Chapter 2169: Chapter 2169: Shu Yu’s Confusion
Wei Nan believed that even if Princess Jiahui wanted to harm Xiao Ruojun, she wouldn’t dare to do it openly, but would find a way to secretly create an accident.
Not to mention, the Xiao Family is not ordinary common people, even if they were, the Great Princess and the others wouldn’t dare to take lives lightly. Their target is Xiao Ruojun, and they wouldn’t extend their reach to deal with Father Xiao and Mother Xiao.
Xiao Ruojun nodded at these words. She went back to the room to tell her parents she was going back to the Count Residence, but she didn’t explain the real reason, so as not to worry the elderly.
Father and Mother Xiao naturally had no objections; they very much agreed with Xiao Ruojun going back with Wei Nan. Their daughter wanted to separate from her husband, but the old couple didn’t wish for that.
The Xiao Family is no longer powerful, while the Xiang Family is at the peak of its power. Wei Nan is a good man who wouldn’t mistreat their daughter. With him and the Xiang Family’s protection, their daughter won’t be bullied.
Xiao Ruojun’s parents quickly helped their daughter pack her things. As they finished packing and came out, they saw Shu Yu, realizing only then that the county magistrate who had been taking care of their daughter in Dongan Province was here.
The couple immediately expressed gratitude to Shu Yu and insisted on having her stay for dinner.
Shu Yu could only smile wryly and respond, “I won’t have dinner, it’s late; if I delay further, the city gates will close. I didn’t have a chance to tell my sister and brother-in-law when I left, I fear they’ll worry.”
Only then did Xiao Ruojun’s parents relent.
Wei Nan had already asked Hu Li and Wang Hong to help carry Xiao Ruojun’s trunk to the carriage, while Xiao Ruojun herself lifted two parcels onto the vehicle.
Shu Yu watched their backs, touching her chin, feeling something strange.
Ying Xi whispered, “Miss, what’s wrong, is there a problem?”
Shu Yu replied softly, “Logically, sister-in-law has always wanted to separate from Wei Nan. Now hearing someone wants to harm her to fight for the position of Madam Xiang, hasn’t she got a ready-made reason to get Wei Nan to agree to the separation? Why does sister-in-law seem not to mention it at all?”
Ying Xi slightly widened her eyes, “Miss, do you hope Lord Xiang and Madam Xiang will separate?”
Shu Yu sent a melon seed flying over, “I certainly don’t hope so, I just find it strange and am raising the question.”
Ying Xi shrank her neck, but fortunately Xiao Ruojun already called her, “Yu, let’s get in the carriage. We’ll be together in a carriage, and we can chat.”
“Coming.”
Shu Yu pulled her to sit in her own carriage. Although the Xiao family’s carriage looked plain on the outside but was luxurious inside, for practicality, Shu Yu’s own carriage was more comfortable.
Since she often needed to travel long distances, Shu Yu had specially discussed with her father about modifying the carriage. The vehicle now had good shock absorption, was spacious inside, had a sturdy cabin, rational design, and was much more comfortable than most carriages.
The group didn’t delay. After tidying up, they bid farewell to Xiao Ruojun’s parents and headed straight to the city gate.
Xiao Ruojun asked about Shu Yu’s experiences during her journey, and also mentioned her situation over the past year.
Last year, upon returning to the Capital, she proposed separation from Wei Nan. The Xiang Family parents were surprised by Xiao Ruojun’s decision but were actually inclined towards their separation because Wei Nan had been pressured into the marriage.
Now, without the shackles of the Xiao Family, he could completely choose a new wife according to his own wishes.
The Xiang Family parents were even secretly looking for candidates.
However, Wei Nan did not agree.
Now, Wei Nan is in charge of the Xiang Family, especially as it concerns his own marriage. Uncle Xiang valued his successful son very much, and after a deep conversation with him, he no longer interfered.
