Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It seemed like both Han Yuxiao and Han Yan not only wanted to ruin her reputation; they wanted her dead too!

If she had died, Princess Yi Feng would have no one to blame when investigating the matter as they would have told her that Han Jing drowned due to her recklessness. If she survived, her reputation would be ruined, and Prince Ling would have an excuse to break off the engagement. With a ruined reputation, Han Jing would never marry anyone royal again, even with the princess’ support. Even if she married someone interested in her status, she would not be treated well because of her flawed face!

They wanted to eradicate her!

Han Jing narrowed her eyes as a cold smile formed on her lips.

What a clever scheme! She wondered who was the brains behind all that! Lady Hanf from previous life would never figure this out; she was naive. However, she was now Han Jing from later life, a hitwoman with more than 20 years of experience! Her wisdom would go to waste if she allowed those people to step all over her!

Han Yuxiao, Han Yan, and Su Xingyan. Han Jing memorized their names!

Dong Bao was concerned as she had never seen such a daunting expression on Lady Han. Right when she was about to speak, a servant announced, “My Lady, the princess has returned!”

Han Jing was stunned, while Dong Bao tensed up. The princess was supposed to return at the end of September and it was not even mid-September. She figured the princess must have heard the news and rushed back!

It was her fault for failing to take care of her Lady. She deserved punishment!

Dong Bao walked out hurriedly, not having the chance to ease up. Noticing Dong Bao’s haste, Han Jing followed her.

The princess was already there by the time they reached the courtyard entrance.

Dong Bao immediately kneeled, lowering her head. “Your Highness, I deserve punishment!” she cried.

Staring at the charming and beautiful woman in front of her, Han Jing called out instinctively, “Mother!”

Han Jing never expected that there would be a day where she, an orphan—an assassin who was used to living in the dark—would have a family. She called her ‘mother’ so effortlessly.

Princess Yi Feng walked toward Han Jing, holding her hand while scanning her from top to toe with a frown. Although it was dim, Su Yaozheng could clearly see the mark on Han Jing’s cheek.

“What the hell happened? Who did this?” she yelled, her face darkening.

The servants silently kneeled all at once.

“Mother, I’m fine. Let’s talk inside.” Han Jing could sense her genuine concern and felt warm.

It had been many years since she felt this homely.

A hint of shock flashed in Su Yaozheng’s eyes, but her expression remained grim, “Fine! Explain to me what happened!”

They entered the residence and Dong Bao repeated everything that happened that day and the previous night to Su Yaozhen. She was still kneeling with her head lowered.

When Su Yaozheng heard that Su Xingyan slapped Han Jing, she grabbed a mug and smashed it on Dong Bao’s forehead. Dong Bao did not even blink when her blood dripped from her forehead!

Han Jing did not expect that Su Yaozheng would throw such a huge fit. She finally understood where Lady Han’s temper came from!

Han Jing clasped on Su Yaozheng’s arm hurriedly, “Mother, it wasn’t Dong Bao’s fault. I fell for their trick because I was reckless! I wouldn’t be alive now if Dong Bao didn’t rush over!”
