Wei Wenxuan worked at the Hanlin Academy, and usually by this time, he would have already been served by Consort Chu.

After a while, he said to the servant beside him, "Go and ask for permission to be sick. Tell him I am bedridden and cannot get up."

"yes."

The servant left immediately.

They all knew what Wei Wenxuan was thinking. Most of the guards who went to ask for the gifts had returned one after another, and the news that Wei Wenxuan had stolen the lady's dowry to give as gifts must have spread by now.

If he doesn't ask for leave, he'll be drowned in people's spittle.

Wei Wenxuan felt as if all the bones in his body had been drained away; he slumped in the chair, utterly dejected.

He didn't know if he could handle the situation, after all, his current circumstances were vastly different from when he was in his prime.

After a long while, he finally found his voice and looked at Jiang Yu: "Your sister backed you up, are you happy now? The Wei family's reputation is ruined overnight, are you satisfied now?"

"Jiang Yu, you have achieved your goal. From now on, I will only live with you and will never take a concubine again!"

Jiang Yu had just punished the servants who had bullied her, and her smile returned; she seemed much better.

Upon hearing Wei Wenxuan's words, she felt as if she had been struck hard on the head, and she could no longer stand steadily.

In an instant, her face turned ashen, her eyes red-rimmed, and she couldn't even speak.

"girl!"

If it weren't for Liu's mother catching her, Jiang Yu would have fallen to the ground.

Wei Wenxuan then turned to Jiang Tian and said, "If you want her to divorce me, that's absolutely impossible. Don't worry, I mistreated her in the past, but I will definitely treat her well in the future. You've turned my house upside down today, so it's time for you to leave. See you out!"

Jiang Tian covered her lips with a handkerchief, looked at Wei Wenxuan and smiled: "There's nothing I can't do if I want to. I never intended to talk about divorce with you today, so there's no need for you to be angry."

Then she looked at Jiang Yu: "Jiang Yu has been unable to recover from her illness at the Wei family's house. She must have offended some evil spirit. We sisters haven't seen each other for many years. I'll take her to stay at the estate for a while to recuperate."

"Jinxiu, my dear niece, your aunt would like to spend more time with you. Please come with me."

After saying that, she instructed, "Prepare the carriage. We won't disturb Lord Wei's recuperation any longer."

"yes."

Wei Wenxuan watched coldly as Jiang Tian issued orders, without saying a word.

Before going to his study, he coldly told Jiang Tian, ​​"As long as I don't release her, Jiang Yu will always be the legal wife of the Wei family."

Jiang Tian smiled gently at him: "Your awareness is excellent."

Encountering her, Wei Wenxuan's face turned pale, and he felt as if he was about to vomit blood from anger. Finally, he stopped talking and left without looking back.

……………………

Upon arriving at the estate, Jiang Yu fainted.

Her illness was not fully cured to begin with, and Wei Wenxuan's provocation only made it worse.

Jiang Tian asked the doctor to rewrite the prescription and personally administered the medicine to her. She didn't wake up until evening.

Seeing Jiang Tian and Wei Jinxiu watching over her, Jiang Yu's eyes welled up with tears: "Sister, why did Wei Wenxuan treat me like that?"

Jiang Tian said calmly, "It's his bad character that's the problem, it has nothing to do with you, you don't need to feel sorry for yourself."

Jiang Yu remained pale, and the words Wei Wenxuan had spoken to her still stung her heart.

Jiang Tian sighed softly, sat down on the edge of the bed, and pulled her into his arms.

Jiang Yu smelled the warm, sweet fragrance that she had known since childhood, and could no longer hold back, bursting into tears.

Wei Jinxiu watched quietly from the side, unsure how to comfort her mother.

In her past life, she was also rejected by her husband.

Fortunately, the bed was big enough. After Jiang Yu finished crying and the three of them finished their meal, they lay down on the same bed.
