I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 14 Part 2: Grudge

 

 ^^

Lin Wei Xi didn't expect to hear such words from these two girls. She laughed mockingly, it was really rare for someone to see her kindness. Lin Wei Xi didn't want to talk about these bad things anymore. Now she saw that Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran’s love was really crooked, and Gao Ran’s dowry maid was preaching everywhere with a proud face. God knows previously these servants had not even dare to lift their heads in front of Lin Wei Xi, but now they could even raise their tails.

　　

Lin Wei Xi stood up and said faintly: "This is their family affair after all. It is not good to talk about personal matters behind their back, later don’t talk about it anymore."

　　

Wan Yue and Wan Xing looked at each other, and both noticed the contradiction in Lin Wei Xi's body. Miss Lin obviously relied on Yan Wang very much, but uncharacteristically indifferent when mentioning Yan Wang’s family. Was it not to love the house and its crow, why Miss Lin had such a contradictory attitude? Wan Yue and Wan Xing didn’t know, and didn’t dare to mention it anymore. Instead, they carefully served Lin Wei Xi and changed her clothes: "Miss, today Yan Wang is angry with Shizi because of Grand Princess Shou Kang, and said he will take Shizi to visit Grand Princess in a few days to apologize. Do you think this is true?"

　　

"Why is it not true." Lin Wei Xi sneered, with sarcasm in her tone, "How dare they despise the grand princess mansion because the lack of children, where did they get the courage from? Even if the princess mansion really has no successor, as long as the eldest princess still alive, no one in the capital will dare to neglect. Even Yan Wang still wants to call Princess Shou Kang aunt, she a shu daughter who was itching to jump up, think that she can behave atrociously in the princess mansion’s territory, truly funny."

　　

"Miss..."

　　

Lin Wei Xi also noticed her agitated emotions. She took a deep breath and said, "Prepared the clothes these days, I am going to visit the princess mansion with Yan Wang."

　　

Wan Yue was stunned. Lin Wei Xi was still in her filial piety period, usually stayed behind close door and declined visitors. Why did she think of going to the princess mansion? But these weren't her things as a maid to worry about. Wan Yue responded with a low voice, and went to prepare Lin Wei Xi’s clothes to visit people.

　　

Gu Hui Yan didn't say anything after learning about it, nodded and agreed. After he finally freed himself, he personally took the people from Yan Wang Mansion to visit Grand Princess Shou Kang.

　　

Yan Wang's presence was of course regarded as distinguished guest and immediately welcomed into the mansion. When Grand Princess Shou Kang heard that Yan Wang was visiting, she had her body supported to greet him herself.

　　

When Gu Hui Yan saw Grand Princess Shou Kang, he quickly got up to support her arm: "Auntie, the dog son is stubborn and has failed your painstaking efforts. Now I trouble you to come out in person. This is really my sin."

　　

"Don't say that. You are now a Qinwang that emperor heavily rely on for your assistance. How dare I, an old lady who already has one foot on the grave, dare to accept your apology."

 

When Gu Hui Yan saw this he also could not say anything. He lightly looked at Gu Cheng Yao, his hand pointed at him. Gu Cheng Yao understood his father’s meaning, could only reluctantly walk and give a salute to Grand Princess Shou Kang: "This junior was confused a few days ago and offended grandaunt. Please forgive this junior."

　　

Gu Cheng Yao was the son of Yan Wang. Even if Grand Princess Shou Kang hated his negligence of Sister Xi, but she couldn't ignore Yan Wang's face. Yan Wang took his son to apologize in person. From the perspective of etiquette and morals, Yan Wang’s sincerity had been fully satisfied. Princess Shou Kang could only nod her head and said lukewarmly: "There is no overnight hatred in the family, since you understand that's good. Get up quickly."

 

Gu Cheng Yao got up, Gao Ran followed up and saluted: "Maternal grandmother."

　　

Princess Shou Kang snorted obviously, not even looking. Gao Ran showed an aggrieved look, Gu Cheng Yao felt distressed. But Gu Hui Yan was still calmly sit, even if Gu Cheng Yao was angry, he did not dare to move.

　　

It was also at this time that Princess Shou Kang realized that there was one more person. She looked at the exquisite girl like a New Year picture in the hall, and she was slightly stunned: "This is..."

　　

Lin Wei Xi stepped forward and knocked her head three times to Princess Shou Kang: "This little girl is Lin Wei Xi, pay respect to Grand Princess."

　　

Princess Shou Kang looked at the woman on the ground, her eyes unconsciously widened. Gu Hui Yan saw this gave an explanation: "When quelling the Northwest rebellion, I was careless. It was her father who fought hard to cover for me. You should have an impression of Marquis Zhongyong a while ago. After the Northwest rebellion was subsided, I met this young girl who had lost her mother since she was young, and now her father also dead. It is not a way to live alone, so I took her to the capital. Today, I brought the juniors to greet you, and she also come along."

　　

After Princess Shou Kang listened to this, the inexplicable throbbing in her heart became more and more obvious. She asked someone to help Lin Wei Xi up, and beckoned her to move closer and looked at her for a while, warmly covering the back of Lin Wei Xi's hand with her rough hands, and asked: "Your name is Lin Wei Xi, what is your nickname?"

　　

"This little girl had no mother since she was born, and she didn't have a baby name. Everyone in the family called me Sister Xi."

　　

"Sister Xi." Even the name was exactly the same, Princess Shou Kang's eyes suddenly became wet, "Okay, just call Sister Xi. When were you born?"

　　

"At maoshi (5-7 am) of fifteenth of the first lunar month."

 

Hearing this Gao Ran's eyes widened, and Gu Cheng Yao's face was also a little strange. When Gu Hui Yan saw this his eyebrows slightly moved, he asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

 

Gao Ran and Gu Cheng Yao didn't speak, the old woman in the princess mansion wiped her tears and said, "Reporting to Yan Wang, the birthday of our eldest miss is the fifteenth of the first lunar month, only in youshi (5-7 pm)."

　　

Gao Xi had been close to their family since childhood, and the people in princess mansion directly called her eldest miss.

　　

Gu Hui Yan was also surprised when he heard this: "It's such a coincidence."

 

The same nickname, the same last syllable, and even the same birthday. That strange feeling came again, and Gu Cheng Yao looked at Lin Wei Xi who was standing at the front, suddenly felt a sense of trance.

　　

For a split second, Gu Cheng Yao almost felt that the one standing in front of him was his deceased first wife, his former resentful spouse, Gao Xi.

 

The author has something to say:

Lin Wei Xi will not recognize the princess. She is a pure ancient woman. Modern people must consider self-protection when encountering such things. She is influenced by ancient etiquette and will not take the initiative to expose her own identity, even if it was her grandmother.

Lin Wei Xi's current thinking is that she doesn't need to recognize each other, but she still respects her grandmother. After all, Gao Xi really died, and the grief left to the living cannot be erased.
