IBTSOME Chapter 33 Part 2: Framed
I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND
Chapter 33 Part 2: Framed
^^
Lin Wei Xi continued her
sentence just now: "Shizi talked to me like that, only because he feel
that I deliberately used my force to pour hot tea on Shizi consort. After all,
the tea was spilled. From the direction it could only me who forced it. Shizi,
isn't that so?"
Gu Cheng Yao turned his
head away, but clearly tacitly agreed, he really did think so. Lin Wei Xi
didn't know whether to sneer or to be sad. After life and death, she changed
her identity, and Gu Cheng Yao still reluctant to believe in her. If in the
past Gao Xi definitely would argue, but now Lin Wei Xi didn’t even have the
desire to explain. Who made her their mother? As the mother, wasn’t she supposed
to tolerate the children who made mistakes?
So Lin Wei Xi just smiled
generously, and didn’t describe too much the details of that time: "I
don't know since when Shizi have such a deep prejudice against me. If I have anything
I don’t like I can directly say it, then can you still go against me? Why
should I do such a villain thing, stupidly let everyone see that I targeted
Shizi Consort and spilled the tea on her?"
Gu Cheng Yao originally
wanted to refute, but when he slightly opened his mouth he realized that he
couldn't say a word. Although Lin Wei Xi's reasoning was crooked, it was really
irrefutable.
Gu Hui Yan was originally
angry, but when he heard Lin Wei Xi's words, he wanted to be angry but also
found it laughable.
"What are you
talking about?"
"What I said is
true!" Lin Wei Xi glanced at Gu Hui Yan disgruntledly, her eyes like
flowing water, full of spirits, and the arrogance on her face was just right,
"Shizi, don’t you think it’s logical?"
Gu Cheng Yao seriously
followed Lin Wei Xi's train of thoughts for a while, and found that he was
speechless. His mind, which seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit, gradually
cleared up. Yeah, why did Lin Wei Xi need to do such an obvious and stupid
thing? In the past she was someone who took shelter in the mansion, pouring hot
tea on her daughter-in-law in public, is she crazy? Moreover, and it was not
good words to hear, if Lin Wei Xi really wanted to spilled tea, it would
definitely be aimed at him. With Gao Ran it was just loathing the house and its crow. Gu Cheng Yao clearly knew who Lin Wei
Xi was, but when this happened, why didn't he think that it might be an accident,
but directly suspected Lin Wei Xi?
Gu Cheng Yao was both
shocked and surprised. What’s wrong with him, why did he seem to have been
captured by something, and didn't look like himself.
Lin Wei Xi laid out her
wonderful logic, and strangely Gu Cheng Yao also really believed it. Looking at
the two people in front of him, Gu Hui Yan felt absurd for the first time. Just
forget about Lin Wei Xi's stupidity, what's the matter with his son, the heir he
had been carefully raised since childhood?
While the three of them
were talking in the next room, inside the bedroom was silent. Now that the
situation had been reversed, the footsteps inside suddenly became louder, the old
servant inside seems to be in pain alongside Gao Ran.
Lin Wei Xi almost unable
to contain herself from directly rolling her eyes. Looked at this trick, it was
an insult to the Duke Yingguo reputation! It was like a dereliction of duty if
the women who grew up inside the high wall of the deep courtyard did not understand
secret tricks, but even so if you want to use it, at least look at the
situation and see who was standing outside, right?
Gu Cheng Yao just now was
still accusing Lin Wei Xi, but at this moment he felt embarrassed, especially with
Lin Wei Xi not in the least covering up the disdain on her face. Gu Hui Yan's pupil
moved, and the depth of his eyes sank again.
In fact, Gu Hui Yan saw
it at that time. He clearly noticed that Lin Wei Xi's hand reached halfway, and
suddenly her palm turned in his direction, as her fingertips were placed on the
saucer, which was obviously didn’t have much strength, the tea turned sideways
in Gao Ran's direction. With Lin Wei Xi's posture, her strength naturally could
not make it. Gao Ran suddenly splashed with tea definitely have something fishy
about it, but Lin Wei Xi's movements also very interesting.
Perhaps, it wasn't a
showdown between young girls like he thought.
Something revealed in Gu Hui
Yan's heart, but in the end he didn't say anything. Lin Wei Xi was his wife who
barely entered the door, and it was his responsibility to protect her. Gao Ran
was his daughter-in-law. The most important thing was that Gu Cheng Yao liked
her very much.
Even though this woman
might not be a good person, this was his only son’s affairs. As long as Gao Ran
cared about Gu Cheng Yao, Gu Hui Yan could tolerate these nasty tricks.
These thoughts were just
a flash. Gu Hui Yan's expression not moved a single jot, indifferently said:
"I saw it during tea ceremony, Wangfei’s hand did not have the strength."
Just like sudden clap of thunder,
inside and outside the rooms immediately became quiet, and the atmosphere
inside was obviously tense. Gao Ran’s heart almost jumped out of her throat. If
it was not Wangfei, then who would it be?
Without letting anyone
speculate for too long, Gu Hui Yan continued to speak: "It must be an
accident. Shizi consort and Wangfei are not familiar with each other, so didn’t
catch it very well."
Lin Wei Xi heard this she
sigh a little, she was not surprised. As the head of the family, Yan Wang
couldn't say clearly how his daughter-in-law was. Gu Hui Yan's words proved
that Lin Wei Xi's methods were not in vain, he really saw it.
That was enough, Lin Wei
Xi also did not plan to make everyone see Gao Ran’s true color all at once. In
fact, the first step was the most difficult. Gu Hui Yan was now wary of Gao
Ran. There was no need for Lin Wei Xi to do anything in the future. Gu Hui Yan
would discover everything step by step. If Gao Ran continued to commit crimes,
Lin Wei Xi could only wish her the best, after all, no one knew where the
bottom line of Yan Wang was.
Lin Wei Xi was in a good
mood, and her heart was filled with the joy of being a mother. Lin Wei Xi’s
happiness was shown on her face, until Gu Hui Yan shoot her a glance, then Lin
Wei Xi with much difficulty held it back.
But it was just two
people so why not received it well? Why the tea cup didn't fall vertically, but
splashed towards Gao Ran's direction? Not to mention Gu Cheng Yao, even the
other people in the house didn't believe it, but Yan Wang said it was an
accident, then this was an accident. Gu Cheng Yao knew better than others. He
knew that his father would never tell lies even when he was in court. So there
was no doubt that Lin Wei Xi did not push the tea cup.
Suddenly, Gu Cheng Yao
didn't want to think about it anymore. Since it wasn't Lin Wei Xi, then who did
his father tried to cover up?
Originally, the target
was directed at the new Wangfei, but the situation suddenly changed. In the
end, Yan Wang testified that the matter had nothing to do with her. Things had
developed to this point, people in the room didn't dare to do anything. In this
silence, the hustle and bustle of the inner room was particularly obvious. A maid
accidentally knocked over a tray, and the mama next to Gao Ran immediately
lowered her voice and cursed: "You are so clumsy, have you not seen Shizi
Consort still sick?"
"Mama..." Gao
Ran's somewhat suppressed voice sounded, and then a strange silence came from within
the screen, it seemed Gao Ran gave her a hint.
Since standing here was
constraining, Gu Hui Yan was not in the mood to stay any longer. He commanded
"serve well", took the lead to turn around and went out. Gu Cheng Yao
only paused for a moment, and then left with Gu Hui Yan.
Lin Wei Xi watched the
two people leave one after another. When Gu Cheng Yao passed by his eyes stayed
for a moment. Lin Wei Xi gave him a glance, the impatience in it was quite
obvious.
What?
Gu Cheng Yao retracted
his gaze and hurriedly chased after Gu Hui Yan.
The idle and
miscellaneous people retreated one after another, and the servant on Gao Ran's
side obviously relaxed. Lin Wei Xi brought an inexplicable smile, walked around
the screen and walked toward Gao Ran with a smile.
Gao Ran was shocked just
now, and her mind finally relieved when Yan Wang turned around and went out.
From this point of view, Yan Wang did not discover the truth. He must have
defended Lin Wei Xi just for the face of the Wangfei.
Gao Ran saw Lin Wei Xi
come uninvited and stood directly in front of her bed. She felt uncomfortable,
but she still squeezed out a smile and said softly: "Mother, why are you
here? You must be tired today. I am very sorry. My injury is not serious, so
mother doesn't have to worry about it."
"Since you called me
mother, how could I not worried about you?" Lin Wei Xi smiled, and glanced
at Gao Ran's arm that had been applied ointment from the corner of her eyes,
"I have come to see whether Shizi Consort has injured herself badly."
TN: Sinisterly laugh!

ReplyDeleteHahaha Gao Ran! I hope you continue to scheme. The seed of doubt has already been planted, let's water it so it can grow well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update ❤️!
To have a future life knowledge doesnt mean that you are super. For example, if it is me, even reborn thousand time cant guarantee i will have the best time of my life since im sure that im so dumb hahahaha
ReplyDeleteI with ya there!! I'd flunk it 9 times out of 10. lol
Deletetrue..im dumb af, just send me as a hidden bodyguard maybe i can at least protect and die
DeleteThis so funny, I think I would be sold as a slave and be sweeper servant lol
DeleteVery true, especially when the time periods have such drastic differences. It would be impossible to immediately adjust to and accept such a huge change. It's also impossible to completely predict every single person's reaction to everything you say and do because even if humans tend to have a herd mentality, we're also still individuals and there are those who don't just follow the herd and actually clearly see the people around them.
DeleteThey say LWX's reasoning is crooked, but it's honestly not when you take her personality into account, which is a pretty important factor in determining whether someone is likely to have done a particular thing if you don't have hard evidence like a video or voice recording, documentation, or a lot of eyewitness testimony. She's already shown a number of times that if she doesn't like someone, or something they did, she will either outright say it and scold them fiercely or she'll treat them very coldly and disdainfully while maybe verbally making things a bit difficult for them. She doesn't use petty tricks to physically harm them. So when you take her personality into account, her reasoning really isn't crooked.
ReplyDeleteI'd definitely be beheaded, ancient society is too complicated for this sad modern person.
ReplyDeleteIt's quite generous of Yan Wang to overlook this matter for the sake of their dignity.
ReplyDeleteOG ML is still sticking his head in the ground, but at least he's more aware now.
Just hope that burn hurts for a long ass time.
