Chapter 145 I am no longer the Crown Prince's Consort
When Gu Yan saw the paper Yun Xiangye placed on the table, he frowned when he saw the two words "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 has been 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, 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 win money?"
Yun Xiangye snorted coldly and asked, "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 opened has set a handicap these two days, betting on when you will divorce me. If you divorce me within ten days, the odds are extremely high. I have already bet all 30,000 taels of silver. You must sign quickly, otherwise I will miss the chance to win big money."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "I don't know anything about this."
Yun Xiangye said coldly, "You have invested in Xiaoyao Pavilion, but you didn't know about this? Even if you didn't know, what do your brothers think of me? Is I something you can use to gamble? Now the people in the city are sure that you will divorce me, and they are looking forward to the day when you will divorce me. How dare you say that you don't know anything about this? You are the Imperial Censor, how could you not know about the slightest disturbance in Chang'an City?"
Seeing Yun Xiangye getting angry, 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, "Xiang Ye, I will teach Zhao Rui a lesson for this matter and make him kneel down in front of you to apologize!"
"Forget it!" Yun Xiangye said, "Just sign the divorce letter and let me win the money."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "I will ask him to return the money you bet. I will never sign this divorce letter."
Yun Xiangye said, "If you don't sign, it's 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: "You and I don't even have the three letters and six ceremonies, we are not even a legitimate relationship, it is not too much for me to divorce you."
Yun Xiangye was about to sign the divorce letter. Gu Yan stepped forward and held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly. He 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 trouble today?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Gu Yan, I'm telling you, from today on, the relationship between you and me as husband and wife is severed. I will move out of the Princess's Mansion, 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 and packed her luggage.
After four months in Qingfeng Garden, I have a lot more luggage.
Gu Yan followed in and signaled the maids who were packing up to leave.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand and grasped Yun Xiangye's shoulders, hugged Yun Xiangye tightly in his arms and said: "I really didn't know about the gambling game in Xiaoyao Pavilion. Zhao Rui acted on his own initiative. I will definitely teach him a lesson. Don't leave. Nuonuo is still so young."
Tears were falling from Yun Xiangye's eyes. To this day, what 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 dare Zhao Rui treat my cousin like this?
It's fine if someone else starts a gambling game, I have no control over it, but now it's you and your brothers who jointly opened the Xiaoyao Pavilion and also started this gambling game, do you really care about me at all?"
"It was a mistake for us to get married from the beginning. I wanted to repay a favor and you wanted to have a happy marriage. You have already recovered and I have already repaid the favor. It is time for us to part ways."
Yun Xiangye slowly pushed Gu Yan away and said, "The three years we were together was wrong from the beginning. Even if you don't want to write the divorce letter today, I will write it and leave."
Yun Xiangye held back 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 was reluctantly sorting out the clothes at home, and was very reluctant to leave Yongxing City with him...
Now Yun Xiangye packed her bags without any reluctance.
Yun Xiangye called Run'er outside and said, "Go outside and call a carriage."
Run'er glared at Gu Yan 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 have to protect her well. Don't let Nuonuo suffer injustice like you did last time. Don't blame Nuonuo without any reason, 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 away, but you are not allowed to take Nuonuo back to Jiangnan. If you want to go back to Jiangnan one day, you must inform me first."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "I won't be taking Nuonuo back to Jiangnan for the time being."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye deeply, then turned around and left the Princess's Mansion and went to the Prince of Xiang's Mansion.
In the Prince of Xiang's Palace.
Princess Xie Zhirong of Xiang was selecting portraits of the daughters of rich families in Chang'an City. Zhao Rui, who was standing by, could find out the flaws of these daughters.
Xie Zhirong couldn't help but get angry, "What kind of wife do you want to marry? You dislike this one, and you dislike that one..."
"Prince Ning... wait a minute..."
The guards did not dare to stop Gu Yan from breaking into the house.
As soon as Gu Yan entered the yard, he punched Zhao Rui in the face.
Zhao Rui didn't understand why he got punched like that. He quickly covered his face and said, "Gu Yan, how could you hit me in the face? Aren't you afraid of ruining my handsome appearance?"
Xie Zhirong looked at Gu Yan who looked angry and said, "Yan'er, what's wrong?"
Gu Yan glared at Zhao Rui and asked, "Why are you opening a bet in Xiaoyao Pavilion on when I will divorce Yun Xiangye?"
Zhao Rui said: "This is just a joke. Everyone in Chang'an is betting on this."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhirong angrily said, "Zhao Rui, what evil have you done? You dare to open a gambling house? And you open this kind of gambling, where do you put your cousin's wife?"
Xie Zhirong stood up and pinched Zhao Rui's ear, "Hurry up and close your gambling house and go apologize to your cousin's wife, go quickly!"
Zhao Rui's ears were twisted as he kept saying, "It hurts, it hurts, Mom. I'll go and apologize right now."
Xie Zhirong looked at Gu Yan who was angry and said, "Yan'er, this is Zhao Rui's fault. I will ask him to go to your house to apologize to Xiang Ye."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and said, "There's no need to go to the Princess's Mansion. Xiangye has already left. Let's go find her at the embroidery workshop on Jinxiu Street."
Xie Zhirong heard this and asked, "Why did Xiangye leave the Princess's Mansion?"
Gu Yan whispered, "She was already trying to divorce me. She knew that Xiaoyao Pavilion was jointly opened by Zhao Rui and me, and that this kind of gambling was held in Xiaoyao Pavilion. Naturally, she was extremely angry and would rather divorce her husband than stay in the Princess's Mansion."
Xie Zhirong couldn't help but twist Zhao Rui's ear fiercely again, "You did a good job!"
--
Outside the Princess's Mansion, Yun Xiangye had all the luggage loaded onto a carriage, and then took Nuonuo from Nanny Cao.
"Nanny Cao, thank you for helping me take care of Nuonuo over the past few months."
"Please stop saying that, Princess. This is my job, and I don't deserve your thanks."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "I am no longer the Crown Prince's Consort, but I still want to thank you no matter what. You have taken good care of Nuonuo in the past few months."
Yun Xiangye handed the purse to Nanny Cao and said, "Nuonuo and I are leaving the Princess's residence soon. This is a small token of my appreciation."
Nanny Cao didn't dare to accept it, so Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Nuonuo, give the purse to Nanny."
Xiao Nuonuo handed the purse to Nanny Cao and said with a sweet smile, "Nanny."
Nanny Cao looked at little Nuonuo reluctantly and took the purse from her. Little Nuonuo didn't know what had happened today.
Yun Xiangye also said to the maids who followed Yinliu: "Thank you, sister Yinliu and the sisters for your care."
Yin Liu was sent by the palace to serve Yun Xiangye in the Princess's residence. Without her master's order, she did not dare to follow Yun Xiangye out of the Princess's residence. "Crown Princess..."
Yun Xiangye smiled softly and said, "I am no longer the Crown Prince's Consort."
Yin Liu whispered, "Do you want to go and say goodbye to Prince Ning and the Princess?"
Yun Xiangye said, "No need, there is no point in saying more. When I ask Nuonuo to come back to visit grandparents in the future, I hope you can help take care of Nuonuo."
"Yes." Yinliu and the others responded.
Yun Xiangye carried Nuonuo into the carriage. She opened the carriage curtain and saw the Princess's Mansion getting farther and farther away. She felt relieved.
Nuonuo in his arms looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Mother, where are you going?"
Yun Xiangye hugged Nuonuo and said, "Let's go home, back to the home where only mother and Nuonuo live."
"Where's daddy?" Xiao Nuonuo asked, looking up.
Yun Xiangye smiled gently and said, "If Nuonuo misses daddy in the future, mommy will let auntie Run'er take Nuonuo back to daddy's house to play for a while."
