Wei Wenxuan's face was ashen.

He couldn't deny what Jiang Tian had said.

Princess Jing'an was alright to him, but to say she completely ignored Xi'er was an understatement.

He stopped her, thus sparing her from killing.

However, he was not spared any punishment.

If Jinxiu goes back, he might be the one to suffer again.

However, he felt unwilling to leave without bringing his daughter back.

He stared at Jiang Tian: "Then settle her in the house outside our mansion. After all, she is my daughter."

Jiang Tian brushed the dust off her clothes, picked up a towel to wipe her face, and said lazily, "What you're saying is quite interesting. What property does your Wei family still have? The divorce was agreed upon by both of us. You have to return all of Jiang Yu's dowry. The houses outside the mansion all belong to Jiang Yu. How are they yours?"

"Lord Wei is already quite old, why does he still like to take other people's things for himself?"

Wei Wenxuan's face turned pale and purple, and he was trembling so much that he couldn't say a word.

He had long been accustomed to using Jiang Yu's dowry, so how could he have guessed that one day they would also have a day of divorce?

After marrying the princess, he didn't know how to make money.

"I've said everything I needed to say. You'd better leave now, or I'll inform the princess that you're still hung up on your divorced wife and insist on staying here."

Wei Wenxuan really wished he could kill Jiang Tian with a single blow.

Unfortunately, her guards were no pushovers.

After a long while, he finally managed to leave the village, despite the suffocating pain that had been causing him chest pain.

Less than a month later, Wei Wenxuan married Princess Jing'an.

The wedding was a grand and lavish affair.

Princess Jing'an had finally found a man who suited her, and Prince Huai was also satisfied, so he naturally wanted to marry off his daughter in a grand and glorious manner.

He gave his daughter a dowry of several hundred loads, which was even more extravagant than Jiang Yu's dowry.

Wei Wenxuan went from being a down-on-his-luck civil official to a highly sought-after son-in-law of a prince.

He also turned his career around in the officialdom, and soon rose from the seventh rank to the sixth rank.

Once his theft of his wife's dowry is completely covered up, his official position will definitely be promoted.

At this moment, Wei Wenxuan seemed to have returned to the days of his youthful triumph.

Many of his colleagues even envied him, as he managed to turn his fortunes around after his second marriage.

As for Wei Wenxuan's first wife, she has long been tacitly forgotten.

That princess was extremely domineering by nature, and it was said that she did not allow anyone in the mansion to mention Jiang Yu.

Why would they deliberately make themselves unhappy?

As for Wei Jinxiu, who was placed on the estate to recuperate, she was also forgotten by everyone.

The first thing Princess Jing'an did after entering the house was to drive out all of Wei Wenxuan's concubines and illegitimate daughters.

The concubines were sold off directly, while the illegitimate daughter, Wei Xi, was sent to a small estate owned by the princess to make do.

It is said that Wei Xi wanted to rebel, cried incessantly, and even tried to call for help from outside, but the princess wouldn't listen to a word she said.

No one can stop her from doing what she wants.

Wei Wenxuan, who usually dotes on his daughter, didn't dare to say a word and looked like a complete coward.

In the blink of an eye, the Wei residence became Princess Jing'an's personal fiefdom.

No one can surpass her, including Wei Wenxuan.

Fortunately, Wei Wenxuan was much better off in the Hanlin Academy, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to tolerate it.

The Wei family seemed to have regained its former glory, but an even greater danger was brewing.

As for Jiang Yu, she was driven out of the capital by Jiang Tian.
