Chapter 1 Divorce



A large ship was sailing in the misty river in winter.

Inside the cabin, inside the cloud-shrouded gauze tent, Yun Xiangye was covered in sweat and fell into a dream.

"How can she, a fatherless and motherless daughter of a common merchant, be worthy of being the daughter-in-law of my Gu family?"

"Gu Yan, listen to your father and divorce her and marry someone from a wealthy family. How can a girl like this, who comes from a poor family, be worthy of being the future mistress of our Gu family?"

"Gu Yan, you must write the divorce letter today. Mother will never allow a girl from a lowly family like this to enter our Gu family."

"Yun Xiangye, when I married you to bring you good luck, I was unconscious. It was never my intention to marry a girl from a lowly family like you. Now that my parents look down on you, I have no choice but to divorce you."

Yun Xiangye looked at her parents-in-law, whose faces she couldn't clearly see, and then at her handsome husband, who was handing her the divorce letter. Her hands trembled, and she was filled with unbearable anger...

"Mother."

"Mother, open the door..."

Yun Xiangye woke up from her nightmare when she heard the baby voice of her two-year-old daughter, gasping for breath.

It turned out to be just a nightmare...

Although Yun Xiangye and her husband have been married for three years, she has never met her parents-in-law.

This time, Yun Xiangye was very nervous as she traveled with her husband from a small town in the south of the Yangtze River to the capital Chang'an to meet her parents-in-law for the first time.

Her husband's family is a wealthy businessman in the herbal medicine business. The Renyuan Pharmacy, which is well-known in the Dasheng Dynasty, is her husband's family's property and is extremely wealthy.

She was just the owner of a small embroidery workshop. Her parents died early, and the money she earned from the workshop in a year was just enough to provide her two sisters with enough food and clothing. The gap between the two families was as huge as the difference between heaven and earth.

What you think about during the day, you dream about at night.

She actually dreamed that she and her husband had returned from Jiangnan to Chang'an City to meet her parents-in-law. Her parents-in-law despised her for her humble background, and her husband, following his parents' orders, gave her a letter of divorce...

Fortunately, it was just a nightmare.

When Yun Xiangye came to her senses, she saw the extremely handsome profile of the man beside her.

She had been with this man day and night for three years, and sometimes she was still moved by his appearance. After all, such a handsome man was really rare.

Seeing Yun Xiangye wake up, Gu Yan asked, "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you planning on giving Nuonuo a brother or sister?"

Yun Xiangye chuckled and pushed away the man's hand on her waist, saying, "No, Nuonuo is calling us from outside the cabin."

When Gu Yan heard his daughter knocking on the door, he kissed Yun Xiangye on the cheek, then got out of bed, opened the door, and picked up his daughter who was outside.

The little girl, who is almost two years old, is at her cutest and softest.

"Daddy, Mommy."

Gu Yan carried his daughter to the bed.

Little Nuonuo immediately threw herself into Yun Xiangye's arms. Yun Xiangye held the little pink ball in her arms and couldn't help but kiss her on the cheek, "Nuonuo."

Little Nuonuo called out sweetly, "Mom."

Yun Xiangye hugged her daughter and said with a smile, "Nuonuo, we'll arrive in Chang'an around this afternoon. Are you happy?"

Xiao Nuonuo clapped his hands and said, "I'm happy, Grandma and Grandpa."

When Yun Xiangye heard Xiao Nuonuo calling for her grandparents, she recalled her dream and her smile paused.

Three years ago, on his 20th birthday, he accompanied his sister on a boat trip and accidentally fell into the lake. He was saved by Gu Yan, who had just come to Jiangnan for business.

However, Gu Yanchun went down to the lake to save her life that day, but he caught a cold and became seriously ill after a long period of illness.

Gu Yan's uncle listened to the Taoist priest's advice and decided that letting Yun Xiangye get married might help Gu Yan's condition improve.

Gu Yan's uncle had no choice but to try his luck and let Yun Xiangye marry Gu Yan to bring him happiness.

In order to repay her gratitude, Yun Xiangye had no choice but to agree to marry Gu Yan. Their wedding day was so rushed that Gu Yan's parents were in Chang'an and couldn't make it.

Only Gu Yan's aunt and uncle held a hastily held wedding banquet for the two of them. In fact, they didn't even have the complete parental consent, three letters and six ceremonies.

I wonder what her parents-in-law would do when they see her. Would they look down on her background just like in the nightmare and ask her husband to divorce her?

Yun Xiangye thought that dreams might be the opposite of reality, and even if her parents-in-law disliked her and wanted to divorce her, that would be fine. She could just go back to her small town in the south of the Yangtze River and continue to run her embroidery business, and she would be able to support her daughter.

Yun Xiangye touched her daughter's cheek and said, "Be good when you go to see your grandparents!"

"Be good."

Little Nuonuo, who is less than two years old, can only speak two words at a time.

Gu Yan also lay down on the bed. He put his big arms around Yun Xiangye and said, "I'll be going home in the afternoon. I have something to tell you."

Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely be filial to my parents-in-law."

Gu Yan looked at his little daughter in his arms and said, "Xiangye, I haven't told you the identities of my parents in the past three years."

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Aren't your parents business owners of a pharmacy?"

"My mother is indeed the owner of Renyuan Pharmacy." Gu Yan said, "But my parents' identities are more than just running a pharmacy."

Yun Xiangye smiled and said, "What other identity do you have? Could it be that your father is still the Prime Minister?"

Gu Yan nodded: "Yes, my father was appointed as the Left Prime Minister, and was also the Prince of Ning, a different surname, who was conferred by His Majesty..."

Yun Xiangye took a breath, Prince Ning?

Prince Ning, who pacified the Nanzhao War and destroyed the Nanzhao Kingdom's territory into Dasheng South City, was actually her father-in-law?

Yun Xiangye said in disbelief: "Gu Yan, are you kidding me?"

"No, my father is really Prince Ning."

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan. The first time she met Gu Yan, she felt that he had an inexplicable dignity. He was not just a kid from a wealthy family, but more like a kid from an aristocratic family.
