Chen Changli immediately gave the person a written document.

When she saw Chen Changli signed the agreement and Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan did not try to stop him, there was a subtle change in Mrs. Shang's heart.

She was silent for a while and then said, "Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the people in Zaoyang County are going to hold a lantern festival tonight."

When Wan Shufang heard this, her brows furrowed, and she immediately thought of the few people they had captured during the day.

She immediately looked at Chen Changli and said with a smile: "I thought that after we were trapped here, those people who took opium would have no use. I didn't expect that Zaoyang County would hold a lantern festival."

Jiang Xuan's thoughts turned, and he immediately knew what Wan Shufang was going to do. He quickly said, "Leave it to me."

Chen Changli looked at the sky and thought it was about time, so he immediately took Jiang Xuan to deal with this matter.

Wan Shufang originally wanted to go with him, but Old Lady Shang said to her, "The subtle fragrance on Chen Changli's body is not easy to cure because some of the medicinal materials are very precious. However, I can tell you the prescription and let you research the antidote."

"Isn't there an antidote for Anxiang?" Wan Shufang thought of this instantly when she heard what Old Lady Shang said.

Old Lady Shang shook her head: "Anxiang was researched for the Sixth Prince. He doesn't need an antidote, so naturally I haven't researched it."

If she didn't want to gain the trust of Chen Changli and his wife, she would never have told them about Anxiang. Unfortunately, although Chen Changli and his wife cared about this matter, they were unwilling to agree to cooperate with her on this condition.

After understanding the couple's thoughts, Mrs. Shang did not feel any regret. After all, she did not have the antidote for Anxiang.

If Chen Changli wants to unlock the secret fragrance, Wan Shufang needs to study it on her own.

She just lamented that she couldn't get away with it and had to help them destroy Aphrodite.

"Madam Shang, do you really want to destroy Opium?" Wan Shufang couldn't help but ask after hearing what Madam Shang said.

Old Lady Shang listened to her question, her eyes flickered, and then she said with a smile: "Chen Changli believes me, why do you still doubt me? Wan Shufang, you should trust Chen Changli's judgment."

Hearing her use Chen Changli to block her, Wan Shufang knew that her decision to destroy Afurong was not sincere, but just a way to achieve superficial peace with Chen Changli.

"I have always believed in Chen Changli, but I was worried that he would be deceived by you. But now that I have heard your words, I know why Chen Changli downplayed it."

Wan Shufang shook her head and asked her for the secret recipe of Anxiang.

Old Mrs. Shang told her the truth and then took her to study the antidote.

By daybreak, the two worked together to develop an antidote.

At this time, Chen Changli and Jiang Xuan worked hard all night and finally exposed the ugly behavior of several people who took opium in front of many people. In order to remind them, they also specifically said that there are many people in this world who are ready to use opium to harm others.

The people who participated in the Lantern Festival were terrified and couldn't help but get close to Chen Changli, wanting to get his protection.

Chen Changli and Jiang Xuan spent most of the night calming down the people, and then guided them to spread the news.

They returned at dawn and asked anxiously, "Where is the magistrate of Zaoyang County? Did you kill him?"

Old Lady Shang didn't even blink: "Who has time to kill him? He was just a coward. He went straight to Jiang Kezhou and left Zaoyang County."

"Will Jiang Kezhou leave any survivors?" Jiang Xuan was a little skeptical.

Old Lady Shang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Jiang Kezhou has a plan, but his real purpose is to fight for the world. The county magistrate of Zaoyang County is at least capable, and he is not stupid. How could he want to wipe out the roots without even trying to win over people?"

When Jiang Xuan heard the words "eradicate the roots", his eyelids twitched slightly. Why did the words of Old Lady Shang sound a bit sarcastic?

Could he have heard it wrong? Thinking this in his heart, he locked his eyes with Old Lady Shang, but saw that she had already turned her attention to Chen Changli and talked to him about what to do next.

Jiang Xuan found that the two of them were talking happily and seemed to have the same ideas, so there was no need to test them any further.

He always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and quickly looked at Wan Shufang for help.

Wan Shufang received his eye contact and immediately shook her head at him.

Jiang Xuan was slightly stunned when he saw this.

What does shaking the head mean? Does Wan Shufang no longer doubt Old Lady Shang?

When Jiang Xuan thought of this possibility, his heart began to beat wildly.

He immediately came to Wan Shufang's side, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, because Old Lady Shang and Chen Changli had already discussed the matter at this moment.

If he asked Wan Shufang, it would only attract their attention.

He couldn't help but straighten his body and stare at Chen Changli, hoping that he could solve his doubts.

Chen Changli felt the gaze he was looking at and immediately looked at him, only to be met with pitiful eyes.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Changli frowned slightly, showing a little surprise.

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang quickly glanced at Jiang Xuan. Seeing how pitiful he looked, she suddenly felt an indescribable chill.

She hugged her arms and shook herself, then reached out and slapped him, saying unhappily, "Who are you doing this for?"

"For you two to see." Jiang Xuan said this as he slid his lips together.

Wan Shufang's face suddenly turned red: "Jiang Xuan, are you itching?"

"Haha, Jiang Xuan, you have questions but don't know how to ask them." Old Mrs. Shang saw through his thoughts at a glance and felt helpless in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

Jiang Xuan felt a little embarrassed when his thoughts were exposed.

He rubbed his face with his hand and said earnestly, "I do have doubts, but seeing that Mr. and Mrs. Chen Changli are not in a hurry, I feel that my doubts are not that important."

Old Lady Shang heard what he meant, thought for a moment and said, "Until I have my revenge, my words are true and can only be true."

"After I have taken my revenge, no matter what you think, I will not stop you, because I will go to see my old man and I don't want to live in this world and cause you trouble."

She said this sincerely, and her tone was more serious than ever before.

Chen Changli felt her sincere emotions and was sure that she was serious about what she said and there was no possibility of her lying.

He didn't say anything, only said to Wan Shufang: "The people are very angry, and it won't be long before the news about opium spreads everywhere. Jiang Xuan and I decided to take those people for a walk around."

"During this period, I will also collect medicinal materials and have them transported to Yongzhou."

When Wan Shufang heard about the medicinal materials, she immediately understood what he meant and said, "The manager said that he would contact Manager Wang on the fourth day. Now is the fourth day. I will go out with you to meet him and then discuss the collection of medicinal materials with him."

"How many medicinal herbs do you need? Maybe I can help." Old Mrs. Shang immediately interrupted the couple after listening to what they were saying.
