Chapter 91 Part 1: Worship Buddha

 

^^

 

Since Lin Wei Xi became pregnant, many information were blocked. The news of Duke Yingguo Mansion’s decision to adopt Gao Ke as di grandson did not reach her until several days later.

 

Lin Wei Xi carried around a hand stove, she sank onto the soft cushion. Hearing this news, her slender fingertips moved, and then she lowered her head to conceal the look in her eyes, silently staring at the birds and flowers’ engraving on the hand stove in her hands.

 

Although there had not official ceremony yet, Gao Ke's adoption had already been confirmed. When the ancestral hall opened in the future, Gao Ke's name would be written under Wei shi's name. From then on, Gao Ke would be Wei shi's son. Perhaps many years later, when future descendants opened the genealogical record again, only one girl named Gao Xi and another son named Gao Ke found under Wei shi. No one would know about the matter of this adoption, the unclear entanglement between Wei shi and Duke Yingguo Shizi, and the ten-year confrontation between the di wife and the concubine.

 

Lin Wei Xi lowered her eyes and after a long time she lightly sighed.

 

After this Duke Yingguo Mansion really became her past, and her entanglement as Gao Xi would be completely over. Afterwards, the Gao family and her were only nodding acquaintance in-laws.

 

At the end of Lin Wei Xi's previous life, she did not complain about her family, nor did she hate Gu Cheng Yao. She just felt regret that the last trace of her mother left in the world would also die. When she died, who else would remember Duke Yingguo Shizi Consort Wei Shi, who would burn incense for Wei shi every year on the anniversary of her death? Lin Wei Xi felt that she might be born with ungenerous personality and could not learn to be magnanimous, people already dead, why still clinging to false reputation of glory and splendor? But she was just unwilling, she would rather the title of Duke Yingguo Shizi be extinct, or leave it to an outsider, rather than had the child who killed her mother to take over the duke mansion for the rest of her life.

 

Who Gao Chen think he is?

 

But these things would have nothing to do with her in the future. She had already secretly push Gao Ke forward. It was Gao Ke's own business, whether he could defeat Gao Chen to get Shizi position, whether he could handle the relationship between the Gao Mansion and his original family, and whether he could carry forward the Gao family. Help the starving not the poor, Lin Wei Xi only carried him till here. No matter whether Gao Ke could live well in the future, Lin Wei Xi would not care anymore.

 

Wan Xing original intention was to amuse Lin Wei Xi and told the news like gossiping, but after she brought up these things, Lin Wei Xi was uncharacteristically peaceful. Wan Yue felt strange, she watched Lin Wei Xi carefully. Lin Wei Xi lowered her head, stared at the silver hand stove in silence for a while, and sighed a moment later. Although the sigh was low and inaudible, but the mental knot on Lin Wei Xi's brows seemed to disperse, and the whole person became transparent and light, as if the shackles on Lin Wei Xi's body had finally shattered.

 

Wan Yue felt a bit touched in her heart. Although she didn't understand why Lin Wei Xi was like this, when she saw Wangfei thoroughly came out from the past she was still very happy for Lin Wei Xi. Now that Yan Wang and Lin Wei Xi had a strong relationship, Wangfei Shen's barrier had been resolved, and the future little master also quietly reside in Lin Wei Xi's belly, everything was developing in a good direction. Wan Yue truly hoped that Wangye and Wangfei would be well.

 

Wan Xing didn't notice this. Seeing that Lin Wei Xi hadn't spoken for a long time, she felt nervous, and her chatter gradually stopped. Lin Wei Xi returned to her senses and raised her head to look at Wan Xing, with a smile in her eyes: "Why you don’t speak anymore?"

 

Wan Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and her tone immediately rise up: "Wangfei, Grand Princess Ru Ning invites you to go to Huangjue Temple to offer incense."

 

Huangjue Temple was a monastery dedicated to the imperial family. It was the most popular place for imperial princesses and concubines. Lin Wei Xi thought for a while, and asked, "When?"

 

"The twentieth."

 

Lin Wei Xi had now passed the most dangerous first three months, and her pregnancy had gradually stabilized. She also wanted to go out and walk around to get some fresh air. Moreover, this period of times was really eventful. Duke Yingguo Shizi unexpectedly died, and the court also quite uneasy. Lin Wei Xi wanted to take this opportunity to offer incense to Lin Yong, Wei Shi and others, and also to pray for Grand Princess Shou Kang and the baby in her belly, wishing in the coming year everyone would be happy and healthy. Now that there were not many people around her, she sincerely wanted them all to be well.

 

Lin Wei Xi said: "Since it is the Grand Princess's invitation, we have no reason to refuse. You send someone to answer the princess."

 

Wan Xing responded, turned around and went out to give orders, her set of movements were sharp and nimble.

 

Now who would think that Wan Xing and Wan Yue were both bought from the outside. Although Wan Yue was a servant of an official family, but in the eyes of people in the capital, what was the difference between a maid of a magistrate in a small remote county and a rural people?

 

However, step by step, Wan Xing and Wan Yue also metamorphosed into another appearance, and now they were both maidservants in the famous Yan Wang Mansion in the capital.

 

Lin Wei Xi set up the itinerary to leave the mansion, and didn’t care about the rest. On the twentieth, Lin Wei Xi boarded the carriage with many escorts.

 

When Wangfei went out, Gao Ran also had to accompany her. She was sitting in another carriage, listening to the rhythm of the wheels, slowly drove away from Yan Wang Mansion.

 

When Lin Wei Xi arrived, Grand Princess Ru Ning's carriage also happened to stop. When Grand Princess Ru Ning saw Lin Wei Xi she immediately greet her with a smile, enthusiastically shook Lin Wei Xi's hand: "It is not easy to see Yan Wangfei, how can Yan Wang willing to let you out today?" As Grand Princess Ru Ning said this she looked back, and then cried out in surprise: "Huh, Yan Wang didn't come along? He actually feel at ease his jade figurine Wangfei went out alone? It seems the sun has come out from the west."

 

Lin Wei Xi smiled, ignoring Grand Princess Ru Ning’s joke, but explained: "Wangye has an urgent matter today and was called away early in the morning. I’m not without hands and feet, how can I unable to walk without him?"

 

"It's not the same." Grand Princess Ru Ning smiled. "He doesn't say anything, but he must remember it in his heart. Who doesn't know that Yan Wang has been working hard in the past 20 years. But in these few days, he has been absent from training and taking leave from the court early, is it not for the newly pregnant Wangfei. Actually, I can’t blame Yan Wang, if I have a beautiful and charming Wangfei like you, I’m also unwilling to let you out of the gate, wishing to be together with you all day.

 

Everyone who heard this all laughed. Lin Wei Xi was often teased after she got married. At first she was too shy to say anything. Now she was used to it, and she could respond with a few words to this kind of marriage dialogue without changing her face. It was precisely because people felt secure to say this and Lin Wei Xi knew they always joke like this because she had a good relationship with Yan Wang, otherwise why in the previous life, no one ever teased her and Gu Cheng Yao.
