After the concubine ran away, the cold prince lost control

Chapter 440 That daughter is not your biological child

After failing to assassinate the young princess, Zhang San was immediately at a loss as to what to do when he heard that all the hired assassins had been arrested.

"Let's run for our lives." Zhang San's old wife, Sun, cried, "If we fall into the hands of that cold-faced regent, we will definitely live a life worse than death. The princess just offended him, but he pushed us into the water without caring about the prince's face. We are just slaves, and he will definitely pull out our tendons and skin us alive."

At this point, Zhang San was no calmer than his wife. He was so scared that his legs were shaking: "There is no time to lose, run for your life."

"Okay." Sun said, and hurriedly went to pack up her things: "I'm afraid that many of the valuables in the house cannot be taken away."

"Just take the banknotes. Don't take the rest. Saving your life is the most important thing." As he said that, Zhang San also started to busy himself by rummaging through the boxes and cabinets.

The couple packed up their money and were about to leave when Zhang San suddenly remembered his sister: "Go tell our eldest sister to run with us."

Sun rolled her eyes at her husband: "It's already this time, and you're still thinking about her. If it weren't for your good sister, would we have fallen to this point?"

"It's a matter of life and death. I can't just ignore her."

Sun waved her hands and said, "I think we should just forget it. She can't leave her crazy daughter behind. If we delay any longer, the regent will probably come to kill us. By then, we won't be able to escape even if we want to."

Zhang hesitated for a moment, then made up her mind: "Okay, let's not tell her."

"go!"

He took big strides and was about to leave the house with his old wife when the door was opened from the outside with a bang.

It’s Zhang.

She glanced at her brother, then at her sister-in-law, and asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhang San saw this and had no choice but to answer truthfully: "Sister, those assassins have been caught by the guards and will betray us sooner or later. I advise you to escape with us."

Zhang laughed when she heard this. She looked at Zhang San with a hint of despair in her eyes: "The regent has connections everywhere. If this is exposed, do you think we can escape?"

"You have to flee even if you can't." Sun said with a threatening face, "Are you going to wait to die here?"

As she spoke, she tugged at Zhang San and said, "I told you, she can't bear to leave her crazy daughter, so she won't go with us. Let's run for our lives without delay."

Seeing this, Zhang San did not delay any longer and went out with Sun, but was stopped by Zhang.

"Brother." She called Zhang San in a deep voice. When he turned around, she looked at him and said, "Brother, do you still remember what I said before I died?"

She had tears in her eyes: "I want you to take good care of me."

Seeing his sister was moved, Zhang San was also touched, so he sighed and said: "Sister, it's not that I won't help you, but now the disaster is imminent, what can I do? I advise you to accept your fate and leave your daughter behind. The princess is a kind person. Even if this matter is exposed, she will not do anything to Huayang because of the mother-daughter relationship over the years. If you can let it go, follow me and your sister-in-law to escape."

Zhang San talked a lot, but Zhang Shi seemed not to hear him. She smiled sadly, "Brother, since you promised me to take care of me, you must keep your promise."

Before Zhang San could speak, Sun said anxiously, "Hasn't your brother done enough for you over the years? If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up homeless and desperate."

"Let's go, ignore her." Sun pulled Zhang San and was about to go out. "Brother, wait."

Hearing Zhang's call, Zhang San paused. Before he could react, a sharp dagger pierced straight into his abdomen. Zhang San growled in pain and looked at his sister in disbelief.

"Brother, as long as you die, the secret will be kept. All the sins of murdering the little princess will be borne by you alone."

As she spoke, she suddenly pulled out the dagger. Seeing this, Sun, who was standing by, was frightened out of her wits. Seeing Zhang rushing towards her again, she was so scared that she crawled out of the house and ran out through the corner door at the risk of her life.

The next day, Lu Ji visited Prince Xian's mansion.

The wife of Prince Xian and his wife were chatting with the wife of Prince Yu. When they heard the steward at the door say that the Regent wanted to see them, they were all stunned.

"What is he doing here?" Princess Xian had never had a good impression of Lu Ji. Upon hearing the news, she looked at her husband and said, "He has weakened the Zhao family. Even you, the head of the Zhao family, have been driven out of the court by him. Could it be that he is still unwilling to give up and is here to cause trouble for us?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Xian replied, "That won't happen. Although he is cruel, he is not unreasonable. Now no one in the court dares to oppose him. He has no reason to come and cause trouble for me."

After hearing what her husband said, Princess Xian heaved a sigh of relief: "Since he has come to see the prince, my sister and I will avoid him first."

Princess Princess of Yu had always believed that Qin Xiaoning was her daughter. Now that she heard that Lu Ji had come to her house, she really wanted to meet her son-in-law.

Seeing that Princess Yu was sitting still, Princess Xian saw through her thoughts and said hurriedly, "Sister, even if you want to recognize your daughter, don't even think about finding any possibilities with Lu Ji. He is such an unkind person."

"He dared to kill people in the court. He is a big devil."

The Princess of Prince Xian had a gentle personality, and after marriage, she was loved and cared for by Prince Xian in every way, which further cultivated her simple and gentle personality.

"Let's go." She urged Princess Yu: "I don't want to see such a big devil."

As soon as the two sisters went down, Lu Ji followed the butler into the hall of Prince Xian's mansion. Although Prince Xian had some estrangement with them in his heart, he was a kind person and finally stood up to greet them politely.

Lu Ji clasped his fists with Prince Xian and sat down on the chairs. The man who had walked through mountains of swords and seas of fire was a powerful person with terrifying aura. At this moment, his face was extremely cold, which made Prince Xian, who had seen big scenes, feel a little uneasy.

"The Regent has arrived, but what business do you have?" Prince Xian asked tentatively.

Lu Ji turned his head, his eyes sharp.

"May I ask Your Majesty, is the virtuous princess here? Could the princess come over? This matter requires the princess to be present."

When Prince Xian heard this, he became even more confused.

"My wife is in poor health and cannot meet guests. I hope the Regent will not mind." This man was too murderous and the virtuous prince was afraid of scaring his wife.

He has always been protective of his wife, so he said, "Regent, if you have anything to say, just ask. I am here. If it concerns my wife, I can also make the decision."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ji said coldly, "I'm afraid this matter will require the princess to come forward in person."

Glancing at Prince Xian's puzzled look, Lu Ji said directly: "Your Highness may not know that the daughter you and the princess have raised for many years is not your own flesh and blood."
