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!

    4. Very 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.

  3. They 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.

  5. It's quite generous of Yan Wang to overlook this matter for the sake of their dignity.
    OG 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.
