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

After giving a hurried bow, Jiang Shuyi quickly left, giving the impression of fleeing in disarray.

Now, all the ladies and young women who were with her understood.

Jiang Shuyi has essentially confessed without being asked.

They followed Jiang Shuyi out.

Jiang Shuyi moved away from the place before standing still: "Princess Chen'an has a really bad temper."

"It would be pointless to continue."

"The princess is used to acting recklessly. No amount of persuasion can change her mind about such a disgraceful act against a woman's reputation."

As the ladies listened to Jiang Shuyi continue to downplay the issue, they became even more certain.

After the prayer ceremony, Jiang Shuyi never offered incense or prayed for Wei Yifeng again.

It seems there's more to this marriage alliance between the Jiang and Wei families than meets the eye.

They need to go back and talk to their husbands and fathers.

They needed to think ahead about what to do next and how to follow the King of Wu.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but on the surface they all echoed Jiang Shuyi's words.

Jiang Shuyi maintained a facade of decorum, but this small gathering between sisters ultimately ended hastily.

She wanted to go back and find out what was going on.

Jiang Shuyi came up with an excuse, and the others followed suit. On the surface, everyone remained amicable, as if nothing was amiss.

As for what they are really thinking, only they themselves know.

Jiang Shuyi quickly returned home, took out the prayer charms she had casually tossed into the box, and placed them on the incense table.

She lit the incense and placed it in the incense burner.

Sure enough, the incense that was burning well went out immediately.

Jiang Shuyi summoned her trusted confidants and asked them to inquire about the other wives.

Jiang Shuyi was shocked when she found out what she had learned.

"What do you mean? You don't want the King of Wu, you want the King of Rui?" Jiang Shuyi slammed her hand on the table in anger. "This is utterly absurd."

"I've never heard of incense burning depending on what you're thinking!"

"ridiculous!"

The maid dared not speak, lowering her head and holding her breath.

They were afraid of being blamed.

Outside the door, a maid knocked: "Young Madam, Master and Madam request your presence."

Jiang Shuyi took a deep breath and, suppressing her anger, said, "I understand."

Outside, people would respectfully address her as Madam Wei.

Because Wei Yifeng is the head of the Wei family.

But strangely enough, in this household, the servants still addressed Wei Yifeng as "Young Master".

It's as if his father-in-law is in charge.

Even though she no longer held a title, the entire Wei family relied on her husband for support; she was the true matriarch.

But in this family, her mother-in-law still calls the shots.

It's so frustrating!

Jiang Shuyi tidied herself up before going over.

"Father, Mother," Jiang Shuyi said respectfully.

"Jiang Shuyi, what a mess you've made!" Tang Jingrou scolded.

Suppressing her anger, Jiang Shuyi patiently asked, "What did my daughter-in-law do to anger you so much, Mother?"

"Do you take me for a deaf person or a fool?" Tang Jingrou cursed viciously.

"If you want to pray for blessings, you must chant the name of Prince Rui. If you chant the name of Prince Wu, you won't even be able to light the incense!"

"Is your prayer for blessings intended to boost the King of Wu's prestige, or are you trying to drag him down with you?"

"Do you think you can keep this news from the King of Wu?"

Jiang Shuyi frowned, ignoring Tang Jingrou, and looked at Wei Chengjiang: "Father, what do you think?"

"I'm right here. What do you mean by asking your father-in-law directly?" Tang Jingrou rebuked sharply.

"So young, yet so restless!"

What a vixen! All she does is talk to men!

How could Jiang Shuyi not understand Tang Jingrou's meaning?

She glared at Tang Jingrou with shame and indignation: "Mother, watch your words!"

"You did such a shameful thing, and you don't even allow others to talk about it?" Tang Jingrou scolded. "Don't start flirting with other women just because my son isn't home!"

When has Chiang Shu-yi ever suffered such humiliation?

She angrily shouted, "Mother!"

"My daughter, from the Jiang family, is not so shameless. Mother, please don't judge others by your own standards!"

Tang Jingrou exploded upon hearing this, pointing at herself and roaring, "Jiang Shuyi, are you saying I am?"

"How can you, as a daughter-in-law, talk to your mother-in-law like that?"

"What are your rules?"

Jiang Shuyi, her neck stiff, stared at Tang Jingrou: "It was Mother's words that went too far!"

"I, a daughter of the Jiang family, would never do the kind of thing my mother described!"

"You..." Tang Jingrou was about to curse again, but Wei Chengjiang interrupted her, "Alright, shut up!"

"Is this the time to argue about these things?"

As soon as Wei Chengjiang spoke, Tang Jingrou immediately shut up.

"King Wu will probably hear the news soon." Wei Chengjiang looked at Jiang Shuyi. "You took the lead on the prayer ceremony. You'll have to figure out how to proceed from here on out."

Jiang Shuyi understood; he meant he didn't care about anything and wanted her to clean up the mess herself.

The Wei family is truly irresponsible!

If it weren't for the power of the King of Wu, why would she have married into the Wei family?

For some reason, Jiang Shuyi suddenly recalled Qi Zhiyu's natural and matter-of-fact smile.

Qi Zhiyu was so confident about her marriage, while she... was so powerless to control her own destiny.

A sense of sorrow made Jiang Shuyi's heart ache.

However, she quickly suppressed this inexplicable emotion, as important matters needed to be addressed.

She is different from Qi Zhiyu.

Qi Zhiyu is relying on Prince Rui and His Majesty's support.

Qi Zhiyu is someone who does nothing all day and only knows how to enjoy himself.

As for her, she needed to share the burden of the family, because she was a member of the family and had to contribute to the Jiang family.

Only through such unity can we truly be one family!

"Father, I'm going home to discuss this with Grandfather," Jiang Shuyi said.

Wei Chengjiang nodded: "There's no time to lose, you should go quickly."

After bowing, Jiang Shuyi left.

She had just stepped out of the room when she heard a loud slap from inside, followed by her mother-in-law's cries of, "Why did you hit me?"

Jiang Shuyi sneered and left.

Such a muddle-headed person deserves to be beaten!

Jiang Shuyi returned to the Duke of Wei's residence by carriage. Upon seeing the Duke, she was terrified, her face turning pale: "Grandfather, what... what happened to you?"

She hadn't seen her grandfather for over a month, and he looked so thin.

The Duke of Wei waved his hand weakly: "It's alright."

"It's just that the Gu poison flares up from time to time."

The pain is unbearable.

Even when he doesn't have an attack, he feels uneasy all over.

Being constantly on edge will naturally lead to a loss of appetite and a reluctance to eat.

Therefore, it's normal to lose weight.

He can't even go to the morning court now.

I have already asked His Majesty for leave and am staying at home.

He hoped that his son would make a great contribution when he returned this time!

At that time, everything in the Jiang family will be handed over to Jiang Baihua.

Fortunately, he had everything arranged in the military, so there shouldn't be any unexpected problems.

He just needs to hold on until his son comes back.

"Why did you come back so suddenly? Did something happen to the Wei family?" The Duke of Wei no longer had a good impression of the Wei family.

Ever since Wei Chengjiang lost his marquis title, he has become extremely petty and lacks any sense of order in his actions; he is truly unworthy of respect.
