What did Gu Cheng Yao just say, Yan Wang wants to marry Lin Wei Xi as his wangfei?
There was a buzz in Gao Ran's head, and it took a long time to recover. At this time, Gu Cheng Yao was also upset, and did not notice Gao Ran's strangeness.
The lantern made a popping sound, Gao Ran's spirit finally awakened, she suddenly realized the meaning behind this incident. She just agreed to the marriage between Lin Wei Xi and the second son of Qian. Although it was only a verbal promise, Gao Ran was confident when she agreed to Madam Qian and didn't think it would be a problem. Although the parent's order the matchmaker's words, but in this world there were so many marriage by Emperor's decree and Empress Dowager's decree, and not all of those people were relatives of the Emperor. As long as the power was large enough, social class could override all rules.
So when Madam Qian brought up Lin Wei Xi's marriage, Gao Ran got into her head and agreed without much rejection. Both the Qian family and Gao Ran were very happy. As for the opinion of the person involved, was it necessary to ask?
Of course Gao Ran knew that Lin Wei Xi would not be happy, and she even guessed that Lin Wei Xi would probably go to Yan Wang to talk. However, the gecko abandoned his tail and broken his arms to seek survival. Compared to Yan Wang's temporary dissatisfaction, Lin Wei Xi's continued stay in Yan Wang Mansion was more harmful, so she straightforwardly abandoned her temporary gains in exchange for long-term peace of mind in the future.
However, Gao Ran didn't expect that Lin Wei Xi went to the Yan Wang to file a complaint and actually came up with such a result.
Lin Wei Xi actually wants to marry into Yan Wang Mansion? What was even more incredible was that the person involved was not Gu Cheng Yao, but Yan Wang?
Gao Ran was too shocked to speak. If it's just shock it was nothing, the trouble was that Lin Wei Xi would be a generation higher than her in name. If Lin Wei Xi remembers their feud and deliberately finds fault in the future, Gao Ran would be in serious trouble.
For now the promise with the Qian family's wife was no longer important, and Gao Ran was more concerned about Yan Wang's matters. Gao Ran was too impatient to notice that her voice was no longer the gentle and watery style of the past, almost impatient: "Why father want to accept Lin Wei Xi as the consort? Is it as the consort or small concubine?"
Although Gu Cheng Yao was thought about this in his heart, but he couldn't help but lower his head and glance at Gao Ran when he heard this. In the past Gao Ran was always righteousness, gentle and graceful, how could she said such vulgar and disrespectful words? Gu Cheng Yao didn't know why Gao Ran had such a speculation. This was not only an insult to Lin Wei Xi, but also an insult to Yan Wang.
Gu Cheng Yao was unhappy in his heart, but still suppressed his mood, and answered his wife's question in a good voice: "Naturally as the consort. As Yan Wangfei."
Gao Ran's last thread of hope was shattered. She was so angry that she want to vomit, she obviously already finished. Why did Lin Wei Xi cause so much mess again. This troublemaker!
Gao Ran frowned and contemplated, after a while she suddenly realized that Gu Cheng Yao was looking at her. Gao Ran became alert in her heart, and quickly eased her face, and squeezed out a smile: "Shizi, I just heard about this and I was so surprised. By the way, what did Shizi and Wangye talking about, why suddenly brings up this matters?"
After Gao Ran explained her gloomy expression in the first half of the sentence, she immediately changed the subject after the vagueness passed.
Speaking of this, Gu Cheng Yao was not too happy, and did not mention Gao Ran's blunder: "Father said that Lin Wei Xi would be moved to Princess Shou Kang Mansion. I was puzzled for a while. After asking a few more questions, father said he would marry her as his consort. "
If Yan Wang really wants to marry Lin Wei Xi, then it would not sound so good to continue letting Lin Wei Xi lived in Yan Wang Mansion. In this way the matters would not spread falsely, and Lin Wei Xi most likely married from Princess Shou Kang mansion.
Why Lin Wei Xi could become the Yan Wangfei without a word, and due to unexpected turn of events she even had a princess mansion as her maiden's family.
Gao Ran's heart was on fire. A living Cinderella story happened before her eyes, and Gao Ran felt it was simply dazzling. What was even more disgusting was that this Cinderella would become her mother-in-law and in the future naturally would have management power over Gao Ran.
Gao Ran used to seeing this kind of vicious mother-in-law in her previous life, whether from films or television dramas or novels. If Lin Wei Xi gave birth to a son in the future, she would have the idea of wanting to move Shizi position. Gao Ran made no secret of her malice towards second wife stepmother. She completely forgot that she was also a second wife. If Gao Xi hadn't died early, Gao Ran would be someone else's stepmother.
Gao Ran quickly thought about the countermeasures in her heart, her eyes rolled, felt that the key lies with Gu Cheng Yao. Women were nothing but an adornment, but Gu Cheng Yao was the only son of Yan Wang, the Shizi of the mansion. If Lin Wei Xi tried a trick on Gu Cheng Yao, Yan Wang Mansion inside outside definitely would not spare her. Therefore, Gao Ran's reliance was still in Gu Cheng Yao. Only if Gu Cheng Yao and her were united inside and outside, with the same enemy, Gao Ran could rise above Lin Wei Xi step by step and made her an empty shell Wangfei.
After Gao Ran thought about it, her mind became calmer and quietly asked: "Shizi, you didn't look good when you just came in, did you say something to Wangye?"
Gu Cheng Yao sighed: "It's me who was wrong. I shouldn't contradict my father. But I'm not worthy of my mother. My mother and father have a deep relationship. My father will remarry after many years. Where will this put my mother's face?"
Gao Ran knew that the mother here refers to her proper mother-in-law Shen shi. Shen Wangfei was very famous in Yan Wang Mansion. As soon as Gao Ran got married, she heard these things from mama in charge. It was said that during that times Shen Wangfei and Yan Wang's love could move the world, Shen Wangfei chased her husband for thousands of miles, step over the social class, and after she entered the mansion, remained true to her original intentions even when her in-laws made things difficult for her, her love was brave and passionate. It was a pity that the heaven was jealous of the beauty, Shen Wangfei who had been treated coldly by her mother-in-law for many years, when Yan Wang went to battle for the first time, she died in the back house of Yan Wang Mansion.
Yan Wang came back to learn about this matter, he was silent for a long time and then throw a grand funeral for Shen shi. After many years, Yan Wang did not remarry. During this period, there were many young and beautiful women who recommended themselves as bed warmer. Yan Wang did not accept it. Later, when Gu Cheng Yao grew up, he directly named this Shen shi's son as the Shizi. Gao Ran sighed after hearing this. What a touching love story. The heroine broke through the barriers of the world. The hero had been affectionate for many years. After death, he had been guarding his dead wife. Even many important departments of the mansion were guarding the dowry of the dead wife. In this way, Lin Wei Xi, this third party, was too annoying.
Gu Cheng Yao's memory of Shen shi was already very vague, but it did not prevent him from deeply mourned his mother and treated well the old servant left behind by her mother. Even now, many of Gu Cheng Yao's close people were the servants left behind by Shen Wangei. The day after Gao Ran got married, Gu Cheng Yao's mama-in-charge and servant girl Yunhui came over to have a showdown with Gao Ran. When Gao Ran heard that the other party was Shen shi's people, she immediately became very polite. Gao Ran was more tactful than Gao Xi, because Gao Ran was fawning over Yun Hui and the others, and Gu Cheng Yao was very fond of Gao Ran, when the Shen Wangfei's people in the mansion saw this they treated Gao Ran harmoniously. With Gao Xi as the contrast in the front, Gao Ran and the remaining people of Shen Wangfei were to be kind and love one another, joyous and harmonious.
Gao Ran understands Gu Cheng Yao's feelings very well. Her nominal father, Duke Yingguo Shizi, was also unable to be with his true love Han shi because of his secular vision. Han shi could only be wronged as concubine. Gao Ran held Gu Cheng Yao's hand and said, "Shizi, I understand how you feel. Don't worry, Shen Wangfei is the only mother-in-law that I recognized. No matter what happens in the future, my heart for you will never change."
Gu Cheng Yao hold Gao Ran's hand tightly. Normally it was touching words, but didn't know what happened today, Gu Cheng Yao always felt very detached. He heard those words in his ears, but they did not stun him like before.
After Gu Mingda left, Lin Wei Xi stayed in her room to recuperate for several days. Gu Mingda did not say anything that day. The woman couldn't hear things like engagement in person, but from the surrounding people's expression these days and the plausible voice of the people in the mansion, Lin Wei Xi could probably guess what was going on.
After Lin Wei Xi's fever subsided, her confused brain finally woke up. Could it be she had been in the rain for too long that day, which caused the water to get into her head? What had she done!
Lin Wei Xi was so embarrassed that she couldn't face the stupid things she had done, so she could only hide in her room in the pretext of recovering from illness, and would not see anyone. Sickness was a really good excuse. She used to think that the women in the Duke Mansion would get sick every few days. It was too exaggerated. But now Lin Wei Xi knows that 'to recuperate' was really an omnipotent excuse. She didn't have to meet people face, could hide day by day.
Fortunately, within two days, people from Grand Princess Shou Kang Mansion came and busily took Lin Wei Xi to their mansion to recuperate. Lin Wei Xi's luggage was very simple, except for Lin Yong's intact rewards, there were only two servant girls, Wan Xing and Wan Yue. Wan Yue helped the people from the princess mansion to check the mahogany boxes behind, and Lin Wei Xi leaned back lazily in the front to recuperate. The granny next to Gao Ran came to inquire about the news. She walked softly and quietly into Jingdan Garden and smiled at Wan Xing: "Miss Wan Xing, is Miss Lin in there? Miss Lin will be leaving soon, Shizi Consort send this old slave to come to ask if there is anything that needs to be bought."
Wan Xing's expression was not good: "No. There is no need for you to buy anything, our Miss is not without money, besides, there are many female officials and aunts at the Princess Mansion, who needs you?"
A few days ago, Wan Xing absolutely would not dare talk to the people around Shizi Consort like this, but who made their miss the Wangfei? Wan Xing came from ordinary people, and she was full of the low-class people' ostentatiousness. She calculated gratitude and grievances very carefully. When she could step on a foot, she must run over with two feet.
Wan Xing thought, her miss would soon become the mother-in-law of Shizi Consort, among ordinary household mother-in-law simply hierarchical to the daughter-in-law. Even if the rules of the aristocratic families in the capital were different from those ordinary people, but according to Wan Xing's observations and inquiries over the past few days she discovered that the rules in these high gate were sometimes stricter than those ordinary people. In this case, there was nothing to be afraid of. Wan Xing's tail was shaking happily. Wan Yue secretly talked to her about what happened that day. Wan Xing probably guessed that Shizi Consort said something bad to Miss Lin, after coming back, she became angry. Now the wheels had turns, Wan Xing exhales and did not give them some face.
The granny's face turned red when she was scolded, she virtuously said, "This old slave knows that Miss Lin is rich, but after all, the slave comes in the name of Shizi Consort. Even if Miss Lin does not give the old slave a face, won't she give Shizi Consort a face? If the old slave doesn't even see Miss Lin, what can I reported to Shizi Consort after returning?"
Wan Xing was a little dizzy by the polite words of such a high-ranking family. She didn't know how to respond, so she pouted, and replied with an angry voice: "Wait first, let me ask our Miss."
After a while, Wan Xing lifted the curtain out of the room, with a peacock expression: "Miss said won't see."
The granny couldn't believe it: "I was ordered by Shizi Consort, Miss Lin, she..."
"Our Miss said, even if Shizi Consort comes here, she won't see her. Go ahead, don't hold the chicken feathers as an arrow, our miss will not eat your stuff."
Wan Xing took the posture of buying vegetables at the market and scolded the granny away. As for leave a thread in everything to see each other in the future? Wan Xing was immensely proud, no need! Their miss would become the wangfei and mother-in-law in the future. Who wants to leave a thread with your daughter-in-law?
Lin Wei Xi clearly heard the movement outside the room. Wan Yue put down the gift list book and poured Lin Wei Xi a cup of tea: "Miss, Wan Xing, she is used to walked in the market, always shoot her mouth off, please understand."
Lin Wei Xi covered her lips and coughed slightly. After suppressing the itch in her throat with water, she said nonchalantly, "It's nothing."
It's good to be happy and straightforward. Anyway, Wan Xing and Wan Yue's deed was with her, if in the future Lin Wei Xi could not protect them, then she would release them both well, and definitely would not leave them to Gao Ran to release her anger. Now, what Lin Wei Xi had to worry about?
After the granny returned to Gao Ran, she angrily scolded Wan Xing, but Wan Xing as a slave dared to speak insultingly, the master Lin Wei Xi naturally claimed a big credit. The people at Gao Ran's side were indignant, but this was all something that could only be said. At this time, Lin Wei Xi had already got on to the carriage of Princess Mansion, carrying her rich inheritance and moved to Princess Shou Kang Mansion. If nothing unexpected happened, Lin Wei Xi would settle there until she gets married.
Grand Princess Shou Kang was very happy to see Lin Wei Xi. One morning, after Lin Wei Xi had breakfast in her room, she came to greet Princess Shou Kang. As soon as she walked in, she was pulled by the princess. Princess Shou Kang held Lin Wei Xi's hand and looked at her up and down. After a moment, she shook her head, and said with grief to the female officials around: "Why do I feel that Sister Xi is thin again?"
Lin Wei Xi was in a cold sweat and quickly said, "What do you say, I have eaten well these days and slept well, I have gained a lot of weight."
Grand Princess Shou Kang looked suspiciously, but she could not see where Lin Wei Xi was fat. The elders always thought that the younger generation would be better-looking if they were a little fatter. Princess Shou Kang told Lin Wei Xi to eat and sleep more. Lin Wei Xi felt helpless, but she still agreed one after another.
Seeing Lin Wei Xi's lovable response, Princess Shou Kang was satisfied, and then she talked about the dowry with Lin Wei Xi enthusiastically: "Yan Wang has sent the betrothal gift list, only the list already an inch thick. Yan Wang also said that it is up to us to discuss it. Sister Xi, although it said marriage is by parents' order and the matchmaker's words, you as family's daughter should not listen to these. But you have lost your parents, and you will have to live on your own when you marry in the future. We also don't stick to those rigid rules. When do you like to get married?"
Lin Wei Xi was very embarrassed, the princess asked her about her wedding date, right? What was she supposed to say, was it early or late?
Lin Wei Xi could only euphemistically said: "I don't understand this, it's all up to you and Wang Yan."
"You say the same thing, you both the persons involved are very composed, but it seems that I shave my head and picking a hot head." Grand Princess Shou Kang complained casually, took back the auspicious time list, and repeatedly considered the date of marriage by herself. These two people one was her nephew and the other was her adopted granddaughter, not biologically. Although there was a generation difference, this was nothing in the big clans that connected by marriage for generations. Two younger generations whom she likes very much were getting married, Princess Shou Kang was simply overjoyed, eager to make this wedding perfect, like nothing in heaven and earth.
When Shou Kang and the female officials next to her were considering the auspicious date, Lin Wei Xi continued to sit in embarrassment. Just when she had the intention to get up, Princess Shou Kang stopped her and said, "Sister Xi, it so happens that you are also here. Then about the dowry matters you said your opinion first today. The betrothal gift sent by Yan Wang has not been moved, you take them all with you. In addition I also prepared a dowry for you. The red makeup booklet is here. You take these two lists and go back your room to carefully take a look."
