Chapter 101: Bottled-Up Anger of Over Twenty Years
Mrs. Qin never complained about anything; she always worked hard to fulfill her duties and do what she should be doing. She never asked him for love, but considering all her hard work over the years, couldn’t he at least show her some respect?
A surge of anger suddenly welled up in Mrs. Qin’s heart, ready to ignite at any moment!
She stared intently at Han Si Que across from her, but Han Si Que merely glanced at her indifferently before lowering his head to continue drinking, as if she didn’t exist at all!
Of course, as the Duchess Wei, she couldn’t afford to make any inappropriate moves in such a situation. After all, the Emperor and Empress were seated at the head of the table. No matter how much the others whispered, she couldn’t lose face as the Duchess.
But this anger, held in her heart for over twenty years, she absolutely couldn’t swallow anymore!
Su Yaogeng was also aware of the glances between Han Si Que and Mrs. Qin, as well as the whispers among the people, but to her, it was all just a joke now!
She no longer cared about this joke, and as for those who did, she couldn’t be bothered with them!
Meanwhile, the hunting competition on the other side was in full swing.
For Han Jing, this was actually her first time participating in a hunting competition. Previously, out of self-doubt, Han Jing didn’t like appearing in public. Even when accompanying Su Yaogeng to spring or autumn hunts, she never participated.
So today, her participation attracted quite a bit of attention, though most people were dismissive of it.
Especially Han Yuxiao, who couldn’t stand Han Jing no matter how she looked at her, arrogantly snatched a few of Han Jing’s prey, and couldn’t resist giving Han Jing several sidelong glances! If it weren’t for her brother repeatedly telling her not to provoke Han Jing in the past two days, she would probably have gone up to fight Han Jing!
Han Jing didn’t care about Han Yuxiao’s childish behavior. They were just a few rabbits; she really wasn’t interested in competing for them!
In Han Jing’s eyes, Han Yuxiao was just an impulsive child, so competing over toys with a child seemed pointless to Han Jing!
At the outskirts of the hunting ground, most of the prey were wild rabbits and chickens. Han Jing didn’t want to waste her effort, so she rode her horse towards the depths of the hunting ground! Han Yuxiao, who had been following her, was deterred by Han Dong, but Su Xingyan seemed determined to challenge Han Jing!
Han Jing of course knew why—yesterday she told Su Xingyan that if he could beat her today, she would break off the engagement. It seemed that today Su Xingyan would definitely not let her off! Bored throughout the day, Han Jing was immediately stirred by Su Xingyan’s challenge, and the two chased each other, snatching each other’s prey, creating a somewhat evenly matched situation!
This novice in martial arts, Han Jing, certainly couldn’t compare with Su Xingyan in terms of stamina and the use of Inner Strength, but her keen eyesight and quick reflexes made each strike a hit, astonishing Su Xingyan greatly!
In Su Xingyan’s eyes, Han Jing was nothing more than an ugly, lazy, and incompetent fool. So when Han Jing proposed that condition yesterday, he thought she was out of her mind! But now it seemed that he must have overlooked something... How did he never know that Han Jing could be so agile?
