Chapter 7: Su Yu Stays to Watch the Drama!
Han Jing directly stepped on the fingers of Han Yan that were clutching the riverbank!
"Ah——" Han Yan screamed miserably!
The riverbank was entirely paved with bluestone slabs, and Han Yan was holding onto it, waiting for Prince Ling to pull her up. But Han Jing stomped down without any mercy! It really hurt...
After all, the fingers are connected to the heart...
"Han Jing!! You lunatic!" Prince Ling was instantly furious, his eyes turning red with anger. He completely disregarded any sense of reason or who might be watching and raised his hand to strike at Han Jing!
Han Jing didn’t intentionally provoke this mad dog; she simply found him irritating, especially since she hadn’t yet avenged that slap from earlier. So when he tried to save someone, she just wouldn’t let him! She might not be able to deal with him immediately, but she could certainly handle those two foolish women!
Moreover, this time she was prepared; she definitely wouldn’t let him hurt her again!
Unexpectedly, before she could act, Prince Ling stumbled backward two steps as he was charging toward her, almost falling over, struggling awkwardly to steady himself!
Su Yu did not get off the carriage, his clear voice sounded again: "Yan’er, you are in the wrong here. Jing’er is your fiancée; striking her in front of everyone earlier was already excessive, and now you threaten her life for the sake of a mere servant? Where have you learned your manners?"
Han Yan, whose eyes were teary from the pain, felt another stab of agony at hearing the clear word "servant" spoken by Su Yu!
Though her mother was the legitimate daughter of the Jingyang Marquis Mansion, even if she was her father’s concubine, she was still the legitimate daughter of the Marquis Qing’an. How could she be inferior to Han Jing, this stray picked up by the Eldest Princess!
The pain in her hand could hardly compare to the sting in her heart! Why was Han Jing, an ugly girl with an obscure background, more valuable than her, a noble lady from the Marquis Mansion!
Prince Ling clenched his fist and struggled to speak: "Imperial Uncle, regardless of how Han Second Miss is also a legitimate daughter of Marquis Qing’an, how can Miss Han, as her sister, treat her own sister so viciously!"
He spoke righteously, and those kneeling on the ground kept nodding in agreement, yes indeed, Han Family’s Second Miss is beautiful and gentle, how could Miss Han treat her sister like this? Just now when Miss Han wasn’t conscious, Second Miss was worried sick, planning to find someone to save her!
Truly from the same family, why was the difference so stark?
"Ha," Su Yu chuckled softly, "It seems, Yan’er, your manners really need some learning!"
Prince Ling’s face changed suddenly, pursing his lips tightly, and after a while, he spoke: "Thank you for your concerns, Imperial Uncle."
But he looked up coldly at Han Jing: "Will you step aside?"
Han Jing sneered: "You’re really a man who cherishes fragrant beauties, aren’t you? You’re so worried about her, do you perhaps have feelings for her? Given your mutual affection, should I step aside to let you have her?"
Even Prince Ling couldn’t help but be slightly startled by Han Jing’s remark; was Han Jing really willing to call off the engagement? No, that’s impossible! Back then, Han Jing threatened the Eldest Princess with a hunger strike just to be able to marry him. The Eldest Princess, always indulging her, had to enter the palace and request a decree.
Could it be... this woman is up to some trick again?
Prince Ling looked coldly at Han Jing, threateningly saying: "Han Jing, if you dare to do anything to hurt others again, don’t blame me for being truly unkind!"
