I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND
Chapter 10 Part 2: Shu Younger Sister
Gao Ran took many servant girls and grannies to wait at the Chui Hua Gate, Gao Ran
was like the moon that were hold by many
stars1, faintly became everyone’s head, with noble young lady’s posture
and great style. She stood for a long time before the frame of Yan Wang's convoy
slowly arrived. Many men who looked like members of the army surrounded the
second carriage, escorting it carefully and vigilantly. The coachman unintentionally
rushed into a small stone, and the carriage shook invisibly, the coachman was
immediately glared by everyone.
The coachman hurriedly apologized to the inside. When Gao Ran saw this, the smile on her lips grew deeper, revealing a vague victory. After the carriage cautiously stopped, Zhou Mao Cheng knocked on the door and said, "Lin girl, we’re here. Are you still uncomfortable?"
There was a slight noise in the carriage, a white hand opened the curtain, and a fair and delicate woman appeared in front
of the crowd. Gao Ran looked at the one that had just arrived, unconcerned.
Sure enough, what ability a poor family could have? This kind of person was not
even worthy of her shoes, how could she compete with her?
Gao Ran just moved a step and was about to
speak when she saw the woman jumped out of the carriage with the corner of her
skirt, and then quickly turned back to help the other person.
The carriage’s curtain was opened again, and
another woman with a double bun hairstyle supporting a girl appeared in front of everyone. The people of the mansion that waited in the second gate saw the
people coming and couldn't help but gasp with amazement.
When they saw the first woman who got off the
carriage, many people were despised. This was the oil bottle2 that delayed Wangye’s
journey? That was it! However, in fact, this was just a maid. When the main character
came out from the back and they saw Lin Wei Xi's face, many people were
stunned, their mouths opened unconsciously.
Everyone had a heart for beauty, but to be called
a beauty also divided into different opinions. Everyone has their own type.
Some people preferred the pitiful kind, some liked the dignified and
magnanimous kind, but the one who slowly got off the carriage, even the
pickiest person couldn’t say that her looks was bad.
This was one of a kind extremely good-looking,
extremely beautiful, not only pretty, but gorgeous woman3. The people in
the mansion looked a little dumbfounded, Gao Ran swept across Lin Wei Xi's face,
body, down to the shoes, unconsciously frowning.
Lin Wei Xi was tortured by the journey, her
whole body was haggard, and her state was extremely poor. If possible, Lin Wei
Xi didn't want to appear weak in front of everyone in the Yan Wang Mansion, but
her body didn’t allow her. Lin Wei Xi felt tortured and lost her disposition. She
gave up and stop bothering, let's make a living like this. Anyway, everyone in Yan Wang Mansion didn't know who she was.
Lin Wei Xi was assisted to get off the
carriage by two maids. The escorting guards stared at Lin Wei Xi's movements
with bated breath. When they saw her safely standing on the ground, they let
out the tightly held breath. Lin Wei Xi drew close the shawl on her body,
almost without delay noticed Gao Ran at first glance.
Oh, I haven't seen her for a few days, this shu younger sister has been reborn, and
almost made her unrecognizable.
Gao Ran also happened to ran into Lin Wei Xi’s line of sight. She and Lin Wei Xi looked at each other for a short while, and then she
calmed down her unhappiness, smiled gently and walked a few steps, wanting to
pull Lin Wei Xi’s hand: "So this is the distinguished guest that
father-in-law said in his letter. What’s the girl called?"
Lin Wei Xi coldly avoided Gao Ran's hand, and
said with an expressionless face: "My surname is Lin. Shizi Consort can
call me Wei Xi."
It turned out to be Lin Wei Xi... Gao Ran
taste the name in her heart, and then put on the posture of the hostess again, smiled
broadly: "Miss Lin just came, I'm afraid she is still afraid of stranger. Younger
sister, no need to be afraid, treat the mansion as your own home. If you have
any needs, just tell me directly."
"Shizi Consort, my parents only have one
daughter, I am afraid I can't be your younger sister." Lin Wei Xi’s smile didn’t
changed, although there was smile in her eyes, but frost was hidden in her voice,
"I don’t have any siblings, and I'm not used to calling people brothers
and sisters. You can call me by my name."
Dare to call her younger sister, where Gao
Ran's face came from?
Again and again, Gao Ran couldn't hold back
her face. She secretly sneered in her heart, sure enough this one came from a
poor family. Petty from head to toe, not allowed to be seen in public. But the
more it was so, the more enthusiast Gao Ran treated the other.
Zhou Mao Cheng was not surprised to hear Lin
Wei Xi's words, he knew that no one could escape this girl's harsh words except
for Wangye. But after all Zhou Mao Cheng knew that even though Lin Wei Xi’s
mouth was not merciful, her heart was good. He was afraid that Shizi Consort
would make things difficult for Lin Wei Xi, so he quickly stepped forward and
said: "Pay respect to Shizi Consort! Wangye originally want to send Lin
girl back to the house first, but the palace called urgently, Wangye have to go
to the Imperial Palace, so we are the one that send her back. This subordinate
will go to the front yard to see Shizi. Lin girl is in poor health and is still
sick from the road. Please Shizi Consort
take care of it temporarily."
Although Zhou Mao Cheng was a rough person, but
these people had follows Yan Wang closely, his speaking skills was also not lacking.
His remarks seemed polite, but both inside and outside the words revealed that Yan
Wang attached great importance to Lin Wei Xi. Finally the last sentence "Please
Shizi Consort take care of it temporarily", you know the weight of this.
Gao Ran understood, and her heart became more and
more unhappy. An orphan without a father or mother, wasn't it just that her
face looks better, how could she compared to a distinguished and educated woman
like her? Gao Ran secretly ridiculed these crude people for their lack of
eyesight and ignorance, but still politely bid farewell to Zhou Mao Cheng and the
others, and then took Lin Wei Xi into the house affectionately.
Gao Ran enquired about Lin Wei Xi’s well-being along
the way, the hostess’s coy attitude was extremely excessive. But Lin Wei Xi had
always cold and indifferent, reservedly holding the hand stove, and
occasionally replied with a sentence or two. One could imagine how frustrated Gao
Ran was. She accompanied Lin Wei Xi to walked Yan Wang Mansion’s richly
decorated winding corridor. Turning her head slightly, she could see Lin Wei Xi's
delicate profile and long eyelashes. Gao Ran looked at Lin Wei Xi's profile and
suddenly felt an extremely absurd feeling.
It felt like the person walking beside her was
not Lin Wei Xi, who had lost her father and mother and went to the capital to
seek shelter, but the one who had stepped on high cloud since she was a child,
Gao Xi!

ReplyDeleteHa! Let the games begin!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the update ❣️😊!
This GR girl really is something. So, when she became a shu daughter it was only to begin a rags-to-riches Cinderella story, but when somebody else is poor and an orphan, they're nobodies and could never make anything out of themselves? Hmm, I think the ancient time is corrupting her mind.
ReplyDeleteThisssss. So much this.
DeleteBut that's because she sees herself as the main lead of the only story that matters. :x
Same. I just left a comment on the last chapter... If Gao Ran had toned herself down, she would be typical rags-to-riches white lotus Cinderella that Cdramas are so fond of,
Deleteand I wouldn't judge her THAT harshly.
But now that she is behaving like a grade-A cunt, I can't wait for karma to give her a permanent infection.
Wow! How did she connect thise two together so fast! Is she smart or is MC's aura too unique😆 Maybe MC's aura is unique and Gai Ran happen to be smart enough to connect them😝😋
ReplyDeletewow. she's very smart to figure out that person is like her older sister.
ReplyDeleteUgh! Arrogant black hearted woman stop dirtying my eyes. You were a regular girl who came to a shu girl's body what right do you have to judge 🙄
ReplyDelete😍😍😍 Wangye cradles Xiao Xi like a pearl in his palm while his son holds fish eyes. Obviously the army men are there because of orders but I hope they grew fond of her during their travels too.
Well well well... This Gao ran has wasted the modern education and got her mind corrupted obviously.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest they are both in the wrong for being so hostile out the gate. I can see it from either perspective. I'm coming at this from the context of them knowing they are characters in a book so depending on who is the protagonist things will be skewed in their favour. Who can tell which is the villain as it depends on the perspective we are seeing. This is also a historical so women do what they can to survive and the way Gao Ran is set up is in line with a protagonist so is she really bad? I'm curious to see what direction it goes but it is likely going to be stereotypical(i.e Gao Ran vile evil woman etc)
