Lin Wei Xi was very satisfied with this result. Who do these people think they are, to actually blame her? Seeing Lin Wei Xi's face ease down, the Gao second lady was overjoyed, and quickly helped Lin Wei Xi sit back in her seat. Lin Wei Xi half-willing half-unwillingly sat back. Seeing that the farce had finally come to an end, and didn't become out-of-hand situation, Duke Yingguo old madam was relieved in her heart: "Yan Wangfei, this old body talking in a hurry just now. This caused a misunderstanding."
This was a roundabout apology. After all, Duke Yingguo old madam was forty or fifty years older than Lin Wei Xi. In a patriarchal society where the old was respected, a grandmother's generation could say to this degree was rarer than a red rain. How could Lin Wei Xi's previous life ever think that one day, she would hear her arbitrary and domineering grandmother apologize to her.
But Lin Wei Xi was not a person who stop while she's ahead, what she liked the most was to kill to the very last one. Lin Wei Xi smiled at the old madam. She had a beautiful face, and this one smile was like the sky lighten up for the first time, when spring return to the earth, it's a pity what she said was a different kind of situation: "Old madam, since today's scene is all a misunderstanding. Where is the servant who use their tongue to cause this misunderstanding? Can actually move Yan Wang Mansion's affair to the Duke Mansion, presumably this is a servant of Yan Wang Mansion. Under my rule, some people dare to do this. This matter also misled the old madam and the second lady. It is really a crime worthy of death. Old lady can just say it, no matter who it is, I will punish them severely and give justice to Duke Yingguo Mansion."
Duke Yingguo old madam was shocked when she heard this. She and Guo second lady looked at each other in surprise, never expecting Lin Wei Xi to do things this way. It was also an eye-opener for Guo second lady. Among the noble ladies she used to meet, which one were not thin-skinned. They regarded face more than life, even if they were angry, if other people were looking, they would wipe their face, and most of them would just let it go. But Lin Wei Xi didn't. They had already speak to this extent, and almost put the dignity of Duke Yingguo Mansion to dust, and they finally persuaded Lin Wei Xi to come back. But now Lin Wei Xi still want to pursue the person who passed the message?
It's the first time for Guo second lady to see such an unreasonable and unforgiving woman. Wasn't she too confident?
But who made the other person felt so confident? Lin Wei Xi was the Yan Wangfei, who was more than a round younger than Yan Wang, and the one Yan Wang personally seek to bring back. It was indefinite how much Yan Wang loved her. Even if Duke Yingguo Mansion were the in-laws, the one they catch was Gu Cheng Yao. They still need to depend on Yan Wang, so how could they dare to offend the little Wangfei whom Yan Wang loved so much? To make things worse, this matter was still Gao Ran who was wrong first.
Gao second lady scolded Gao Ran very much in her heart. This troublemaker, she caused troubles and was punished, and went home to manipulate her elders, and now she wanted to involve her elders to apologize for her.
Gao second lady took a careful look at her mother-in-law, and after receiving her instructions, she said a name with shame on her face. Lin Wei Xi knew it was one of Gao Ran's dowry servant. Although she was also from the Duke Mansion, she couldn't compare to confidants like Tao Mama and Ning Fu. Lin Wei Xi also knew that it was impossible to cut off Gao Ran's right arm all at once, and it also quite rewarding to be able to get rid of the dowry servant because the opportunity that Gao Ran presented herself.
Lin Wei Xi thought this way, just as the Duke Yingguo old madam wanted, and did not continue to question closely, but just dismissed the dowry servant. It happened that the master's family was also there, so Lin Wei Xi said, "This dowry servant was brought by Shizi Consort, since Shizi Consort has entered the door of my mansion, then these dowry servants are all become my Yan Wang Mansion's people. But they are from Duke Yingguo Mansion after all. I can't judge the severity of it, so I can only ask the old madam a few advises. You said, what should I do with this kind of villainous slave who plays with their tongue and incite disharmony between in-laws?"
It's really been a long time since Duke Yingguo old madam had been this upset. She said: "You can do anything with those wicked slaves, this kind of people even the duke mansion can't tolerated it. Wangfei doesn't have to worry about it, just sell them."
"Alright." Lin Wei Xi responded with a smile, and said to Wan Yue, "Pass on the old madam's order and sell all the dowry servant in the Shizi Consort's courtyard with the surname Li."
Duke Yingguo old madam was speechless, why it became her orders again? Gao second lady at last gained first-hand knowledge, there were actually such difficult people in this world, and this person was Gao Ran's mother-in-law, and the duke mansion's people all dare not offend this Yan Wangfei.
This trip for Duke Yingguo Mansion was really a failure. Originally planned to come to support their granddaughter, but they were trolled by their granddaughter's young mother-in-law and many years of self-respect were all gone. Not only that, but also paid with a dowry family. Gao Ran only took two dowry family with her when she got married, and one family was lost in a blink of an eye. This loss was not insignificant.
Might as well thicken the face, the Duke Yingguo old madam simply gave up and brazenly asked, "Wangfei, the New Year is approaching, even the court has started the annual leave, Shizi actually still has to study all night?"
Lin Wei Xi for a while couldn't guess why the old madam suddenly asked about Gu Cheng Yao. She was afraid to leave an opening, so she just responded vaguely: "Shizi's daily necessities have always been a matter of the outer courtyard, generally follows Wangye's arrangement and I never get involved."
Duke Yingguo old madam also only started talking. She did not intend to question the way Yan Wang disciplined his son, but then asked: "Yan Wang's strict discipline to Shizi really makes me amazed. It's just that studying is a quiet and noble's work. It's inappropriate to have distracting thoughts in mind. Since Shizi wants to concentrate on studying, if there is still a maid by his side, won't it disturb Shizi's study?
Lin Wei Xi finally realized, it turned out Duke Yingguo old madam were talking about Yun Hui. Lin Wei Xi coughed, and a red cloud rose on her face, and her expression became embarrassed: "Yun Hui's matter...this is Shizi room's affairs. I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me as the stepmother to interfere."
Duke Yingguo old madam also felt embarrassed, and a seventeen-year-old girl said these, she couldn't hold back her old face. However, this was the main purpose of her coming today. Since the words had already spoken here, and the dowry family had been lost, then the vixen around Shizi must be dealt with. They could not meet Yan Wang, also didn't dare to talk to Yan Wang about such things. Of course, how to deal with Shizi's orioles and swallows, had to let Lin Wei Xi this mother to take action.
Lin Wei Xi felt that this was something... Yun Hui, she had the knowledge from her previous life. This person had served Gu Cheng Yao for ten years and two years older than Gu Cheng Yao. The girl understood the matters early, and Yun Hui personally took care of Gu Cheng Yao from boy to man. She might have regarded herself as his room's people in her heart. Not to mention Yun Hui and Bu mama were close, the two get along better than mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. In this case, if an outside primary wife wants to gain a foothold, these two "contributors" were a troublesome matter.
In the previous life, Lin Wei Xi was very uncomfortable with Yun Hui's behavior, and even more disgusted with Bu Mama who faintly regarded herself as half mother-in-law. Want her and Yun Hui to follow the example of Ehuang and Nyuying? She was just dreaming, was Yun Hui really her match.
Lin Wei Xi had a lot of trouble with Bu Mama and Yun Hui in her previous life, but Gu Cheng Yao was blind, wholeheartedly thought that his nanny and close maid were good. Lin Wei Xi had finally left this quagmire now, and came as the sole winner. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was the one who called the wind and summoned the rain (the one that stir up troubles). Why she still contaminated by this mud? Gao Ran usually guarded against her like a thief, but now she wanted her to take action to solve Yun Hui, Heh! Where did she get such a thick face.
Lin Wei Xi firmly shook her head: "I am about the same age as Shizi. I should avoided suspicion. Now I am intervening in the affairs of Shizi's room. If it spread outside what would it called? Shizi Consort has an orchid heart and vanilla quality, and also the wife Shizi took a lot of trouble finding. This kind of trivial matter is naturally not a problem. Wife and concubine matters are part of Shizi Consort's own affairs, so let Shizi Consort make the arrangements herself.
If Gao Ran could dismiss Yun Hui, how could she still want to borrow Lin Wei Xi's influence? It was Gao Ran who couldn't get rid of this face, and Duke Yingguo old madam wanted to force Lin Wei Xi: "Wangfei's words are wrong, Shizi in the end wants to call you mother, the younger generation can't know people after a short while, can't see the good or bad, but also cannot rely on Wangfei as the mother to take the helm. After all, Wangfei will depend on Shizi to provide for her elderly life in the future, and the relationship between the mother and Shizi is still long. How can you really not concern about Shizi's courtyard matters?"
The Duke Yingguo old madam used providing for elderly life to threatened Lin Wei Xi. Even if Lin Wei Xi had children in the future, she would still need to rely on Gu Cheng Yao to provide for her elderly life. Gao Ran's attitude, as the daughter-in-law, was particularly important. After all, Shizi wasn't Lin Wei Xi's own child. How would she live in the future? Still couldn't overlook Gao Ran as the proper consort right?
Lin Wei Xi understood. She was vaguely angry, no longer cared about feelings and sentiments, her voice suddenly became colder: "If there's once there are second. Do you mean, Shizi Consort count on me to arrange the concubine for her?"
The Duke Yingguo old madam suddenly lost her voice. The stepmother get involved with the affairs of Shizi's room was not a good reputation, but reputation and rules could only restrain to those who care about it. If Lin Wei Xi really open-minded and didn't care about what outsiders think, she would use the elder's name to bestow a servant girl to Gu Cheng Yao. Even if she meddled with Gu Cheng Yao's concubine's room, what could other people actually do except said a few words of contempt?
The room was strangely quiet, Lin Wei Xi and the old madam's expressions were not very good. At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the window, as if something had been knocked off. Several people in the room were taken aback. Lin Wei Xi stood up and heard a low voice of apologizing from outside, which was also mixed in with the sound of greeting.
Lin Wei Xi's expression sank. She walked out quickly, just in time to see Gao Chen standing aside, with a knocked vase under his feet. Gao Chen's wet nurse was holding him, and she kept apologizing to another person.
Gao Chen actually hided outside to eavesdrop? Lin Wei Xi was angry in her heart, but she still endured it and went ahead and said, "Wangye."
Gu Hui Yan nodded, motioning Lin Wei Xi to get up. Gao Chen's figure was small and hided in the gap. If Gu Hui Yan hadn't come back from the outside, it's unknown how long he would still hide. Of course, it was the family's instruction that Gao Chen came back to secretly overhear. His mother often asked him to do this. After a long time, Gao Chen himself learned. But today, he was accidentally spotted by someone and knocked down the vase. Looking at the face of his wet nurse, Gao Chen realized that even if he still didn't understand the matter, this time the disaster was serious.
The wet nurse also didn't expect that the young master went to eavesdrop and was discovered by Yan Wang, he was so frightened and accidently knocked down a vase. This was the porcelain of the Tang Dynasty. Yue Porcelain had long been discontinued now. Since the previous dynasty, Yue Porcelain was already priceless. Now the price of Yue Porcelain the wet nurse couldn't even began to imagine. The wet nurse's fright was not light, continuously apologize: "Wangye, please forgive me. Young master did not deliberately knock down the vase. Young master is still a child..."
The Duke Yingguo old madam walked out with the help of Gao second lady, her expression was not very good when she saw the sight outside. Gu Hui Yan glanced faintly on the ground and said, "It's nothing but a vase. Come here, just sweep it."
The maids on both sides responded, and everyone from the wet nurse to the Duke Yingguo madam breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you Wangye. Brother Chen is young and not sensible. If he is rude, also asked Wangye to not care."
Gu Hui Yan didn't intend to speak, Lin Wei Xi saw this and said, "It's just a vase. If it fell, then it fell. It's good that it doesn't hurt anyone. Should I call someone to examine his hand?"
People of Duke Yingguo Mansion were a little embarrassed, so naturally they quickly said no. The old madam sighed in her heart, Yan Wang Mansion was indeed a really big family, even for Yue porcelain vase could said if it fell then it fell, just sweep it. Duke Yingguo old madam felt a little emotion in her heart and turned to worry about another matter. When did Yan Wang come in? Did he hear the previous words?
In fact, Gu Hui Yan was not in a good mood right now. Of course, this was not because he caught a child eavesdropping. He was a high-ranking person, naturally would not be doing such a low thing like eavesdrop, but he had developed a good hearing ability after many years of combat, and just now the Duke Yingguo old madam and Lin Wei Xi didn't deliberately lowering their voice when they talked.
Lin Wei Xi said that she was about the same age as Shizi, and then the old madam from the Gao family said that Lin Wei Xi would still need to depend on Gu Cheng Yao to provide for her elderly life, and the two people would have to get along for a long time.
Gu Hui Yan's originally acceptable mood suddenly clouded over.
Over the years he had advance gradually, step by step to the pinnacle of power, but no matter how meticulous the plan still could not change the time. He couldn't erase the fact that he was more than a round older than Lin Wei Xi.
He used to not care, but recently, when he looked at the young and bright Lin Wei Xi, and then saw his handsome son, he always felt a sense of absurdity. It was undeniable that Lin Wei Xi and Gu Cheng Yao were the same age, young and energetic, and they should be people of the same world.
Instead of him.
Especially the words of Duke Yingguo old madam, Lin Wei Xi would always have to be depend on Gu Cheng Yao to provide for her elderly life. Ridiculously speaking, Lin Wei Xi and Gu Cheng Yao were probably would accompany each other the longest and have the deepest bond. In the etiquette society, brothers would separate, father and son could turn into enemies, husbands and wife could part ways, only the relationship between mother and child that could not be cut off.
Gu Hui Yan suddenly wanted to know what Lin Wei Xi thought about this marriage that had to be concluded because of anger and accident? Why did she refuse to arrange a concubine for Gu Cheng Yao?
