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

Jiang Shuyi's face instantly turned ashen.

"Jiang Shuyi, just because your in-laws treat you badly doesn't mean you can set up a fictitious in-law family for me," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

"You need to understand, I'm not like you."

Jiang Shuyi swayed, her teeth grinding together.

"Princess..." Jiang Shuyi began in a hoarse voice, "This humble woman was merely offering a word of advice."

"Since the princess has her own ideas, then it is this humble woman who has spoken out of turn."

"Well, it's good that you know you're being nosy." Qi Zhiyu chuckled. "I'll have someone go to the Wei family and ask your in-laws how they've been teaching you."

"As a wife, she doesn't even understand basic etiquette. Is this how the Wei family raises their daughter-in-law?"

Qi Zhiyu deliberately emphasized the word "discipline".

Just now, wasn't Jiang Shuyi trying to judge her based on a non-existent in-law family?

Then she used Jiang Shuyi's in-laws to suppress her.

Even though Jiang Shuyi is the granddaughter of the Duke of Wei, once she enters the Wei family, she will still be considered a daughter-in-law of the Wei family.

Even if Wei Chengjiang wasn't a marquis but just a commoner, he was still a member of Consort De's family!

Duke Wei would not offend the Wei family over such a trivial matter as Jiang Shuyi!

"Princess!" Jiang Shuyi exclaimed in disbelief.

Why did Qi Zhiyu have to tell her in-laws about this?

Tang Jingrou usually likes to act like a mother-in-law.

Some time ago, Tang Jingrou was beaten up, and she felt that the beating was because of her.

During this period, they treated her with even more disdain.

If Tang Jingrou finds out what just happened, she'll have another reason to manipulate her.

"Jiang Shuyi, aren't you a virtuous daughter-in-law?" Qi Zhiyu said with a smile.

"Since that's the case, then your in-laws will definitely find out about your transgression."

"Now, you represent the face of your husband's family."

"How could someone as virtuous and kind as you do such an outrageous thing?"

Jiang Shuyi felt a tightness in her chest.

All the things she had just said about Qi Zhiyu had backfired on her.

Jiang Shuyi glared at Qi Zhiyu with resentment. Qi Zhiyu was as hateful as ever!

Jiang Shuyi took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She didn't come here to talk to Qi Zhiyu about this.

She had her own agenda and something to talk about.

"Princess, are you aware of what's been happening at the border lately?" Jiang Shuyi smiled, pretending that nothing had just happened.

Qi Zhiyu nodded: "I know."

"The border battles went quite smoothly, and several times we escaped danger as if divinely aided."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shuyi raised her chin smugly: "Princess, have you ever considered that it's because our prayer ceremony worked?"

"Moreover, so many people used prayer charms together, which moved Heaven, and that's why the soldiers are protected."

Now, if you walk down the street, you can hear people talking about that blessing ceremony and the prayer charms.

She was the one who spearheaded this whole thing.

"Pfft..." Qi Zhiyu burst out laughing.

She met Jiang Shuyi's resentful gaze, smiled, waved her hand, and explained, "I couldn't help it."

"Why is the princess laughing? Is what I said so ridiculous?" Jiang Shuyi asked coldly.

"Or does the princess think that the soldiers' smooth sailing is a joke?"

Are you trying to label me?

Qi Zhiyu raised an eyebrow: "Jiang Shuyi, you don't need to be so quick to pin charges on me."

"I just don't understand why you're so smug."

"Besides you leading the ritual, what did the blessings have to do with you?"

"Have you forgotten that the incense goes out as soon as you light it, and the incense goes out as soon as you light it?"

"Even Heaven can't sense your sincerity. Have you even offered prayers for the soldiers?"

Jiang Shuyi retorted, "Your Highness is mistaken. The incense will go out, and it's not just me who will be affected."

"I don't know why the incense went out. But my sincerity is as clear as day."

"Indeed, when others first lit incense, it went out, but later some ladies succeeded," Qi Zhiyu said slowly.

"Not to mention, none of the ordinary people who went up to offer incense had any problems."

"All I can say is that some people are sincere, while others... have too many things on their minds."

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Shuyi frowned.

"How does the princess know what others are thinking?"

Qi Zhiyu is being deliberately mysterious again.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and said, "It seems that Madam Wei doesn't care enough about your allies."

"Use it when you need it, and then just leave it aside afterward... Madam Wei, that's not a good idea."

Jiang Shuyi was furious.

What is Qi Zhiyu saying?

It's as if she's the kind of person who's selfish, cold-hearted, and only knows how to take.

"Princess, please do not make wild guesses. I am not such a heartless and ungrateful person," Jiang Shuyi argued.

She couldn't let that title be placed on her.

If that were the case, how would others perceive her?

"Whether it's true or not, you can just go and ask around," Qi Zhiyu said casually. "I'm really curious, some people can burn incense while others can't. Aren't you curious why?"

"Or... is it that... after returning from praying at the temple, Madam Wei never offered incense again? So, you don't know whether your incense went out or stayed?"

Qi Zhiyu's words caused all the ladies and young women around Jiang Shuyi to turn and look at her.

Wei Yifeng also went to the expedition.

As his newlywed wife, shouldn't Jiang Shuyi be at home praying for Wei Yifeng?

Even if the marriage between the Jiang and Wei families is based on mutual benefit, Jiang Shuyi and Wei Yifeng are childhood sweethearts. Don't they always boast that their relationship is stronger than gold?

If all these years of feelings between these two people have been an act... those ladies and young women felt a strange tremor in their hearts.

The Wei and Jiang families are terrifying.

They can be so hypocritical.

How much of what they still have is genuine?

They followed the King of Wu, but how much of what the King of Wu did was believable?

A storm raged within them, though they tried very hard not to show it.

But how could all of this escape Qi Zhiyu's eyes?

A smile flickered in Qi Zhiyu's eyes.

Jiang Shuyi is such a good person.

He always tried to give her opportunities.

If she doesn't make good use of it, she'll really be letting down Jiang Shuyi's hard work!

"Of course I offered incense!" Jiang Shuyi said stubbornly.

"That's perfect. I also have some prayer charms here. Light some incense now and let me see if it's lit," Qi Zhiyu suggested.

"Your Highness is too kind," Jiang Shuyi refused outright. "How could I, a humble woman, casually offer incense outside to pray for my husband's well-being?"

"We, your humble servants, only came to pay our respects upon hearing that Your Highness was here. We will not disturb Your Highness's enjoyment any longer. We will take our leave now."
