Chapter 125 Why must we divorce?
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan, her eyes full of disappointment: "Gu Yan, I didn't expect that you don't even remember my age."
Gu Yan was quite helpless, "Does it matter whether she is a younger sister or an older sister now?"
Xie Zhixuan couldn't help but smile and said, "I'll leave first."
Yun Xiangye hurriedly stood up, bowed to Xie Zhixuan and said, "Go slowly, mother."
After Yun Xiangye sent Xie Zhixuan away, she looked at Gu Yan and shook her head gently, saying, "We've been married for three years, and you don't even know how old I am this year."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "How could I not know?"
Yun Xiangye asked: "Then why did you say I would be your sister?"
Gu Yan said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice: "It's not like you haven't called me brother before, Sister Yun..."
When Yun Xiangye heard Gu Yan's words, she recalled the time when she called him brother and said in shame and anger, "You!"
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath and said, "It seems that there is no need for us to even talk about it. Why don't I just tell mother that we want to divorce, and you acknowledge me as your sworn sister..."
Gu Yan snorted, "Now that you don't need the fake death medicine or the elixir of life, you want to divorce again? You are really a businessman who forgets his principles when he sees profit."
Yun Xiangye said: "Yes, I am greedy for profit! There is nothing to say between you and me. I will go find my mother now..."
Gu Yan grabbed Yun Xiangye's wrist, holding her tightly in his arms and said, "It's just what I said in anger, do you take it seriously?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan angrily, "If you are angry, isn't that what you think in your heart?"
Gu Yan asked, "You are fine, why are you asking for a divorce again?"
"We haven't had a good relationship since we came to Chang'an. I was touched by your willingness to give me the Red Book and Iron Certificate to help my sister. Now I know that you gave me the Red Book and Iron Certificate not for me, but for the wealth of your Gu family. You want to use the child in my sister's belly to consolidate your Gu family's power when your Gu family is feared in the future."
After listening to Yun Xiangye's words, Gu Yan realized that she had overheard the conversation in the study yesterday.
Gu Yan said, "You didn't even hear everything when you eavesdropped. I did this because of your pleading. If I really wanted to consolidate the power of the Gu family, there are other ways. You really don't know how to appreciate a good person."
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but raise his voice: "You said I don't know how to appreciate kindness? Do you dare to say you don't have the intention to take advantage of me?"
"Daddy, Mommy, stop arguing."
Xiao Nuonuo was looking at them with her round little peach blossom eyes.
Yun Xiangye calmed down, picked up Nuonuo and said, "Daddy and Mommy, don't quarrel."
Nuonuo threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms, "Mother."
Gu Yan reached out and touched the soft little face in Yun Xiangye's arms, "Daddy and Mommy, please stop arguing and take you to play with kites, okay?"
Nuonuo clapped her hands and said, "Play with kites."
The spring breeze blows and the breeze blows on your face. The afternoon is a good time to play with kites.
Xiao Nuonuo had a lot of fun playing, and soon he was so tired that he fell asleep.
After Yun Xiangye handed Nuonuo over to Nanny Cao, she went to the study with Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye has nothing to worry about now. The method her mother suggested is fine. She and Gu Yan don't necessarily have to be enemies. They don't have any deep hatred. They are just not suitable to be husband and wife.
She can also let go of things, and it is not impossible for them to be siblings after the divorce.
At least, this way, Nuonuo doesn't have to worry about choosing between her parents.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan coming in and said, "Mother asked you and I to have a frank talk, so I will have a good talk with you calmly."
After Yun Xiangye sat down, she motioned Gu Yan to sit opposite her.
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye in his arms, "You met Zhao Jing today...so you have to divorce me?"
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but frowned upon hearing this and said, "What does this have to do with Zhao Jing? If I wanted to marry him, I would have married him four years ago regardless of everything. I want to divorce you, it only has to do with you, and has nothing to do with others."
Gu Yan frowned and asked, "How come it's such a coincidence that I met Zhao Jing today and asked for a divorce from my mother as soon as I came back?"
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but get angry again, "In your eyes, I am the kind of person who changes my mind easily. I can swear that after I divorce you, I will never get married again..."
Gu Yan said: "Your oath doesn't count. After all, didn't you swear in front of Zhao Jing that you would never marry in this life?"
Yun Xiangye said angrily, "Isn't this the retribution for violating my oath?"
Yun Xiangye stood up from Gu Yan's lap. She looked at him angrily and said, "I need to divorce you."
Gu Yan said: "You don't have to mention this matter again. I will never agree to divorce you."
Yun Xiangye said: "My mother will make the decision for me."
Gu Yan couldn't help but frown. If it weren't for the fact that he and Yun Xiangye were two years apart in age, he would have suspected that Yun Xiangye was his mother's biological child.
Gu Yan frowned and said, "Since you don't have another man in your heart, why do you have to divorce? Is it what you want to separate Nuonuo's parents?
I think I am a good husband. Look around Chang'an... No, look around the entire Dasheng Dynasty. Is there any husband who allows his wife to beat and scold him and make him kneel down and count on his back? I am extremely humble in front of you. What else are you dissatisfied with?
You were not like this when you were in Jiangnan. You were very gentle in Jiangnan. How come you have changed after coming to Chang'an?"
Yun Xiangye said: "To be fair, you are right about this point, but I don't want to leave my hometown for a husband who doesn't love me and doesn't care about me."
Gu Yan said: "I don't care about you? Do you really think that the red seal and iron certificate are easy to get? Don't I love you enough? If I didn't love you, how could I let you slap me?"
Yun Xiangye said: "I don't feel your so-called love for me at all. Gu Yan, I want to divorce you for only one reason. You don't love me, and I don't want to leave my hometown and be bullied and ridiculed for a husband who doesn't love me."
Gu Yan really couldn’t understand. Yun Xiangye had been quarreling with him for so long, but she just felt that he didn’t love her?
Gu Yan laughed angrily and said, "I don't love you? Do you want to hear what nonsense you are talking about? How could I not love you?"
Yun Xiangye said: "If you loved me, how could you let me fall into trouble as soon as I arrived in Chang'an City? How could you let the maids around you look down on me? How could you let my relatives and friends look down on me? You put me in a situation where everyone can bully me, just because you don't care about me and look down on me."
Gu Yan said: "I am not in charge of the maids in the mansion. My mother is busy in the pharmacy, so my grandmother is the housekeeper who takes care of the maids. Wei Xi is by my grandmother's side, so it is inevitable that she can bribe some maids. Do you think Qing Ming, the most important person by my side, has ever looked down on you?
Except for the Crown Prince, have my good brothers like Zhao Rui, Shi An, Lin Yu ever looked down on you?
When you and Nuonuo came back, even His Majesty and His Majesty came out of the palace to welcome you, and you still want to accuse me of looking down on you? I'm afraid it's going to snow in June.
You can't take it out on me just because some insignificant people look down on you."
Yun Xiangye said, "Oh, Gu Yan, don't try to quibble. Were you protecting Wei Xi from the beginning? You didn't want me to damage her reputation. If you loved me, would you protect other women?"
Gu Yan paused and said, "I have explained to you so many times that it was because Wei Xi was the daughter of the Duke of Wei. I did not do this to protect her, but because I was afraid that you would offend someone you shouldn't. After I saw her true face, didn't I also cut off contact with her?"
Yun Xiangye said: "So-called love is partiality, I really can't feel your love.
You didn't believe me from the beginning and thought I was damaging Wei Xi's reputation, just because you didn't love me.
Just like I will always believe in my Nuonuo, but you blame Nuonuo for no reason because of Princess Nan'an.
In your eyes, we, mother and daughter, are not favored at all. You have never loved us with all your heart!
So you never told me your identity, and you didn't care about my situation in Chang'an City. It's not because you are inconsiderate as a man, but because you don't love me.
You will think that as long as you give me the title of Crown Prince's Consort, you love me, and you don't care how much trouble this position of Crown Prince's Consort will bring me.
That was not love at all. You just married me out of helplessness and pretended to love me.
What you call love is the same no matter which woman you marry. It is not love for me.
It's just that since you were a child, you have seen that your parents, relatives and elders are only couples, and they are deeply in love with each other, so you learn to love your wife like your elders. This wife can be anyone, and you have never truly loved me.
You don't know the real me. You think I am gentle in Jiangnan because you don't know me at all. I lost my parents when I was fifteen, and then I fought with my uncles to take over the embroidery workshop. Why do you think I am only gentle?
Gu Yan, I am not in your heart at all, you don’t understand what true love is!
Our marriage was a helpless act due to some unforeseen circumstances. Since we don't love each other, we might as well divorce and part ways. If we can't be husband and wife, we can still be siblings. I sincerely hope that you can find a woman you truly love."
