I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 71: Out of the Wall

Gu Cheng Yao made up his mind to get everything back on track. He accepted Yun Hui in order to distract him from another woman. Lin Wei Xi was his father's wife, his stepmother, how could he be distracted by such woman, giving in to the illusion that she was actually Gao Xi.

But Gu Cheng Yao did these things, also didn't want Lin Wei Xi to know. Three wives and four concubines were originally a common thing. It was natural he reported this matter to his father that day, but for some reason, facing Lin Wei Xi, he suddenly became unable to speak.

For an adult man, father and young stepmother were still different.

Gu Cheng Yao's face was cold like iron. Gao Ran thought that Gu Cheng Yao was offended because of Yun Hui's affair. She stretched out her hand and gently shook Gu Cheng Yao's arm. There was also unabashed concern in her eyes: "Shizi."

Gu Cheng Yao was not moved by Gao Ran's tenderness and consideration. He seemed to suppress his anger, and asked coldly: "Just a small matter, you can handle it in your own courtyard. Why did you make trouble in front of mother?"

Gao Ran was choked. She didn't understand why Gu Cheng Yao's focus was so strange, but Gu Cheng Yao really said it in front of so many people, which accused her this primary wife and mistress for being inefficient. Gao Ran was embarrassed, lowered her head and said in a low voice: "It's this consort's oversight, Shizi please calm down your anger."

"Shizi, in front of so many people, if you have something to say, let's say it privately." Lin Wei Xi reminded him lukewarmly. She didn't care about the personal affairs of Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran, but if they wanted to fight just fight in the back. Lin Wei Xi didn't want the two of them to quarrel in front of her.

Lin Wei Xi was the Wangfei, her words were very heavy, Gu Cheng Yao could only bow his head when he heard it: "Yes, this son lost his manners."

Gao Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Gu Cheng Yao accused her for managing things badly in front of everyone. Gao Ran was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Lin Wei Xi scolded Gu Cheng Yao to save Gao Ran some faces. Gao Ran didn't expect that one day she would have to rely on Lin Wei Xi to support her, her heart was really mixed. However, now was not the time to care about these things, Gao Ran hold on to the embarrassment in her heart, and gently raises her eyebrows, her expression was worried and awkward: "Mother, Shizi, Yun Hui was not observant of women's virtue, having an affair with outside man, this is daughter-in-law who was not strong enough in her discipline, please mother and Shizi punish me."

Gao Ran's words seemed begging for forgiveness, but they actually nailed Yun Hui to death. Illicit affairs in the inner courtyard was of course very disgraceful, and all the womenfolk would be implicated. However, for the mistress, it was only two sentences of punishment and a ban for a few days, but for the concubine itself, she would definitely die.

Yun Hui panicked, and quickly knelt on the ground and moved a few steps towards Gu Cheng Yao's knees, with tears in her eyes and looking miserable: "Shizi, you have to believe in this slave, this slave have been waiting for you for ten years. Since young has always wholeheartedly admired Shizi. Now this slave's wish finally comes true, I feel like I was in cloud nine. How can I betray Shizi? And also this man is less than one-tenth of Shizi. Even if this slave is really covered by lard (tn: stupid and confused) and deserves to be immersed in a pig cage. I would not choose him."

Having a woman lowered herself to dust, and said this in front of everyone, it would somewhat satisfy the self-esteem of some men. However, Gu Cheng Yao felt embarrassed when he heard it. He glanced at Lin Wei Xi slightly and quickly, and found that Lin Wei Xi was still cold and indifference. According to reason this was exactly the scene that he should expected, but for some reason, Gu Cheng Yao was disappointed.
