Yun Xiangye accidentally fell into a lake during a spring outing and was rescued by Gu Yan, a rich young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kindness, Yun Xiangye offe...
Chapter 147: Yun will regret it in the future
Inside the Censorate, Gu Yan was somewhat absent-minded today, but he still forced himself to calm down and handle official business.
During lunch break, Gu Yan saw his immediate superior, Mr. Chen, coming.
Master Chen said to Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, people are saying that you divorced your wife Yun. Is that true?"
Gu Yan said: "No, I didn't divorce my wife, she was the one who insisted on a divorce."
Lord Chen was slightly surprised and asked, "The Yun family must divorce you? Why would the Yun family insist on divorcing you?"
Gu Yan is only 21 years old now, but he has already handled the major case of supervising the tea tax in Jiangnan. His father is the left prime minister, so his future prospects can be said to be limitless.
Besides, Gu Yan's family background is one of the best in the Great Sheng Dynasty. His mother is the eldest princess, his father is the Prince of Ning who has made great military achievements, the current emperor is his uncle, and the current queen is his cousin. Except for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, even the princes of the Zhao prince's family may not have as good a background as Gu Yan.
What's more, Gu Yan's appearance is even better than his father's. His parents are both beauties, and his appearance is not inferior to them. If he were not a man, I'm afraid the title of the most beautiful woman in Chang'an would not have fallen to Miss Fu Er.
Yun actually wants to divorce such an outstanding man?
Lord Chen thought that if he were a woman and could marry Gu Yan, he would never agree to divorce.
Gu Yan said: "She just wants to divorce, Master Chen, it's not that I don't care about the kindness of bringing happiness to her and abandon her."
Master Chen said, "That's good. If you divorce your wife, you may be criticized. It's better if Yun is willing to divorce."

Inside the Prince of Chu’s Palace.
Princess Nan'an heard what the maid outside said, "What? Did cousin Yan really divorce Yun Xiangye?"
The maid nodded and said, "It's absolutely true. It has spread everywhere."
Princess Nan'an frowned and asked, "Why do you want to stop now?"
Princess Nan'an went in a hurry to look for Princess Chu. As soon as she walked out of the courtyard gate, she heard her father and Zhao Jing arguing.
The King of Chu frowned and said, "Your Majesty has already issued the imperial decree to grant the marriage, how can you still break off the engagement with Wei Xi? This shows that you don't take the Wei family seriously!"
Zhao Jing said, "Father, I didn't know that Gu Yan would divorce Xiang Ye at this moment. I want to break off the engagement with Wei Yu and marry Xiang Ye."
Princess Chu said, "Jing'er, this is absolutely not allowed. You said in front of His Majesty that you loved Wei Xi in order not to marry Princess Diya. Now that the imperial decree has been issued, you want to break off the engagement with Wei Xi. How will His Majesty think of you?"
The King of Chu also said: "Don't even think about breaking off the engagement with Wei Yu. Even if you break off the engagement with Wei Yu, I will never allow Yun Shi to enter the gate of my Chu Palace. Come, lock up the prince!"
Zhao Jing said: "Dad, Mom..."
The King of Chu frowned and said, "If you disobey the order now, it will only make His Majesty dislike our Chu Palace even more! Stop making trouble."
Princess Chu sighed and said, "Jing'er, just accept your fate. Don't you understand yet? You and Xiangye have missed each other time and again. It can only be said that you two are not destined to be together."
Zhao Jing frowned, his hands clenched into fists, veins bulging.

It didn't take long for the Ning Prince's Consort Yun to leave the Princess's Mansion, and this matter became the most hotly discussed topic in Chang'an.
As rumors spread that Prince Ning's wife was divorced and left the Princess's Mansion, all the gambling in the streets was cracked down by the government.
Even Ye Wanhe, who was pregnant in Mr. Tao's villa, heard that Yun Xiangye was divorced.
Ye Wanhe looked calm when she heard this, after all, she had known about this for a long time.
Ye Wanhe is now concentrating on embroidering swaddling clothes and small shoes for the baby in her arms. Although there are embroiderers in the palace's Shanggong Bureau who can make clothes for children, Ye Wanhe also wants to make some clothes for her unborn baby by herself.
Zhao Yun walked in from outside, looked at Ye Wanhe calmly embroidering the swaddling cloth, chuckled and said, "Let the embroiderer do this, why do you have to ruin your eyes?"
Ye Wanhe said: "I...I usually have nothing to do in the garden, and occasionally embroidering will tire my eyes."
Zhao Yun said: "It is enough to embroider for half an hour a day. You don't need to strain your eyes."
Ye Wanhe put down the swaddling clothes in her hand and said, "Then I am also very bored in the garden. Your Highness, can I ask someone to go outside the palace to buy some books for me to read? I also learned to write and read books when I was young, but later I had to study because I had to enter the palace. The master praised me before. I want to continue studying so that the baby in my belly can be influenced by him."
Zhao Yun said: "Reading is also very tiring for the eyes."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "Please hire a female teacher to teach me, and have a palace maid read to me, so I don't have to strain my eyes."
Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Where did this female teacher come from in Chang'an City?"
Ye Wanhe whispered, "I heard that Miss Fu is a famous talented woman in Chang'an. How about asking her to come and teach me?"
Zhao Yun frowned slightly, "It's inappropriate for her to enter my villa with her identity."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "If you feel that it is inappropriate for her to come in and out, then it would be fine to let Master Xie come with her to the Villa."
Zhao Yun thought about it carefully and said, "Then it's up to you."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "Your Highness, I have something to ask of you."
Zhao Yun asked, "What's the matter?"
Ye Wanhe whispered: "Now that I am Wei Zhenzhu, there is no need to keep my identity as Ye Wanhe. Your Highness, please give the palace maid Ye Wanhe a suitable place..."
Zhao Yun took Ye Wanhe into his arms and said, "Well, don't worry. I will put Ye Wanhe's name on the list of maids leaving the palace. From now on, you will only be the daughter of the Wei family and my crown princess."
Ye Wanhe said in Zhao Yun's arms: "Well, from now on... I will no longer be Ye Wanhe."
The palace maid Ye Wanhe has left the palace. Any serious crime committed by Wei Zhenzhu later that implicated the entire family has nothing to do with Ye Wanhe and the Ye family.
Zhao Yun whispered, "Have you heard any news from outside today?"
"Your Highness, are you talking about Gu Yan's plan to divorce Xiang Ye?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Yes."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "I heard that the most important thing between a husband and wife is trust. It's sad that the two of them have come to this point of divorce."
Zhao Yun stroked Ye Wanhe's head gently and said, "This is all Yun's fault. It was her blessing that Gu Yan married her, but she didn't cherish her and insisted on getting a divorce. Now that Yun has gotten her wish, she will regret it in the future."
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes to look at Zhao Yun and said, "I don't think it's Xiangye who will regret it, it's Prince Ning who will regret it first. Your Highness, do you want to take a gamble?"
Zhao Yun asked, "What are you betting on?"
Ye Wanhe said: "I'm betting on your She inkstone."
Zhao Yun couldn't help but chuckle, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Ye Wanhe said: "I would like to thank Your Highness first."
Zhao Yun squatted down and stretched out his hand to gently place on Ye Wanhe's lower abdomen, "Why do I feel that your belly is a little bulging?"
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "It must be because I gained some weight recently. Fortunately, the clothes I wore during the wedding can still fit me."
Zhao Yun touched Ye Wanhe's belly and said expectantly, "I have to wait another seven months before I can see him."
"Yeah, we have to wait another seven months."
Ye Wanhe concealed the hatred in her eyes. It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, and seven months is not too long.
