I BECAME THE STEPMOTHER OF MY EX-HUSBAND

 

Chapter 94 Part 2: Sentencing

 

^^

 

Just to make her own younger brother the Shizi, Gao Ran actually made such a move of ignoring the overall situation and disregarding the family, Duke Yingguo old madam couldn’t tell how disappointed and angry she was. The old madam's chest moved up and down, and at this time, Gao Ran was still crying, still pitifully saying that it was not her.

 

Over the years, didn’t know how many times the old madam had seen Gao Ran like this. Often this was because Gao Ran was wronged and refused to say it, so she sobbed so softly but she couldn't hide it. In the past, Duke Yingguo old madam felt her heart break when she saw her crying like this. As a result the old madam did not know how many times she had stood up for her. But now, in front of so many people, Gao Ran could still make this kind of attitude like she suffered the biggest grievance!

 

How could this not make Duke Yingguo old madam angry. She could no longer restrain herself, and even didn’t even care that she was in Yan Wang Mansion. The deity Yan Wang was still sitting at the top. The old madam raised her heavy cane and resolutely slammed it on Gao Ran’s back three times.

 

"You're such ingrate! I always feel that although you are a shu daughter, but the character are righteous, didn't expect you to be as lowly as that your slut birth mother, only learn some tricks to seduce people. Where is Duke Yingguo Mansion ever let you down? You actually want to plot your grandmother and brother like this?"

 

Gao Ke had been standing on the side indifferently, until the old madam hit Gao Ran three times on the back. He glanced at Yan Wang at the top, and then stepped forward to hold Duke Yingguo old madam: "Grandma, please quell your anger, don’t let anger break your body. Yan Wang is still here."

 

The first sentence was persuasion, the latter was a warning. The old madam also knew that it was very bad for her to do this, she simply lost the dignity of century-old distinguish family Guo Mansion. She retracted her cane, gasping for air, and leaned almost her whole body weight on the cane: "Sinful, truly sinful! I've been totally devoted all these years, I really pity you so always good to you, even more so than towards Sister Xi. At that time you secretly went to talk to Shizi while Sister Xi went back to her maiden house. Did I say anything to you? Later, Shizi proposed to marry you regardless Sister Xi’s mourning period. Did I complain on Sister Xi’s place? Hate myself for having blurry eyes, considerate for many years, unexpectedly raised a poisonous snake."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam’s tears was unstoppable, leaning on the ebony cane, looking up and shouted mournfully: "Sister Xi, it's grandmother that let you down..."

 

Hearing this name, the few people left in the room were silent.

 

Gu Cheng Yao's face was pale, he was angry at Gao Ran’s method, even if his father didn't punish, he would not keep Gao Ran as his wife. But abruptly hearing this long-lost name, Sister Xi, he suddenly fell silent, his eyes were uncontrollably sorrowful.

 

Gu Hui Yan was very calm after he asked people to come in. He lead the conversation, but always disassociating himself from the outside, not participating in their quarrels. Until he heard the old madam cry out for Sister Xi, Gu Hui Yan tapped his finger on the armchair, and suddenly couldn't calm down: "Don't call this name."

 

The old madam was taken aback hearing Gu Hui Yan's words, and she stared blankly without responding for a while: "What?"

 

"Call her Gao Xi. Don't call this name in the future."

 

Duke Yingguo old madam was simply baffled. Sister Xi was Gao Xi’s pet name. The Gao family had called it this way for so many years. Yan Wang could control heaven and earth, even could change other people’s pet name?

 

But then the old madam remembered with hindsight, Yan Wangfei’s name was Lin Wei Xi, she was also called "Sister Xi".

 

The old madam felt an unspeakable embarrassment, and besides that, there was also a strange feeling that lingered.

 

Gu Cheng Yao also quickly figured it out. With Duke Yingguo old madam called "Sister Xi", it’s as if talking about some taboo topic, the main hall inevitably fell silent. In the middle hall with the plaque hanging high and the pillar deep red, only Gao Ran’s soft sobbing could be heard.

 

Gu Hui Yan just sat for a moment, and quickly stood up, breaking the silence of the room, and drawing an end to all this: "Shizi Consort is a daughter-in-law but intend to murder the mother. I don't need such a woman in Yan Wang Mansion. But marriage is to bind two surnames together. Since Guo Mansion’s madam is here, then I will ask this. The third miss of Guo Mansion, does the Guo Mansion’ madam want to take her back for resettlement or let her remain in Yan Wang Mansion?"

 

Duke Yingguo old madam fell silent like she couldn’t speak. She had seen so many shameful secret’ events, and of course she understood what it means. Bringing back to Duke Yingguo Mansion referred to divorce. Remaining in Yan Wang Mansion was probably ancient Buddha with Blue Lantern, or even "died of illness".

 

Although no one in the room had spoken yet, the silence was like a tiger with its sharp teeth and claws, gradually grabbed everyone's mind. Gao Ran knelt on the ground and crying out of her mind, but at this moment, she couldn't help but held her breath.

 

Although divorcing a wife was shameful, but the woman could still survive the rest of her life, but if she remained in her husband's house? Keeping a life was the best plan, but it was so, just the remaining years could only accompanied by loneliness and suffering, this was not necessarily better than death.

 

Duke Yingguo old madam was silent for a moment, and slowly said: "Getting married means follow the husband, the third girl now takes the surname Gu, and the Gao family has no right for resettlement."

 

When the old madam's words came out, half of the people were startled, but Gu Hui Yan just nodded calmly and said one word: "Alright."

 

Gao Ran suddenly exploded with great strength, rushed to Duke Yingguo old madam’s feet, and dragged the corners of the old madam's skirt: "Grandmother! Grandmother, you can't leave me alone. Don't you love me the most? You love Ran’er first right..."

 

But Duke Yingguo old madam only took two steps back like avoiding a plague, stay out of Gao Ran's touch, and the maids and servants she had brought rushed forward, blocking Gao Ran from the old madam.

 

"This is the matter of Yan Wang Mansion. This old body can't control it. It's up to Yan Wang and Shizi to decide."

 

Gao Ran’s heart couldn't help sinking, and her whole body was like falling into a cold cave. When Gao Xi died, Gu Cheng Yao was going to remarry in less than three months. Duke Yingguo Mansion agreed without saying a word. At that time, Gao Ran was secretly delighted and laughed that Gao Xi was unpopular, even her maiden’s family not willing to support her.

 

But now Gao Ran realize that actually the heartless and ruthless attitude, they treat everyone equally. That day Duke Yingguo Mansion was able to abandon Gao Xi for benefits, and today they treated Gao Ran with the same attitude.

 

Gao Ran couldn't kneel anymore, the whole person laid down on the ground like losing strength. There were footsteps coming and going in her ears, and afterwards there were fewer and fewer, clearly everyone has gone out, the only remains was her.

 

"Shizi Consort has lost her virtue. From now on, move to the Buddhist hall and copy the scriptures to pray for Wangfei.
