I Became The Stepmother of My Ex-husband

Chapter 2: 2. Forced to marry

Views:

Lin Weixi finally woke up from the nightmare, she suddenly broke free from the dream, opened her eyes and looked at the half-old tent, her limbs were stiff and her heartbeat was beating.

She was dreaming about her past life again. His failed marriage, his despair and self-abandonment when he died, the strange book in his dream, and the overwhelming horror and gratitude in his heart when he just woke up in Lin Weixi's body.

Gao Xi has passed away completely. After that, there will be no Gao Xi in the world. The eldest granddaughter of the British Duke has become a cold tablet with the burial of the Prince and Concubine Yan. Gao Xi is dead, and her identity and status, grievances and censures belong to Gao Xi, and it has nothing to do with her.

Resurrection from the dead is already a great gift. She is Lin Weixi. She should never be trapped by those sluts in her previous life. She should start a new life of her own.

Thinking like this, Lin Weixi slowly recovered from the horror of the nightmare. She sat up, moved her wrists gently, and then walked gently to the ground.

It has been a month since Lin Weixi came here. This month is not long or short, but it is enough for her to understand Lin Weixi's situation. Speaking of which, she still has some relationship with the original owner. When she was Gao Xi, when she was eleven years old, she came back from the Princess Mansion and met a father and daughter at the gate of the British public. This kind of incident was not in front of her eyes, and the driver of the car was afraid that she would be angry, so he hurriedly reprimanded the father and daughter for going away. Gao Xi casually lifted the curtain and saw a downtrodden man standing in front of the doorman, angry because he was humiliated by his servants, but he looked back at his cowardly daughter, but he held back his breath and pleaded with his nostrils in a good voice. Chaotian's concierge gave him a chance. He is very strong and can be a nursing home.

The man lowered his breath, the thin little girl coughed lowly from time to time, and her small hand was always tightly clutching the hem of the man's clothes. Gao Xi's heart was suddenly moved. She wasn't very close to her father since she was a child. No matter what she did, the Prince of England just said "oh" in a moderate manner, and then turned to tease the concubine with a smile on his face. Two siblings. The prince of the United Kingdom complained that she was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who was always close to her mother and the eldest princess Shoukang, but who would have known that Gao Xi, the eldest lady with eyes above the top, also craved fatherly love.

Gao Xi put down the curtain and gave a few words to his personal maid. The maid gave Gao Xi a surprised look, but jumped out of the car obediently and gave the father and daughter twenty taels of emergency money. Gao Xi guessed that this man was in order to raise medical expenses for his daughter, which was why he was so anxious that he even hesitated. A penny stumbles a hero, and it is not easy for anyone to live. Twenty-two is nothing to Gao Xi. If you can help them, it will be considered that Gao Xi has fulfilled his childhood desire for fatherly love.

Gao Xi didn't know what happened next. She didn't show up, didn't ask the father and daughter's names, and didn't tell them who she was. If this is Gao Ran, it must be revealed inadvertently, especially to let people know that it was Gao Ran who did good deeds, but Gao Xi would not. This is her style of doing things. What she wants to do is her own business, and there is no need to use other people's hardships to fulfill her own reputation.

It was just a chance encounter, and then she completely forgot about it. Later, when the Concubine Bu's rebellion broke out, everyone in Beijing was in danger, and she was not in the mood to think about it. However, who would know that the father and daughter she rescued back then had another fortune. The man was named Lin Yong, and the little girl who was seeing a doctor was named Lin Weixi. Lin Yong used the twenty taels to cure his daughter's emergency and managed to save her daughter's life. At that time, King Yan entered the capital of King Qin, and Lin Yong was born with divine power. He joined King Yan and then sent his daughter back to his hometown, while he followed King Yan to give his daughter a dowry.

In the thirteenth year of Jianzhao, Mu Zong died, and before his death, King Yan was established as one of the three auxiliary ministers. King Yan could only stay in the capital and set up the young emperor's eldest son as emperor. After a year, the frontier was in trouble again. In February, King Yan took the manpower out of the capital and went to the frontier to pacify the chaos.

To quell the rebellion, support the new emperor, and go to the border to suppress the enemy, all of which will inevitably require a large number of people. Lin Yong took this opportunity to gain a firm foothold under the command of King Yan, and gradually made some famous names, and was fortunate enough to attract the attention of King Yan. King Yan saw that Lin Yong was indeed a talented person, so he ordered him to go on an expedition with him. This time, the Duogulati tribe in the northwest frontier took the opportunity to cause trouble. The terrain was complicated and the climate was bitter and cold. King Yan took some time to turn around and gradually gained the upper hand.

During a small-scale siege, King Yan was ambushed, and Lin Yong died to save King Yan. Lin Yong was a strong man. Even though he was hit by three arrows in the back, he still tried his best to escort King Yan to break through, but it was a pity that Lin Yong was too seriously injured and was too weak to rush out. The Duo Huer Ti Department failed to win with all their might, and became angry, so they vented their anger on Lin Yong, who had contributed the most, even if he died. Two or three days later, Lin Yong's head was cut off and hung from the city gate to demonstrate to King Yan.

King Yan spent a year to almost wipe out the Duogulati tribe. All the young men and boys were killed, leaving only the old man, women and children. In the following year, King Yan supported a new regime, took over the women and property of the Duogualti tribe, and formed a check and balance with the other two tribes in the north. After the northwest reason was cleared up, King Yan brought Lin Yong's corpse and the class teacher returned to the court.

When the news of King Yan's victory was sent back to the capital, the capital was overjoyed, and the little emperor, following the instructions of Da Bao and Mr. Zhang, pretentiously wrote a letter to ask King Yan what reward he wanted. King Yan has already reached the prince of ten thousand households, and Quan is also the regent minister. He has nothing in the world. If he has to say that his princess has been dead for ten years, he may lack a new wife.

But the reward that King Yan asked for was beyond everyone's expectations. He did not ask for money or an official position for his only son, but asked the emperor to confer the martyr Lin Yong as a martyr. It's just an honorary marquis. This is much easier than awarding a reward to Prince Yan's mansion, and doing so is also beneficial to the court's reputation. Therefore, the first assistant, Mr. Zhang, agreed to Prince Yan's request without hesitation. The deceased Lin Yong was named Marquis of Zhongyong.

Lin Yongfa's wife died of illness for many years, and there is only one daughter under his knees. The title of Marquis of Zhongyong has come to an end. What Lin Weixi can use is nothing more than the reward and fame that his father bought with his life.

In the second year of Yuanjia, the news of Lin Yong's tragic death was sent to the Lin family by the King of Yan. It was not until October in the fourth year of Yuanjia that the imperial court named Lin Yong the Marquis of Zhongyong. At this time, Lin Weixi had to be filial to her father for three years. She was already physically weak, and her mother died in childbirth when she was born. Dependent on each other, the original body can last until now, just waiting for King Yan to send someone to send Lin Yong's skeleton back to the homeland.

Lin Weixi remembered that a month ago, the timid little girl in the original body suddenly appeared in her dream with a smile, and said that she was going to find her father. Presumably at that time, Lin Yong's remains had already set foot on the land of Dazhou. Come on.

From the original point of view, the reputation of the orphaned daughter of the Hou Zhongyong, and the large amount of land canonized by the imperial court were not as important as the bones of his father. Therefore, the original body waited until her father and left with confidence, and Gao Xi, who had a good relationship with the Lin family, was able to be reborn as a result.

It is now the first month of Yuanjia's fifth year. Gao Xi died of illness in December last year. The original owner followed Lin Yong. It has been a month now.

This is Lin Weixi's life experience, Gao Xi, or Lin Weixi sighed for a while, then fetched water and stumbled to pack up his appearance.

This was almost unimaginable in Lin Weixi's previous life. Even the second-class maid in the Duke's Mansion didn't have to do rough work such as sweeping. Since Lin Weixi was born, even when washing his hands, he spread his fingers and wiped by the maid. Now she has to learn to wash her face, comb her hair, and even fetch water to wash her clothes.

In fact, Lin Yong has already been canonized as the Marquis of Loyalty and Yong by the court. Even if he does not dare to compare with the wealthy families in the capital, in a small country, it is enough for Lin Weixi to live a life of comfort and food. Lin Weixi now needs to do everything by himself. In fact, he has to start from the day of the award.

The emperor in the capital ascended the throne at the age of eight, and he was only twelve years old this year. A half-year-old child, how can you expect him to rule the country. Today, it is said that the young emperor is in power, but in fact, all the decrees of the whole country come from the hands of Zhang Xiaolian, the chief assistant.

The class of Shoufu has nothing to do with the current Lin Weixi. Zhang Xiaolian has been operating in the capital. After he is satisfied with the reputation of loving and cherishing talents, he will hand over the matter of golden books and iron coupons to the following people. . Although the Marquis of Zhongyong is a marquis and has the name of loyalty and bravery, he has no brothers, no sons, no clan, and only a lonely daughter behind him. He will not be able to find anyone who is in his early years. When the hands of the heavy officials were sent to Lin Weixi, they had already been hollowed out.

Lin Weixi is still angry when she thinks of this. She came late. She doesn't know what happened on the day when the imperial commissioner arrived. She only knew that after the imperial commissioner read the imperial decree, Lin Weixi should receive the decree, but I don't know what happened later. The imperial court's awards were also carried to the government office. Lin Weixi was angry and anxious, this was obviously because he didn't get enough money for the day, and was hacked. It's also Aunt Lin's family who are short-sighted. Why do you want money? Get the imperial decree and the golden book and iron coupons!

Most of the rewards awarded by the imperial court were detained by county and village officials, and the leftovers from these so-called "parental officials" were taken over by Aunt Lin's family. In the end, what really fell into the hands of Lin Weixi, the only daughter, turned out to be only a "loyal and loyal daughter".

If she wants to get back Lin Yong's things, Lin Weixi has to spend money to find a way. If it was in the past, Lin Weixi could just say something, but now she is no longer the concubine of the Prince of Yan's house, she wants to get back Lin Yong's things, Just have to figure it out for yourself.

Lin Weixi thought about taking back the imperial decree and iron coupons, and stumblingly twisted the towel in his hand, finally tidying himself up to the point where he could see people. Speaking of which, Lin Weixi's skin is really stunning. In her previous life, she had seen so many officials, ladies, nobles and beauties. In terms of facial features, no one could compare to Lin Weixi. It is an extreme delicacy, extreme beauty, and even more, because it is too beautiful, it will make people contempt.

Lin Weixi just washed his face and wiped his arms, but he actually wet most of the floor. Lin Weixi was stunned and wanted to go out and find something to wipe the floor.

Just as she put her hand on the door, she suddenly heard voices from outside.

Aunt Lin probably thought that Lin Weixi had not woken up, or even if she woke up, she was not afraid that she would hear. Aunt Lin had been begging for a living with the land all her life, but a group of officials suddenly came, and she sent imperial decrees and many rewards. Aunt Lin thought nothing of it. No wonder.

"My younger brother was short-lived, his daughter-in-law died when his daughter was born, and he died on the battlefield in order to save people. My sister, I feel sorry for him! He sent the orphaned daughter to our house six years ago, and our family still has There are many mouths for eating, suddenly there is a medicine jar, such a big burden, did I say anything?"

Lin Weixi's hand that pushed the door suddenly stopped, and she quietly listened to the undisguised conversation outside through a door.

"Sister-in-law Lin, I know you have a good heart and raised a daughter for your brother for six years, but now that your brother has achieved fame, Sister Xi is no longer a drag, she is now Lord Hou's daughter! It's a pity that she is not a man, Your brother's title can only be a pity. But the title can't be retained, but money will never deceive people. Sister Xi has so much dowry, and she will be very blessed to marry in the future."

Aunt Lin was not very happy when she heard this: "I am his only sister, and he is gone now. The money he earned can surpass me and leave it to Sister Xi? My daughter belongs to someone else. I'm his brother-in-law's elder sister. Besides, a daughter of Xi's family can't hold the title, our family Li Da is a boy!"

Li Da, the son of Aunt Lin, is now nineteen years old and has not yet married. He had been idling around all day, and now he doesn't know where to go.

Wang Po is a famous matchmaker in Shili Baxiang, she could only laugh when she heard this. Although on the surface she was friendly, Wang Po couldn't help but murmured in her heart. She heard that the family property was left to her brother and her daughter, but she had never heard of letting her nephew come over to inherit the title. What kind of truth is this

But she came here to kiss her, so there was no need to argue with Aunt Lin, Wang Po continued to laugh and said, "Sister Lin is right, you are Sister Xi's aunt, her parents are dead, and marriage matters will naturally require you. Come to be the master. Sister-in-law, this son of Liu Yuanwai's family is very popular. Sister Xi is married to be a young grandmother. She doesn't need to go to the ground or manage the housework. There is even a little maid to serve it! Sister-in-law, it's not me. This matchmaker is for the main house, but Liu Yuanwai's family is really good, how many big girls in Shili Baxiang want to marry into their family, and now Liu Yuanwai is willing to let Sister Xi be the main house, which is a great good thing!"

Isn't it a great good thing, Lin Weixi has a huge inheritance in his name, and he has no brothers and uncles to support him. Whoever married her would have won a sky-high dowry for nothing. What's more, he can also use the name of Lin Yong's loyal and brave lord to gild his descendants. In the future, he will be able to go to office, do business, and test for fame. There are many benefits.

Lin Weixi's fingers clenched unknowingly. Her father was not filial, so these people came to force her to marry.
