“That’s just a girl, and hurting her brings no advantage to your Master’s struggle for the throne!” Jiang Ning said anxiously.

“Alright then, go back and kill the Prince of Yu in exchange for your daughter’s life.”

“That’s impossible.”

“In that case, I’m sorry.” The assassin sneered, “I’m afraid you’ll never see your daughter again.”

“Don’t!” Jiang Ning shouted in panic, “Please don’t hurt her! I can give you money, as much as you want!”

“Now you’re worried? Who asked you to leave the Prince of Yu’s residence, giving us an opportunity?” The assassin stepped forward, “We’re not really interested in your daughter, after all, she’s just a young girl, killing her wouldn’t mean much. But you…”

He reached out—

Jiang Ning dodged back and fell to the ground.

At this moment, Li Hongyuan galloped over on horseback and killed the assassin with a single sword strike.

The remaining assassins looked shocked at the scene.

“Prince Yu, you—”

Before they could finish speaking, Li Hongyuan’s cold blade flashed past.

All the assassins died under his sword.

Jiang Ning stared at him blankly.

Li Hongyuan jumped off his horse, ran to her, and saw her pale complexion and disheveled hair. He frowned, reached out to help her up, and asked, “Are you… alright?”

Jiang Ning just stared at him, motionless.

“Are you hurt anywhere?” Li Hongyuan asked anxiously, pulling her up.

Jiang Ning spoke, “It was you.”

“What?”

“You commanded the dogs to separate my carriage from Lingzi’s, then lured me here. Was all this your doing?” Jiang Ning articulated each word.

“No.”

“You still dare to deny it?” Jiang Ning pointed at the assassins, “They are completely different from the ones who tried to kill me last time! Just now, seeing you, that assassin not only recognized you but also revealed shock instead of fear! If they were sent by other princes, they would target you and the first child, why would they care about me and my daughter!”

“Actually…”

Slap!

Jiang Ning slapped him across the face, “Li Hongyuan, you bastard!”

Li Hongyuan grabbed her, “I just wanted you to stay!”

“There are many ways to make me stay, why do you have to choose the stupidest and worst method?” Jiang Ning’s eyes were red, “Li Hongyuan, are you bullying me because I’m crippled, unable to resist or escape in the face of assassins?”

“Jiang Ning, I didn’t want to bully you, I just wanted to scare you so you’d stay peacefully with your daughter in the Prince of Yu’s residence. How could I bully you?”

Jiang Ning looked at him coldly, shook off his hand, and moved step by step towards the carriage.

But without a wheelchair or crutches, she couldn’t walk.

She fell to the ground after just a few steps.

“Jiang Ning!” Li Hongyuan hurried over to help her.

Her hands were scraped raw from the ground.

Li Hongyuan’s heart ached.

“You’re injured, let me take you back.”

“Get lost!” Jiang Ning said coldly, “I never want to see you again in my whole life!”

Watching her struggle towards the carriage, Li Hongyuan’s heart was instantly filled with regret.

He suddenly realized something.

He thought he was trying to keep the daughter, but in reality, he was trying to keep Jiang Ning.

He didn’t want her to leave.

He didn’t want to have nothing to do with her from now on.

He… had fallen for her.

Although he didn’t know when this feeling had changed.

But at this moment, the emotions were real and unmistakable.

Why be so stupid?

She had been in the prince’s residence for so long, but he hadn’t realized it until now, after he had done something to hurt her, after seeing her being bullied, her tears, and her injuries.

Only then did he find out that he actually liked her..
