Chapter 311: Why Didn’t You Just Dodge?
Han Jing removed the mask and casually handed it to Su Yu, who took it naturally.
Although the two did not have much interaction on a daily basis, some things seemed to come naturally and with tacit understanding.
This scene was quite glaring in He Yanxin’s eyes.
However, when her gaze fell on Han Jing’s face, she was surprised: "Are you Han Jing?"
Although He Yanxin was not raised in the Capital City and rarely returned, she knew of Han Jing. Because nearly every time she returned to the Capital City, she would hear rumors about Han Jing, the only beloved daughter of the Eldest Princess, favored above all others, yet with an unsightly birthmark on her face.
Three years ago, during a palace banquet when she returned to the Capital City, she also saw Han Jing, but she didn’t take Han Jing seriously at all. What could a snot-nosed little girl do, no matter how arrogant?
So she never expected that such a little girl could embarrass her so much today.
What she never expected was that a random little girl she encountered while out playing would actually be the beloved daughter of the current Eldest Princess!
He Yanxin’s complexion was quite remarkable. Initially, she thought Han Jing was at most the daughter of some minor official in the Capital City, or perhaps a merchant’s daughter. Because although she dressed well, how could a noble lady of the Capital City be so uncultured? Even she, who grew up on the frontier, was forced to learn the Four Books and Five Classics. How could Han Jing, the noble daughter of an Eldest Princess, be unable to solve a simple word puzzle?
When it came to status, Han Jing was indeed not lower than hers. Even if she was adopted by the Eldest Princess, she was still the Emperor’s legitimate niece, allowed to use the Imperial Family’s surname. Furthermore, she was Su Yu’s niece. She had also heard some things about Su Yu and knew that Su Yu had a decent relationship with the Eldest Princess, so it was only natural for Su Yu to be kind to this niece. It was no wonder Su Yu was unhappy when she acted against Han Jing in front of him earlier.
Thinking this way, it turned out she had no reason to be angry, and He Yanxin felt somewhat deflated.
Han Jing looked at He Yanxin’s somewhat embarrassed face, and it was rare for her to still dare to defy them at this moment.
"You just said, it’s just an ordinary needle, it won’t kill anyone, is that right?" Han Jing spoke.
He Yanxin snorted: "Exactly!"
So what if she acted against Han Jing, she didn’t intend to really harm anyone, it was just an ordinary silver needle.
Han Jing nodded: "You’re right, but, for me, I dislike being ambushed the most. Just now, my uncle was standing by, if he wasn’t, I would have been injured by you. Then who would I turn to for justice?"
She knew when He Yanxin made her move, she simply reacted slower than Su Yu. Even if the needle had really struck, it wouldn’t have pierced her. But was she someone who suffered losses for no reason?
"Couldn’t you just dodge?" He Yanxin, used to being domineering, didn’t think she’d done anything wrong at all.
Moreover, she had no intention of harming anyone, it was just a joke, what could happen?
"Fine," Han Jing replied, suddenly flicking her fingers, and a very thin silver light shot into He Yanxin’s body, causing a sharp pain in He Yanxin’s shoulder. Her whole body fell backward, landing heavily on the ground!
