Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Chapter 496 Trading

"Lord Zhaoping, Cai Shu just came by."

Cheng Wan lay on the bed, blinked, and didn't say anything.

With Jin Jin there, she not only knew that Cai Shu had just arrived, but also what Cai Shu and Prince Jing had discussed.

Cai Shu's arrival gave her more opportunities to escape, but it could also become a catalyst for Prince Jing to kill her.

He was seriously injured by the thieves, and then his injuries worsened again in order to save Prince Jing, and he did not survive.

A perfectly valid reason for death.

Prince Jing did not blame Cheng Wan for lying down and not getting up to pay her respects.

Xuan Zheng had already given Cheng Wan a detailed report on how badly he was injured.

"Unfortunately, Marquis Zhaoping was discovered by spies from the birthday celebration delegation while he was here with me."

Prince Jing's eyes were filled with regret and barely concealed resentment.

Cheng Wan slightly curled her hands, which were placed at her sides.

So how does Prince Jing intend to deal with her?

Prince Jing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the frustration in his heart.

Since things have come to this point, we can only weigh the pros and cons and try to maximize our interests.

"Marquis Zhaoping, how about making a deal with me?" Prince Jing lowered his eyes and looked directly into Cheng Wan's eyes, which were dull and weak from exhaustion: "You were saved by me, and I promise not to harm your family."

This was a promise made by Prince Jing because Cheng Wan risked her life to save him tonight.

After all, Cheng Wan's "Letter to the Enemy Party" could frighten others, but it couldn't frighten Prince Jing.

As Prince Jing himself said, even if he had truly killed Cheng Wan's relatives, would Cheng Wan really dare to come after him and fight to the death?

Even if Cheng Wan really dared, her other surviving relatives would certainly suffer an even more terrible fate.

"Is Your Highness truly serious?" Cheng Wan's eyes brightened slightly.

Prince Jing nodded: "My word is as good as gold."

As things stand, Prince Jing does not want to kill Cheng Wan.

Regardless of why Cheng Wan died, her death in his hands would bring a series of troubles.

In the past, Prince Jing would not have been afraid of any trouble, as he had already prepared for the worst.

If he gets implicated, he'll just be fined some of his salary and, at most, locked up for a while longer.

But it's different now.

The assassins that attacked tonight still send chills down Prince Jing's spine when he thinks about it.

Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, this is the first time I've encountered such a dangerous situation.

Someone wants him dead!

He is a prince!

Prince Jing gritted his teeth in hatred. Just wait, once he finds out who the assassin's master is, he will make sure that person dies a horrible death!

Prince Jing took another deep breath; he would now focus all his energy on the attack.

Find the enemy and protect yourself.

He no longer had the energy to deal with the series of troubles that followed Cheng Wan's death.

Cheng Wan slightly opened her eyes, watching Prince Jing grit his teeth, take deep breaths, and squint or close his eyes...

Well... his expressions are quite varied.

But Cheng Wan could also tell that all of Prince Jing's expressions conveyed a certain emotion.

anger.

Cheng Wan secretly gossiped with Jin Jin: "Prince Jing is really enraged by the assassin."

Jin Jin was speechless: "Master, you still have the mind to care about this?! Your life is still in their hands!"

"Don't worry, I'm not destined to die. I won't die this time." Cheng Wan quickly explained to Jin Jin, "From the moment you told me that Prince Jing had Cai Shu invite Doctor Su, I knew that Prince Jing didn't intend to kill me. Otherwise, I wouldn't be lying here obediently waiting for Prince Jing to come."

Jin Jin didn't understand, but seeing Cheng Wan's confident and composed demeanor, she calmed down as well.

Prince Jing's expression gradually returned to calm, and Cheng Wan seized the opportunity to express her gratitude to Prince Jing: "Your Highness, I will never forget your kindness in saving me."
