Chapter 77 Part 1: Heir

 

^^

 

Gu Hui Yan only came back when the night curfew was approaching. Lin Wei Xi helped him unfastened the hidden buttons on his court dress. She couldn’t help but complained: "Wangye, what’s bothering you today that made you only come back now?"

 

These Lin Wei Xi’s word if looked carefully was very disrespectful to the Emperor and the First Assistant, but Gu Hui Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard them: "It's them that are not good, and Wangfei should not be angry."

 

Lin Wei Xi was patted on the head, suddenly thought it was not a good idea to continue to make trouble. She had already taken off the outside ornament, then she embraced Gu Hui Yan's waist, her fingers nimbly untied the leather belt around his waist. Now Lin Wei Xi was very accustomed in taking off men's court dress, and she was no longer unfamiliar with these leather belts. She placed the leather belt on the maid’s tray, stood on her toes slightly, and unfastened the hidden buckle on his shoulder and neck.

 

Gu Hui Yan was very familiar with Lin Wei Xi's movements, and the two have a tacit understanding, like moving clouds and flowing water (tn: very natural), it was indescribably harmonious and beautiful. Gu Hui Yan changed into homewear robes, the maids held the replaced court dress and withdrew. After the court dress was washed and put on incense, they could be sent in again. When changing clothes, the maids just stood on the side to receive the clothes. Only Lin Wei Xi who really did the work. Now that Yan Wang’s clothes have been changed, the maids very tactfully retired and left the space for Wangye and Wangfei.

 

Lin Wei Xi sat on the Arhat bed, picked a few cherries from the colored glaze cup, and casually offered them to Gu Hui Yan's mouth. Gu Hui Yan lowered his eyes to see, Lin Wei Xi's delicate fingers pinched the red cherries, couldn't tell which one looks better.

 

Lin Wei Xi thought that Gu Hui Yan didn’t want to eat it, softly snorted and took it back to eat herself. Gu Hui Yan watched Lin Wei Xi pick out cherries from the gorgeous glass bowl across the short table. The delicate fingers against the cherries, made people particularly have appetite.

 

His throat moved, and he reached out to wipe the red stains from the corners of Lin Wei Xi’s lips: "Why are you look like a cat."

 

Lin Wei Xi didn't care, instead, she dislike that Gu Hui Yan wiped her mouth for too long, it delayed her from eating cherries. Lin Wei Xi held his hand and pushed it away. Gu Hui Yan's fingertips still had the lingering of that delicate and soft touch. He put his hand under the table and rubbed his fingertips, feeling a little regretful.

 

Lin Wei Xi leisurely picked up the cherries and said to Gu Hui Yan: "Wangye, Shizi Consort is back."

 

Gu Hui Yan just nodded, he heard about it on the way back. These people were actually perceptive and knew how to follow Lin Wei Xi's way. Since Lin Wei Xi brought the people back, Gu Hui Yan didn't bother to care about them.

 

Lin Wei Xi always told Gu Hui Yan about the big and small things in the mansion every day. Although Gu Hui Yan might already know it, this was what she as a wife should do. Gu Hui Yan also secretly supported this move. These things although trivial but true, especially when it was spoken from Lin Wei Xi's mouth, it gave him a strong sense of home.

 

Of course, he had this feeling, it might also because it came from Lin Wei Xi's mouth, not because of these trivial matters. Since meeting Lin Wei Xi, Gu Hui Yan had developed a new hobby. He liked listening to Lin Wei Xi, especially when she was scolding people. Lin Wei Xi chattered about her achievement today, Gu Hui Yan's eyes were smiling, just watching her quietly.

 

After Lin Wei Xi finished speaking, with a deliberate thought of provoking things, she asked: "That Yin Yang pot’s matter, Wangye do you know everything?"

 

Gu Hui Yan was also there when Lin Wei Xi demonstrated the Yin Yang pot that day. Later, Lin Wei Xi didn't take care the rest, but Gu Hui Yan must have grasped the whole matter. Gu Hui Yan did not answer, but asked: "What are you asking this for?"

 

"I'm just curious."

 

Gu Hui Yan looked at Lin Wei Xi with a clear smile in his eyes. Lin Wei Xi refused to admit defeat, and tenaciously said, "I just felt weird at the time, so I asked Wan Yue to take the wine pot to look at it. After that I don't know anything. Wangye, if you only heard half of something, aren’t you curious about the rest of it?"

 

Gu Hui Yan laughed, as if he didn't see through Lin Wei Xi's wickedness, if she was really only curious then just asked Gao Ran. Gu Hui Yan said: "The following things are meaningless, you don't need to know. Just know that similar things won't happen again."

 

Of course Lin Wei Xi didn't want to just listen tp the follow-up. What she really wanted to know was that Gu Cheng Yao received punishment, but Gao Ran's wrongdoing was more serious, didn’t she need it too?

 

"Then... this thing just passed like that?"

 

In fact, Gu Hui Yan was very displeased with the current Shizi Consort, her mind was malicious, and also used very insidious means. If she was vicious but courageous and strategic, Gu Hui Yan would rather look up at her. Unfortunately no, just insidious tricks to falsely accused woman of adultery and frame someone up. Gu Hui Yan could accept crafty plot and machinations, or not caring about one’s family, but he was disgusted with evil schemes.

 

But Gu Cheng Yao married her, what could he do? What Gao Ran did, just double the punishment on Gu Cheng Yao. People should always responsible for their own decisions. Gu Hui Yan said: "I only settle everything with the person in power. I don't care how they handle it internally."

 

In other words, he would not care about Gao Ran anymore.

 

Hearing this Lin Wei Xi was not surprised. This was the way Yan Wang acted. She had seen it before when she was in Shunde prefecture. At that time, Lin Yong’s reward was detained so badly that even the Jin Shu Iron Deed were swallowed by that dog county official. However, Gu Hui Yan didn’t say anything when he learned about it. He didn’t give a slightest punishment to the county officials who were so scared to death. He just wrote directly to First Assistant Zhang.

 

It's the same this time. Gu Hui Yan would not punish Gao Ran, he would only accumulate the account on Gu Cheng Yao. As for how Gu Cheng Yao treated Gao Ran after he return, what does this have to do with Gu Hui Yan?
