Chapter 175 I promised you that I would never let you suffer any injustice
Yun Xiangye scolded repeatedly, "Ye Zhimiao, don't talk nonsense. I offended Wei Xi some time ago, and she told me to wait. I didn't expect that she would come to attack you."
Xu Mengqi said from the side: "Wei Xi? Why is she targeting you like this?"
Yun Xiangye said, "She hated me the first time I met her, and I didn't give her face in the past few days. Uncle, aunt, I have to go to Wei Xi to ask for justice for this matter."
Aunt Ye said repeatedly: "No need, Xiangye, don't go..."
Yun Xiangye said, "Aunt, how can I not go? Wei Yu has smashed your cloth shop into this state."
Aunt Ye said, "Don't go. Wan He is now the daughter of the Wei family. We can't hold her back... After all, she has to rely on the Wei family now."
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath and said, "Wei Xi has gone too far. If my sister knew about this, she would be extremely angry."
Ye Yuan sighed and said, "You don't need to let your sister know about this... Two thousand taels of silver is indeed a large sum of money, but with our family background, we can still afford it, we can still afford it..."
Ye Zhimiao was very angry and said, "Dad, Mom, what time is it now? You still want to protect Ye Wanhe? If Ye Wanhe had you in her heart, how could she let the people of the Wei family bully my cousin first and then bully you?"
Ye Zhimiao looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Thank goodness you have spoken up for Ye Wanhe time and time again. I will definitely expose Ye Wanhe's identity and ask her how she can be the Crown Princess if she is so unfilial."
Yun Xiangye frowned and stopped Ye Zhimiao, saying, "Miaomiao, what does this have to do with Sister Wanhe? Stop making trouble."
Xu Mengqi also said, "Cousin Yun, just let her make a scene. Let her try to say something outside and see if she can survive until tomorrow."
Ye Zhimiao paused as he was about to go out.
There were footsteps outside, and Gu Yan hurried in and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm late, what happened here?"
Yun Xiangye saw Gu Yan coming and glared at him and said, "Wei Xi came to my embroidery workshop to cause trouble a few days ago. I didn't follow her wishes, so she asked me to wait. I didn't expect that she would come to attack my uncle and aunt's cloth shop."
Gu Yan said: "I will definitely seek justice for this matter. I will also arrange two guards from the princess's mansion to prevent anyone from causing trouble again."
Yun Xiangye whispered: "Thank you very much..."
Yun Xiangye understood very well the reason why Wei Xi didn't come to her embroidery workshop to cause trouble. She was afraid that the troublemaker had already been stopped by Gu Yan's guards.
Gu Yan said: "Why are you being polite to me?"
Su Zhan also said, "Uncle Ye, Aunt Ye, you are not far from the dental clinic. If you encounter people causing trouble again in the future, just come find me. We are from the same hometown and are related. There is no reason for us to sit back and do nothing. I will buy all these cloths soaked in dirty water with the capital you brought in. It would be great to wash them and give them to the orphans and widows in the orphanage to make clothes."
Ye Yuan said: "How can this be possible..."
Su Zhan said, "Uncle and aunt, we are relatives by marriage after all. Even if I am considering my third aunt's face, I have to help you."
Gu Yan said softly to Su Zhan: "It's better for you to stay out of this matter, otherwise some people may be unhappy."
Su Zhan couldn't help but smile and said, "If that person felt that it was inappropriate for me to get involved, why did he watch the Ye family being bullied in Chang'an City?"
Yun Xiangye glared at Gu Yan unhappily, "That's right."
Gu Yan said: "I'll take all these dirty cloths. Here are three thousand taels of silver notes."
Gu Yan handed the banknote to Ye Yuan, who quickly declined: "Gu Yan, this... I can't take your money."
Gu Yan said: "Uncle, we are a family, just keep it."
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Yes, uncle, just keep it. Wei Xi's trouble was ultimately caused by Gu Yan."
After Gu Yan gave the banknote to Uncle Ye, he took Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the Wei family to seek justice."
Aunt Ye said, "Gu Yan, don't go. If you go, what will happen if Wan He can't rely on the Wei family in the future? After all, Wan He is the daughter of the Wei family now."
Gu Yan laughed and said, "Aunt, now my sister is the one the Wei family relies on, not the Wei family. The Wei family must give you justice in this matter."
Aunt Ye was a little worried, but Xu Mengqi advised her, "Aunt Ye, what Prince Gu said is right. His Highness made the Crown Princess the daughter of the Wei family because he values the Wei family, not because he relies on the Wei family as the Crown Princess. If he really wanted the Wei family to be the Crown Princess's support, Wei Qian would not have married Princess Xiwan."
Therefore, Aunt Ye no longer stopped Gu Yan.
Yun Xiangye looked at Xu Mengqi with gratitude, and then went to the Wei family with Gu Yan.
It was already dark outside. When I arrived at the Wei family with a lantern, the Duke of Wei had already gone to bed.
Duke Wei entered the hall and saw Gu Yan and Yun Xiangye coming. He smiled and said, "Yan'er, how come you have time to come to the Wei family?"
"Uncle Wei," Gu Yan said, "You and my father are cousins, and we have been close friends since childhood. I have always respected you, but today I ask that you forgive my nephew for being rude."
Duke Weiguo smiled and said, "Since you said your father and I are brothers, just say whatever you want to say."
Gu Yan said, "Today, the brother-in-law of your Wei Mansion's housekeeper smashed up Uncle Yunxiangye's and Aunt Yunye's shop and threw thousands of taels of silver worth of cloth into the rain. The housekeeper of the Duke of Wei's mansion actually bullied the people like this. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will affect your reputation, my cousin."
Duke Weiguo frowned and said, "I didn't even know about this, Wang Tao!"
Soon, Wang Tao came over humbly, saluted and said to the Duke of Wei, "Duke, what can I do for you?"
Duke Weiguo said angrily, "I heard that your brother-in-law caused trouble for a cloth shop on West Street today?"
Wang Tao heard this and said repeatedly: "That shop sold inferior goods as good ones. The cloth they sold caused my sister-in-law to have rashes all over her body. That's why my brother-in-law brought people to smash it up."
Yun Xiangye said, "What evidence do you have to say that it was my uncle's fabric that caused you to have the rash? All the fabrics in my embroidery workshop are from my uncle's house. I touch them day and night, but I haven't had the rash."
Wang Tao said: "This... This rash appeared because of wearing this fabric."
Duke Weiguo said angrily, "This is not the reason why your brother-in-law smashed the cloth shop. You should prepare some money and go to the cloth shop to apologize."
Gu Yan slowly said, "Uncle, you also said that this is not the reason. Some time ago, Wei Xi brought people to Xiangye's embroidery workshop to cause trouble. She told Xiangye to wait. Now the cloth shop of Xiangye's uncle's family was smashed by the brother-in-law of your Wei family's housekeeper. Isn't this too coincidental?"
Duke Weiguo frowned and said, "You mean it was Mi'er who ordered it? That's impossible. Mi'er wouldn't do that..."
Yun Xiangye said, "Duke Weiguo, you are Wei Xi's biological father, so you naturally think your daughter would not do such a thing. However, many people saw Wei Xi causing trouble in my embroidery workshop a few days ago. How could today's incident have nothing to do with Wei Xi?"
Steward Wang Tao said hurriedly, "This matter has nothing to do with my young lady. She is the consort of the Prince of Chu and the niece of the Queen. How could she come to deal with you? It was because the fabrics sold in your cloth shop gave people rashes that they went to smash and destroy them. Don't speak nonsense and slander the daughter-in-law of the royal family."
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but frown. Wei Xi was very well prepared and her reasons were sufficient.
Duke Wei looked at Gu Yan and said, "Yan'er, you can't just say that Yan'er sent people to smash and destroy things. Yan'er is now the Crown Prince's Consort of the Prince of Chu's Palace. How could she embarrass a small cloth shop? Our Duke's Palace will double compensate for the losses of the cloth shop. Let's just leave it at that."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye's frowning and helpless eyes. He said in a cold voice, "This matter cannot be settled. I came here today just to talk to you, uncle. I will make Wei Yu pay for the injustice suffered by the Ye family and Xiangye today. I will not care about our friendship with you, uncle."
After saying this, Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye's hand and walked out of the Wei Mansion gate.
On the pitch-black street, looking up you can see the Milky Way filled with stars. The summer starry sky is extremely beautiful.
Yun Xiangye said to Gu Yan, "We don't have any evidence to prove that Wei Xi was behind this... I'm afraid we can't ask Wei Xi for justice."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Believe me, I promised you that I would never let you suffer any injustice again. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
Yun Xiangye said: "But, didn't you say that Duke Weiguo is the Queen's brother after all? Would you offend the Crown Prince and the Queen by doing this? Besides, Wei Xi is now the Crown Prince's Consort of the King of Chu, so you might still offend the King of Chu's Palace..."
Gu Yan said: "Even if it will offend the Queen and the Crown Prince, I will not let you hold back your anger. I will let you vent your anger first."
