Chapter 298 When Will You Wait?
Realizing this clearly, Pang Yutang gritted his teeth and tightened his grip on the knife.

Regardless of who the other party is, they are ultimately on Zhu Cheng's side.

"Look carefully, see who I have in my hands!" He gritted his teeth and pressed the knife against Zhu Ning's neck.

Zhu Ning let out a loud cry, but it was quickly swallowed back down her throat, sounding like a wounded puppy.

“I can see it very clearly. She is the only legitimate daughter of the Shuo Wang family, your own niece.” Zhu Yu nodded, his tone calm, as if Pang Yutang was not holding a knife to Zhu Ning’s neck, but rather affectionately holding her hand.

"Hmph! Good that you know! I warn you, none of you are allowed to make a move. Get out of here now!" Pang Yutang felt that the other party's tone sounded mocking and contemptuous, but at this moment he could only pretend not to notice and continue to shout according to his plan, "Anyone who dares to stop me, I will make her bleed on the spot! Even a great immortal couldn't save her!"

“It’s alright,” Zhu Yu said calmly, waving his hand without moving. “None of us are afraid of blood. If Master Pang wants to make a move, feel free to use your knife. Don’t worry about us.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ning was so frightened that she almost fainted. Pang Yuzhen was even more nervous and hurriedly looked at Pang Yutang, fearing that he might actually take this advice and stab Zhu Ning.

"Don't try to bluff!" Pang Yutang was getting anxious because he hadn't expected the other party to be so unmoved. "If I really kill her, none of you will be able to hold a grudge!"

"That's not necessarily true." Zhu Yu chuckled dismissively, glancing at Zhu Ning and letting out a soft snort. "A fool who could be used by her maternal family without even realizing it, helping them poison her father day after day with a slow-acting poison, is not that important to the Shuo Prince's Mansion."

Speaking of which, she helped her uncle so much, from helping to poison him to tipping him off, she was really quite generous.

These fathers know it all too well; it's no secret.

I never expected the Pang family to be so fond of discarding their usefulness after they've served their purpose.

"But it's all for the best. Serving her uncle and ultimately dying at his hands, the eldest daughter of the Zhu family died a fitting end."

When Zhu Ning heard about the slow-acting poison, she was almost dumbfounded. When she heard the other party say that she had tipped them off, she became even more guilty. She didn't even dare to cry out for help. She stood there trembling, biting her lip and not daring to utter a sound.

Upon hearing that the slow-acting poison would harm Zhu Cheng, Pang Yuzhen was so frightened that she almost collapsed to the ground, shaking her body violently.

Pang Yutang looked down and saw her. A surge of anger rose within him, and he kicked Pang Yuzhen, sending her sprawling to the ground.

"Idiot! How could there be such an idiot as you in this world! You're a pig-headed idiot yourself, and the children you give birth to are all idiots!" he roared angrily. "How could I be so blind as to have to deal with a bunch of idiots like you and your children!"

It was clear that Pang Yutang was really furious.

His original plan was quite clear: Zhu Jie was no longer a reliable option, and Zhu Feng was clearly not in the mansion at the moment. Among these people, the one who could be used to blackmail Zhu Cheng was probably not the young son who had not yet grown up, but Zhu Ning, who was usually the most favored.

After all, as long as Zhu Feng is alive, the Zhu family will have a successor, and they don't rely on that young child. Zhu Ning is the most valuable and the easiest for him to obtain.

I never imagined that my niece would be so stupid, completely unaware that her past actions had been exposed.

If Zhu Chengzhen already knew that his daughter had helped the Pang family poison him, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it had still damaged their relationship and caused them to lose trust.

Moreover, there's the added layer of informing the Pang family.

However, he couldn't help but wonder if it was true or just a lie told by the masked man in front of him to fool him.

He hesitated for a moment, then heard a commotion in the distance ahead, and Pang Yutang subconsciously looked outside.

Seeing this opportunity, Zhu Yu quickly made a gesture, and the guards of the Prince's Mansion who had been waiting behind her rushed forward, trying to seize Pang Yutang and rescue Zhu Ning from his grasp.

Pang Yutang reacted quickly. The moment the guards moved, he immediately realized that the pursuers had entered from the front and his original plan was doomed to fail. So he changed his mind, grabbed Pang Yuzhen who was slumped to the side, and forcefully pushed the mother and daughter toward the oncoming guards.

Pang Yuzhen and Zhu Ning were caught off guard and used as "human punching bags." They were thrown out while screaming. The guards who were coming towards them were also startled. Not daring to hurt the princess and the young lady, they quickly dodged their knives and reached out to protect the mother and daughter.

Taking advantage of this moment, Pang Yutang thrust his dagger straight at Zhu Yu, who was exposed at the front: "I don't care who you are, you've ruined my plans, you must die today!"

Before Zhu Yu could dodge, the dagger was already pressed against her chest. A violent force came towards her, and she only felt a dull pain. Pang Yutang's dagger suddenly broke into three pieces. Because the dagger broke suddenly, he couldn't stop his force and crashed straight into Zhu Yu.

As Pang Yutang lost his balance and got closer and closer to her, almost falling headfirst, her heart skipped a beat, and a move that she had seen Lu Qing demonstrate before flashed into her mind.

Now is the perfect time to use this move!

She quickly grabbed the sleeve of Pang Yutang's hand, which was still gripping the dagger hilt, and pulled him forward. With the same momentum, she pressed down on the back of his shoulder with her other hand, causing Pang Yutang to lose his balance and fall headfirst.

Zhu Yu suddenly raised her knee and slammed it into Pang Yutang's forehead, hitting him squarely on the bridge of his nose. The force was so great that her knee felt a numb, painful sensation.

Before Pang Yutang could even utter a sound, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, unconscious and covered in blood.

When the guards around them came to their senses, they only saw Zhu Yu standing there with a tear in his clothes, two broken swords lying on the ground, and Pang Yutang lying unconscious on the ground with blood all over his face, his nose crooked, and the hilt of the sword he hadn't had time to throw away still in his hand.

With a series of hurried footsteps, Zhu Cheng, looking travel-worn, rushed in with a group of men. Upon seeing Pang Yutang on the ground, he was slightly taken aback and quickly ordered his men to drag the man away and imprison him.

When he came to his senses and checked on Zhu Yu, he found that Zhu Yu had already been pulled aside by Lu Qing.
