"God doesn't play tricks on people. He's just blind. That's why you're still alive today." The person who came was Liu Ying, who was almost tortured to death by Bai Yue. She looked at Wan Shufang meaningfully and spoke slowly.

"I haven't offended you, have I? Why do you have such a strong grudge against me?" Wan Shufang was slightly surprised when she heard Liu Ying's words, and then looked at her with confusion.

Liu Ying's face suddenly turned cold, and her voice rose: "Wan Shufang, don't pretend in front of me, otherwise the consequences will not be something you can bear."

Seeing her cold eyes and serious expression on her face, Wan Shufang was alert and said with a puzzled tone: "When I met you, you were seriously injured and your life was hanging by a thread. Bai Yue imprisoned me next to you, and I wanted to save you when I saw that you were barely breathing."

Having said this, Wan Shufang sighed slightly: "If Bai Yue hadn't suddenly gone mad and taken me to the dungeon, you might have been saved by me. Logically speaking, I was the only person who was kind to you at the time. Liu Ying, you should hate Bai Yue! Why do you hate me so much?"

"You are just pretending to be compassionate." Liu Ying sneered.

Wan Shufang smiled faintly when she heard this: "Really? But why do I feel like my kindness is being taken for granted?"

Being targeted by Bai Yue, Wan Shufang could hardly protect herself, but she still showed kindness to Liu Ying. It was naturally because she felt sorry for Liu Ying after seeing her miserable condition, and she didn't expect Liu Ying to think of her this way.

Wan Shufang lamented in her heart that some kindnesses should not be expressed, otherwise she would attract a poisonous snake.

"Who is Liu Yaoyao to you?"

No matter how Liu Ying survived and came to Luoyang City, Wan Shufang felt that the past was not important. She had to figure out the relationship between Liu Ying and Liu Yaoyao, and then make some plans.

"Guess." Liu Ying smiled, as if she found Wan Shufang's question very interesting and she was interested in playing with Wan Shufang.

"I don't guess." Noticing that something was wrong with Liu Ying's expression, Wan Shufang paused slightly, then sneered, and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Liu Ying pushed Wan Shufang hard with a cold face.

Caught off guard, Wan Shufang was pushed and fell heavily to the ground.

Pain swept through her brain, and Wan Shufang gasped in pain.

"Liu Ying, what's wrong with you?" Wan Shufang endured the pain, staring at Liu Ying with eyes that were almost spitting fire. "The one who bullied you was Bai Yue, and the one who tortured you was the White Lotus sect members who obeyed Bai Yue's orders. You don't hate them, but you hate me. Now you are using such childish means to bully me. Don't you think this is ridiculous?"

"If your husband hadn't taken the Fourth Prince away, I wouldn't have been taken away and tortured by the White Lotus Sect." Liu Ying laughed as if she heard a joke. After laughing, her eyes were as sharp as knives, wishing she could cut Wan Shufang into pieces.

"The Fourth Prince?" Wan Shufang was slightly surprised. She immediately stood up from the ground and stared at Liu Ying with suspicion. When she was sure that Liu Ying's face was filled with anger, she sneered, "The Fourth Prince has his legs. If he doesn't want to leave, can my husband break his legs and carry him?"

Liu Ying's expression turned cold. Just as she was about to speak, a series of bells suddenly rang behind her. She was startled and subconsciously tensed her body.

Wan Shufang noticed this and was a little surprised, because when she looked in the direction of the sound of the bell, she saw Yanran in a red dress skipping towards them.

"Sister Liu Ying, didn't Sister Yaoyao ask you to go out and buy something? Why did you come here?" Yanran tilted her head to look at Liu Ying, then looked at Wan Shufang. She found that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so she immediately asked Liu Ying curiously.

"I'll be out right away." Liu Ying seemed to be very afraid of Yanran. When she heard her speak, she didn't want to say anything more and turned and left as soon as she finished speaking.

Yanran turned her eyes and looked at Wan Shufang with a smile, and asked, "Are you and Sister Liu Ying old acquaintances?"

"So what if it is? So what if it isn't?" Wan Shufang guessed that Yanran's status was different from the change in Liu Ying's expression, and she couldn't help but be on guard.

Yanran's eyes were clear, as if she was only curious whether Liu Ying and Wan Shufang knew each other. As for other purposes, she had no such purpose.

Wan Shufang met her clear gaze and felt a wave of emotion in her heart, but she did not show it on her face.

"You said the same thing as Sister Yaoyao, you are very cautious. No wonder Sister Liu Ying wanted to come to see you." Yanran was not angry at all when she heard Wan Shufang's answer, but just a little disappointed.

She looked up at Wan Shufang with a complicated expression, and then said in a cold voice: "Come here, guard this place well and don't let anyone go out."

After saying this, Yanran left dejectedly, not caring at all about any change in Wan Shufang's expression.

Wan Shufang looked at her, her thoughts a little confused.

She felt that she seemed to have misunderstood something, which made Yanran's face look so gloomy.

However, Liu Ying was not only a remnant of the previous dynasty, but she had also been the Saint of the White Lotus Sect. She had even reached a cooperation with the Fourth Prince. She suddenly appeared in front of her and spoke in that manner. It would be strange if Wan Shufang was not alert and suspicious.

Why did Yanran look at me with such complicated eyes? Didn’t she want to hurt me?

Wan Shufang's mind raced and her brows furrowed unconsciously. She was prepared to be coerced and bribed, but she didn't expect that the person she would meet would be Liu Ying.

She thought that the person who came to threaten her would be someone from the Queen or Princess An Qing, so Liu Ying's appearance was really unexpected.

She couldn't help but suspect that Princess An Qing had thrown a smoke bomb to deceive the Queen and them.

"Things don't seem to be what we thought. It seems that some things need to be investigated, otherwise we will be treated as fools."

As soon as Wan Shufang came to this idea, she tried to find a way to pass the message to the secret guards assigned by the Crown Princess, and asked them to convey her speculation to the Crown Princess.

As for what the Crown Princess would do next, Wan Shufang had no idea and could only stay silently in this dilapidated room waiting for someone who might arrive.

Night fell quickly, and the entire royal manor seemed to be swallowed by a black monster, which made people feel terrifying.

"The royal estate standing here is like a giant beast that can devour human lives if you are not careful."

Chen Changli was very calm from head to toe, as if the news brought to him by the Crown Princess during the day did not make him feel uneasy.

But when he saw the royal manor under the night sky, his expression turned cold, as if a layer of frost had covered him.

The leader of the secret guards, Ying Yi, felt an inexplicable chill in his heart, and he felt as if he was in a world of ice and snow. He would be frozen stiff in the blink of an eye. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and then exhale the foul air.

His breathing was barely audible, but Chen Changli noticed it. He immediately looked at him and said with a faint smile, "I'm not a monster. Why are you so cautious?"

When Ying saw his frost-covered face turn into a gentle spring breeze, he said with a relaxed look, "I was worried that you would rush in without caring about anything for your wife."

Chen Changli looked calm and indifferent: "When I received the news from the Crown Princess, I did have such thoughts. After coming here, I no longer have such thoughts. It's because my wife is willing to take risks. Naturally, it's because she wants to help the Crown Princess to make a quick decision. If I rush in, won't it ruin her and the Crown Princess's plans?"
