Chapter 2169: Shu Yu's Doubts

Xiang Weinan believed that even if County Princess Jiahui intended to harm Xiao Shi, she would not openly approach her. Instead, she would find ways to create accidents discreetly.

Even if the Xiao family wasn't of noble birth, County Princess Jiahui wouldn't want to take lives recklessly. Their target was Xiao Shi, and they wouldn't want to cause problems for her parents.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi nodded, choosing not to reveal the true reason for her return to the Marquis's residence to her parents. She didn't want to worry them unnecessarily.

Xiao Shi's parents had no objections; they supported her decision to return to the Marquis's residence. They knew that their family was no match for the Xiang family's influence. With Xiang Weinan by her side, their daughter would be safe from harm.

Shu Yu, watching their interactions, couldn't help but feel something was amiss.

In a hushed tone, Ying Xi asked, "Miss, is something bothering you? Do you have any questions?"

Shu Yu replied softly, "In theory, my sister has always wanted to divorce Xiang Weinan. Now that she's heard someone might harm her in order to take Madam Xiang's place, she could use this as a perfect reason to request a divorce from Xiang Weinan. But why does it seem like she hasn't even mentioned it?"

Ying Xi widened her eyes slightly and asked, "Miss, do you want Xiang Weinan and Madam Xiang to divorce?"

Shu Yu's brain almost short-circuited. "Of course not! I just find it strange and wanted to raise the question."

Ying Xi cleared her throat and said cautiously, "Miss, if you don't mind me asking, do you have any feelings for Xiang Weinan?"

Shu Yu blushed instantly, her face redder than a tomato. "Nonsense! Why would you think that? I just think my sister's behavior is unusual."

Ying Xi raised her hands defensively, "Alright, alright, I was just asking."

At that moment, Xiao Shi called out, "Ah Yu, get in the carriage. Let's take the same carriage, and we can chat along the way."

"Coming."

Shu Yu helped her sister into the carriage. While the exterior of the Xiao family's carriage was simple, the interior was luxurious. However, when it came to comfort, Shu Yu's personal carriage was superior.

Shu Yu had modified her own carriage with her father's approval, ensuring it had excellent suspension, a spacious interior, a sturdy build, and a logical layout. It was much more comfortable to ride in than most carriages.

They didn't waste any more time and, after packing up, said their goodbyes to Xiao Shi's parents. Then they headed straight for the city gates.

On the way, Xiao Shi asked about Shu Yu's recent experiences and shared what had happened to her over the past year.

When she had returned to the capital last year, she had proposed divorcing Xiang Weinan. Although her parents were surprised by her decision, they were secretly supportive. After all, without the Xiao family's constraints, Xiang Weinan could find a new wife in accordance with his own preferences.

Even Xiao Shi's parents had started looking for suitable candidates discreetly.

However, Xiang Weinan had not agreed to the divorce.

Currently, the Xiang family was prosperous and Xiang Weinan held considerable authority. Besides, this was his own marital affair. After a deep discussion with their son, the senior Xiangs hadn't interfered further.
