Chapter 1581 Suffering a Big Loss
Chapter 1581 Suffering a Big Loss
"Eighth Prince, please tell me something we can do right now. If we keep targeting each other over individual matters, how can we fight the enemy?"
Wan Shufang didn't think that the Eighth Prince would say such a thing for no reason. As her mind turned, she vaguely felt that the man knew her.
However, the Eighth Prince's attitude was unpleasant, so she naturally had to refute him calmly.
"Who is your enemy in your mind?" The eighth prince was silent for a while and suddenly asked.
Wan Shufang couldn't help but frown when she heard this: "What do you mean by that? Do you want to confirm something from me?"
Speaking of this, Wan Shufang looked at the Eighth Prince with a slightly cold expression.
"I just want to know how far you can go." The Eighth Prince smiled.
Wan Shufang felt even more strange and couldn't help but stare at him: "What exactly do you want to test?"
The Eighth Prince stared at Wan Shufang for a long time, but could not see any clues. He paused and said, "That person is from the family of your third daughter-in-law."
Bai Lian's family? When Wan Shufang heard this, she immediately exchanged glances with Chen Changli.
Seeing that his eyes were full of doubt, as if he was doubting the Eighth Prince's intentions, Wan Shufang's heart moved slightly, and she asked the Eighth Prince: "What is that person's name?"
"His surname is Bai, and his name is Bai Zhouxing." The Eighth Prince looked calm, "This person has a good relationship with Xu Yi. As soon as he learned about Xu Yi's relationship, he went to find Chang Xuewei and tried to get Chang Xuewei to come to the Yongwang Mansion to rescue people."
"It was also through his whereabouts that we were able to track down Chang Xuewei."
"I have never heard of this man's name." Wan Shufang saw the probing look in the eighth prince's eyes and spoke calmly.
Bai Lian's father only has her as his daughter. Because of this, he is determined to persuade the third son, Chen Hai, to become his son-in-law.
If Chen Changli's status was not higher, Chen Hai would have achieved his wish long ago.
And because of this, Wan Shufang was very clear that there was no one named Bai Zhouxing in Bai Lian's family.
"Really? But he spoke with certainty. Xu Yi even discussed with him about using this matter to deal with you and your wife." The Eighth Prince looked unconvinced.
"You arranged someone around him?" Wan Shufang asked in surprise.
The Eighth Prince's expression was indifferent: "If I hadn't arranged it this way, how would I know the relationship between him and your family?"
"If this man is related to Xu Yi, how could he be related to us? You know, you just said that he is the Sixth Prince's man." Chen Changli expressed his doubts.
The Eighth Prince took a deep breath and said, "I was also skeptical before, but his performance made me believe it."
Performance? When Chen Changli heard this, his eyebrows were twisted into knots.
Is this person's behavior related to their family?
Or was it that in order to stay alive, Bai Lian's father deliberately used the information about their family to seek refuge with the Sixth Prince, and in order to target their family, the Sixth Prince deliberately saved his life in several crises.
Are they letting people related to him come to Yongzhou City at this time just to use him to deal with them?
All kinds of thoughts were running through Chen Changli's mind, and no matter what kind of thought it was, it made him feel very irritated.
He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to rub his brow, and said calmly: "What are you going to do?"
The Eighth Prince heard that he spoke calmly but his expression was solemn. He knew that he had many doubts in his mind, but he was not prepared to clear them up for him.
"My idea is very simple, that is to let you test Xu Yi."
The Eighth Prince took a sip of tea with a calm expression, as if he knew that Chen Changli would not refuse his request.
"I promise you." Chen Changli did not plan to test the Eighth Prince any further. He just wanted to meet Bai Zhouxing through Xu Yi.
"Great." The Eighth Prince's mouth curled up slightly, "Come here, take our General Chen to see Master Xu."
Wan Shufang heard him so anxious, raised her eyebrows, and spoke quickly: "Why are you so anxious?"
Jiang Xuan straightened his expression and asked, "Can't Wan Shufang and I keep up?"
Glancing at the two of them, the Eighth Prince was in a complicated mood, but his face did not show it at all: "Do you really want to follow me?"
Jiang Xuan heard his tone was wrong and his expression was tense: "The three of us are one, and Xu Yi is related to Old Lady Shang, so we naturally have to test him together."
"Otherwise, if Xu Yi hides his true purpose like Old Lady Shang, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the opportunity to plot against Chen Changli?"
Seeing that the Eighth Prince's expression did not change because of his words, Jiang Xuan felt a little anxious, but his face was tense and he did not dare to show it.
"Three heads are better than one Zhuge Liang. As long as the three of us work together, we can definitely restrain Xu Yi and make him tell the truth."
Jiang Xuan tried hard to control his emotions and spoke seriously, but his eyes were always fixed on the Eighth Prince, not wanting to miss the slightest change on his face.
The Eighth Prince was stern and impartial: "Only Chen Changli can go to see Xu Yi. As for the two of you, I have other arrangements."
As he spoke, he finished the tea in one gulp and then made a gesture to Chen Changli to invite him in.
Wan Shufang frowned when she saw this, but did not insist. She just nodded to Chen Changli and told him to leave with peace of mind and not to worry about her.
Chen Changli received her eye signal and curled his lips, as if he was in a good mood. "Wait for me to come back."
Wan Shufang hummed softly, and after he left, she looked at the Eighth Prince and said, "You want us to contact Old Lady Shang, right?"
Jiang Xuan's eyebrows jumped when he heard this: "Old Lady Shang hates us to the core right now. You let us contact her at this time, isn't it just to make us bear her temper?"
The Eighth Prince's smile did not fade: "If I am not mistaken, you were planning to meet with Old Lady Shang alone."
Jiang Xuan stared at the Eighth Prince. Seeing his confident expression, as if he was certain of success, he said a little awkwardly, "This is just your guess."
The Eighth Prince looked at him silently and said sincerely, "If you are worried that Old Lady Shang will make a backup plan and retaliate against you, I will let you leave here."
Upon hearing what he said, Jiang Xuan's face turned pale, and his voice was like he was biting his teeth: "Stop threatening me."
The Eighth Prince despised him: "This prince is thinking about you, if you don't accept it, forget it."
Jiang Xuan tried to hold back his emotions, but found that he couldn't do it. He could only glare at the Eighth Prince: "I don't need your fake kindness."
"Doctor Jiang, don't be angry." Wan Shufang put her hand on her lips and coughed to attract the attention of both of them, then she began to comfort Jiang Xuan.
The Eighth Prince was slightly surprised: "Are you just going to appease him?"
Wan Shufang glanced at him and said unhappily, "Your Highness is of noble status, how can I appease him? Besides, wasn't it you who arranged for us to contact Old Lady Shang?"
"You have already made your decision. It's useless for us to object."
When Jiang Xuan heard this, he realized belatedly that the Eighth Prince was teasing him, and his face immediately fell.
"You are as cunning as a fox. Tu Zhizhi and Old Lady Shang are no match for you. If they underestimate you, they will only suffer a great loss."
