Chapter 1550 Disappointment
"I am not a villain, and you are not a gentleman." The eighth prince's eyes were filled with unconcealable disgust.
Ye Yun immediately chimed in: "Your Highness is willing to help you, you should be grateful, how can you just do whatever you want?"
As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Changli and saw that he had been frowning. He didn't know what he was thinking. He then said, "Although Chen Changli and his wife are loyal to the prince, they can help your highness with some harmless things."
"If you are worried about this, you can explain it to His Highness. How can you be so pushy towards them? Do you really think they are the same as you?"
His words clearly belittled Old Lady Shang and praised Chen Changli and his wife.
Chen Changli glanced at him quickly, and seeing that he was walking towards Old Lady Shang with a face full of resentment, he said meaningfully: "Old Lady Shang's mind may have become confused because of her relatives."
"So you guys need to be more forgiving and don't argue with her, lest she bear a grudge against you."
Wan Shufang heard him speak so impolitely, with a smile on her face, "Liu Ying is much better than Xu Yi. When Mrs. Shang saw her and thought of Xu Yi, her heart was naturally biased."
"Who is Xu Yi?" Liu Ying's voice was gentle, as if she was concerned, but there was a flash of coldness between her brows.
After all, she was a remnant of the previous dynasty, and had served as a saint in the White Lotus Sect for several years.
Her heart had long since become hardened, and Old Lady Shang's attitude at the moment was somewhat capricious, so she would naturally be suspicious and reject her.
But when she heard the news about Chang Xuewei, Liu Ying knew that she could not reject Old Lady Shang.
It’s because Old Lady Shang is also quite capable. If she wants to take revenge, she has to use people to the fullest.
So when she heard about Xu Yi, who had a close relationship with Old Lady Shang, she became a little distracted.
"Xu Yi is my grandson." Old Lady Shang took the initiative to speak, "His mother looks a lot like your mother, so his eyebrows are somewhat similar to your mother's."
As she spoke, she reached out and touched Liu Ying's eyebrows, her eyes full of nostalgia, "After Chang Xuewei's matter is resolved, our family of three will return to the Gu tribe and never ask about the outside world again."
Liu Ying's eyelids jumped, but she said, "Aunt, we will definitely be able to take revenge."
After she said that, she glanced at Ye Yun out of the corner of her eye. Seeing that he was looking at her tenderly, as if he was happy for her, she felt sad and couldn't sleep.
Since she was saved by Ye Yun, she would naturally remember the kindness and want to repay him.
But there was something strange about Old Lady Shang. If she ignored it, Ye Yun would most likely suspect her.
After spending several months with Ye Yun, Liu Ying actually knew that he was trying to use her and did not like her.
It was because she had a different feeling for him that she almost forgot her hatred.
"We will definitely get revenge." Old Mrs. Shang hugged Liu Ying in her arms, patted her back gently, and slowly comforted her.
After a while, Liu Ying pretended to stop crying. She looked at Old Lady Shang with red eyes, but turned the topic to Chen Changli.
"The Phoenix Gu is the king of all Gu that was famous in the previous dynasty. It is an honor for Chen Changli to have it reside in his body."
"But the Eighth Prince is looking forward to the Phoenix Gu. I used a method to marry the Phoenix Valley before, but I couldn't get the Phoenix Gu out after all the methods I tried."
Having said this, Liu Ying deliberately explained the method she had used, and then stared at Old Lady Shang, hoping that she could give her some advice.
"I've been thinking about this idea for a long time, but why is it useless? Is Phoenix Gu really that powerful?"
Old Lady Shang listened to Liu Ying's words and smiled helplessly, "If you use this method on other Gu Kings, it will definitely work as you wish, but the one in Chen Changli's body is the Phoenix Gu."
"So it's not that your method is useless, it's that you underestimated the toxicity of the Phoenix Gu, which is why your Gu didn't work."
When Liu Ying heard this, she suddenly felt a headache.
But even though she had a headache, seeing that Old Lady Shang was confident of winning, she quickly asked, "Then how is Aunt going to take out the Phoenix Gu? Can I help?"
Seeing her expectant look, Old Lady Shang took a closer look at the yard and found that it had been almost cleaned up. She said, "Not only can you help me, but you can also help a lot."
She reached out and patted the back of Liu Ying's hand, then began to direct people to sweep the yard.
Smelling the scent of mugwort all over the yard, Wan Shufang couldn't help but frown. Mugwort can kill viruses and sterilize, but the smell is very pungent.
Old Lady Shang asked people to use a large amount of mugwort, which could make the whole yard safer, but her actions made Wan Shufang more worried. After all, Old Lady Shang would attack Chen Changli later.
Feeling uneasy, Wan Shufang unconsciously held Chen Changli's hand.
"What are you doing?" The Eighth Prince watched for a long time but couldn't understand what Old Lady Shang meant. As time passed, he became a little anxious.
Old Lady Shang ignored him and continued to give orders. After the whole yard was fumigated with mugwort, she nodded contentedly and then turned to look at the Eighth Prince.
Seeing that he looked a little cold, as if he was dissatisfied with her not answering him just now, Old Lady Shang's eyes moved slightly, and she smiled and said: "Phoenix Gu is the king of Gu, it has absolute suppression on Gu insects."
"Not only can wormwood disinfect, it also has a strong smell. Many poisonous insects are repelled by its smell."
"What about the Phoenix Gu?" Ye Yun became curious after listening to Old Lady Shang's explanation.
Old Mrs. Shang blew the mugwort so hard. If she encountered the same result as Liu Ying, wouldn’t she be angry and embarrassed?
Ye Yun thought so in his mind and quickly glanced at Liu Ying.
This glance just happened to capture the flash of cruelty across Liu Ying's face.
A smile flashed across Ye Yun's eyes. It turned out that Liu Ying only wanted to use Old Lady Shang and had no so-called family affection for her.
"I haven't seen the Phoenix Gu yet. If I see it, I will give you an answer immediately." Old Lady Shang looked at Ye Yun with a rather cold tone.
Ye Yun didn't look surprised at all when he heard this. He just smiled and said, "If you and Liu Ying work together, you will naturally see the Phoenix Gu."
Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, Old Lady Shang couldn't help but look at him again.
Seeing that he looked calm, as if he had no doubts about her, Old Lady Shang was silent for a moment and then said, "The effect of mugwort is greater than you think, but the Phoenix Gu is indeed not to be underestimated."
"I will do my best to suppress the Phoenix Gu and let the Eighth Prince get what he wants."
Her words sounded like a promise. After hearing this, the Eighth Prince looked at her deliberately, and then looked at Chen Changli.
Seeing that he was as indifferent as ever, as if he had not listened to what he and Old Lady Shang said, the Eighth Prince stroked his chin and said, "This prince only hopes for everything, so please don't let me down."
After saying this, the Eighth Prince left.
He didn't want to stay and see what happened to Chen Changli because he was worried that it would be a torturous punishment that he couldn't bear.
Watching the Eighth Prince leave, Old Lady Shang curled her lips and asked in an inexplicable tone: "Why did the Eighth Prince leave? Isn't he worried that I will fail?"
