Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage Chapter 254 – Cold-blooded

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Cold-blooded

Everyone exhaled a collective sign of relief, only then noticing their clothes soaked with sweat.

The housekeeper wiped off his sweat and asked, “Seventh Miss, what should we do now?”

Unknowingly, Jiang Ning had become the backbone of the group.

Jiang Ning said, “Uncle Wu, we still need your help. Please stay here with the family servants and immediately inform me if anything unusual happens outside.”

“Don’t worry, Seventh Miss!”

“Wenren Zong is still important. For his safety, the Imperial Army will not act rashly for now. But, once the news reaches the King of Chen, it will be a different story. Mother, we need to go back and discuss what we should do next.”

If the King of Chen dared to stage a coup and commit these atrocities, would he really care about Wenren Zong’s life?

They don’t have much time left.

To avoid causing panic among the family, Jiang Ning asked Xiaoman to keep Wenren Zong in a side room near the central gate, with Xiaoman to watch over him. She and Lin Zizi back to them roughly what is going on outside.

Hearing that the King of Chen had staged a coup, everyone was indeed frightened.

“What will happen to the Old Master and Third Brother?”

The two aunts were at a loss.

It seemed that Aunt Liu, who usually seemed formidable and could suppress Madam Lin Zizi, turned into a paper tiger when facing a big issue, even less composed than Aunt Bai.

“Seventh Sister, do you have any idea?” Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning said, “Before the King of Chen sends anyone here, we should leave this place first.”

“But where can we hide now? The current city is probably in chaos and full of the Imperial Army. It’s impossible to leave the city.”

“Hiding does not necessarily mean leaving the city.”

Jiang Ning slowly said, “You should all scatter and head in different directions.”

“Why is that?” Jiang Yan curiously asked.

“To distract the Imperial Army’s attention.” Jiang Ning responded.

Lin Zizi glanced at her and said, “Ningning, come with me, I need to talk to you.”

She pulled Jiang Ning aside, directly asking, “Ningning, you know they are targeting only me, why do you want everyone to hide? For everyone, the safest thing to do right now is to stay in the mansion without making any reckless moves.”

“If they are safe, what about Mother?”

“Ningning, you can’t do this.” Lin Zizi frowned. “You can’t protect just me and sacrifice others. They are your family too.”

“The Imperial Army’s targets are not them, they won’t harm them.”

“But it’s still dangerous.”

“I don’t care. I only know that I have to protect Mother now. Don’t forget why King of Chen is trying to kidnap only you. That will lead to worse consequences. As for what’s more important, Mother, you should be clearer than me. What I’m doing may seem heartless, but it’s actually the best choice.”

Lin Zizi watched her daughter stunned, “Ningning, you…”

She didn’t know what to say.

She realised that Jiang Ning’s personality is completely different from hers.

She is rational to the point of being cold-hearted.

“I remember Third Brother told me there is a secret passage in our house. Only the legitimate wife and offspring have the right to know it.” Jiang Ning continued, “Mother, you should know where it is. Take a maid with you and hide in the secret tunnel. I’ll have the others leave through the back door in different directions. This way, the Imperial Army will think you’ve also escaped and won’t search here. This way, you can be safe for now.”

“No, we can’t just for my sake…”

“Mother, listen to me.” Jiang Ning called Lin Zizi’s maid and told her to accompany the Madam to the secret passage..
