Chapter 1586 Enemy Attack
Old Lady Shang was surprised, and then she looked at Jiang Xuan carefully. Seeing his calm expression, she felt a little uneasy, and immediately said in a cold voice: "This is impossible."
Jiang Xuan sneered, "How can it be impossible? Old Lady Shang, don't be so self-righteous."
Hearing the last few words, Old Lady Shang frowned: "You are even more annoying than I thought."
Jiang Xuan glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously sank: "No matter how annoying I am, I am still better than you."
Old Mrs. Shang's hands were shaking slightly. The anger was surging in her heart, but she forced it down.
Wan Shufang noticed that Old Lady Shang's hands were shaking. She frowned slightly, revealing a hint of a smile, but then returned to normal. "If you two have other ideas, why not take this opportunity to make them clear."
Before she finished her words, Old Lady Shang's expression changed.
She quickly glanced at Wan Shufang and saw that she looked calm, as if she was not worried at all about her and Jiang Xuan quarreling. She quickly restrained her expression and said in a gentle tone: "It seems that Jiang Xuan has gained the trust of you and your wife, so he is so bold."
After she finished speaking, she immediately let out a breath of foul air.
She had made everything clear, and Wan Shufang also knew it. She thought that once both sides had a tacit understanding, they could cooperate in doing things secretly. She never expected that an outsider like Jiang Xuan was so important in Wan Shufang's heart.
"I took it for granted, which made you think differently. Maybe I should listen to you and do what you say."
Old Mrs. Shang had a forced smile on her face, but her eyes were staring at people with an icy cold look.
"In this way, we have reached a tacit understanding, but what will happen next is not something we can control."
When Old Lady Shang said this, her mood suddenly became calm.
She smiled gently and said, "In three days, I will take out the Phoenix Gu in front of the Eighth Prince. Wan Shufang, you must make it clear to Chen Changli, and don't make any mistakes in front of the Eighth Prince."
"Otherwise, if the Eighth Prince has other ideas, I won't be able to help you."
After saying this, Old Lady Shang sighed and made a gesture to Wan Shufang to come in.
"It's almost time, you guys should go back, there's no need to waste your time here with me."
Wan Shufang came here today intending to test Old Lady Shang, but she didn't expect to be confirmed by her.
Her mood was complicated, but she didn't show it on her face. She just nodded to Old Lady Shang and left with Jiang Xuan.
As soon as the two left the yard, they looked at each other.
Seeing the helplessness in the other party's eyes, Wan Shufang spoke first: "Mrs. Shang is very confident. We can't confront her head-on."
Jiang Xuan's face was filled with sorrow: "This woman is calculating too much, and her words can touch people's hearts. I'm really worried that she is another Chang Xuewei, but she is better at hiding than Chang Xuewei."
He said those words before because he wanted to test Mrs. Shang's bottom line.
Old Lady Shang seemed to be angry at his words and hated him, but when she thought about what this man had done in private, Jiang Xuan felt that her anger was fake.
Maybe she was pretending to be angry on purpose to deceive him, or to make him let down his guard, and then she would give him a heavy blow, making him irreparable.
"Mrs. Shang has been able to hide herself for so long, which shows that her patience is unmatched by ordinary people. In other words, in addition to being alert to her, we must also investigate her background as soon as possible."
Wan Shufang felt endless sorrow in her heart as she listened to Jiang Xuan's words.
Old Lady Shang was more difficult to deal with than she had thought. She did not know her well, and if she speculated on everything based solely on her appearance, it would only make her hide herself even deeper.
"It's a pity that we are trapped here and have no one to use. How can we find out her background?"
Wan Shufang became more and more annoyed as she spoke, and her brows unconsciously twisted into a knot.
"Let's not talk about this anymore." Jiang Xuan loosened his clenched hands. "If the walls have ears, we may lose our freedom in the future."
After he said this, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
If Old Lady Shang is so confident, if he wants to stay alive, he can only do everything he can to deal with her, or let her die.
However, it was obvious that Old Lady Shang was very important to the Sixth Prince. If he killed Old Lady Shang, he would probably completely offend the Sixth Prince.
When Jiang Xuan's thoughts turned to this, his eyes moved slightly, as if he was conflicted for a moment.
"Let's go back first." Jiang Xuan said, and walked forward.
Wan Shufang felt that he was hiding something from her and wanted to ask him, but when she thought of his words, she could only suppress her annoyance and follow him closely.
When she returned to the yard, Chen Changli had not come back yet. Wan Shufang couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but she felt an inexplicable worry churning in her heart.
She tried hard to calm herself down, but found that she couldn't suppress such emotions.
She couldn't help but walk back and forth in the yard with her brows tightly furrowed.
Jiang Xuan was lost in his own thoughts and didn't react for a long time.
When he noticed Wan Shufang's condition from the corner of his eye, he woke up from his dream. He looked around to make sure there was nothing wrong. Then he came to Wan Shufang and asked in a low voice, "What did you think of?"
"I didn't think about anything. I don't know why, but I felt very uneasy, as if something was going to happen." Wan Shufang shook her head at him.
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he felt strange.
He was about to speak when he suddenly heard shouting and screaming outside.
"Did someone break in?" Wan Shufang pricked up her ears to listen to the noise outside, a hint of surprise flashed across her face.
This is the Yong'an Palace, the territory of the Eighth Prince. Apart from the Sixth Prince and the Ninth Prince who might find ways to target the Eighth Prince, only Tu Zhizhi might cause some trouble and give the Eighth Prince a headache.
But the Eighth Prince has been very well behaved recently. Ye Yun, who is an extremely vigilant person, has slightly eased his surveillance on Tu Zhizhi because of the Eighth Prince's attitude. So who called in at this moment?
Wan Shufang had all sorts of thoughts running through her mind, but she felt extremely confused and her face unconsciously sank.
But they didn't expect that the sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was directed at the two of them.
When Wan Shufang heard this, she quickly glanced at Jiang Xuan.
Seeing his face change, as if he was thinking of something bad, Wan Shufang quickly said, "Should we find a place to hide, or go out and see what's going on?"
Jiang Xuan felt that something was wrong outside, and after weighing the pros and cons, he said, "We have to hide."
As he spoke, he immediately looked around, but found that there was no place to hide in the yard.
He gritted his teeth and cursed: "It's better that those people were deliberately sent by the Eighth Prince to intimidate us, otherwise we might die here today."
"Don't be so pessimistic." Wan Shufang immediately comforted him and took him to a remote place.
The two had just taken a few steps when they heard a series of footsteps coming towards them.
The two of them quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see the guards outside running in hurriedly.
"Hurry up and follow us. Don't run around. Otherwise, if the enemy attacks, you will be captured."
