www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of I Become a Stepmother to My Ex-Husband!

Shangyuan is full of lights, which is for Xi. The sky is about to light up but it is not bright yet, it is Xi. Gao Xi was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Guo, and her dowry itself was expensive. Her mother, the Wei family, had only one child. The Wei family's dowry plus the dowry prepared by the British government, and private subsidies from the eldest princess Shoukang. One can imagine Gao Xi’s net worth.

Later Gao Xi died of illness without leaving any children. If a married woman has no heirs, her dowry must be returned to her family. At that time, the matter of Gao Ran's remarriage was already confirmed. The British princess wanted to win over the in-laws of Prince Yan, so Gao Ran's attitude was crucial. The British princess lost a lot of money and transferred most of Gao Xi's dowry to Gao Ran. , and four new sets of headgear were purchased. However, Gao Xi's dowry still contains things belonging to the original Wei family. If it were an ordinary daughter-in-law, the British mother-in-law could just make the decision directly, but the Wei family also has a princess, which is a bit tricky.

Mr. Wei has been dead for many years, and she has a daughter. Gao Xi should inherit the dowry of Mrs. Wei, and her natal family has no right to recover it. The trouble was that Gao Xi also died at a young age, and she left no children. The British government was very nervous when dealing with Gao Xi's inheritance. Although the eldest princess Shoukang has no successors in recent years and is declining, as long as Shoukang is alive for one day, she will be a favorite of the royal family and the aunt of the current emperor. The decline of Princess Shoukang's Mansion is the royal family's own business. If outsiders dare not give the eldest princess face, then the royal family will not reason with you.

The British Crown Prince was wary of this senior and senior princess, so he could only politely send a message to the Princess Palace, asking Princess Shoukang what she wanted to do with Gao Xi and even the dowry left by the Wei family back then.

The eldest princess Shoukang has enjoyed royal enshrinement all her life. She has opened her own business and established a household. She does not need to be angry with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her property is just a foreign object to her. She really has nothing to be obsessed with. Although the Princess Mansion where Shoukang currently lives bears her title, after her death, the Princess Mansion will be taken back by the Clan Mansion. After repairs, it will be given to another princess. It has nothing to do with the Prince Consort or the Prince Consort's family. . The eldest princess Shoukang had no sons, and her family property would be returned to the state treasury after her death, so she did not value the dowry of a married woman as much as ordinary families.

If this was an ordinary concubine, after Gao Xi's death, the Wei family's dowry would be inherited by the concubine, even if the concubine had nothing to do with the Wei family or the eldest princess Shoukang. But Gao Ran is the daughter of the Han family, the culprit who killed the Wei family in the first place. How could Princess Shoukang let this bunch of **** take advantage of her? Princess Shoukang sneered after receiving the message. She immediately ignored her in-laws and ordered her chief minister to go to the British Duke's Palace. She didn't care how much dowry the Duke's Palace planned to prepare for Gao Ran, but the Wei family's things. She had to carry back every melon seed she had prepared for her granddaughter Gao Xi.

After so many years, the Princess Mansion retrieved the dowry from the daughter-in-law. This was too heavy a slap in the face. High-ranking families valued face most, and by doing this, Princess Shoukang was exposing the British princess to the public in front of the entire capital. The government's face was thrown to the ground and trampled on. The British princess was extremely angry, but who gave her the surname Gu? The Gu family was the noblest. The British princess was furious, but other than scolding her son and daughter-in-law in private, she did not dare to do anything to Princess Shoukang. Now that the in-laws of the two houses have become enemies, the British father-in-law and his wife are also cold-faced, secretly saying who cares about the things in the princess's house. They are a British public house. Can the married daughter of the Gao family still not be able to afford a dowry?

So Gao Ran’s dowry was the part of Gao Xi’s dowry prepared by the British government. Later, some seasonal clothes and gold and silver jewelry were added. Of course, these dowries cannot be said to be bad, but when compared in the capital, they are just A normal noble lady level. There are as many dignitaries as dogs in the capital, and there are too many princely girls from superior families who are favored by their natal families and later marry high. Gao Xi's dowry seems to be sky-high in the eyes of common people, but in the eyes of women of the same class, it is nothing more than that.

The Wei family is an only daughter, and Gao Xi is also an only daughter. The accumulated dowry of three generations cannot be underestimated. However, Gao Ran does not have the financial support of his mother's family, and the dowry prepared by the British government alone is actually only mediocre. After all, the British Duke's family has many descendants. Even if Gao Ran marries into a high family, he is just a married woman. Can he compare with the sons and grandsons of the Duke's family? However, if Gao Ran gets the financial power of her husband's Yan Palace in the future, that will be a different matter. No matter how rich the family background is, they should not compete with the royal family in terms of wealth and status. The day they can compete with each other will most likely be the day the family is purged.

Lin Weixi breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that her mother Wei's dowry and the land deed of the farm that her grandmother had privately subsidized her had been taken back by the Princess Mansion. That's good. The dowry given to her by the British government was the private property of the Gao family. They were willing to transfer it to Gao Ran. Lin Weixi had nothing to say and didn't care much in her heart. But Gao Ran cannot get his hands on his mother Wei's relics.

Mother's belongings and grandmother's things did not fall into Gao Ran's hands. Lin Weixi was extremely happy. For several days in a row, she was in high spirits on happy occasions, and even looked at Gao Ran kindly. From this point of view, what Gao Ran got was far different from what she had originally received. Lin Weixi deeply regretted this and was extremely happy about it.

At this moment, thinking about Gao Ran's behavior of showing off his wealth a few days ago, Lin Weixi felt even more ridiculous. Lin Weixi had an inexplicable smile throughout the night, glancing at Gao Ran from time to time. Lin Weixi's movements were not deliberately concealed. Gao Ran felt a little hairy for some reason, and even Gu Chengyao glanced at Lin Weixi strangely several times.

In the second half of the meal, Lin Weixi basically stopped using her chopsticks, and just poked at her rice like rice. When Gu Huiyan stopped, she immediately put down her chopsticks. Perhaps it was because he was placing his chopsticks so neatly that Gu Huiyan glanced here: "Eat well and don't giggle."

Lin Weixi was very dissatisfied with this sentence: "What is a silly smile?"

The other people serving in the room were shocked to the point of numbness when they heard this. Even Gu Chengyao was not surprised. Miss Lin who is staying here is a very special existence in the palace. No matter who she offends, she cannot offend Miss Lin.

Sure enough, Gu Huiyan didn't pay attention to this confrontation. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about another matter: "You will be discharged in May. It's not long until now. Are all the relevant things ready?"

Lin Weixi pursed her lips and hummed. She did not answer, but turned her face to look at Gu Huiyan: "Do I want to be discharged in Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Gu Huiyan glanced at her gently: "What else?"

The people listening nearby were a little unable to stand. King Yan offered to arrange filial piety for Miss Lin, but Lin Weixi actually showed reluctance? Gao Ran's expression was not very good at that time, Lin Weixi was too fond of Qiao, and King Yan was really asking, why did such a pretentious and pretentious woman spoil her? But when Gu Huiyan mentioned it like this, Gu Chengyao, who was sitting next to him, had no intention of objecting. No matter how unhappy Gao Ran was, he had to smile and agree: "Being a filial piety is a big thing. Miss Lin can remove the mourning clothes in Prince Yan's palace. She is really destined to the palace. Being filial piety is a big deal. I haven't dealt with the matter yet. If there is anything I don't like, please forgive me, Ms. Lin."

Gao Ran secretly buried the nail in his words. This was just a polite remark. Who knew that Lin Weixi actually said: "Since the Crown Princess has never arranged weddings and funerals, forget it. Funerals are not a big deal. , it is enough for me to arrange it myself, there is no need for the Crown Princess to learn it now."

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became awkward. Gao Ran did not expect that his kind words would actually be used by Lin Weixi. The corners of her mouth stiffened and she smoothed herself over: "Although I am young, I am also led by my grandmother at home. Guidance, and has handled some major events. Since Miss Lin lives in the palace, she is an honored guest of our family. How can we let you, a guest, prepare for this kind of thing by yourself?"

"What's wrong? I'm the only one left in the Lin family. If I hadn't met His Highness King Yan, why wouldn't I be able to do it myself?" At this point, Lin Weixi glanced to the side. She dared to choke Gao Ran back to his face, but But he didn't dare to touch Gu Huiyan's face. To put it bluntly, the decision-making power on this matter was still in Gu Huiyan's hands. Lin Weixi saw that Gu Huiyan's expression was calm and calm, and no emotion was leaked. Lin Weixi felt the invisible pressure and quickly said flattering words: "I am destined to His Highness King Yan. It’s not like I have a fate with Prince Yan’s Mansion, so it makes no sense to ask Prince Yan’s Mansion to help me get rid of my uniform. Don’t you think so, Your Highness, Prince Yan?”

"How come there is no fate?" Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi with easy-going eyes, but his words were completely different, "What is the difference between me and Prince Yan's Mansion in your eyes?"

"Of course there is a difference. The King of Yan is you, but the Yan Palace is a family entrusted by the imperial court. If someone else in the palace instructs me, I will definitely ignore it, but if it is you, the King of Yan, then you can speak, and I will be confused. , without hesitation."

Gu Huiyan finally laughed and glanced at Lin Weixi gently: "You are the only one who can speak."

Lin Weixi knew there was something going on as soon as he heard it: "Then the matter is settled like this?"

"It's up to you."

Lin Weixi immediately beamed with joy, and in the end did not forget to stab Gao Ran in the direction of the knife: "Although guests are welcome to do as they please, but I can spare you two troubles, it's better not to bother you. No need to rush to learn, Prince Yan. His Highness has agreed, I will do the work myself."

Gu Huiyan felt helpless and funny at not forgetting to take him with him at times like this. This kind of little girl's thoughts were too far away from him. Gu Huiyan was used to being surrounded by **** military reports or the cold court struggles, but he was suddenly pulled into the scheming of his children by a little girl, as if he was also contaminated. Fireworks from another world. Although it is thin and shallow, it doesn't feel bad.

Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao were sitting together. When Lin Weixi glanced at Gao Ran, Gu Chengyao naturally saw it clearly. His upbringing and childhood experience told him that he should like gentle and generous women. Gu Chengyao also thought so for many years. Lin Weixi ran counter to the virtues he expected from a woman. Gu Chengyao originally thought he would be bored, but when he encountered Lin Weixi's unabashed provocation, he found that he was not very impatient. Instead, he felt calm and a little helpless. It's like...indulgent.

Gu Chengyao was startled by his own thoughts, and then he laughed at himself, wondering what he was thinking, Gao Ran was the destiny he was pursuing. He is only tolerating Lin Weixi in every possible way because of his father's face.

The two male hosts showed a conniving attitude toward Lin Wei Xi, and Gao Ran immediately became unhappy. In her mind, she believed that Lin Weixi did it on purpose and deliberately did the opposite to attract Gu Chengyao's attention, and then went further to pretend to be pitiful with Gu Chengyao. Gao Ran was so angry that his liver ached, and his heart became more determined. He had to ask Lin Weixi to move out quickly. Prince Yan's Mansion can only have one mistress, she, and cannot tolerate a second master.

The matter of Lin Weixi's discharge was finalized in this way. Gu Huiyan said that he would let Lin Weixi fiddle with it on his own, but later he still called in people to help her. Lin Weixi showed a slight hint of refusal, and Gu Huiyan said: "This is the manpower sent by me in my own name. Didn't you say that you are unwilling to accept the help of Prince Yan's Mansion, but you do not reject Prince Yan."

Okay, Lin Weixi shut up obediently.

On the third day of May, Lin Weixi took off her plain mourning clothes and took off the fine white flowers on her bun. Three years of filial piety to her father officially ended. Even so, Lin Weixi remembered the kindness between Lin Yong and the original body, and did not change into bright red or yellow clothes, but still wore a cool-colored shirt and skirt.

The eldest princess Shoukang also paid close attention to Lin Weixi's removal of filial piety. It happened that the Dragon Boat Festival would be coming soon, and the emperor and Queen Mother Qian were going to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boat race, accompanied by the royal family and nearby dignitaries. The eldest princess Shoukang asked someone to bring new clothes and jewelry early, and she was gearing up to dress up Lin Weixi, and then take her out to formally introduce her to the ladies in the capital.

Lin Weixi looked at the brocade dress that was delivered and sighed, but she couldn't bear to let her grandmother down, so she followed the wishes of the eldest princess Shoukang and dressed up grandly.

Lin Weixi never imagined that the eldest princess Shoukang had the idea of ​​​​giving her a blind date this time.

Mr. Wei is the princess's legitimate daughter. When she married the British prince, she was a well-known combination of powerful people, and they were well matched. It's just that the married Wei family and the British prince didn't get along well. Wei pretended to be the daughter of a princess, and the British prince also preferred weak beauties. This marriage seemed noble, but the person involved, Wei, did not live well. . Later, when the Han family regained their favor and became the favorite of the British prince, the relationship between the Wei family and the British prince became even tighter.
