Lin Wei Xi passed the window and happened to hear Yan Wang said that the wedding of Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran was scheduled for next month.
Lin Wei Xi thought she didn't care anymore, but when she heard these words, the smile on her face stiffened.
She died in depression in December, and only in a few days, Gu Cheng Yao is going to marry a new bride?
She was the eldest granddaughter of Duke Yingguo. Gu Cheng Yao didn't like her, Lin Wei Xi admitted it, but what about the Duke Yingguo Mansion? Where were her father and grandmother? They actually let Gu Cheng Yao do this. Perhaps they were eager to let Gao Ran enter the door as soon as possible and did not ruin the hard-won marriage between Yan Wang Mansion and Duke Yingguo Mansion because of Gao Xi's failure.
Lin Wei Xi felt sore in the corners of her eyes for no reason. Her mother Wei Shi died when she was ten years old. After that, Lin Wei Xi lived in her grandmother's princess mansion for more than half a year. She thought that she was quite indifferent to her former relatives. Between relatives also need affinity, since Duke Yingguo Shizi didn't like his di daughter, then she also wouldn't be close to him nor disrespect him, then the two sides were even. But how could they trampled her dignity like this? Was it because she was dead and would no longer know about these things, and there was no mother to stand up for her, so they became unscrupulous?
Sorry to disappointed them. She didn't die completely, and also returned to the world.
The guard outside the study had already seen Lin Wei Xi, and the conversation in the study suddenly stopped.
Lin Wei Xi adjusted her expression, smiled and walked up: "Is His Royal Highness Yan Wang inside?"
Before the guard reported it, Gu Hui Yan's low and clear voice could heard from the room: "Let her in."
Lin Wei Xi entered the room and saw Zhou Mao Cheng standing on one side, he hung his head slightly, looking unnatural.
Talking about Gu family's Shizi, even for a close confidante like Zhou Mao Cheng, it was not good to say too much.
Zhou Mao Cheng bowed his head and said nothing. Yan Wang treated them generously, but it didn't mean that they could meddle with Yan Wang's family affairs. Because Shizi had a father like Yan Wang, he had lived the life of the proud son of heaven since he was a child. Now he was just marrying a new wife, it was not a big deal. Yan Wang could be dissatisfied, but they couldn't.
Lin Wei Xi had a bit of inexplicable evil in her heart, deliberately asked: "Your Highness, Uncle Zhou, what are you talking about just now? Who is getting married?"
Zhou Mao Cheng glanced at Gu Hui Yan and found that Yan Wang did not mind, he explained to Lin Wei Xi: "It's the only son of Wangye, our Yan Wang Mansion Shizi, he is going to marry a wife."
"Oh, is it the first Shizi Consort? Congratulations to the young couple."
Zhou Mao Cheng's face was a little embarrassed: "It's the second wife."
Zhou Mao Cheng explained to Lin Wei Xi with some embarrassment, and Lin Wei Xi also pretended to listen. Neither of them noticed Gu Hui Yan glanced at Lin Wei Xi faintly, the glance passed by in a flash, but it contained palpitating exploration and insight. When most people heard about marriage, they wouldn't think to ask if it was the first partner, but when Lin Wei Xi asked it, it was as if she knew it was not the first partner.
Gu Hui Yan only glanced and then withdrew his gaze, his face still looked unhappy. On the other side, Lin Wei Xi finally "understood" the situation in Yan Wang Mansion, and sighed: "It turns out the son of Yan Wang Mansion is marrying a new wife. This is really unexpected. Is the son of Yan Wang already very old? Yan Wang is so young so I thought Shizi was not too old."
Gu Hui Yan was thinking about what happened just now. When he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh lightly, and looked at Lin Wei Xi with a smile: "Your compliment is too obvious, properly practice and then try again!"
Lin Wei Xi felt small grain pricks her heart. Now that she was caught by her ex-husband's father, she would inevitably felt a little troubled. Her eyes flowed, she glared at Gu Hui Yan unconvincingly: "What I said is true! Uncle Zhou, what do you say?"
Zhou Mao Cheng inexplicably got goose bumps, and he was compel to nod with a bitter face, "Wangye is young and strong, Shizi is also in his prime."
Gu Hui Yan smiled softly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more relaxed.
Gu Hui Yan was in a much better mood, and Zhou Mao Cheng sighed with relief before he dared to speak: "Wangye, Shizi specially wrote to ask you go back to the wedding. The last time we were in the northwest calming down the chaos, so we couldn't make it back. Although Shizi didn't say it, he definitely looking forward to you. This time finally have a chance... Wangye, this subordinate know that you are not satisfied with this marriage, but the wood has become a boat. After all, Shizi likes..."
Lin Wei Xi couldn't bear to hear this "It seems that I have little knowledge. Yan Wang's expedition was only work of one or two years, to miss Shizi's first wedding, unexpectedly still able to catch up with the second."
Zhou Mao Cheng was speechless by Lin Wei Xi's sentence, his face flushed. Gu Hui Yan was not at all annoyed. Instead, he smiled and looked at Lin Wei Xi: "You seem to be very hostile to Gu Cheng Yao, you are even angry with his marriage. You don't know him, right?"
Lin Wei Xi was shocked in her heart, she carelessly said something in her heart, why had she forgotten that this was the powerful Yan Wang. She just leaked some emotions in her words and was caught by him.
Lin Wei Xi in any case was also a mistress of big house before. Her expression remained unchanged and deliberately showed an unreasonable attitude: "Of course I am hostile to him. You clearly said that you will settled me first and then return to the capital. But now he sent a letter to call you away! What should I do?"
This reason was reasonable, Gu Hui Yan accepted it. He let it go with a slight smile. Zhou Mao Cheng's heart was ups and downs. In such short period of time, he had been frightened several times. Now he looked at Lin Wei Xi differently. Was it because the ignorant was fearless or this girl simply lucky, dare to talk to Yan Wang like this, was Yan Wang really not annoyed?
Zhou Mao Cheng sighed for a while, then retracted his gaze, still wanted to try again: "Wangye, the matter of Shizi..."
"No need to say anymore, I won't go back." Gu Hui Yan put down the writing brush on the desk, obviously his expression had not changed, but the room suddenly felt cold, "Less than a month after the first wife died of illness, he proposed to remarry, and the wedding is still scheduled for February this year. Did he ever consider Grand Princess Shou Kang's opinion? Already a big man, he's still so naive and reckless."
Zhou Mao Cheng tried to speak for Gu Cheng Yao: "Shizi is still young, how can he take into consideration the human relations..."
"Young? This year he is already seventeen. When I was seventeen years old, I was entrusted with the title of Yan Wang and took over the entire mansion of Yan Wang. If you look at him again, what have he done."
Zhou Mao had nothing to say. In fact, no matter who it was, seventeen was still half a child's age, not to mention for the noble son in the capital, it's the age of 'riding a horse on a leaning bridge and the building full of red sleeves'. But who made Shizi's father, Yan Wang Gu Hui Yan, become famous too early, the light was too bright. Gu Hui Yan went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen. At the age of sixteen, he fought a beautiful battle that brought him fame. Since then, his reputation had spread throughout the country. After that, at the age of seventeen he became Dazhou's youngest Qinwang. At the age of twenty-five, he already made great achievements and became the most important courtier and nephew that the emperor heavily rely on. At the age of twenty-seven he made the merits of 'saving the country in times of danger', at the age of twenty-nine became the regent chancellor. By now, Yan Wang was only thirty-three years old, and he was already famous all over the world.
Under his father's aura, Gu Cheng Yao did seem a bit too thin. Gu Cheng Yao's performance in recent years was also remarkable. Looking at the younger generation in the capital, he was also one of the leaders, but compared with his father, it was really not enough.
Gu Hui Yan therefore dissatisfied with Gu Cheng Yao, and Zhou Mao Cheng had nothing to say. When Lin Wei Xi heard that Yan Wang wouldn't go back to attend the wedding of Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran, she almost couldn't hold back her laugh.
Obviously already on the road but avoiding it, this was not the same as not returning because of the war. Lin Wei Xi hurriedly lowered her head to cover up her gloating. However, Zhou Mao Cheng as a loyal subject really couldn't help it, he persuaded a few more words: "Wangye, this subordinate know that you have high hopes for Shizi, but Shizi is young after all. He is not like us, tumbling in the flames of war, training from early morning to have iron bone. Shizi has always admire you, but it's a pity because of the war, always separated and rarely together. This time you return to capital, it's a rare opportunity for you to get along with him. Even if you are dissatisfied, you have to talk to him slowly."
After listening, Gu Hui Yan didn't say anything, did not speak or showed anger. However, this kind of expression was often scarier than anger. Zhou Mao Cheng dared not say any more, and looked at Lin Wei Xi for help: "Lin's daughter, why don't you say something?"
Lin Wei Xi sneered inwardly, want her be the lobbyist? The ex-husband and her shu sister were getting married. Expecting her, this older sister, to bless their true love? Simply dreaming. Now Gu Cheng Yao's father and Gao Ran's future father-in-law was right in front of her, if Lin Wei Xi did not take advantage of this God-given opportunity to give them trouble, she would live this life in vain!
"Your Highness, you are doing the right thing. If your child does something wrong, he should be punished. You can't get used to him! He is such a big man, what can't he stand? Without your protection, when he won't be obedient can he take responsibilities?"
Zhou Mao Cheng looked at Lin Wei Xi in amazement, and Gu Hui Yan could not help but laugh: "You really hate him. Forget it, just listen to you, this time I will not tolerate him. But you are just a child, why sound so mature? You are one year younger than Gu Cheng Yao, but your teaching tone is the same as his elders."
Lin Wei Xi was called a "child", she was very upset at first, but when she looked at the people around her had a relieved expression, she guessed that Yan Wang's laugh was very rare, at least it proved that there would be no major events next. Lin Wei Xi unexpectedly solved Gu Cheng Yao's entanglement, her gangster heart actually not willing. But she couldn't be too much, Yan Wang was kind to her, if she provoked again it would be too boring.
Looking at Lin Wei Xi's reluctant look, Gu Hui Yan felt more and more that this little girl was really lively and compare to a solidified person like him almost like they lived in two different worlds. Gu Hui Yan didn't want to embarrass her too much, so he asked: "I haven't asked just now, what are you doing here?"
Lin Wei Xi almost forgot about it, she quickly said, "I come here specially to thanking Your Highness Yan Wang! Thank you for upholding justice for me, and thank you for taking me out of the wolf den."
It's just a sentence, Gu Hui Yan didn't take it seriously. He gestured to Zhou Mao Cheng, and Zhou Mao Cheng retreated. After there were no outsiders in the study, Gu Hui Yan and Lin Wei Xi talked about her personal affairs: "Your aunt is too greedy and is not a good match. I sent someone to investigate Li Yuanwai, his son is indecisive and unreliable. It's right for you to not want to marry these two families. Although this county town is very small, but it's better to be close to your hometown. You can get married here, so you can live a stable life and avoid the harassment of Lijia village. I asked the county magistrate to fetch a roster over, among them there are a few young official..."
Lin Wei Xi was almost disillusioned: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
Gu Hui Yan sighed slightly, looked at Lin Wei Xi's helpless eyes: "You were angry yesterday, so I leave you alone. But you are young and at your prime age, you won't really be an ancient Buddha with a green lantern and be alone right?"
"Why not?" Lin Wei Xi looked at Gu Hui Yan, her eyes moistened unknowingly, "I thought you wouldn't be like this. I respect you from the bottom of my heart, but why do you want to force me?"
After Lin Wei Xi finished speaking, she did not dare to look at Gu Hui Yan's expression again, turned around and rushed out quickly. Zhou Mao Cheng who guarded the door was shocked when he saw Lin Wei Xi rushing out with red eyes: "Lin Girl, what's the matter with you?"
Lin Wei Xi didn't speak, and ran away. Zhou Mao Cheng stared blankly and then looked into the study, he saw Gu Hui Yan pressing his eyebrows.
Zhou Mao Cheng looked at the expressions of these two people, and the drama that played in his head was almost scaring him to death. He stood at the door and carefully asked: "Wangye, what happened to Miss Lin?"
Gu Hui Yan sighed more times these day than in the past year: "Blame me for forcing her to marry."
It turned out to be this, oops, scared him to death. Zhou Mao Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. He thought of yesterday's affairs, and after a short while, he decided to tell Yan Wang.
After Zhou Mao Cheng finished talking about Li Da, Gu Hui Yan's expression was completely out of sight. His face was covered with ice, and his voice was faintly angry: "Why didn't you say it yesterday?"
"She is a little girl with a thin skin, she wouldn't want to let people know about this kind of thing."
Gu Hui Yan thought for a while, and suddenly felt a little pity in his heart. He thought she only had a temper, just now she only make noises that she would not marry. It turned out that she came across such a thing in private. She was a lone and weak woman to run into this kind of thing and had nowhere to ask for help. It's no wonder she rejected getting married. Gu Hui Yan sighed in his heart, but the words that came out were completely different and cold: "Call Gu Mingda in."
Gu Mingda was Yan Wang's right-hand man. Zhou Mao Cheng knew that Yan Wang was really angry this time. In recent years, Yan Wang had a lot of responsibilities and his emotions became more and more restrained. Few could make him release his emotions, Aunt Lin's family could do this, that was also some ability.
