Yun Xiangye, while boating on a spring day, lost her footing and fell into the lake. She was rescued by Gu Yan, a wealthy young master who was recuperating in Jiangnan.
To repay his great kin...
As soon as Yun Xiangye finished speaking, the entire lake fell into silence, with only the sound of ripples on the water caused by the wind.
Gu Yan spoke after a long while: "I have explained countless times why I hid my identity from you for three years, and I really don't think my identity is important..."
"But I think your deception is more serious!" Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan, a tear falling from her eyes, "I must divorce you."
Gu Yan was silent for a while before saying, "We'll talk about the divorce later. Don't you want to keep this a secret from your uncle and aunt? Don't you want them to worry about you?"
Yun Xiangye wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said, "Once my sister's affairs are resolved, you and I will divorce immediately. Nuonuo can be yours, but if you find a stepmother for her, Nuonuo must stay by my side."
Gu Yan just frowned and didn't answer.
Seeing that Gu Yan didn't say anything, Yun Xiangye went into the cabin and fell asleep.
But after a moment, she heard Run'er's cry. As soon as she got out of the cabin, she saw Qing Ming and two guards from Gu Yan rowing towards her, with Run'er holding a lantern.
Yun Xiangye breathed a sigh of relief, finally not having to spend a night on the lake.
Yun Xiangye boarded Run'er's boat and asked, "Is Nuonuo asleep yet?"
"Nanny Cao has already taken Nuonuo to bed."
Yun Xiangye was relieved, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they returned to Qingfeng Garden.
Yun Xiangye first went to see the sleeping Xiao Nuonuo, and carried Xiao Nuonuo back to her own room. Looking at Nuonuo who was sleeping with her eyes closed under the candlelight, Yun Xiangye looked at Nuonuo's soft little face and felt reluctant to leave.
But she also understood that instead of continuing to torture herself and Gu Yan like this, it would be better to divorce.
After the divorce, her love for Nuonuo will never change.
Nuonuo is still her most beloved baby.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and Nuonuo at the door and couldn't help but frown. He really couldn't understand why Yun Xiangye was so resistant to him having concealed her identity for three years and insisted on getting a divorce.
Gu Yan entered the room, sat on the bed, and said to Yun Xiangye, "Since you love Nuonuo so much, why do you insist on getting a divorce? Do you know how much damage a divorce will cause Nuonuo? Although I have concealed my identity from you, I will not hide it from Chang'an once you marry me. After we get married, I will write a letter to His Majesty to grant you the title of Crown Prince Consort..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "You simply don't understand that what I want is never the position of Prince Ning's Consort. What I want is for my husband to be honest with me, not just lie to me. I have made up my mind about the divorce, so there is no need for you to say anything more."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and said, "Yun Xiangye, if we really want to divorce, you won't be able to take Nuonuo away from the Gu family."
Yun Xiangye said, "I know, but you can't stop me from meeting Nuonuo."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, feeling annoyed. "Do you really want to divorce?"
"Yes." Yun Xiangye nodded, "I meant it from the beginning when I said divorce."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and left the room.
Yun Xiangye fell asleep holding Nuonuo in her arms. Her uncle and aunt were coming, so she still had to get a good sleep to replenish her energy and blood.
The next morning, when Yun Xiangye woke up, she saw Xiao Nuonuo playing with a tiger doll beside her.
When Xiao Nuonuo saw Yun Xiangye wake up, he gave the tiger doll to Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye threw the tiger doll to play with Xiao Nuonuo, and Xiao Nuonuo laughed happily.
After playing with little Nuonuo for a while, Yun Xiangye held her in her arms and said, "Nuonuo, mother has something to tell you. Mother and father are getting divorced. Nuonuo has to stay with father. Mother can no longer accompany Nuonuo every day."
Little Nuonuo quickly threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms and said, "Nuonuo wants mother, I want mother!"
Yun Xiangye touched Nuonuo's little head and said, "After the divorce, mother is still Nuonuo's mother."
Xiao Nuonuo reached out and hugged Yun Xiangye, saying, "Mother."
Yun Xiangye hugged little Nuonuo and chuckled, "Dear, my great uncle and aunt, as well as my aunt and uncle, will be here tomorrow. Do you remember them?"
Little Nuonuo said in a baby voice: "Auntie, uncle."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently. She stood up holding Nuonuo and changed Nuonuo into a thin spring outfit.
The sun is very strong outside today, and it feels a bit hot inside the house.
Yun Xiangye went out and was about to go to the embroidery workshop when she saw Gu Jingyu also about to go out.
"Jingyu, where are you going?"
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, Nuonuo, I'll go take Sister Ye's pulse."
Yun Xiangye said, "I'll go with you. My uncle and aunt will be coming to Chang'an tomorrow, and I want to talk to you, too."
Gu Jingyu said: "Okay."
"aunt."
When Gu Jingyu heard Nuonuo calling her, she took Nuonuo from Yun Xiangye's arms and hugged her, "Nuonuo is so good."
Yun Xiangye and Gu Jingyu walked to Tao Gong's Villa, which was two miles away from the Princess's Mansion. The streets along the way were bustling and lively.
Entered into Tao Gong's Villa.
Gu Jingyu first felt Ye Wanhe's pulse, and after a while she said, "Sister Ye, the baby in your belly is much more stable now, but you still have to be careful before it's three months old."
Ye Wanhe said, "Thank you, Princess Jingyu."
Gu Jingyu chuckled and said, "As a doctor, this is my duty. I still have some things to do at the pharmacy, so I'll leave now. If Sister Ye has any problems, feel free to come to the Princess's Mansion to find me."
Ye Wanhe nodded gratefully at Gu Jingyu and said, "Okay."
After Gu Jingyu left, Ye Wanhe saw Yun Xiangye standing beside her and said, "Sister, your eyes are swollen. Did you cry last night? Did Gu Yan bully you again?"
