Gu Yan had lived for twenty-one years, but this was the first time he had received such a slap. Since he was a child, even his parents were reluctant to hit him.
Seeing Yun Xiangye still complaining about her painful hand, Gu Yan angrily said, "I've been very humble to you these past two days. I know you're angry with me, so I was planning to take you to the palace to find your cousin today, but you've become even more unreasonable."
Yun Xiangye asked, "Gu Yan, have I been lying about my identity for three years? Or are my cousins saying behind your back that you're not worthy of being my husband, but only fit to be my male concubine?"
Gu Yan frowned, "Yun Xiangye! What nonsense are you talking about? What about male favorites and concubines? Is this something a decent person should say?"
Seeing Nuonuo on the bed showing signs of waking up, Yun Xiangye hurried over, patted her gently, and said in a gentle tone, "Be good, sleep well."
Yun Xiangye then turned to look at Gu Yan with a stern gaze and said in a cold voice, "If you really think I'm being unreasonable and don't like me, then just write me a letter of divorce and be done with it. After all, you had to marry me because you wanted me to bring you good luck.
And I was forced to marry you because I thought you saved my life."
Gu Yan frowned as he listened to Yun Xiangye's words, "Are you forced to marry me just to save my life?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Yes, I have already been married off and swore never to marry. If you hadn't saved my life, I would have been forced to marry you. Otherwise, I would never have married you."
Gu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes were red. After three years of marriage, he realized that Yun Xiangye had been forced to marry him!
"Even if you were forced to marry me, you are still my wife now."
Gu Yan's voice was extremely cold. After he finished speaking, he reached out and took Yun Xiangye's wrist and went to the outer room. When they reached the small couch in the outer room, he lowered his head and kissed Yun Xiangye's red lips, biting the corner of her lips hard.
It took Gu Yan a long time to let go of Yun Xiangye.
Yun Xiangye saw the anger in Gu Yan's eyes and said, "You also know how to be angry."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "Gu Yan, why are you so angry? Aren't you forced to marry me because I'm bringing you good luck? If you truly considered me your wife, you wouldn't have put me in this situation today."
"You know very well that your family has a lot of property, and your mother is usually busy with daily affairs and needs a sensible and versatile daughter-in-law to take charge of the family. In these three years, you have never thought of raising me to be the daughter-in-law of the princess's mansion.
In your eyes, I am just a wife you have to marry, and in your heart I am just a dispensable person."
Gu Yan frowned and said, "You've been making enough noise these past two days, and I've even taken my share of slaps. No matter how angry you are, it's time to calm down."
Yun Xiangye just found it funny. He had never considered herself as his real wife.
Gu Yan concealed his identity and let his cousin live in the Gu Mansion even though he knew that his cousin was interested in him.
Because I said the word "Miss Wei", he scolded me for insulting the daughter of Wei cousin. Can these be offset by a slap in the face?
Gu Yan lowered his head and kissed the corner of Yun Xiangye's lips again, "Nuonuo is already two years old. It's time for Nuonuo to have a younger brother or sister."
Yun Xiangye slapped Gu Yan again. She knew that Gu Yan had no interest in her. She didn't know how to go on living in Chang'an City. How could she possibly have another child with him?
Gu Yan received another slap on the other side of his face. He looked at Yun Xiangye in disbelief, "Are you done yet?"
Yun Xiangye said, "You are the Prince of Ning, and there are many people willing to bear you sons. Not to mention others, even Wei Yu was the first one willing to bear you a son. And those girls in your chambers, Lan Yi and Zhu Yi, are probably also eager to bear you more sons."
Gu Yan reached out and covered Yun Xiangye's red lips. "Yun Xiangye! Do you think Chang'an City is your small town in the south of Yongxing City? Cousin Wei has a pure and innocent reputation as a girl, why do you keep destroying her? If you're angry with me, then hit me, scold me, and that has nothing to do with other women."
"Lan Yi and Zhu Yi have served me for many years. Even though I haven't been in Chang'an City these past few years, they still keep my residence and storehouse in perfect order. Even if you are jealous, you can't be reckless..."
Yun Xiangye grabbed Gu Yan's hands tightly and bit the back of his hands hard until the taste of blood filled her lips before she let go of Gu Yan.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye in front of him in surprise.
He first met Yun Xiangye in February, when he was boating on the lake with his friends and saw two women on a small boat opposite. He shouldn't have looked at them too much, but seeing the two sisters swimming and laughing, speaking the Wu dialect from the south of the Yangtze River, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Unexpectedly, Yun Xiangye happened to fall into the lake. Yun Xiangye could swim, but the clothes she wore that day got entangled and she couldn't swim. She was about to drown.
Gu Yan jumped into the lake to save her without considering the difference between men and women. After rescuing her, he found out that she was the owner of the famous Five-Color Embroidery Workshop in Fangqiao Town, Yongxing City.
She lost her parents at the age of fifteen and became an independent household. She was gentle and generous. Whenever a family in Fangqiao Town wanted to marry off their daughter or get a new daughter-in-law, they would come to Yunxiang Ye to embroider her clothes.
Gu Yan fell into the cold water in February and became seriously ill, and could not be cured even after long-term treatment.
His mother was a doctor, and he didn't believe in the stories of the old Taoist priests and sorcerers who said that illnesses could be cured by bringing good luck.
However, his uncle Prince Xiang and his aunt were both very worried at the time, so he agreed when he was still drowsy.
After all, Gu Yan thought that since he rescued Yun Xiangye from the water, she would definitely not be able to marry anyone else in the future.
After getting married, Yun Xiangye was still very gentle. She made medicine for him and fed him medicine, and took good care of him.
After having a child, Yun Xiangye became an even better wife. In the past three years, although the couple was not very loving, they were happy and content.
