Chapter 45 Will Wei Xi Really Become the Crown Prince's Concubine?
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's wrist and said, "I told you that my grandmother hated men taking concubines the most in her life. If I dare to take a concubine, my mother will be the first one to not forgive me."
Yun Xiangye became more and more angry after listening to Gu Yan's words.
Gu Yan didn’t take a concubine not because of her, but because his elders would not forgive him?
Gu Yanyun continued to explain, "I really didn't know that Wei Xi would have such thoughts. I didn't let you say anything bad about Wei Xi before because I was afraid that you would offend the Wei family. After all, Wei Xi is the niece of the Queen."
Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand and said, "Then should I thank you for thinking about me?"
Gu Yan reached out and pulled Yun Xiangye into his arms and whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiangye, you Chang'an has indeed suffered a lot of injustice, and I am sorry for you."
Yun Xiangye listened to Gu Yan's repeated apologies and finally shed tears in his arms: "You are the one who made me feel the most wronged. You said that I was unreasonable and that I quarreled with you every day, but it was obviously me who was wronged. On the contrary, you said that only women and villains are difficult to raise.
I followed you all the way to Chang'an, just to live a good life here, but you were so good, first you hid your identity from me, and then one Chang'an noble lady after another came and said that I was not worthy of you..."
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye in his arms, listened to her sobbing accusations, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Yun Xiangye said with great grievance: "It's not like I don't have relatives in Jiangnan. When we got married, your aunt and uncle said that if you get married and recover from your illness, it doesn't matter if I don't want to go back to Chang'an with you.
I gave up everything in the south of the Yangtze River, left my hometown where I had lived for twenty-three years, and followed you to a completely unfamiliar place. I originally thought that you were just the son of a wealthy businessman, and I also thought that although your family is richer than mine, you are still merchants after all. But you waited until I came to Chang'an before telling me that you are not a merchant, but the son of the eldest princess. Do you know how difficult it is for me to adapt to all this?
I have never been looked down upon in the past twenty-three years, but now that I have come to Chang'an City, even the four maids who used to be by your side can bully me at will!"
Gu Yan felt guilty and whispered again: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Yun Xiangye cried and said, "You have made me suffer so much injustice, but I will not easily forgive you just because you say sorry..."
Gu Yan whispered in Yun Xiangye's ear: "I will help you get the fake death medicine after the New Year. Can you forgive me?"
Yun Xiangye leaned in Gu Yan's arms and said, "This is what you promised me."
Gu Yan touched Yun Xiangye's head and said, "Then what do you want me to do? In order for you to forgive me?"
Yun Xiangye whispered in a humming voice that only the two of them could hear: "After my sister fakes her death, I will follow her "coffin" back to Jiangnan."
"Impossible!" Gu Yan frowned.
Yun Xiangye shed tears and said, "It's not like I won't come to Chang'an after going to Jiangnan..."
"If you really want to go back to Jiangnan, you have to leave Nuonuo behind."
Yun Xiangye pursed her lips after hearing what Gu Yan said. It turned out that what Gu Yan cared about the most was Nuonuo...
However, Yun Xiangye was happy for Nuonuo. After all, for Nuonuo, in her parents' hearts, Nuonuo was always the first.
Gu Yan said: "As long as Nuonuo stays in Chang'an, I won't be afraid that you won't come back."
"How could I not come back?" Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan, "If I don't come back, you can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the truth."
Gu Yan snorted and said, "Do you think I don't know what you are thinking? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. How dare I tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the truth?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I just want to go back home. My sister has been in the palace for many years. How can I feel at ease if she goes back to Jiangnan alone? I will really go back to Chang'an. Nuonuo can't leave me for such a long time. I have to take Nuonuo back to Jiangnan with me."
"If you are worried, find a few people to follow me. If I don't want to go back to Chang'an, you can have your people take me back to Chang'an."
Gu Yanwei frowned and said, "We'll discuss this later."
Yun Xiangye wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
Seeing Yun Xiangye crying out of grievance again, Gu Yan hugged her tightly in his arms.
Gu Yan really didn't expect Wei Xi to have such a disgusting mind. Divorcing his wife and taking her as a concubine would be something that only a heartless person could do.
Yun Xiangye was in Gu Yan's arms, wiping away tears of grievance with the back of her hand, when she heard the voices of Wei Xi and the wife of Duke Weiguo coming from not far away.
"mother!"
"What a good old lady from the Gu family! How nice! As the wife of the emperor's brother-in-law, I came to pay her New Year's greetings, but she actually drove us away! It's no wonder that the Gu family's hospitality has raised a son who has no idea of moral principles!"
Wei Xi hurriedly said, "Mother, we are still in the Princess's residence, how can you say this? Are you trying to kill me?"
The wife of Duke Weiguo said, "They can do this, so why should they be afraid of what others say? The Gu family has willingly lowered themselves to depravity, marrying a daughter-in-law of low birth who makes people laugh. In the future, we should cut off this relationship, so that even our Wei family will not be tainted by the smell of money from the merchants."
Wei Xi frowned and said, "Mother, how can I meet Cousin Yan in the future if you say that?"
The wife of the Duke of Weiguo said angrily: "Gu Yan is also blind and heartless. You should show me some demeanor that the niece of the Queen should have. Gu Yan is willing to be humble and marry a merchant girl from a small town. You should stop being stupid.
The Crown Princess will enter the palace in April. After she enters the palace, the palace may choose a concubine for His Royal Highness. You are His Royal Highness's cousin, and the Queen is your aunt. If you enter the East Palace, even if you are a concubine, you will be more honorable than the Crown Princess."
Wei Xi said: "I won't marry my cousin the Crown Prince, I only like my cousin Yan!"
Yun Xiangye listened to Wei Xi's words and looked up at Gu Yan. She didn't understand what was so good about Gu Yan in Wei Xi's eyes?
How could Wei Xi not even care about the position of the Crown Prince's concubine?
Gu Yan pulled Yun Xiangye out through the side door to avoid running into the Wei family mother and daughter and causing embarrassment.
On the way back to Qingfeng Garden with Gu Yan, Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Did you provoke Wei Xi before coming to Jiangnan?"
Gu Yan said: "No."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Why would she come to propose marriage to you if she didn't provoke me?"
Gu Yan said, "How should I know? Although she and I are cousins, there is still a difference between men and women, and we only see each other once or twice a year."
Yun Xiangye asked curiously, "Fu Anran is so beautiful, why don't you agree to her proposal?"
Gu Yan said, "How can she be beautiful? I don't know who named her the most beautiful woman in Chang'an, but Fu Anran's appearance is better than my mother's. I will never accept it."
Yun Xiangye chuckled, "Why didn't I know you cared so much about your mother before?"
During the three years in Jiangnan, Yun Xiangye seldom heard Gu Yan talk about his mother. That was why when Yun Xiangye came to Chang'an again, he was actually full of fear towards his parents-in-law.
Gu Yan said: "My mother is naturally the best in the world."
Yun Xiangye thought about the thirty thousand taels of silver notes hidden in her box, nodded slightly and said, "I agree with this, but my mother is also the best mother in the world."
Yun Xiangye looked up at the clear blue cloudless sky.
Gu Yan whispered: "Since you have married me, my mother will also be your mother in the future."
Yun Xiangye put away her sadness and asked, "Gu Yan, will Wei Xi really become the Crown Prince's concubine?"
