Gu Yan stood in front of the door, blocking Yun Xiangye's way: "Where did I say that mothers are difficult to raise?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Don't think that because I spoke softly just now, I didn't hear you clearly saying that only women and villains are difficult to raise."
Gu Yan took a deep breath and said, "I was wrong. You can beat me or scold me if you want. It's already night time, so don't bother Mother. It will only make her angry and hurt her health."
Yun Xiangye sneered, "So you also know that getting angry can be harmful to your health. Why weren't you afraid that I might get angry and hurt myself when you scolded me just now?"
Gu Yan did not argue with Yun Xiangye. After all, he was indeed in the wrong. He just murmured softly, "I was wrong."
Yun Xiangye snorted as she listened to Gu Yan's insincere admission of his mistake. His admission was light and effortless.
Yun Xiangye naturally would not go to the princess to complain at night like a child. She walked to a box nearby, took out a rosewood abacus, and threw it in front of Gu Yan.
"If you truly acknowledge your mistake, kneel on this abacus... for half an hour!"
Gu Yan first looked at the yellow rosewood on the ground, then frowned and glanced at Yun Xiangye with a sharp gaze: "Yun Xiangye, my indulgence in you time and time again does not mean you can push your luck and get ahead of me."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Will you kneel or not?"
Gu Yan frowned and said, "A man's knees are made of gold. He should kneel before heaven, earth, and his king and parents. How can he kneel before his wife? Since arriving in Chang'an, you have become even more unreasonable."
There were tears in Yun Xiangye's eyes. Who was being unreasonable?
She has never left Jiangnan for twenty-three years since she was born. Although she has no parents, she still has relatives, sisters and friends in Yongxing City.
She abandoned the embroidery workshop left by her parents, left her younger sister behind, said goodbye to her best friend, and came to Chang'an, a city she was unfamiliar with, only to be met with the word "unreasonable".
Yun Xiangye came to Chang'an with the intention of living a good life with Gu Yan, but these past few days she was ridiculed by her maid, despised by her cousin, and even received an unreasonable remark from Gu Yan.
Seeing Yun Xiangye's tears, Gu Yan frowned slightly, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to wipe Yun Xiangye's tears, but Yun Xiangye dodged to the side.
Yun Xiangye shed tears silently, her eyes filled with deep hatred towards Gu Yan.
She shouldn't have married a man from another place in the first place. She traveled thousands of miles to marry him, but ended up with this result.
Seeing this, Gu Yan said, "Only kneel for half an hour, right? After kneeling for half an hour, you are not allowed to make trouble again by saying that I lied to you about my identity for three years."
Yun Xiangye said nothing, but just shed tears silently.
Gu Yan sighed helplessly, went over to lock the door to make sure no one could get in, then knelt on one knee on the abacus, the abacus beads scratching him painfully.
Gu Yan said in a cold voice, "Stop crying! After you kneel down, don't make a fuss! I won't indulge you anymore."
Yun Xiangye waited for Gu Yan to kneel for half a minute before wiping her tears. She looked down at Gu Yan and said slowly, "I made you kneel down and admit your mistake this time because you scolded me for being a woman and a villain. It's not that easy for me to forgive you for deceiving me for three years."
What's more, Gu Yan didn't kneel sincerely, he just knelt on one knee.
Gu Yan raised his eyes, stood up, reached out and grabbed Yun Xiangye's wrist, pulling her into his arms.
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye, tears still streaming down her face, and said, "You can't just keep finding fault with me. Besides, it wasn't a big mistake. I just didn't tell you about my family background. You've been making a fuss for three days."
Yun Xiangye looked into Gu Yan's eyes and thought that this was not a big mistake.
If she didn't care about Gu Yan at all, she should be happy that she had gone from being an ordinary citizen to the daughter-in-law of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
Even though Zhu Yi's four maids and Wei Xi said that she would be demoted to a concubine, even if she became Gu Yan's concubine, she was still the one who had risen to the top.
But she cared about Gu Yan, so she became more and more angry in the past three days.
Angry that he had no self in his heart, Angry that he didn't consider her situation at all, Angry that he didn't even consider her as his wife, Angry that he misunderstood me and defended his cousin...
She couldn't tell Gu Yan about this grievance, because Gu Yan didn't have her in his heart. If she told him, Gu Yan would be proud, but she would become a laughing stock.
Yun Xiangye wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, pushed Gu Yan away and returned to the bed.
Yun Xiangye thought that if it weren't for Nuonuo, she would not be willing to stay with Gu Yan so sad and angry.
Since Gu Yan doesn't have her in his heart, why should she care about him?
Gu Yan looked at Yun Xiangye who had her back to him, sighed softly, and hugged her from behind.
The next day, when Yun Xiangye woke up, Gu Yan was no longer by her side.
Not long after Yun Xiangye stood up, she heard Nuonuo crying.
I think it was because when she woke up she saw Nanny Cao, and Nuonuo was in a bad mood.
Yun Xiangye hurriedly opened the door and held Nuonuo in his arms. Looking at the little face that was somewhat similar to Gu Yan, Yun Xiangye coaxed Nuonuo for a while, and after washing up, he went to Linlang Restaurant.
The waiter and the accountant in the restaurant were replaced by different people.
Yun Xiangye handed the new menu prepared in the mansion to the accountant. The chef in Linlang Restaurant had good cooking skills, but he didn't have any signature dishes. Yun Xiangye could only use a method that was inexpensive and good quality.
Food is the most important thing for people. Yun Xiangye thinks that when opening a restaurant, the most important thing is the dishes, followed by the quantity. It is not enough to have a large quantity of dishes but not taste good, but it is not enough to have a small quantity of dishes but taste good. Both are required.
After Yun Xiangye agreed on the amount of food with the chef, she had lunch and returned to the princess's mansion.
Soon after returning to Qingfeng Garden, Yun Xiangye accompanied Nuonuo for a nap. After Nuonuo fell asleep, Yun Xiangye heard Run'er whisper, "Young lady, the nanny accompanying Her Highness the Princess wants you to accompany Her Highness to the palace."
