Lin Wei Xi regretted it as soon as the words were spoken, but what could Lin Wei Xi do? She could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm: "Your Wangfei, that is, Gu Cheng Yao's mother's surname is Shen. She passed away in the seventh year of Jianzhao, ten years ago. You are different from Gu Cheng Yao, you kept mourning period for your wife for three years. Even though with your status no one dares to insist, you still did it. Now it has been ten years since Shen Wangfei passed away, and the Shizi has also married and established a family. Although there are no children yet, but obviously there will be in a few years."

"What do you want to say?"

Lin Wei Xi blushed, but her voice did not weaken: "The Wangfei has passed away for many years, and the Shizi has grown up. There is no need to worry about heirs, and there is no need to worry about the new bride treating the predecessors' children harshly. If there is no worries about the future, you should marry a new Wangfei."

Gu Hui Yan put down his brush, did not care about the destroyed letter for First Assistant, rather looked at Lin Wei Xi, his eyes calm, unperturbed: "Go on."

Lin Wei Xi subconsciously want to bow her head, too frightening, it was more terrifying than the old-fashioned master who taught her to read when she was a child. But once the arrow shot there's no getting it back. Lin Wei Xi in any case couldn't say to Yan Wang 'sorry, you heard it wrong. Just now it's only sleep talking', right?

Lin Wei Xi's blush almost dripping blood. Using voice that was resolute and loud in her heart, but in actually as thin as a mosquito and fly, she said softly: "You see, how about me?"

Gu Hui Yan still had a light expression, could not be distinguished between angry or happy. But he himself knew, that was not the case.

Gu Hui Yan's fingers were lightly placed on the table, under his fingertips was a reply for First Assistant Zhang, which was just destroyed by a drop of ink. But under this letter, there was another exquisite palace note.

The letter was written by Grand Princess Shou Kang. In the letter, Princess Shou Kang said that she and Lin Wei Xi were very close to each other. She was an old woman who lived in the princess mansion by herself and always felt lonely. It happened that Lin Wei Xi also mentioned this matter, so Princess Shou Kang want to take Lin Wei Xi to the princess mansion to live.

This was actually a proposal that could satisfied both sides. Even if no one dared to gossip about Yan Wang Mansion, Lin Wei Xi was an unmarried girl after all, she didn't have blood relation with Yan Wang Mansion, and there wasn't female elders in the mansion. If she lives here, in the end her reputation would be damaged.

It was a reasonable proposal, but Gu Hui Yan stared at the letter for a long time, he couldn't write a good reply after a while. Probably rainy days could make people more irritable. Gu Hui Yan felt offended for no reason. When he noticed this, he was surprised. How could it be? Gu Hui Yan's face was still the usual, but in his heart there was tsunami and landslide. Instead of replying to Princess Shou Kang's letter, he took another piece of paper, laid it out, and wrote a letter to Zhang Xiao Lian. When Gu Hui Yan wrote the letter, his thoughts were always unconsciously drifting towards another matter. At this moment, Lin Wei Xi opened the door and entered.

Gu Hui Yan couldn't tell for a moment whether this was accidental or the inevitable combination of several coincidences.

He only turned to those thoughts in a flash. In reality, Lin Wei Xi had just recommended herself, and she was too embarrassed to lift her head.

Gu Hui Yan looked at Lin Wei Xi's hair whorl. She was so cute with her head hanging down like this. Her neck was like a swan, made people suspected it would break with a snap. Gu Hui Yan didn't know how long he watched it, maybe it was a cup of tea or maybe it was just for a flash, he quickly returned to his soul and retracted his eyes: "You have a fever, go back and recuperate. I just pretend that I haven't heard these words. Afterwards you still live in Yan Wang Mansion with ease. If you need something say it to Gu Mingda."
