I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 11 Part 2: Shizi

 

 ^^

Tao Mama was startled. Since she followed Gao Ran to Yan Wang Mansion, compared to Duke Yingguo mansion, her treatment was almost like heaven and earth. She was accustomed to the prestige of being the mistress of the house’s wet nurse, and now let her apologize to a 16-year-old girl in front of many servants. This was simply tearing down her face. Tao Mama actually didn't care about Lin Wei Xi. Wasn't it just a hick? Even if her father relied on Wangye to confer him marquis title, also couldn't change the fact that Lin Wei Xi was just a village girl. Tao Mama looked at Gao Ran in disbelief. After she saw Gao Ran's expression, Tao Mama felt angry and apologized to Lin Wei Xi with a thick face: "It's this old slave who lost her sense and propriety and offended Miss Lin. Miss Lin please forgive."

　　

Lin Wei Xi's delicate chin didn't move, but she glanced at Tao Mama with her eyelids down. The posture was condescending and her tone was not weak: "Get up. This time you just spoke rudely to me. I consider His Royal Highness’s face and won’t held you accountable. If next time you dare to insult the name of Marquis Zhongyong, then you will get the crime of disrespecting the court heroes, no one can take care of it for you."

　　

After saying that, Lin Wei Xi didn’t even bother to look at Tao Mama and Gao Ran, and went straight ahead. Since marrying into Yan Wang Mansion Gao Ran rarely being ignored like this. She was stunned for a moment, and anger appeared in her eyes, but in the end she pressed it down and quickly chased after Lin Wei Xi.

　　

"Miss Lin, since you don't want me to arrange the courtyard, where are you going to settle down now?"

　　

Lin Wei Xi paused, and her pace immediately slowed down. She almost forgot that it was the first time she came to Yan Wang Mansion, so she shouldn't know the way. Lin Wei Xi concealed it with a low cough, and said, "Troubled Shizi Consort to lead me to wait in the main hall. His Royal Highness Yan Wang gave me great kindness. I will wait for him to return and ask him to find a place for me."

　　

Gao Ran had nothing to say. In fact, in this short moment, Gao Ran's evaluation of Lin Wei Xi could be described as falling again and again. She now understood that this was not a small white flower in the popular sense, but a figure with some tricks and a little bit of thorns. Suddenly such opponent moved in, it seemed Gao Ran still had a long way to go.

　　

The flames in Gao Ran's heart rose more and more. She lowered her head to conceal the hostility and aggressiveness in her eyes, and when she raised her head again, she looked gentle and generous: "Miss Lin is really sentimental and righteous. When my father comes back and seeing you like this, he will definitely very pleased. Miss Lin comes with me, the hall of the inner house is this way."

　　

Lin Wei Xi was taken aback for a moment, and realized that Gao Ran's "father" referred to Yan Wang. Lin Wei Xi felt a little complicated, and at the same time she was a little proud of herself. Was Gao Ran try to use intimate relations to demonstrate to Lin Wei Xi? Lin Wei Xi thought to herself, if it was about real closeness, it could not be said who would win.

　　

Lin Wei Xi fell ill on the road and burned up the whole night. At the time her mind was hazy, but she was extremely keen of the sounds around her. She was dizzy but she could hear some footsteps. She tried to open her eyes and saw Yan Wang sitting on the bedside, checking her forehead solemnly. His eyebrows twisted, didn’t say anything and got up after a while. Soon afterwards he brought the doctor over. Lin Wei Xi laid inside the bed curtain, could only heard the faint conversation outside. Even when discussing her condition, Yan Wang made people lower their voice.

　　

Through this show of kindness, Lin Wei Xi knew she had not chosen the wrong person when she looked up at Yan Wang as an idol for so many years. Even though planted in the middle was his son, Lin Wei Xi could not find any reason to be angry with Yan Wang himself. Lin Wei Xi was cursing people when she met Yan Wang for the first time. Then afterwards her tricks were exposed, and she was seen without washing her face, and she lose temper when she was given guidance... Lin Wei Xi thought that all of her ugliness had already been seen, so Lin Wei Xi was calm in front of Gu Hui Yan, there would be nothing worse. Even if she clearly showed that she disliked Gao Ran, Gu Hui Yan would not say much. If Gao Ran thought to file a complaint with Yan wang... Heh, then it was indefinite who would be accuse to have sinister feeling.

　　

Lin Wei Xi actually knew where the main hall was, but she followed after Gao Ran. Gao Ran was about to lead Lin Wei Xi in when she was suddenly called away by a servant. Lin Wei Xi’s years of upbringing prevented her to go around by herself without the host’s presence, so she stood there and waited, her white velvet cloak draped over her shoulder. Stared boringly at the carved flowers on the window sill, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Sister Xi."

　　

Lin Wei Xi automatically turned her head just to see a man stepped into the gate, and met her gaze. Hearing the call just now, his expression was obviously taken aback.

　　

Sister Xi?

　　

Lin Wei Xi's expression became stiff when she saw the incoming person, she hurriedly lowered her head to cover up the strong emotion in her eyes. At this time, Zhou Mao Cheng had already walked quickly to Lin Wei Xi's side, and said with a grin: "Sister Xi, your body coughs after two steps. Why didn’t you go back to the house and just stand outside?"

　　

Lin Wei Xi was afraid that when she relax slightly she would be exposed, so could only try hard to put an expressionless face. She glanced indifferently at the person that just arrived, and then shifted her gaze to Zhou Mao Cheng. Zhou Mao Cheng slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "Oh, I forget to introduce you. This is the only son of Wangye, our Yan Wang Mansion Shizi, Gu Cheng Yao. He’s not an outsider, you don't need to be shy."

　　

"What is not an outsider." Lin Wei Xi said jerkily, without raising her head, she respectfully and coldly saluted Gu Cheng Yao, "Shizi."

　　

Zhou Mao Cheng was a rough man, he didn't notice Lin Wei Xi's tight body, and warmly introduced Gu Cheng Yao: "Shizi, this is the girl Wangye mentioned in the letter, the only daughter of Marquis Zhongyong, Lin Wei Xi."

 

According to custom woman’s name should not be revealed freely, but In Zhou Mao Cheng’s mind Gu Cheng Yao was the son of Yan Wang, he was certainly not an outsider, so he said Lin Wei Xi’s name carelessly… Gu Cheng Yao didn't feel good until he heard Lin Wei Xi's full name.

　　

It turned out to be Lin Wei Xi, not that Sister Xi. Gu Cheng Yao couldn’t tell how he felt in his heart, but facing a guest, Gu Cheng Yao ignored the complicated emotions in his heart. Instead, he smiled politely at Lin Wei Xi: "I’m Gu Cheng Yao. Since your father gave up his life to save my father, then you are an honor guest of Yan Wang Mansion. You don’t have to be restrained in the future, just live in Yan Wang Mansion freely. If you have any difficulties, just come and find me.”

　　

Lin Wei Xi’s face was still cold, but she laughed in her heart, laugh that full of sadness… Gu Cheng Yao said to a completely unfamiliar woman, "If you have any difficulties, just come and find me." However, as Gu Cheng Yao's wife in the previous life, she was exhausted to the bone in order to manage the household. Afterwards, she fell ill and died because of overwork, but she had never heard Gu Cheng Yao said that sentence, ‘if you are in trouble, you can come to me’.

　　

Life encounters and comparisons are so ridiculous.
