Gu Yan grabbed Yun Xiangye's wrist and said, "I've told you that my grandmother hated men taking concubines the most. If I dare to take a concubine, my mother will be the first one to not forgive me."
Yun Xiangye became even more angry after hearing what Gu Yan said.
Gu Yan didn't take a concubine not because of her, but because his elders wouldn't forgive him?
Gu Yanyun continued to explain, "I really didn't know Wei Xi would have such thoughts. I didn't let you say anything bad about Wei Xi because I was afraid you would offend the Wei family. After all, Wei Xi is the Queen's niece."
Yun Xiangye shook off Gu Yan's hand and said, "Then should I thank you for thinking of me?"
Gu Yan reached out and pulled Yun Xiangye into his arms, saying softly, "I'm sorry, Xiangye. Chang'an has indeed suffered a lot of injustice. I am sorry for you."
Yun Xiangye listened to Gu Yan's repeated apologies and finally shed tears in his arms: "You are the one who has wronged me the most. You said I was unreasonable and that I quarreled with you every day, but it was clearly me who was wronged. Instead, you said that only women and villains are difficult to raise.
I came all the way to Chang'an with you just to live a good life here, but you were so good. First you hid your identity from me, and then one after another, some noble lady from Chang'an came and said that I was not worthy of you..."
Gu Yan took Yun Xiangye into his arms, listened to her sobbing accusations, and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Yun Xiangye said with great grievance, "It's not like I don't have relatives in Jiangnan. When we got married, your aunt and uncle both said that if you get married and recover from your illness, it doesn't matter if I don't want to go back to Chang'an with you.
I gave up everything in the south of the Yangtze River, left my hometown where I had lived for twenty-three years, and followed you to a completely unfamiliar place. I originally thought that you were just the son of a wealthy businessman. I also thought that although your family is richer than mine, you are still merchants after all. But you waited until I came to Chang'an to tell me that you are not a merchant, but the son of the eldest princess. Do you know how difficult it is for me to adapt to all this?
I have never been looked down upon in the past twenty-three years, but now that I have come to Chang'an City, even the four maids who used to be by your side can bully me at will!"
Gu Yan felt guilty and whispered again: "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Yun Xiangye burst into tears and said, "You've made me suffer so much injustice, and I won't forgive you easily just by saying a few words of apology..."
Gu Yan whispered in Yun Xiangye's ear, "After the New Year, I'll help you get the fake death medicine. Can you forgive me?"
Yun Xiangye leaned in Gu Yan's arms and said, "This is what you promised me."
Gu Yan touched Yun Xiangye's head and said, "Then what do you want me to do? Will you forgive me?"
Yun Xiangye whispered in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "After my sister fakes her death, I will return to Jiangnan with her coffin."
"Impossible!" Gu Yan frowned.
Yun Xiangye shed tears and said, "It's not like I'll stop coming to Chang'an after going to Jiangnan..."
"If you really want to go back to Jiangnan, you have to leave Nuonuo behind."
Yun Xiangye pursed her lips after hearing what Gu Yan said. It turned out that what Gu Yan cared about most was Nuonuo...
However, Yun Xiangye was happy for Nuonuo. After all, for Nuonuo, in her parents' hearts, Nuonuo was the first.
Gu Yan said: "As long as Nuonuo stays in Chang'an, I won't be afraid that you won't come back."
"How could I not come back?" Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan, "If I don't come back, you can tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the truth."
Gu Yan snorted, "You think I don't know what you're thinking? This is a crime of deceiving the emperor. How dare I tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince the truth?"
Yun Xiangye said, "I just want to go back home. My sister has been in the palace for many years. How can I feel at ease if she goes back to Jiangnan alone? I will really go back to Chang'an. Nuonuo can't leave me for such a long time. I have to take Nuonuo back to Jiangnan with me."
"If you're worried, get a few people to follow me. If I don't want to go back to Chang'an, you can have your people take me back to Chang'an."
Gu Yanwei frowned and said, "We'll discuss this matter later."
Yun Xiangye wiped away her tears with the back of her hand.
Seeing Yun Xiangye crying out of grievance again, Gu Yan hugged her tightly in his arms.
Gu Yan really didn't expect that Wei Xi would have such a disgusting mind. Divorcing his wife and taking her as a concubine would be something that only a heartless person could do.
Yun Xiangye was in Gu Yan's arms, wiping away tears of grievance with the back of her hand, when she heard the voices of Wei Xi and the wife of Duke Weiguo coming from not far away.
"mother!"
"What a good old lady from the Gu family! How nice! As the wife of the emperor's brother-in-law, I came to pay her New Year's greetings, and she actually drove us away! It's no wonder that the Gu family's hospitality has raised a son who has no moral principles!"
Wei Xi hurriedly said, "Mother, we're still in the Princess's residence. How can you say that? Are you trying to kill me?"
The wife of the Duke of Wei said, "They can do this, so why should they be afraid of what others say? The Gu family has allowed themselves to be degraded and marry a daughter-in-law of such low birth that it makes people laugh. We should cut off this relationship in the future, so that even our Wei family will not be tainted by the stench of money from this merchant family."
Wei Xi frowned and said, "Mother, how can I meet Cousin Yan in the future if you say that?"
The wife of the Duke of Weiguo said angrily, "Gu Yan is also blind and heartless. You should show me some of the demeanor that the Queen's niece should have. Gu Yan is willing to be humble and marry a small town merchant girl. You should stop being so stupid.
The Crown Princess will be entering the palace in April. After she enters, the palace may choose a concubine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. You are His Royal Highness's cousin, and the Empress is your aunt. If you enter the Eastern Palace, even as a concubine, you will be more honorable than the Crown Princess.
