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...
Yun Xiangye sneered, "No matter how beautiful Chang'an is, I won't go there as long as you're here."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, "Xiangye, I really know I was wrong. I stayed up all night to come to you. Don't make trouble..."
Yun Xiangye said, "You're going to accuse me of making trouble again, right?"
Gu Yan hurriedly said, "You didn't make a fuss. I know you are angry, and I also know it is my fault. Come with me back to the Princess's Mansion, and I will punish you however you want."
Yun Xiangye sneered, "I'm not going back to the Princess's Mansion with you. I want to celebrate the Lantern Festival with my aunt. I haven't seen my aunt in eight years."
Gu Yan frowned slightly and thought for a while, "Then I will go with you to Luoyang to see my aunt. After you and I got married, I have never visited my aunt."
Yun Xiangye snorted angrily, "We're about to get divorced, so there's no need for you to go see my aunt."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, she walked around Gu Yan and carried Nuonuo into the carriage.
Run'er also hurriedly got on the carriage.
Yun Xiangye was furious in the car, frowning, "What bad luck!"
Xiao Nuonuo looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Mom, don't be angry."
Yun Xiangye caressed her little face, smiled at her lovely daughter and said, "Okay, mother is not angry."
Outside the carriage, Su Zhan watched Gu Yan climb onto his horse, intending to follow them to Luoyang. He stepped forward and said, "Prince, it's cold outside. Why don't you come with me to the carriage in front? You look like you haven't slept all night, have you? Come on in the carriage and get some rest."
Gu Yan did not refuse. After riding a fast horse in the cold winter wind all night and worrying all night, he was indeed a little tired.
After Gu Yan got on Su Zhan's carriage, he took the cup of hot tea handed to him by Su Zhan.
Gu Yan held up a cup of hot tea and said, "Cousin, I felt guilty towards Nuonuo and Xiangye for what happened yesterday. I hope you can help persuade Xiangye to stop being angry, instead of fanning the flames and helping her leave Chang'an... They say it's better to demolish ten temples than to ruin a marriage."
Su Zhan looked at Gu Yan standing in front of him and said, "Prince, do you feel guilty towards Xiang Ye for what happened yesterday?
Yesterday, Princess Nan'an was completely disrespectful to Xiangye and didn't regard Xiangye as her cousin-in-law at all. If you cared about Xiangye at all, would the princess of the King of Chu's family dare to scold your Crown Prince's Consort like that?
Although the Chu Palace's surname is Zhao and yours is Gu, whether in terms of close relationship with Your Majesty or power in the court, the Ning Palace is much stronger than the Chu Palace.
If you really care about Xiangye, Princess Nan'an would definitely not dare to accuse Xiangye to her face."
Seeing Gu Yan frowning and remaining silent, Su Zhan continued, "Xiangye isn't stupid. If she hadn't suffered so much injustice from you, why would she be willing to give up her high and mighty position as the Prince of Ning's consort and return to Jiangnan to be the owner of an embroidery workshop in a small town?"
