Wen Baicao ignored the murderous intent in Chen Changli's words and said with a bright smile: "Lin Jing's emotions are much more stable than yours. It seems that you have suffered a lot during this period of time."

Hearing his implication, Chen Changli's face changed slightly, then he straightened up and said with a gentle look: "The Crown Prince may be interested in you, but based on what you said, I don't think he will choose you."

"As for Lin Jing you mentioned, if we could meet, maybe I would be willing to believe you once."

Having said this, Chen Changli frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand Wen Baicao's intention.

If the prince really chose Wen Baicao, how could he let him reveal his identity so directly?

Moreover, Wen Baicao's tone when he mentioned the prince was quite strange, as if he was using him to test himself.

"I thought you would doubt me and expose my thoughts, but I didn't expect you to say such a thing. It seems that the relationship between the prince and you is indeed special, so much so that you can quickly judge some things through my attitude."

Wen Baicao seemed to have obtained the emotional change she wanted from Chen Changli, and immediately laughed out loud.

"Lin Jing is not as good as you, but he is better than you in one respect, that is, he can let go and even plans to win me over."

"If I hadn't been filled with hatred and unable to accept his solicitation, I would really be the prince's man now. You shouldn't be on guard against me."

After hearing this, Chen Changli became more certain that there was something wrong with Wen Baicao, and that he said so many things just to test him.

"Shopkeeper Wen, although the Crown Prince and the other princes have the same father, the Crown Prince has a very strained relationship with these princes because of the different treatments they received since childhood."

"That's why some of your schemes can't be used on the prince. If you don't believe this and insist on plotting against the prince, and even want to involve me, I can only do my best to stop you."

Chen Changli's tone was very gentle, as if he was just giving Wen Baicao a suggestion and had no intention of threatening him.

Wen Baicao understood what he meant and suddenly sighed, "The Crown Prince is indeed different from other princes. Because of this, I helped him a lot. However, as more and more things happened and the situation became more chaotic, I had other ideas."

Wen Baicao paused for a moment and stared at Chen Changli thoughtfully, with an inexplicable certainty and confidence in his eyes: "I have money and ability. If you are willing, I will rescue you."

"When I meet the prince later, I will be able to convince him to trust me."

Listening to his confident words, Chen Changli couldn't help but feel a little strange: "If you have such an idea, then you should go to find the prince instead of coming to me."

Without waiting for Wen Baicao to speak, Chen Changli continued, "This is Prince Yong's Mansion, the Eighth Prince's territory. You must have the Eighth Prince's permission to come and see me."

"So in this situation, do you really think I will believe you? Or is the Eighth Prince really willing to believe you and have no defenses against you?"

When Chen Changli said this, he thought about how Wen Baicao came to him not long after the Eighth Prince left, and he suddenly felt displeased.

"Are you and the Eighth Prince teasing me?"

One left and another came, and deliberately mentioned the prince in front of him, as if using the prince to provoke him. This seemed a bit strange no matter how you thought about it.

How could Wen Baicao be so calm? Could it be that he was even more shameless than the Eighth Prince?

Chen Changli was thinking about all sorts of things in his mind, but his face was unusually calm, not letting anyone get a glimpse of his true emotions.

Wen Baicao observed him for a few seconds and said unhappily, "You are looking down on me and yourself."

Chen Changli shook his head and sighed: "You care about this, that's why you are so unhappy, but I don't care about this, so I can look at the problem rationally."

After saying that, he looked at Wen Baicao steadily and saw that there was no fluctuation on his face, as if no matter what he said, he would not take it to heart.

Chen Changli squeezed his hands and suppressed his inexplicable irritation. He lowered his voice and said, "I don't have anything else except the Phoenix Gu. I'm really scared that you suddenly took a fancy to me."

Wen Baicao heard the hidden meaning in his words, as if he was pointing at her, or as a warning, and immediately said with a smile: "Phoenix Gu is indeed a good thing. Not only is the Eighth Prince concerned about it, but I like it too."

"Unfortunately, I am not interested in this. You are disgusted by Phoenix Gu. If I mention it in front of you, it will be counterproductive."

"I am old now, and what I want most is to enjoy my old age, but my descendants are not up to the standard, so I have to drag my old bones to deal with several princes."

"In other words, I feel that you and I are in a similar situation, so I came to see you and discuss a medicinal materials business with your wife."

"Relax, you and your wife are no different from my children and grandchildren in my eyes, so I won't hurt you unless it involves my own interests."

Wen Baicao sighed and stated his purpose.

Chen Changli said coldly, "The herbs my husband and I collected for you before are enough for you to use for several years. Now, in less than half a month, you want another batch of herbs. Why do I feel like you are using herbs to make excuses?"

Emphasizing the last few words, Chen Changli smiled, but his eyes were cold enough to freeze a person's soul. "I like to get straight to the point, but you like to beat around the bush. I think there's nothing we can talk about."

After he said that, he got up and went back to his room, no longer paying attention to Wen Baicao.

"Wait!" Seeing that Chen Changli was really about to leave, Wen Baicao hurriedly shouted.

Chen Changli didn't want to pay any attention to him and just walked forward.

Wen Baicao was surprised to see that he had such a bad temper, and then hurried forward to stop him.

"I was just joking with you, why did you take it so seriously?"

"Although Lin Jing can't stand jokes, he's very stable. Haven't you worked with him for a while? Why haven't you learned his temper?"

Wen Baicao had a helpless look on his face, but the accusations never stopped.

Chen Changli never expected that he would compare himself with Lin Jing, and he immediately laughed in anger: "Manager Wen, who do you think I am?"

"Are you still angry?" Wen Baicao asked knowingly.

Chen Changli was choked by his words and almost couldn't control his emotions.

After a while, he said coldly, "I used to think that the Eighth Prince was the most shameless person I've ever seen, but I never thought that there are always people who are better than you."

Knowing that he was mocking her, Wen Baicao was not angry at all. On the contrary, he was very happy. "If you can be angry with me, it means that my words have touched your heart."

"What exactly are you going to do? Just to see me angry?" Upon hearing this, Chen Changli immediately restrained his expression and asked in a calm tone.

Wen Baicao shook her head: "I just wanted to find out your bottom line and then prescribe the right medicine, but I didn't expect that you would care about the prince so much that you would doubt me without even thinking about my words."

Chen Changli felt that he was confusing right and wrong, and said bluntly: "You are not honest, and your words are full of sarcasm. If I think about your words carefully, won't I be mad at you?"
