Chapter 5: Han Jing’s Arrogant Dark Past
"Do you dare?"
Han Jing could be certain that this man, like a rabid dog, possessed an extremely high level of skill in ancient martial arts, possibly surpassing any ancient martial arts master she had ever encountered. Taking his life might not be so easy, but if she caught him off guard, he might not necessarily be her match!
If he truly dared to strike her dead, she would absolutely make sure his death would be a tortured one!
"You think I, Prince Ling, wouldn’t dare to kill you!" Prince Ling had never been so impulsive and irate. He stared viciously at the unspeakably hideous face in front of him, with a palm-sized birthmark on one half and vibrant red fingerprints on the other, already somewhat swollen at this point, with traces of dried blood at the corner of her mouth. However you looked at it, it was nauseating and repulsive!
"Prince Ling! If you dare lay a finger on our young lady today, our Eldest Princess will surely make sure this doesn’t end well for you!" Dongbao was anxious as well. What was wrong with this Prince Ling, was his brain broken?
Miss may not be pretty, but she is the County Master Chenyu, personally bestowed the title by the Emperor! How many people in the entire Han Jing would dare provoke our young miss! They’re truly not afraid of the Eldest Princess tearing him apart! So what if he is a prince! As long as the Emperor is alive, he’s just a prince!
Truly, it’s not even that this maid of the Princess Mansion dares to speak boldly, but if Prince Ling dares harm Miss today, he will definitely die a terrible death! The grudge from that slap hasn’t even been resolved yet!
Prince Ling’s face turned even darker, but he truly didn’t dare to exert any further force!
This damned woman was indeed correct; he really didn’t dare kill her. As long as he had a shred of sanity left, he couldn’t do anything to her today. Everyone in Han Jing knew that Han Jing was the apple of Princess Yi Huang’s eye, her priceless treasure, and that Han Jing’s unruly nature was completely spoiled by the Eldest Princess!
When Han Jing was five and followed the Eldest Princess to a palace banquet, she was called ugly by the eight-year-old young master of the Donglin Marquis’s family. After she beat him up, the Donglin Marquis’s wife dragged her son to complain to the Empress. Right there, in front of the Emperor, civil and military officials, and the court ladies, the Eldest Princess said that the Donglin Marquis’s wife should either die there or leave with her son, and if she dared say another word about Han Jing, she’d castrate her son! The Donglin Marquis’s wife was so frightened that she didn’t dare utter a single word, leaving the palace with her son in her arms!
Since then, Han Jing became someone no one dared to provoke in Han Jing! Anyone who dared provoke Han Jing would definitely face the wrath of the Eldest Princess, making life worse than death for them! So no matter how rampant, overbearing, and tyrannical Han Jing was in Han Jing, everyone could only hold back their anger without daring to voice it!
Although he was renowned and deeply loved and valued by his father, and had a deep brotherly bond with the Eldest Prince, his mother was merely a third-rank Noble Consort of humble origins. Han Jing liked him, so the Eldest Princess directly requested the Emperor for a decree to grant the marriage, and the Emperor had always indulged the Eldest Princess, thus he issued the decree without the slightest hesitation! If he really killed Han Jing today, with so many people witnessing it, not only he but even his mother would likely not escape death!
Prince Ling felt he had never been as aggrieved as he was at this moment! Just the thought of having to face this nauseating and repulsive face in the future, and confronting such a venomous-hearted woman, made him truly wish he could strangle Han Jing right now. But if Han Jing were to die, he could only imagine how many innocent lives would have to be buried with her!
"What’s going on here? Yan’er, what are you doing?"
