After Qi Zhiyu finished speaking with a sincere smile, she and her maidservant walked directly past Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng's carriage and left.

Her carriage, driven by its driver, moved aside to make way for Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng.

Even though they were the ones being given way, neither Wei Yifeng nor Jiang Shuyi were happy.

Their minds were constantly buzzing, as if a giant spoon was stirring inside them, making them restless and giving them splitting headaches.

None of the servants in the Wei family dared to ask if they wanted to leave.

They had all heard what Princess Chen'an had just said.

Speaking now would be inviting trouble.

Why would they bother if their master took his anger out on them again?

The servants hung their heads in silence, waiting for their master's instructions.

After a long pause, Wei Yifeng let out a cryptic chuckle, then said, "Let's go."

Upon hearing this, the coachman immediately cracked his whip and urged the carriage forward.

Jiang Shuyi suddenly looked at Wei Yifeng, wanting to speak, but in the end she didn't say a word.

We can discuss this once we arrive at the Duke of Wei's residence.

It wouldn't look good if a fight broke out on the street.

As soon as Wei Yifeng and his entourage arrived at the gate of the Duke of Wei's mansion, before they had even come to a complete stop, the servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion immediately came up to greet them with great enthusiasm.

Wei Yifeng let out another sarcastic snort.

Jiang Shuyi frowned deeply; he was never going to stop.

Wei Yifeng got off the carriage directly, his face gloomy, and without saying a word, went straight into the Duke of Wei's mansion.

His move completely baffled the people in the Duke of Wei's mansion.

What's going on?

Shouldn't the couple get off the carriage and enter the mansion together, all sweet and affectionate?

General Wei's face showed no sweetness, but rather anger.

This doesn't look like a homecoming; it looks like they're coming to divorce their wife.

The moment this thought popped into their heads, the servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion shuddered. They dared not think about it, dared not entertain any wild thoughts.

The maids and servants hurriedly helped Jiang Shuyi down from the carriage.

When the servants saw Jiang Shuyi's pale face, their hearts sank. Oh no, had they guessed right?

Is he really going to divorce his wife?

Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw... What are they thinking?

They've only been married a few days!

No, no!

The servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion tried their best to comfort themselves, and then quickly helped Jiang Shuyi inside.

When Jiang Shuyi went inside, she saw her grandfather with a dark face.

"What are you doing?" Duke Wei asked Jiang Shuyi as soon as she entered.

"You're returning to your parents' home after only three days, and this is why you're all giving me such a hard time?"

"Are you unhappy with this marriage, or do you feel that the marriage between the Jiang and Wei families is beneath you two?"

Although the Jiang family followed the King of Wu, it was not considered a case of his granddaughter marrying Wei Yifeng above her station!

Who was Wei Yifeng trying to impress with that look?

Jiang Shuyi lowered her head and remained silent, but her entire being exuded grievance.

Wei Yifeng, sitting to the side, naturally saw everything.

He cupped his hands and said, "Grandfather, you can't blame me for this."

"After all, I don't have my grandfather's magnanimity. He didn't just give up the Sun family business like that."

The Duke of Wei was startled: "You knew?"

Wei Yifeng scoffed, "Grandfather is really overthinking things. Although my Wei family no longer holds the title of marquis, we are still upright gentlemen."

"Our Wei family will not take possession of the dowry that Madam brought."

"Grandfather had absolutely no reason to give up that huge business just to keep an eye on me."

The Duke of Wei's brows furrowed deeply. He looked at Jiang Shuyi and asked, "How did you find out?"

Jiang Shuyi said sullenly, "On the way here, I ran into Princess Chen'an."

"She made way for us in her carriage, saying it was out of gratitude that I hadn't accepted Jiang Lanqing's dowry."

As Jiang Shuyi spoke, she felt as if her heart was bleeding.

If she had known that this was the dowry Jiang Lanqing was offering her, how could she have refused?

There is another very important question.

"Grandfather, why is that the dowry?" She didn't understand why her maternal grandfather's business had to be handed over to Jiang Lanqing.

Duke Wei sighed, "We've been outmaneuvered by Prince Rui and his group."

"But I think this insidious method was Qi Zhiyu's idea."

Duke Wei didn't hide anything and told them what Sun Tingxiang had said.

After hearing this, Jiang Shuyi felt a mix of emotions.

Her mother actually went to such lengths for her!

The handing over this business to her may seem like helping the Duke of Weiguo's family, but in reality, it was also giving her confidence.

Whether in the Wei family or the Jiang family, she held the Sun family's assets in her hands, which gave her the confidence that no one could touch!

"Jiang Lanqing and Qi Jingxi are like-minded cronies, and Qi Zhiyu must know how much your mother loves you." Duke Wei also figured out the reason.

"What did your mother want to do to help you? Jiang Lanqing is usually an honest person. I don't know what Qi Zhiyu did behind the scenes to make your mother act that way."

"Your mother would gamble the entire Sun family by handing it over to Jiang Lanqing; it was definitely Qi Zhiyu's scheme."

"Jiang Lanqing deliberately made you reject the dowry he gave you, and then severed ties with you!"

These things, no matter how you look at them, were all Qi Zhiyu's doing.

"How could Qi Zhiyu do this?" Jiang Shuyi exclaimed angrily. "Grandfather, we...we..."

Jiang Shuyi and I talked for a long time, but then we couldn't continue.

She wanted to find someone to judge the matter, or to go to the yamen to sue Jiang Lanqing for seizing her family property.

However, there is absolutely no reason for it.

Because this was her mother's voluntary donation of the family property to Jiang Lanqing.

If things escalate, her mother will definitely be the one to suffer.

"Grandfather, are we just going to suffer this in silence?" Jiang Shuyi felt a tightness in her chest, making it hard for her to breathe, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Duke Wei had recovered from that feeling in the past two days, but now that Jiang Shuyi brought it up, that agonizing feeling returned, making him extremely uncomfortable.

He realized that Qi Zhiyu was doing it on purpose.

Tell him once, and then tell his granddaughter again when she returns home for her wedding.

That way, I can stab him in the heart twice, making him suffer twice.

Qi Zhiyu... is simply a vicious villain!

Despicable and shameless!

"It's no use saying anything now." Duke Wei took a deep breath, suppressing the churning pain in his heart.

Who knows how painful it would be to miss out on such a huge industry?

"If it's gone, it's gone." The Duke of Wei's words were like a knife to his heart; he didn't know if he was trying to comfort Wei Yifeng or himself.

Anyway, his heart has been throbbing intermittently for the past two days.

"You two have just gotten married, don't let this affect you," said the Duke of Wei. "If you two develop a rift, then Qi Zhiyu's goal will have been achieved."

"We should now unite and work together to deal with Prince Rui."

Wei Yifeng nodded: "Grandfather is right."

He agreed verbally, but how could he not blame Jiang Shuyi in his heart?

If Jiang Shuyi had been a little more amiable towards Jiang Lanqing, the Sun family's businesses would have been theirs!
