Jiang Xuan didn't dare to imagine that scene and quickly shut up.

Chen Changli's mood gradually became complicated, but after hearing the conversation between Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan, his emotions calmed down.

"Lin Jing and Wen Baicao have met, but Wen Baicao did not tell the Eighth Prince where Lin Jing is."

"Although I don't know what his intentions are, judging from this incident, his malicious intentions are not so obvious."

"So when he comes tomorrow, we can have a good talk with him."

After Chen Changli said this, Wan Shufang felt a little hesitant, but since Lin Jing had indeed not been discovered by anyone, she shouldn't worry too much about it.

Thinking this in her heart, Wan Shufang nodded to Chen Changli: "Indeed, we should do this, but before that we have to test the attitude of the Eighth Prince."

"If the Eighth Prince has a different understanding of him, our affairs might be taken advantage of."

Although Wan Shufang felt relieved, she was too worried and had to remind Chen Changli.

Chen Changli took her words to heart, thought about it carefully, and said, "I will pay attention to this matter. If there are any problems, I will discuss it with the Eighth Prince."

At present, it seems that the Eighth Prince does not have much ill will towards them, and the Eighth Prince has his own things to focus on. As long as he seizes the opportunity, he can completely help the Eighth Prince break the impasse.

As Chen Changli thought about this, his thoughts gradually calmed down. He then comforted Wan Shufang and Jiang Xuan, asking them not to worry about the matter anymore and to cheer up to deal with Wen Baicao tomorrow.

The two knew the seriousness of the matter, adjusted their emotions immediately, and then waited quietly for tomorrow to come.

Wen Baicao, who was waiting for them, had already seen the Eighth Prince and bluntly told Chen Changli and the other two about their misunderstanding of him. Then he sighed, "I had good intentions, but I didn't expect that the couple would be so defensive."

The Eighth Prince was willing to meet Wen Baicao because he was close to Tu Zhizhi and also provided him with a large amount of money.

He not only needs people, but also money.

Although he looked down on and despised Wen Baicao for giving him money, he was willing to put in some superficial efforts to win his heart, but he didn't expect that he would bring him such news.

"Chen Changli is a noble man, so he naturally won't take your words seriously. However, you are so sure about what you said, so even if he doesn't want to believe it, he has to test you."

"I think you parted on bad terms, most likely because your conversation was not candid enough."

When the Eighth Prince said the last sentence, he stared at Wen Baicao with extremely sharp eyes, and said in a slightly cold tone: "This prince asked you to go to them because he wanted you to make a deal, but I didn't expect you to talk to them about so many things."

"Wen Baicao, are your words true or false? This prince really wants to confirm this, so you have to tell the truth. If you are telling lies, I will make you wish you were dead without the couple slandering you."

The eighth prince was very calm when he said this.

Wen Baicao was surprised when he saw this.

When meeting the Eighth Prince's unusually sharp gaze, Wen Baicao looked innocent.

"Your Highness, I said that because the couple's attitude was very annoying, so I wanted to play a trick on them and make them unable to sleep or eat."

The Eighth Prince's brows were filled with coldness: "You can make them angry, and you came here at this time. I think your words are nine out of ten true and one out of ten false."

The Eighth Prince tapped his fingers on the table, his thoughts racing, as if some secret was about to be revealed to him.

He was eager to get to the bottom of the secret, but Wen Baicao's attitude was too unpredictable, and he couldn't help feeling unhappy.

"I dare not lie to you." Wen Baicao put himself in a very humble manner, acting as if he was loyal to the Eighth Prince.

The Eighth Prince found this funny.

If Wen Baicao was really loyal to him, she should have made things clear to him instead of being ambiguous and leaving him guessing.

However, thinking that Wen Baicao was introduced to him by Tu Zhizhi, the Eighth Prince could understand Wen Baicao's meaning. After all, Tu Zhizhi was imprisoned in the Sky Prison by him, and it was normal for her people to react after knowing this.

"Old Nine's people did sneak in, and my side was almost infiltrated. It was Ye Yun who acted decisively and trapped these people."

"But they are hiding very deeply, and Ye Yun cannot determine their identities in a short time, so you have to go and meet Tu Zhizhi."

The Eighth Prince didn't want to dwell on Wen Baicao's matter, so he changed the subject directly.

"What kind of conflict do Tu Zhizhi and Li Ye have, and why did they end up in such a mess? Although I am concerned, I also know that they can't explain it."

"Besides, Li Ye doesn't even care about his own daughter, so how could he care about his own life? Therefore, if the matter between him and Tu Zhizhi continues to be deadlocked, the only one who will suffer is Tu Zhizhi."

"When you go to see her this time, you have to find out what kind of conflict there is between them? Then cooperate with Ye Yun to catch all of Lao Jiu's people."

"If Tu Zhizhi finds anything during this period, you must keep a close eye on her and report it to me. Don't act on your own."

After the Eighth Prince had said this, he asked Wen Baicao to leave, and he went to the city gate to observe the Ninth Prince's layout.

Wen Baicao saw him off, then sat for a while, and when the time was almost up, she went to see Tu Zhizhi, but she didn't expect to run into the scene of Li Ye committing suicide.

"What's going on?" Wen Baicao was startled.

He had just been sent here by the Eighth Prince, so how come he encountered such a thing?

What should the Eighth Prince do if he has a misunderstanding? He can't just rely on his eloquence to make someone dead look alive.

"Died for fear of crime." Tu Zhizhi had a complicated expression.

She and Li Ye were locked up together, but Li Ye was like a sealed gourd. No matter how she shouted or threatened, he was unwilling to reveal a word.

But his expression seemed very calm, as if he had already anticipated his own end and was facing his death calmly.

His attitude was too calm. After Tu Zhizhi's anger subsided and she regained her senses, she understood why he did such a thing.

She originally wanted to appeal to Li Ye's emotions and reason with him, and ask him to give her a warning so as to avoid some crises. However, she never expected that he would commit suicide in front of her.

"Isn't this possible?" Wen Baicao deliberately raised her voice.

Tu Zhizhi's face was slightly cold: "Nothing is impossible. My family was taken advantage of and I was powerless to save them. I could only harm others in order to keep my family safe."

This was her favorite method, but she never expected that it would backfire one day.

She just felt that the person who plotted against her was someone who hated her to the core, otherwise why would he use such means to retaliate against her.

"Wen Baicao, have you seen the Eighth Prince before you came? What did he say?" Tu Zhizhi was very unwilling and couldn't help staring at Wen Baicao, hoping that he would bring her good news.

Wen Baicao did not hide anything and directly told the Eighth Prince about his suspicions. He then said, "The Eighth Prince believes you, but the Ninth Prince's men have not been caught, so he dare not act rashly."

Tu Zhizhi's face was full of sarcasm when she heard this: "Is he afraid to act rashly, or does he want to teach me a lesson? I'm afraid only he knows."
