Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 57

Chapter 57

“Brother-in-law, what do you think of my sister… Qingxue?” At this moment, Mo Dazhuang was completely drunk.

Facing him, Ye Xuan remained composed, and upon hearing Mo Dazhuang’s question, he replied, “Qingxue is great. She is beautiful, obedient, and takes her studies with me seriously.”

“Really? Ha ha… Let me tell you… Actually… you marrying my sister… I played a part in it…”

Mo Dazhuang laughed smugly.

“Of course, big brother’s contribution is undeniable. Without your agreement, how could Qingxue have so easily agreed to marry me?” Ye Xuan said.

“I’m not talking about that… ha ha ha… you… burp…” Mo Dazhuang chuckled, “Brother-in-law, do you know… that day… when I borrowed money from your house, I met a beautiful fox spirit. She spent a spring night with me… but then she stole my money…”

“Pfft…” Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh, “Big brother, you’ve drunk too much. A beautiful fox spirit, interested in you?”

“Brother-in-law, I’m telling you, she really took a liking to me. Later, she came to find me again. She said my sister would have a good marriage fate, and no matter whom I planned to marry her off to, she could make it happen.”

“All I needed was… to get… his hair… I got your hair. Otherwise, do you think you could have… succeeded with my sister so quickly… You should thank me…” Saying this, Mo Dazhuang looked triumphantly at Ye Xuan.

Ye Xuan was frozen in place. “When did you get my hair?” he asked Mo Dazhuang.

“When else could I, a man like me, get a chance to meet someone like you… a young master? It was that day… the day you and my sister… burp… You marrying such a good wife like my sister… you’re lucky… you should thank me, give me more money…”

Saying this, Mo Dazhuang, dizzy and disoriented, collapsed onto the table.

Ye Xuan’s expression turned dark. “So that’s how it was!”

———

“Oh~!!!” Yu Ling’er, watching the scene outside, also realized the truth, saying, “So that’s how it was!”

She and Ye Xuan then turned their gaze towards Elder Qingxue.

“Uh…” At this moment, Elder Qingxue could no longer stay calm and she started panicking.

How could this be?! Ye Xuan, did he really have such thoughts about her and then do those things because of this?!!

This… this is impossible, it can’t be–!!!

If that were true, then…

Doesn’t it mean she misunderstood him from the beginning?!!!

Elder Qingxue always remained indifferent to what Ye Xuan did before because she thought it had little to do with the main line of her relationship with him. But now, looking back, she finally understood. Everything that happened before was not unrelated.

She panicked–!!!

As a immortal being, she was well aware that in this world, there are countless mystical methods. At that time, Ye Xuan was just a mortal, so if he was affected by some special spell, causing his lust to arise…

It was entirely possible.

“So, it was my brother’s plot that led Ye Xuan to do what he did.”

At that time, Qingxue mistakenly despised Ye Xuan, even though he had helped her out of trouble, and she never showed any gratitude. But Ye Xuan, despite her past contempt, not only lent her money but also arranged for a doctor for her mother, expecting nothing in return.

However, she had never genuinely thanked him. Moreover, her brother, who had falsely accused Ye Xuan once before, deliberately pulled Ye Xuan’s hair for a curse the day he helped Qingxue…

It was because of her brother’s scheme that Ye Xuan developed an attraction towards her and had her abducted.  He never intended to do any harm…

It was her brother’s greed for Ye Xuan’s wealth that led to their marriage. Ye Xuan’s true love was Jiang Ling’er, but due to her brother’s plot, he missed his true love…

Jiang Ling’er left him and never returned. Although Ye Xuan sensed something was wrong, he didn’t push her away or explain but willingly played the villain, taking responsibility for her.

He knew she might contemplate suicide. He never mentioned Jiang Ling’er in front of her and was exceptionally kind to her, believing he owed her.

At that time, she thought she was the victim of his actions. But the truth turned out to be…

Ye Xuan suffered because of her, deceived by her brother, missing his destined love?!!

“Hisss–!!!” Realizing this, Elder Qingxue gasped in shock and looked at Ye Xuan in the scene. She could feel his rage at that moment. So that’s how it was… That’s how it was.

Why didn’t she consider the possibility of such a misunderstanding before? Did she really misunderstand Ye Xuan’s character from the beginning?!!

Facing Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er’s gaze, Elder Qingxue panicked.

Why is this happening, oh heavens…

She just slapped Ye Xuan twice. Looking at Ye Xuan’s still swollen face, Elder Qingxue felt as if her face was slapped twice as well.

“Elder Qingxue, I told you earlier… there might be some misunderstanding, and you shouldn’t jump to conclusions so soon–!!!” Yu Ling’er now had the upper hand and angrily said to Elder Qingxue:

“But you wouldn’t listen, thinking you were the only one who understood people’s nature, that I couldn’t see through it. You insisted on slapping Ye Xuan twice. Now what do you have to say?”

Hearing Yu Ling’er’s words, Elder Qingxue’s face reddened even more. Embarrassed and unable to maintain her previous icy demeanor, she approached Ye Xuan, looked at the handprint on his face, and her ears turned red.

Awkwardly, she said, “I… I… I didn’t expect the truth to be like this. Those two slaps… I owe them to you… You can slap me back.” Saying this, she presented her beautiful face to Ye Xuan.

Her fair and stunning face, even more beautiful than Mo Qingxue’s in the scene, was due to her immortal status.

Even the plainest looking person becomes beautiful upon becoming a immortal being, let alone someone like Elder Qingxue who was already beautiful. Any ordinary person would hesitate to strike such a beautiful face.

But Ye Xuan, looking at Elder Qingxue, thought for a moment and then said, “I won’t slap you.”

Although from Elder Qingxue’s current perspective she misunderstood him, if all this were arranged by him, even controlling fate, then playing such petty tricks is meaningless. If he wanted to play, he would play big.

Upon hearing that Ye Xuan wouldn’t slap her, Elder Qingxue was somewhat surprised. Could it be that he couldn’t bear to hit her?!!

Before she could feel touched, Ye Xuan continued, “Firstly, if I really am the same person as my past life, it’s you who owes me, not the other way around.”

“Why do you think slapping me twice and me slapping you back evens things out? Besides, you are a immortal being, and I’m just a mortal. Wouldn’t hitting you just bring trouble upon myself?”

Elder Qingxue was speechless at Ye Xuan’s words and became even more embarrassed. At this moment, she had no ground to argue with Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er.

From the beginning Ye Xuan was the victim, then whatever wrongs Ye Xuan did to her later were just his way of retaliation. Arguing over these petty matters was pointless. It was her fault…

Thinking this, Elder Qingxue looked back into the mirror scene. She finally understood why Ye Xuan’s attitude towards her had changed drastically since that day. Ye Xuan was the real victim—!!!

“Ye Xuan, I’m sorry, I’ve misunderstood you all along.” At this moment, Elder Qingxue felt a surge of guilt towards Ye Xuan. She realized that it wasn’t Ye Xuan who owed her, but she who had been in debt to Ye Xuan from the start. This feeling of guilt was indescribable.

But even if I was at fault, the child in my womb is also yours. Why are you so cruel even to your own child?! You can torment me all you want, but you can’t take away my child!

Looking at Ye Xuan in the scene, hatred flickered again in Elder Qingxue’s eyes. Yes, she was sorry for Ye Xuan and had caused him to miss the love of his life, possibly leaving him in sorrow forever. But why wouldn’t he spare even the unborn child?!

———

“Thank you so much for today, husband. Seeing my mother and brother living so happily… It’s wonderful.” Returning from the Mo residence, Mo Qingxue was radiantly happy. Recalling the cozy moments chatting with her mother and sister-in-law, she felt like the happiest woman in the world.

“I just wish we could always be this happy.” She looked up at the sky, her face aglow with happiness, “There must be gods and immortals in this world, or else why would I be with you?”

She turned her gaze back to Ye Xuan. But at that moment…

She saw the coldness in Ye Xuan’s eyes, a look she had never seen before. Even when she was forced by Ye Xuan initially, she never felt him to be this terrifying. “Husband, why… why are you looking at me like that?!!”

She asked Ye Xuan: “Your gaze… it’s frightening.”
