Chapter 59: If I lose my wife and daughter someday, it’s my own fault
In the study.
Zhao Yun said to Gu Yan, "Today I heard that Zhao Jing has been ill for some time. I plan to visit him at the Prince of Chu's mansion later. Have you visited him?"
Gu Yan said: "No, but I think if I go to visit him, he will only get sicker."
Zhao Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yan.
Gu Yan said: "It is really a coincidence that the woman Zhao Jing has been thinking about is Xiang Ye."
Zhao Yun frowned and said, "It's OK if you're blind, but is he also blind?"
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness..."
Zhao Yun snorted, "What kind of drug did Yun Xiangye give you? How could a street vendor girl who has no rules, no respect, and no respect for the emperor's authority be so bewitched by my cousins?"
Zhao Yun said: "Even if you have to marry her for the sake of getting married, what about Zhao Jing? He is the prince of Chu after all. Is this the only way he can see?"
Yun Xiangye, who was standing outside the study room, heard what the Crown Prince said inside and murmured in Yongxing dialect, "You are still the Crown Prince, and you are still the heir to the throne. You actually said bad things about me in front of my husband. Is this the upbringing rules that a heir to the throne should follow?"
Gu Yan didn't know how to speak for her.
Ye Wanhe held Yun Xiangye's wrist and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your Highness has never been with you, so he doesn't know how good you are. Don't take it to heart."
In the study, Zhao Yun continued to say to Gu Yan: "So Zhao Jing got this disease because of Yun Xiangye? She is capable of making you brothers quarrel with each other, but she is not as beautiful as Fu Anran. For her, you two are not afraid of being laughed at."
Gu Yan sighed and said, "Your Highness..."
Zhao Yun said, "Forget it. I will go first and visit Zhao Jing in the Prince of Chu's mansion."
After Zhao Yun stood up, Gu Yan went forward to open the study door for him. When he suddenly opened the study door, Gu Yan saw Yun Xiangye outside.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that Yun Xiangye was right at the door, so he didn't feel the embarrassment of having said something about her behind her back.
Yun Xiangye had to bow to Zhao Yun due to the rules and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Yun only looked at Ye Wanhe who was standing aside and said, "You go back to the East Palace with the ceremonial procession. I have to go to the Prince Chu's Mansion."
"yes."
After the prince and Ye Wanhe left Qingfeng Garden, Yun Xiangye raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yan.
Seeing Yun Xiangye's unfriendly look, Gu Yan asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Your Highness just said something bad about me in front of you, why didn't you defend me?" Yun Xiangye frowned, "I am your wife."
Gu Yan said: "Your Highness just said that you are not a stunning beauty, which is not wrong. Although you are indeed good-looking, you are indeed not as beautiful as a stunning beauty..."
Yun Xiangye said: "The previous sentence."
Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "A merchant girl who has no rules, no respect, and despises the imperial power? Your Highness is not wrong. You have no rules, no respect, and despise the imperial power. You are indeed a merchant girl from the market... How can I defend you?"
Yun Xiangye was extremely angry. "Since you despise me so much, let's divorce. Now that I have a cousin, I am not afraid that Run'er, Nuonuo and I will encounter danger on the way back to Jiangnan."
Gu Yan said, "How could I dislike you? You really have no rules. I am your husband, but you beat and scold me. You don't know that husbands are the most respected. As for disrespecting the imperial power... Did you scold His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace last time? His Royal Highness didn't even bother with you."
Yun Xiangye said, "He aborted my sister's child. I called him a bastard, but I didn't know at that time that he even sent someone to eavesdrop on my conversation with my sister. If this word would get to your ears, I would never curse him."
"That's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, you can't even curse him in your heart."
Gu Yan whispered, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not bother with you about this matter, which is already a kindness to you. He just said a few words to you, and it is not easy for me to refute him. What's more, what he said was not wrong."
Yun Xiangye said angrily, "In Jiangnan, no one has ever said that I don't know the rules. I don't know the rules of the nobles and royal relatives in Chang'an City because you never told me that you are a royal relative. What I know are the rules of the merchants' families."
"You still don't know how to respect your husband and respect him as your superior? Why should you respect your husband as your superior?
I am a woman in my family. I have an embroidery workshop to make a living. As long as the court does not collapse and the world is not in chaos, I can live a stable life in peacetime. Is it not enough that I have to compromise by marrying you? Do you also have to put yourself in a lowly position?
You also have a younger sister and a daughter. According to what you said, when Jingyu and Nuonuo get married in the future, they will have to respect their husbands as the superiors and them as the inferiors?
Then I would rather Nuonuo never get married in her life. Why should my daughter, whom I cherish so dearly, be humbled after getting married?"
Gu Yan said: "The rules of the world are to respect your husband. Didn't your parents tell you that?"
"Is this the right rule in the world? Does Nuonuo have to be inferior to others after getting married? Why?"
Yun Xiangye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. She hated herself for crying even though she was right.
These tears would probably only make Gu Yan even more proud.
Gu Yan was speechless for a moment and could only admit his mistake: "I was wrong."
Yun Xiangye snorted lightly and said sarcastically, "You are the husband, how could you be wrong? The fault is all my wife's, for not advising my husband properly. You are the husband, you are extremely noble, you are the high and mighty Prince of Ning, and I am just a daughter of a merchant in the market. If you are willing to marry me, I should be grateful. Thank you, your ancestors for eighteen generations!"
Gu Yan suddenly felt that Yun Xiangye was not thanking his eighteen generations of ancestors, but scolding them.
"Hey, today is such a happy day, why are you quarreling again?"
Xie Zhixuan came over with little Nuonuo in her arms and said, "Nuonuo is a little restless."
Yun Xiangye took Nuonuo from Xie Zhixuan's arms, held the whimpering Nuonuo in her arms and coaxed her.
Nuonuo calmed down a lot when she was in her arms. Yunxiang Ye bowed and said, "Mom, I'll take Nuonuo back to my room and take a nap first."
Xie Zhixuan looked at Yun Xiangye's back and asked Gu Yan, "How did you bully Xiangye again?"
Gu Yan said: "I just said a few words that the husband is the most respected, but she didn't know the difference between the two, so she got angry..."
Xie Zhixuan: "What a great saying that the husband is the most respected. According to you, in our family, your father should be the most respected and I should be the least respected?"
Gu Yan: "You are different. You are the eldest princess, the monarch, so naturally you are the most respected."
Xie Zhixuan said: "If you lose your wife and daughter one day, it's your own fault."
Gu Yan frowned slightly, "I know I was wrong."
Xie Zhixuan said: "It's not enough to admit your mistakes, you need to make amends."
Gu Yan looked at Xie Zhixuan and asked, "How do we make up for it?"
"Your wife is angry, and you ask me how to make amends?"
Xie Zhixuan took a deep breath, thinking that he was her son after all, and asked, "What does she like most?"
Gu Yan didn’t know what Yun Xiangye liked for a moment, but there was something in front of him.
Gu Yan said: "Mother, a few years ago, a witness gave the Censorate some important evidence. Now he is being targeted by the dignitaries he accused. I want to help him fake his death and get away. I want to change his identity and go to another city. I need a fake death drug..."
