I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 49 Part 1: Disagreement

 

^^

 

Bu Mama accepted the result on the surface transfer but in actually demotion, especially after Granny Zhao got the heavy punishment of being expelled from the mansion because she took bribes. Bu Mama originally already mentally prepared. If Lin Wei Xi used the same method to deal with her, then she would incited many servants in the mansion to make trouble. But she didn't expect that compared to her previous momentum Lin Wei Xi's actual outburst was only a little thunder and rain.

 

Although she was demoted from the inner courtyard of the mansion to Qingsong Garden, but Qingsong Garden was the place where Shizi lived. The importance was self-evident. Bu Mama said nothing when she heard this. Of course, there was no need to organize people to make trouble. And Gu Cheng Yao was greatly relieved when he heard this. Bu Mama was indeed at fault, but if Lin Wei Xi acted as she pleased, Gu Cheng Yao would be unwilling. Fortunately, Lin Wei Xi just transferred Bu Mama to Qingsong Garden. For Gu Cheng Yao, this transfer had no effect. He was brought up under the care of Bu Mama, so he had no opinion on this.

 

Both Gu Cheng Yao and Bu Mama were satisfied, and the only person present who was dissatisfied with the result was Gao Ran. Gao Ran never expected that Lin Wei Xi would give her such a hand.

 

Lin Wei Xi refused to personally deal with the people, so she stuffed Bu Mama into Gao Ran's courtyard. Once the male master gets married, the power in the inner courtyard should belong to his wife. In the past Bu Mama liked to point fingers in Qingsong Garden, but in the end they didn’t live together. Bu Mama was also busy with other internal affairs of the mansion. Gao Ran originally planned to make a compromise, and after enduring it for a period of time, she would seek a momentum to destroy Bu Mama’s position in Gu Cheng Yao's heart and gradually ruin Bu shi. However, this did not include letting Bu shi moved to their courtyard. Qingsong Garden already had her Shizi Consort, and if there was another chief steward, then who people should listen to?

 

Gao Ran was stunned by this result, but in front of Bu Mama and Gu Cheng Yao, what could she say? Gao Ran was speechless, but Bu Mama and Gu Cheng Yao were happy with it. This Lin Wei Xi was really evil, she decided the matter without giving Gao Ran a chance to react.

 

Only Gu Hui Yan glanced meaningfully at Lin Wei Xi.

 

Gu Cheng Yao didn’t see the subtle struggle, but Gu Hui Yan understood it. Lin Wei Xi's move was really brilliant, even more brilliant than shifting the troubles in the officialdom. With such a simple action, she was not only appeased the servants in the mansion, showed that she was completely not involved with Shizi’s internal affair to avoid suspicion, took back the power of the mansion’s internal affairs, and conveniently drove a wedge between the other party. Gao Ran and Bu Mama at the moment seemed to be harmonious, because there was no contradiction, the two people target Lin Wei Xi together. However, there was no contradiction now, how about when they lived together?

 

It was inevitable there would be a crack. When the conflicts and frictions were so intense that they couldn't be covered up, Lin Wei Xi didn't have to bother, Gao Ran and Bu Mama would revealed themselves first. Letting the enemy battalion split itself without spending a single soldier was a brilliant calculation of a military strategist.

 

It seemed that his Wangfei was very scheming, Gu Hui Yan just smiled and said nothing. Lin Wei Xi didn't pay attention to the glance Gu Hui Yan throw at her, and she was full of joy now. In her previous life, she suffered a lot from Bu Mama. This old woman, relying on her age and seniority, actually meddled in the newlyweds’ room matters, but now it’s all good. The two old acquaintances from her previous life had come together.

 

Weren’t Gao Ran and Mama Bu always harmonious and respectful not like master and servant? Didn’t you look down on Gao Xi’s uprightness, and now they were ganging up to squeeze her this new Wangfei? Since in Gao Ran’s eyes her mother-in-law was only Shen shi, then take care this Shen shi’s meritorious servant, Lin Wei Xi sincerely wishes them a happy time together.

 

It's getting late now, the color of the sky was already dark. Now no one had the thought to eat, Lin Wei Xi made a decision for Yan Wang, canceling today's dinner, and for them to return to each courtyard to have dinner. The people in Jingcheng Courtyard left one after another, and the kitchen delivered the meals to the room. Lin Wei Xi took advantage of when the maid’s prepared the meals and whispered to Wan Yue to get the keys and the matched cards.

 

All the keys to the mansion were in Bu Mama’s hand, and the matched cards for taking stuffs from the treasury was also kept by her. It’s easy to invite the Buddha but it’s difficult to send off the Buddha. Who would be willing to spit what they have. Normally, it’s too difficult to retrieve the key from Bu Mama, but today Bu Mama had offend Yan Wang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Wei Xi certainly needed to strike the iron while it was hot and took the things back to her own hands.

 

Of course Bu Mama refused to hand over the key, but she did not dare to make trouble at this moment. If it’s alarmed Yan Wang, it would not end with just a fine of a monthly salary. No matter how unwilling, Bu Mama could only take out the key and the matched card box, and threw it to Wan Yue.

 

Wan Yue didn't care about Bu Mama's black face. After checking everything was in order, she ran back to the main courtyard quickly. Lin Wei Xi had been waiting in the side house. After seeing what was in Wan Yue's hand, she let out a relaxed sigh.

 

It was only then she became the actual mistress of the Yan Wang Mansion. The keys to the courtyards and warehouses were in her own hands. To hold the lifeline in her hand, only then she had the confidence to speak. Lin Wei Xi couldn't help but feeling very good. After looking at it one more time, she let Wan Xing and Wan Yue put it away, and she got up and walked to the main house.

 

She did not dare to forget that Yan Wang was still waiting for her to have dinner.

 

Gu Hui Yan was sitting at the table when he saw Lin Wei Xi enter the door with a smile on her face. During the meal, Lin Wei Xi was beaming, obviously in a good mood. He took it all in but didn't point it out. When there were only two of them in the room at night, Gu Hui Yan said casually: "Today was hard on you."

 

Lin Wei Xi went on alert, she couldn't help but put her smile away: "I don't dare."

 

Seeing Lin Wei Xi's tense look, Gu Hui Yan couldn't help but laugh: "I don’t mean to question you, you don't have to be nervous."

 

Lin Wei Xi cooperated with Gu Hui Yan's words and relaxed her body, but her heart still held on tightly.

 

Gu Hui Yan could also see that Lin Wei Xi was very defensive now. He really felt helpless. He was not a man-eating tiger. Why should husband and wife be so defensive? Between her and a servant, could he still sided with other people?

TN: I noticed that some of the link on the site doesn't work, it's a combination between drunk blogspot and ditzy internet connection with a dash of my sloppiness. I already fixed the one that people pointed out, but if there's more please tell me and I'll fix it asap.
