Chapter 74 Part 2: The Past

Han shi quickly recovered. She clasped Gao Ran's hand and said: "Child, for the sake of this plan, you need to give birth to an heir as soon as possible. As long as you have a son by your side, even if son-in-law have many orioles and swallows, you will not be afraid. Tomorrow, I will take you to find the old madam, and let the old madam talk to your mother-in-law. You this primary wife returned to her maiden house, but son-in-law did not move at all. He treated you so lightly. You should let your mother-in-law support you to vent your anger."

 

Gao Ran's expression was obviously awkward: "Go and beg her?"

 

"Don't be stubborn, she is the Wangfei. Her son and daughter-in-law are in conflict, isn’t she as the mother-in-law should be in charge? Tomorrow you are going to follow mother to find the old madam. You will be gentle in front of her and admit your mistakes. Let your grandmother invite Yan Wangfei to come and ask for favor. When Yan Wangfei is a guest, you will serve at her side, and in the evening you will be able to follow her back to Yan Wang Mansion. You can't just waste your time at your maiden house, you will be laughed at."

 

Even if Gao Ran was reluctant, she knew that this was the only way to go. However, when she thought that she had to smilingly plead to Lin Wei Xi, she still felt uncomfortable all over.

 

The next day, Han shi got up early and went to pay respect to the Duke Yingguo old madam. The old madam reclined on the Arhat bed. Han shi served the old madam to rinse her mouth and eat. Later, she personally took the beauty hammer from the maid’s hand and massage the old madam’s leg in a familiar manner: "Old ancestor, you see the third girl have stayed at home for several days. She, this young daughter-in-law has a thin-skin and has a conflict with son-in-law. She is not sure what to do. You see, what could you teach her?"

 

Gao Ran stood up when she heard the words, and stood in front of the Duke Yingguo old madam with her hands down: "Thanking grandmother for the teachings."

 

In fact, the old madam was also anxious and angry these few days, but she was holding her old ancestor's air, and refused to take the initiative to talk about this matter. It should be others who asked first, then she could condescendingly point out one or two: "What's the matter with you and Shizi, actually make you come back to your maiden house?"

 

"Shizi wants to take a personal maid as a concubine. That maid has served Shizi for more than ten years and is very popular in the mansion. Because of her age, she doesn't put me in her eyes, and repeatedly picks things up. I couldn’t put up with it any longer and said a few sentence. Although Shizi sent the person away, he still have a grudge with me."

 

How could Duke Yingguo old madam know that in Gao Ran's mouth, the truth of the matter had completely changed. She was surprised when she heard these words. She thought that Yan Wang Mansion’s Shizi had a deep affection for Gao Ran, and now he seemed like an ordinary man. In this way, Gao Ran couldn't stay in the duke mansion even more. Otherwise, if she stayed in her maiden house for ten days to half a month then the orioles and swallows on Shizi’s side over there was left unattended, and the opportunity to get pregnant would be in jeopardy.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam said: "Well, since you are asking me sincerely, then I will come forward for you once. The most important thing for a woman is to be chaste and submissive. You shouldn’t be narrow-minded and jealous. In the future you are not allowed to drive away the concubines. Understand?"

 

"Yes."

 

Seeing Gao Ran's docile appearance, the old madam couldn't help but soften, and said: "It happens that the Duke Mansion has set up a stage play these past few days. This old body will write a post and invite Yan Wangfei to come to our mansion to see the play. I know that you and Shizi are young couple with deep feelings, and in your eyes there are no room for another woman. But every woman are like this. If those tongfang and small concubines are really too much, you go ask Yan Wangfei to give you justice."

 

Everyone instructed her to ask Lin Wei Xi, as if she pleased Lin Wei Xi, all her problems would be easily solved. But Gao Ran and Lin Wei Xi were obviously the same age, and even half a year ago, Lin Wei Xi was the one who took shelter in Yan Wang Mansion. Gao Ran was indignant at this gap, but no matter how dissatisfied she was, she had to admit that it was a fact.

After Wan Yue entered the door, she saw the gold invitation at the table. She glanced at it from a distance and was surprised: "It turned out to be sent by the Duke Yingguo Mansion? What did their family invite Wangfei for?"

 

"What else, Shizi Consort went back to her family home to find someone to support her, and now she must find a reason to come back." Wan Xing said.

 

Yes, Gao Ran overbearingly returned to her maiden house, but after a few days, Yan Wang Mansion didn't care about her at all. This was very embarrassing. Even if Gao Ran was embarrassed and lost face, she still had to set herself up to please Lin Wei Xi and let Lin Wei Xi bring her back.

 

Wan Yue understood, and asked: "Wangfei, are you going then?"

 

Lin Wei Xi sighed. She actually didn't want to go, but Duke Yingguo old madam who was forty or fifty years older than her personally handed over the invitation, at least she need to give this much face. Lin Wei Xi said: "Push back the arrangements for that day. I will personally make a trip to the Duke Yingguo Mansion."

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue got the order, after answering they went out to make the arrangements. On the day of the invitation, Lin Wei Xi's carriage drove slowly and steadily to the Duke Yingguo Mansion under the guard of many attendants.

 

This was the first time since Lin Wei Xi's rebirth she was visiting, or should it said, returning to the Duke Yingguo Mansion. She sat upright in the carriage, her thoughts drifting away.

 

In the original ending of the Book of Heaven, the vicious sister and ex-wife lost everything, the hero and heroine lived happily together, and the heroine's younger brother became the glorious Duke Yingguo. Gao Ran and Gao Chen this brother and sister had completely changed their shu backgrounds, no matter where all stars cup themselves around the moon, Han shi thus became the official relatives of the duke mansion.

 

The primary wife Wei shi, di daughter Gao Xi, and the genuine relative of Duke Yingguo’s Shizi Grand Princess Shou Kang, were all annihilated in the torrent. When people talked about the ancient times, they would be joked and belittled by storytellers.

 

Lin Wei Xi even knew that Gao Chen would place the tablet of Han shi in the center of the ancestral hall in the future, standing side by side with Wei shi. Later, Wei shi's memorial tablet would be unmanned without worship for a long time, in the end it was lost. Han shi’ grandeur replaced the real Shizi Consort Wei shi’s position.

 

Lin Wei Xi told herself are those who was called prince and general more noble than others? People rise and fall. This was the Heaven’s law cycle. But thinking that Han shi would replace her mother's status, she still clenched her fists tightly.

 

Lin Wei Xi, are you really willing?
