I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 13 Part 2: Justice

 

^^

 

Gu Cheng Yao turned towards Gao Ran, Gao Ran originally felt gratified. She felt very relieved that the old princess who was disliked by men even her husband, did not like her and she didn’t even want to enter the gate of the princess mansion. The old princess couldn't even give birth to a son, only knew how to oppress others with her princess’s status. Gao Ran deeply felt that Shou Kang deserved it, back then Wei shi and now Gao Xi both had their karmic retribution. Gu Cheng Yao broke the contact with the princess mansion because the people in the princess mansion gave her cold-face. Gao Ran felt the hero's aura was very useful. But now Gu Hui Yan laid out such things... Gao Ran's face was stunned, and for a while, she didn't know what was wrong. Could Yan Wang dissatisfied with her because of this? Why is that?

　　

Gu Cheng Yao was different from Gao Ran. He knew his father better. Hearing Gu Hui Yan's tone, he knew that his father was angry. The angrier Gu Hui Yan became, the calmer he was. Now this situation was obviously the latter.

　　

Gu Cheng Yao didn't dare to sit any more, stood up immediately, lowered his head and said, "Son doesn't mean that... But Grand Princess Shou Kang is too domineering. Shizi Consort already become my official wife. The elder was not compassionate why the son need to be filial? She is unwilling to respect Shizi Consort, if the son still obeys her as always, wouldn't it be a lowering the face of Yan Wang Mansion?"

　　

Gao Ran also quickly stood up and quickly glanced at Lin Wei Xi, pouting her mouth and lowering her head: "It's this daughter-in-law that is wrong, not Shizi’s fault. Please father don’t be angry at Shizi.”

　　

Lin Wei Xi certainly understood the meaning of Gao Ran’s glance. This was family matters of Yan Wang Mansion. No matter what, Lin Wei Xi as an outsider should not listen to this. Normally Lin Wei Xi would have found an excuse to leave the table, but it was Gu Cheng Yao who stood in front of her. Lin Wei Xi's years of upbringing told her to respect the private affairs of her host family, and she should politely turned away, but... she really wanted to watch Gu Cheng Yao get scolded. Lin Wei Xi finally decided to submit to her own will, sitting steadily, trying to minimize her sense of existence, but continued to listen with awe-inspiring righteousness.

　　

When Gu Hui Yan heard Gu Cheng Yao's words, the anger in his heart grew stronger. There was no joy or anger on his face, but everyone could feel the pressure from his words: "If the princess really ignores the face of Yan Wang Mansion, she will not let you in."

 

Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran both bowed their heads, their breathing deliberately light. Gu Hui Yan calmed down for a while, and when he spoke again, he reverted to being the rigorous Yan Wang: "If you didn’t keep your wife mourning period and insist to remarry, this is your fault. Grand Princess Shou Kang just gave a cold attitude, if she let people bar the door from you that is also right. At the beginning, you personally wrote to marry the granddaughter of the grand princess, who was the only bloodline of the grand princess, but died within a year in the mansion without a clear reason. Princess Shou Kang had opinions on you, do you still dare to disagree?"

　　

"Father." Gu Cheng Yao couldn't help but look up, "The person I was looking for was not her, she and the princess..."

　　

Under Gu Hui Yan's look Gu Cheng Yao's voice gradually disappeared. He lowered his head obediently, and Gu Hui Yan chuckled lightly, put the tea cup on the table with a bang: "Are you the person who wrote the letter in the beginning? Is it you the person who exchanged eight-characters card to settle the marriage?"

　　

Gu Cheng Yao looked sullen, after enduring and restrained himself, still reluctantly said: "Yes."

　　

"That's enough, no one will listen to your reasons. You are already so old. If you do something wrong, then you are wrong. You don't want to take responsibility, but make excuses for yourself?"

　　

Lin Wei Xi's eyes were sour when she heard this. She quickly opened her eyes and forced her tears back. For so long, that heavenly book, Duke Yingguo Mansion, and even many old servants in Yan Wang Mansion had been saying that she reap what she sown and that she deserves it. Among so many people, unexpectedly only Yan Wang that redressed her grievances and ruthlessly criticized Gu Cheng Yao… Yan Wang was even Gu Cheng Yao's father, one hundred percent her husband's family.

　　

Originally, it was Lin Wei Xi who carelessly replaced Gao Ran's life-saving grace, but who was to blame? It was Gu Cheng Yao who confessed to the wrong person, and Gao Ran was behind the tricks. Why should she be burdened with someone else’s mistake? Even if it discovered that it was a mistake that made the wrong relationship, but Gu Cheng Yao married her after all, why didn't Gu Cheng Yao think about his husband's responsibility?

　　

Gu Cheng Yao who was reprimanded felt embarrass, Gao Ran wanted to say something, but when she came in contact with Gu Hui Yan's line of sight, she was so scared that her throat was blocked, unable to say anything.

　　

This was Gu Hui Yan’s rare anger, the hall was silent inside and outside. Even the old people that used to serve the old wangye did not dare to speak at this moment. In this extremely quiet house, suddenly there were burst of irritable coughing, and the person seemed to want to suppress the movement. However, the more she want pressed it down the worse the coughing became, Lin Wei Xi covered her mouth, frowning, and taking the time to say to Gu Hui Yan with difficulty: "Sorry, I too don't want to disturb you and Shizi. It's just...cough cough..."

　　

Lin Wei Xi's cheeks were flushed from coughing, her eyes were tearful, actually it was just to hide her excitement. Gu Hui Yan initially was angry but seeing Lin Wei Xi coughing so pitifully, he sighed and said, "Why are you coughing again? Did you drink medicine today?"

　　

Lin Wei Xi was speechless, and Wan Yue hurried forward and carefully replied: "This slave already served Miss to drink it, but the weather is dry these few days, it always doesn't work."

　　

"Tomorrow, I will call the imperial physician from the palace to change your medicine."

　　

Lin Wei Xi thanked Gu Hui Yan with difficulty, and Gu Cheng Yao looked helplessly at group of people rushing to Lin Wei Xi's side, handing tea and pat her back, let this Shizi seemed to be forgotten.

　　

But fortunately, with this, the matter just now also was turned over, and the people who was serving Gu Cheng Yao was very relieved. When Lin Wei Xi thought that she once again helped Gu Cheng Yao out of predicament, she was so angry that she couldn't stop the itch in her throat.

　　

With great difficulty Lin Wei Xi finally stopped coughing, everyone in the hall breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Hui Yan still frowning when he looked at Lin Wei Xi. Lin Wei Xi on the other hand took a look at Gu Hui Yan while carefully obedient: "Your Highness, are you still angry?"

　　

Gu Hui Yan helplessly looked at Lin Wei Xi, without moving his eyebrows, gently raised his hand to Gu Cheng Yao: "There will be no other time."

 

Gao Ran was overjoyed when she heard this. Gu Cheng Yao's face was tense. He gave Lin Wei Xi a complicated look and bowed his head to Gu Hui Yan. For a while everyone looked at Lin Wei Xi's eyes with gratitude, and Lin Wei Xi smiled stiffly, with misery.

　　

Actually, she didn't mean that...

 

TN: Because she was too excited, LWX actually helped her enemy, smh!
