Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage - Chapter 630

Chapter 630: Chapter 630: Eliminate the Roots When Cutting Grass

Jiang Yi couldn’t help but chuckle, pinching her ear, “What, are you scared?”

“A cornered dog would jump over the wall, and a desperate rabbit would bite. Brother, you’ve heard of these sayings, right?” Jiang Ning pointed at Mu Jian lying on the bed, “We’ve tortured and deceived him. Once he regains consciousness and realizes this, he’ll definitely harbor deep hatred. To cut the grass, one must remove the roots. Since we’ve done this, we can’t let him go.”

“Seventh Sister, the Jiang Family isn’t afraid of him.”

“It’s easy to dodge open attacks but hard to guard against hidden ones. How can our Jiang family, with hundreds of people, defend against a highly skilled martial artist?” Jiang Ning counted on her fingers, “Let me give you the simplest example: if he secretly sets fire to the Jiang family under the cover of night, burning everything to ashes, what would we do?”

Jiang Yi laughed, “There have been enemies who wanted to burn the Jiang family for years, but has anyone succeeded?”

“People always weigh the gains and losses before acting. If the hatred isn’t enough to pay the price, they would hesitate. But, in Mu Jian’s case, could you endure it if you were in his position, Brother?”

Jiang Ning bent down, drew a shiny dagger from her boot, “Brother, don’t worry about it. I’ll finish him off right now.”

Jiang Yi didn’t stop her, but with his hands in his sleeves, he asked with a grin, “Third Sister, killing him would be easy, but how are we going to explain this to the Emperor?”

Jiang Ning stopped in her tracks.

Yes, the Emperor was still waiting to exchange Mu Jian for his illegitimate child.

Don’t be fooled by the Emperor’s gentle and kind appearance.

If you think he’s a benevolent Emperor, you’re greatly mistaken.

After all, the Emperor is the Emperor.

A single word from him can decide life and death.

With a single thought, he casually changed the lives of Jiang Ning and Li Hongyuan.

Jiang Ning sighed, putting down the knife, “So, we’ll let him go? He’ll definitely take revenge on us in the future.”

“Seventh Miss, don’t worry.”

Sister Fu spoke respectfully, “I’ve severed his hand and leg tendons. Even if a genius doctor could revive him, he’ll never be able to take revenge.”

Jiang Ning was somewhat surprised.

She glanced at Mu Jian.

“Do you feel sorry for him, Seventh Sister?” Jiang Yi asked.

“Feel sorry for him? When he used Denghua to poison Concubine Jin, he didn’t show any mercy. Being kind to an enemy is being cruel to oneself.” Jiang Ning stopped looking at Mu Jian and turned to walk out, “Third Brother, let’s go. We shouldn’t delay Fifth Sister’s auspicious moment.”

Jiang Yi quickly followed her out.

Gucheng trailed behind them, neither too close nor too far.

His footsteps on the snow left almost no traces.

It was quite eerie.

Jiang Yuan’s bridal chamber was lively and festive.

When Jiang Ning entered, she was already dressed, holding her bridal veil, her face flushed. She was dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, shimmering with brilliant pearls and gems.

Seeing Jiang Ning enter, several noble ladies in the room quickly stood up to pay their respects.

Aunt Ms. Ge led a few noble ladies out, leaving Jiang Ning and her sisters to chat amongst themselves.

“Seventh Sister, thank you for the gift.” Jiang Yuan pulled her to sit down and whispered, “I know my temper isn’t good, and I’ve often said harsh words to you. You… don’t take it to heart.”

Jiang Ning smiled, “Which siblings don’t bicker? I know you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, and you care about your family.”

Jiang Yan laughed, “That’s right. Father always teaches us to support each other and wish each other well. When siblings do well, it’s also good for oneself.”

Always competitive, Ms. Liu wiped away her tears, “Seventh Miss, your generous gift has really touched me. I don’t even know what to say.”
