Gu Yan wanted to refute, but was stunned for a moment, because he couldn't refute Yun Xiangye's words. Even he himself began to doubt his love for Yun Xiangye...
Gu Yan had witnessed his grandfather's love and devotion to his grandmother since childhood, his father's possessiveness towards his mother, his uncle the Emperor's willingness to have only one empress in the six harems for his aunt's sake, his uncle from the Xie family's willingly enduring the ridicule of his colleagues for his aunt's sake, and his grandfather's willingness to give up the throne for his grandmother...
In Gu Yan's opinion, as a husband, he must treat his wife well and be devoted to her.
Gu Yan had always believed that this was love. When they were in Jiangnan, their lives were peaceful and harmonious. Newlyweds, having just experienced sex, Gu Yan thought he loved Yun Xiangye, especially at night...
After having Nuonuo, the couple became even sweeter and sweeter. Gu Yan thought that was the love between husband and wife.
But Gu Yan was also a little confused at this moment. What if it was not Yun Xiangye who brought him happiness? What if it was another woman? Would he also develop "love" for her because she was his wife?
Gu Yan himself was doubting whether he really loved Yun Xiangye.
Seeing Gu Yan's silence, Yun Xiangye said, "The fact that you can even think about this proves that you don't love me. After my sister's wedding, we'll divorce. You can go find another woman you truly love."
Gu Yan pulled Yun Xiangye into his arms and said, "No, I won't divorce you. Xiangye, what you said is totally wrong. You said that I only like my wife, but now you are my wife. It's not any other woman, it's you!"
Yun Xiangye struggled to break free from Gu Yan's embrace and said, "You never truly loved me. You might as well let me go. There's nothing wrong with being siblings. This way, you and I won't be cut off from each other forever. Nuonuo will still have a father and mother, and after the divorce, Nuonuo won't have to be the daughter of only one person. If one day I bring Nuonuo back to Jiangnan, I will bring her back to Chang'an every three years so that she can see her mother... and you..."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "If you don't love me, why not just let Nuonuo and I go and find a woman you truly love."
Gu Yan frowned tightly, "Yun Xiangye, what you said is just nonsense."
"Is what I said a twisted logic..." Yun Xiangye pointed her finger at Gu Yan's heart, "You understand this better than I do."
Yun Xiangye said, "Think about it carefully. I'm going back to my room first."
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye's departing back and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He didn't chase after her.
Yun Xiangye returned to the house. She dismissed all the maids and asked Run'er to leave.
She lay alone on the bed, crying silently. She had been sincere in the past three years.
It was not until she came to Chang'an that she gradually understood that the love between husband and wife for the past three years was only because she was Gu Yan's wife. That was why Gu Yan was so self-righteous and loved her on the surface, but in fact he did not care about her at all.
For example, he thought that giving her the high and mighty position of Prince Ning's Consort was enough to show his love for her, but he did not take her situation to heart.
Gu Yan's love is simple and can be given to any woman. No matter who the woman who brought good luck to Gu Yan that day was, he would treat her the same way, so he would not care about his embarrassing situation.
Yun Xiangye wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, thinking that this was the last time she would cry for Gu Yan.
My husband in Jiangnan is gone.
Today, Gu Yan is the Prince of Ning.
Yun Xiangye thought it was not that difficult for her to let go. After all, Gu Yan was not a bad person.
Gu Yan saved me, and now I am even with what I owe him.
Yun Xiangye sincerely hoped that Gu Yan would meet the girl he truly loved. When he did, he would understand why she was so determined to get a divorce...
As for myself, I have given up hope. I just want to raise Nuonuo and carry forward the Five Colors Embroidery Workshop.
Yun Xiangye fell asleep as she was thinking.
Early in the morning, when Yun Xiangye was still asleep, she was awakened by Yin Liu.
"Princess, someone from the East Palace is calling you to come to the East Palace."
Yun Xiangye was afraid that something might happen to Sister He, so she hurriedly got up and washed up in a hurry. She didn't even comb her hair, but just quickly tied it up with a hairpin before going to the East Palace.
Yun Xiangye entered the East Palace and was taken to the bedroom.
When Yun Xiangye entered, she saw Ye Wanhe, who had gotten up early, pruning the peach blossoms in a porcelain vase.
"Sister He."
Seeing Yun Xiangye approaching, Ye Wanhe chuckled and asked, "Why are you in the East Palace?"
Yun Xiangye said, "His Highness sent someone to invite me here."
Ye Wanhe couldn't help but frown, "Does he want you to threaten me again..."
Yun Xiangye said, "Sister, you don't have to be threatened because of me. After all, I am still the eldest princess' daughter-in-law."
"Now still...what do you mean? Do you still want to divorce Prince Ning?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Well, after you marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will divorce Gu Yan."
Ye Wanhe said: "Perhaps, I will never have a grand wedding day. I don't want to abandon my parents, and I can't abandon them for the position of Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye whispered, "But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
Ye Wanhe cut off the branches of the peach blossoms in the porcelain vase and said, "I am not even afraid of death now. The worst possible outcome is just death."
Ye Wanhe looked at Yun Xiangye meaningfully. Yun Xiangye understood what Ye Wanhe meant and smiled softly, "Yes, sister."
Yun Xiangye didn't know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked her to come to the palace, but it would be great to be able to chat with her sister and reminisce about the past. After all, she knew very few people in Chang'an City.
