The Deadly Hitwoman: The Heiress's Special Abilities-Chapter 297: No Turning Back

She was the one who wasn’t clear-headed, always thinking that Han Jing could never compare to her.

Reaching up to touch the imprint on her face, Han Yan was filled with hatred, yet she could only swallow it down.

Suddenly, she felt a bit of regret. If, if she had been as compliant as her other sisters, could she at least rely on the title of a concubine from the Princess Mansion and marry well as a legitimate wife? Originally, being from a noble family, naturally, she wouldn’t marry poorly, and she would still have riches and glory.

But because she wasn’t content, now she’s just a concubine in the Prince Ling Mansion, without even an official title. Is this really worth it?

But she could no longer turn back.

She no longer had the chance to start anew, and she even had to win Han Jing’s favor; otherwise, Han Jing would surely not let her off.

She thought Su Xingyan was suffering the consequences of his own actions, but wasn’t she suffering the same?

Han Yan lay on the table and cried fiercely. When she raised her head and wiped away her tears, she still had to live because she didn’t want to die.

Han Yan was thrown into the Prince Ling Mansion by Han Jing, so she didn’t bring any maids with her, not even a close confidante. She’s been in the Prince Ling Mansion for so long, but doesn’t have anyone she can rely on.

But she knows that the maids in the Prince Ling Mansion are not easy to deal with. Each one looks down on her for coming on her own as a concubine and is quite dissatisfied that in this vast mansion, Prince Ling has only favored her.

A cold smile crossed Han Yan’s lips as she opened the door and called Qian’er, who usually took care of her daily needs. Qian’er was beautiful with delicate features and was originally assigned as a bed maid for Su Xingyan by the nanny from Lady Rou’s mansion in the palace. But unfortunately, Su Xingyan always prided himself as a gentleman, so he never touched them. Thus, Qian’er was kept in the mansion to serve, but usually didn’t have any opportunity to get close to Su Xingyan. Until she came, Qian’er was assigned to her.

Qian’er naturally had some disdain for Han Yan because Han Yan didn’t really count as a master. When she first came, the Prince treated her rather favorably, but after a few days, he stopped seeking her out. For someone who fell out of favor so quickly, the mansion has plenty of people waiting to see Han Yan’s laughable state, and Qian’er was certainly no exception.

Seeing Han Yan called her to fetch water for washing, Qian’er noticed the handprint on her face and asked with a surprised look, "Madam, what’s happened to you? It looks like... you weren’t in the mansion when I came to find you today, did you go out? Oh dear, were you bullied, should I report to the Prince and let him vent your frustration?"

Listening to Qian’er’s sarcastic tone with the hint of derision, Han Yan felt hatred in her heart, but outwardly she put on a tearful demeanor: "Today someone suddenly came from the Princess Mansion, saying I had to go back. I didn’t understand, but followed them back. To my surprise, my sister slapped me, saying she and the Prince had already broken off their engagement and telling me to keep an eye on the Prince and not to bother her anymore. The Prince has always been thinking about my sister, and has often been drinking heavily because of it lately. I’m really upset. Qian’er, tell me, how should I convey this to the Prince? He’s such a sentimental person; if he hears this, he’ll definitely be very upset. Qian’er, why don’t you come with me to comfort the Prince?"
