Chapter 213: Su Yaogeng’s Secret (Part 5)
Take Han Yan for example, this daughter was at least somewhat pampered by him, right? After all, he could see her every now and then, but what happened later?
She had a conflict with Han Jing, and he even went out of his way to plead for her, so what was the result? She was eager to become Su Xingyan’s concubine, he tried to bring her back, but when she didn’t return, what could he do?
Since they both had their own minds, why should he even bother?
Han Siqu left without any psychological burden, patting himself off.
Han Jing stared in astonishment at the back of Han Siqu as he walked away. She had to admit, she was only now realizing that this convenient father was actually quite interesting.
People are selfish, just with different purposes, that’s all.
After all is said and done, overthinking never yields much meaning.
So Han Jing never liked judging someone’s character based solely on one-sided matters. To her, it was actually simple: it was all about her mood. If she was in a good mood and found someone pleasant, then that person was right; if not, then whether they were right or wrong didn’t matter, they were wrong in her eyes.
When Han Jing entered Su Yaogeng’s courtyard, Han Si Que had already left, and Han Jing hadn’t noticed when he left. She entered the room and saw Su Yaogeng sitting there alone, with her head down, lost in thought.
Aunt Xi brought in some supper: "Princess and Miss, have something to eat!"
Han Jing looked at Su Yaogeng and said, "I just eavesdropped on what Mother was saying with Han Si Que."
Aunt Xi’s hand trembled, almost dropping the tray she was holding, barely steadying it, exclaiming, "Miss!"
Su Yaogeng also obviously faltered for a moment, then heaved a sigh, and glanced at Aunt Xi: "Alright, don’t scare her."
Aunt Xi’s expression was rigid, clearly still not recovered from the shock, and it took her a while to step back two steps and place the tray on a small table nearby.
Han Jing looked a bit worried at Su Yaogeng, whispering, "Mother, I’m sorry, I..."
Eavesdropping on Su Yaogeng was indeed wrong, especially since she had brought Han Siqu into it as well. It was just that at that time, she really couldn’t have imagined that the secret buried between Su Yaogeng and Han Sique was something like this, and she truly was very worried about her.
As for involving Han Siqu, it was actually because after hearing what he said, she suddenly felt somewhat intrigued. She wanted to know if his feelings for Su Yaogeng were genuine.
Of course, she had actually prepared herself, that if they indeed overheard something they shouldn’t have, and if Han Siqu might pose any harm to Su Yaogeng, then she would without hesitation take down Han Siqu first.
But it was Han Siqu’s action that suddenly made her believe in him, believe that he truly liked Su Yaogeng, that he wasn’t a hypocritical person.
It was when Han Siqu almost rushed in but then stopped.
Han Jing asked him why, and he said that if he went in, it would embarrass Su Yaogeng.
Only someone who truly cares about Su Yaogeng would at that moment still be concerned about Su Yaogeng’s feelings.
So Han Jing believed in him.
"Silly girl, Mother is fine, not telling you was just because it’s really hard to speak of." Su Yaogeng patted Han Jing’s hand, comforting her instead.
Han Jing’s eyes suddenly felt warm, no matter when, no matter what the situation, Su Yaogeng always considered her feelings first. How fortunate she was to be so dearly loved by her!
