Wan Shufang's expression was extremely unhappy, but Old Lady Shang didn't care at all. She smiled faintly and said, "You two are loyal to the Crown Prince. Your promise to the Eighth Prince is just a temporary measure."

"And the Eighth Prince knows all about this matter. No matter how tolerant he is, he will not allow you and your wife to become a sharp knife that stabs him in the back."

"As the cousin of the Eighth Prince, Ye Yun was not happy that Chen Changli was playing tricks on the Eighth Prince. Otherwise, why would he take Chen Changli away alone?"

"You are a smart man. What's so strange about what happened today? You know it better than anyone else. Do you really want to be stubborn?"

Old Lady Shang's words completely touched Wan Shufang's heart. She had to ponder over what Old Lady Shang said, then shook her head and sighed, "I want to agree to you, but I'm worried that the Eighth Prince will misunderstand."

Looking at Old Lady Shang meaningfully, Wan Shufang continued, "The reason why Tu Zhizhi's matter has lasted so long is not only because she is Tu Yuanzhou's sister, but also because the Eighth Prince trusts her."

"The reason why Ye Yun helped suppress Tu Zhizhi before was because she couldn't hide her bad temper in front of you."

"In other words, no matter how bad Tu Zhizhi is, at this moment she is the Eighth Prince's person. We are outsiders. No matter how good our words are, he will not believe us."

"You want to convince me, but not in front of them. Do you think they will really accept your honesty calmly?"

Old Mrs. Shang didn't care much about the first sentence, but when she heard the second sentence, her face darkened. But in an instant she seemed to have thought of something, suppressed her gloominess, and uttered a word with her lips slightly moving.

"Your silence will only make them sure that we two have a tacit understanding."

Emphasizing the word "tacit understanding", Old Mrs. Shang smiled brightly, like a mouse entering a rice jar, her smile was so bright that it was unbearable to look at.

Wan Shufang calmed herself down and said in a gentle tone, "They have already suspected it. If that's the case, it doesn't matter whether I agree or not. There's really no need for you to do this."

"If you can think of this, why don't you stop it?" Upon hearing this, Old Lady Shang suddenly felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it patiently for a while, she realized what was wrong.

Seeing the confusion on her face, Wan Shufang said with undisguised helplessness: "They have the means to control me. If I continue to argue with them, won't it make them more wary of me?"

"Besides, you were acting very enthusiastically at that time. If I interfered, wouldn't you hate me?"

"You are an expert in witchcraft. I am no match for you. Rather than letting you hate me and causing me trouble in the days ahead, it is better for you to remain silent. At least you can deliberately offer some benefits to convince me."

Could Wan Shufang say that she didn't react? Of course not, so she pretended to be helpless and explained.

Old Lady Shang smiled and said, "I see."

After a pause, she made a prompt decision: "I will tell people that you promised me. I won't spend time thinking about whether they have doubts about you, but I think Ye Yun will use your two children to make you do something."

"So you just need to wait patiently until they make their arrangements. To be honest, I really want to find out about the Phoenix Gu so that I can rescue the people of Luoyang City."

When she said the last sentence, Mrs. Shang thought for a moment and then took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and handed it to Wan Shufang.

"How many medicines do you have in your arms?" Seeing what Old Lady Shang did, Wan Shufang couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth.

"These medicines are for self-defense. If not for them, I wouldn't be able to stand here safely." Old Lady Shang said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, Wan Shufang held the porcelain bottle in her hand, but said, "You are a very powerful Gu Master. I am indeed not as good as you in Gu techniques, so your medicine is very dangerous to me. I dare not use it lightly."

Old Lady Shang chuckled and said, "This is the simplest golden wound medicine, not the poisonous insect you think of. I only have one of those extremely powerful poisonous insects."

She felt a little melancholy when she said this. Powerful poisonous insects are extremely rare, and she felt very sad to see them being used on Tu Zhizhi.

"Really?" When Wan Shufang heard her sincere tone, she knew that what she said was true.

But when she thought about what this man did in front of Tu Zhizhi, she couldn't help but be worried.

Old Lady Shang looked at her unhappily: "Didn't you say you wanted to be my disciple? Because of your good medical skills, I am willing to give you a chance. As a teacher, even if I have some small thoughts, I will not take your life."

Hearing her say this, Wan Shufang suddenly got goose bumps all over her body.

They were just arguing with each other, why did Old Lady Shang suddenly change her attitude? Fortunately, she was here at the moment. If it was Tu Zhizhi, the two would probably fight.

"Don't you believe what I say?" Old Mrs. Shang observed her expression and instantly understood Wan Shufang's thoughts.

Wan Shufang said frankly: "I don't dare to believe you, because I don't know whether your words are true or false, and I don't know how real the face you show at this moment is."

Mrs. Shang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Haha, you are an interesting person. I am beginning to admire you."

"When I heard the word 'start', I was sure you were joking." Wan Shufang said with certainty.

After hearing this, Old Lady Shang was silent for a long time, and then she said earnestly, "I really want revenge, you just need to remember this. As for the rest, you can speculate, but you can't draw conclusions, otherwise you will miss a great help."

After she said this, she went out to look for someone, leaving Wan Shufang alone to ponder.

After a moment she sighed, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend, is that what you mean?"

Old Mrs. Shang was not there, so no one answered her. She didn't need an answer, so she just walked out.

The two of them quickly reached an agreement with the Eighth Prince, and then Wan Shufang took the opportunity to ask to meet the two Chen Ping brothers.

The Eighth Prince did not refuse and made arrangements directly. An hour later, Wan Shufang was taken to the Heavenly Prison.

At this time, Chen Ping had already woken up, and Chen Hai tried to persuade him earnestly. The two brothers had a big argument because of their disagreement.

As soon as Wan Shufang arrived, she heard the two brothers arguing, and her brows twisted unconsciously into knots. "Hasn't what happened this year made you realize the seriousness of the problem?"

She was in a very uneasy mood, and the words that came out of her mouth were full of anger.

When Chen Hai heard her words, his face suddenly turned red, which was caused by shame.

Chen Ping suddenly stood up, tears welling up in his eyes, and said, "Mother, are you here to save me? Please get me out! This is simply not a place for human beings to stay. I have suffered so much!"

Wan Shufang's eyes pierced him like a knife, and her voice was unusually cold: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Chen Ping was stunned, and Chen Hai quickly stood up and said, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will obey you if you want to punish me."

"Third brother, if you don't want to make achievements for the Ninth Prince, that's your business. You can't involve me! I still want to help him." Chen Ping shouted angrily.

When Wan Shufang heard his words, her eyes were filled with disappointment: "Boss, how can you be so ignorant?"
