I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 70: Red Apricot

When Lin Wei Xi rushed to Qingsong Garden, there were already a lot of people in there, craning their necks and looked around inside. Seeing Lin Wei Xi approaching, they hurriedly bumped each other, gave Lin Wei Xi a deep bow, then dropped their heads and shrank their shoulders and spread out.

The idlers who watched the show from the outside finally dispersed, only then Lin Wei Xi saw the situation inside. Yun Hui's attire were disheveled, her hair bun were loose, and her clothes were torn apart. Her face was deathly pale, only on the neck and the base of her ears could still see the unique red mark. With such big thing happened, Bu Mama also rushed over. She stood aside while looking anxious and angry. The news that Lin Wei Xi heard just now was sent by her.

Lin Wei Xi took a glance and then took her gaze back. Gao Ran was standing with a sullen face, and when she saw Lin Wei Xi, she lifted her skirt and walked down the steps quickly, folded her hands and saluted Lin Wei Xi: "Mother."

Lin Wei Xi didn't speak, her expression was still as cold as ice and frost, and many of the crowd, including Gao Ran, could only follow behind her with their heads down, as she walked through the porch and stood on the courtyard steps. Seeing Lin Wei Xi's arrival, Yun Hui lowered her head.

Lin Wei Xi asked slowly: "What's the matter?"

Gao Ran glanced at Yun Hui, and whispered to Lin Wei Xi: "Answering mother, today this daughter-in-law is celebrating her birthday, and there were many people coming and going in the courtyard. It is inevitable that many people will be mixed up. Yun Hui and the others were drinking alcohol and midway she said that she couldn't drink anymore. After that went back to her room. Later, the maid went to her room to find a key, and saw that... it was this daughter-in-law who had oversight. This kind of scandal happened, and it even alarmed mother."

Gao Ran's omission was very clever. With this kind of sentence, Yun Hui seemed to be caught doing something.

Yun Hui's crying eyes were swollen, the whole person seemed like a sorry figure. When she heard Gao Ran's words, she was afraid in her heart. She humbled and walked a few steps to Lin Wei Xi's direction, and mournfully grabbed the corners of Lin Wei Xi's skirt: "Wangfei please investigate, this slave would never dare to do such things. This slave has served Shizi for more than ten years, the sun and moon can be the witness for my loyalty, and now I have just been promoted, how can this slave do such a thing?"

Lin Wei Xi also felt that Yun Hui would not betray Gu Cheng Yao, at least not now. Lin Wei Xi had dealt with Yun Hui for a year in her previous life, but aside from anything else, Yun Hui's infatuation for Gu Cheng Yao was beyond doubt.

In the previous life, Yun Hui always wanted to challenge her, throwing nails openly and secretly, how ostentatious. But today, she could only kneel at Lin Wei Xi's feet in embarrassment, relying on Lin Wei Xi's sympathy to survive.

Lin Wei Xi sighed, but what does this have to do with her now? Lin Wei Xi did not show sympathy or intolerance, but still asked coldly, "Who first discovered it?"

A maid behind Gao Ran responded, "It's this slave."

Lin Wei Xi's tone was light: "Tell me the situation at that time again."

The maid hesitated and glanced at Gao Ran in secret. Gao Ran nodded slightly, and receiving the affirmation the maid then said, "At that time this slave were going to open the box to look for the cloisonne tea set, but the key to the tea set was kept by Yun yiniang. This slave searched many places, but she still didn't see Yun yiniang's figure. Later someone said that she saw Yun yiniang walked into her room, so this slave went to try her luck in Yun yiniang's room, who knows..."
