Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness-Chapter 58

Chapter 58

“This look in your eyes… it’s exactly like when I wanted to kill Brother Ye Xuan,” Yu Ling’er glanced at Ye Xuan beside her, thinking to herself.

This was the look Ye Xuan had when he was at his coldest. In his past life, did he start to resent Mo Qingxue after discovering it was her brother’s scheming that caused him to lose Jiang Ling’er?

———

“Is that so?” Ye Xuan said to Mo Qingxue with a cold laugh. “There are immortals and demons in this world, demons that harm people.”

“I… I know… Husband, don’t scare me,” Mo Qingxue replied, somewhat frightened.

“You know fear, huh,” Ye Xuan’s expression grew colder. “Do you know that the scariest thing in this world isn’t demons, but the human heart? Have you been happy with me since you married me?”

“I have been happy…” Mo Qingxue responded, her cheeks flushing. Though initially, it was a forced situation by Ye Xuan, those memories had now turned into beautiful recollections and a topic for Ye Xuan’s private jokes.

“Unfortunately, all of that was fake,” Ye Xuan suddenly said as Mo Qingxue was immersed in happiness. “I purposefully abducted you and then treated you well, just to see how low you could stoop.”

“No matter how outrageously I acted, you would forgive me. Or rather, obediently be a compliant little wife for me… Tsk tsk, it’s really interesting. I never expected you to completely stop hating me…” As Ye Xuan spoke, he looked Mo Qingxue up and down with an amused expression.

“Uh…” Mo Qingxue was thunderstruck, unable to believe Ye Xuan would say such things. Her husband, who had been so good to her, was now uttering the most venomous words in the world.

“Husband… You… You’re lying, right?!” Mo Qingxue panicked. “You’re joking with me, aren’t you?!”

At that moment, her face was filled with helplessness. She couldn’t understand what was happening and why everything had suddenly changed. Her world had already become bleak and desolate.

———

Watching the scene unfold, Elder Qingxue couldn’t help but gasp sharply. Tears welled up in her eyes. Although she knew it was her brother’s fault and that his scheming had cost Ye Xuan his true love, hearing Ye Xuan’s heartless words once more still made her somewhat heartbroken.

Unlike before, where she would only feel hatred, she now felt a sense of guilt. If not for her, Ye Xuan might have already been with Jiang Ling’er in his past life.

It’s no wonder their great marital destiny in the previous life didn’t come to fruition, leading to the entangled relationship between Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er in this life. It was all caused by her. She even had the nerve to hate Ye Xuan for his heartlessness back then, which now seemed so laughable.

Watching Ye Xuan utter such heartless words in the scene, Yu Ling’er also felt pained. Here were two innocent people, but at this moment, one innocent person was forced to hurt another…

All because this was the only way for him to vent a fraction of his anger and frustration.

———

Watching Mo Qingxue’s incredulous expression, a hint of reluctance appeared in Ye Xuan’s eyes. However, this part of the script was necessary to align with Elder Qingxue’s storyline. Otherwise, not only would history change, but he would also cease to exist.

So, with a heartless expression, he continued, “I wish I could tell you I’m joking, but I’m not… Today you’ve seen your brother, your mother, your nephew, and niece, all living well, right? The big house I gave them is nice, isn’t it?”

“Heh, I’ll have them thrown out tomorrow. I advise you not to be ungrateful. If you dare to say a word about this matter, I’ll make them live a life a thousand times more miserable than you can imagine.”

“Uh… Husband… You…” Mo Qingxue panicked, each word and syllable from Ye Xuan piercing her heart like the most venomous thorns.

“Don’t call me husband. You’re nothing but a woman of lowly birth. From now on, you’re to stay inside the house and not step a foot outside. When I’m in the mood, I’ll come to play with you; if I’m not, you can’t go anywhere,” Ye Xuan coldly instructed Mo Qingxue.

Mo Qingxue felt as if she had plunged from the highest point of happiness into the abyss of despair. She knelt down before Ye Xuan, pleading, “Husband… No… Master Ye… I beg you, I’ll be your slave, your servant…”

“You can toy with me however you want, but please spare my family. They have done no wrong to you. If you want entertainment, come to me, but please, spare them.”

“Heh, sorry, I can’t do that,” Ye Xuan replied coldly.

Ye Xuan sneered at Mo Qingxue and said, “Get up. From now on, you’ll do whatever I tell you to do. Otherwise, you know what I’m capable of. If you beg me, I’ll only make your family’s life doubly miserable. Think it through.”

Turning away from Mo Qingxue, he added coldly, “Go back to your room, and don’t provoke me, or you might regret it.”

“No… no, I’ll go right away…” At that moment, Mo Qingxue, feeling utterly helpless, quickly got up and stumbled back to her room, bursting into tears.

“Why… why has it come to this… Was everything before just a lie? So in his eyes, I’m just a despicable woman…”

———

Yu Ling’er, watching the scene, felt her tears flowing uncontrollably. Two innocent people, due to the whims of fate, were forced to hurt each other. Why did it have to be this way?

Elder Qingxue remained silent, but as she watched everything in the scene, it seemed as if she was reliving her own past.

She remembered how heartbroken she felt, believing she had suffered great injustice, not realizing that it was actually Ye Xuan who had been wronged.

If not for her, Ye Xuan would have been with his beloved Jiang Ling’er. How could such subsequent events have occurred? It was her family who had wronged Ye Xuan, but she thought it unjustifiable for Ye Xuan to involve their unborn child.

Ye Xuan internally breathed a sigh of relief. With the storyline set up this way, even if Elder Qingxue had countless grievances, she should understand that it wasn’t he who wronged her, but rather the other way around. Now she had no opportunity to hit him again.

———

In the room, Mo Qingxue’s painful cries could be heard. Ye Xuan stood outside the door, raising his hand, about to go in and comfort her, but soon he lowered his hand.

Whispering to himself, he said, “I’m sorry, my wife. I know you’re innocent, but if I were to go after your brother, you’d surely plead with me. That’s the one thing I can’t agree to.”

“Your brother plotted against me, and I could overlook it for your sake, but he caused me to lose Ling’er. She will never come back to see me. For this, he must pay a price.” A ruthless look appeared in Ye Xuan’s eyes.

———

“My wife?” Elder Qingxue was taken aback by the scene.

He still calls me his wife? Despite knowing the truth, why? Could it be that, deep down, he still considers me his wife? Why? Wasn’t he only willing to marry me because he felt he owed me?

Now that the truth is out, he should know that it is I who owe him. And what does he mean by his words? Is he being so ruthless to me because he fears I would plead for my brother?

“Why would he fear that I’d plead for my brother?” Elder Qingxue’s mind was racing. She couldn’t believe Ye Xuan could truly love her. If he did, why would he later do such excessive things? But now, the things he said, why?

At that moment, every interaction with Ye Xuan came flooding back to her. Everything was clear and unambiguous, yet now, looking back, she was no longer so certain.

———

“Ah–!!! Ah–!!!”

Amidst the screams, Mo Dazhuang was being brutally beaten by Ye Xuan’s guards. “Brother-in-law, please spare me, please!” he begged Ye Xuan on his knees. “I was wrong, I won’t dare again!”

“Heh, you won’t dare again? Of course, you won’t. Now that your sister has married me, you get to bask in my glory and enjoy the good life, right?” Ye Xuan sneered.

“You want me to be grateful to you? Yes, I should be. You sent such a fun plaything my way. I keep her locked up in the house. When I’m in a good mood, I play with her; when I’m not, I leave her alone for days on end. Indeed, I should thank you.”

“What? You–!!!” Mo Dazhuang was enraged to hear how Ye Xuan treated his sister, but he quickly cowered. He begged Ye Xuan, “Brother-in-law…”

“Hmm?!” Ye Xuan looked at him coldly. “You dare call me brother-in-law? What are you!”

“No, no… Master Ye, I… I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your chance at a good marriage. Please, do whatever you want with my sister, just let me go. I have elders and children to care for–!!!” Mo Dazhuang desperately kowtowed to Ye Xuan.
