âBrother-in-law, what do you think of my sister⊠Qingxue?â At this moment, Mo Dazhuang was completely drunk.
Facing him, Ye Xuan remained composed, and upon hearing Mo Dazhuangâs question, he replied, âQingxue is great. She is beautiful, obedient, and takes her studies with me seriously.â
âReally? Ha ha⊠Let me tell you⊠Actually⊠you marrying my sister⊠I played a part in itâŠâ
Mo Dazhuang laughed smugly.
âOf course, big brotherâs contribution is undeniable. Without your agreement, how could Qingxue have so easily agreed to marry me?â Ye Xuan said.
âIâm not talking about that⊠ha ha ha⊠you⊠burpâŠâ Mo Dazhuang chuckled, âBrother-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 moneyâŠâ
âPfftâŠâ Ye Xuan couldnât help but laugh, âBig brother, youâve drunk too much. A beautiful fox spirit, interested in you?â
âBrother-in-law, Iâm 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.â
âAll 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 meâŠâ Saying this, Mo Dazhuang looked triumphantly at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan was frozen in place. âWhen did you get my hair?â he asked Mo Dazhuang.
âWhen 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⊠youâre lucky⊠you should thank me, give me more moneyâŠâ
Saying this, Mo Dazhuang, dizzy and disoriented, collapsed onto the table.
Ye Xuanâs expression turned dark. âSo thatâs how it was!â
âââ
âOh~!!!â Yu Lingâer, watching the scene outside, also realized the truth, saying, âSo thatâs how it was!â
She and Ye Xuan then turned their gaze towards Elder Qingxue.
âUhâŠâ 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 canât beâ!!!
If that were true, thenâŠ
Doesnât 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 panickedâ!!!
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 ariseâŠ
It was entirely possible.
âSo, it was my brotherâs plot that led Ye Xuan to do what he did.â
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 Xuanâs hair for a curse the day he helped QingxueâŠ
It was because of her brotherâs scheme that Ye Xuan developed an attraction towards her and had her abducted. He never intended to do any harmâŠ
It was her brotherâs greed for Ye Xuanâs wealth that led to their marriage. Ye Xuanâs true love was Jiang Lingâer, but due to her brotherâs plot, he missed his true loveâŠ
Jiang Lingâer left him and never returned. Although Ye Xuan sensed something was wrong, he didnât push her away or explain but willingly played the villain, taking responsibility for her.
He knew she might contemplate suicide. He never mentioned Jiang Lingâer 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 beâŠ
Ye Xuan suffered because of her, deceived by her brother, missing his destined love?!!
âHisssâ!!!â Realizing this, Elder Qingxue gasped in shock and looked at Ye Xuan in the scene. She could feel his rage at that moment. So thatâs how it was⊠Thatâs how it was.
Why didnât she consider the possibility of such a misunderstanding before? Did she really misunderstand Ye Xuanâs character from the beginning?!!
Facing Ye Xuan and Yu Lingâerâs gaze, Elder Qingxue panicked.
Why is this happening, oh heavensâŠ
She just slapped Ye Xuan twice. Looking at Ye Xuanâs still swollen face, Elder Qingxue felt as if her face was slapped twice as well.
âElder Qingxue, I told you earlier⊠there might be some misunderstanding, and you shouldnât jump to conclusions so soonâ!!!â Yu Lingâer now had the upper hand and angrily said to Elder Qingxue:
âBut you wouldnât listen, thinking you were the only one who understood peopleâs nature, that I couldnât see through it. You insisted on slapping Ye Xuan twice. Now what do you have to say?â
Hearing Yu Lingâerâs words, Elder Qingxueâs 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, âI⊠I⊠I didnât expect the truth to be like this. Those two slaps⊠I owe them to you⊠You can slap me back.â Saying this, she presented her beautiful face to Ye Xuan.
Her fair and stunning face, even more beautiful than Mo Qingxueâs 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, âI wonât slap you.â
Although from Elder Qingxueâs 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 wouldnât slap her, Elder Qingxue was somewhat surprised. Could it be that he couldnât bear to hit her?!!
Before she could feel touched, Ye Xuan continued, âFirstly, if I really am the same person as my past life, itâs you who owes me, not the other way around.â
âWhy do you think slapping me twice and me slapping you back evens things out? Besides, you are a immortal being, and Iâm just a mortal. Wouldnât hitting you just bring trouble upon myself?â
Elder Qingxue was speechless at Ye Xuanâs words and became even more embarrassed. At this moment, she had no ground to argue with Ye Xuan and Yu Lingâer.
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 faultâŠ
Thinking this, Elder Qingxue looked back into the mirror scene. She finally understood why Ye Xuanâs attitude towards her had changed drastically since that day. Ye Xuan was the real victimâ!!!
âYe Xuan, Iâm sorry, Iâve misunderstood you all along.â At this moment, Elder Qingxue felt a surge of guilt towards Ye Xuan. She realized that it wasnât 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 canât take away my child!
Looking at Ye Xuan in the scene, hatred flickered again in Elder Qingxueâs 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 wouldnât he spare even the unborn child?!
âââ
âThank you so much for today, husband. Seeing my mother and brother living so happily⊠Itâs wonderful.â 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.
âI just wish we could always be this happy.â She looked up at the sky, her face aglow with happiness, âThere must be gods and immortals in this world, or else why would I be with you?â
She turned her gaze back to Ye Xuan. But at that momentâŠ
She saw the coldness in Ye Xuanâs 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. âHusband, why⊠why are you looking at me like that?!!â
She asked Ye Xuan: âYour gaze⊠itâs frightening.â
