Yun Xiangye returned to the main house of Qingfeng Garden and asked Cao Nanny and other maids to leave, leaving only Xiao Nuonuo and Run'er.
Yun Xiangye let Xiao Nuonuo play alone and said to Run'er, "Run'er, I plan to take Nuonuo back to Yongxing City after my sister's wedding. I want you to stay in Chang'an City."
Run'er said, "Miss... please don't leave me alone. I want to go back to Yongxing City with you."
Yun Xiangye said, "There's no one I know looking after the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop in Chang'an City. I'm worried. You should stay and look after it for me. I'll ask my cousin to take good care of you. And now that Sister He is about to become the Crown Princess, if you really run into any trouble, you can go ask her for help."
Run'er said quickly, "No, young lady, I want to stay by your side and serve you."
Yun Xiangye said, "Run'er, you have to stay so that Nuonuo and I can return to Yongxing City. Gu Yan knows that you and I are inseparable. I need you to cover up the fact that I left Chang'an."
Run'er said reluctantly: "Miss..."
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "You will stay in Chang'an and look after the embroidery workshop for me for three years. During these three years, I will share half of the profits with you. After three years, when the embroidery workshop is on track, if you haven't started a family in Chang'an yet, you can return to Yongxing City. I will find you a good husband in Yongxing City. If you have already started a family, this embroidery workshop will be your dowry."
Run'er still couldn't bear to be separated from Yun Xiangye, but in order to protect Yun Xiangye, she could only agree, "Yes, young lady."
"Miss, then... won't Miss Nuonuo also be separated from her uncle and his daughter?"
Yun Xiangye looked at Xiao Nuonuo beside her, "I feel sorry for Nuonuo after all, but Gu Yan and I are destined to not be able to live together anymore. The conflict between him and me has never been resolved. Instead of having a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days, making Nuonuo live in fear between Gu Yan and me, it would be better for her to return to Yongxing City. I will also provide Nuonuo with food and clothing."
Run'er whispered, "Miss, actually, my uncle is not hopeless. If you talk to him nicely, he will still listen to you..."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "No need. I don't want to talk to him anymore. In his eyes, he doesn't truly regard me as his wife. Even the Danshu Tiequan and the fake death potion were all his schemes. I was so moved that I thought he did this for me."
"Besides, I didn't want to leave Yongxing City in the first place."
Yongxing City is a beautiful land of fish and rice, and has been a place of great natural beauty since ancient times. At least she feels at ease in Yongxing City.
Yun Xiangye also knew the problem between her and Gu Yan. It wasn't just Gu Yan's fault, but she had been thinking of backing out from the very beginning.
If the couple loved each other, she would be willing to flatter all the noble ladies and daughters in the world of fame and fortune in Chang'an City for Gu Yan, or even endure their ridicule.
But Gu Yan didn't care about her enough, and now she only had the idea of retreating. Wasn't it all because of Gu Yan?
If he had told her his identity earlier, she would have been prepared and would not have rashly faced all this that was completely different from her identity. She just wanted to escape back to her own comfortable place.
Yun Xiangye called over little Nuonuo and said, "Nuonuo, mother will take you home. You will never see father again, but mother will only love Nuonuo and will sleep with you..."
Little Nuonuo hugged Yun Xiangye tightly and said, "Mommy will sleep with Nuonuo. I don't want Daddy."
Yun Xiangye smiled gently, but the simple Nuonuo probably didn't know what this meant yet.
But Yun Xiangye thought that she would definitely make it up to Nuonuo. As for Nuonuo's identity... she was a princess conferred in black and white by His Majesty.
If Nuonuo really reaches the age of marriage, she is Gu Yan's blood after all, and can find a good husband.
Moreover, having experienced this marriage herself, Yun Xiangye would rather Nuonuo marry a son-in-law in the future.
After all, she didn't plan to have another child after returning to Jiangnan.
Nuonuo is the only bloodline of the Yun family, so it is fine to marry her in or find a better husband to keep the son while the father is gone.
Gu Yan's footsteps were heard outside the door. Yun Xiangye adjusted her mood. There was only one month left, so she decided to spend some quiet time with Gu Yan...
After all, she and Gu Yan were just not suitable for each other.
If you really think about it, Gu Yan is young, handsome, and successful in his career. He won't take a concubine, nor will he really use his status as a husband to pressure her...
Yun Xiangye couldn't help but shake her head. No matter how good Gu Yan was, he didn't care about her in his heart, and they were not suitable for each other.
Gu Yan pushed the door open and walked in. Seeing Nuonuo in Yun Xiangye's arms, he said, "There's a flower festival this afternoon. You've never seen the flower parade in Chang'an, have you? It's almost back from circling the city. Shall we go and watch the flower fairies parade?"
Yun Xiangye looked up at Gu Yan and said, "I won't go. You take Nuonuo with you."
Gu Yan lifted Nuonuo from Yun Xiangye's arms, looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Are you still upset that Sister He can't marry into the Eastern Palace as a daughter of the Ye family?"
Gu Yan put Nuonuo down and sat down next to Yun Xiangye. He held her in his arms and whispered in her ear in an almost inaudible voice, "What's there to be upset about? If His Highness is a hundred years old, and your child inherits the throne, and he can confer the title of Earl of Cheng'en on your maternal grandfather, then it won't be that difficult for you to return to your roots."
After hearing what Gu Yan said, Yun Xiangye asked, "How long will it take?"
Gu Yan smiled and said, "No matter how long you wait, this day will come eventually. Come on, I'll take you to the street to watch the Hundred Flowers Parade."
Yun Xiangye said, "No, I'm tired."
Gu Yan said: "Okay, I will accompany you to rest."
