Chapter 612 Take Yourself in Exchange
"Miss!"
Following Cong Rong's scream, the driver beside Jiang Suining quickly stepped forward, trying to rescue Lu Yan.
But after all, they were at a distance, and after a brief moment of shock, Li's mother reacted quickly, grabbed Lu Yan, and put the dagger against her neck again before the driver got close.
"No one is allowed to come over here, or I will kill her immediately!"
Li Zheng also hurried to his mother's side and looked at the driver warily.
The driver didn't dare to move forward and could only stop and look at Jiang Suining.
"Although the Li family has fallen, at least you are alive and well. If anything happens to Ayan, you will really have no way out." Jiang Suining reminded in a cold voice.
Mother Li smiled contemptuously, apparently not moved at all by such words.
"Jiang Suining, no, it should be the Prime Minister's wife, do you think such words can scare us? We have no way out, and it was your husband who made us have no way out!"
Mother Li looked at Lu Yan, who was held tightly in her hand, with a jealous look and gnashing teeth.
"Listen carefully. If it weren't for Shen Yanxi, my mother and I wouldn't have ended up in this situation, and we wouldn't have come to your Lu family. So in the final analysis, you are in this state because of Shen Yanxi. If you want to blame someone, blame them!"
The wound on Lu Yan's arm hurt a lot, but compared to the pain, she felt more ridicule and anger in her heart at this moment.
"It's simply ridiculous. You two are both cowardly and shameless. You deceived me to this point. Now you have the nerve to say such things. If I had known this would happen when you first came to the Lu family, I should have had your legs broken and thrown out of the imperial city!"
"Bitch, you've already fallen into our hands, yet you still dare to speak such nonsense? I think you're really tired of living!" Mother Li fiercely grabbed the dagger in Lu Yan's hand and moved closer to her neck.
"Stop it, don't hurt the lady!" Cong Rong shouted loudly in fear.
Although Li's mother's dagger stopped at Lu Yan's neck and did not continue to exert force, it still left another bloody mark.
Blood quickly oozed out of the fair neck, which was really heart-wrenching to look at.
Jiang Suining frowned and said in a deep voice: "If anything happens to A Yan, your son Li Mao will not survive!"
Jiang Suining's words successfully made Li's mother turn her gaze to her again, with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "What do you mean by this?"
"I know that Li Mao is in the hands of the Fourth Prince, and I also know that your current actions are directed by the Fourth Prince. If I am not mistaken, you are planning to kill A Yan and then use the blood-stained cloak in my carriage to frame me."
As Jiang Suining spoke, he carefully observed the reactions of Li's mother and Li Zheng. Seeing that they did not deny the matter, he continued speaking.
"But I hope you think clearly. The Fourth Prince has been thrown into the Heavenly Prison, and it was the Emperor's personal order. He has committed a serious mistake and has no chance of recovery, let alone protecting you. If you continue to obey his orders, in the end, not only will you not be able to save Li Mao, but you and your son will also be imprisoned."
"You're talking nonsense, this is impossible!" Mother Li said loudly, "The Fourth Prince is the Emperor's son. Even if he made a mistake, he will never completely fall."
"So you were really instructed by the Fourth Prince?" Lu Yan was surprised.
Mother Li did not answer Lu Yan, but continued to stare at Jiang Suining. However, the expression on her face was no longer as confident as before, and she began to show panic.
"The prison is not an ordinary place. There is really no turning back for the Fourth Prince. I met the Fourth Prince before coming here. He knew that he was powerless to change the situation, so he had to tell me everything. Otherwise, I would not know that Li Mao was captured by the Fourth Prince and that you were following his orders."
Jiang Suining looked calm and composed, which made Li's mother frown even more. Li Zheng couldn't help showing a look of panic.
"Mother, if something really happens to the Fourth Prince, what will happen to my eldest brother?"
Mother Li looked grim. She looked at Jiang Suining, then at Lu Yan, and finally clenched the dagger in her hand and gritted her teeth.
"Even if what you said is true, we have no room for regret. Don't think I don't know that if we let him go now, both mother and son will die!"
"No, if you are willing to let A Yan go, I can guarantee that you can leave."
"What a joke! Do you think I will believe your nonsense? Besides, what right do you have to make decisions for the Lu family?"
"I can make the decision for the Lu family." Ah Yan took a deep breath and tried to make her tone sound gentle. "As long as you let me go and leave the Lu family, I can promise that today's incident will never be pursued. I..."
"Shut up!" Mother Li interrupted Lu Yan impatiently, "I will never believe you."
"So what do you want?" Jiang Suining asked.
"Even if I die, I must take someone with me before I die!" Mother Li gritted her teeth, looking vicious.
"Then have you ever asked your son if he wants to die?" Jiang Suining turned his gaze to Li Zheng, "Li Zheng, I know roughly what happened between you and Yang Manman. In my opinion, you have never been a bad person. It's just that fate has played tricks on you and you have come to this situation step by step. Do you really want to embark on a road of no return like this?"
"I..." Li Zheng looked at his mother hesitantly.
Meeting Li Zheng's gaze, Li's mother's expression finally showed some movement.
"Madam Li, even if you are not afraid of death, Li Zheng is still young after all. Do you really want to abandon the two of you, or even Li Mao, and the lives of all three of you?"
Mother Li held the dagger tightly in her hand, not daring to relax even a little, but her expression was clearly becoming more and more hesitant.
Jiang Suining continued to speak while the iron was hot: "What I just said about letting you go was not a lie. As long as you can release A Yan, I promise to send you out of the city, and I will never send anyone to track you down."
Mother Li frowned and lowered her eyes in thought. After a moment, she suddenly looked up at Jiang Suining.
"Everyone can talk big, but if you really want us to release him, then show some sincerity!"
"What sincerity?"
"Exchange yourself for Lu Yan!"
Lu Yan was stunned and immediately said, "This is impossible!"
"You have no right to speak here!" Mother Li glared at Lu Yan fiercely, and then said to Jiang Suining, "If you really want to save Lu Yan, use yourself in exchange. You are Shen Yanxi's beloved wife. As long as you are in our hands, I believe Shen Yanxi will be able to send us away safely!"
While speaking, an imperceptible gleam of light flashed across Li's mother's eyes!
