Chapter 22: Please Continue, We’ll Take Our Leave
Han Jing listened to these words and felt as if a million grass mud horses were galloping across her heart.
Mutual care?
Of course, mutual care is needed. Han Yan had given her such a generous gift, how could she not take good care of her?
Just as Han Siqu finished speaking, Han Jing responded, "Father is right. Later, I will personally watch over Second Sister as she copies Buddhist scriptures, so you can rest assured."
Han Siqu’s face darkened. This girl usually wasn’t so sharp-tongued!
Could it be that Yan’er was injured today and caught a cold because of Jing’er, and so the Eldest Princess punished Yan’er to kneel and copy scriptures in the Buddhist Hall because Jing’er tattled? It must be so; otherwise, the Eldest Princess should still be at the West Mountain.
Only Han Jing could have the ability to bring the Eldest Princess back from the West Mountain.
If that’s the case, then Han Jing certainly wouldn’t plead for Yan’er today.

Su Yaogeng sneered lightly: "If there’s nothing else, you should leave. My Jing’er doesn’t need you to teach her."
Han Siqu’s face turned even darker, unable to hold back, he shouted at Su Yaogeng, "Su Yaogeng, don’t go too far! Don’t forget what you once said! Our affairs shouldn’t interfere with each other, just as my daughter doesn’t need you to punish her!"
Having said that, Han Siqu was stunned.
Over the years, this seemed to be the first time he had spoken to Su Yaogeng like this.
Han Jing also looked at Han Siqu with great surprise. She simply couldn’t believe that Han Siqu dared to speak to her mother like this.
Even Su Yaogeng was a little surprised, but she still smiled, "Han Siqu, I give you face, yet you forget who you are. Today, I insist on punishing her, and if you disagree, go ahead and report me! Report anywhere you want, I certainly won’t stop you! I’m tired, Jing’er, deal with the matters here, and don’t give face to anyone. Remember, in this house, no one else has the authority!"
After speaking, supported by Aunt Xi’s hand, she went into the inner chamber.
Su Yaogeng left, but before leaving, she had fiercely insulted Han Siqu in front of Han Jing. As a result, Han Siqu’s brows were furrowed so tightly they could crush a fly.
If Han Siqu left now, he truly would lose all dignity.
Therefore, Han Siqu directly shouted at Han Jing, "Your mother is unreasonable, and you also follow suit? Let’s end the matter of kneeling and copying scriptures in the Buddhist Hall today!"
Han Jing twitched her mouth; her mother couldn’t be won over, yet he came to flaunt power here.
Since Mother already said no need to give face, and he isn’t her real father anyway, why should she care!
Thus, Han Jing revealed a very warm smile and said, "Father, if you want to scold, go ahead; if thirsty, have the servants bring you some water. If there’s nothing else, I still need to watch over Second Sister copying scriptures, so I’ll take my leave, you continue."
Then she turned and walked out, calling a little maid to take her to the Buddhist Hall.
Leaving Han Siqu alone in the living room, frustrated, yet not a single person gave him a second glance. The maids in the Eldest Princess’s courtyard were all sly; once the masters left, naturally they went on with their own tasks, leaving not one behind.
No matter how furious Han Siqu was, he had nowhere to vent and could only flick his sleeves and leave!
