I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband: 7. Anti-marriage
www.lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapter of I Become a Stepmother to My Ex-Husband!
Lin Weixi passed by the window and happened to hear King Yan say that Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran's marriage was scheduled for next month.
Lin Weixi originally thought she didn't care anymore, but after hearing these words, the smile on her face still stiffened.
She died of depression in December. Only a few days later, Gu Chengyao was going to marry someone new?
After all, she is the eldest granddaughter of the British Duke. Gu Chengyao doesn't like her, but Lin Weixi recognizes her, but what about the British Duke? Where are her father and grandmother? It was actually up to Gu Chengyao to do this. Perhaps they were eager to let Gao Ran in as soon as possible, and they must not ruin the hard-won marriage between the Prince of Yan's Palace and the British Duke's Palace because of Gao Xi's failure.
Lin Weixi felt sore at the corners of her eyes for no reason. Her mother, Wei, passed away when she was ten years old. After that, Lin Weixi lived in her grandmother's princess mansion for most of the year. She thought that she was very indifferent to her former relatives, and relatives also need to have good relations with each other. Since the British prince didn't like her as his legitimate daughter, she wouldn't be close to him or disrespectful to him. It was an even relationship, that's all. But how could they trample on her dignity like this? Is it just because she is dead and will no longer know about these things, and there is no mother at home to stand up for her, so is she so unscrupulous?
That really disappointed them. She did not die completely, but actually returned to the world.
The guards outside the study had already seen Lin Weixi, and the conversations in the study suddenly stopped.
Lin Weixi adjusted her expression hard and walked up with a smile: "Is His Royal Highness King Yan here?"
The guard hadn't reported yet, but Gu Huiyan's deep and clear voice could already be heard in the room: "Let her in."
Lin Wei Xi entered the room and saw Zhou Maocheng standing aside, his head slightly lowered, looking unnatural.
Also, when it comes to the eldest son of the Gu family, even close confidants like Zhou Maocheng cannot say much.
Zhou Maocheng lowered his head and said nothing. King Yan treated them generously, but it did not mean that they could really give advice on King Yan's family affairs. The prince has a father like King Yan, and he has lived the life of a proud man since he was a child. Now it is just marrying a new prince concubine, which is not a big deal. King Yan can be dissatisfied, but they cannot.
Lin Weixi had some unexplainable bad intentions in her heart, and deliberately asked: "His Royal Highness King Yan, Uncle Zhou, what were you talking about just now? Who is getting married?"
Zhou Maocheng glanced at Gu Huiyan and found that King Yan had no intention of stopping him, so he explained to Lin Weixi: "He is the only son of the prince, and our eldest son of the Yan Palace is going to marry the eldest concubine."
"Oh, are you the original wife of the Crown Princess? Congratulations to the young couple."
Zhou Maocheng looked a little embarrassed: "It's the step-brother."
Zhou Maocheng explained to Lin Weixi with some embarrassment, and Lin Weixi also pretended to listen. Neither of them noticed that Gu Huiyan glanced at Lin Weixi faintly. The glance passed by in an instant, but it contained a heart-stopping exploration and insight. When most people hear about getting married, they don't think about whether it's the original spouse. But when Lin Weixi asked, it was as if he already knew it wasn't the original spouse.
Gu Huiyan only glanced at it and then looked away, his face still unimpressed. On the other side, Lin Weixi finally "understood" the situation in Prince Yan's Mansion and sighed: "It turns out that the young master of your mansion is already marrying his step-concubine. This is really unexpected. Is your young master already very old? Prince Yan is so young, I I thought the crown prince was not that old."
Gu Huiyan was thinking about what happened just now. When he heard this, he couldn't help but smile softly and looked at Lin Weixi with a smile: "Your compliment is too obvious. Practice it carefully before showing it out."
Lin Weixi had a heart to stir up trouble, but now that her ex-husband's father had caught her, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable on her face. Her eyes turned and she glared at Gu Huiyan unconvincingly: "What I said is true! Uncle Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Maocheng got goosebumps for no reason. He grimaced and forced himself to nod: "Yes, the prince is young and powerful, and the prince is also in his prime."
Gu Huiyan laughed softly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more relaxed.
Gu Huiyan was in a much better mood, and Zhou Maocheng breathed a sigh of relief, and then he dared to speak: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince wrote specifically because he wanted you to go back to attend the wedding. The last time we quelled the chaos in the northwest, we really couldn't make it in time. Even though the Crown Prince didn’t say anything, he must be looking forward to seeing you when he goes back. This time he finally has the opportunity... Your Majesty, I know that you are not satisfied with this marriage, but it’s a done deal. After all, the Crown Prince likes it..."
Lin Weixi couldn't help but retorted after hearing this: "It seems that I still have little experience. King Yan's expedition was only a matter of one or two years ago. I missed the prince's first wedding, but he was still able to catch up with the second. field."
Zhou Maocheng was speechless by Lin Weixi's words. Zhou Maocheng's face turned red. Gu Huiyan was not annoyed at all. Instead, he looked at Lin Weixi with a smile: "You seem to be very hostile to Gu Chengyao, and you continue to treat him like this." I'm not happy about the marriage. You don't know him yet, right?"
Lin Weixi was horrified. She said she was careless. How could she forget that the person in front of her was the powerful King Yan? She just revealed some emotions in her words, but he caught her.
Lin Wei Xi was also a mistress after all. Her expression remained unchanged and she deliberately showed a arrogant attitude: "Of course I am hostile to him. You clearly promised to settle me first and then return to the capital, but now he has sent a letter This letter is going to call you away! What should I do?"
This reason was reasonable and reasonable. Gu Huiyan accepted it and smiled lightly. Zhou Maocheng's heart was in a state of ups and downs. He had been frightened several times in such a short time, and the way he looked at Lin Weixi was completely different now. Is it because the ignorant are fearless, or is this girl just lucky enough to dare to talk to King Yan like this? The terrible thing is that King Yan is not annoyed at all?
Zhou Maocheng sighed for a while, then looked away, still wanting to try again: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's matter..."
"No need to say it, I won't go back." Gu Huiyan put the pen on the desk. Although his expression remained unchanged, a sudden air-conditioning appeared in the room, "My wife Yuan died of illness less than a month ago, and he He proposed to remarry, but the marriage was unexpectedly scheduled for February this year. Has he ever considered the thoughts of Princess Shoukang when he did this? Such a grown-up person can still be so naive and reckless."
Zhou Maocheng tried to speak to Gu Chengyao: "The prince is still young, how can he care about human relationships..."
"Young? He is already seventeen this year. When I was seventeen, I was awarded the title of King Yan and took over the entire Prince Yan's palace. Look at what he has done."
Zhou Maoguo really had nothing to say. In fact, no matter whose family he was placed in, seventeen years old was the age of a half-grown boy, not to mention the age of a noble boy in the capital, who was riding a horse on a leaning bridge and wearing red sleeves all over the house. But who made the prince's father, King Yan Gu Huiyan, become famous too early and shine too brightly. Gu Huiyan went to the battlefield at the age of fifteen, and fought a beautiful battle to become famous at the age of sixteen. Since then, his reputation has spread all over the country. Later, at the age of seventeen, he became the youngest prince of the Zhou Dynasty. At the age of twenty-five, he had made great military achievements and became the first emperor. The most trusted minister and nephew. When he was twenty-seven years old, he made a contribution to the support of King Qin, and when he was twenty-nine, he became the regent. Now, King Yan is only thirty-three years old, and he is already famous throughout the world, and no one knows about it.
Under the halo of his father, Gu Chengyao indeed seemed too weak. Gu Chengyao's performance in recent years is also remarkable. Looking at the younger generation in the capital, he is also one of the leaders. However, compared with his father, he is really not good enough.
Gu Huiyan was therefore dissatisfied with Gu Chengyao, and Zhou Maocheng had nothing to say. When Lin Weixi heard that King Yan did not go back to attend the wedding of Gu Chengyao and Gao Ran, she almost burst out laughing.
He was clearly on the road but avoided it. This was different from being unable to come back because of the war. Lin Weixi quickly lowered his head to hide his gloating. Zhou Maocheng, who was a loyal minister, couldn't hold it back, so he persuaded Yue Yue a few more words: "Your Majesty, I know that you have high hopes for the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is young after all. He is not like us, who stumbles and crawls in the flames of war. You have been trained to be a body of steel. The prince has always admired you, but unfortunately because of the war, we are always together less and more apart. It is rare for you to get along with the prince for a long time when you return to the capital. Even if you are dissatisfied, you should tell the prince slowly. "
Gu Huiyan did not express his position after hearing this, did not speak or showed any anger. However, this kind of behavior is often more terrifying than anger. Zhou Maocheng did not dare to say anything anymore and looked at Lin Weixi for help: "Daughter Lin, why don't you come and talk?"
Lin Weixi sneered in her heart, let her be the lobbyist? The ex-husband and his concubine are getting married. Do you expect her sister to bless their true love? Just a dream. Now Gu Chengyao's father and Gao Ran's future father-in-law are right in front of her. If Lin Weixi doesn't take advantage of this God-given opportunity to give them eye drops, her life will be in vain!
"Your Highness, King Yan, you are right. If your child does something wrong, you will be punished. You cannot spoil him! He is already such an old man. There is nothing he can bear. Without your protection, what will he do? Can’t you endure the unpleasant words?”
Zhou Maocheng looked at Lin Weixi in astonishment, but Gu Huiyan couldn't help but laugh: "You really hate him. That's all, I'll just listen to you and I won't tolerate it this time. But you are a child. Why are you so mature? You are one year younger than Gu Chengyao, and your lecturing tone is just like his elders."
Lin Weixi was called "Children's Family". She was originally very unhappy, but seeing the relieved expressions of the people around her, she probably guessed that King Yan's smile was still rare, at least it proved that nothing big would happen next. Lin Weixi rescued Gu Chengyao by mistake. She didn't want to do it, but she couldn't go too far. King Yan was kind to her, so it would be boring for her to provoke him again.
Looking at Lin Weixi's reluctant expression, Gu Huiyan felt more and more that this little girl was really alive, almost like she was in two different worlds from a solidified person like him. Gu Huiyan didn't want to embarrass her too much, so he asked: "I didn't ask you just now, what are you doing here?"
Lin Weixi almost forgot about this, she said quickly: "I came here specifically to say thank you to His Highness King Yan! Thank you for upholding justice for me, and thank you for taking me out of that wolf den."
It was just a matter of words, Gu Huiyan didn't take it to heart. He glanced at Zhou Maocheng, and Zhou Maocheng accepted the order and retreated. After there were no outsiders in the study, Gu Huiyan talked to Lin Weixi about her personal affairs: "Your aunt is too greedy and is not a good match. I sent someone to check on Mr. Li. His son is indecisive and embarrassing. You don't want to It is right to marry into this family. Although this county is very small, it is close to your hometown. If you start a family here, you can live a stable life and avoid the harassment of Lijia Village. I will ask the county magistrate to take it. I came here with a roster, and there are a few of them..."
Lin Weixi was completely disillusioned when he heard this: "Your Highness, King Yan, what are you doing?"
Gu Huiyan sighed slightly and looked at Lin Weixi with a very helpless look: "You were angry yesterday, so I let you go. But you are young and in your prime, so you are not really alone like the Ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. Just one?"
"Why not?" Lin Weixi looked at Gu Huiyan, her eyes moistened for some reason, "I thought you wouldn't be like this. I respect you from the bottom of my heart, but why do you have to force me?"
After Lin Weixi finished speaking, he didn't dare to look at Gu Huiyan's expression anymore, turned around and rushed out quickly. Zhou Maocheng stood guard outside the door and was shocked when he saw Lin Weixi rushing out with red eyes: "Daughter Lin, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Weixi said nothing and ran away. Zhou Maocheng was stunned for a moment, then looked into the study room and saw Gu Huiyan pressing his eyebrows with a headache.
Looking at the expressions of these two people, Zhou Maocheng frightened himself to death with the added drama in his mind. He stood at the door and asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what happened to Miss Lin?"
Gu Huiyan sighed more times that day than in the past year: "I blame me for forcing her to get married."
It turned out to be this, oh, it scared him to death. Zhou Maocheng breathed a sigh of relief quietly. He thought about what happened yesterday, struggled for a short moment, and decided to tell King Yan.
After Zhou Maocheng finished talking about Li Da, Gu Huiyan's expression turned pale. His face was covered with ice, and his voice was filled with anger: "Why didn't you tell me yesterday?"
"She is a thin-skinned little girl, how could she want people to know such a thing."
Gu Huiyan thought about it, and suddenly felt a little pity in his heart. He only said that she was losing her temper, and that's why she started arguing that she wouldn't marry. It turned out that she had done this kind of thing in private. She is a lonely and weak woman with no way to ask for help when encountering such a problem. No wonder she is so repelled by getting married. Gu Huiyan sighed in his heart, but the words he said were completely different and cold: "Ask Gu Mingda to come in."
Gu Mingda is King Yan's right-hand man, and Zhou Maocheng knew as soon as he heard that King Yan was really angry this time. King Yan has held a high position in recent years, and his emotions have become more and more reserved. It is rare that he lets his emotions out. It is worthwhile for Aunt Lin and her family to be able to do this.
