The scene in the mirror lasted for a whole hour...
Watching everything unfold in the mirror, Elder Qingxue’s face twitched uncontrollably. She hadn’t realized it back then, but now she was astonished at how long it actually took.
That rascal Ye Xuan had no sense of cherishing and respecting women. She wasn’t wrong about him; he is indeed a degenerate— a disgrace deserving of death—!!!
Thinking this, her gaze shifted towards Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er. Yu Ling’er was already blushing furiously, overwhelmed with embarrassment, while Ye Xuan pretended to be serious, his eyes shining brightly.
Elder Qingxue’s own face also turned slightly red. Although her desire to kill him hadn’t diminished, the love she had for him had not disappeared either. However, now all this love had completely transformed into deep hatred.
The three of them continued to watch the scene unfold in the mirror.
The night deepened in Ye Xuan’s room, where the candlelight had not yet completely extinguished. A red spiritual light descended from the sky into Ye Xuan’s room. It was the figure of a woman in a red dress, radiant like a delicate red cloud.
Seeing the man and woman lying there, she showed a look of shock: “Brother Ye Xuan... how could this be? You promised me, after marrying me, you wouldn’t look at another woman. But why—!!!”
Behind her, a shadow slowly emerged, also looking at the man and woman. She let out a sigh, her voice feminine: “Ling’er, I’ve told you before, men in this world are unreliable. No oath or vow compares to a moment of pleasure. Come back with me, your master.”
“Master, wu wu—!!!” The girl in the red dress cried sorrowfully, turned around, and, together with the shadow, transformed into a streak of light, disappearing from the room.
“I will never meet him again in this lifetime—!!!” The girl left in sorrow, but Ye Xuan was still fast asleep, completely unaware.
Seeing the sad expression of Jiang Ling’er in the mirror, Yu Ling’er suddenly felt panicked.
Why? Why did it happen like this? Why did Jiang Ling’er appear at that moment? Why did she leave without giving Ye Xuan a chance to explain?!!
Since watching the story unfold, Yu Ling’er had started to see Jiang Ling’er as her past self. In her mind, her past life with Ye Xuan, being so sweet, was supposed to have a happy ending. But why did it end so abruptly?!!
She instinctively felt there must be some misunderstanding. Although she didn’t know why, the story between Jiang Ling’er and Ye Xuan shouldn’t have ended so soon.
“Could it be that in my past life, I also left Ye Xuan due to a misunderstanding... Oh my God...” Thinking this, Yu Ling’er suddenly felt an immense sense of guilt towards Ye Xuan.
Why am I so foolish in this life, and was I also this foolish in my past life?!! Why didn’t I listen to his explanation–!!!
“If that Jiang Ling’er really is your past life, then it’s Ye Xuan who wronged your past self, why are you crying?” Seeing Yu Ling’er like this, Elder Qingxue spoke without emotion.
“I don’t believe it–!!!” Yu Ling’er said, “I refuse to believe that Brother Ye would really do such things. He is innocent–!!!” As she spoke, tears flowed from Yu Ling’er’s eyes.
“Hisss–!!!” Hearing Yu Ling’er’s words, Elder Qingxue was stunned, taking a sharp breath. She couldn’t believe that Yu Ling’er’s love for Ye Xuan had reached such a distorted extent.
Even though the truth was right in front of her eyes, she still believed in Ye Xuan? Ah, this... This is just too foolish–!!!
“If Ye Xuan is innocent, then there are no innocent people in this world.” Elder Qingxue snorted coldly.
The weather was clear, another day of beautiful scenery...
“Speaking of which, Young Master Ye must have been very happy last night.” Inside Ye Mansion, one guard whispered to another.
“Haha, of course, that Miss Mo Qingxue is indeed a beauty.”
“Even Miss Jiang can’t compare to her.”
“But I find it strange, Young Master Ye always talks about benevolence and righteousness, telling us not to bully others. Why did he suddenly have us kidnap Jiang Ling’er last night?”
“Hey, he must have been unable to hold back after spending the day with Miss Jiang.”
“Haha, if I had Young Master Ye’s power, I’d also try to entrap beautiful girls every day.”
“Forget it, you should just make sure your wife and daughter aren’t harmed.”
“What?!! Say that again–!!!”
“...”
Outside the room, the two guards ended up arguing. Meanwhile, inside the room, Ye Xuan slowly opened his eyes.
He pretended to have a headache and then, as if sensing something, suddenly looked beside him.
He saw a girl lying quietly next to him, her cheeks stained with tears.
“Ah–!!!” Ye Xuan feigned a startled expression, “What’s this situation... Hisss...” He covered his head, appearing to be deep in thought.
“I... I did such a beastly thing last night? What happened–!!!” He muttered to himself.
“Look–!!!” This scene in front of her suddenly excited Yu Ling’er. She quickly changed from her previous panic and said, “I knew there was a problem...”
“There must be a misunderstanding here—!!! I... My past self, really misunderstood Brother Ye again—!!! Brother Ye obviously looks off—!!!”
Elder Qingxue also looked somewhat perplexedly at Ye Xuan in the mirror. Indeed, something seemed off. Ye Xuan’s expression clearly showed surprise at his own actions. But what had he done to be so surprised? He must be pretending.
She said to Yu Ling’er, “Can’t you see? He’s definitely pretending—!!!”
“Who would he be pretending for?!!” Yu Ling’er was speechless.
“Do you even need to ask?” Elder Qingxue said, “He’s obviously pretending for me... Otherwise, do you really think I would fall for a man who forced himself on me? All this is nothing but a script he’s directing. Just keep watching, and you’ll understand.”
“Uh...” Yu Ling’er didn’t believe Elder Qingxue’s words, but she didn’t argue with her at the moment.
She believed that there would be a twist in the story later.
“Hmm...” In the scene, Mo Qingxue let out a soft moan and then slowly opened her eyes. Her gaze, still marked with tear stains, shifted towards Ye Xuan, filled with hatred.
If she could, she truly wished to kill Ye Xuan. But now, she couldn’t do it. Even if she could fight Ye Xuan to the death, her family would also be implicated. In the face of Ye Xuan, all she could do was endure—nothing else!!!
Facing Mo Qingxue’s hateful gaze, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. He had felt carefree before, but now, faced with her gaze, he naturally felt uncomfortable. However, Ye Xuan had to do this.
If he didn’t, he would disappear and become someone else, and Mo Qingxue’s fate was already written in the script. Even if Ye Xuan vanished, someone else would do the same thing.
Since someone had to do it, why not let him do it? Maybe Mo Qingxue would hate him to the bones now, but one day in the future, she would naturally forgive him.
Mo Qingxue was glaring at Ye Xuan, but when she saw a strange sense of guilt in Ye Xuan’s eyes, she became somewhat puzzled. Why was he feeling guilty? She had not seen him like this before—!!!
“Don’t worry, I will take responsibility for you.” Ye Xuan said, “I will marry you as my wife.”
“—!!!!” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mo Qingxue’s expression drastically changed, her face showing disbelief. She had never expected Ye Xuan to say such a thing.
Why are young girls in this era so resentful towards the sons of rich landlords? Is it because of their immoral behavior?
Of course not, ordinary daughters wouldn’t think so far ahead. In this era, marrying into a wealthy family is something they wouldn’t even dare to dream of—!!!
Who among the common folk could refuse a life of guaranteed wealth and luxury? They hate these rich young masters because they merely toy with them.
If they truly believed their sweet nothings and ruined their lives, they would inevitably be abandoned after being played with. That’s why these poor daughters avoid these infamous rich young masters like the plague.
If Ye Xuan truly intended to marry her properly, she believed no girl in Wuyuan Town would refuse. Mo Qingxue was no exception; how could she refuse if Ye Xuan really wanted to marry her properly?!! But that’s impossible—!!!
So, thinking this, Mo Qingxue couldn’t help but sneer. “Master Ye, haven’t you had enough fun yet?!!” Her expression was icy as she spoke, “Do you think I would believe your words?!! Rest assured, I know what you are capable of, I won’t report to the authorities–!”
She had already decided that once she left this place and returned home, after stabilizing her family situation, she would find a secluded place to end her life. For her family, she could only endure...
Taking revenge on Ye Xuan was something she desperately wanted in her heart but had no power to accomplish.
Seeing the coldness in Mo Qingxue’s eyes, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but show a hint of pity. Regardless of whether she would want to kill him in the future, she was innocent now, just as he would be innocent in the future.
Ah, why do I always end up with the villain’s script? I want to be a good person too—!!!
With this thought, Ye Xuan continued, “Don’t look at me like that. I have no intention of toying with you. You can stay here. I’ll immediately send someone to your home to propose marriage. Once I bring your brother here, you will understand.”
Hearing this, Mo Qingxue’s expression drastically changed, she hurriedly said, “What are you going to do? I’ve already agreed not to report you, what more do you want? Don’t harm my brother...”
“He still has to take care of my mother, my sister-in-law, and he has children to raise—!!! I’ll do anything, I can be your slave, just don’t harm them—!!! Please, I was wrong, I shouldn’t have looked at you like that earlier. I won’t dare to look at you that way again.”
In Mo Qingxue’s view, it must have been her insufficiently subservient attitude that made Ye Xuan hold a grudge and want to harm her family, to teach her a lesson.
Seeing Mo Qingxue so terrified, Ye Xuan also felt very uncomfortable inside. Although he had said before that being the bad guy was thrilling, that was a lie.
Ye Xuan didn’t actually like being the bad guy, and playing the part of forcibly taking a virtuous girl, while unexpectedly exciting, also made him feel guilty... although still a bit exciting.
A girl whom he had just wronged was now kneeling before him, begging him not to harm her family. He truly felt the weight of his sins.
Cough...
But at this moment, he could only continue according to the script. He said coldly, “Stop it, or I really will harm your family—!!!”
Mo Qingxue instantly quieted down after such words came out of Ye Xiyan’s mouth. Her heart was filled with hatred for Ye Xuan, but at this moment, she could only obediently follow his orders.
