Chapter 176: Jealousy of Clothes
Yun Xiangye raised her eyes to look at Gu Yan. After the divorce, Gu Yan seemed to be a different person. "You have no evidence. If Wang Tao insists that it was my uncle's fabric that caused his sister-in-law to have a rash and cause trouble, we have no evidence to seek justice from Wei Xi."
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way to make Wang Tao tell the truth."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan in confusion.
Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Nuonuo is in Qingfeng Garden. It's getting dark. Come back to Qingfeng Garden with me."
Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand and said, "You are Nuonuo's father. I feel relieved if you take care of Nuonuo for a night occasionally. I'm going back to the embroidery workshop first."
Gu Yan said: "I'll take you back to the embroidery workshop first."
Yun Xiangye did not refuse. She opened the side door of the embroidery workshop and was about to go in when she saw Gu Yan following her in.
Gu Yan glanced at the sky and said, "It's curfew outside now."
Yun Xiangye said, "You are the Prince of Ning, what does the curfew outside have to do with you?"
Gu Yan said: "I can't walk anymore, let me rest for a while before leaving."
Yun Xiangye pushed Gu Yan out of the side door and then closed the door heavily.
Nuonuo is not here today, and Yun Xiangye knows exactly what Gu Yan is planning, so how could she let him get his wish?
Tonight, without Nuonuo and Run'er, Yun Xiangye couldn't sleep well.
The next morning, Yun Xiangye had just gotten up when she saw Gu Yan carrying the tearful Nuonuo in.
Yun Xiangye quickly took Nuonuo and glared at Gu Yan: "How did you take care of Nuonuo? Nuonuo, don't cry."
Little Nuonuo rubbed his little head on Yun Xiangye's shoulder.
Gu Yan said: "You know that Nuonuo will want you as soon as she wakes up."
Yun Xiangye coaxed Nuonuo softly and kissed her little face for a long time before Nuonuo stopped crying.
Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "Come with me to Chu Jing Pavilion."
Yun Xiangye frowned and asked, "Why are you going to Chu Jing Pavilion so early in the morning?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "Didn't Wei Xi smash my uncle's shop? Let's go smash Chu Jingge's shop."
Yun Xiangye said: "This Chu Jingge shop belongs to Zhao Jing. If you smashed Chu Jingge's shop, then Zhao Jing is innocent, right?"
Gu Yan said: "Husband and wife are one body, how can Zhao Jing be innocent? Are you feeling sorry for Zhao Jing?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Don't talk nonsense. I just think that if Wei Xi committed a crime, she should be found. It is not easy for a woman to stay in her husband's family after getting married. There is no need to involve her husband and let Wei Xi be scolded by her husband for nothing."
Gu Yan said: "Wei Xi has even implicated your uncle and aunt, so why should we show mercy to Wei Xi? Just give him a taste of his own medicine, and this matter has to be made a big deal."
After Gu Yan finished speaking, he held Yun Xiangye's wrist and took her to a teahouse opposite Chu Jing Pavilion.
At this time in the morning, the sun has just come out and the weather is already very hot. The streets are crowded with people, all of whom have come to buy things early.
As Yun Xiangye sat down, she saw several burly men approach Chu Jingge and shouted, "Your clothes have caused my sister to have rashes all over her body. Today we will make sure that your shop will close down."
As they spoke, several men started to go in and smash things.
The shopkeeper in Chu Jing Pavilion shouted repeatedly: "You are rebelling. Do you know that behind Chu Jing Pavilion is the Chu Palace?"
"You dare to smash the clothing store in Prince Chu's mansion?"
"Well, the Chu Palace is still selling fabrics that cause people to break out in rashes, so we should smash it even more."
Yun Xiangye felt somewhat distressed when she saw pieces of clothes being thrown on the ground.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and frowned: "Are you so distressed?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I am an embroiderer, so I naturally feel sorry for those clothes. It is not a waste of effort to make these beautiful clothes, only to have them ruined like this."
Gu Yan listened to Yun Xiangye's reply and said, "You even feel sorry for your clothes, but you don't even feel sorry for me."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan. He was so indifferent to her in the past, why was he now jealous of her clothes?
A few strong men smashed the clothing store and left, leaving clothes and wooden cabinets scattered all over the floor.
How could the shopkeeper Chu Jingge let these strong men leave? He asked repeatedly, "Who are you? You smashed our shop and want to leave? How can it be so easy?"
"I'm Han Bing from the Cavalry Team of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion. Your clothes gave my sister a rash, so what if I smashed them?"
When Yun Xiangye heard the sturdy man announce the army of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion, he frowned slightly and said, "It turned out to be the army of the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion... Why did he announce his own name? Will Wei Xi cause trouble for the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion..."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "My father has already handed over his military power for my mother. The Gu family has no soldiers now, so we can only ask the soldiers from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion to help a little. Do you want to go to the East Palace?"
Yun Xiangye said: "I am just a commoner now, how can I enter the East Palace?"
Gu Yan said: "Just follow me."
Yun Xiangye didn’t get to see her sister last time, and she missed her sister very much. She wondered how she was doing now?
Yun Xiangye followed Gu Yan into the East Palace, and they saluted to the Crown Prince.
Zhao Yun looked at Yun Xiangye and asked, "What are you doing here in the East Palace on such a hot summer day?"
Gu Yan said, "Your Highness, there have been many cases in Chang'an City recently where people have developed rashes from wearing clothes."
Zhao Yun said: "It's summer now. It's so hot, it's inevitable to get some heat rash."
Gu Yan said: "I suspect someone is poisoning the fabric. Otherwise, it is impossible that the fabric sold by Uncle Xiangye's family yesterday caused the wife of the housekeeper of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion to have a rash and was smashed by the brother-in-law of the housekeeper of the Duke of Weiguo's mansion..."
“Boom!”
A water cup fell to the ground.
Ye Wanhe came out from behind the screen anxiously and asked, "What? Gu Yan, what did you say?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Ye Wanhe whom she had not seen for a long time. She was now dressed in gorgeous clothes and her belly was obviously pregnant. She bowed slowly and said, "Your Highness the Crown Princess."
Zhao Yun glared at Gu Yan fiercely.
Gu Yan said: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, we only smashed the shop yesterday, but my uncle, aunt and cousin are all fine."
Ye Wanhe looked at Zhao Yun and said, "Your Highness, even if you ask me to sever ties with my family, they are still my biological parents. How can I feel at ease when they are humiliated like this?"
Zhao Yun supported Ye Wanhe and said, "You are pregnant, you shouldn't be so excited."
Yun Xiangye said: "Sister, don't worry, uncle and aunt are fine. Gu Yan will send more guards to protect uncle and aunt in the future."
Zhao Yun looked down at Gu Yan and asked, "Was it the Wei family who smashed it?"
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Yes, today the fabric in Chu Jing Pavilion also caused a rash on the sister of Han Bing, who is good at cavalry in Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Han Bing sent people to smash Chu Jing Pavilion early in the morning. I think that the fabrics in Chang'an City have repeatedly caused people to have rashes. There must be something fishy. In order to prevent more people from getting rashes after wearing clothes and causing panic, we should let the prefect of Chang'an investigate the whole story."
Yun Xiangye finally understood why Gu Yan wanted to destroy Chu Jing Pavilion. On the one hand, it was to give someone a taste of his own medicine. On the other hand, after the incident became a big deal, the prefect of Chang'an would have to investigate the matter thoroughly, and it would be useless for Wang Tao to protect Wei Xi.
