Yun Xiangye entered Lin Boyan's study, which was full of paintings, some of which were signed by Gu Yan.
Lin Bolan brought over a painting of red plum blossoms and said, "I'd like to trouble the Crown Princess to give me some pointers on this painting."
Xiao Nuonuo saw the red plum blossom picture and pointed at her hand and said, "Huahua."
Yun Xiangye didn't know much about painting, but she did run an embroidery workshop, so she could tell that the pattern was extremely beautiful. She wondered how beautiful it would look if the painting were copied onto clothes.
Yunxiang Ye Wen asked Lin Bolan, "Junior sister, are you selling this painting?"
"Ah?" Lin Bolan looked at Yun Xiangye in confusion.
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "You should also know that my family runs an embroidery workshop. I also plan to open an embroidery workshop in Chang'an City. There are many excellent embroidery workshops in Chang'an City. My embroidery workshop must be unique. Therefore, I plan to embroider your red plum blossoms in the snow on my shirt and skirt..."
Mrs. Lin said from the side: "It is an honor for my Bo Lan that her paintings have caught your eye. You don't have to buy them, just take them directly."
Lin Bolan bit her lower lip and said, "Yeah, just take it."
Yun Xiangye looked at Lin Bolan meaningfully and said, "I'm so embarrassed. I'm not so shameless as to covet other people's things, nor would I take away other people's hard work without spending a penny..."
Lin Bolan frowned and said, "Princess, since you came to my house, I have been extremely respectful to you. What do you mean by this? You are slandering me with indirect accusations."
"Lan'er!" Mrs. Lin scolded Lin Bolan angrily.
Yun Xiangye said, "Junior sister, please don't misunderstand me. I'm just saying that I can't do such a shameless thing as stealing someone's things."
Lin Bolan said to Yun Xiangye, "I didn't compete with you for Senior Brother Gu."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly, "I didn't say you were stealing it, so why do you have to take it so seriously, Junior Sister?"
Lin Bolan saw his mother pulling at his clothes.
Lin Bolan frowned and said, "Mother, it was Yun Xiangye who came to my house to cause trouble earlier. She is really as jealous and petty as the rumors say.
"Yun Xiangye, I have no grudges against you in the past or present. If you care about me asking my senior brother for advice on my painting, I will not do that in the future. Do you have to criticize me in such a veiled way? And this is in front of the children."
Yun Xiangye laughed in anger, "No grudges in the past? When we first met at Chu Jing Pavilion, why did you say I had wronged Gu Yan?"
Madam Lin frowned and looked directly at Lin Bolan, "Lan'er, did you really say that?"
Lin Bolan whispered, "That's right! Senior Brother is superior to Yun Xiangye in every way, whether in family background, character, or appearance. I wasn't wrong. I never wanted to compete with her for Senior Brother. I was just standing up for him, and she came here and criticized me."
Yun Xiangye said, "It's true that I can't compare to Gu Yan in terms of background or appearance, but if you're talking about character, how could I have ever wronged Gu Yan?"
Yun Xiangye handed Nuonuo to Run'er and asked Run'er to take Nuonuo out to play.
Yun Xiangye looked at Lin Bolan and said, "Gu Yan can't tell right from wrong, good from evil, indulges his slaves, treats his wife poorly, and has lied to me about my identity for three years. With his character, how could I treat him unfairly? I feel wronged."
Madam Lin said, "Yan'er... wouldn't be so serious, right?"
Yun Xiangye twisted her thigh in the dark and pretended to cry, "Master's wife, although this is our first meeting today, I think of my mother when I see you. Since you are Gu Yan's master's wife, I am no longer afraid of letting the family scandal get out in public. When I married Gu Yan, I didn't know he was the Prince of Ning. I only found out when I came to Chang'an.
"Wei Xi and his maidservants were always trying to get him to divorce his wife and take her as a concubine, but he didn't believe me and wouldn't let me say anything bad about Wei Xi. He was partial to Wei Xi and his maidservants. Luckily, my mother-in-law was sensible and helped me drive those four maidservants away. He deceived his wife and was so heartless. What right do you have to say that my character is not as good as Gu Yan's?"
Lin Bolan was surprised and asked, "How could Senior Brother be such a person?"
Yun Xiangye wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "He and I are husband and wife. How can I falsely accuse him? You can go ask him."
Seeing Yun Xiangye's tears, Lin Bolan felt very guilty and said, "I'm sorry, Princess. I really didn't know that Senior Brother was so unbearable. It's New Year's Day, please don't cry."
Yun Xiangye said, "You said I wronged Gu Yan. When he was dying, I didn't care if I would become a widow and I went to celebrate for him. How could I have wronged him?"
Lin Bolan felt guilty, "I was wrong."
Yun Xiangye said, "If Gu Yan had been willing, I would have divorced him long ago. I don't want to be wronged by this. I don't want to divorce him unless he feels wronged. Junior Sister, you always think that I am wronging your senior brother."
Lin Bolan said, "I really deserve to die, sister, please don't be upset, I know I was wrong. It's true that you can only judge a person by his appearance but not by his heart. Senior Brother looks so elegant and polite on the surface, but I didn't expect that he would let you suffer so much in private."
Madam Lin patted Yun Xiangye's shoulder and said, "Princess, every family has its own problems. Women face difficulties everywhere after marriage. My daughter Bo Lan is nineteen years old and still unengaged. Everyone says that we are still waiting for the prince to return, but that is not true.
My son Bo Lan has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since childhood, and would not covet the married prince.
But I know how sad it is for a daughter-in-law to go to her husband's home, and I want to find a very good husband for Bo Lan so that she won't suffer in her husband's home. I haven't found a suitable one yet, so I have been delaying the marriage. "
After listening to Mrs. Lin's special explanation, Yun Xiangye believed it.
Yun Xiangye stood up and said with a smile, "It is really presumptuous of me to come to your Lin Mansion today, and I shouldn't cry in your house. However, I was previously looked down upon and misunderstood by Junior Sister Lin as someone who had wronged Gu Yan. I couldn't bear the anger in my heart, so I came to your mansion to vent my anger.
