Tu Zhizhi listened to Old Lady Shang's threatening words, her eyes filled with hostility, and her breathing became unconsciously rapid, as if she was going to fight Old Lady Shang to the death in the next moment.

Seeing the two of them confronting each other, as if they were about to fight to the death, Ye Yun felt annoyed, but he did not show it on his face. He just asked: "Old Lady Shang, do you know the consequences of deceiving His Highness?"

Hearing that Ye Yun wanted to ease the relationship between the two, Wan Shufang was afraid that the two would fight, she frowned, then sighed: "Tu Zhizhi, the Eighth Prince has made a promise for you, so as long as the Eighth Prince is here, Old Lady Shang must keep her promise."

When she said this, she locked her eyes with Tu Zhizhi sharply, and said in a tough and cold tone: "If Old Lady Shang doesn't keep her promise, the Eighth Prince will not forgive him."

"Besides, Old Lady Shang is not the only Gu tribe member in the world. If you are interested, you can ask your brother to look for other Gu tribe members."

Tu Zhizhi was so angry when she heard this, but when she saw Wan Shufang's unusually cold look, she suddenly felt like a clown being laughed at by her.

A wave of resentment surged in her heart, instantly bringing back her sanity. A faint smile appeared on her face, and every move she made was subtle and appropriate, just like the peaceful and beautiful woman in the painting that came to life.

"You're right. I was distracted by this matter. That's why I was thinking in the wrong direction."

She spoke each word with great emphasis as if she was squeezing it out from between her teeth. Her peaceful and beautiful face gave people an inexplicably chilly feeling.

Wan Shufang couldn't help but shudder, but she said, "It's okay if you can recognize this. After all, Old Lady Shang has a great influence on the Eighth Prince. If you are loyal to the Eighth Prince, you must consider him and not hinder the Eighth Prince's cause for your own selfish reasons."

She said this on purpose, just to make Tu Zhizhi feel unwilling, so that she would do something irrational and disgust the Eighth Prince.

Ye Yun quickly raised his eyes to look at her, and saw that she had a smile on her face. It seemed that she was truly thinking about the Eighth Prince and had no other intentions.

But when he thought that this woman was Chen Changli's wife, he suspected that she said this on purpose.

If Tu Zhizhi was blinded by hatred, she might fall into her trap, causing Old Lady Shang and the Eighth Prince to secretly feel dissatisfied.

"General's wife, aren't you worried about Chen Changli?" Ye Yun deliberately called Wan Shufang "General's wife".

When Wan Shufang heard the words "General's Wife", she felt like she was being mocked.

She couldn't help but shudder with goose bumps all over her body, but she said, "Master Ye, please don't call me that."

Before Ye Yun could say anything else that would make the hair on the ground stand on end, Wan Shufang quickly continued, "Anyone with a brain knows what kind of situation my wife and I are in now, so the words 'General's wife' really terrify me."

Ye Yun listened to these words without changing his expression and said: "If you don't like to hear it, I will change it. You don't have to be nervous."

Wan Shufang didn't dare take his words seriously. After all, the Eighth Prince hadn't spoken yet, but he was acting as if he wanted to make the decision for him. This was really a bit of overstepping one's authority.

"Master Ye is really good at joking. I know exactly what my current situation is, so I dare not listen to your words unless the Eighth Prince speaks."

After she finished speaking, she smiled at the Eighth Prince, as if to show her sincerity to him and prevent him from having any doubts about her.

The Eighth Prince received her gaze, which contained a chill in his eyes, but his tone was gentle: "Ye Yun is my cousin, and some of his words are just as I said, General's wife, you have to calm down and don't be suspicious, lest the peace at this moment is like a mirage, which will be broken with a poke."

"What a mirage." Wan Shufang lowered her eyebrows, "I understand what you mean."

Seeing that she looked calm and seemed to have misunderstood his words but had no intention of clarifying it with him, the Eighth Prince suddenly sighed and said, "Wan Shufang, are you so sensible because Chen Changli is not here?"

Wan Shufang was a little surprised to hear him use the word "sensible" to describe herself.

Because this was something she had not expected, and how could the word "sensible" come out of the mouth of the eighth prince?

Was he out of his mind? Or was there something wrong with her behavior that caused the Eighth Prince to misunderstand her like this?

Wan Shufang reflected on herself in her heart and always felt that there was nothing wrong with what she said. It was the Eighth Prince who had misunderstood and said such words on purpose to disgust her.

She hugged her arms and shook off all the goose bumps. She said speechlessly, "Eighth Prince, just say what you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush. Although I can't read people's faces, I know what's happening."

She emphasized the last few words on purpose, and there was a faint smile in her eyes, as if she was laughing at the Eighth Prince's dishonesty.

The Eighth Prince looked at her deeply and said simply, "Chen Changli has returned. If you want to see him, just listen to what I say and don't talk about other things."

Hearing the threats in his words, Wan Shufang's hands and feet were sweating, as if she was falling into an ice cellar, "What did you do to him?"

The Eighth Prince pretended to be surprised: "Aren't you worried about your two sons? As far as I know, before Chen Changli came home, you loved them the most."

"They are suffering at Old Nine's hands now. Chen Changli took great pains to rescue them. Why aren't you worried at all? Are you the same as Old Lady Shang?"

The Eighth Prince's words were truly vicious. Wan Shufang's face turned pale and blue, and she looked extremely ugly. "You cannot speculate on the matter between us mother and son."

She has done her best for Chen Ping and Chen Hai. If these two brothers do not repent and insist on selling out their relatives to gain wealth and glory, she will kill them for the sake of justice.

"Where is Chen Changli? Why don't you let him come to see me?"

Suppressing the complicated thoughts in her mind, Wan Shufang stared at the Eighth Prince with sharp eyes, wanting to see how his expression would change so as to discern Chen Changli's situation.

The Eighth Prince's expression was extremely calm, as if even if water was poured on his face, it would not change his expression.

When Wan Shufang saw him like this, her heart started beating fast and her face became even uglier.

But she was worried about Chen Changli's safety. No matter how angry she was with the Eighth Prince, she had to suppress her urge to curse him and asked with a forced smile, "Is Chen Changli injured? You have to give me a definite answer!"

"If we don't know each other, won't we be suspicious of you? Won't you be misunderstood then?"

"Your current situation is not very good. What will you do if you are misunderstood? You can't just rely on Tu Zhizhi."

"If she was devoted to you, why would Mrs. Shang use drugs to protect herself?"

Wan Shufang became more and more anxious as she spoke, but the expression on her face became calmer and calmer, as if she had thought of something and didn't think that Chen Changli would be in trouble.

The calmness on her face made the Eighth Prince's eyes darken, but he smiled and said, "He's fine, but your two sons are not so good. I wanted you to meet them, but I didn't expect you to not worry about them at all."

Tu Zhizhi smiled when she heard this and said, "When we were in the capital, everyone said that you loved them the most. Chen Changli was also very tolerant of them because of your attitude. I thought that you would cry bitterly and make Chen Changli feel distressed when they were around."

"How could I have thought that this would be the case? Wan Shufang, does Chen Changli know your true identity?"
