Chapter 161: There is no need to sever ties



Yun Xiangye wiped her lips with the back of her hand and frowned, "You are an official appointed by the court after all. How dare you tease a decent woman like this?"

Gu Yan said: "I just don't want to hear any unpleasant words from you."

"Even after the divorce, you can't talk to me calmly? You previously blamed me for not caring about you, for lying about my identity and deceiving you. Now we can start getting along again..."

Yun Xiangye asked, "What do you mean by starting over? Can the deception I suffered previously be put to rest simply by getting a divorce?"

Gu Yan said, "I truly admit my mistake. I also know that I indeed neglected your feelings, but I have never cared about other people's feelings... Even the feelings of His Majesty and His Highness, I have never cared so much."

Yun Xiangye snorted, "What do you mean? You even cared about Wei Xi's feelings and her reputation being damaged."

"I didn't care about Wei Xi at all." Gu Yan stared into Yun Xiangye's eyes and said, "I cared about you. I was afraid that if you offended Wei Xi, I would be unable to protect you. After all, she is the Queen's niece."

Gu Yan said, "Xiangye, I indeed neglected your situation when you first arrived in Chang'an. I never thought that you would end up getting divorced because of this matter.

You said I didn't love you, you said I only had to marry you because of the good fortune, but now we're divorced, I no longer have to marry you. Instead, I sincerely want you to be my wife again."

Gu Yan remembered what his mother had said to him yesterday and added, "My desire to marry you again has nothing to do with Nuonuo. It's not because I want Nuonuo to have both her parents."

Gu Yan held Yun Xiangye's hand and said, "It is I who want to marry you and live a loving life with you until old age."

Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand.

Gu Yan once again tightly grasped her wrist and said, "Xiangye, considering that I saved you once again... please give me another chance. Let's both calmly put aside the past grudges and start anew, okay?"

Yun Xiangye struggled to free herself from Gu Yan's wrist, "Not good."

Gu Yan said: "I will prove that I love you, not that I don't care about you as you said. After returning to Chang'an, I just joined the Censorate and was busy with official duties. I didn't spend much time with you, so you suffered a lot of grievances and were misunderstood by others.

I will spend more time with you in the future. Even if you don't want to start over, give me a chance to pursue you again, okay?"

Yun Xiangye said, "I only know that you and I have divorced. There's no need to linger on, nor is there any need to spend more time together."

Gu Yan felt helpless. Yun Xiangye was truly unmoved. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Don't you have any feelings for me at all? You said I don't love you, but what about you? Have you ever truly loved me? We've been married for three years, and you're getting a divorce over such a small matter..."

"It's a small matter?" Yun Xiangye said, "We've been married for three years, and you've been hiding things and deceiving us from the very beginning!"

Gu Yan said, "I didn't lie to you. Renyuan Pharmacy is Princess Sheng Zhao's property. Everyone in Chang'an knows about it. You didn't even bother to inquire about my background. Can I also say that you don't care about me?"

Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan in front of her and took a deep breath.

Gu Yan said: "I never deliberately concealed it from you from the beginning. Since you didn't ask me, I didn't lie to you."

Yun Xiangye: "Gu Yan, you are simply unreasonable. How could I have imagined that my husband is the son of a princess and a prime minister?"

Gu Yan said, "If you had paid any attention to me, you would have found out my identity. You didn't send anyone to Chang'an to investigate, so you didn't pay any attention to me either."

Yun Xiangye recalled the past when Gu Yan's uncle and aunt, now the Prince of Xiang and Princess of Xiang, came to her and asked her to bring good luck. Considering the grace of Gu Yan saving her life, Yun Xiangye really couldn't repay kindness with evil.

At that time, Princess Xiang only said that Gu Yan was the eldest son of the owner of Renyuan Pharmacy and came to Jiangnan for recuperation.

Renyuan Pharmacy has many businesses in Jiangnan and is a century-old store.

Yun Xiangye never doubted Gu Yan's family background. After the marriage, her uncle suggested that they send someone to Chang'an to investigate. After all, Gu Yan was already eighteen years old when they got married. She wondered if he could get married in Chang'an.

But at that time, Yun Xiangye had already found out that Nuonuo was pregnant, so he did not go to Chang'an to investigate.

After all, sending people to Chang'an to investigate would take at least half a year to go back and forth.

Renyuan Pharmacy is open all over Jiangnan. They just think that Gu Yan's identity as the young master of Renyuan Pharmacy is not fake after all, but they did not expect that he is the young master of Renyuan Pharmacy, but he has another identity that is hidden.

Yun Xiangye became even more angry after listening to Gu Yan's words: "What do you mean by 'I'm not attentive to you'? I trust you, my husband, and you say I'm not attentive enough to you?"

Gu Yan: “…”

Yun Xiangye said angrily, "Get out of the way. I have to go back so that Run'er and the others won't worry."

Gu Yan let go of Yun Xiangye's hand. "I haven't committed any murder. You have to give me a chance to reform. I haven't committed any heinous crime. You've beaten me, punished me, and divorced me. Do you think you're going to keep quarreling with me like before?"

Yun Xiangye ignored Gu Yan and just tried to identify the direction. Once she found the direction of the farm, she started walking.

Gu Yan blew a whistle, and his big chestnut horse came running over.

Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Get on your horses. This place is about six or seven miles away from the farm. If you walk there, it will take you half an hour."

Yun Xiangye looked up at Gu Yan and got on the maroon horse. She didn't want to make others worry too much.
