The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

"What they think, whether they care about your pain, what does it have to do with you?" Qi Zhiyu said casually.

"Isn't what you all want to do to get rid of the Duke of Wei's mansion, then make them regret it and take revenge on them severely?"

What do other people's opinions mean to you?

"Can I give you money, or can I change your lives?"

Jiang Lanqing was completely stunned.

Qi Jingxi patted his shoulder with a sigh.

His sister's thinking is not something everyone can understand immediately.

His sister has such a clear understanding of life.

"So, I think the evidence and witnesses you presented had no objections; it's concrete evidence, and everyone can find reasons to refute it. But what I imagine is different," Qi Zhiyu laughed.

"You say nothing, but let others know that you are born out of wedlock but you insist on getting rid of the big tree of the Duke of Wei's mansion, a mountain that others dare not even think about and are extremely envious of. They will naturally wonder what kind of things you have suffered."

"Isn't this better than you saying it yourself?"

"Ah!" Jiang Lanqing was shocked, as if she had been struck by lightning.

Is it even possible to do that?

"Their purposes are different," Qi Zhiyu said. "One is that they feel there's nothing that can't be explained between family members, and the other is that they themselves came to the Duke of Wei's mansion to find out why they felt sorry for you."

"Therefore, never prove yourself, never prove yourself!"

Jiang Lanqing immediately bowed deeply to Qi Zhiyu, saying, "Thank you, Princess."

"You're welcome. Helping you is also helping our own family," Qi Zhiyu waved her hand.

She does things without expecting anyone's gratitude.

As long as it benefits her and the people she cares about.

The rest is not important.

"Second brother, you two chat, I'm going back first," Qi Zhiyu said as she stood up.

"Okay." Qi Jingxi readily agreed.

What is his sister, a young woman, doing here?

Especially since there are men involved... they might very well have designs on his sister!

His sister is still young.

Anyway, he hasn't seen anyone good enough for his sister yet!

After Qi Zhiyu left, Qi Jingxi had a meal prepared and chatted with Jiang Lanqing while drinking.

If the Duke of Wei were present, he would have realized that he was completely wrong. The good-for-nothing he thought he was was actually... just his own perception.

News of what Qi Zhiyu did spread very quickly.

The King of Wu had been keeping a close eye on the Prince of Rui's situation, and he even had someone investigate the family of the Duke of Wei's illegitimate son.

He examined it carefully. Although the Duchess of Wei had used some underhanded methods in the past, it was not excessive for her to treat a son born out of wedlock, especially one who had no ability.

If a son born out of wedlock is capable and can help the son born out of wedlock, then he should naturally be nurtured well.

That illegitimate son was mediocre and timid, and was not a promising talent at all.

The Duke of Wei was quite generous; he even allowed his illegitimate son to get married before dividing the family property.

Now, Jiang Lanqing has gone mad for some reason, insisting on severing ties with his father.

Without the Duke of Wei's support, does Jiang Lanqing really expect the Prince Rui's Mansion to help him?

A piece of trash is a piece of trash; they don't know what's important and they can't assess the situation.

This incident did indeed cause discussion among the people of the capital, but no one took it to heart.

At most, it's just a guess at how the Duke of Wei was tormenting this illegitimate son.

Otherwise, would the illegitimate son have left the Duke of Wei's mansion so resolutely?

Anyway, the reputation of the Duke of Wei's mansion is not very good.

This matter caused quite a stir, and Emperor Kangwu heard about it.

He thought about it for a moment, and some details he hadn't paid attention to before, now seemed unusual when he thought about them again.

After Emperor Kangwu finished reviewing the whole thing, he couldn't help but laugh: "That kid Qi Jingxi, he seems so carefree and irresponsible, but he's actually quite capable."

Qi Jingxi and Jiang Lanqing are good brothers. Prince Rui and Prince Wu are enemies, and Duke Wei is a follower of Prince Wu.

How exactly did Qi Jingxi manage to win over Jiang Lanqing?

In particular, Qi Jingxi was able to get Jiang Lanqing to confide in him.

That kid...good job.

None of the eldest son's children are simple.

Regardless of what others say, Chiang Shu-yi's wedding proceeded as scheduled.

Early in the morning, Wei Yifeng's general's mansion was covered with red silk.

Tang Jingrou was busy with all sorts of things. She was no longer the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, and these days, the ladies in the capital would no longer invite her to any banquets.

She had been feeling frustrated for a long time.

Today, her son is getting married, and even the King of Wu has come. This is a moment of great pride for her family.

Those snobs, didn't they obediently come to offer their congratulations?

The King of Wu not only came in person, but also brought gifts from Consort De.

Tang Jingrou felt that she stood up straighter today and spoke louder than usual.

"Hurry, the auspicious time is almost here! Go and fetch the bride quickly, don't miss the auspicious time!" Tang Jingrou called to the servants to urge her son on.

Wei Yifeng rode a tall horse to pick up the bride, while Jiang Shuyi kept peeking out from inside the Duke of Wei's mansion.

"Miss, it's time to pay our respects to the Duke," the maid reminded her.

Jiang Shuyi nodded sadly.

Mother, in the end, did not come.

She also knew that since her mother had been divorced, she naturally couldn't come back into the house.

However, she still held onto a sliver of hope that her mother could sneak in through the side door and see her.

But she never got to see him.

Jiang Shuyi was helped out to bid farewell to her relatives.

At this moment, the wedding procession had arrived.

Through the red veil, she heard the lively congratulations outside, and she knew that her wedding was in the making.

Her lavish wedding will be deeply remembered by the people of the capital, and she will be the envy of future young ladies when they get married.

Thinking of this, Jiang Shuyi's regret at not being able to see her mother faded considerably.

Regardless, she is now getting married in style.

She sat in the sedan chair, and could still hear people on the street talking about her long wedding procession.

Every word and phrase was filled with envy.

Jiang Shuyi's lips curled up in a smug smile. Even though her mother had been divorced and sent back to her maternal grandparents' home, her maternal grandparents' home had given her family enough over the years.

Of course, the wealth in the Duke of Wei's mansion was incomparable to that of her maternal grandfather's family.

If her mother hadn't been divorced, her dowry would have been even more substantial.

Boom!

A sudden burst of fireworks caused everyone to instinctively search for the source of the fire.

"Fireworks! Fireworks!" the people on the street shouted excitedly.

Jiang Shuyi sat in the sedan chair, feeling very confused. No one had told her that there was such a thing as setting off fireworks.

"Ah, those are fireworks from the shop!"

"How do they set off fireworks?"

"You don't know this, do you? Those shops belong to the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Wei. She's the bride's own mother. It's just a pity she was divorced."

"Ah, is this a mother celebrating for her daughter?"

Jiang Shuyi suddenly lifted the red veil, placed her fingers on the sedan curtain, and then stopped.

She was the bride and shouldn't be looking, but she was already so excited that her whole body was trembling slightly and her eyes were red.

Mother... Mother is celebrating for her in her own way!

Half of the most profitable shops in the capital belong to her maternal grandfather's family. Now, they're setting off fireworks together—such a grand spectacle...who can compare?
