Yun Xiangye snorted softly and said, "Hit you? My hands are still hurting."
It's really ridiculous that Gu Yan only realized where he was wrong today and came to sincerely admit his mistake. She had suffered so much injustice before, how could it be compensated by beating him up?
Gu Yan gently wiped the tears from Yun Xiangye's eyes and said, "Stop crying."
Yun Xiangye looked at Gu Yan and said, "My hands hurt when I hit you, but if you hit yourself, my hands won't hurt."
Gu Yan: "If I beat myself, will you come back to the Princess's Mansion with me? It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival."
Yun Xiangye said, "Why should I go back to the Princess's Mansion with you? Life without marriage is very comfortable. I don't have to face the faces of those who say I'm not worthy of you."
Gu Yan said, "I will make Zhao Rui come and kneel before you tomorrow."
Yun Xiangye said, "Is it Zhao Rui's fault? It's clearly your fault. You don't care about me enough, which is why the people around you bully me time and time again. Back in Jiangnan, did anyone around me ever say that you were not worthy of me?"
Gu Yan said, "No? The Xu family's tofu sellers at the street corner looked down on me because I was from outside and couldn't speak your Yongxing dialect. They thought it was a pity for such a good girl like you to marry someone from outside the area like me.
And your relatives from the Yun family, your cousins, your sisters-in-law, have told you more than once that you married a merchant from outside the city, and they keep looking down on me because I'm not from Yongxing City."
Yun Xiangye took a deep breath. "How dare you say that? You know my cousins all look down on you for being from another place, but you never mentioned that you were the Prince of Ning. And you just watched me get laughed at by my cousins and aunts for marrying a man from another place?"
Gu Yan: “…”
Seeing the tears in Yun Xiangye's eyes, Gu Yan hurriedly said, "I'm sorry."
Yun Xiangye said, "I didn't despise you for being a foreigner. I married you because you saved my life. Even though I suffered all the ridicule from my aunt and cousin, I still protected you everywhere in Yongxing City. You didn't understand the Yongxing dialect, but I didn't force you to learn it. I spoke Mandarin to you. What about you?"
"I'm sorry." Gu Yan admitted his mistake in a low voice, "It's all my fault."
Yun Xiangye wiped her tears and said, "So I won't go back to the Princess's Mansion with you."
Gu Yan was not in a hurry to ask Yun Xiangye to accompany him back to the Princess's Mansion. He just held her hand and said, "Okay, if you don't want to go back, then don't go back."
The carriage arrived at Ye's house on West Street.
Yun Xiangye told Ye Yuan's aunt that Wei Xi would come to apologize.
Aunt Ye was slightly surprised and asked, "How could Wei Xi agree to come and apologize?"
Yun Xiangye nodded and said, "Well, it's not up to Wei Xi to refuse. She was unreasonable in the first place. When she comes to kowtow and apologize to you two, you can just sit back and accept it.
As soon as Yun Xiangye finished speaking, the doorman hurried in and said, "Master, Madam, there's a girl outside who claims to be the Prince of Chu's consort and wants to come in."
Yun Xiangye said, "She came quickly, let her in."
When Wei Xi arrived, her face was filled with resentment. Seeing Yun Xiangye there, she had no choice but to say, "Shopkeeper Ye, Madam Shopkeeper Ye, I shouldn't have hired someone to smash up your shop. This is my apology. I hope you can forgive me."
Wei Yu gestured to the maid to come forward and hand over a stack of banknotes.
Ye Yuan and Aunt Ye looked at each other.
Yun Xiangye looked at Wei Xi and smiled faintly, "Wei Xi, why don't you kneel down and apologize?"
Wei Yu glared at Yun Xiangye fiercely, but a shrill eunuch's voice came from behind her: "Prince Consort of Chu, kneel down quickly and kowtow to admit your fault. Then we can go back and report to the Crown Princess."
Yun Xiangye then discovered that there were two eunuchs among the group of people brought by Wei Xi. No wonder Wei Xi came to apologize so quickly.
Wei Yu knelt down in front of Ye Yuan and Aunt Ye, and said in a weak voice, "I was wrong..."
Yun Xiangye said, "What? I didn't hear clearly."
Wei Yu glared at Yun Xiangye and said in a slightly louder voice, "I was wrong..."
Yun Xiangye smiled faintly, "Then kowtow to my uncle and aunt."
Wei Xi looked at the two people in front of her with vicious eyes. They hoped they would be lucky enough to withstand the kneeling and kowtowing of her, a royal daughter-in-law.
Wei Yu kowtowed heavily on the ground.
Aunt Ye said in a gentle tone, "Get up."
After Wei Yu stood up, he looked at the two eunuchs behind him and asked, "How is it?"
One of the eunuchs chuckled and said, "Then I will return to the East Palace to report to the two princes. The Crown Prince of Chu's wife should also return to the Prince of Chu's residence as soon as possible."
Wei Yu looked around and said, "This place is so poor and shabby, I won't stay here for long."
After saying this, Wei Yu went out and left.
Aunt Ye looked at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, are we seriously offending the Chu Palace and the Wei family?"
Yun Xiangye chuckled and said, "Aunt, although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to sever ties with you, after all, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. It was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's idea that Cousin Ye Li enter the Wanliu Academy."
Gu Yan nodded and said, "Well, uncle and aunt, don't worry. The Wei family and the Chu Palace don't have the guts to deal with you again."
Aunt Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you very much."
Gu Yan smiled faintly and said, "As a family, there's no need to say a word of thanks."
Yun Xiangye frowned and looked at Gu Yan and asked, "Who is your family?"
Ye Yuan glanced at Yun Xiangye and said, "Xiangye, how can you speak to Gu Yan like that?"
Yun Xiangye said, "Why can't we talk like this? We are not family anymore."
Aunt Ye persuaded Yun Xiangye, "After all, he is Nuonuo's father."
