Tu Zhizhi was choked by the words, but she didn't look embarrassed at all, as if what Old Lady Shang said didn't hurt her much.

Old Lady Shang saw her expression and smiled even more: "You are a hypocritical person with changing moods. No wonder you are still unmarried in your thirties."

Hearing her insult herself by using marrying someone, Tu Zhizhi's eyebrows were filled with anger, but she had a smile on her face: "Who am I, who are you, Old Lady Shang, you don't understand, do you?"

"Get married? Haha, with my status, how could I possibly get married? I should be marrying a husband."

Tu Zhizhi emphasized the last two words and raised her chin with arrogance: "If you don't know who I am, then stay in your place and don't try to anger me with words. I won't fall for it."

She blinked her eyes and said in a slow and light tone: "I looked down on you before, so I didn't take you seriously, but I didn't expect that because of this negligence, I suffered a big loss."

"Brother is right. There are many villains in this world. These despicable people can't bear to see us brothers and sisters rise step by step, so they try every means to attack us."

"It's a pity that I thought the villain my brother was talking about was the group of rebels who were not as good as my brother, but I didn't expect that the person he was talking about was you."

"I have been bullied and threatened by you for several days in a row. I have suffered a lot. Now that I have woken up, I will be more rational and will never fall for your evil schemes again."

The more Tu Zhizhi spoke, the clearer her mind became, and a hint of regret quietly appeared in her eyes.

If she had known that Old Lady Shang was deliberately provoking her, she would have killed her long ago. How could she have given her the chance to hurt her?

In the final analysis, it was all because she was too arrogant before that Old Lady Shang benefited from it.

As long as she realizes this and cheers up, Old Lady Shang will never be her match.

"So that's what you think. No wonder I couldn't stand you from the first time I met you."

Old Mrs. Shang felt sarcastic when she heard Tu Zhizhi's self-righteous words, but her face remained expressionless, as if Tu Zhizhi was right and she had to admit it.

"Stop pretending. I'm not the Eighth Prince. I won't be fooled by your ridiculous attitude." Tu Zhizhi hurriedly belittled the Eighth Prince and elevated herself.

Old Lady Shang understood what she meant and shook her head gently: "I think no matter how you change, you will always be like this."

"I'm already old. If I argue with you like a fool, wouldn't it make me look stupid?"

Old Lady Shang's words were very blunt. Tu Zhizhi should have been angry, but when she thought about what she had just said, she felt that she should calm down and not do as Old Lady Shang wished.

Trying to take a deep breath and suppress the anger in her heart, Tu Zhizhi stared at Old Lady Shang with contempt, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of sarcasm.

"Besides provoking my anger, do you have no other tricks?"

"You are a very strange person. You are clearly at a disadvantage, but you still want to provoke me. Do you want to die in my hands?"

Having said all this in one breath, Tu Zhizhi found it more and more ridiculous. It seemed that Old Lady Shang's provocation at this moment was like an ant's struggle for survival, which made her very disgusted.

"If it was before, I might have taken your shallow provocation seriously, but now I think it's unnecessary because your performance is very disappointing."

"If I get angry because of what you said, wouldn't it make me look like a fool? And you are so proud of yourself."

Tu Zhizhi's tone was arrogant, as if she had really thought everything through and had no intention of falling into any trap.

Old Lady Shang smiled gently, "I'm really surprised that you realized this and said this to me. After all, you didn't seem to be able to figure everything out before."

"So who said anything in front of you? Why did it make you understand?"

When Old Lady Shang said this, she deliberately glanced at the Eighth Prince and Ye Yun, as if she suspected that these two people had secretly said a lot to Tu Zhizhi, and then she suppressed Tu Zhizhi.

Ye Yun met her gaze and said calmly, "I'm not that free. Tu Zhizhi is a smart person. Is it strange that she can figure everything out?"

The Eighth Prince agreed: "It's enough for Tu Zhizhi to be humiliated by you once. If she is humiliated again, what will she become? Old Lady Shang, don't think she is too stupid."

As soon as he said this, Old Lady Shang looked at him in surprise. Seeing that the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, as if he found their fight very funny, her heart sank.

What does the Eighth Prince mean by this? Doesn't he intend to suppress Tu Zhizhi?

When this thought came to Old Lady Shang's mind, her mood suddenly became heavy, but she did not show it on her face, because the Eighth Prince seemed easy to fool, but in fact he was the most petty.

If he figured out everything else, it would be easy for him to see through her calculations.

Old Lady Shang risked her life at the cost of Tu Zhizhi's life to get to her current situation. How could she let such a good situation be ruined because of the Eighth Prince?

She quickly adjusted her mood and said with a melancholy look on her face: "Eighth Prince, I understand what you mean. This time, I was indeed a little too much, which is why she couldn't control her emotions."

"It's just that I have a doubt. I hope the Eighth Prince can think about it carefully and answer it for me."

When Old Lady Shang said this, she glanced at Tu Zhizhi deliberately, then lowered her eyes and waited for the Eighth Prince's reaction.

The Eighth Prince looked at her, his thoughts turned around, and he smiled and said, "Whatever you want to do, as long as it does not touch my bottom line, I am willing to tolerate you."

"But if you push your luck, I would rather indulge Tu Zhizhi than let you suffer."

He made his attitude very clear, and would not allow Old Lady Shang to plot against people secretly and make Tu Zhizhi look bad again.

Old Lady Shang understood his thoughts and was very disappointed, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "I'm not as powerful as you think. Don't be so defensive against me. Otherwise, others will be the ones who are proud."

She rolled her eyes and said, "For example, Chang Xuewei, she is lurking in Yongzhou City, watching your every move all the time."

"She might have known about our current dispute a long time ago. We really need to work together to find out what will happen next. Otherwise, we may not even know what happened when we die."

When Tu Zhizhi heard her mention Chang Xuewei, she felt that she was very good at grasping people's psychology, and couldn't help but say: "If I remember correctly, you are also a member of the New Heaven Society. In this case, why don't you just pledge allegiance to Chang Xuewei?"

"She has many capable people under her command. You can control a few of them with the poisonous insects. What revenge can't be avenged?"

“Could it be that your desire for revenge was false, which allowed Chang Xuewei to preserve his strength.”

Old Lady Shang smiled coldly and said, "What do you mean by preserving your strength? Having to bow to the Sixth Prince and helping the Sixth Prince against the Eighth Prince is called preserving your strength? In your eyes, how incompetent are the Sixth and Eighth Princes?"
