I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 77: Heir

Lin Wei Xi thought about these things, and didn't really pay attention to the stage play before her. Duke Yingguo old madam however were fascinated by it. She was holding her grandson in her arms, leaning on the soft padded couch, one play was exactly two hours. Gao Chen also followed the old madam's side to please her, with this kind of stage play most of the afternoon quickly passed by.

After another play ended, the old madam still wanted to continue. The Gao second lady quietly called the old madam from behind. The old madam came to her sense, and remembered the next step: "Wangfei, the Duke Mansion's stage is crude and simple, not as good as the Yan Wang Mansion, afraid slighting Wangfei today."

"How come." Although Lin Wei Xi smiled, the smile did not enter her eyes. "The troupe of the Duke Mansion is well prepared."

"Indeed." Duke Yingguo old madam was very proud. The elderly like her loved to watch these kind a thing to pass the time. The grandchildren below of course would listen together in order to get on her good side. The ancestors like it, wouldn't the troupes that was invited to the Duke Mansion all first class? Duke Yingguo old madam used herself to measure others, she thought with her pushing her grandson to show off in front of Wangfei, and invited Lin Wei Xi to watch a very wonderful play today, Lin Wei Xi should be very happy now. The old madam saw that the preparations was enough, and said: "However, no matter how good the Duke Mansion is, it is not as exquisite as the imperial household. A few days ago I cough a little, and the third girl that stupid child thought that I was seriously ill, so she hurried back. Now that I am fine, she should return to Yan Wang Mansion and continue serving Wangfei."

Hearing these words, Gao Ran stepped forward and bowed her head to salute to Lin Wei Xi: "Pay respect to mother. These few days this daughter-in-law can't serve by mother's side, and she blames herself very much. I wonder how mother's health these days?"

Lin Wei Xi said in her heart 'it finally come', she knew that the Duke Mansion specially held a banquet for Gao Ran's matters. Lin Wei Xi glanced at Gao Ran, and said in a light tone: "Shizi Consort get up. That day Shizi Consort left in a hurry, presumably the old madam was in serious condition. Since Shizi Consort want to serve her sick grandmother, then there's no harm to stay a few more days. Anyway, the mansion is no lack the serving people, and I also don't need you to follow me morning and night, so Shizi Consort can stay with ease."

Gao Ran maintained the posture of saluting, with her head lowered. Before Gao Ran could say anything, the Duke Yingguo old madam was already anxious: "This old body's health is already good, and there is no hindrance at all. The daughter-in-law cannot be absent from serving her mother-in-law for a day. She already wasting time here with me for so long. How can she continue to delay, and leaving Wangfei with no one around."

The Gao second lady also said: "Yes, the old ancestor has us. It is better for the third girl to stay with Wangfei."

If Gao second lady could be honest, if her daughter-in-law throw a cold face because her son took a concubine, directly set up a carriage and leave without asking her elders, and stayed in her parent's house for ten days, she would not show her daughter-in-law a good face. And Gao Ran's husband's family was still Yan Wang Mansion.

Lin Wei Xi smiled and let it go for a while, and said: "Since the old madam and the second lady said so, then I will take Shizi Consort to return home. The old madam's illness will leave it to the second lady to take care."

The Duke Yingguo old madam and Gao second lady both laughed. What illness, it was just an excuse to wipe Gao Ran's ass. But fortunately, Lin Wei Xi was relenting. This was already a great fortune, so the old madam didn't take those unlucky words to heart.
