Chapter 250: Abandoned by Husband
In the backyard of the Ye family.
Ye Wanhe looked at her unchanged boudoir. It looked like this when she left Yongxing City, and it still looks like this now.
There was not a trace of dust, which showed that her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law were looking forward to her return.
Ye Wanhe sat at the window, looking at the banana tree outside. It was still the same as when she left, except that the tree outside the window was bigger.
Zhao Yun stayed beside Ye Wanhe and looked around her boudoir. Compared with the East Palace's bedroom, it was naturally much smaller, but it was quiet and clean.
Zhao Yun walked to Ye Wanhe's desk, looked at the words she had written before, and smiled faintly, "So this is what your handwriting was like when you were thirteen or fourteen years old."
Ye Wanhe snatched the paper from Zhao Yun's hand, "This is the last homework I wrote since I came to Chang'an City... I didn't even dare to show it to Mr. Li. If I had known Mr. Li's identity earlier, I would have shown it to her. In this way, I would not have gone to the Chang'an Palace to be a slave..."
Zhao Yun frowned slightly and said, "You still don't want to come to the palace to meet me?"
Ye Wanhe raised her eyes and looked at Zhao Yun and said, "It's not that I don't want to meet you, but I don't want to go to the palace and live a life without freedom, living in fear, and relying on the hope of leaving the palace every day to survive."
Zhao Yun held Ye Wanhe in his arms. He had indeed hurt her deeply during her ten years in the palace. "I'm sorry, Wanhe. I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you."
Ye Wanhe was in Zhao Yun's arms, looking at his still white hair and his still thin body that had not yet recovered. In the end, Ye Wanhe reached out and hugged Zhao Yun back.
"Your Highness, can I sleep here tonight?"
Zhao Yun nodded and said, "Well, I will stay here with you tonight."
Ye Wanhe smiled faintly and said, "Okay."
The Ye family’s dinner was very sumptuous.
When entering the banquet, Shuang Bai saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince coming hand in hand with Ye Wanhe. He looked at Yun Xiangye with a little surprise and said, "Sister, he..."
Yun Xiangye and Shuang Bai stood up and saluted towards Zhao Yun, saying, "Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Yun greeted everyone and said, "Today is a family dinner. We don't follow the palace rules or distinguish between the monarch and his subjects. Please take a seat and eat."
Shuang Bai couldn't help but be surprised that the mute slave bought by Chen Qing turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could His Royal Highness the Crown Prince become a mute slave?
Yun Shuangbai looked at Yun Xiangye with doubts.
Yun Xiangye smiled and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I'll explain it to you someday."
Ye Wanhe looked at Shuangbai and said, "You are the second sister of Yun, Shuangbai, right? When I left, you were the same size as Nuonuo now. Now you have grown up to be so graceful. Do you still remember me?"
Shuang Bai smiled and looked at Ye Wanhe and said, "I vaguely remember that you often hugged me when I was a child."
It has been a long time since the Ye family has gathered together like this. Except for Gu Yan's absence, today is considered a big reunion for the Ye family.
After finishing the meal, Yun Xiangye began to miss Gu Yan.
The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time, so Yun Shuangbai followed Yun Xiangye back to their palace residence.
Yun Shuangbai stuck to Yun Xiangye to inquire about the affairs of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Ye Wanhe, and Yun Xiangye told Shuangbai everything he knew.
Shuang Bai became more and more angry as he listened, "Sister He suffered so much injustice and pain, but she easily forgave His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness deserves to do hard labor in the winery. If I had known, I should have taught him a lesson more severely."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently.
Yun Shuangbai looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince looked down on Sister He before, what about you? Have you also been bullied in Chang'an City?"
Yun Xiangye said: "No, it's time to go to bed. It's very late."
Yun Shuangbai knew in his heart that Yun Xiangye's life must have been difficult since she had just arrived in Chang'an and had been kept a secret by Gu Yan for three years. However, seeing that Yun Xiangye was sleepy, Yun Shuangbai stopped asking.
The next morning, when it was not very hot yet.
Yun Xiangye and Yun Shuangbai got up early and took Nuonuo to Ye's house, planning to visit their parents' grave with Ye Wanhe.
Yun Xiangye was pregnant, and according to the rules she was not allowed to go to the grave, but her parents were buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb.
Yun Xiangye thought that they were all his ancestors, so there was nothing wrong with them going there, so he went with them.
Zhao Yun was going to accompany Ye Wanhe, but the officials from Yuezhou City had already gathered in the palace to seek an audience, so Ye Wanhe did not let Zhao Yun go.
Yun Xiangye and Ye Wanhe arrived at their parents' grave and placed the dishes for the sacrifice.
Yun Xiangye looked at the tombstone in front of him and said, "Dad and Mom, I brought my sister back to see you."
"Mom and Dad, please bless Gu Yan to return home safely, and bless me to give birth safely."
Ye Wanhe knelt in front of the tombstone and offered nine incense sticks: "Aunt, Uncle, Wanhe is late."
Little Nuonuo followed their example, kneeling down and calling out to grandpa and grandma, kneeling and kowtowing adorably, "Please grandpa and grandma bless Nuonuo with lots of delicious food."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Grandpa and grandma will definitely bless Nuonuo."
After burning incense, when everyone was about to go down the mountain, they happened to meet the Yun family members who came to the ancestral grave to add soil and burn incense during the Ghost Festival.
"Hey, isn't this Xiangye? Didn't you say you were going to Chang'an? Why are you back again? What's this?"
Auntie Yun saw Ye Wanhe next to Yun Xiangye and said, "This is the daughter of the Ye family, your cousin who entered the palace as a slave, right?"
When the cousin of the Yun family saw Ye Wanhe, she said, "Wanhe, is it really you? You are not a servant and have returned from the palace?"
"Tsk tsk, how pitiful! She is already 26 years old and has just left the palace. It is difficult for her to find a husband at this age. Other families are almost arranging marriages for their children."
Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye's cousin in front of her and could no longer remember her. But seeing the mockery in her eyes, she just smiled softly and said, "I'm getting married soon."
The Yun family cousin asked, "Where are you from? You're not from Yongxing City, are you?"
Ye Wanhe shook her head and said, "No."
"Why did you find a man from another place? A man from another place won't do."
Yun Xiangye frowned when she saw the uncles, aunts and cousins from the Yun family.
The cousin of the Yun family looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Sister Xiangye, why did you come back from Chang'an alone? Did your husband from another place abandon you because he is unreliable?"
Aunt Yun smiled and said, "I told you before, you can't marry a man from another place."
"Well, it's okay to be abandoned by a husband from another place. My brother in my mother's family just lost his wife. As long as you are willing to give your embroidery workshop as a dowry, he won't despise you for having a daughter."
Yun Xiangye looked at the people from the Yun family in front of him and smiled coldly.
Yun Shuangbai said angrily: "Do you know who my brother-in-law is? What makes you say that my sister was abandoned by her husband?"
Aunt Yun said sarcastically, "If she wasn't abandoned, then why didn't her husband come with her to Yongxing City? When she returned to the embroidery workshop yesterday, her husband didn't follow her. This shows that she was abandoned by her husband."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhixuan's voice came from not far away.
"Xiangye, luckily you guys haven't left yet. We are late."
Yun Xiangye was slightly surprised to see Xie Zhixuan and Gu Ling coming together: "Mother, father-in-law, why are you two here?"
Xie Zhixuan smiled faintly and said, "Your father-in-law and I came to burn incense for your parents, which can be considered a meeting."
Yun Xiangye said, "My parents' graves are over there. I'll take you two there."
Xie Zhixuan looked at the people from the Yun family in front of Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, who are these people?"
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "He is a relative of the Yun family who has severed ties with me and I have no contact with him for a long time."
Xie Zhixuan nodded in understanding.
Everyone in the Yun family was originally making fun of Yun Xiangye, but when they saw the noble aura of Yun Xiangye's father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then took a closer look at the material of Yun Xiangye's clothes, they couldn't help but frown.
Yun Xiangye didn't pay any attention to the Yun family. After all, they had no contact with each other for a long time, and there was no need to let them know too much.
The family members in the Yun family's main house gathered together and talked in low voices.
"Mother, Yun Xiangye's mother-in-law looks so young and extremely beautiful. No wonder Gu Yan is so good-looking."
"No matter how good he is, he is from another place. Do you also want to follow Yun Xiangye and marry a man from another place?"
"I don't want to, but I saw that Yunxiang Ye's mother-in-law was wearing a golden crown on her head. Ye Wanhe went to the palace to be a slave, and she seemed to be wearing a golden hairpin on her head. The workmanship was exquisite. Isn't this gold that ordinary people can't wear?"
"And who knows if Yun Xiangye just wanted to show off when he returned to Yongxing City, and swelled up his face and fattened up his wealth, just to buy this gold and make it into jewelry to show off."
Everyone in the Yun family looked at Yun Xiangye with disdain.
"Your Highness, the Yun family's ancestral tomb is here."
A voice was heard not far away, and several Yuezhou officials came forward to greet Zhao Yun.
