Gu Hui Yan's qigong training was excellent, he was still calm as before, as if he hadn't heard anything. When the people in the hall saw Yan Wang and Shizi coming, they hurriedly greeted them. Lin Wei Xi stood up when she heard the voices and saluted: "Wangye."

Gu Hui Yan naturally supported Lin Wei Xi. Lin Wei Xi only done half the greetings ceremony and then stood up with Gu Hui Yan's help. The other people in the room were a little surprised when they saw this. Gao Ran stared at Yan Wang's palm supporting Lin Wei Xi's arm, and couldn't believe that Yan Wang could be like this. How good this Lin Wei Xi.

Gu Cheng Yao withdrew his gaze from the overlapping hands of the two people, and greeted Lin Wei Xi with restrained eyes: "Mother."

Lin Wei Xi did not expect Gu Hui Yan would help her up in front of everyone. The wife was responsible for passing on the children and took charge of the food. What the husband had to do was respect, not intimacy. For a long time Lin Wei Xi had always understand it like this, and she had never expect a man could treat her with such cares. Lin Wei Xi's brain couldn't reacted. She was led to the seat by Gu Hui Yan in a daze, and sat side by side with Gu Hui Yan.

Gu Cheng Yao also took a seat immediately. There were a total of four masters in the house. Gao Ran's position suddenly became awkward. She was the only one who could not sit. The daughter-in-law should waited on the mother-in-law to eat, so before her mother-in-law said the words she could not sit down.

Coincidentally, Gao Ran was the only wounded person at the table. After the dishes were served on the dinner table, Gao Ran held up her chopsticks with the intention to give Lin Wei Xi the dishes. Lin Wei Xi gave her hand a quick glance and said, "Shizi Consort don't need to be in hurry to do her filial piety. Your hand is still hurt, so sit down, lest it will looks like I treat you harshly. Then it will be this stepmother's fault again."

Lin Wei Xi's words seemed to have other meaning. Gu Cheng Yao couldn't continue listening to it, so he stood up and said, "It was this son's fault for disrespecting mother yesterday. Mother please forgive."

It's really great to have a powerful father, could confidently make others easily forgive. Lin Wei Xi chuckled lightly and said, "I don't dare. Shizi is the only successor of the mansion. I'm just a second wife, how could I dare to point fingers at Shizi."

Many people's faces changed when they heard this. In their mind they actually thought so, but once it was spoken, the implications were too serious. Even if they faintly look down on her, Lin Wei Xi was Yan Wangfei, the mother of Shizi. Gu Cheng Yao frowned and said, "This son never think like that. Why mother get such idea?"

"You don't have this kind of thought, but you can't keep the people below for thinking like this." Lin Wei Xi's eyes swept mercilessly over Bu Mama, cold and fast. The others present may not be able to catch it, but Bu Mama the person involved, must had feel it. After Lin Wei Xi finished mocking the other, she said casually: "Shizi, Shizi Consort, sit down."

Although Lin Wei Xi's line of sight was quick, but the few people present were all smart people, how could neglect these details. Gu Cheng Yao noticed that Lin Wei Xi's eyes fell on Bu Mama behind him. He was embarrassed and also puzzled. Why, what did Bu Mama said to Lin Wei Xi? Bu Mama was not that kind of person, right?

Gu Cheng Yao continued to stand and refused to take a seat. Gao Ran also stood beside Gu Cheng Yao, frowning and said, "Mother, there must be a misunderstanding. If this daughter-in-law is not serving well, then mother can beat and scold me, but don't take your anger on Shizi for no reason."

Gao Ran was really annoying. This kind of selling pity made it looked like Lin Wei Xi found trouble without reason. Not only that, she also tried to step up to Lin Wei Xi while defending Gu Cheng Yao, to showed everyone that she was loyal and dependable. Lin Wei Xi was bored, and her tone of voices was also not good: "It's just a matter of fact. I'm also not related to him. Why would I take my anger on him? I know that Shizi Consort and Shizi have deep feelings, but before Shizi Consort defend Shizi, you should listen to what other people are saying."
