When Gu Yan saw the paper Yun Xiangye placed on the table, he frowned when he saw the word "divorce" at the beginning. After reading it carefully, he tore the divorce letter into pieces.

Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye with cold eyes and said, "You may not have heard at home that Zhao Jing is engaged to Wei Xi, and His Majesty has also issued an imperial decree to grant them marriage."

Yun Xiangye was surprised and asked, "How come they are engaged?"

Gu Yan said, "Do you really care about Zhao Jing?"

Yun Xiangye said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense. I'm just surprised that Zhao Jing and Wei Xi are engaged."

Yun Xiangye picked up a new piece of paper, picked up the pen and wrote the word "divorce" on it. She handed it to Gu Yan and said, "Sign it quickly, don't delay me from winning money."

"Win money?" Gu Yan asked, "What do you mean by winning money?"

Yun Xiangye snorted coldly, "Is Xiaoyao Pavilion a joint venture between you and Zhao Rui's brothers?"

Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes."

Yun Xiangye said, "The gambling house you and your brother run has been offering a bet for the past two days on when you'll divorce me. If you do so within ten days, the odds are incredibly high. I've already staked my entire 30,000 taels of silver. Sign quickly, or I'll win big."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "I don't know anything about this."

Yun Xiangye said coldly, "You've invested in Xiaoyao Pavilion, and you're not aware of this? Even if you didn't know, what do your brothers think of me? A figure they can use for gambling? Now, everyone in this city is certain you'll divorce me, and they're eager to see me go. How dare you say you're completely unaware of this? You're the Imperial Censor, how could you be unaware of any disturbance in Chang'an?"

Seeing Yun Xiangye's anger, Gu Yan said, "I really didn't know about this. If I knew, I would never let Zhao Rui mess around!"

Yun Xiangye said, "Zhao Rui is your cousin. He dared to do this, not because you have never truly respected me."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "Xiangye, I will teach Zhao Rui a lesson about this matter and make him kneel down in front of you and apologize!"

"Forget it!" Yun Xiangye said, "Just sign the divorce letter and let me win the silver."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "I will make him return the money you bet, but I will never sign this divorce letter."

Yun Xiangye said, "If you don't sign, fine. It's the same if I divorce you anyway. There's no difference between me divorcing you and being divorced."

Gu Yan frowned and said, "How can a woman divorce her husband in this world?"

Yun Xiangye said, "We haven't even had the three letters and six formalities, so we're not even officially considered friends. It's not too much for me to divorce you."

Yun Xiangye was about to sign the divorce papers. Gu Yan stepped forward, shook her hand tightly, and said with annoyance in his eyes, "Yun Xiangye, I can't let you make trouble again and again."

Yun Xiangye asked, "Do you still think I'm making a fuss?"

Yun Xiangye said, "Gu Yan, I'm telling you, from today on, the bond between you and me as husband and wife is severed. I will move out of the Princess's residence, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future!"

After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she hurried back to the main house to pack her luggage.

After four months in Qingfeng Garden, I had a lot more luggage.

Gu Yan followed him in and signaled the maids who were packing up to leave.

Gu Yan reached out and grasped Yun Xiangye's shoulders, holding her tightly in his arms. "I really didn't know about the gambling game in Xiaoyao Pavilion. Zhao Rui acted on his own, and I will definitely teach him a lesson. Don't leave. Nuonuo is still so young."

Tears rolled down Yun Xiangye's eyes. To this day, all Gu Yan cared about was that Nuonuo was still so young...

Yun Xiangye wiped away her tears with the back of her hand and said, "Gu Yan, if you cared about me a little, how could the people of Chang'an City think that I was going to be divorced by you? How could Zhao Rui dare to do this to my cousin's wife?

It's fine if someone else starts a gambling game, I don't care, but now it's you and your brothers who jointly opened the Xiaoyao Pavilion and started this gambling game. Do you really care about me at all?"

"Getting married between you and me was a mistake from the very beginning. I was repaying a favor, and you were seeking happiness. You've already recovered, and I've already repaid you. It's time for us to part ways."

Yun Xiangye slowly pushed Gu Yan away and said, "The three years we were together as husband and wife were wrong from the beginning. Even if you don't want to write the divorce letter today, I will write it and leave."

Yun Xiangye suppressed her tears and packed her clothes into the box.

Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye folding clothes and suddenly thought of the time when he left Jiangnan.

Yun Xiangye reluctantly sorted out the clothes at home, reluctant to leave Yongxing City with him...

Now Yun Xiangye packed her bags without any reluctance.

Yun Xiangye called Run'er in and said, "Go outside and call a carriage."

Run'er glared at Gu Yan angrily and replied, "Yes, young lady."

Gu Yan frowned beside him.

Yun Xiangye locked the box and said, "You must treat Nuonuo well in the future. Since you insist on having Nuonuo, please take good care of her. Nuonuo is a well-behaved child. She usually won't bully others for no reason. You must protect her well. Don't let Nuonuo suffer injustice like you did last time. Don't blame Nuonuo without knowing right or wrong, and don't be too harsh on her..."

The more Yun Xiangye spoke, the more she couldn't bear to part with her Nuonuo.

But Yun Xiangye knew that she had to leave, otherwise, the knot between her and Gu Yan that had never been resolved would only make her become less and less like herself.

Yun Xiangye was also afraid that she and Gu Yan would continue to quarrel, which would be more detrimental to Nuonuo's growth.

Seeing Yun Xiangye trying hard to hold back her tears, Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "You can take Nuonuo with you, but you are not allowed to take her back to Jiangnan. If you ever want to go back to Jiangnan, you must inform me first."
