Chapter 75: Go see Zhao Jing
Fu Qianran looked at Yun Xiangye and asked, "What's the matter?"
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "I plan to open an embroidery workshop before March 3rd. I want to make two sets of clothes for Miss An Ran, so that she can wear them to the banquet and make a name for my embroidery workshop. I wonder if I can go to your house to help Miss An Ran take measurements and tailor clothes?"
Fu Qianran didn't expect Yun Xiangye to make this request. She chuckled and said, "Of course you can. The Crown Prince's Consort can come to the Fu family to find me anytime you are free."
Yun Xiangye smiled and respectfully saw Fu Qianran off, then went to the Chang'an government office to withdraw the charges against Wu Yong.
Although Wu Yong was disgusting, letting him off so easily would be too easy for him.
But in the end, Yun Xiangye didn't want to make things difficult for Fu Qianran. She was already a pitiful person.
After Yun Xiangye left the government office in Chang'an, he took Run'er to a jewelry store and said, "Run'er, I withdraw my complaint against Wu Yong. I feel most sorry for you. You can pick out a few pieces of jewelry you like today. Don't worry about the money."
Run'er said hurriedly: "Miss, you haven't done me any wrong, you don't have to give me jewelry."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly and said, "Then you can regard it as a reward for your meritorious service in protecting the master. Don't be polite with me, quickly pick out a set you like."
Seeing this, Run'er only picked out a set of silver jewelry and head ornaments, which were not expensive. Yun Xiangye then took the initiative to buy a jade bracelet for Run'er.
It was already dusk when the two returned home.
Gu Yan was playing on the swing with Nuonuo in Qingfeng Garden. When he saw Yun Xiangye coming back, he asked, "Did you go to the Chang'an government office to withdraw the charges against Wu Yong?"
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Fu Qianran came to me and begged me to let Wu Yong go. She is also a pitiful person, and I don't want to embarrass her."
Gu Yan frowned slightly and said, "It would be better if you could be a little more tolerant towards outsiders."
Yun Xiangye said: "I am not tolerant of Wu Yong, I just feel sorry for Fu Qianran. Both of us lost our mother at the age of fifteen, and we both have husbands..."
Yun Xiangye glanced around, fearing that any Dark Dragon Guards might have heard what she said, so she had to hold her words back.
Yun Xiangye said: "Besides, why would we offend the future Crown Princess just to vent our anger? Fu Qianran is already pitiful enough."
Gu Yan said: "You have already said that she will be the Crown Princess in the future, do you still need to pity her?"
Yun Xiangye sighed and said, "Being a Crown Princess is so pitiful. You can't leave the palace, and there's the Crown Prince..."
Yun Xiangye glanced around again and forced herself to stop herself from saying bad things about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Seeing her suspicious look, Gu Yan chuckled and whispered, "You don't have to worry about offending Fu Qianran. His Highness is not so unreasonable."
Yun Xiangye said: "I am not only afraid of offending Fu Qianran, but I also pity her. Although my mother died young, my uncle and his family treated me very well.
As for her, her grandmother is partial to her grandson and indulges him. If I don't want to let Wu Yong go, wouldn't I be making things difficult for Fu Qianran? She can't give an explanation to her grandmother. Fu Qianran is already pitiful enough. Why should a woman make things difficult for another woman? "
Gu Yan sneered and said, "You only know how to pity others, why don't you pity me? Wouldn't it be more pitiful for me to kneel for a night?"
"You're not pitiful, you deserve it." Gu Yan frowned slightly and snorted.
Yun Xiangye ignored Gu Yan and went back into the house to embroider the unfinished painting of red plum blossoms.
At night, Gu Yan came back from the study and saw Yun Xiangye still embroidering. He walked up to her and asked, "Is this painted by Junior Sister Lin?"
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Well, her paintings are quite beautiful."
Yun Xiangye doesn't know how to paint, but she knows how to embroider, and the plum blossoms she embroidered with this painting are lifelike.
"Don't embroider anymore. One hour a day is enough. You embroider even at night. Do you still have eyes?"
Yun Xiangye said: "I want to make a few more clothes before the embroidery workshop opens, so that I can earn more money."
Gu Yan asked, "Are you short of silver? Didn't mother give you tens of thousands of silver?"
Yun Xiangye said: "It may not be mine. I will divorce you when the time comes..."
Gu Yan frowned upon hearing this. He held Yun Xiangye's hand tightly and said, "Will you feel uncomfortable if you don't mention the divorce for a day?"
Before Yun Xiangye could say anything, Gu Yan pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips.
Gu Yan picked up Yun Xiangye and walked to the bed. Gu Yan placed Yun Xiangye on the bed and whispered, "Don't mention divorce again in the future."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan's dishonest eyes and hands, and asked coldly: "Your legs don't hurt anymore?"
Gu Yan chuckled and said, "I know you still care about me."
Yun Xiangye said: "Who feels sorry for you? I just..."
Gu Yan leaned over and covered Yun Xiangye's red lips, trying to cover his ears and steal the bell, thinking that she was just worried about him.
After being kissed for a while, Yun Xiangye took the initiative.
Gu Yan was surprised at Yun Xiangye's initiative. After all, when she was deeply in love with Jiangnan, she rarely took the initiative like this.
When Yun Xiangye saw that Gu Yan was ready to attack, she reached out and pushed Gu Yan away forcefully when Gu Yan was off guard. "Didn't you say that you would ask Nan'an to apologize to me when we get back to Chang'an? When Nan'an comes to apologize to me, then you can touch me."
Gu Yan was caught off guard and pushed under the bed by Yun Xiangye. He laughed angrily and said, "Yun Xiangye, do you want to be a widow for the rest of your life?"
Yun Xiangye snorted coldly and turned his back to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan sighed helplessly, "I will ask Nan An to apologize to you tomorrow."
Yun Xiangye just pretended to be fast asleep.
Gu Yan took a deep breath and went into the bathtub.
--
The next morning.
When Yun Xiangye woke up, it was already noon. She had gotten used to getting up so late and didn't want to change.
After washing and dressing, Yun Xiangye began to embroider.
When Nuonuo came over, she saw Yunxiangye embroidering, so she played beside her without making any noise. When Yunxiangye took a rest, she took her out to play on the swing.
When Yun Xiangye was swinging on the swing with Nuonuo, Gu Jingyu brought Princess Nan'an over.
"Sister-in-law."
Yun Xiangye looked at Princess Nan'an who was behind Gu Jingyu. She only took one look at Nan'an and let Nanny Cao carry her away.
Princess Nan'an stepped forward and said to Yunxiang Yefu, "I'm sorry. I was too worried about my brother's condition that day and said something I shouldn't have said. I know you're not that kind of person. We've known each other for many years and played together in Jiangnan. I was blinded by greed that day."
Yun Xiangye looked at Princess Nan'an and said, "I have never coveted any wealth. It was not until the day I set foot in Chang'an that I learned that Gu Yan was the eldest princess's son. He had kept it a secret from me before! If I had known that your brother was the prince of Chu, I would have been even more reluctant to marry him. I still understand that a man as great as Qi is not a good match.
If Gu Yan had not concealed his identity from me and if he had not saved my life, I would not have broken my oath."
Princess Nan'an bowed her head and said, "I have wronged you, but I am really worried about my brother's condition. He has been twenty years old since the first day of the lunar year, and he has become skinny... Please, go and see my brother."
Gu Jingyu opened her eyes wide and said, "No!"
Princess Nan'an only looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "My brother really cares about you. My father has forced him to get married over the years, but he was unwilling. He didn't come to Jiangnan to find you because he also wanted to make achievements in the court and ask for an imperial decree to grant marriage..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Princess Nan'an and said, "It's useless to say all this now. You should persuade him to get better treatment."
"Yun Xiangye, are you really so cruel?" Princess Nan'an said with tears in her eyes.
Yun Xiangye sighed, "Yeah."
Princess Nan'an clenched her hands and said, "Yun Xiangye, if anything happens to my brother, I will never forgive you."
Gu Jingyu frowned and said, "What do you mean by not forgiving my sister-in-law? You came here today to apologize. What does your brother's illness have to do with my sister-in-law? Cousin Zhao Jing is just wishful thinking."
Princess Nan'an took a deep breath and stared at Yun Xiangye and said, "Let me ask you again, are you unwilling to go see my brother?"
