Chapter 548: Little Jing zi Is Too Dominant!
It’s said that a ruler’s words are not to be made lightly, and judging by Qin Shutong’s demeanor, he doesn’t seem like a liar. However, Han Jing can basically deduce that there’s an eighty percent chance Han Litong is her biological mother. Since Qin Shutong thinks she resembles Han Litong, doesn’t that mean her own mother killed her father, so is he really not here for revenge?
"Pfft—" Lan Ling couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said to Han Jing, "I have to say, Little Jing zi, your worries are quite reasonable. Do you finally believe that you are undeniably connected to Han Litong now?"
Han Jing rolled her eyes at him coolly.
Lan Ling waved his hand and said, "But don’t worry, Qin Shutong won’t seek revenge on you. I already took the liberty of inquiring about what happened back then. I heard that during the years Consort Li was in Dong Qin Country, Yanjing City was in complete chaos. It wasn’t until Consort Li poisoned the late Emperor and left that Yanjing City gradually stabilized. Think about it, if Consort Li hadn’t poisoned the late Emperor, would Qin Shutong, just a little kid at the time, have had the chance to become Emperor? He probably didn’t even have time to thank Han Litong, let alone call her a father’s murderer! So, I think he may genuinely want to help!"
Han Jing...
Anyway, as long as he doesn’t harbor ill intentions, it’s fine.
After all, even if he does have ill intentions, Han Jing isn’t afraid of him. Although the Spirit Cultivation Realm’s rules prohibit harming the Emperor, at least Qin Shutong couldn’t hurt her anyway.
Moreover, Qin Shutong only suspects it; he can’t confirm any actual connection between her and Han Litong.
"Hehe, Little Jing zi, I’m really curious about what exactly happened back then. I really don’t understand why you were abandoned so easily. I heard that when Consort Li left Yanjing City, she was about to give birth. She couldn’t have given birth to you, thought you were too ugly, and just tossed you aside along the way, right?" Lan Ling gossiped, while worrying that Han Jing might hit him, quickly pulling An Chuxue as a shield: "An’an, don’t you think so?"
An Chuxue’s face was full of black lines, but her voice was a bit guilty: "Would a mother be that heartless?"
But in reality, she had really seen many such heartless mothers. After all, she practically grew up in a hospital. Her mother was the head of the obstetrics and gynecology department, and she had heard countless stories about abandoned babies since she was a child. Some couldn’t afford to raise them, some were born out of wedlock and didn’t want to raise them, some were abandoned for being girls, and most often, those born with disabilities were just left in the hospital, completely irresponsible. She had seen so much of it that it wasn’t new to her anymore.
So it’s genuinely possible that when Han Litong gave birth to Han Jing, she saw the birthmark on her face, thought it was too ugly, and, fleeing at the time, easily discarded her... It’s entirely possible.
Han Jing looked at the two with their gossiping expressions and snorted lightly, "So I’m not curious at all about what happened! Would I investigate just to prove I was abandoned? Boring!"
Lan Ling and An Chuxue exchanged a glance, then turned their heads to look at Han Jing, and simultaneously asked, "What about your biological father? Aren’t you curious?"
If it were someone else, they would certainly feel a bit melancholic discussing such a sensitive topic about their origins. However, An Chuxue and Lan Ling outright asked such a sensitive question because they knew that even if they shocked the heavens with this question, Han Jing probably wouldn’t feel anything. In the end, it might be their own fragile hearts that ended up feeling sad.
In conclusion, Little Jing zi is just too formidable!
