Chapter 179 Will You Come Back to the Princess's Mansion with Me?
Yun Xiangye snorted and said, "Hit you? My hands hurt."
It is really ridiculous that Gu Yan only realized where he was wrong today and came to sincerely admit his mistake. She had suffered so much injustice before, how could it be compensated by beating him up?
Gu Yan gently wiped away the tears from Yun Xiangye's eyes, "Stop crying."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "My hands hurt when I hit you, but if you hit yourself, my hands won't hurt."
Gu Yan: "If I beat myself, will you come back to the Princess's Mansion with me? It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yun Xiangye said, "Why should I go back to the Princess's Mansion with you? Life without marriage is very comfortable, and I don't have to face the faces of those who say I am not worthy of you."
Gu Yan said: "I will make Zhao Rui come and kneel in front of you tomorrow."
Yun Xiangye said, "Is it Zhao Rui's fault? It's obviously your fault. You don't care about me enough, so you let the people around you bully me again and again. When we were in Jiangnan, did the people around me say that you were not worthy of me?"
Gu Yan said: "No? The Xu family's tofu sellers at the street corner looked down on me because I was from outside and couldn't speak your Yongxing dialect. They thought it was a pity for a good girl like you to marry someone from outside.
And your relatives from the Yun family, your cousins, have told you more than once that you married a merchant from outside the city, and they always look down on me because I am not from Yongxing City."
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath, "How dare you say that? You know that my cousins look down on your outsider identity, but you never said that you are the Prince of Ning. You watched me being laughed at by my cousins and aunts for marrying a man from another place?"
Gu Yan: “…”
Seeing the tears in Yun Xiangye's eyes, Gu Yan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."
Yun Xiangye said, "I didn't despise you for being a man from another place. I married you because you saved my life. I suffered all kinds of jokes from my aunt and cousins, but I still protected you everywhere in Yongxing City. You didn't understand the Yongxing dialect, but I didn't ask you to learn it. I spoke Mandarin to you. What about you?"
"I'm sorry." Gu Yan admitted his mistake in a low voice, "It's all my fault."
Yun Xiangye wiped her tears and said, "So I won't go back to the princess's mansion with you."
Gu Yan was not in a hurry to let Yun Xiangye accompany him back to the Princess's Mansion. He just held her hand and said, "Okay, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back."
The carriage arrived at Ye’s house on West Street.
Yun Xiangye told Ye Yuan, Ye's aunt, that Wei Xi would come to apologize.
Aunt Ye was slightly surprised and asked, "Will Wei Xi actually agree to come and apologize?"
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Well, Wei Xi can't help but agree. She was unreasonable in the first place. When she comes to kowtow and apologize to you two, you can just accept it quietly.
As soon as Yun Xiangye finished speaking, the doorman outside hurried in and said, "Master, Madam, there is a girl outside who claims to be the Prince of Chu's consort and wants to come in."
Yun Xiangye said: "She came quickly, let her in."
When Wei Xi arrived, she was full of resentment. Seeing Yun Xiangye here, she had to say, "Shopkeeper Ye, Madam Shopkeeper Ye, I shouldn't have hired someone to smash your shop. This is my apology. I hope you can forgive me."
Wei Xi motioned for the maid to come forward and hand over a stack of silver bills.
Ye Yuan and Aunt Ye looked at each other.
Yun Xiangye looked at Wei Xi and smiled faintly, "Wei Xi, why don't you kneel down and apologize?"
Wei Xi stared at Yun Xiangye fiercely and refused to kneel for a long time.
Until a shrill voice of a eunuch came from behind her: "Prince Consort of Chu, please kneel down and kowtow to admit your fault. Then we can go back and report to the Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye then discovered that among the group of people brought by Wei Xi, there were two eunuchs. No wonder Wei Xi came to apologize so quickly.
Wei Xi knelt down in front of Ye Yuan and Aunt Ye, and said in a weak voice: "I was wrong..."
Yun Xiangye said: "What? I didn't hear clearly."
Wei Xi glared at Yun Xiangye and said in a slightly louder voice: "I was wrong..."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly, "Then kowtow to my uncle and aunt."
Wei Xi looked at Ye Yuan and his wife in front of her with vicious eyes. They hoped they would be lucky enough to withstand the kneeling and kowtowing of her, a royal daughter-in-law.
Wei Yu kowtowed heavily on the ground.
Aunt Ye said in a gentle voice: "Get up."
After Wei Xi stood up, he looked at the two eunuchs behind him and asked, "How is it?"
One of the eunuchs chuckled and said, "Then I will go back to the East Palace to report to the two princes. The Crown Princess of Chu should also go back to the Prince of Chu's Palace as soon as possible."
Wei Xi looked around and said, "This place is so poor and shabby, I won't stay here for long."
After saying this, Wei Xi went out and left.
Aunt Ye looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, will we offend the Chu Palace and the Wei family too much?"
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Aunt, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to sever ties with you, after all, broken bones are still connected. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea that Cousin Ye Li enter the Wanliu Academy."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, uncle and aunt, don't worry. The Wei family and the Chu Palace don't have the guts to deal with you again."
Aunt Ye heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much."
Gu Yan smiled faintly and said, "There's no need to say a word of thanks as a family."
Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Who is your family?"
Ye Yuan glanced at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, how can you talk to Gu Yan like this?"
Yun Xiangye said: "Why can't we talk like this? We are not from the same family."
Aunt Ye persuaded Yun Xiangye, "After all, he is Nuonuo's father."
Gu Yan also said to Yun Xiangye: "Xiangye, I just told you that I really know I was wrong. I will correct it in the future. I hope you will not bear grudges and forgive me..."
Yun Xiangye said: "I will forgive you when you have corrected your behavior."
Aunt Ye said, "Xiang Ye, I think Gu Yan is sincere. Why don't you give him another chance? Be a good husband and wife with him."
Yun Xiangye shook her head and said, "Aunt, I really don't want to get married. These days I know the benefits of not getting married. I have fields, houses, businesses, and Nuonuo by my side. I really can't find any benefits to getting married again."
Aunt Ye said, "At least when you marry someone, you'll have someone who understands you."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "He is not a person who knows how to tell the difference between cold and heat."
Gu Yan was not convinced when he heard Yun Xiangye's words. "Who has been fanning you during lunch break every day? My wrist hurts so much. Isn't this enough to show that you know the difference between cold and heat?"
Yun Xiangye touched her nose and said, "Then I won't marry again. I just don't have enough maids around me now. When my embroidery workshop is well established, I can find ten or eight maids. Naturally, I won't need you to fan my business."
Seeing the helpless looks on his uncle and aunt's faces, Yun Xiangye bowed and said, "Uncle, aunt, I'll take my leave first."
After Yun Xiangye finished speaking, he left the Ye family.
Aunt Ye said to Gu Yan in the room, "Xiangye is really stubborn sometimes, but you really hurt her too deeply before. What the child said is true. She can live well even if she doesn't get married now. If you really care about her, please be more tolerant of her."
"Yes, aunt." Gu Yan responded, "I have sincerely regretted today. I neglected her too much before. I will correct it. I will take my leave now."
After Gu Yan left, he quickly caught up with Yun Xiangye. He reached out and held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Since I have sincerely admitted my mistake, even if you don't return to the princess's mansion, you should let me live in your embroidery workshop. I can make it up to you."
"Don't think that I will forgive you and let you live in the embroidery workshop just because you admit your mistake lightly." Yun Xiangye said.
Gu Yan whispered in Yun Xiangye's ear.
Yun Xiangye pursed her lips lightly and said with a faint smile: "Okay then."
