"I thought we had a tacit understanding, and that you and your wife would only choose me after weighing the pros and cons. I didn't expect that when Chen Changli made his decision, you decided to turn hostile and ruthless."

Old Mrs. Shang's eyes fell on Wan Shufang's face, hinting at something.

Wan Shufang smiled faintly: "We are also husband and wife following each other's lead."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Old Mrs. Shang still didn't give up and asked immediately.

Wan Shufang glanced towards the door and didn't see anyone, but she felt that the moonlight shining through the door was chilling.

She tried hard to suppress the chill in her heart and said gently, "I am very clear about my own situation, and my two children still need the Eighth Prince's help to save them, so you know exactly what choice I should make."

"Your child fell into the hands of the Ninth Prince?" There was a hint of surprise in Old Lady Shang's eyes.

She really didn't know about this matter. If she knew, she would definitely spread it out as soon as possible so that the Sixth Prince's people could be prepared.

"You have been with my husband and me for a while, so you know our tempers. Otherwise, you wouldn't have wasted so much time just to get me to cooperate with you to buy time."

Old Lady Shang is unwilling to detoxify Tu Zhizhi, which is just a way of delaying time.

Tu Zhizhi should have reacted, but the medicine in her body was specifically for controlling emotions. Even if she noticed something, she would be controlled by her emotions and get angry, and would have no time to care about anything else.

Wan Shufang was not aware of this before, and only realized it after she enlightened Tu Zhizhi.

"It's a pity that you're a step too late. The conditions given by the Eighth Prince are very attractive to my wife and I, and tomorrow is the deadline."

When talking about the deadline, Wan Shufang's eyes reddened slightly.

"The Ninth Prince will not treat my child well, and my child is not a smart person. For the sake of their safety, my husband and I can only agree to the Eighth Prince."

Old Lady Shang felt very uncomfortable when she heard these trembling words, and her face unconsciously showed some sadness, "How pitiful are the parents in the world!"

She thought of herself through Wan Shufang's expression, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

The same happened to her when her husband and daughter and son-in-law died.

It was a pity that Xu Yi was deceived and took everything out on her.

She tried her best to explain, but not only did she fail to win his heart back, she made him become more and more distant from her.

This time Xu Yi fell into Tu Zhizhi's hands, and Old Lady Shang felt very uneasy. However, she also wanted Tu Zhizhi to teach him a lesson so that he would know how good she was, so she didn't care about him on the surface. However, she didn't expect Wan Shufang to misunderstand her.

"We feel the same way. If possible, I would also like to help you. Unfortunately, my current situation is not good. If I help you, Tu Zhizhi might misunderstand you and me."

"I believe Chen Changli and the Eighth Prince will discuss everything." Wan Shufang didn't want Old Lady Shang to interfere. After all, Old Lady Shang was the Sixth Prince's person, and she didn't dare to trust her.

"The Eighth Prince and the Ninth Prince don't get along. The Ninth Prince now has a hold on your and your wife's weakness. Do you think the Eighth Prince will trust you?" Old Lady Shang asked after thinking for a moment.

"This is his fault, not ours." Wan Shufang was ambiguous.

Old Lady Shang heard the other meaning of these words and was slightly shocked. She said calmly, "You two are not such people, but you have to make such a compromise for the sake of your children. I am really heartbroken."

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her eyes and stared at Wan Shufang. Seeing that she showed no strange expression, she knew that this so-called compromise was only temporary. The Eighth Prince was also aware of this.

She couldn't help but sigh at Chen Changli and Wan Shufang's loyalty to the prince. It was a pity that the prince was destined to die in Meizhou and would not take them to the top of the world.

"Actually, I came to Yongzhou City this time to confirm one thing. I was really surprised to see you two here, but I was also pleasantly surprised because the thing I wanted to confirm happened to be related to the Crown Prince."

Old Mrs. Shang’s mind raced, and she decided to throw out a bait.

"Did the Sixth Prince find out?" Wan Shufang's face suddenly turned cold, but her words were very certain. She would not give Old Lady Shang the opportunity to test her at all.

Old Mrs. Shang's heart sank. This reaction seemed a little wrong. Could it be that she and her husband already knew what the prince was going to do?

"Do you know what I want to confirm?" Old Mrs. Shang was a little confused. She wanted to test Wan Shufang, but felt it was unnecessary, so she asked directly.

"It's about my child." Wan Shufang's eyes flashed and she said softly.

Old Lady Shang was about to lose her smile. She clenched her hands in her sleeves again and again before forcing a smile and saying, "It turns out that you two knew what the Crown Prince was going to do a long time ago. No wonder you dared to agree to the Eighth Prince's request."

When Wan Shufang heard this, she knew what Old Lady Shang wanted to confirm, and she felt annoyed.

It was Lin Jing who brought the news that the prince was going to Meizhou to rescue Chen Xiyun and others. When she first heard about it, she was also shocked by the prince's decision.

However, thinking about the prince's character, she was grateful and also understood more and more why Chen Changli had a good impression of the prince.

As a result, she had great faith in the prince and was willing to help him ascend to a high position with all her heart, but she had not expected that Old Lady Shang would want to come to Yongzhou City to confirm this matter.

Wan Shufang just thought it was ridiculous. The prince was in Meizhou, not Yongzhou. What did Old Lady Shang come here to confirm? She obviously knew about Bashu and wanted to confirm what arrangements the prince had made in Bashu.

"The prince is a good person, and that's why my wife and I are so devoted to him."

Wan Shufang deliberately emphasized the tone of her words and looked at Old Lady Shang with a smile.

"Can the Sixth Prince do this for you? I don't think he can, otherwise you wouldn't be controlled by Tu Zhizhi."

"You want to win me over for the prince?" Old Lady Shang said with certainty, "If it was five years ago, I might have agreed."

"But now I am filled with hatred. After I have my revenge, I may be left with nothing. So your solicitation is meaningless to me."

Old Lady Shang deliberately dragged out the last word, and then changed the subject: "Whether the Crown Prince is in trouble or not depends on what the Sixth Prince and Prince Rong do. I have no time to pay attention to or interfere. But I can really do something about today's matter. I just don't know if you are willing to cooperate."

There was a hint of temptation in her words, and Wan Shufang understood it immediately. She resisted the urge to curse and said softly, "For the sake of our child's safety, my husband and I have no other choice."

Old Lady Shang's heart sank, and her eyes became stern. "No, you and your wife still have a choice. Phoenix Gu can create strange people. As long as Chen Changli is ruthless, no matter whether it is the Eighth Prince or the Ninth Prince, they will not be his opponents."

Wan Shufang thought she would give a good idea, but she didn't expect to hear such a ridiculous question, "Are you serious?"

Old Lady Shang's eyes darkened slightly: "Those who achieve great things don't pay attention to small details."

Wan Shufang's face suddenly turned cold: "We are not cruel executioners, don't try to instigate us."
