I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 49: Disagreement

It's getting late now, the color of the sky was already dark. Now no one had the thought to eat, Lin Wei Xi made a decision for Yan Wang, canceling today's dinner, and for them to return to each courtyard to have dinner. The people in Jingcheng Courtyard left one after another, and the kitchen delivered the meals to the room. Lin Wei Xi took advantage of when the maid's prepared the meals and whispered to Wan Yue to get the keys and the matched cards.

All the keys to the mansion were in Bu Mama's hand, and the matched cards for taking stuffs from the treasury was also kept by her. It's easy to invite the Buddha but it's difficult to send off the Buddha. Who would be willing to spit what they have. Normally, it's too difficult to retrieve the key from Bu Mama, but today Bu Mama had offend Yan Wang. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Wei Xi certainly needed to strike the iron while it was hot and took the things back to her own hands.

Of course Bu Mama refused to hand over the key, but she did not dare to make trouble at this moment. If it's alarmed Yan Wang, it would not end with just a fine of a monthly salary. No matter how unwilling, Bu Mama could only take out the key and the matched card box, and threw it to Wan Yue.

Wan Yue didn't care about Bu Mama's black face. After checking everything was in order, she ran back to the main courtyard quickly. Lin Wei Xi had been waiting in the side house. After seeing what was in Wan Yue's hand, she let out a relaxed sigh.

It was only then she became the actual mistress of the Yan Wang Mansion. The keys to the courtyards and warehouses were in her own hands. To hold the lifeline in her hand, only then she had the confidence to speak. Lin Wei Xi couldn't help but feeling very good. After looking at it one more time, she let Wan Xing and Wan Yue put it away, and she got up and walked to the main house.

She did not dare to forget that Yan Wang was still waiting for her to have dinner.

Gu Hui Yan was sitting at the table when he saw Lin Wei Xi enter the door with a smile on her face. During the meal, Lin Wei Xi was beaming, obviously in a good mood. He took it all in but didn't point it out. When there were only two of them in the room at night, Gu Hui Yan said casually: "Today was hard on you."

Lin Wei Xi went on alert, she couldn't help but put her smile away: "I don't dare."

Seeing Lin Wei Xi's tense look, Gu Hui Yan couldn't help but laugh: "I don't mean to question you, you don't have to be nervous."

Lin Wei Xi cooperated with Gu Hui Yan's words and relaxed her body, but her heart still held on tightly.

Gu Hui Yan could also see that Lin Wei Xi was very defensive now. He really felt helpless. He was not a man-eating tiger. Why should husband and wife be so defensive? Between her and a servant, could he still sided with other people?

Gu Hui Yan didn't understand where her strong distrust of the person next to her pillow came from. He could only moderate his tone and say, "Today, how you handle things is very good. I'm not in the mansion all year round. The rules in the mansion can't help but loosen. I planned to deal with these people for you. But because you just got married, I'm afraid that doing so will scare you, so I didn't mention it. I didn't expect them to make trouble in front of you in the last few days."

Hearing Gu Hui Yan's words, Lin Wei Xi's shoulders unknowingly loosened. Yes, this was Yan Wang, not Gu Cheng Yao. She didn't have to worry that when she took a lot of trouble to check and balance the servants, she would be criticized coldly by her husband after returning. Lin Wei Xi finally laughed, her tone unconsciously had a little probing: "Wangye, don't you think my approach today is too cold?"

"How could that be?" Gu Hui Yan chuckled, beckoning Lin Wei Xi to sit next to him. He run his palm through Lin Wei Xi's soft long hair and said, "The rewards and punishments were clearly defined, and the powers and responsibilities were consistent. You are doing the right thing. The more mature and trusted the old servants, the stricter we should be with them, otherwise it will harm others and themselves."
