Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Niece to Daughter_1 Chapter 998: Chapter 998: Niece to Daughter_1 “An upright body does not fear a crooked shadow, why should you panic if there’s nothing wrong?” Jiang Ning mumbled.

“Anyway, Seventh Miss, you should know that although the Prince of Wutong loves his Princess Consort and daughter, in his heart, the Empress’s family is still more important!” Guxing noticed the excitement and fueled this turbulent situation.

Jiang Ning scoffed, “For just some old matters, he hurt his own daughter’s family. Prince, you really are a good father!”

“In order to achieve great things, sacrifices are inevitable. Furthermore, Ling’an will be safe.”

“Indeed, your daughter will be unharmed. I know my uncle is generous, even if Princess Ling’an is in his hands, he won’t harm her. But you, you’ve harmed your son-in-law and many innocent people!”

“Enough with meaningless words.” The Prince of Wutong coldly said, “The situation outside is chaotic. If the Princess Consort arrives, let her stay here temporarily to prevent her from running around and getting hurt.”

“Are you planning to lock me up?”

“I believe, the Crown Prince and Jiang Ruobai and Jiang Mubai, they all value the life of the Princess Consort.” The Prince of Wutong slightly smiled, “I have never seen someone willingly walk into a trap.”

“If you want to catch our Seventh Miss, you have to get through me first!” Guxing stood in front of Jiang Ning to protect her.

“Guxing, you might be good at petty theft, but compared to the boy outside named Gucheng, you are far behind in a fight. Unfortunately, that boy is too stupid, he listened too much to the Princess Consort and really let her come alone.”

The Prince of Wutong waved his hand, and a group of guards immediately flooded in from outside, surrounding Jiang Ning and Guxing.

Guxing’s skill was indeed not in fighting, and soon he was in a tough situation.

Jiang Ning hurriedly said, “Guxing, you go first and find Gucheng! The Prince of Wutong still needs me, he won’t hurt me for now!”

“Seventh Miss, don’t be scared, I’ll bring someone to rescue you promptly!”

Without any delay, Guxing broke through the encirclement and left alone.

Watching her disappearing figure, Jiang Ning’s heart was filled with hot tears.

She was left behind again.

With her limited skills, what’s the point of struggling?

Better to surrender, to avoid physical torment.

The Prince of Wutong didn’t make it hard for her.

After all, they once had a pleasant cooperation, and the Prince of Wutong admired her.

“If you were not the Princess Consort, we could have been friends despite our age difference.” The Prince of Wutong said, noticing his subordinates bringing hemp ropes, so he kicked them away, “Is this fit to bind the Princess Consort? Bring something else!”

The reluctant subordinates finally tore off a piece of cotton clothing and tied Jiang Ning’s hands behind her back with cotton strips.

The Prince of Wutong not only let her sit, but also gave her tea and snacks.

The tent was warm, apart from not being able to move her hands, Jiang Ning was comfortable. The only thing she found puzzling was why Gucheng hadn’t stormed the tent to rescue her?

Of course, she didn’t hope that Gucheng took any risks, but considering Gucheng’s personality, this was out of character.

Furthermore, Guxing, that beauty, hadn’t brought anyone to rescue her.

And so, from the lofty Princess Consort, Jiang Ning became the prisoner of the Prince of Wutong.

During the subsequent confrontations, the Prince of Wutong had Jiang Ning paraded atop the city wall, displayed to the other side, and conveyed a message to Jiang Mubai, “Release Princess Ling’an and surrender at the same time. Otherwise, the Princess Consort will be killed.”

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Mubai came out, squinting to look, wasn’t that his beloved niece whom he treats like his own daughter?

“Damn it, bring me someone!” Jiang Mubai roared, “Drag the Prince of Wutong’s daughter for me!”
