The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 270: She Was Always My Princess Consort

"Really?" This was something even Su Yaogeng hadn’t expected. She had spent too little time in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, and many things remained unclear to her. Most of what she learned later came sporadically from old acquaintances who wrote occasionally. She truly didn’t know that Su Yu was an Artifact Refiner.

Considering Su Yu’s status, combined with being an Artifact Refiner, it’s no wonder he attracts so much attention.

Su Yaogeng was a bit worried. She didn’t know if leaving Jing’er with Su Yu would benefit or harm her more?

Han Jing nodded: "Uncle Yun said it, so it must be true."

Han Jing still didn’t fully grasp what it meant to be an Artifact Refiner in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, but judging from Yun Feng’s excitement, it must be quite significant. Su Yaogeng had mentioned it to her as well.

"Indeed, it’s exquisite." Su Yaogeng shifted the topic, but her heart was still uneasy. Hopefully, her decision was the right one!

After all, no matter how powerful Su Yu was, it was her Jing’er who saved his life. So, just based on this, Su Yu shouldn’t do anything to wrong Jing’er.

Su Yaogeng picked something she liked and wasn’t shy with Han Jing. Su Yu’s willingness to give so much to Han Jing demonstrated his true intentions toward her.

She could feel slightly more at ease.

Su Xingyan indeed couldn’t attend the palace banquet; after all, his face was too disfigured from being beaten by Su Xingqiao.

Su Xingyan wasn’t in the right mind to attend any palace banquet because he really couldn’t understand why things turned out this way.

He looked at his disheveled self in the mirror, heartbroken, wondering where it all went wrong. If he had known earlier that he would fall in love with Han Jing, should he have treated her differently back then...

He waited at home for several days, but not only did Han Jing not come to find him, even the Princess Mansion’s people didn’t come to Prince Ling Mansion.

Even the New Year gifts he sent to the Princess Mansion this year were thrown back.

A prince who once basked in glory truly didn’t know when he became so down-and-out. Su Xingyan had never felt as disheartened as he did at this moment. Ignoring the doctor’s advice, he hid in his room and drank himself into a stupor.

Han Yan watched Su Xingyan, drunk and sprawled like a muddy mess, almost gritting her teeth to pieces.

She had grown up in the Princess Mansion, so she still had her informants there. Han Jing’s pregnancy secret could be kept temporarily but not for long. So when she learned of this news, she almost laughed out loud. She originally thought that if she told Su Xingyan about this, given his temperament, he would loathe and detest Han Jing even more. But she never expected that Su Xingyan, infuriated and anxious, would personally seek out Han Jing and even get beaten up.

What surprised her even more was that after returning to the mansion, Su Xingyan shut himself inside, refused visitors, and frequently lost his temper. Now, despite his injuries, he’s taken to drinking.

Han Yan thought he must be mad.

Didn’t he hate Han Jing immensely? Why did it seem like something had changed...

"Han Jing, Han Jing—" Su Xingyan lay on the table, still mumbling Han Jing’s name.

Han Yan leaned closer and asked, "Prince, why are you calling for Han Jing?"

"I, I want to marry her. She was meant to be my Princess Consort. If she doesn’t marry me, who else would she marry... Han Jing, Han Jing..."
