Chapter 106
Tan Zong’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. The way the Commandery Princess spoke to Prince Duan made it seem as if the Princely Heir was someone insignificant. Could it be that in front of the Princely Heir, her behavior was all an act?
Uncle Han could no longer hold back, grabbing Tan Zong by the collar, his silent gaze mocking Tan Zong’s attempts to persuade him.
Look, look! This is the good woman who you said the Princely Heir fancies, full of affection and righteousness, kind-hearted.
Tan Zong’s expression darkened, and there were some things he dared not urge any further.
"Uncle Han, we’ll listen to you," Second Uncle Jing said, afraid that Prince Duan would actually kill their Princely Heir. He knew more than Tan Zong and Uncle Han how much the Princely Heir valued Prince Duan and the Commandery Princess. He feared that even if Prince Duan moved to strike, their Princely Heir might not dodge.
Prince Duan was momentarily stunned. The expression on Zheng Nianru’s face did not seem like she was lying. Zheng Boding faintly sensed that Zheng Nianru might know something he did not—something about Nanmen Yu.
However, in the past few days, he had investigated Nanmen Yu thoroughly and found no reason for him to necessarily die.
"Father, if you’re going to make a move, don’t hesitate," she urged while his men had not yet dared to openly snatch the person. Once they truly took the person away, there would be no recourse.
Prince Duan was startled and was about to ask when suddenly, a gust of wind arose. Doors and windows shattered with a crash, and several figures flew towards Zheng Boding and Zheng Nianru.
"Assassins—" guards outside burst in simultaneously, but it was too late.
Prince Duan had not even managed to reach for the sword hanging on the wall when he was dragged by Zheng Nianru toward a hiding spot inside a cabinet.
