Hearing Tu Zhizhi's inexplicable tone, as if she was doubting her intentions, Wen Baicao said without hesitation: "The Ninth Prince has many capable people around him, and he can accommodate them."

"So the situation of being abandoned by a wealthy man will not happen to him in the short term. But it is different for the Eighth Prince. He has no one around him to use. At first, he will trust us and make use of us."

"But as time goes by, he will regard us as stains and try every means to get rid of us. By then, not only will our initial efforts be in vain, but we will also have to pay with our lives in the future."

"We only have one life in this world. I am a timid person who values ​​my life, so I chose you and your sister from among many people."

"I thought you and your sister would be my guiding light and give me everything I want in the future. But when I found out that Tu Yuanzhou was shackled by Quan Rong and He He, and you were ready to find another way out, I realized that I was wrong."

Wen Baicao's straightforward words completely revealed the shameful nature of Tu Zhizhi's actions during this period.

Tu Zhizhi couldn't help but gasp, and then stared at Wen Baicao with a vigilant look, looking at him as if he were a dead person, "You actually guessed my plan."

"Miss Tu did not hide anything. I thought you acted honestly and were not afraid of being suspected and held accountable. I didn't expect your reaction to be like this." Wen Baicao hinted at something.

Tu Zhizhi frowned, then smiled coldly and said, "I didn't hide it, but no one in the world would think so, but you thought so and said it in front of me."

After saying this word by word, Tu Zhizhi suddenly emphasized: "Wen Baicao, it turns out that you have the same betrayal intention as Li Ye."

Hearing the question in her voice, Wen Baicao was not panicked at all. He just smiled and said, "You have misunderstood me. After all, I have been Princess An Qing's man from the beginning. It was you brothers and sisters who took a fancy to me and tried to invite me to join the New Heaven Society."

"It wasn't long since I joined the New Heaven Society, and you brothers and sisters gave me benefits that I couldn't refuse, so I was allowed to work with you to build a plank road in the open and sneak into Chencang."

He seemed to see Tu Yuanzhou's righteous words and Tu Zhizhi's proud persuasion, and he couldn't help but sigh: "We each get what we need."

"What a good way to get what you want." Tu Zhizhi thought his words were ridiculous and sneered, "But don't forget that you were able to gain the trust of the Eighth Prince because of my recommendation. If it weren't for me, you would probably still have to find a way out now."

She couldn't understand why Wen Baicao, a businessman, had such courage? Wasn't he afraid of the Eighth Prince's backlash?

"I am very grateful to you." Wen Baicao said in a light tone after hearing this.

His expression was too calm, as if Tu Zhizhi's resentment and anger would not fluctuate in his heart.

Tu Zhizhi locked her eyes on him, and seeing his calm face, she gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"How did Li Ye and the Ninth Prince get in touch? What role did you play in this?"

Tu Zhizhi asked with a cold face, but her hands were tightly gripping the prison door. The force was so strong that it seemed as if she was grabbing Wen Baicao's neck, as if she wanted to grip him to death.

Wen Baicao felt her murderous intent towards him and couldn't help but think of Wan Shufang. He suddenly felt that Tu Zhizhi was not as steady as Wan Shufang. No wonder the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun would suspect her without any scruples.

"You have to change your temper, otherwise people with bad tempers will definitely take advantage of your weakness and give you a fatal blow, leaving you with no chance of recovery."

Wen Baicao spoke very kindly, his eyes fixed on Tu Zhizhi, as if he was looking through her at another person.

Tu Zhizhi was stared at by him, and her heart was extremely angry. She gritted her teeth and said, "Wen Baicao, why are you looking at me like that? Are you laughing at me? If you and Li Ye hadn't been plotting, how could I have fallen into this state?"

She was so angry that she banged on the cell door, but her hands turned red.

Her eyes turned red from the pain, but she was unwilling to admit defeat in front of Wen Baicao. She could only endure the pain and stare at Wen Baicao stubbornly.

Her eyes were full of reluctance and anger. Wen Baicao met her eyes and felt that if looks could kill, he would have died countless times.

Unfortunately, even if Tu Zhizhi popped her eyes out, he would be fine.

As soon as he thought of this, Wen Baicao felt very happy. He seemed to enjoy the fact that everyone knew something and showed resentment and unwillingness.

But Tu Zhizhi was different from Chen Changli. Even if he wanted to tease her, he wouldn't tease her too much. He immediately said with a smile on his face, "Okay, don't be angry. I was just joking with you."

He restrained his expression, stared at Tu Zhizhi calmly, and said earnestly: "If you can't even accept such a joke, how are you going to deal with the Ninth Prince?"

"You can't let the Eighth Prince bow his head in front of Chen Changli. Even if he is willing, you will probably feel humiliated."

Wen Baicao's tone changed so quickly that Tu Zhizhi was stunned and almost couldn't react.

When she saw him staring at her with a kind face, Tu Zhizhi suddenly felt that she was being fooled.

She was so angry that she was burning with rage: "Wen Baicao, you bastard! Don't let me get out, or I will tear you into pieces."

Wen Baicao's brows jumped, as if he was expecting something.

Tu Zhizhi saw his expression change, and an ominous premonition suddenly struck her heart, and then she shuddered unconsciously, "No, Wen Baicao, what do you want to do?"

In the past, because Wen Baicao was a businessman, he was always trembling in front of her, as if he was extremely humble.

How come he is so emotional when he sees me after not seeing me for a few days? It feels like he is provoking me. What is he trying to achieve by doing this?

Confused, Tu Zhizhi couldn't help but ask out loud, staring at Wen Baicao, not wanting to miss any change on his face.

Wen Baicao smiled and said, "Miss Disciple, if you doubt me, then keep doubting me. If you change your guess because of my attitude, you will suffer."

Tu Zhizhi heard the hidden meaning in his words, which was obviously a reminder to herself. Her heart sank, but she said calmly, "If suffering a loss can teach me a lesson, I would like to suffer more losses."

She used these words to block Wen Baicao, and she was also venting her dissatisfaction.

Wen Baicao knew this very well, and he sighed: "I was just joking, do you believe it? I don't care."

Tu Zhizhi almost choked to death when she heard this. Why did this man like to hide things so much? Was he trying to piss her off to death with his words?

"Why did you harm me? Li Ye can't bribe you, and the Ninth Prince doesn't like you. You are just a lowly merchant. If it weren't for the help of my brother and I, you wouldn't be able to travel among the princes."

"Wen Baicao, you should be grateful and repay kindness. Don't be complacent and ungrateful just because a prince likes you."
