I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 91 Part 2: Worship Buddha

 

^^

 

Lin Wei Xi and Princess Ru Ning walked inside while talking and laughing. Huangjue Temple knew that today the Princess and Yan Wangfei were coming, already at earlier time cleared the hall. Inside the hall with Buddha smoke spirally rising, Lin Wei Xi held the incense and slowly knocked her head three times. Silently said in her heart: "Mother, you have adopted a son under your name. That child is very smart and ambitious. If you see him in the future, I think you will like him."

 

"Mother, father has also passed away. It is ridiculous to say that you lost blood and ruined your body because of a miscarriage. He had been overbearing for so many years, and finally died also because of blood loss. You two will meet under the nine springs. If you are willing, continue being husband and wife with him, if you’re not, then you two should separate, each to be safe and sound. This unfilial daughter hopes that mother and father will have spirits in the sky and when you are reborn to have peaceful and healthy life."

 

Lin Wei Xi knocked her head, and when she straightened up, she closed her eyes and whispered again: "Daddy Lin Yong, Lin family’s mother, I am very grateful for the kindness of you two. In this life, I will always give the offerings for you two. May you two will live smoothly in the afterlife. This time, your whole family must be together for a long time."

 

For the last wish, Lin Wei Xi said it to her unborn child. "Mother doesn't know if you are a boy or a girl, but you are the treasure of your mother's two lifetimes. Mother hopes that you will come early, but mother also afraid that you will come too soon. Your mother has not yet learn how to be a mother. But as long as this Lin Wei Xi is alive for one day, I will certainly exhaust all of my strength to be good to you."

 

Lin Wei Xi worshiped three times, with a very pious posture. She looked solemn and slowly inserted the incense into the incense burner.

 

Although Ru Ning was a princess, but she was also extremely believe in Gods and Buddhas. After the incense offering was over, Grand Princess Ru Ning wanted to follow immediately with listening to the scriptures. Lin Wei Xi was pregnant now and unwilling to sit for a long time, so she politely declined Grand Princess Ru Ning’s invitation.

 

The novice monk in Huangjue Temple carefully led Lin Wei Xi. After walking out of the main hall’ gate, the novice monk asked: "Benefactor can go ask for a fortune stick."

 

Lin Wei Xi came to the Buddhist temple just to seek a peace of mind. She didn't believe thing like that, but for some reason, her refusal had reached the tip of her tongue, but she took it back again.

 

"Very well, thank you for your trouble master."

 

It suddenly occurred to Lin Wei Xi that Gu Hui Yan had been fighting for so many years, it was unknown how many large and small wounds on his body, as well as the obvious and hidden injuries. The current political situation also was not peaceful. As the auxiliary Qinwang, Gu Hui Yan was the one standing at the center of the vortex. Even if she could use the excuse of being pregnant to shield him one or two times, the most important part still need Gu Hui Yan to come out personally. She wanted to ask a safety talisman for Gu Hui Yan.

 

With this, Lin Wei Xi's thoughts seemed to suddenly open. Grand Princess Shou Kang, the friend and relatives she had good relationship with... She wanted to ask for a safety talisman for each of these people, even if it was just for peace of mind.

 

Lin Wei Xi went to pray for the safety of her relatives and friends. After it was over, a long time had passed. Lin Wei Xi held a thick pile of peach talismans, standing in the bright and cold October’ sunshine, feeling unprecedentedly sad.

 

It turned out before she knew it, she had so much concern after rebirth.

 

Wan Yue had been following Lin Wei Xi closely. Seeing Lin Wei Xi standing still in the autumn wind for a long time, she stepped forward to support Lin Wei Xi's arm, and whispered softly: "Wangfei, it’s cold in the late autumn, let this slave help you sit in the guest room for a while."

 

Now no one in the mansion dared to let Lin Wei Xi stand for a long time. Lin Wei Xi returned to her senses, nodded gently and agreed.

 

As an imperial monastery, Huangjue Temple had long prepared clean and quiet rooms for the womenfolk of various mansion. Lin Wei Xi sat in the guest room while waiting for Grand Princess Ru Ning. After sitting for a while, she suddenly frowned, "Where is Shizi Consort?"

 

When praying to the Buddha, they had to be meditative, so all of them were separately offering incense. After that, she was busy asking for safety talisman, so she didn't notice where Gao Ran went.

 

Wan Xing ran outside and asked a few words, then came back and said: "Today the ladies of the Duke Yingguo Mansion are also here, Shizi Consort perhaps went to talk to her family."

 

By such a coincidence, Duke Yingguo Mansion also came. Although Huangjue Temple had been closed to normal visitor, but Duke Yingguo Mansion and Yan Wang Mansion were in-law, and they had to at least give this much face. Lin Wei Xi didn't think much, just listened to it. When Grand Princess Ru Ning finally came back from listening the scriptures, the two of them sat down for a while and then walked out together. Lin Wei Xi sent someone to call Gao Ran back while she slowly accompanied Princess Ru Ning out. On the way out of the temple, coincidently Lin Wei Xi met the Duke Yingguo Mansion head-on.

 

"Greetings Yan Wangfei, Grand Princess Ru Ning." The Gao second lady greeted them from a long distance away, with a smile on her face. "We just said we are going to visit Yan Wangfei, but we met halfway on the way. Wangfei and Grand Princess are leaving now?"

 

Gao Ran quickly stepped forward to salute Lin Wei Xi: "Mother."

 

Lin Wei Xi glanced at Gao Ran, and nodded slightly to Duke Yingguo Mansion’s people and smiled faintly: "I can't sit outside for too long, so I want to go back quickly. If the Guo Mansion is interested, you can walk slowly in the temple. It's just Shizi Consort, if you have something to say to your maiden family, telling it slowly later won’t be too late, but now we have to go back."

 

Gao Ran lowered her head and apologize humbly: "It is this daughter-in-law who forget her manner, talking to her maiden sisters, and forgot the time. Please mother give punishment."

 

Lin Wei Xi glanced at her, too lazy to take care Gao Ran’s little tricks. In front of everyone, could she really punish her? Lin Wei Xi said indifferently: "Let's not repeat it, get up."

 

Gao Ran complied, and submissively followed after Lin Wei Xi. Everyone from Duke Yingguo Mansion was embarrassed to see this scene. Gao Ran was the best married daughter in their family. Which sisters and aunts who weren’t carefully flatter Gao Ran, but in front of Lin Wei Xi, Gao Ran didn't even dare to speak loudly.

 

Gao second lady muttered in her heart, strange, usually she never saw Gao Ran being sticky to her maiden family, but today she pulled them away to talk for a long time, but she didn't say anything important. They had long said they would come to pay respect to Yan Wangfei, but they were interrupted by Gao Ran, until Wangfei's people came to find her, only then Gao brought them out together.

 

Gao second lady mumbled to herself, then throw these thoughts to the back of her mind. Gao Ke was now regarded as half people of the mansion. The sisters and aunts come out to worship Buddha. As the younger generation man, of course he must accompany them. Now everyone was walking outside the temple together, Gao Ke found an opportunity and stepped forward to salute Lin Wei Xi: "Yan Wangfei."

 

Gao Ke in all aspects was very suitable to be an heir. Since the last time Lin Wei Xi gave him three months payment of private tutor, Gao Ke had been very meticulously befriending Lin Wei Xi. Lin Wei Xi also didn't care one way or the other. She glanced back, and the waves flow in her eyes were unspeakably beautiful: "Gao Juren1."

 

Gao Ke had already been promoted in the Autumn Examination two months ago, and because he hadn’t reach adulthood yet, he became the youngest Juren in the capital.

 

"Wangfei's words this one doesn’t deserve it. This junior reached today all because relying on Wangfei to give charcoal in the snow, Wangfei's grace this junior will not forget, how dare to be called like this by Wangfei."

 

"How can you not dare? Although I gave you three months of tutor tuitions, but to pass the provincial imperial examination, ultimately rely on your talent and learning. You are only sixteen years old but already a Juren, you can afford the name of a genius."

 

Gao Ke was still humble. Although he was respectful to Lin Wei Xi, his words and deeds reveal a sense of closeness, not the kind of cold and alienated respect. Such a good attitude was also a test of the person’s ability.

 

Lin Wei Xi smiled gently in her heart, and walked outside the mountain gate surrounded by everyone. Outside there was a person standing with his back facing them, with the sun shone on him, pulling his body to a very clear and slender silhouette. Hearing the sound, he turned around, his eyes seemed to carelessly fell on Lin Wei Xi, but quickly moved away: "Mother."

 

"Shizi?" Gao second lady wondered, "Why are you here?"





1 Juren, successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination.

    1. Would be too simple imo, especially when she used something similar before LWX was married
      I'm thinking that she's going to show that Gao Ke plotted against Yan Wang and used LWX as a tool. In this, she might try to injure the kid or Gao Ke, it would be a win-win for her.

      Please don't hate me but I've read too many C-Novel plots by now

  3. Thank you for this chapter. As long as GR doesn’t harm LWX and baby, I can tolerate but I think she is upto no good and if the Gao family is smart they better dont fall into her scheme. Gao Ke is a good and respectful guy. He will go far.
