Thinking about it, she suddenly sobbed, then burst into loud sobs, "Your Highness, you...you're so cruel! You might as well divorce me..."
Her tears came suddenly, streams of tears flowing from her eyes, her shoulders trembling as she cried, looking utterly pitiful.
The servants in the West Garden all pricked up their ears to listen.
The princess was crying so hard. What did the prince do to her?
Gu Linchao: "..."
"Back in that dilapidated temple, who promised to treat me well and protect me for life?"
Gu Linchao's temple throbbed.
"It hasn't been long, and the prince has already forgotten everything and turned his back on us."
Gu Linchao: "..."
"Your Highness, how cruel you are... Ugh!"
The sound stopped abruptly.
Wen Nongnong's eyes widened as she looked at the man's handsome face, which suddenly loomed large.
Ah, this...
Gu Linchao was disturbed by her crying and talking, and just wanted to shut her up, so he did it subconsciously.
At this moment, feeling uncomfortable under her wide gaze, he quickly pushed her away and turned his back to her.
The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.
Wen Nongnong came to her senses, raised her hand to touch her lips, and looked at the man's tall back. Just as she was about to speak, he said first, "I never thought of divorcing you. Don't think nonsense anymore."
"But when we were in the pavilion, didn't you say I had committed the crime of talking too much, one of the seven grounds for divorce? Didn't you think I talked too much and wanted to divorce me?" Wen Nongnong said in a sad tone.
Gu Linchao rubbed his temples and turned around. "I just wanted to warn you to be careful with your words and actions in the future, and not to talk nonsense anymore." Besides, was it her problem that she talked too much? "From now on, you are not allowed to speak ill of me to others."
Seeing that he kept repeating the same thing about not being able to do it, Wen Nongnong took a handkerchief, pretended to wipe away her tears, and then sighed, "Doesn't Your Highness know what kind of person I am? You should understand why I said those things to my sister-in-law."
Gu Linchao was taken aback.
Wen Nongnong continued, "It's all because of my uncle's big mouth. He let it slip in front of my sister-in-law that we...we...haven't consummated our marriage yet. My sister-in-law was very shocked when she heard that. I was worried that she would tell her family and make them worry about me for no reason. In my haste, I made up that excuse."
As she spoke, she said with great remorse, "It is indeed my fault that Your Highness's reputation has been damaged, so if Your Highness wishes to divorce me, I will have no complaints."
Gu Linchao was quite displeased by her constant mentions of divorcing him. However, the two had indeed not yet consummated their marriage…
He couldn't help but think of what the Empress Dowager had said yesterday.
He pursed his lips, softened his voice, and said, "I will not divorce you. I said I would protect you for the rest of my life."
"Oh." Wen Nongnong lowered her head.
Gu Linchao frowned. Why did she seem a little disappointed?
What's disappointing?
Disappointed that he didn't divorce her?
Thinking of this, a chill settled between Gu Linchao's brows. He opened his lips as if to say something, but in the end, he said nothing, only uttering a curt, "Stay here and be back later." With that, he left.
Wen Nongnong sighed, turned around and sat down on the steps.
The whole performance was for nothing; Gu Linchao still intends to confine her here.
She sat there for a while, resting her chin on her hand. Then, as if remembering something, she beckoned a servant and said, "Go to Chenxiang Courtyard and call over my maid, Lüqiao, and my cook."
