I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 94 Part 1: Sentencing

 

^^

 

Gao Ran's face was completely pale.

 

She didn't expect Gao Ke to guess that there was a problem with the scent, and she didn't expect that Yan Wang knew about this fodder. This was what she found out when she especially crammed the horse racing knowledge in order to integrate into the circle in her previous life. Before the start of the horse racing, the racer deliberately fed them some special fodder in order to stimulate the horses, and by coincidence, she knew that horses in a manic state were particularly sensitive to certain scent. Gao Ran combined the two to design this accident. She asked Han shi to secretly mix the fodder into Gao Ke's sachet, and then she herself wore the guiding spice and led the horse towards her. As a daughter-in-law, of course she had to be with her mother-in-law at all times. Lin Wei Xi was right in front of her.

 

When Gao Ran learned that Lin Wei Xi want to go out, she sent a message to her family and asked Duke Yingguo Mansion to go worship Buddha together. And when she was at Huangjue Temple, Gao Ran deliberately ran to talk to the Gao family. She did this to control the two groups of people to leave at the same time, so that they could meet at the entrance of the Buddhist temple. In this way, Gao Ke’s horse would "accidently" run to Lin Wei Xi.

 

It would be great if Lin Wei Xi could have a miscarriage because of this. Gao Ran deliberately blocked Lin Wei Xi's way that day, but she didn't expect Gu Cheng Yao to rescue Lin Wei Xi, and she didn't expect that Yan Wang would suddenly appear and shot the crazy horse to death in front of everybody. Gao Ran felt it was a pity, but for the time being she left Lin Wei Xi alone, it was more important to solve her brother's crisis first.

 

With this matter Gao Ke would inevitably angered Yan Wang. It wouldn’t be easy to save his life, let alone his future? For the sake of safety, Duke Yingguo Mansion would not dare to let Gao Ke become the Shizi.

 

Gao Ran felt that her strategy was seamless. Afterwards, she burned the sachet on her body, and then let people secretly replaced Gao Ke's sachet, everything should left no trace. However, Gao Ran didn't expect Gao Ke would guess right away that there was a problem with the sachet. He handed the sachet to Yan Wang in private, Gao Ran who waited outside knew nothing. Gao Ran didn't even think that Yan Wang also knew that there was a unique fodder that could make horses go crazy, and horses that go crazy may be sensitive to certain scent.

 

Gu Cheng Yao stared at Gao Ran with a good look. Although she didn’t say anything, Gu Cheng Yao understood Gao Ran's face. For a while Gu Cheng Yao couldn't understand the feeling in his heart, maybe he was too shocked, he could only feel a slight confusion.

 

Gu Cheng Yao still couldn't believe that his wife, his second wife that he had to marry regardless his reputation, would do such a thing. Just because she was afraid that the stepmother would give birth to a son, she would use all means to cause her mother-in-law to have a miscarriage.

       

She didn't even know the sex of the fetus in Lin Wei Xi's belly, just an illusory hint, how could Gao Ran did such a thing?

 

Gu Cheng Yao's eyes were fixed on Gao Ran, his eyes darkened, seemed unbelievable, but also hiddenly angry: "Why do you do this kind of thing? I clearly warned you before."

 

"I..." Gao Ran's lips moved, her heart was too confuse, her survival instinct told her to argue, but her brain was in such a mess that she couldn't get her head around it!

 

She could not be charged with this crime, whether it was to harm Lin Wei Xi or designing Gao Ke, once the name was confirmed, she would offend both Yan Wang Mansion and Duke Yingguo Mansion. Convicted by her maiden’s family and her husband’s family, how could a woman survive?

 

"I don't, I don't know anything, what spices and fodder? I don't know what you are talking about." Gao Ran said incoherently, she also aware that such a defense had no strength. Her brains turned so fast, what she need to say, what she need say to wash her crime?

 

Gao Ran's eyes gradually filled with mist, and sobbingly looked at Gu Cheng Yao: "Shizi, it's not me, you have to believe me."

 

Gao Ran could also be regarded as a noble beauty in the capital. Usually she moved gently and softly, and now she looked at people with the mist in her eyes, became more and more pitiful and weak. But the person she was looking at was not moved. Gu Cheng Yao's face was cold. He stared at Gao Ran for a long time, suddenly stepped back, pressed his lips and turned his face away, and refused to look at Gao Ran again.

 

Gao Ran felt cold, suddenly lost the strength in her legs, and fell to the ground.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam had already stood up in shock, her eyes widened, she looked at Gu Cheng Yao in amazement, then turned woodenly to Gao Ran, who was sitting on the ground, and had long lost the ability to react.

 

"Third girl, you..." Duke Yingguo old madam’s mouth was half-opened, her lips moved for a long time before she said a complete sentence, "Is this really what you did?"

 

Gao Ke stood by the side, and answered indifferently: "The old madam can disbelieve others, but can still not believe in Yan Wang? The magnificent Yan Wang, is it possible to accuse wrongly an inner house woman?"

 

Gu Hui Yan sat at the center of red sandalwood chairs in the hall, high above, without saying a word, watching the scene coldly. Perhaps he heard Gao Ke's words, Gu Hui Yan tapped his fingers of the wooden handle, and the attendant who stood by the side understood, and in a flash brought two sachets.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam recognized that one of them was Gao Ke’s, and the other was a soft silk brocade with a strangely proportioned but inexplicably cute cat embroidery with multicolored threads. The corners of the sachet had been scorched, and the other half of the cat’s face couldn’t be seen clearly, and could only guess its original appearance from the remaining parts.

 

Of course, the old madam knew such a unique embroidery style. Gao Ran had always has some whimsical ideas since she was six years old. These pattern that had big head and small body, which she called cartoon, were very popular with children in the family. Gao Ran also sent many similar embroidery to the old madam, some of which were still displayed in her main hall.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam could no longer deceive herself. She looked at Gao Ran and pointed her cane at her in disbelief: "It's really you! Are you crazy? For your own self-interest, you don't hesitate to frame Guo Mansion’s chosen successor. How many times have I told you before, no matter if it di or shu, as long as it is our own child, Guo Mansion will not slight them. As long as he is adopted, Gao Ke is your brother from the same clan, even if Gao Chen is not the Shizi, but he is also my grandson, the young master of our Duke Yingguo Mansion! Why are you so obsessed!"

 

As Duke Yingguo old madam said this her blood was rushing forth. She always felt that this granddaughter was soft on the outside and ruthless on the inside, both had its own benefits, the kind of material that could overcome major event. But the old madam didn't expect that when Gao Ran calculated for her own interests, she could even start with her maiden relatives. That's the Guo Mansion where she was born and raised! The Guo Mansion where she grew up with the most exquisite meals and the most gorgeous jewelry, and raised her all the way with pile of gold and jade. Without Guo Mansion, did Gao Ran really think that she could marry into Yan Wang Mansion? But in the end, how did Gao Ran repay her family?

 

It was true that the one she calculated was Gao Ke, but Gao Ke was the heir that Duke Yingguo Mansion had carefully selected and placed unlimited expectations to. If it like this where did she put Duke Yingguo Mansion? Moreover, Gao Ke's horse ran into Yan Wangfei, if Wangfei had a miscarriage, how could Duke Yingguo Mansion left unscathed!
