Chapter 104 Extra Story: Cannot Get What One Ask For

The winter in the capital was always dry and dark, later than youshi (5-7pm), even couldn't see figure in the courtyard clearly.

Gu Cheng Yao sealed the letter with the sealing wax and set it aside. He stared at the majestic and solemn Yan Wang Mansion emblem above, and suddenly fell into a deep sense of melancholy.

It had been three years since his father returned to the fief, and he had been wandering alone for three years.

On that day of departure, he followed the crowd to send off Yan Wang Mansion's carriages from far away. The banners were flapping around, after Gu Hui Yan said farewell to the palace envoy, he mounted Zhao Xue and lead great number of retinue from the imperial court to the north. There were so many eyes, Gu Cheng Yao certainly didn't have the opportunity to talk to Lin Wei Xi, he didn't even see her. He saw her carriage slowly started, and then merged into Yan Army torrent, and could no longer be recognized.

The carriage had moved for a long time, but Gu Cheng Yao seemed to still able to see the tassels on the carriage curtain swinging from side to side, lingering in front of his eyes.

He had this kind of thought about his stepmother, the righteousness and propriety of the past two decades had become a joke. Gu Cheng Yao struggled painfully for a long time, and he even thought about receiving other women to divert his attention. He took Yun Hui first. Later in half-awake and half-drunk state he saw a person who looked like Gao Xi, from then on, he seemed to be possessed and disregarding anything asked her from someone else's house.

But all the efforts he made in the end pushed the situation in a worse direction. He accepted Yun Hui, aroused Gao Ran's jealousy, and planted the root that cause a series of family disasters. He took Lu Niang, but Lu Niang's impetuous and foolish character made the house restless, even made disturbance in front of Lin Wei Xi

Lin Wei Xi, he chewed over these three words, slowly called another name in his heart.

Gao Xi.

He discovered that this matter purely by accident. In fact, he had never verified the authenticity of this idea. Perhaps everything was his wishful thinking. But Gao Ran's death gave him an unspeakable feeling.

This is real.

The two of them are really one person.

After the news of Gao Ran's death came out, the entire Yan Wang Mansion remained silent. Gu Cheng Yao didn't say anything. The servant asked him if he wanted to see Shizi Consort's body, but Gu Cheng Yao said no. He didn't know what he should do if he went and saw some traces that were too late to cover up, and not belong to the signs of a serious illness.

Although he knew that his father would not leave such a handle, he still did not want to face this scene. In the fourth year of Yuanjia, he watched Gao Xi leave, and now Gao Ran was also dead.

His feelings for Gao Ran were very complicated. When he first searched for her with the jade pendant, he was really caught up in the fanaticism and love at first sight idea. He felt that he had fallen in love deeply with this woman. This was their destined marriage, so no one could stop them from being together.

Many years later, Gu Cheng Yao thought, maybe at the time he was not in love, he was just moved by himself.

He found this woman and got married with enthusiasm and expectation. However, Heaven's Will was just like that. If Heaven didn't want him to find her, then don't give him hope from the beginning, he wouldn't receive the jade pendant, and he wouldn't send the jade pendant to his father. Why after he found his wife, he was told ruthlessly that he found the wrong person.

This truth was undoubtedly a big deal for him at the time. Although Gao Ran was standing in front of him, Gu Cheng Yao couldn't hear anything anymore. He didn't even know how he left Duke Yingguo Mansion and how he returned to Yan Wang Mansion.
