Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

Old Lady Shang looked a little dazed when she heard this. After a long while, she said, "I do want revenge. If the prince is capable and can gain a foothold in the struggle for the world, I would be happy to ask him for help."

After that, she stared at Chen Changli inexplicably, her tone full of scrutiny: "But you didn't answer my question clearly, so in this chaotic world, you can't guarantee that the prince can become the final winner."

Chen Changli heard this and said without hesitation: "Victory is easier said than done. Moreover, Chang Xuewei intends to turn everyone in the world into a weirdo. If there is no way to stop her, not to mention the crown prince, even the others will become puppets in Chang Xuewei's hands."

Old Lady Shang remained calm and said, "If you are willing to join the New Heaven Society, how can you become a puppet with your abilities?"

"Then why do you ask the prince for help?" Chen Changli asked immediately.

Old Mrs. Shang was stunned by this question and her face changed.

Listening to the conversation between the two, Jiang Xuan suddenly realized something. He looked at Old Lady Shang in disbelief, and then stared at Chen Changli in surprise.

Seeing that he was calm and composed, not at all panicked, Jiang Xuan put his hands on his chest and slowly exhaled.

"It seems I'm overthinking it." He said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Old Lady Shang couldn't bear to see him look relaxed, so she mocked him directly, "You guessed right. In addition to wanting to avenge my husband, I also wanted to come here with a clean record and leave with a clean conscience. But Chang Xuewei's mind is too scary, so I had no choice but to choose to help a few princes."

She realized that Chen Changli was a tough nut to crack and had guessed her thoughts. After all kinds of thoughts turned over in her mind, she felt that there was no need to hide it from Chen Changli, so as not to make him feel resentful.

"I am most optimistic about the Sixth Prince. After all, you have seen how powerful the Fire Thunder Bomb is. The Sixth Prince has it. If no other prince is capable of researching the Fire Thunder Bomb, he will be the final winner."

"If I help him, I will be able to gain the merit of following the dragon and have a good old age in the future."

"I never thought that the Sixth Prince possessed such a powerful weapon as the Fire Bomb. He even set his sights on Afurong."

When talking about opium, Old Lady Shang's tone was filled with anger, as if the birth of opium was an insult to her, making her wish she could turn into a volcano and destroy all opium.

"Ofurong was originally developed by my husband to save people. It was supposed to be a miracle drug, but after the people from the New Heaven Society found out, they actually used it in their research on Phoenix Gu."

"Then I don't know how they did it, but they turned opium into an evil thing that confuses people's minds and destroys their sanity."

"My husband was killed by the New Heaven Society because he tried to stop this, and my granddaughter was implicated and brutally murdered."

"By the time I knew the truth, I had already been bewitched into joining the New Heaven Society and almost betrayed the Sixth Prince."

After speaking out what she had kept in her heart for a long time, not only did Mrs. Shang not feel relieved, but she became even more miserable. The bitterness and grief that had been suppressed for a long time turned into two lines of tears that rolled down her cheeks, making her look very pitiful.

Wan Shufang was a little surprised when she saw this, but she showed no emotion on her face. She just stared at her calmly, as if evaluating whether her words were true or false.

Old Mrs. Shang noticed Wan Shufang's gaze and quickly glanced at her out of the corner of her eye. Finding that she had no sympathy or pity for her, her heart suddenly shuddered and she became a little alert.

Then she thought that the subtle fragrance on Chen Changli's body had not yet faded, and it was right for Wan Shufang to be wary of her and guard against her, so Old Lady Shang suppressed the inexplicable emotion in her heart.

She shook her head at Wan Shufang, and then stared at Chen Changli intently, as if Chen Changli's next answer would change the relationship between them.

Wan Shufang noticed her mood change, her brows unconsciously frowned, and her lips moved slightly, as if she wanted to say something, but half a day passed and she didn't say a word.

Chen Changli noticed that her emotions were a little subtle. He held her hand tightly, but his mind was in a storm. After a long while, he said, "You and your wife have had a close relationship with the Sixth Prince from the beginning. After your husband died, the people from the New Heaven Society came to you. At that time, you had already guessed that the New Heaven Society was the one who killed your husband, so you chose to join the New Heaven Society and wait for an opportunity for revenge."

"As for the opium secret recipe that the Sixth Prince wanted, I think you were ready to give it to him from the beginning. The reason you delayed it was because you found that opium had the same effect as the medicine your husband was researching."

Chen Changli said this, looking at Old Lady Shang calmly, but his tone contained a hint of melancholy: "Old Lady Shang, you still have a conscience, I should be happy, but you are evasive in your words, it seems that you want to use us, so I can't be happy, but I have to be wary of your actions."

"Don't you know what I'm thinking? Why are you saying it now? Do you think what I'm saying now is just a lie?" Old Mrs. Shang looked incredulous.

She spoke so sincerely and even told him nine true and one false things, so why did Chen Changli still doubt her?

"I believe what you said is true, but your sincerity is not enough." Chen Changli understood Mrs. Shang's plan, but he also knew how harmful opium was.

Knowing that the secret recipe for making opium fell into the hands of Old Lady Shang, he naturally had to find a way to destroy the secret recipe and let Old Lady Shang cooperate in destroying opium. Only then would he be willing to truly believe that Old Lady Shang was eager for revenge.

"You are really a person who doesn't want to suffer any loss at all." Realizing that Chen Changli needed her to make a promise, Old Lady Shang raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and her heavy mood was relieved a little.

"This is not a loss, it's about the life and death of all the people in the world." Chen Changli didn't want Old Lady Shang to think of him that way, so he said earnestly.

"There is no difference between the two. After all, I am not you and you are not me. We are destined to be incompatible with each other, unless there are huge benefits in front of us that make us each take a step back." Old Lady Shang also put on a formal attitude and wanted to negotiate with Chen Changli.

She thought that she had enough benefits to impress Chen Changli, so Chen Changli should also offer conditions that would move her.

Wan Shufang's heart was filled with alarm, and she immediately said in a cold voice: "Let's both take a step back? Old lady Shang, don't try to get something for nothing here."

The expression on Mrs. Shang's face was very cold: "Wan Shufang, you have a misunderstanding of me, and I am willing to clear up the misunderstanding for you now, but I don't know if you can accept it?"

Wan Shufang heard her implication and smiled coldly, "If I did misunderstand you before, now I think you are not worth it. After all, your mind is like a mess, and you insist on making us guess."

"We are not the worms in your stomach, how can we guess what you are thinking? Old lady Shang, if you want to negotiate, you must be sincere and not force Chen Changli to give in."
