Chapter 15: What Happened Last Night (3)
It turned out that both Han Yuxiao and Han Yan intended not only to ruin her purity but also to take her life!
If she were to die at that time, when the Eldest Princess returned to investigate, it would be considered her own fault for falling into the river and drowning. No one else could be blamed! Even if she was lucky enough not to die, her purity would be ruined, giving Prince Ling the opportunity to break off the engagement with her! And Han Jing’s reputation would be completely tarnished. Even in the future, with the Eldest Princess backing her, she couldn’t hope for a good match! What’s more, with Han Jing’s face, even if someone were forced into marrying her due to power, they would never treat her well!
They intended to completely destroy her!
Han Jing narrowed her eyes, a trace of cold smile tugging at her lips.
Good, such a cunning plan! She just didn’t know who came up with this idea! The former Han Jing was simple-minded and couldn’t think that far, but now, it was the Han Jing who had lived as an assassin for over twenty years that was alive. If she allowed those who bullied her to live well, it would be a waste of life!
Han Yuxiao, Han Yan, Su Xingyan, good, very good, Han Jing remembered them!
Dongbao had never seen her miss with such a terrifying expression. Just as he was worriedly about to speak, he heard the maid’s report from outside: "Miss, the Eldest Princess has returned!"
Han Jing was taken aback, but Dongbao immediately tensed up. The Eldest Princess was originally supposed to return at the end of September, now there were more than ten days left till the end of the month, perhaps the Eldest Princess had heard some rumors, hence she hurried back!
This time it was her fault for not taking good care of the miss, no matter how punished, it would be deserved!
Without any hesitation, Dongbao immediately walked out.
Seeing her hasty departure, Han Jing also stood up and followed.
As they reached the courtyard gate, the Eldest Princess arrived with people.
Dongbao immediately knelt down and bowed her head, "Please Eldest Princess, punish me."
Seeing that stunning and beautiful woman, almost instinctively she blurted out, "Mother!"
Han Jing didn’t expect that a family-less orphan, an assassin walking in darkness, would one day have family again. And uttering that "Mother" felt so natural coming from her mouth.
The Eldest Princess stepped forward and grabbed Han Jing’s hand, frowning as she scrutinized her up and down. Even in the dim evening light, Su Yaozhen still clearly saw the fingerprint marks on Han Jing’s face, immediately her face turned cold, "What’s going on here! Who hit her?!"
The maids and female servants instantly knelt down all over the place, not daring to breathe a word.
"Mother, I’m fine. Let’s go inside and talk." Han Jing could clearly feel her care, warming her heart.
She couldn’t remember the last time she felt such warmth.
A trace of surprise flashed in Su Yaozhen’s eyes, but her expression remained unpleasant, she said coldly, "Everyone, come inside! Explain to me clearly what exactly happened!"
Once inside, Dongbao knelt with her head down, recounting the events of the night before and today to Su Yaozhen.
When Su Yaozhen heard that Su Xingyan had slapped Han Jing, she immediately grabbed the cup beside her and smashed it onto Dongbao’s forehead. Blood flowed down Dongbao’s forehead, yet she didn’t dare even flinch!
Han Jing didn’t expect Su Yaozhen to get so angry, now she finally understood why she had such a temper before!
Han Jing hurriedly hugged Su Yaozhen’s arm, "Mother, it’s not Dongbao’s fault, I was the one who was confused and fell into their trap! If it weren’t for Dongbao’s timely rescue, I wouldn’t be alive now!"
