I Became The Stepmother Of My Ex Husband - Chapter 35
Shangyuan was full of lights, it was Weixi. The sky will be bright and not bright, it is for Xi. Wan Xing inquired about for several days, and Lin Weixi finally pieced together the truth about the dowry.
Last year Gao Xi died of an illness, and Wang Yan’s family has a lot of business. Naturally, he will not be greedy for his wife’s dowry, so Gao Xi’s dowry was left to the British government intact. The British government’s idea of remarrying a girl with the surname Gao came in, which was very generous in dowry. Later, the British Prince and Gu Chengyao reached a consensus and asked Gao Ran to marry Gao Ran. The British government was overjoyed. At the same time, it was also overwhelmed by Gao Ran. So he transferred all Gao Xi’s dowry to Gao Ran, and also discounted some cash plugs to Gao. Then make the bodyguard money.
Gao Xi is the eldest daughter of the Guogong Mansion, and her own dowry is very expensive, and her mother Wei Shi has only her one child, Wei Shi dowry plus the dowry prepared by the British government, and Princess Shou Kang private subsidies. Gao Xi’s wealth can be imagined.
Later, Gao Xi died of illness without leaving the child. If the married daughter has no children, the dowry must be returned to the family. At that time, Gao Ran’s re-marriage was already firmly established. The British father-in-law wanted to win over the in-laws of King Yan’s Mansion. That high-ranking attitude was very important. The British father-in-law suffered a lot of bleeding and transferred most of Gao Xi’s dowry to Gao Ran. , In addition, four new sets of head and face jewelry were added. However, Gao Xi’s dowry still contains the things of the Wei family. If it is an ordinary daughter-in-law, the British grandma, the mother-in-law, can directly call the shots, but Wei has a princess, which is a bit tricky.
Wei has been dead for many years, she has a daughter under her knees, and Wei’s dowry should be inherited by Gao Xi, and her family has no right to recover it. The trouble is that Gao Xi also passed away at a young age, and she did not leave any money. The British government was very nervous when handling Gao Xi’s estate. Although the princess Shoukang has no successors in these years, she is seeing decline, but as long as Shoukang is alive for one day, she is the royal guest, the grandmother of the current emperor. The decline of Shoukang Princess Mansion is the royal family’s own business. If outsiders dare not to face the princess, then the royal family won’t make sense with you.
The British government was scrupulous about the senior princess, and could only politely handed over the words to the princess’s mansion, asking Shoukang how to deal with Gao Xi and even the dowry left by Wei’s back then.
Princess Shoukang enjoys royal worship for a lifetime. She opened her own door and set up her own account. She didn’t have to be angry with her mother-in-law and sister-in-law. Her property was nothing but a foreign object. Although the princess mansion where Shou Kang lives now bears her title, after she dies, the princess mansion will be taken back by the clan mansion and will be awarded to another princess after repairs. It has nothing to do with the family of the horse and the horse. . Princess Shoukang does not have a son, and the family property of Nuo Da will be returned to the national treasury after death, so the dowry of the married daughter is not as valued as the ordinary family.
If this is an ordinary concubine, after Gao Xi’s death, Wei’s dowry is inherited by the concubine, even if this concubine has nothing to do with Wei and 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 nest of **** take such a big advantage? After receiving the letter, Princess Shoukang sneered, and immediately ignored the faces of her in-laws, and ordered the long history of her house to go to the British government. The government planned to prepare Gao Ran to marry her, but Wei’s things, What she prepared for her granddaughter Gao Xi had to bring back a melon seed.
After many years, the princess mansion took back the dowry of the daughter-in-law. The meaning of face-slapping was too heavy. The high-ranking households valued face the most. In this way, the princess Shoukang did this to treat the face of the British mansion in front of the entire capital. Throw it on the ground and step on it. The British husband-in-law is so angry, but who is the most noble in the family. The British lady-in-law was so angry that she didn’t dare to do anything to Princess Shou Kang except for a few words with her son and wife in private. Now that the in-laws of the two houses have become feuds, the British elders and wives are also cold-faced, secretly talking about those things that are rare in the princess’s house. They are dignified in the British government. Can the Gao family’s married daughters still not afford a dowry?
So Gao Ran’s dowry was the part prepared by the British government in Gao Xi’s dowry, and some four-season clothes and gold and silver jewelry were added to the back. Of course, these dowries cannot be said to be bad, but they are more expensive than normal in the capital. Female level. There are many nobles in the capital like dogs, and there are too many princes and women who have superior family background and favored maidens, and Gao Xi’s dowry is simply sky-high in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is nothing more than that in the eyes of women of the same class.
Wei is the only daughter, and Gao Xi is also the only daughter. The accumulation of dowries for three generations cannot be underestimated, and Gao Ran does not have the financial support of his mother’s family. The dowry prepared by the British government is actually mediocre. After all, the British government has prosperous descendants. Even if Gao Ran is married, he is no more than a married woman. Can he compare with the sons and grandsons of the government? However, if Gao Ran gets the financial power of her husband’s house in the Yan Dynasty, it is another matter. No matter how deep the family is, don’t compare richness and nobility with the royal family. The day that can be compared is probably the day when the family is cut off.
Lin Weixi breathed a sigh of relief after learning that the dowry of his mother Wei’s dowry and the privately subsidized land deeds of her grandmother had been taken back by the princess mansion. That’s good, the dowry given to her by the British government is the private property of the Gao family, and they are willing to transfer it to Gao Ran, Lin Weixi has nothing to say, and doesn’t care much. But the relics of his mother Wei can’t be taken in by Gao Ran anyway.
His mother’s relics and grandmother’s things did not fall into Gao Ran’s hands. Lin Weixi was extremely happy. For a few days, he was refreshed with happy events, and even looked at Gao Ran’s eyes with kindness. In this way, what Gao Ran got was far from what she had originally. Lin Weixi deeply regretted this and was extremely happy.
At this time, thinking about the graceful behavior of showing off wealth a few days ago, Lin Weixi felt more and more ridiculous. Lin Weixi looked at Gao Ran with an inexplicable smile all night. Lin Weixi did not deliberately conceal his movements, Gao Ran was a little hairy for some reason, and even Gu Chengyao glanced at Lin Weixi strangely.
In the second half of the meal, Lin Weixi basically stopped moving the chopsticks, just poking at her own rice like a peck. After Gu Huiyan stopped, she immediately put the chopsticks down. Xu was too quick to put the chopsticks, so Gu Huiyan took a look at this place: “Eat well, don’t giggle.”
Lin Weixi was very dissatisfied with this sentence: “What is a giggle?”
The other servants in the room were shocked and numb when they heard this, even Gu Chengyao was not surprised. The hostess Lin is a very special existence in the palace. No matter who offends, she cannot offend Lin.
Sure enough, Gu Huiyan didn’t care when he heard this contradiction. Instead, he changed the subject and talked about another thing: “You will get rid of the service in May. There is not much time left until now. Are all relevant things ready?”
Lin Weixi pursed her lips. She didn’t answer, but turned her face to look at Gu Huiyan: “I want to get rid of the clothes in the Yanwang Mansion?”
Gu Huiyan glanced at her lightly: “Otherwise?”
The people listening next to him were a little untenable. King Yan offered to give Miss Lin a filial piety, but Lin Weixi still showed reluctance? Gao Ran’s expression wasn’t very good at the time. Lin Weixi was too embarrassed of Qiao, and King Yan was really too. Why was this kind of hypocritical and pretentious woman so used to her? But Gu Huiyan mentioned this, and Gu Chengyao, who was sitting next to him, had no objection. Gao Ran just smiled and agreed: “Filial piety is a big thing. Miss Lin can get rid of filial filial piety in the Yanwang Mansion, and she really has a relationship with the Wangfu. I haven’t done anything about this. If there is something uncomfortable, please forgive me.”
Gao Ran secretly buried the nail in his words. This is a polite sentence. Who knows that Lin Weixi really answered: “Since the concubine has never done anything about the wedding or funeral, then forget it. Funeral is not a big deal, myself. Arrangement is enough, there is no need for the concubine to study now.”
When these words came out, Gao Ran was suddenly embarrassed. Gao Ran didn’t expect that a polite remark would actually be brought online by Lin Weixi. Her mouth stiffened and said to herself: “Although I am young, I am also guided by my grandmother and elders at home. She has been involved in some major events. Since Miss Lin lives in the palace, she is a distinguished guest of our house. Apart from serving this kind of affairs, how can you, as a guest, prepare it yourself?”
“What’s wrong, I’m the only one left in the Lin family. If I don’t meet His Royal Highness, what can’t I do by myself?” Lin Weixi glanced to the side when she said that, she dared to go back in person, but she didn’t dare. Brush Gu Huiyan’s face. To put it bluntly, the right to decide on this matter is still in the hands of Gu Huiyan. Seeing Gu Huiyan’s expression calm and calm, Lin Weixi felt the invisible pressure and hurriedly said flattery: “I am related to His Royal Highness Yan. It’s not because of the predestined relationship with King Yan’s Mansion. It makes no sense to ask King Yan’s Mansion to help me remove the clothes. Your Royal Highness Yan is right?”
“Why is there no fate?” Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi, his eyes were easy-going, but what he said was completely different, “There is a difference between King Yan’s Mansion and I?”
“Of course there is a difference. King Yan is you, but King Yan’s Mansion is a family entrusted by the court. If someone else in the palace instigates me, I will definitely ignore it, but if it’s King Yan you, then you can just open your mouth. Keep going.”
Gu Huiyan finally laughed and glanced at Lin Weixi lightly: “You can speak.”
Lin Weixi knew there was a play when he heard it: “Then this is the case?”
“It’s up to you.”
Lin Weixi smiled immediately, and at the end he didn’t forget to make a knife in Gao Ran’s direction: “Although the guest is up to you, it is better not to bother you two. The concubine does not have to worry about learning. His Royal Highness has agreed. I’ll toss it myself.”
Gu Huiyan felt helpless and funny when he didn’t forget to bring him. This kind of little girl’s mind is too far away from him. Gu Huiyan is used to being surrounded by blood-stained military newspapers or cold court battles. Suddenly, a little girl pulls him into the scheming of his children, as if he was also infected. The fireworks of another world. Although thin and shallow, it doesn’t feel bad.
Gao Ran and Gu Chengyao sat together, and when Lin Weixi glanced at Gao Ran, Gu Chengyao naturally saw it. Both his upbringing and childhood experience tell him that he should like gentle and generous women, and Gu Chengyao has also thought so for so many years. Lin Weixi runs counter to the female virtues he expected. Gu Chengyao originally thought he would get bored, but when he really encountered Lin Weixi’s undisguised provocation, he found that he was not impatient, but he was calm and faintly helpless. It’s like…indulging.
Gu Chengyao was taken aback by his own thoughts, and immediately he laughed at himself. He was thinking about something, Gao Ran was destined to pursue it. He was just because of his father’s face, so he tolerated Lin Weixi in every possible way.
