Abandoned by the best children? I just take out the space

"Whether he knows it or not does not affect our relationship at the moment." Old Mrs. Shang lowered her eyes, her tone sad.

Wan Shufang curled her lips slightly: "It seems that Xu Yi is well protected by you."

"He is my grandson. Who else can I protect if I don't protect him?" Old Mrs. Shang's tone became even sadder.

"I think it's better to tell him about this." Chen Changli squeezed Wan Shufang's hand, raised his eyebrows at her, and said meaningfully.

Old Lady Shang said hesitantly, "I told him he wouldn't believe it, but if you guys go and tell him, maybe he will believe it."

Hearing her push the matter over, Wan Shufang subconsciously grabbed Chen Changli's hand.

Feeling the warmth of Chen Changli's palm, her eyes were full of smiles, but her tone was calm: "That's not necessarily true."

After she finished speaking, she sighed again: "When we were in Zaoyang County before, Xu Yi wanted the Sixth Prince to get rid of us. I still feel a little scared when I think about it now."

"You are not a timid person." Old Lady Shang emphasized.

Wan Shufang looked subtle when she heard this, and said with a slightly melancholy voice: "This is not a matter of being timid or not, but as outsiders, how can we interfere in the affairs between you two?"

At this point, Wan Shufang paused for a moment before continuing: "If you have a conflict that cannot be resolved in a short period of time, won't you blame us outsiders?"

When Mrs. Shang heard this, she realized belatedly and said, "You two want me to rush forward on my own."

Wan Shufang looked innocent: "That's not what we meant. We just want you to think things through and make the most correct decision so that Xu Yi won't hate you forever."

Chen Changli immediately agreed: "My wife's words are what I want to say, Mrs. Shang, if you relax and explain the matter to your grandson, even if he hates you, he will take some time to investigate the truth."

Wan Shufang agreed: "Now that the truth is out, how can there be any hatred between you two, the grandfather and the grandson?"

"That sounds nice." Old Lady Shang was both angry and helpless. "I think you two just want to protect yourselves, that's why you don't want to get involved."

"Actually, I understand your thoughts. If I were faced with something like this, my first thought would be to protect myself. I would never get involved and cause trouble."

Old Mrs. Shang picked up a piece of pickled vegetable and put it into her mouth. She looked very calm, as if she didn't care about the little thoughts of Chen Changli and his wife.

"When he comes to see me, I will explain everything to him. If he doesn't believe me this time, I will contact the Sixth Prince to send him away to prevent future troubles."

She finished her words calmly, then looked up at Wan Shufang and asked with a half-smile, "Then you can rest assured."

Wan Shufang smiled back: "You should be relieved."

Old Lady Shang restrained her expression and said in a cold tone: "You are still unwilling to suffer a loss at this time, Wan Shufang, you are really a difficult person, no wonder you are a couple with Chen Changli."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Wan Shufang kept smiling.

Old Lady Shang sighed: "Why do you two like to poke people's hearts so much?"

Words were like sharp blades, enough to shock people, but upon closer thought, the couple's words were just right and would not embarrass her.

What a good sense of propriety! Old Lady Shang sighed in her heart, but said on the surface: "I finally understand why Chang Xuewei can't hide her feelings in front of you two. With your words like knives, she can't resist even if she is broad-minded."

"To be honest, I really want to see her angry face. It must be very beautiful and it can also let me vent the hatred in my heart."

"You will have a chance." Chen Changli said in a gentle voice.

Old Lady Shang looked at him with deep eyes, curled her lips and smiled: "I'm waiting for that day to come."

Seeing a little more joy in her eyes, Wan Shufang paused and said, "As long as Tu Zhizhi doesn't think of causing trouble, this day will come soon."

Old Mrs. Shang was stunned when she heard this, and then became a little dazed.

Given Tu Zhizhi's identity, even if the Eighth Prince is dissatisfied with her, he has to be cautious.

Therefore, it would be fine even if Tu Zhizhi made a big mistake, but the Eighth Prince could not tolerate her forever. How to strike the right balance depends on her decision.

Thinking of this, Old Lady Shang immediately smiled and said, "I know what to do. Don't worry, you two."

Chen Changli's expression eased a lot after hearing this, but thinking of the trouble that Tu Zhizhi might bring, he still had to confirm, "Does our previous deal still count?"

Old Lady Shang glanced at Chen Changli and sighed: "As long as the matter does not involve us and does not threaten our lives, then our deal will stand."

After hearing her state the two premises, Wan Shufang thought she was being cunning and wanted to mock her, but then she changed her mind and felt that it was unnecessary. After all, Chen Changli still had to cooperate with the Eighth Prince to rescue Chen Ping and Chen Hai.

If Old Lady Shang can behave herself during this period, that would be great. If not, she will have no choice but to be cruel.

"Let's have breakfast first." Wan Shufang made up her mind and looked very relaxed. She invited Chen Changli to have breakfast, and then went next door to observe several doctors treating Tu Zhizhi.

Tu Zhizhi's temper was still as bad as last night, but Old Lady Shang did not appear in front of her, so her temper was under control.

Wan Shufang watched for a while and found it boring, so she and Chen Changli went to find Jiang Xuan.

The three of them got together and specifically discussed the matter of the old lady and Xu Yi, and then they felt that this matter could be used to their advantage.

"Mrs. Shang's move completely caught us off guard."

"But then I thought about it and felt that this was a good thing. After all, with Old Lady Shang here, Tu Zhizhi won't focus on us."

"We can take this opportunity to contact Lin Jing's people, and then fight back against those who are using the Eighth Prince to plot against us."

Upon hearing this, Chen Changli looked at Jiang Xuan's worried expression and immediately said with a smile, "That's exactly what I was thinking. I'm going to visit the Ninth Prince's tent tonight, and before that, I plan to meet with Lord Lin."

Jiang Xuan quickly said: "Lin Jing can actually cooperate with you to form an internal and external alliance, but Wen Baicao is an unstable factor, we have to be on guard against him."

Wan Shufang nodded seriously: "Wen Baicao said he wanted revenge, but his behavior was too much. He didn't want to be the emperor."

Having said this, Wan Shufang looked conflicted: "I always feel that Wen Baicao has the same idea as Chang Xuewei, so he is very dangerous and we must be on guard against him doing something naughty."

"But he knows a lot of things and has a lot of people under his command. I'm worried that he will find out before we even start to act."

Jiang Xuan felt heavy-hearted after hearing this: "Dajing has been in chaos for the past few years, and now it is in name only. Could it be that he is secretly fanning the flames?"

Wan Shufang's heart tightened slightly when she heard this, but she said, "We can't rule out this possibility. You know, he was the one who experienced the Prince Mingde case, and he was always watching the emperor's every move out of hatred."

"During this period, the emperor's identity was discovered. When he stood up for Prince Mingde, he must have had other intentions, so he secretly tried to win over the remnants of the previous dynasty and those who survived the Prince Mingde case."

"These two groups joined forces to attack the emperor together, which led to Princess An Qing's marriage in exchange for peace more than 30 years ago."

"Because of this incident, they felt that the emperor already had great power and that no matter what they did, they could not shake his position, so they turned to doing things in secret that could not be made public."

"The birth of the crown prince might have been part of his plan. His goal was to make the emperor and his wife destroy themselves. Doesn't the current development prove this point?"

The more she talked, the more she felt that this might be the case, and Wan Shufang's eyes lit up.

"Chang Xuewei hates the crown prince so much that she founded the New Heaven Society for this. If this is also related to Wen Baicao, then can we provoke a fight between the two of them?"
