Chapter 1585 Anger
Old Mrs. Shang didn't care about Jiang Xuan's threat at all. She stared at Wan Shufang with burning eyes, as if Wan Shufang's answer was the most important in her heart.
Jiang Xuan noticed her intention and his heart was in suspense, but his face was tense so as not to let Mrs. Shang notice anything.
"For such an important matter, do you think Wan Shufang and Chen Changli would lie?" Jiang Xuan was surprised, and then sighed repeatedly, "I think you are old and confused, so you said some ridiculous words, which made me speechless."
When Old Lady Shang heard what he said, her eyes swept towards him like a knife, and she said sarcastically, "What benefits did they give you? Why do they let you protect them like this? Jiang Xuan, have you forgotten your identity?"
Her last sentence was full of meaningful sighs, as if she was reminding Jiang Xuan to clear his head and not just focus on the immediate benefits.
"What is my identity? You don't need to remind me here." Jiang Xuan heard her deep meaning and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Wan Shufang listened to the conversation between the two, raised her eyebrows, and smiled: "Old Madam, I thought you would think things through. If we discuss things again, we can achieve superficial cooperation."
"I didn't expect you to doubt me so much, and now you want to sow discord between Jiang Xuan and me."
"What on earth are you thinking of, trying to sow discord in front of me? Do you think I'm easy to bully?"
Wan Shufang's voice was full of silence, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Old Lady Shang was full of vigilance and suspicion.
She admitted that some of her previous words were tentative, but this was the tacit understanding they should have!
Old Lady Shang certainly knew what Wan Shufang meant by that, but out of caution, she had to confirm: "Are you sincere?"
Wan Shufang remained calm and said, "I just feel that my situation is very bad. I need like-minded people to work together to get a chance to survive."
"Chen Changli wouldn't think so." Old Lady Shang said solemnly.
Wan Shufang frowned slightly: "Chen Changli is my husband. He knows exactly what I am thinking, so he will agree with whatever I decide to do and will not have any objections."
"I have seen how close you and your wife are to each other, but cooperation is not that easy. Moreover, after what happened in Zaoyang County, I don't believe that you and your wife are still willing to cooperate with me." Old Lady Shang hinted at something.
Wan Shufang was stunned when she heard this, and then she looked up and down at Old Lady Shang to make sure that she was serious, and her eyes darkened.
Why was Mrs. Shang worried about this? Could it be that Chen Changli guessed right?
"I understand the worries in the old lady's heart, but wealth and honor are achieved through risk." Wan Shufang deliberately emphasized her tone, but her eyes were fixed on Old Lady Shang, not missing any emotional changes on her face.
Old Lady Shang looked very calm, not letting anyone see her true emotions at all. "Are you really going to do this?"
Wan Shufang smiled faintly and said, "It's not that I have to do this, but the opportunity is rare and will never come again."
Old Lady Shang was stunned for a long time before she sighed and said, "Actually, I have some guesses about your choice, but I still don't dare to agree to it, because I am a member of the Gu tribe and have such a connection with the Phoenix Gu."
"But after thinking it over, I suddenly realized that if I don't agree to you, apart from the Sixth Prince's people, there will be no one in Yongzhou City that I can trust."
"I don't dare to trust other people, so I have to plan every step carefully before doing anything I want to do."
"It's very tiring to scheme against others, not to mention that I don't have anyone I can use, so I have to do everything myself."
"But Xu Yi fell into Tu Zhizhi's hands, and he hates me deeply. If someone tells him about my affairs, we will both die here."
"Who wants to die when they can live? Anyway, I don't plan to die here, so I will keep the fact that the Phoenix Gu has undergone a transformation a secret in my heart and will not let the Eighth Prince know."
Old Lady Shang looked at Wan Shufang meaningfully, emphasizing the changes in the Phoenix Gu, and then signaled Wan Shufang to look at the bottle in her hand.
"Although this semi-finished product does not have the power of Phoenix Gu, it can turn some weak people into living dead. Therefore, you two need to cooperate with me to hand it over to the Eighth Prince."
Every word Mrs. Shang said was full of affirmation and confidence, and she did not allow Wan Shufang to refute.
As Wan Shufang listened to her words, she immediately understood her plan and her heart sank.
"You are so sure about the Phoenix Gu, probably because you have planned it from the beginning and are prepared to let Chang Xuewei trust you."
"Unfortunately, Chang Xuewei is suspicious by nature and has countless capable people under her. With her one order, countless doctors and Gu masters racked their brains to complete the task."
When Wan Shufang said this, a bitter smile appeared on her face.
"So your plan failed. You can only destroy the stronghold in Wumeng Mountains and avoid Chang Xuewei who is suspicious of you."
"You planned to run into us, otherwise why would you give us some advice in the Wumeng Mountains?"
When Old Lady Shang heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "I don't have that ability, Wan Shufang, don't think I'm cunning and calculating."
She sighed as she spoke: "To be honest, some things I did were completely unintentional, and the same was true when I ran into you two in Yongzhou City."
Her words were sincere and Wan Shufang could not deny it. She said expressionlessly, "Maybe I'm overthinking it, but I'd rather think more about it and be prepared."
When Old Lady Shang heard this, her brows slightly furrowed, but her expression was unusually calm: "I can help you find Chang Xuewei."
Before Wan Shufang could react, Jiang Xuan sneered, "What do you mean by helping us? Isn't this what you should do? Old Lady Shang, you have chosen to rely on the Eighth Prince just to save your life."
Hearing his sarcastic tone, Old Lady Shang, who originally didn't want to pay attention to him, suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart.
"Jiang Xuan, if you irritate me again, I guarantee you won't see the sun tomorrow." Old Lady Shang threatened unceremoniously.
"I'm not..." Jiang Xuan snorted coldly.
Wan Shufang interrupted him quickly: "Doctor Jiang, please say less. After all, some of what Madam Shang said makes sense. We need to think about it carefully."
After she finished speaking, she winked at Jiang Xuan, telling him to shut up and stop arguing with Old Lady Shang, lest she should have other ideas.
When Jiang Xuan received Wan Shufang's eye contact, it was as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him, and he became much more sober.
He quickly adjusted his mood and carefully said, "Chang Xuewei is very cruel, and I didn't know her identity before, and I offended her several times."
"Now that I know her identity, I'm worried that she will find a way to retaliate against me. So when I heard that Old Lady Shang could lure her out, I couldn't help but have wild thoughts."
He showed his fear of death very well, and Old Lady Shang sneered at this: "I am not Chang Xuewei. Although I may say something that makes you angry, I will not kill you directly. I will only make you wish you were dead but not alive."
Jiang Xuan heard the strong threat and lowered his eyelids to hide the coldness in his eyes, but said: "If I die, you won't be much better off. After all, Chang Xuewei and I have lived and died together."
