The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 21: Are You Two Really Sisters?

Han Jing’s father, Marquis Qing’an Han Siqu, the Prince Consort of the Eldest Princess, hails from the Han Family of Duke Wei Mansion, and is the legitimate second son of Duke Wei.

But in Han Jing’s vague memory, it seems she rarely sees her father, and her father also doesn’t often visit her mother’s courtyard. They are more like living under the same roof rather than being a true couple.

Han Jing finds this somewhat odd, but her memory isn’t particularly clear, and she’s also forgotten if she’s ever asked her mother why this is.

Another thing Han Jing doesn’t quite understand is, her mother, as the Eldest Princess, is the Eldest Princess whom no one dares to provoke in the entire Hanjing City. With her status marrying beneath her, Han Siqu surely would not dare to offend her. But as far as she knows, Han Siqu not only has several beautiful concubines but also many illegitimate children; none of his children are birthed by the Eldest Princess.

She, as the nominal only legitimate eldest daughter, is not his biological child.

No one seems to have ever hidden this from her; she is the child the Eldest Princess picked up outside.

Han Jing doesn’t mind whether she is biological or not, because even if she were biological, it would not necessarily bring her the kind of affection the Eldest Princess shows her.

She’s just curious about the relationship between her mother and father, why it’s so strange.

But at the moment, it is not something she should be asking about.

Han Jing followed Su Yaogeng into the inner room, and soon after, Han Siqu came in.

"Why does the Princess want to punish Yan’er to kneel in the ancestral hall and copy Buddhist scriptures? Her fingers are severely injured and infected with a cold, and currently, she can’t get out of bed," Han Siqu clearly came to plead for Han Yan, going straight to the point without any wasted words.

Su Yaogeng didn’t even glance at him, just asked calmly, "Which hand is injured?"

Han Siqu frowned and said, "Left hand."

Su Yaogeng sneered, "I haven’t heard that Han Yan writes with her left hand."

Han Siqu...

Han Siqu knew that reasoning with Su Yaogeng is useless, so after hesitating for a moment, he looked at Han Jing.

Han Jing is the child Su Yaogeng picked up, though she holds the position of his legitimate eldest daughter, she has nothing to do with him. Therefore, there has never been any interaction between them. However, Han Jing is ultimately a child, and she does have some admiration for her father. So, occasionally, some of Han Siqu’s words still linger in Han Jing’s mind.

For Su Yaogeng, other people’s ten thousand words cannot compare to a single word from Han Jing.

Naturally, Han Jing received Han Siqu’s hint.

But today, Han Jing clearly disappointed Han Siqu, because Han Jing just glanced at him, then did nothing.

Han Siqu felt helpless; if he can’t stop the Eldest Princess today, then if Yan’er goes to the Buddhist Hall, she will surely fall ill. He didn’t have time to inquire about what happened during the day; it was only when Mrs. Li came to cry out, saying Yan’er’s fingers were severely injured and she’d caught a cold, that she absolutely couldn’t kneel in the ancestral hall. When he went to see, indeed the injury was serious.

So he personally came to ask Su Yaogeng for mercy, usually, he has no desire to come to Hanguang Courtyard.

Helpless, Han Siqu could only speak to Han Jing: "Jing’er, Yan’er is your sister; as her big sister, you should care about your little sister, persuade the Princess not to let Yan’er fall seriously ill. You are sisters after all, you should look after each other."
