Without the master giving any orders, the old women from Prince Rui's mansion quickly jumped into the lake and swam rapidly toward Jiang Shuyi.

There were maids waiting for them on the shore.

As the old woman pulled Jiang Shuyi ashore, the maid, who had prepared a cloak, immediately wrapped it around Jiang Shuyi.

Two maids helped Jiang Shuyi into a sedan chair, and an old woman carried her quickly to a side room.

The whole process was incredibly fast.

Before anyone could react, Jiang Shuyi had already been carried away.

Someone remarked, "The Prince Rui's residence is truly well-prepared."

Princess Rui smiled slightly and said nothing.

Qi Zhiyu said, "This kind of scene always happens at any banquet."

"It's either drowning or Chinese medicine!"

"We always need to prepare in advance to avoid this kind of thing happening."

Everyone: "..."

I didn't know what to say for a moment.

That's true, but for some reason, it just feels a little awkward.

"Come on, go find the King of Wu ahead and tell him that his daughter pushed someone into the water," Qi Zhiyu instructed.

"Let them see how to handle this."

It's best for outsiders not to interfere in the affairs between the King of Wu and the Wei family.

Even if they are the host family, it is inappropriate for them to overstep their bounds.

It was just a minor incident. Princess Rui arranged a separate room for Prince Wu and his entourage to handle the matter.

With so many women present, it's inconvenient for the King of Wu and other men to come over.

Qi Rongyao was completely bewildered and was led away from the place by the maid without her understanding what was happening.

"Mother, I'm going to check on Jiang Shuyi," Qi Zhiyu said.

With so many guests around, her mother had to attend to them and couldn't leave.

Since Jiang Shuyi had an accident, as the hostess, she definitely had to go and check on her.

When Qi Zhiyu arrived, Jiang Shuyi was still taking a shower.

She waited in the outer room for a while until Jiang Shuyi finished washing up and drank a bowl of ginger and brown sugar water to ward off the cold before she came out.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you, Princess." Jiang Shuyi curtsied.

Qi Zhiyu smiled slightly: "Not bad, you've been smarter this time."

Jiang Shuyi looked at Qi Zhiyu in confusion: "What does the princess mean by this?"

"There's no one else here, do you really need to pretend?" Qi Zhiyu asked, amused.

"Don't worry, no one is eavesdropping outside. Your deliberate scheme against Qi Rongyao will remain a secret."

Jiang Shuyi's face darkened: "Your Highness, please be careful with your words! I would never have meant such a thing!"

"Isn't it because Wei Yifeng was thinking of divorcing his wife that you deliberately plotted to have Qi Rongyao push you into the water so that you could keep your position as Mrs. Wei?" Qi Zhiyu looked at Jiang Shuyi with amusement.

"Qi Rongyao is the daughter of the King of Wu, and she is also related to the Wei family."

"Qi Rongyao just pushed you into the water, and Wei Yifeng divorced you right after. What will others think of Prince Wu?"

"His daughter did something wrong, but instead of being punished, you, the victim, are the one who suffers."

"The Wu royal family is far too arrogant and domineering!"

"In the past, this matter would have been settled once it was done, but now the King of Wu is in a bad situation, and this incident... would only make matters worse."

Jiang Shuyi stared intently at Qi Zhiyu: "As expected, nothing can be hidden from the princess."

"I did this all thanks to the princess!"

Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth in hatred: "Isn't my current predicament all your fault, Princess?"

"Because of me, the Jiang family has sided with Prince Rui. Why would Wei Yifeng keep me alive?"

Wei Yifeng didn't explicitly say he would divorce his wife, but she sensed it.

She couldn't just wait passively.

If Wei Yifeng really divorces her, where else can she go?

Her maternal grandparents' family had long since left the capital. Could it be that she was to travel thousands of miles to her maternal grandparents' hometown?

Moreover, she couldn't guarantee that she would actually be able to find anyone if she went to her maternal grandfather's hometown.

Even if she finds someone, will her maternal grandparents take her in?

Anyway, she can't go back to the Jiang family.

Even if she could go back, as a divorced woman, she would be inferior to others when she returned to her parents' home.

Is there anyone who would support her for the rest of her life?

Her parents both had an accident.

If she were to remarry, would she be able to find a better family than the Wei family?

Remarrying would only make things more difficult than they are now.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot be divorced!

"However, Princess, you didn't expect this, did you? Even in dire straits, I found a way to survive." Jiang Shuyi looked at Qi Zhiyu triumphantly.

The provocation in her eyes made Qi Zhiyu laugh involuntarily: "You think you've won?"

"Isn't that right?" Jiang Shuyi felt that she had finally gotten her revenge.

"Isn't the princess just trying to force me to my death and make my life miserable?"

"Too bad, you miscalculated."

"I can still stay in the Wei family and be Mrs. Wei!"

"As long as Qi Rongyao is alive, I will not be divorced! This concerns Qi Rongyao's reputation."

"What good family would want a girl who pushes people into the water?"

Qi Zhiyu laughed: "Do you think your life will be any better if you don't get divorced?"

"Wei Yifeng's heart is not with you; taking a concubine is inevitable."

"By then, you won't even have a child of your own!"

Jiang Shuyi said coldly, "So what?"

"As long as I am the legal wife, the children born to concubines are all my children and should be raised and taught by me."

"You want to teach her?" Qi Zhiyu laughed at her naivety. "You have a mother-in-law now. What can you do if she wants to torment you?"

"In front of your child, your mother-in-law will tell the child that you are not their biological mother and that you are not worthy to be their legal wife."

Even if the Wei family reserves the position of their legal wife for you, in reality, you mean nothing to them.

"If you show anything in public, they will immediately find fault with you and divorce you."

"Jiang Shuyi, from now on, you must live in constant fear every day."

"Every day is filled with backstabbing and intrigue."

"You have no one you can trust around you; everyone you see is an enemy."

"But the worst that can happen is that they are your family, living under the same roof as you."

As Qi Zhiyu spoke, Jiang Shuyi's face grew paler and paler.

She knew that Qi Zhiyu wasn't just trying to scare her; it was all true.

This is the life she will have to face from now on.

"But so what?" Jiang Shuyi sneered. "You wanted to force me to my death, but I still managed to keep my position as Mrs. Wei."

"Guess why we're so well-prepared for the rescue?" Qi Zhiyu asked, raising an eyebrow.

Jiang Shuyi's expression changed.

"That's because the Jiang family is a scoundrel, and the Wei family is my enemy," Qi Zhiyu kindly explained.

"Wei Chengjiang hates Tang Jingrou to death, but he can't divorce her. Wei Yifeng hates you to death too, but he still can't divorce you."

"Your family hates each other, yet you have no choice but to live together."

"I don't even need to lift a finger; you can torture each other on your own."

"Isn't this more fun than letting you all die?"
