Chapter 2169 Shu Yu's Doubts
Xiang Weinan believed that even if Princess Jia Hui wanted to harm Xiao Ruojun, she would not dare to do it openly, but would only try to create an accident in secret.
Even if the Xiao family weren't ordinary commoners, the Grand Princess and her allies wouldn't dare to take lives so lightly. Their target was Xiao Ruojun; they wouldn't cause any trouble by targeting Xiao's parents.
Xiao Ruojun nodded upon hearing this, and went back to her room to tell her parents that she was going back to the Earl's Mansion. However, she did not explain the real reason, so as not to worry the two elders.
Xiao's parents naturally had no objections; they strongly agreed that Xiao Ruojun should go back with Xiang Weinan. Their daughter wanted to divorce her son-in-law, but the two elders did not want that.
The Xiao family is declining, but the Xiang family is at its peak. Xiang Weinan is a good person who will not mistreat his daughter. With him and the Xiang family protecting her, her daughter will not be bullied.
Xiao's parents quickly helped their daughter pack her things. When they came out after packing, they saw Shu Yu and realized that the county princess who had been taking care of their daughter in Dong'an Prefecture had actually come.
The two immediately thanked Shu Yu profusely and even invited him to stay for dinner at their home.
Shu Yu could only laugh awkwardly and reply, "I won't eat. It's getting late, and the city gates will close if we delay any longer. I didn't have time to tell my sister and brother-in-law when I left the city, and I was afraid they would worry."
Xiao's parents then gave up.
Xiang Weinan had already asked Hu Li and Wang Hong to help Xiao Ruojun carry her box onto the carriage, while Xiao Ruojun herself carried two bundles and put them on the carriage.
Shu Yu watched their retreating figures, touched her chin, and felt something was off.
Yingxi asked in a low voice, "Miss, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Shu Yu replied in a low voice, "Logically speaking, my sister-in-law has always wanted to divorce Xiang Weinan. Now that she heard that someone is trying to harm her in order to seize the position of Mrs. Xiang, wouldn't she have a ready-made reason to make Xiang Weinan agree to the divorce? How come my sister-in-law didn't even mention it?"
Ying Xi's eyes widened slightly. "Miss, do you wish for Master Xiang and Madam Xiang to divorce?"
Shu Yu flicked her forehead with a melon seed. "Of course I don't want that. I just found it strange and was just asking a question."
Yingxi shrank her neck, but fortunately Xiao Ruojun had already called her from the other side, "Ayu, get in the carriage, I'll share a carriage with you, and we can have a chat."
"They're here."
Shu Yu pulled her into his carriage. Although the Xiao family's carriages were simple on the outside but luxurious on the inside, Shu Yu's own carriage was more comfortable in terms of practicality.
Because they often had to travel long distances, Shuyu had discussed with her father about improving the carriage. The current carriage has better shock absorption, is spacious inside, has a sturdy cabin, and a reasonable layout, making it much more comfortable to ride in than most carriages.
Without delay, the group finished packing and said goodbye to Xiao's parents, heading straight for the city gate.
Xiao Ruojun asked Shu Yu about her experiences along the way, and also mentioned her own situation over the past year.
When she returned to Beijing last year, she brought up divorce with Xiang Weinan. Although Xiang's parents were surprised by Xiao Ruojun's decision, they were actually inclined to divorce her, since Xiang Weinan had been forced into marriage.
Now that the Xiao family is no longer a shackle, he can find another wife according to his own wishes.
Even Xiang's parents were secretly looking for a suitable candidate.
However, Xiang Weinan did not agree.
The Xiang family is now in charge of Xiang Weinan's marriage, and besides, this is Xiang Weinan's own marriage. Uncle Xiang values this promising son very much. After having a deep talk with his son, he stopped interfering.
