Seeing his anxious eyes, Tu Zhizhi seemed to be worried that she would misunderstand him. Her mood suddenly changed and she smiled, "Zi Yu, it's not that I don't believe you, but what the Ninth Prince did is shocking."

"Your father is a businessman and is close to the Ninth Prince. I guess your father has set his sights on the Ninth Prince and that's why he gave up on cooperating with me."

"You also know that I can't go home right now. I can only help the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince is narrow-minded. As a businessman, your father will naturally not be taken seriously by him."

"So I guess your father wanted to choose the Ninth Prince because of the Eighth Prince's attitude."

"After all, compared to the Eighth Prince, the Ninth Prince is naturally more capable. If I hadn't been trapped in Luoyang City, why would I have taken a fancy to the Eighth Prince?"

Tu Zhizhi's earnest words not only expressed her mentality to Wen Ziyu, but also secretly told him about her situation, hoping that he would help.

If there really was something wrong with Wen Baicao, no matter how confused Wen Ziyu was, he would be able to understand something through Wen Baicao.

As long as she can control Wen Ziyu, she will naturally have the opportunity to seize the initiative and be invincible in the future.

"Is the Eighth Prince so despicable?" Wen Ziyu looked worried as he listened to Tu Zhizhi's words.

It was obvious that he was very worried about Tu Zhizhi, so much so that he was not optimistic about the Eighth Prince.

Tu Zhizhi listened to his straightforward words, her eyes flickered slightly, and she lowered her voice so that only he could hear: "The Eighth Prince is still somewhat capable, but unfortunately he is not as capable as the Ninth Prince."

When Wen Ziyu heard this, his thoughts turned and he said, "Miss Disciple, if you want to join the Ninth Prince, I can help you find a way."

Tu Zhizhi's face changed slightly when she heard this: "Wen Ziyu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

When did she say that she wanted to join the Ninth Prince?

Did Wen Ziyu not understand what she said? Or did he do it on purpose?

As her thoughts turned, Tu Zhizhi's face couldn't help but turn ugly.

"That's not what I meant." Wen Ziyu said quickly when he saw Tu Zhizhi was angry, "I'm just worried that you'll be wronged after being trapped here, so I want to take you away."

Tu Zhizhi left room for maneuver in her words: "I appreciate your kindness, but I have already reached an agreement with the Eighth Prince, so I will not leave the Eighth Prince in the short term, unless the Eighth Prince completely hates me."

Wen Ziyu heard the leeway in her words and knew that she was dissatisfied with the Eighth Prince in her heart, but because she still needed to rely on the Eighth Prince to survive, she wanted to keep her promise.

He wanted to help Tu Zhizhi, but when he thought about Wen Baicao's matter, he felt that he could not be of any help and could only look sad.

Tu Zhizhi waited for a long time but he didn't say anything, so she glanced at him and saw that his face was full of worry, as if he was troubled by something, and she felt very uncomfortable.

She wanted to make her words more clearly so that Wen Ziyu could help her, but she felt that doing so would make Wen Ziyu look down on her.

She had to ensure her position in Wen Ziyu's heart. Only in this way could she control Wen Ziyu and make him devote himself to her wholeheartedly.

"I know how you feel about me. To be honest, if the Eighth Prince wasn't my best choice right now, I would have taken the opportunity to return to Qingzhou. Why would I be trapped here?"

"But there is one good thing about being trapped here. That is, I can learn about the many changes in the outside world through the affairs of the Eighth and Ninth Princes, and find ways to help my brother."

"That's why your father is so important to me. I can't let the Ninth Prince win him over. Ziyu, can you help me?"

Tu Zhizhi did not ask Wen Ziyu for help directly. She only told him about her predicament and what she was about to do, and let Wen Ziyu make his own decision.

When Wen Ziyu heard her words, he just felt heartbroken.

He quickly promised: "I will go to my father and test his thoughts. If he has other ideas, I will do my best to convince him and never let him hurt you."

"Thank you." Hearing Wen Ziyu's heartfelt words, Tu Zhizhi gave him a smile and turned thousands of words into one thank you.

As Wen Ziyu listened to her gentle words, he felt as if he was soaked in hot water, and his whole body softened.

He quickly patted his chest and promised: "I will go find my father now, Miss Disciple, you wait for my good news."

Upon hearing this, Tu Zhizhi looked at him encouragingly, and then pretended to be reluctant to see him leave.

After the others left, she turned around and arranged for people to follow him. Once they found that he and Wen Baicao had an argument, or Wen Baicao was unwilling to return, they would directly take action to capture the two of them.

"Just catch them, don't hurt them, or else Wen Baicao might cause any trouble."

Tu Zhizhi reminded them again and again to make sure that everyone listened to her words, and then asked them to act quickly, while she rushed to visit Wan Shufang.

She was sure that Wan Shufang was pretending and was ready to expose her, but when she saw Wan Shufang surrounded by many doctors, she gasped in shock.

"What happened to Wan Shufang?"

He clearly looked very energetic yesterday, how come he became like this in just one day? Could it be that Old Lady Shang had secretly taken action against him?

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, and Tu Zhizhi's eyes were locked on Old Lady Shang in a very subtle manner.

Seeing her looking after Wan Shufang with concern and wiping the cold sweat from her forehead from time to time, Tu Zhizhi thought she was just pretending, and her lips curled slightly, revealing a hint of sneer.

"Wan Shufang has become like this, Mrs. Shang, as someone who stayed in the same room with her, I'm afraid you can't escape responsibility."

Tu Zhizhi's tone was subtle, but it stabbed Old Lady Shang like a knife, and it perked up the already mentally exhausted Old Lady Shang.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and said in a rude tone, "Hasn't what happened yesterday taught you a lesson? In that case, I can now let you feel the pain of yesterday so that you will never dare to forget it again."

Old Lady Shang's words sounded murderous and her face was gloomy, like an icy cold blade, which instantly made Tu Zhizhi feel a chill.

She couldn't help but shudder, and spoke quickly, "I just have reasonable suspicions about what happened to Wan Shufang. You want to attack me just because you disagree with me. Are you worried that I will expose you?"

Old Lady Shang's eyes were as cold as a wolf, and she said meaningfully, "What are you planning? I'm afraid that no one present here can figure it out except you. After all, you are a person who makes one thing after another and makes people confused."

Hearing these sarcastic words, Tu Zhizhi's face darkened and her eyes scraped at Old Lady Shang like a knife.

"Tu Zhizhi, don't forget what I just said. If you forget, I will help you remember it." Ye Yun half-closed his eyes, his tone extremely cold.

Tu Zhizhi felt angry when she heard these threatening words, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "How dare I forget what you and the Eighth Prince decided? Don't worry, as long as Old Lady Shang has no problem, I will help you keep your promise."
