Chapter 18 Part 2: Net Worth

 

^^

 

Sure enough, Gu Hui Yan didn't care when he heard this kind of contradiction. Instead, he changed the topic and talked about another thing: "You will remove the mourning clothes in May. There is not much time left. Are all relevant things ready?"

　　

Lin Wei Xi pursed her lip, she did not answer, rather looked at Gu Hui Yan: "I must remove the mourning clothes in Yan Wang Mansion?"

　　

Gu Yan Hui gently looked at her: "Otherwise?"

　　

The people on the side who were listening could not stand it, Yan Wang took the initiative to arrange Miss Lin’s filial piety matters, but Lin Wei Xi actually showed reluctance? Gao Ran's expression wasn't very good at this time. Lin Wei Xi rather too pretentious, and Yan Wang was also too much, why spoiling this kind of hypocritical and pretentious woman? But Gu Hui Yan mentioned this, and Gu Cheng Yao, who was sitting next to her, had no objection. Gao Ran just smiled and agreed: "Coming out from filial piety period is a major event. Miss Lin can remove the mourning clothes in Yan Wang Mansion, truly has a fate with the mansion. I have never manage a filial piety matter before. If there is an unsatisfactory place, please ask Miss Lin for understanding.”

　　

Gao Ran buried the nail in her words secretly. It was a polite sentence. Who knows what kind of answer Lin Wei Xi would give, "Since Shizi Consort has never arrange weddings and funerals matters, so let's forget it. Getting rid the mourning clothes is not major event anyway, I can arrange it myself, there is no need for Shizi Consort to learn now."

 

The scene was suddenly become awkward, Gao Ran did not expect her polite words would be analyze and criticized by Lin Wei Xi, her mouth stiffened, and could only justify herself: "Although I am young, I have been guided by my grandmother and elders at home and have handled some major events. Since Miss Lin lives in the mansion, you are our distinguished guest, the matter of removing mourning clothes, how can we let you, a guest, prepare it yourself?"

　　

"What's wrong, I'm the only one left in the Lin family. If I didn't meet His Highness Yan Wang, what can't I do by myself?" Speaking until here, Lin Wei Xi glanced to the side, she dared to choke Gao Ran face to face, but did not dare to brush Gu Hui Yan's face. To speak frankly, the right to decide this matter was still in Gu Hui Yan’s hand. Seeing Gu Hui Yan’s calm expression, Lin Wei Xi felt the invisible pressure and hurriedly said some flattery words: "I have a fate with His Highness Yan Wang. It’s not because of the fate with Yan Wang Mansion. It makes no sense to ask Yan Wang Mansion to help me remove the mourning clothes. His Highness, don’t you think so?"

　　

"Why is it makes no sense?" Gu Hui Yan looked amiably at Lin Wei Xi, but the words that came out were completely different "Is there a difference in your eyes between Yan Wang Mansion and I?"

　　

"Of course there is a difference. Yan Wang is you, but Yan Wang Mansion is a family conferred by the court. If other people in the mansion instigate me, I will certainly ignore it, but if it is you Yan Wang, as long as you ask, I will offer my life in sacrifice. Without hesitation."

　　

Gu Hui Yan finally laughed and glanced at Lin Wei Xi lightly: "You can talk."

　　

Lin Wei Xi knew when she heard it there is still hope: "Then the matter is decided like this?"

　　

"It's up to you."

　　

Lin Wei Xi immediately smiled, in the end still did not forget to turn to Gao Ran's direction: "Although the guest usually comply with the host, but it is better not to inconvenience you. Shizi Consort does not have to worry about learning. His Highness has agreed. I will handle it myself."

　　

At this time still not forget to bring him up, Gu Hui Yan felt helpless and funny. This little girl's mind was too far away from him. Gu Hui Yan used to being surrounded by blood-stained military reports or cold court struggles. Suddenly, a little girl pulls him into scheming his own children. It was as if he also infected by another person world’s firework. Although thin and shallow, but this feelings was not bad.

　　

Gao Ran and Gu Cheng Yao sat together, and when Lin Wei Xi glanced at Gao Ran, Gu Cheng Yao naturally saw it clearly. Both his upbringing and childhood experience tell him that he should like gentle and generous women, and Gu Cheng Yao has also thought so for so many years. Lin Wei Xi was the opposite from the female virtues that he expected. Gu Cheng Yao originally thought he would fed up, but when he really encountered Lin Wei Xi's undisguised provocation, he found that he was not impatient, but calm and faintly helpless. It's like... indulging.

　　

Gu Cheng Yao was taken aback by his own thoughts, and immediately laughed at himself, what foolish though he was thinking, Gao Ran is his fated person that he search before. It was just because of his father's face, that he tolerated Lin Wei Xi in every possible way.

　　

The two male masters showed an indulging attitude towards Lin Wei Xi, Gao Ran immediately became unhappy. She believed in her heart that Lin Wei Xi was deliberate, deliberately went the other way to attract Gu Cheng Yao's attention, and then further pretended to be pitiful in front of Gu Cheng Yao. Gao Ran was so angry that her liver hurts, in her heart she became more determined to quickly make Lin Wei Xi move out. Yan Wang's Mansion could only have her as the mistress, and could not tolerate a second mistress.

　　

The matter of Lin Wei Xi's mourning clothes removal finalized like that. Gu Hui Yan said that Lin Wei Xi was allowed to handle it on her own, but later he send some people to help her. Lin Wei Xi showed some reluctances, but Gu Hui Yan said, "This is my personal name that send over some manpower. Didn't you say that you don't want to accept the help of the Yan Wang Mansion, but you won’t reject Yan Wang."

　　

Okay, Lin Wei Xi obediently shut her mouth.

　　

On the third day of May, Lin Wei Xi took off her white mourning clothes and took off the fine white flowers on her hair. The three years of father's filial piety officially ended. Even so, Lin Wei Xi remembered the kindness of Lin Yong and the original body, she did not put on bright red clothes, but still attired herself with plain color.

　　

Grand Princess Shou Kang also paid close attention to Lin Wei Xi's mourning clothes removal. Just by chance it would be the Dragon Boat Festival not long after. The Emperor and the Empress Dowager were going to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boat race, accompanied by the imperial family members and court officials. Grand Princess Shou Kang had sent Lin Wei Xi new clothes and new jewelry early on, she was ready to dress Lin Wei Xi up, and then led her out to formally introduce her to the ladies and wives of the capital.

　　

Lin Wei Xi looked at the Yun brocade dress and sighed, but couldn't bear to disappoint her grandmother, so she followed the wishes of Grand Princess Shou Kang and dressed up grandly.

　　

How could Lin Wei Xi think that Grand Princess Shou Kang had the idea of ​​finding her a potential husband at this time.
