The Deadly Hitwoman: A Lady With Special Abilities

Chapter 24: A Naive Idiot

Han Jing nodded. “You’re right—my background can’t be changed. Why are you envious and jealous of me then?”

Han Yan’s expression became ferocious as she shrieked, “Me? Envious and jealous of you? Stop dreaming! That is impossible!”

Han Jing raised a brow in amusement. “Why are you so agitated then? You must think that you’re far more superior and prettier than me, so you got jealous that I get better treatment than you. You’ve been racking your brains for ways to destroy me. How do you like this now? You have to stay in the hall and do whatever I ask you to.”

“Ah!” Han Yan covered her ears and screamed. She was on the verge of losing her sanity.

‘How could she? How could she? Why is this happening?’

“Forgive us, my Lady. Please forgive Yan’er. She is still family!” Li Shi kneeled in front of Han Jing and begged softly.

Han Yan might be ignorant, but her mother knew better. Even if she or Han Siju came forward, Princess Yi Feng would never treat Han Yan how she treated Han Jing. Although she was almost acknowledged as the Qing’an official’s wife throughout these years, Han Siju was still Princess Yi Feng’s prince consort. It was a pre-requisite for him to be entitled to be a Qing’an official. Princess Yi Feng might strike him off his position if she was upset. If that happened, the dukes of protection’s office might not speak on behalf of him.

So far, their status and possessions were all provided by Princess Yi Feng. However, Han Yan failed to see that. She always competed with Han Jing, but how could she ever beat her? As long as she was Princess Yi Feng’s daughter, Han Jing was someone that no one could afford to offend.

Li Shi blamed herself for letting her guard down and forgetting Princess Yi Feng’s wits for the past few years. She heard a little about Han Yan and Han Yuxiao’s plan, but she did not expect Han Yan to cause any considerable trouble—she was a naive idiot! She only realized in horror that they were provoking someone they could not offend when Princess Yi Feng ordered them to go to the ancestral hall. Also, Han Jing’s presence proved that Han Siju went to Princess Yi Feng to talk on their behalf, but to no avail!

It was just the beginning.

Princess Yi Feng was merely giving them a reminder that she could take action against them without any reason!

They had no one to go to even if Han Jing murdered them both on the spot!

Li Shi only realized the seriousness of the issue when she thought of that. She secretly prayed that Han Jing was still the simple-minded Lady Han. That was the only way for them to escape this time.

“Mother, why are you begging her? She is not going to do anything to me! Are there no laws and principles anymore?” Han Yan asked, teary-eyed.

“Heh.” a laugh escaped Han Jing’s lips. She had seen many unintelligent people, but Han Yan was the worst.

‘Does she not know that it’s a dog-eat-dog world? The strong ones make the rules.’

“Han Yan, you are really something.” Han Jing was amused. She lowered her body and grabbed Han Yan’s chin with her icy fingers to force her to look into her eyes!
