“You don’t have to go.” Li Hongyuan enters the room, “How could you be so cruel as to separate a mother from her child?”

Jiang Ning wipes away her tears, transfers the first child to the wet nurse, and says indifferently: “I don’t want to be your obedient Princess Consort of Yu in your heart.”

“Others can do it, why can’t you?”

“Because I’m not them.”

Jiang Ning, leaning on a cane, stands up and walks past him.

Li Hongyuan gazes at her back, frowning.

In the end, she still leaves.

Four wet nurses are present; two stay behind with the first child, and two leave with Jiang Ning.

It’s not that the Jiang family can’t find good wet nurses, but they worry that the young girl won’t acclimate to a sudden change.

The wet nurse carries the second child in the carriage to the rear while Jiang Ning and Huang Ying sit in the front carriage.

The journey from the Prince of Yu’s Mansion to the Jiang family’s residence goes through several markets, and some relatively secluded places. Jiang Ning is dozing off when she suddenly hears a chorus of dog barks.

Startled awake, she sits up and asks, “What’s happening?”

Huang Ying rushes to lift the carriage curtain and exclaims in fright, “Princess, look outside! Why are there so many dogs?”

“Dogs?”

Jiang Ning looks out and indeed sees twenty or thirty stray dogs approaching the carriage.

Xiaoman also shivers: “I’m most scared of dogs…”

“Why did so many dogs suddenly surround us? There’s no meat smell in the carriage to attract them.” Jiang Ning is puzzled when all of a sudden, the swarm of dogs lunges at the horses, biting them.

Frightened, the horses bolt forward.

Jiang Ning nearly gets thrown out.

She clings onto the carriage and looks back, yelling, “Xiaoman, Xiaoman, go to Lingzi’s carriage to protect her!”

Although Xiaoman is afraid of dogs, she still has great strength. Hearing this, she immediately jumps onto the rear carriage.

Jiang Ning’s carriage crazily veers off course, quickly leaving the trailing carriages behind, and finally stops in a desolate area.

The coachman has long since disappeared.

Jiang Ning is battered and sees stars before her eyes.

Huang Ying has already passed out, and Jiang Ning doesn’t know if she’s injured. She calls her name twice but receives no response.

The carriage curtain is suddenly lifted.

Jiang Ning looks up to see several black-clothed, masked men armed with knives standing outside.

Her heart sinks in surprise.

Assassins again?

The memory of the last assassination attempt is still fresh in her mind.

Why are they back?

What reason do they have to assassinate her now that she has given birth?

“Come out!” The masked man coldly orders.

Jiang Ning has no choice but to brace herself and carefully step out of the carriage.

“Who are you?” She asks.

“Don’t you know who we are?” The man in black sneers, “Last time, the Princess Consort of Yu got lucky and survived. If you had stayed put in the Prince of Yu’s Mansion, we wouldn’t have anything on you. But you’ve got guts coming out like this.”

Jiang Ning calmly says, “I’ve already given birth to the child. There’s no point in killing me now.”

“Not kill you? Why don’t we make a deal? You take care of us, and we’ll let you live.”

Several assassins burst out with lewd laughter.

One even reaches out to touch Jiang Ning’s face.

“Don’t touch me!” Jiang Ning slaps his hand away, furious, “You disgusting and shameless creature! Do you have no respect for women? Don’t you have mothers and sisters? If you’re a real man, kill me now!”

One of the assassins coldly scoffs: “Quite a temper you have there. You’re not even afraid of death. Do you never think of your daughter?”

“My second child…” Jiang Ning’s heart sinks slightly.

Could it be that her daughter has already fallen into their hands?
