Chapter 1560 Xin Changsheng
Liu Ying's questioning made Mrs. Shang's face turn pale. She said earnestly: "You would rather trust a few outsiders than trust me?"
Liu Ying quickly shook her head when she heard this: "I didn't believe outsiders. I just felt that Wan Shufang and Chen Changli's suspicions were justified, so I wanted to know the truth."
"If they have wronged you, I will make them wish they were dead, no matter what the cost."
Liu Ying made these harsh words with a cold expression, but her expectant eyes were fixed on Old Lady Shang, as if she hoped that she would give her a definite answer.
Why did Mrs. Shang tell Wan Shufang that she felt guilty, and why did she quickly refuse when Wan Shufang wanted to help her? Of course, it was because she couldn't express her guilt.
But now Chen Changli and Wan Shufang have guessed everything from her words. If she continues to hide it, won't Liu Ying become suspicious of her?
As this thought came to her mind, Mrs. Shang felt a bitter taste in her mouth, as if she was about to spit out poison and make Wan Shufang and her husband suffer.
"What Wan Shufang and his wife said may not be correct, but their speculation gave me a sudden enlightenment. It was also at this moment that I realized why Chang Xuewei was staring at me."
Old Mrs. Shang lowered her eyes and used her eyelashes to hide the emotions deep in her eyes, not letting Liu Ying see anything.
"Ying'er, I really didn't know about this before. Believe me, don't be fooled by what they said. Otherwise, you will be the only one who will be confused, and they will be the ones who are proud."
Her words were half an admission that her research on the Phoenix Gu had brought disaster to her family and the Gu clan. Liu Ying was stunned for a moment.
"My mother's death may have something to do with you." It took Liu Ying a long time to say this.
Mrs. Shang felt that she was wronged and cried out: "My sister's death has nothing to do with me! Ying'er, how can you think like that?"
Liu Ying frowned: "Chang Xuewei appeared beside my father seven years ago. Five years ago, the Gu tribe was destroyed and my mother had no one to rely on, so she was treated coldly by my father."
Staring straight at Old Lady Shang, Liu Ying's face showed a painful expression. "My mother died half a year later. Chang Xuewei slandered me and harmed me, so my father sent me to the White Lotus Sect to become a saint."
"At that time, the deputy leader of the White Lotus Sect was already researching the Phoenix Gu and had begun to send people to search for various Gu masters and poison masters."
After saying this in one breath, Liu Ying's eyes turned slightly red, and crystal clear tears rolled down her cheeks unconsciously.
She cried sadly, as if she was about to be immersed in the past, but she didn't want to cry too sadly and make people laugh at her.
She quickly wiped away her tears and asked, "Aunt, when did your family get into trouble? Can you tell me the truth?"
Old Lady Shang looked up at her and said in a serious tone, "I suffered a catastrophe four years ago when my family was wiped out. Half a year later, I joined the New Heaven Society with the help of the Sixth Prince."
"Are you serious?" Liu Ying was a little unconvinced.
Old Lady Shang wanted to block it and swear: "You are my only relative in this world, I will not lie to you."
Liu Ying saw that she looked quite anxious, as if she cared about her relative very much and didn't want to be misunderstood. She immediately showed a touched look on her face, "Aunt, I believe you."
She reached out and gently hugged Old Lady Shang, put her head on her shoulder, then closed her eyes and tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart.
There was indeed some emotion in Mrs. Shang's words, but she knew even more clearly how fake the emotion Mrs. Shang revealed was.
"As long as you are willing to believe me." Old Lady Shang reached out and patted her shoulder. Her voice was choked with sobs, but where no one else could see, her face was gloomy for a moment.
"It's really touching!" When Wan Shufang saw the two people's daily routines, she felt like two weasels with bloody hands testing each other.
She felt so sick that goose bumps appeared all over her body, and then she hugged her hands and shook.
Chen Changli saw the disgust in her eyes and immediately pulled her sleeve. When she looked at him, he shook his head.
Seeing this, Wan Shufang immediately understood his intention and nodded slightly to show that she understood. She then said in a cold voice, "If you two agree, then focus on the business and stop deliberately accusing us."
After she finished speaking, she felt Chen Changli's pulse and confirmed that the chaotic pulse had calmed down. She breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's a good thing that the Phoenix Gu was not taken out. At least you won't be in any serious trouble."
Just as Chen Changli was about to speak, Wen Baicao said, "During the time I was in the New Heaven Society, I also heard about Old Man Xia."
"This person joined the New Heaven Society ten years ago, and he brought the secret recipe of Phoenix Gu with him when he arrived."
"And it just so happened that seven years ago, he changed the secret recipe of Phoenix Gu, so I guess he and you had similar interests more than ten years ago, and then studied Phoenix Gu together with you."
Wen Baicao suddenly said this because he saw that Old Lady Shang was at a disadvantage but was still being stubborn, so he wanted to take the initiative to jump out and make the situation even more muddy.
Wen Baicao deliberately touched her chin in thought, blinked, and raised her voice, "Isn't your husband an excellent doctor? Why don't you ask him to help you, but ask your so-called junior brother to help you instead?"
"Could it be that your husband cannot bear to see such a thing, and you deliberately hid it from him?"
"But then, some things just don't make sense."
Intentionally leaving a suspense between his words, Wen Baicao continued without waiting for Old Lady Shang to refute.
"You said that you were extremely talented in the Gu tribe and were being trained as the future tribe leader, so why were you driven away?"
"Could it be that the Gu Clan also hates Phoenix Gu, but they noticed that you were researching Phoenix Gu, so they drove you, the future clan leader, out of the Gu Clan?"
Wen Baicao deliberately dragged out the last syllable of his words, then pretended to take a breath of cold air to attract the attention of the others.
"You don't think that Phoenix Gu can really make people immortal, that's why you are obsessed with it."
"Stop talking nonsense." Old Mrs. Shang was furious when her true thoughts were exposed.
Wan Shufang had sharp hearing and could tell from her embarrassment in an instant. She said with both anger and laughter, "You said before that you didn't believe in Phoenix Gu, but I didn't expect that you are the one who believes in it the most."
"Throughout history, many people have pursued immortality, but no one is as crazy as you." Wen Baicao sighed repeatedly.
Chen Changli thought about how the secret recipe of Phoenix Gu had led the Emperor and Empress to attack the White Lotus Sect, and his emotions were complicated and incomprehensible. "Once this person pursues immortality, he will be close to madness. Moreover, immortality has been an illusory rumor since ancient times. Anyone who believes it is a fool."
"Chen Changli, Phoenix Gu is an evil thing. I try to avoid it. How can I believe that it can really make me immortal?"
Listening to the two people's sighs, Old Lady Shang suddenly felt that she was being humiliated by them. She was so angry that her face turned pale and blue, looking very ugly.
Wan Shufang's eyes turned cold, and she said sarcastically, "I also thought you didn't believe it, but these things have revealed everything, Old Lady Shang, you are more stupid than the emperor and empress."
