The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 34: Why Did Su Yu Meddle in Others’ Affairs? (2)

The Crown Prince pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Hopefully he doesn’t have any ulterior motives!"

He did not say anything further.

Su Xingyan nodded and, with a cupped fist salute, said, "Then this minister’s younger brother will take his leave."

After Su Yaogeng entered the palace, Han Jing summoned Xu Chong over, and coincidentally, the two maids were also brought in.

Last night, Han Jing had only met Xu Chong briefly and didn’t have a deep impression. Seeing him now, the impression remained the same. Xu Chong appeared just like an ordinary middle-aged man, standing in front of Han Jing with a slightly bowed head, indistinguishable from a regular guard, completely lacking any presence.

The two maids, on the other hand, were quite pretty and delicate-looking, yet they appeared deferential, clearly well-trained at a glance.

Moreover, these two maids looked identical, a pair of twin sisters.

However, Han Jing was able to distinguish their differences at a glance.

One had lively eyes, the other, composed.

"This servant, Mu Jin, this servant, Bo He, greets Miss." The two maids stepped forward to pay their respects to Han Jing.

"Who is the elder sister, and who is the younger?" Han Jing asked. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Mu Jin stepped forward and replied, "This servant is the elder sister, Bo He is the younger."

Han Jing nodded, "From now on, both of you will stay by my side and assist me. Uncle Xu, you no longer need to stay hidden and will temporarily serve as the steward of my courtyard. When a suitable candidate appears, they will replace you, Uncle Xu. I still have many matters for you to assist with."

Han Jing trusted Xu Chong, believing that with his help in the future, her plans would become significantly easier.

"This subordinate is truly unworthy of such a title from the master," he said. In essence, he was nothing more than a criminal slave. If not for the rescue by the Eldest Princess years ago, he and his mentor would surely have met their demise. Now gifted by the Eldest Princess to serve the master, how could he deserve the title of ’Uncle Xu’?

Han Jing merely chuckled, "Uncle Xu, let’s dispense with the formalities. I’ll rely on you many times in the future. In front of others, you don’t have to call me master, just treat me as the young lady of the mansion."

Though Han Jing’s words were casual, an implicit indubitable tone lingered. Xu Chong paused momentarily, nodded, and said, "As you command."

"Surely, Uncle Xu is aware of yesterday’s incident. I would like him to help me find out who Han Yuxiao brought into the Mudan Pavilion the night before last and bring that person before me," Han Jing instructed.

As someone who had spent nearly twenty years as an assassin and years in the entertainment industry, she wasn’t genuinely concerned about who she spent the night with on that occasion. However, whoever it was, that person had to perish. She couldn’t afford to leave a handle for others to blackmail her with.

After receiving the order, Xu Chong immediately departed.

At the same time, Su Yu, who had already exited the palace, instructed Lan Ji, "Bring over the person Han Yuxiao took into the Mudan Pavilion two nights ago, and find out exactly what happened in the Mudan Pavilion that night. Also, have Yun Feng meet me at the Liuxian Pavilion."

He then directed the carriage straight to Baihua Garden, driving all the way into the Liuxian Pavilion.

By the time he arrived, Yun Feng was already there.

Yun Feng didn’t like staying at his Prince Mansion, preferring the Yao Xiang Pavilion in Baihua Garden. Generally, he lived in Baihua Garden. But a few days prior, he had gone out to collect herbs and had returned only yesterday afternoon, so he wasn’t in Baihua Garden when he experienced a bout of poison the night before.

Seeing Su Yu arrive, Yun Feng grinned and said, "You look in good spirits today. I heard you had a poisoning episode the night before. You don’t look the part!"
