The whole family is obsessed with love? The princess woke them up one after another.

How could he have married such an idiot?

If it weren't for restraining Prince Rui... why would he have let such a useless person into the house?

Wei Chengjiang's face was grim, and Tang Jingrou was too frightened to speak.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shuyi had already reached the outskirts of the city.

She gave the escorting officers some silver before she was able to speak with Jiang Baihua.

"Father," Jiang Shuyi handed the bundle to Jiang Baihua, "Take care on your journey."

"Once you arrive, you'll have to rely on yourself for everything."

Jiang Baihua said with a wry smile, "Your grandfather should be able to handle things locally, so you don't need to worry about your father."

"As for you, you'd better be more careful around the Wei family in the future."

"The current situation between the Jiang family and the King of Wu..."

"Father," Jiang Shuyi interrupted Jiang Baihua, "I have no connection with the Jiang family anymore."

Jiang Baihua was taken aback: "What do you mean by that?"

"My grandfather has already expelled me from the Chiang family and removed my name from the family genealogy. I am no longer a member of the Chiang family."

Jiang Baihua was furious: "Why is this happening? You've been kicked out of the Jiang family; how will you face the Wei family from now on?"

Didn't his father consider this?

"Father, because of what happened to you, the entire Jiang family has been implicated. How could Grandfather possibly care about me?" Jiang Shuyi said with a bitter smile.

"Father, after today's parting, I'm afraid we'll never see each other again. Father, you must take good care of yourself."

Jiang Baihua was completely stunned as he looked at his daughter, who was crying her eyes out.

Overwhelming rage surged to his head, and Jiang Baihua's eyes turned a bloodthirsty red.

No matter how much he used Jiang Zhongming, he was still a military general.

He had also killed people on the battlefield.

He may not be as good as Jiang Zhongming, but that doesn't mean he lacks ability.

"Brilliant, truly brilliant!" Applause erupted, and Qi Zhiyu's teasing voice caused Jiang Shuyi and Jiang Baihua's expressions to change drastically.

They both looked up at the same time.

Qi Zhiyu was sitting leisurely on a tree branch, swinging her legs and looking at them with a smile.

Her amused expression only made Jiang Baihua, who was already furious, even more irritated.

"Eavesdropping? Princess, where is your royal upbringing?" Jiang Baihua asked coldly.

Qi Zhiyu chuckled: "I arrived before you."

"Your conversation is disturbing our enjoyment of the scenery."

"You guys?" Jiang Baihua immediately noticed the unusual word.

Who else?

Qi Zhiyu looked at the tall branch beside her. The branch swayed, and a figure jumped down.

"Father?" Jiang Baihua was shocked.

"Grandfather?" Jiang Shuyi was so frightened that her hands and feet went cold.

At this moment, the Duke of Wei's expression was even more unpleasant and gloomy than Jiang Baihua's.

Jiang Baihua and Jiang Shuyi both had a clear message on their faces: What is he doing here?

Duke Wei said coldly, "If I weren't here, I wouldn't have known that you, Jiang Shuyi, are so capable."

Jiang Shuyi's eyes flickered, unfocused: "Grandfather... what are you saying?"

"I'm just here to see my father off."

Jiang Baihua said in a deep voice, "Father, don't misunderstand."

"What did I misunderstand?" Duke Wei asked Jiang Baihua. "You were really good at pretending in front of me before."

"How come I never realized you were so stupid!"

Jiang Baihua's already unpleasant complexion became even more unbearable to look at.

"You're still not convinced?" Duke Wei saw through Jiang Baihua's resentment at a glance, and he became even angrier.

"Can't you see that Jiang Shuyi is using you to get you to take revenge on me!"

At the Duke of Wei's words, Jiang Shuyi looked up in surprise.

Then she realized that her reaction was wrong and quickly composed herself.

Jiang Baihua remained silent.

Duke Wei chuckled twice, all his anger turning into endless sorrow: "Jiang Baihua, my son, you are truly my good son!"

"Jiang Shuyi stirred things up a bit, and you're going to kill the officials halfway there and go back to take revenge on me, is that it?"

"Are you taking revenge for me not saving you, taking revenge for me kicking Jiang Shuyi out of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Baihua stared intently at the Duke of Wei, remaining silent.

"Father?" Jiang Shuyi looked at Jiang Baihua in disbelief.

Duke Wei was furious at Jiang Shuyi's reaction: "What are you pretending for?"

"Wasn't everything you just said just to provoke him?"

"Grandfather, no, I didn't." Jiang Shuyi shook her head and denied it outright.

The Duke of Wei sneered, "Don't call me grandfather. I don't have a cold-blooded and heartless granddaughter like you!"

Jiang Shuyi looked at Duke Wei with a dejected and heartbroken expression; she looked utterly pitiful.

But the Duke of Wei remained unmoved: "You came to see him off, didn't see any members of the Jiang family, and told him you were driven out by them. Wasn't that just to make him think he'd been abandoned by his family too?"

"The journey to exile was arduous, and the journey to the place of exile was exceptionally difficult."

"Even if he gets there, he might not be able to make it through."

"You've stirred up the hatred in his heart, making him turn back halfway, kill the Jiang family to avenge them, steal the silver, and then wander the world or find a place to hide!"

"Isn't this exactly what you wanted?"

Jiang Shuyi shook her head in a panic: "No, Grandfather, Duke Wei, I really didn't think that way."

The Duke of Wei completely ignored her and instead looked at Jiang Baihua: "Tell me, is that what you think?"

Jiang Baihua's eyes flickered.

Jiang Baihua was carefully cultivated by the Duke of Wei from a young age.

How could the Duke of Wei not understand him?

Although Jiang Baihua claimed credit for Jiang Zhongming's achievements, to be honest, if not compared to Jiang Zhongming, Jiang Baihua was also quite capable.

Otherwise, the Duke of Wei would not have believed that all those military achievements belonged to Jiang Baihua himself.

"After leaving the Jiang family, Jiang Shuyi felt that her life had completely lost its hope. She didn't want others to have an easy time either." The Duke of Wei became more and more heartbroken as he spoke.

"If you come back to ambush me, I'll be severely injured even if I don't die, especially since I'm caught off guard."

"Jiang Shuyi wants to use you to get back at me and vent her anger!"

"As for you, whether you go into hiding or live under an assumed name, she doesn't care."

"You treat her like a daughter, but she doesn't treat you like a father!"

Jiang Baihua looked at Jiang Shuyi with suspicion.

Just now, he did have that thought.

The Jiang family even kicked his daughter out and didn't come to see him off, which meant they completely abandoned him.

Without the Jiang family's help, even if he reached the place of exile, he would face extreme hardship.

Rather than suffering in such a cowardly way, it's better to do something decisive and efficient.

He took revenge on the Jiang family who abandoned him, robbed them of their money, and thus found a way out.

But... is his daughter really that cruel?

He even schemed against his own father?

"Dad, I really didn't think that way." Jiang Shuyi cried, feeling wronged.

"If you hadn't thought about it that way, why did you tell your father that you'd been expelled from the Jiang family? You could have just sent him gold and silver and let him travel in peace," the Duke of Wei questioned.
