"Father, don't worry," Jiang Baihua replied.
On the day Jiang Shuyi returned to her parents' home, the Duke of Wei's mansion had made preparations well in advance.
The servants waited outside the door, all dressed in festive attire.
Anyone who walks by can see that the Duke of Wei's mansion is celebrating a great occasion.
The Duke of Wei's mansion made such a grand spectacle, as if nothing had happened on the wedding day.
Of course, the common people didn't discuss Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng's wedding, because they were all marveling at the grandeur of the Prince Rui's Mansion.
They gave us so many freebies for the new store opening; they're such kind people.
In addition to food, they were also given fabric and other gifts.
If they need to buy those things in the future, they will go to the shops in Prince Rui's mansion to buy them.
They could buy those things from other shops anyway, but the items given to them by Prince Rui's Mansion were of much better quality than those from other shops at the same price.
Why didn't they go to the shops at Prince Rui's mansion?
Sitting in the carriage, Jiang Shuyi could clearly hear the discussions of the people outside, all praising the quality of the goods sold in the shops of Prince Rui's Mansion.
She was so angry that she twisted the handkerchief in her hand into a ball.
Qi Zhiyu not only ruined her wedding, but also made a name for the Ruiwang Mansion's shops.
Originally, she married into the Wei family with a large dowry, which was a grand affair. However, when her maternal grandparents' family business was suddenly revealed, her dowry became a joke.
What are her dowry compared to the Sun family's wealth?
When the Wei family saw her, they wouldn't think about what she had brought with her; all they would think about was that the Sun family's business had nothing to do with her anymore.
It could be said that these first few days of her marriage, which should have been a sweet time, turned out to be quite awkward for her.
Although the Wei family wouldn't mistreat her, the unintentional remarks they made were enough to make her feel bad.
The Jiang family still has power, and the Wei family is already treating her like this. If the Jiang family declines... how can the word "miserable" even begin to describe her life?
Jiang Shuyi secretly glanced at Wei Yifeng.
Wei Yifeng remained silent, as if he hadn't heard the discussions outside.
She didn't believe that a military man like Wei Yifeng wouldn't be able to hear those voices; he was probably resenting her for not taking over the Sun family's assets.
Jiang Shuyi felt both resentful and aggrieved.
Doesn't Wei Yifeng know how to comfort her?
The carriage suddenly stopped, and Jiang Shuyi asked impatiently, "What happened?"
The maidservant outside the carriage hurriedly reported, "Young Madam, there is a carriage ahead."
Jiang Shuyi snapped at him impatiently, "Why aren't you going to check on the situation yet!"
The road is narrow; if two carriages meet, only one can pass.
They were originally going to take the main road, but a disturbance started on the other side, so they had to take this route to avoid wasting time.
This is her auspicious day for returning home. It would be very unlucky if her carriage had to turn back or avoid it.
Everything's going wrong, it's so frustrating!
"I wonder whose carriage it is, it's so annoying," Jiang Shuyi complained casually.
Wei Yifeng said in a deep voice, "If it's not possible, then we'll give in."
There are many people in the capital with higher official positions than him.
His father has now lost his marquisate, and although he is related to the King of Wu, he cannot be so ostentatious.
Especially since the King of Wu is currently in a delicate situation, he cannot afford to cause trouble for the King of Wu.
Jiang Shuyi forced a smile: "Okay."
Is she really going to have to live such a stifling life now?
Just then, a voice came from outside the car: "Jiang Shuyi, right? I'm letting you go first."
The familiar voice made Jiang Shuyi suddenly push open the carriage window, and she saw Qi Zhiyu standing by her carriage with a bright smile on her face.
"Princess?" Jiang Shuyi was extremely surprised.
Why would Qi Zhiyu be so kind as to let her go first?
No matter how I think about it, something just doesn't feel right.
"How can we ask the princess to step aside?" Jiang Shuyi smiled. "Let's back out."
"It's alright." Qi Zhiyu was unusually agreeable today. "Today is your auspicious day for returning home, so it's only right that we give way to you."
The more polite Qi Zhiyu was, the more terrified Jiang Shuyi became.
Will Qi Zhiyu give way?
This is more terrifying than the sun rising in the west.
Qi Zhiyu must be plotting against her.
"No, no, no..." Jiang Shuyi refused repeatedly, "There is a distinction between superiors and inferiors, and a subject cannot overstep the bounds."
"Hey! If I say it's okay, then it's okay!" Qi Zhiyu said enthusiastically. "Don't be so polite with me."
"The main reason is that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to acquire so many properties from the Sun family."
Jiang Shuyi's smile froze instantly: "What does this have to do with me?"
Wei Yifeng, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but lean forward, wanting to hear the reason clearly.
"Huh? Didn't the Duke of Wei tell you?" Qi Zhiyu asked in surprise. Then she realized, "Oh, right, you're married and haven't returned to your parents' home yet, so naturally you wouldn't know."
"Never mind, never mind, you'll know if you ask your grandfather when you get back."
"You guys should go back now, I won't take up any more of your time," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.
Jiang Shuyi felt a chill run down her spine, sensing that it wasn't something she wanted to know.
However, Qi Zhiyu's half-finished sentence only made her more anxious and frustrated.
"Princess, please just tell me. Otherwise, I won't ask you to leave on foot to make way for me," Jiang Shuyi asked nervously.
If Qi Zhiyu doesn't explain things clearly, they'll keep worrying about it the whole way.
When they arrived at the Duke of Wei's mansion, they got off the carriage. Instead of the radiant glow of newlyweds, they looked worried. Wouldn't that make them a laughingstock?
"Please enlighten me, Your Highness." Wei Yifeng also wanted to find out.
"It's really not a big deal," Qi Zhiyu said with a smile to Jiang Shuyi.
"If you hadn't refused Brother Jiang's dowry, Brother Jiang wouldn't have given me all of the Sun family's assets."
Rumble!
A thunderbolt struck Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng's minds, leaving them completely stunned.
Jiang Shuyi felt a ringing in her ears, and couldn't hear anything outside.
Wei Yifeng recovered faster, as his unwillingness overcame his shock: "Princess, what do you mean by that?"
"The Sun family gave all their assets to Brother Jiang, and Brother Jiang wanted to give them to Jiang Shuyi as part of her dowry. Jiang Shuyi firmly refused and didn't want them." Qi Zhiyu smiled with relief.
"I am able to own so many businesses thanks to Chiang Shu-yi not taking them."
"For this reason alone, what's a little shrug?"
"Jiang Shuyi, you don't need to be so polite with me. This is what you deserve."
After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking, she took two steps back and said, "Alright, today is your auspicious day for returning home, so I won't keep you any longer."
"Oh, right, I haven't congratulated you yet."
Qi Zhiyu said with utmost sincerity, "I wish you a joyous and happy marriage."
