He Zhiming looked at Wan Shufang with a slightly unfathomable look in his eyes.

Wan Shufang looked him in the eye without fear, and said with a faint smile, "Why is Doctor He looking at me like that? Do you think this is not a good thing?"

Regardless of the woman's identity, she was brought into Prince Rong's Mansion by Liu Yaoyao herself.

If anything happened to her, Liu Yaoyao would never let it go.

Since He Zhiming didn't like Liu Yaoyao, he naturally didn't like this woman either.

He looked down on the woman and wanted to make things difficult for her, but Wan Shufang happened to be here and the woman wanted to see her.

If the woman suffered any harm at the hands of He Zhiming and accidentally became weaker, wouldn't Wan Shufang be implicated?

"I don't mean that." He Zhiming was frightened by Wan Shufang's look and quickly suppressed his suspicion and vigilance towards the woman.

Wan Shufang said calmly, "It would be better this way."

Seeing that He Zhiming couldn't win the argument with Wan Shufang, the woman's eyes quickly condensed into a smile: "Doctor He doesn't like me because of Liu Yaoyao."

Her tone was straightforward and her expression was calm, as if she knew her position in Prince Rong's Mansion from the very beginning.

She was not polite to He Zhiming because she knew that Liu Yaoyao was very strong. Since he was loyal to King Rong, he was unwilling to offend Liu Yaoyao in the short term.

"I really don't like you, because your affairs make Liu Yaoyao feel a little distracted from her job." He Zhiming didn't expect the woman to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment, but he reacted quickly and directly took over the woman's words sarcastically.

The woman raised her eyebrows and looked at He Zhiming several times.

There was a strong sense of scrutiny in her eyes, and He Zhiming felt uncomfortable. He immediately said with a cold face: "What do you mean?"

The woman looked calm, but her words made He Zhiming feel a little embarrassed. "Liu Yaoyao is working for Prince Rong. I am a hostage placed in Prince Rong's mansion by Liu Yaoyao. Doctor He is a smart man. How can he not figure out such a simple thing?"

"Your words are enough to scare a baby." He Zhiming said this stubbornly, then left with a flick of his sleeves.

The woman had no taboos in her words and actions, and he felt that if he continued to stay, he would only be angered by her words.

In order to prevent such a thing from happening, He Zhiming had no choice but to leave no matter how unwilling he was.

"I didn't expect Dr. He to be so stingy." The woman spoke in a faint tone, but He Zhiming happened to hear it as he was leaving.

So he felt like there was a ferocious beast chasing him, and he wished he could return to his yard in the blink of an eye.

Wan Shufang was stunned watching from the side. He Zhiming looked like he was going to monitor him and the woman, but why did he just run away because of a word from the woman? What was going on in his mind?

"He Zhiming really cares about his reputation." The woman suddenly sighed, "Yaoyao didn't misjudge his character, but I still feel a little uneasy when someone like this targets Yaoyao."

After she finished speaking, her eyes were directly cast on Wan Shufang.

Seeing that her brows were slightly frowned, as if she was thinking about something, the woman felt a strange feeling in her heart for some reason.

"I wanted to see you two days ago, but unfortunately Yaoyao was busy with something and couldn't help me. I could only ask He Zhiming. I didn't want him to come with you."

The woman suppressed the inexplicable feeling in her heart and spoke softly. When she mentioned He Zhiming, her face turned bad.

He Zhiming looked down on her, and she was very clear about this. If Liu Yaoyao had not been there, she would never have gone to find him.

Understanding the change in the woman's expression, Wan Shufang immediately said, "Doctor He is actually more suitable for studying poisons. As for other things, he is not suitable for doing them. It's a pity that he has no self-awareness, so he wants to get involved in everything."

Wan Shufang's words made the woman laugh. The redness on her cheeks deepened as she laughed, making her look even better.

"He Zhiming is indeed ignorant of himself, but Yaoyao has to give in to him because he is proficient in poison techniques."

After laughing enough, the woman invited Wan Shufang to sit next to her.

Wan Shufang stared at her for a while and felt that she had something important to tell her, so she sat down beside her as she wished and poured herself a cup of tea.

Her calm and relaxed attitude made the woman raise her eyebrows slightly, but thinking of Liu Yaoyao's matter, the woman said with a worried look on her face: "Yaoyao and I will never be as free as you, just because we are carrying heavy shackles on our shoulders."

When the woman said this, her attitude was sincere but her expression was extremely calm, as if no matter how heavy the shackles on her were, she did not take them seriously.

Wan Shufang couldn't help but feel that something was wrong. Since the woman mentioned the shackles in front of her, it meant that she cared about it very much and maybe hoped that she could help her.

But her expression didn't look like that, it felt like she was just whining without any reason.

Wan Shufang wanted to figure out what she was thinking, but felt she had no idea where to start.

Stroking the teacup tightly with her thumb, Wan Shufang asked tentatively: "Madam, do you want me to help you?"

"Are you willing to help me?" The woman looked surprised.

Hearing that she really wanted her to help, Wan Shufang hesitated for a while before asking softly, "How do you want to break the shackles? If I help you, what will Liu Yaoyao do? Is she willing for you to do this?"

Wan Shufang asked several questions in succession, staring at the woman, not daring to miss the slightest change on her face.

Facing Wan Shufang's gaze, which was as real as a real thing, the woman looked embarrassed: "I just said it out of my feelings, don't take it to heart."

Wan Shufang was stunned when she heard this. It was a woman who asked for help, and it was also a woman who told her not to take it seriously.

So what did she want to do? Just tell her about her troubles?

Wan Shufang had all kinds of thoughts in her mind, and she felt more and more that this woman seemed to know a lot of things and had her own ideas in her mind. She was unwilling to go along with the people in Prince Rong's Mansion.

But why didn't she say it directly? Instead, she had to hide it. Was she worried that there might be ears on the other side of the wall?

At this point, Wan Shufang was a little unsure of the woman's thoughts, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't understand your situation, and I don't know what you are worried about, so I naturally won't take your words to heart."

After she finished speaking, she picked up the tea and took a sip, but she was always paying attention to the changes in the woman's expression out of the corner of her eye.

When the woman heard her words, her face suddenly became bitter.

She glanced at Wan Shufang, and seeing that she really didn't take her words seriously, she couldn't help but grab her handkerchief.

After pulling the handkerchief for a long time, the woman's eyes were filled with sorrow and sadness as white as snow. "Prince Rong wanted to rebel. Yaoyao was a remnant of the previous dynasty. She was saved by Prince Rong. Once she knew what Prince Rong meant, she wanted to give up her life."

"I watched with a cold eye, but I found that Prince Rong was just using Yaoyao. Once Yaoyao was no longer useful, he would completely abandon her."

"Wan Shufang, what Yaoyao did was indeed outrageous, but she did it to repay her gratitude, not out of a desire to rebel, so I implore you to persuade her and not let her go down this path."

The woman's voice was a little hoarse as she spoke, as if she was about to be unable to speak.

Wan Shufang put the teacup aside, took out a handkerchief and handed it to the woman, saying earnestly: "Is this your idea, or is this Liu Yaoyao's idea?"
