Chapter 67 Daddy will protect Mom well in the future
Gu Yan wanted to spit out the extremely sour candied haws in his mouth, but Yun Xiangye hurriedly said, "This is Nuonuo's filial piety, you can't spit it out."
Gu Yan bit down all the candied haws while enduring the sourness. His teeth ached from the sourness. However, seeing Yun Xiangye's gloating smile, he could only swallow it all.
Gu Yan held little Nuonuo in his arms and said, "It's right for Nuonuo to protect mother, but Nuonuo can't bite people. Other people's hands are so dirty. If Nuonuo bites someone's wrist, she will eat all the dirt. Don't bite people to protect mother in the future."
Xiao Nuonuo said, "Yes! Mother."
Gu Yan understood what Nuonuo meant, but she still chose to bite someone to protect her mother.
Gu Yan kissed Nuonuo's little face and said, "Mom doesn't need Nuonuo's protection. Your mom will naturally be protected by daddy."
Yun Xiangye sneered when hearing Gu Yan's words.
Nuonuo raised her eyes and looked at Gu Yan: "Daddy hugs mommy?"
Gu Yan listened to the slurred baby talk and chuckled, "Well, Daddy will protect Mom well in the future."
Nuonuo threw herself into Gu Yan's arms: "I like Daddy."
Gu Yan hugged Nuonuo tightly and said, "Nuonuo is so good."
Yun Xiangye sneered, "Gu Yan, how could you even deceive Nuonuo?"
Gu Yan looked straight at Yun Xiangye and said, "I didn't lie to Nuonuo. I will protect you in the future. If I break this oath, I will live alone for the rest of my life."
Yun Xiangye said, "Bah, you want to live out your life after breaking this oath? If you break this oath, you will lose all your wealth, have no future, be poor and destitute, have no food to eat, have cold quilts, be separated from your wife and children, have your family destroyed, die young, and not have a good end..."
Gu Yan listened to Yun Xiangye's vicious end word by word, smiled and said: "Well, I will not break this oath."
Yun Xiangye still didn't want to forgive Gu Yan so easily. "You go back. Nuonuo and I will stay in Luoyang for a few days. After the Lantern Festival, we will return to Chang'an."
Gu Yanke didn't believe what Yun Xiangye said, "We're almost in Luoyang, let's go see our aunt together. Why haven't I heard you say you have an aunt before?"
Yun Xiangye said: "When my cousin was thirteen years old, my aunt went north to Luoyang City to do some business. The last time I saw my aunt was when my father passed away. My aunt came from afar to see my father for the last time. After that, I didn't have any contact with my aunt again.
I heard from my cousin that my aunt has been thinking about my sister and me all these years, but all the things she sent to us were withheld by my uncle.”
Gu Yan whispered, "I will ask Qing Ming to ride a fast horse to Luoyang first, buy more gifts in Luoyang City, and prepare them to visit Aunt."
Yun Xiangye hummed.

Inside the Princess's Mansion.
When Xie Zhixuan heard the news from the chief guard, she said angrily, "Gu Yan, he really got rid of his wife and daughter."
Gu Ling said beside him: "Calm down."
Xie Zhixuan only said to the chief guard: "Send someone to tell Gu Yan that if he can't coax Xiangye and Nuonuo back, he doesn't need to come back!"
The captain of the guards hurriedly responded.
Xie Zhixuan said, "In the first month of the year, this bastard Gu Yan actually caused his wife to take their daughter away from Chang'an. This is really too much."
"Calm down, there's no need to be so angry about Yan'er."
Xie Zhixuan frowned and looked at Gu Ling, "You have lost your daughter-in-law and granddaughter, so why are you angry? It's also my fault that I was too busy to teach Yan'er well. If Nuonuo doesn't come back to the princess's mansion, I will definitely not let Gu Yan step into the princess's mansion again."
Gu Ling said: "Well, when Mother Nuonuo and Nuonuo come back, I will definitely give Gu Yan a good scolding, so don't be angry anymore."
Xie Zhixuan sighed and said, "Since you are going to see Aunt Xiangye, we must also pay tribute to the Princess's Mansion."
Xie Zhixuan instructed the steward nearby to select a carriage full of gifts from the warehouse and had the guards from the princess's mansion deliver it to Luoyang City.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, the carriage finally arrived in Luoyang City after three days on the road.
After entering Luoyang City, Yun Xiangye lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the streets on both sides.
The Lantern Festival in Luoyang City was just as lively as that in Chang'an, with the streets and banks of the river covered with lanterns.
Gu Yan said to Yun Xiangye, "Our Gu family has a villa in Luoyang City. Let's go there to rest first. You and Nuonuo should also wash up, and then we can go to the Su family to visit Auntie."
Yun Xiangye did not refuse. After all, she couldn't let her aunt, whom she hadn't seen for many years, worry about her situation.
What's more, Gu Yan's attitude of admitting his mistakes in the past few days has been quite correct.
The Gu family’s villa in Luoyang City is also very grand.
As soon as Yun Xiangye entered the villa, she saw the four maids from Gu Yan's courtyard, Lan Yi, Zhu Yi, and Mei Yi, who she hadn't seen for a long time, were also in the villa...
At this moment, the four maids were coming out of the door and bowing to Gu Yan.
"Prince."
Yun Xiangye felt a chill down her spine. She glared at Gu Yan and said, "Gu Yan! Why are they here? You bastard! Do you really want your family to be separated?"
Gu Yan hurriedly explained, "I didn't know they would be here. After my mother kicked them out of the Princess's Mansion, they came to the Censorate and said you were jealous. How could I have kept them here? I had people kick them out of Chang'an and not let them enter Chang'an again. Who knew they would come to the Gu Family Villa in Luoyang? This was definitely not arranged by my mother and me."
Yun Xiangye said: "This is your Gu family's villa, you said you didn't know about it?"
Gu Yan said: "I really don't know! I swear!"
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan with a look that didn't seem fake, and then looked at Zhu Yi, Lan Yi and the others in front of him, "Who asked you to come here? Tell me!"
Zhu Yilan Yimei Yilian Yi the four maids only looked at Gu Yan, "Prince."
Yun Xiangye snorted and said, "Gu Yan doesn't have the guts to ask me to come here even though he knows you are in the Gu family's villa. Who asked you to come to the Gu family's villa in Luoyang City? If you don't tell the truth, then the housekeeper of this villa and the four of you will be sent to the government..."
The old butler in the lead frowned and looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "You are the merchant girl Yun, right? How dare you call our prince by his name? Prince, this girl is so ignorant of the difference between high and low..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan with sharp eyes.
Gu Yan frowned and looked at the old housekeeper in front of him and said, "Who gave you the courage to say that about the Crown Prince's Consort? Qingming, send them all to the Luoyang government office. As slaves, they are bullying their masters and disrespecting them. Please ask the prefect to punish them severely according to the law."
Zhu Yi hurriedly said, "Prince, Prince...don't do it."
The old housekeeper said, "Sir, I am the servant that Madam Gu brought as a dowry from the Wei family."
Qing Ming sent someone forward and said, "Even if you are the old lady's dowry servant, you cannot be disrespectful to the Crown Prince's wife. Come with me to see the official."
When Yun Xiangye heard that it was the old lady's people, she understood. She walked up to Lan Yi and asked, "Did Wei Xi arrange for you to come to this courtyard?"
Lan Yi's pupils slightly opened.
Yun Xiangye understood Lan Yi's expression. Wei Xi placed these four maids in the Gu family's villa. If they were to be found out one day, she would have to have a big fight with Gu Yan, which would make Wei Xi happy.
After Yun Xiangye watched the old housekeeper and four maids being dragged away to be sent to the authorities, he said to Gu Yan, "This Wei Xi is very scheming."
Gu Yan was actually glad that he had come to Luoyang Villa today. If Yun Xiangye knew about this in the future, Yun Xiangye might not trust him as much as she does today, and the two of them would probably have a big fight then.
Yun Xiangye instructed Qing Ming who was standing beside him, "Go and warn the servants in this courtyard that no one can spread the news that the old housekeeper, Lan Yi and Lian Yi were sent to the government today. If this news is known by Wei Xi, all the servants in this courtyard will be sold."
Qing Ming quickly responded, "Yes, Crown Prince's Consort."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Fortunately, you believed me today."
Yun Xiangye sneered, "I'm not as stupid as you... Wei Xi is the daughter of a Duke, so she is of noble origin, so why does she always want to steal someone's husband? Her methods are so despicable!"
Gu Yan said: "The Princess's Mansion has stopped interacting with Wei Yu, and will never interact with her again in the future."
Yun Xiangye frowned slightly. She didn't think Wei Xi would give up just because she didn't want to have any contact with him.
But now it was more important to see her aunt, so Yun Xiang went straight to the other courtyard to bathe and change clothes.

Luoyang Su Mansion.
Aunt Yun saw Su Zhan coming back at the gate and hurried forward to ask, "Zhan'er, you are finally back. Have you resolved the issues in Chang'an City?"
Su Zhan smiled faintly and said, "It's solved, mother. I have a great event. Please ask the servants to clean up the house and ask the kitchen to cook more delicious dishes. We have a distinguished guest coming to our house today."
Aunt Yun heard Su Zhan's laughter and chuckled, "Could it be that Miss Ye has left the palace? I remember her birthday is in the first month of the year, so it's time for her to leave the palace.
You have waited for her for so many years, and your mother has also been looking forward to holding her grandchild for so many years. Finally, you don’t have to wait any longer.
By the way, why don’t you get married first, and I will go to the Ye family in Yongxing City to make up the betrothal gifts. Otherwise, it will take another half a year to go back and forth to discuss the marriage, and you are not young anymore.”
Su Zhan's smile paused, "She won't leave the palace."
Aunt Yun frowned and said, "What do you mean she won't leave the palace? Miss Ye still has parents at home, and maids can leave the palace when they are 25 years old. Isn't this the palace rule? You've been waiting for her to leave the palace for so many years, why doesn't she leave?"
