Chapter 144: Sign the divorce agreement quickly
Seeing that Yun Xiangye looked as if she didn't know about this, the embroiderers asked, "Don't you know yet?"
Yun Xiangye frowned and asked, "What?"
One of the embroiderers said, "It's been spreading all over Chang'an these days that Prince Ning has solved the difficult question that Xiwan's state teacher asked Princess Diya to choose a husband for. People are saying that for the sake of friendship between the two countries, Prince Ning will definitely divorce you and marry Princess Diya as his consort. There have been many bets made these days on when Prince Ning will divorce you."
Yun Xiangye frowned and asked, "What's the odds?"
Another embroiderer whispered, "It's about the date that you will be divorced by the Prince of Ning. There are several bets, some say within ten days, some say within half a month after ten days, and some say within a month after half a month. Now the bet that you will be divorced within ten days has the highest odds, ten to one."
Yun Xiangye smiled helplessly and said, "The people in Chang'an City are so idle that they actually gamble on this matter."
The embroiderer whispered, "The common people are just using this as a pastime, don't be angry."
"Yes, if Prince Ning really wants to divorce you, it's only because he doesn't want to offend the Princess of Xiwan."
Yun Xiangye smiled softly, "I'm not angry. I was going to divorce Prince Ning anyway. You guys continue embroidering clothes. I'll go take a look on the street."
Yun Xiangye only took Run'er to the street. There were quite a few gambling houses in Chang'an City, with all kinds of betting odds.
You can bet on whether the baby in someone's belly is a boy or a girl.
Yun Xiangye saw the most lively Xiaoyao Pavilion, where there were many people even in the daytime.
Yun Xiangye felt somewhat familiar with the words "Xiaoyao Pavilion", as if he had heard Gu Yan say that he had also joined the gang.
Yun Xiangye entered Xiaoyao Pavilion and heard a middle-aged man waving a folding fan inside say, "Bet on when Prince Ning will divorce his wife. The odds of divorcing his wife within ten days are now ten to one. Those who want to place a bet should hurry up."
Yun Xiangye heard some whispers around her.
"I don't think he will divorce her within ten days. Half a month is more appropriate. At least he cannot divorce her before the Crown Prince's wedding."
“I think Prince Ning will divorce his wife within ten days. Prince Ning’s wife is said to be ugly and infertile, and she can’t give birth to a son. Not to mention that Prince Ning married her just for the purpose of getting married.
Perhaps Prince Ning had wanted to divorce Yun for a long time, but was troubled by the fact that if he divorced his wife before, people would say he was abandoning his wife for the sake of a happy occasion. Now he has a legitimate reason to divorce her."
"That's right. With Yun's background, it's only a matter of time before she's divorced."
"Everyone in Chang'an City is betting that Yun Shi will be divorced, but most of them are betting that she will be divorced half a month later, after the Crown Prince's wedding."
"I think I can give it a try and divorce my wife within ten days. I can try my luck at getting rich. Divorcing my wife within ten days has the highest chance of success."
Yun Xiangye looked at the plaque of Xiaoyao Pavilion and sneered, then she whispered an order to Run'er.
Run'er nodded and said, "Miss, wait for me here."
Yun Xiangye said, "This place is not far from Mr. Tao's Villa. I'm going to go see my sister first. You can come to Mr. Tao's Villa to find me later."
Runer said, "Yes."
Yun Xiangye left Xiaoyao Pavilion and went to Tao Gong's Villa.
Yun Xiangye waited for a while outside Mr. Tao's villa, and then a eunuch came and took Yun Xiangye into Ye Wanhe's room.
There were several extremely gorgeous dresses displayed in Ye Wanhe's room.
Although Yun Xiangye ran an embroidery workshop, it was the first time for her to see such luxurious and exquisite clothes.
"Sister, the clothes here are so beautiful. This red wedding dress is so exquisite in every detail. You will surely stun everyone when you wear it."
Yun Xiangye could already imagine how beautiful this wedding dress would look on Ye Wanhe. It was worthy of being the wedding dress worn by the Crown Princess when she got married.
Yun Xiangye didn't dare touch the clothes even with her best-maintained hands, for fear that her hands would get caught on the extremely exquisite clothes.
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "No matter how beautiful the clothes are, they are not as beautiful as the wedding dress that my family has already prepared for me."
Ye Wanhe was almost thirteen years old when she entered the palace. Her family was in the cloth business. Although she was not yet married at that time, she had obtained a piece of good cloth, and her parents had arranged for someone to make a wedding dress for her.
Yun Xiangye listened to Ye Wanhe speaking Yongxing dialect and turned to look at Ye Wanhe. There was no sign of joy on her face about her upcoming wedding and becoming the Crown Princess.
"Sister." Yun Xiangye said, "I may not be able to attend your wedding banquet."
Ye Wanhe asked: "Why?"
Yun Xiangye said: "The gambling house opened by Gu Yan and his brothers actually opened a handicap today, betting on when I will be fired."
Ye Wanhe frowned and said, "How could Gu Yan treat you like this? He is simply going too far!"
Yun Xiangye hurriedly said, "Sister, you are pregnant, so please don't get angry. Anger is harmful to your health. Although Gu Yan bullied me, I will not let him off easily. The princess gave me 30,000 taels of silver during the New Year. I plan to bet all of it that I will be divorced within ten days. At least I can make a lot of money."
Ye Wanhe glanced at Yun Xiangye worriedly, "Xiangye..."
Yun Xiangye smiled softly and said, "I had already decided to divorce. I shouldn't have taken the silver that the princess gave me. I didn't expect that I could use it to bet and win money, and earn a large sum of money from Xiaoyao Pavilion."
Ye Wanhe whispered, "It's not you who should be divorced. You haven't done anything wrong. Why should Gu Yan divorce you?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Whether I am divorced or divorced, it's the same thing. But if I am divorced within ten days, I will not be able to attend your wedding banquet."
As a result, Sister He didn't have any relatives by her side on her wedding day.
Ye Wanhe whispered, "That's not a big deal...it's better if you don't come."
Seeing Ye Wanhe's expression, Yun Xiangye asked, "Sister, are you still thinking about leaving?"
Ye Wanhe shook her head, "No, I can't let the baby in my belly suffer with me."
Seeing this, Yun Xiangye said, "Sister, after Gu Yan and I separated, I probably won't be able to come to the palace to see you like before. You must take good care of yourself."
Ye Wanhe chuckled and said, "Well, I will take good care of myself, and you should also be well."
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will be fine."
After saying goodbye to Ye Wanhe, Yun Xiangye left Tao Gong's Villa and happened to meet Run'er coming with a silver note.
Yun Xiangye then took a stack of silver bills and went to Xiaoyao Pavilion Casino.
The gambling house is now more lively than before.
Yun Xiangye placed a whole stack of banknotes on the gambling table. "I bet that Gu Yan will divorce his wife within ten days. This is thirty thousand taels."
When the man waving the folding fan heard the price of thirty thousand taels, the fan in his hand paused, and everyone around him looked at Yun Xiangye.
"Thirty thousand taels? Is there really thirty thousand taels?"
"No way? Thirty thousand taels?"
Yun Xiangye ignored everyone's surprised looks and just looked at the man waving the folding fan and said, "Open the bill."
The man with the folding fan at the side opened a list and handed it to Yun Xiangye, "Madam, your list."
Yun Xiangye took the gambling bill and returned to Qingfeng Garden and went to Gu Yan's study.
Yun Xiangye wrote a divorce letter in Gu Yan's tone in Gu Yan's study.
Just as I put down my pen, I saw Gu Yan coming back from outside.
Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye in the study and smiled faintly, "Why did you come to my study? Did you miss me?"
Yun Xiangye walked up to Gu Yan and placed the divorce letter on the desk beside him. She handed the ink-stained pen to Gu Yan and said, "Hurry up and sign the divorce letter. Don't delay me from winning money!"
