The main force was definitely outside the city, but the soldiers who had only left the city were all in high spirits and looked very imposing.

The soldiers' families also accompanied them out of the city.

The family members all had tears in their eyes.

Even so, they all followed from a distance, and not one of them went up to stop the soldiers.

After the soldiers left the city, those who had come to see them off gradually returned home.

Qi Zhiyu finished her breakfast while watching the commotion.

It was worth getting up so early; sure enough, there was a rift between Jiang Baihua and Wei Yifeng.

One of the most effective ways to defeat an enemy is to disintegrate them from within.

So far, it's going quite smoothly.

After watching the show to her heart's content, Qi Zhiyu took her maid downstairs and went for a stroll elsewhere.

However, as soon as she reached the carriage, she saw Jiang Shuyi waiting for her.

"Princess," Jiang Shuyi bowed.

"Hmm." Qi Zhiyu responded casually and was about to get into the carriage.

"Princess, please wait," Jiang Shuyi said. "This humble woman wishes to speak with Your Highness. Would Your Highness be so kind as to speak privately for a moment?"

The carriage was parked in a back alley, where there weren't many people.

Qi Zhiyu nodded: "Go ahead and speak."

"Princess, we are both women. This world is already harsh on women. Why do you have to make things difficult for me, a fellow woman?" Jiang Shuyi complained aggrievedly.

Qi Zhiyu looked at Jiang Shuyi in surprise and asked, "Jiang Shuyi, have you always been like this, criticizing others for no reason?"

"Oh, right, that's how you used to morally blackmail me back then."

"Do you think this method is quite effective, so you use it for everything?"

Jiang Shuyi asked in surprise, "Princess, what are you talking about? I don't understand."

"I simply feel that, as women, the princess and I should be able to understand each other's difficulties as women."

Qi Zhiyu lowered her head slightly, then pressed her forehead with her fingers and sighed painfully, "Is this how Wei Guogong taught you?"

"Princess, what do you mean by this?" Jiang Shuyi frowned. "This humble woman has no intention of disrespecting Your Highness."

"Wei Guogong teaches you all the time, but instead of teaching you anything decent, he teaches you these despicable methods?" Qi Zhiyu was very confused.

"Don't you think this kind of low-level verbal attack, belittling and suppressing, and using the other person's morality to bind them is utterly despicable?"

Qi Zhiyu asked with exceptional seriousness, but Jiang Shuyi felt extremely offended: "Princess, I am speaking to you about serious matters."

"Why do you humiliate me like this?"

Qi Zhiyu let out a long sigh and clicked her tongue, saying, "Jiang Shuyi, has your approach always been that of a woman confined to the inner quarters?"

"Didn't your grandfather tell you not to mess with me?"

Jiang Shuyi looked at Qi Zhiyu in astonishment: "Princess, I only wanted to..."

"Don't even think about it," Qi Zhiyu interrupted Jiang Shuyi bluntly. "Aren't you just trying to morally blackmail me and make me feel guilty?"

"Jiang Shuyi, you've known me for so long... what did I do to give you this misconception?"

Jiang Shuyi glanced at Qi Zhiyu quickly, looking aggrieved: "The princess is not someone to be bullied. Besides, I haven't bullied the princess at all."

"It's not about bullying, it's more..." Qi Zhiyu asked, rather puzzled, "Why do you think I'm a moral person?"

Jiang Shuyi was stunned.

Qi Zhiyu was increasingly puzzled: "Guilt... do you think I even possess it?"

Jiang Shuyi was stunned.

Qi Zhiyu looked Jiang Shuyi up and down with amusement: "You've suffered so many losses at my hands, how come you still haven't learned your lesson?"

"Your crying and wailing tactics to try and elicit sympathy won't work on me."

"How do you manage to keep trying despite repeated failures, without ever learning a single lesson?"

Jiang Shuyi's face instantly turned as if a dye vat had been broken, alternating between green and blue, looking extremely unsightly.

"First of all, the issue between you and me isn't about men and women at all," Qi Zhiyu sneered.

"It's a matter of life and death between two opposing sides."

"At a time like this, you're talking to me about women making things difficult for other women?"

Jiang Shuyi gritted her teeth.

Qi Zhiyu looked at her amusedly: "What exactly are you thinking?"

"Princess, do you know how miserable I am right now? I..." Jiang Shuyi questioned.

Qi Zhiyu didn't even give her a chance to finish: "What does your misery have to do with me?"

"If it weren't for the princess, how could I have ended up in this state?" Jiang Shuyi said angrily.

"You misunderstood me. What I meant was that no matter how miserable you are, it means nothing to me. In fact, the more miserable you are, the happier I am," Qi Zhiyu sighed.

"I have never seen anyone sympathize with the enemy or wish them well."

"Isn't this person sick?"

"If the opponent has an easier time, doesn't that mean you'll have an harder time?"

"Are there really such idiots as to sacrifice themselves for the benefit of the enemy?"

Qi Zhiyu chuckled and pointed to herself: "Jiang Shuyi, you're the kind of idiot you are, don't assume everyone else is like that, okay?"

"Princess, you..." Jiang Shuyi glared at Qi Zhiyu, her face flushed.

She was so angry that her chest hurt and her vision went black.

She had prepared a whole host of questions to ask Qi Zhiyu.

Who would have thought that Qi Zhiyu would be so shameless, lacking even the basic morals of a human being.

"I don't need your help, it's mine." Qi Zhiyu directly stated Jiang Shuyi's purpose.

"You've just fallen out with Wei Yifeng, and you feel uncomfortable in the Wei family, so you're blaming me."

"But what does all this have to do with me? It was your grandfather who wanted to keep it a secret, and it was your Chiang family who wanted the benefits."

"Wei Yifeng and the King of Wu are wary of you, but that's a matter between your allies. Why are you coming here to criticize me?"

Qi Zhiyu truly couldn't understand Jiang Shuyi's thinking: "Do you expect me to solve your problems?"

"Let our whole family die to fulfill your marriage, your family's wishes?"

"What's wrong with your brain that you'd come up with such an absurd idea?"

Jiang Shuyi was speechless when asked the question. What she was good at was completely useless in front of Qi Zhiyu.

In the past, others would have been ashamed by her words.

Why is Qi Zhiyu so self-righteous?

"Princess, you really are..." Jiang Shuyi wanted to say more.

Qi Zhiyu simply interrupted her: "Alright, who I am is none of your business, and you don't need to define me."

"Instead of wasting your time, you should go back and think about what path you want to take in the future."

"Princess, aren't you afraid of being isolated if you do this?" Jiang Shuyi threatened.

"No one would befriend someone as ruthless as the princess!"
