from the Zhao family. Besides, how many good men are there in this world who can be as infatuated and decisive as your majesty?"
What men dislike most is when their women say that they are inferior to others, even if the person being compared is an unattainable person. In short, they all think that they should be the most supreme in their wives' hearts, and that their wives should admire them.
Li Kun frowned after hearing what his wife said: "So, you still don't believe me?"
"Husband and wife are one, I originally thought that you could understand me." He said with grievance.
Dong Qing glanced at her husband. She suppressed the resentment in her heart and slowly reasoned with him: "In the eyes of men, a wife can be gentle and virtuous, always considerate of them, and even be nice to them without being jealous. Such This is the expression of a wife’s love and respect for her husband.”
“I didn’t think so.” Li Kun hurriedly defended himself before Dong Qing finished speaking.
Dong Qing ignored her husband and continued: "So, in this world, what is pursued is to marry a virtuous wife. Such a wife is generous and tolerant. Even if her husband hugs her, she will not be sour or jealous, or even Even if the husband doesn't say anything, a good wife can even take the initiative to find a beautiful woman for her husband and send it to her husband's bed with her own hands, just so that her husband can feel comfortable and happy." Dong Qing smiled bitterly, looked at Li Kun and said, "But Li Kun, Let me tell you plainly, I am not such a good wife. I cannot bear to share you with another woman."
After a pause, she continued: "I have been honest with you about my thoughts when I was a child. When I was a female official in the palace, the queen once had the idea of marrying me to the prince. I was like this at that time. Like most women in this world, they want to be a good wife. I thought that if I married the current prince, I would do my best, I would help him, and for the sake of the prosperity of the royal family, I would choose him for him. Concubine, I will also treat the children that women gave birth to as my own, teach them and raise them without reservation."
She raised her eyes to look at her husband and said slowly: "But since I married you, I no longer have this idea. I want to have you alone. I can't bear the thought of you having another woman next to you. The thought of you being intimate with others , my heart is simply broken. Even if another woman looks at you one more time, I feel uncomfortable. I know that I am not a good wife and not generous enough, but I understand my heart. I fell in love with someone, so that’s why.”
Li Kun hugged his wife into his arms and murmured: "I understand."
He raised his hand and stroked his wife's beautiful face, and promised: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let down your affection."
Dong Qing raised her eyes to look at her husband and said directly: "That Qingluo, I don't want to stay under the same roof with her. We will return to Beijing in ten days and a half, and I don't want her to go with us. She is right I will repay your kindness, and I can agree to anything she wants besides being your concubine."
Li Kun nodded and said: "This is her hometown, and she should stay here."
As he spoke, he added: "In a moment, I will order someone to tell her that I cannot take her back to Beijing."
Li Kun was about to call someone. After thinking about it, he asked his wife, "Would it be better for me to tell her personally about such a thing?"
“Let her give up as soon as possible.” He said.
Dong Qing nodded and said: "That's fine, but you have to make up your mind. You have to be more straightforward about such things."
“I understand.” Li Kun nodded in agreement.
“I’ll go tell her right away.”
With that said, he let go of his wife, raised his feet and walked out. After taking two steps, he stopped again, turned around and hugged his wife again, saying: "Dong Qing, you are so kind."
“Go quickly.” Dong Qing smiled and urged him.
Li Kun just went out. When he reached the door, he turned back and told his wife: "I will go home after talking to her. You wait for me. When I come back, we will have dinner together."
Dong Qing nodded vigorously towards her husband and said with a smile: "Today is the dinner I cooked for you with my own hands. I will wait for you to come back before using it."
Hearing this, Li Kun glanced at the food on the table and replied with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've eaten food cooked by my wife. Once I ask them to cover it up, if it gets cold, it won't taste good."
With that said, he walked out of the door and strode outside.
