Chapter 7 The Young Lady of the Noble Family 2
Prince Jin's face was dark, especially as Princess Jin kept nagging in front of him, "Your Highness, you must save our Rou'er! I don't know who is so heartless as to want to harm our Rou'er."
"Alright, you should go back and rest now. All the guards in the manor have been sent out, and the two children are searching with all their might. We should have news soon."
The Prince of Jin's mansion had a large number of wives, concubines, maternal relatives, and concubines. In total, he had two legitimate sons and one legitimate daughter, as well as three illegitimate sons and seven illegitimate daughters. This was only because the Princess of Jin was ruthless and killed many of them; otherwise, he would have had even more children.
But in the end, Prince Jin still preferred his three legitimate sons and daughters. Now that his legitimate daughter is in trouble, he is extremely anxious.
At this moment, the Crown Princess entered the front hall with two maids who had obviously been disciplined. "Greetings, Father and Mother. I just interrogated my sister's maids and found that they were stammering, so I tortured them. Lingguo couldn't withstand the torture and revealed the truth. She said that the assassin was hired by my sister herself!"
"What?!" The Prince of Jin and his wife both paled!
"Tell me what happened quickly!" Princess Jin asked anxiously.
Lingguo trembled with fear, but still managed to tell the story of Princess Changning's thoughts: "The princess has taken a liking to the heir of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion, but the heir of the Song family has already been engaged, and it is said that the wedding will be held at the end of the year. The princess wants that Miss Ning to break off the engagement on her own."
At this point, Lingguo gritted her teeth and said, "Previously, the princess bribed the servants of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion to push Miss Ning into the water, intending to drown her. Unexpectedly, Miss Ning could swim and recovered after a few days of catching a cold."
The princess devised a plan to hire a hitman. She instructed her servant to hire an assassin to kidnap Miss Ning in full view of everyone, ruin her reputation, and then kill her to avoid any future troubles.
The princess didn't want anyone to know she was behind it, so she instructed me to conceal my identity. I told the assassin to just capture the prettiest one, but unexpectedly, Miss Ning had a freckle on her face today, so the assassin kidnapped the princess instead.
After Lingguo finished speaking, she collapsed to the ground. She knew that after saying these words today, her life would end here. She only hoped that the prince and princess would give her a quick death and not involve her family.
Princess Jin felt dizzy and lightheaded, but she managed to stay upright and didn't faint. "Guards, drag this good-for-nothing hussy out and beat her to death with sticks!"
The Prince of Jin did not stop him, but pointed to the remaining maid and asked, "What about her? What did she do this time?"
The Crown Princess said, "She's the one in charge of bribing the servants of the Duke of Dingguo's mansion. I think there's something wrong with that. It's too easy. The person she bribed was the goddaughter of one of the head maids serving the Duchess of Ningguo."
Prince Jin didn't understand at first, and it took him two seconds to realize, "You mean, the Duchess of Dingguo doesn't like her daughter-in-law?"
Lingzhi, who was kneeling on the ground, nodded vigorously, "If it weren't for that, the princess wouldn't have thought of killing Miss Ning directly."
Moreover, she was made to die in a humiliating way, all to remove Ning Yan from Song Rui's heart. Otherwise, even if she married Song Rui, she would not be able to win his heart.
The Prince of Jin roared, "Fool! You think you're so clever! You've been used as a pawn and you don't even realize it! What a fine lady of the Duke of Dingguo!"
Princess Jin also realized something and immediately shuddered. "What a Wang! She looks down on the daughter-in-law her mother-in-law found for her and actually made my daughter do it. Just wait, just wait until I find my daughter. I'm not done with her!"
Guards, drag this little hussy away and beat her to death with sticks!
The princess was corrupted by those lowly maids!
Before the two maids could even beg for mercy, they were gagged and taken away. Soon, the sound of being beaten with a cane could be heard in the courtyard. The sound of beating stopped quickly, and two mangled corpses were carried out.
...
After Princess Changning was kidnapped by assassins, she was unable to leave the city. The people of Prince Jin's mansion had already sealed the city gates in advance, and anyone entering or leaving had to have their identity verified.
The assassin hid Princess Changning in a deserted courtyard, just as she woke up.
Just as she was about to scream for help, the assassin suddenly turned his head and said, "If you dare to scream, I'll cut your tongue out!"
"No! I am Princess Changning, the employer. You've arrested the wrong person! If you release me, I'll give you double the commission!"
The assassin scoffed, "You haven't even asked around? I, Su Qi, am a man of principle. Once I accept a job, I'll definitely complete it. Trying to bribe me with money? Heh..."
He became an assassin not because he was short of money, but because he enjoyed the thrill of killing. It's just that this hostage situation is a bit more complicated.
Killing her isn't enough; we also need to ruin her reputation.
He originally wanted to find a few men for this woman, but now it seems that won't work.
Then he'll have to do it himself!
Having figured this out, Su Qi immediately started to strip Princess Changning of her clothes. Princess Changning was terrified and tried to scream, but Su Qi grabbed her by the neck. She was not as strong as Su Qi, and soon Su Qi stripped her naked.
About fifteen minutes later, Su Qi withdrew. Princess Changning gritted her teeth and begged for mercy in a low voice, despite the pain: "Young Master Su, we have already been intimate. I think I am quite good-looking. If you let me go, I can ask my uncle, the Emperor, to grant us a marriage and make you my husband..."
She knew that Su Qi was truly ruthless and merciless. If she couldn't persuade him, she would only be waiting to die. Since she had already lost her virginity, she didn't mind trying to get him to cooperate first, and then wait until she returned to the palace...
With a whoosh, the sound of a longsword being drawn rang out, a flash of silver light, and Princess Changning felt a sharp pain in her neck as something was spat out, "Heh, heh heh..."
Then her head lolled to the side, and Princess Changning died with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
There was a commotion outside, it seemed that they were searching house to house. Su Qi wiped the blood off his longsword on Princess Changning, sheathed the sword, and left quietly.
Ning Yan, accompanied by her maid, left the Prince Jin's villa in a panic. Once she boarded her own carriage, the panic on her face immediately disappeared.
The carriage swayed and moved forward. Ning Yan closed her eyes to rest inside when suddenly the carriage shook violently. The maid fell to the ground with a cry of "Ouch!" and Ning Yan's head almost hit the carriage wall.
"What happened?"
The coachman replied tremblingly, "Yes, Miss, our carriage collided with another carriage."
Upon hearing this, Ning Yan put her veil back on and lifted the curtain to look outside. At this moment, the carriage in front had already broken into place, and the horse had fallen to the ground, barely breathing.
The coachman walked towards them, whip in hand. He was of ordinary appearance, the kind of person who would easily be overlooked in a crowd. He had a steady stance, sharp eyes, and a unique aura about him; he must have seen blood!
