"Chen Changli and I have a good relationship. There are no secrets between us as husband and wife." Wan Shufang spoke with great enthusiasm.

When Old Lady Shang saw this look of overflowing confidence, her expression couldn't help but twist.

If what Wan Shufang said was true, then the other people's speculation would become a joke.

When Old Lady Shang thought of this, her heart suddenly rose to her throat.

She also had such a guess. After receiving the news from the Sixth Prince, Fang deliberately brought Xu Yi here.

If Chen Changli has nothing, wouldn't her work be in vain?

No, how could she have worked in vain? At least Wan Shufang's words confirmed one thing for her. Although the Ninth Prince might not be able to accept this matter, it would not harm her.

Old Lady Shang thought so in her heart, and said calmly: "You two have a really good relationship. No wonder some people always want to sow discord between you."

"Are you talking about Tu Zhizhi?" Wan Shufang asked deliberately, but her mood was not very good.

She already knew what Old Lady Shang was thinking, and she was extremely worried that she would deliberately put on an act to deceive her.

"She doesn't have that ability." Old Lady Shang showed disdain. "If it were someone else, and Chen Ping helped you two, you would just hate each other, and you wouldn't help each other like you do now."

Her words were meaningful, as if she was reminding Wan Shufang to stop thinking about it.

Wan Shufang smiled at her and said, "We are not that stingy. Besides, someone has taken a fancy to Chen Changli before and tried every means to please him and become his favorite."

"It's a pity that this person was so proud of his status that he didn't take me seriously. He also underestimated Chen Changli's feelings for me, which led to my complete failure."

"At that time, I thought that the noble ladies from aristocratic families would behave themselves after their failure and would no longer steal other people's men."

"But I didn't expect that person to be so persistent and cruel, and he killed many people."

"Her methods are so cruel that my husband and I will only hate her even more and feel disgusted with her."

"As a result, before my husband and I could do anything, she killed herself."

"So I always think that my husband and I are lucky, and I also believe that if someone wants to harm my husband and me, she will be punished by God."

When Wan Shufang mentioned the word "divine punishment", a smile appeared on her face, but the emotion in her eyes was different.

Old Lady Shang stared at her for a while, then nodded slowly and said, "The one who has his eyes on you and your wife should be punished by God."

"You think so too?" Wan Shufang's eyes flickered with a hint of melancholy. "If that's the case, can you tell me who gave you this guess?"

"Didn't you guess it?" Old Mrs. Shang looked helpless.

Wan Shufang was stunned when she heard this, then she smiled and said, "I did guess it, but I still can't believe it."

"The Sixth Prince thinks highly of Chen Changli. In his mind, Chen Changli is a rare talent. It would be great if he could use him."

"If Chen Changli chooses someone else to join him, he won't be angry. He will just think that Chen Changli has no vision."

"But after hearing what you said, I feel that the Sixth Prince is overthinking. If possible, I really want to go back and tell the Sixth Prince to stop staring at Chen Changli."

Wan Shufang was a little surprised that Mrs. Shang would say such a thing.

She stared at her inexplicably, then said tentatively, "I heard that the Sixth Prince is in a better situation than the Ninth Prince. In other words, who among the brothers has more hope? Many people are optimistic about the Sixth Prince."

"I thought the Sixth Prince thought the same, but I didn't expect her to be so unsure of herself."

"But when he was in the capital, he used my two children to test Chen Changli. What kind of trump card does Chen Changli have? Doesn't he know it clearly?"

Old Lady Shang said meaningfully: "The old emperor was here at that time. Under the old emperor's nose, Chen Changli would not dare to reveal any of his hidden cards no matter how many they were."

Wan Shufang shook her head: "I only know that when we were in the capital, my husband and I did our best for the two children. Because of this, the several princes who had their eyes on us gave up."

"We had a peaceful life for a while, but the situation became increasingly chaotic. We were swept away by the tide and were almost trapped to death in Luoyang City."

"If Chang Xuewei hadn't been thinking about the Phoenix Gu, my husband and I would never have come to Yongzhou City."

Wan Shufang tried her best to show that Chen Changli had no trump card. As for whether Old Lady Shang believed it or not, she no longer cared about it and only wondered what the Sixth Prince was thinking.

If the Sixth Prince insisted on making this conclusion, then Old Lady Shang's coming to Yongzhou City was probably just a chess piece exposed to everyone, and he had secretly sent someone to stir up trouble in Yongzhou City.

Chen Changli was kept in solitary confinement after returning from rescuing the child. Perhaps someone said something unpleasant in front of Ye Yun.

Various thoughts flashed through Wan Shufang's mind, and she soon thought of this point.

Her heart trembled slightly, but she said, "Old Lady Shang, why did you say these things to me? Aren't you afraid that I will tell the Eighth Prince these words in order to protect Chen Changli?"

"There is nothing wrong with what I said. If the Eighth Prince has wild thoughts, it is just because he is stupid." Old Lady Shang said without any reservation.

Her tone revealed one thing, that is, she looked down on the Eighth Prince at all, and the fear she had shown in front of the Eighth Prince before was just an act.

"You should think so. After all, you are the Sixth Prince's man." Wan Shufang emphasized her tone. Before Old Lady Shang could refute her, she added, "How long will the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince cooperate? How can you save yourself during this period?"

"I won't save myself because Chang Xuewei is here. I will kill her to avenge myself. If I survive by chance, maybe you will save me." Old Mrs. Shang lowered her eyes, her tone melancholy.

Wan Shufang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I can't even save myself, how can I save you? Old lady Shang, don't put your hope on me, I'm scared."

Old Lady Shang looked up at her and said in a voice that went straight to her heart: "Wan Shufang, if your husband hadn't made arrangements, you wouldn't be so relaxed, so I still stick to my idea."

After all this talk, you still doubt Chen Changli! Wan Shufang was speechless. She smiled faintly and said, "I'm not the worm in your stomach, how can I know what you are thinking?"

She said this lightly. Old Lady Shang stared at her for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said, "When I insisted on my own opinion, I really hoped that you would veto it. I didn't expect you to say this. It seems that I am just a joke and I made you laugh."

Wan Shufang remained silent, just staring at her curiously, as if waiting for her to wake up.

Old Lady Shang said, "It's getting late. You should take a good rest. I will go find the Eighth Prince. If there is any good news, I will let you know as soon as possible."
