Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 117:
Chapter 117: We Cultivators Are So Kind-Hearted:
At this moment, Hu Wanquan, Hu Qian’er, and Yu Linger were all looking at Ye Xuan.
Hu Qian’er’s eyes were full of disdain.
Even though she didn’t like Ye Xuan before, considering her father suddenly wanted to marry her off to him, along with Yu Linger, it was hard for her to feel any affection for her future husband.
Now, what Ye Xuan did made her even more disgusted.
Even if God came before her and said she had a predestined relationship with Ye Xuan for several lifetimes, she would never marry such a shameless person.
On the other hand, Yu Linger looked pale, with a hint of pleading in her eyes as she spoke, “Senior Brother… please… tell me… what’s going on?!!”
Facing Hu Qian’er’s disdain, Yu Linger’s pleading, and Hu Wanquan’s seriousness, Ye Xuan shook his head and apologized, “…I’m sorry… Linger… I was momentarily blinded by greed and desire… I… have nothing to say.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Linger’s face grew even paler. She sadly shifted her gaze away, no longer looking at Ye Xuan.
” I’m disappointed in you, Ye Xuan. You wasted all my efforts to help you!”
Seeing this, Hu Wanquan couldn’t hold back anymore. With an angry expression, he rushed to Ye Xuan and struck him with a palm, directly crippling Ye Xuan’s cultivation!
“Ah…!”
Ye Xuan fell to the ground with a miserable cry. He looked toward Yu Linger with a hint of inexplicable emotion in his eyes. However, Yu Linger dared not meet his gaze and quietly shed tears.
“Take him to the firewood room and send him to the authorities tomorrow!”
“Yes…” With Hu Wanquan’s order, several servants guarding the door rushed in. If Ye Xuan hadn’t been disabled, ordinary servants wouldn’t have been able to restrain him. But now… Ye Xuan was weaker than an average person.
“Hmph…!” After having Ye Xuan locked up, Hu Wanquan snorted heavily and then headed toward his concubine’s room. He naturally needed to go comfort his frightened concubine.
“It’s too cheap to just send him to the authorities like this!!!”
At this moment, Hu Qian’er, looking toward the direction of the firewood room, was filled with hatred in her eyes.
She could imagine how her father would be ridiculed next. Although he strictly ordered no one to spread the news, with so many witnesses, how could it not spread? Her father, known for his invincible sword, how could he endure such humiliation?!
She wouldn’t easily let Ye Xuan off.
Thinking of this, she looked at Yu Linger beside her and said, “Linger, you must have seen it too. What kind of person Ye Xuan is. He’s not worthy of your trust. When Master comes back, you better make sure he doesn’t mention marrying you to him again!”
Yu Linger, upon hearing this, just silently shed tears and didn’t say anything.
“Sigh… you should rest early.” Seeing Yu Linger like this, Hu Qian’er sighed and left.

At this moment, everyone in the Fox Palace felt strange about the sudden turn of events. Why did Ye Xuan give up explaining directly? He must have been colluded by those disciples of the Hu family and Hu Wanquan’s concubine, falsely accusing him. Even if he had gone to her room himself and shown disrespect to Master, at most, he should have been punished and not sent to the authorities.
Now that he didn’t explain himself, even if Hu Wanquan wanted to forgive him, he wouldn’t know how to open his mouth.
“It seems that Ye Xuan probably really did this kind of thing for the first time, so he’s a bit flustered and can’t think of how to explain it, right?”
“It should be… But Hu Wanquan really lives up to being the father of the former palace master. His character is so kind and generous.”
“Yes, if I were him, I definitely wouldn’t let Ye Xuan off so easily.”
“We cultivators are so kind-hearted, yet we’re still afraid of being cuckolded, let alone cultivators who value their face the most!”
“That’s true. If it were me, I’m afraid I would have killed Ye Xuan!”
“But in this way, we probably understand why Ye Xuan would be so cruel to our palace master. It’s probably resentment from the past life.”
“Yes, that should be it. But he brought it upon himself, yet he still dares to ask for retribution from the past life? Ha!”
“Pffft…!”
“Yu Linger is really pitiful. Betrayed by Ye Xuan in the previous life, and betrayed by him again in this life…”
“You see, she’s still foolishly protecting Ye Xuan now.”
As they spoke, some people looked toward Yu Linger.
Unlike the others, Yu Linger didn’t say anything different from the scene, now standing by Ye Xuan’s side. Even though Ye Xuan’s strength had surpassed hers, if needed, she would definitely die for Ye Xuan first.
Seeing Yu Linger like this, some couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. Such a good girl, why did she fall for such a villain like Ye Xuan?
Hu Qianzao looked at Yu Linger and said, “Yu Linger, have you seen it? The truth is sometimes straightforward. I know it’s hard for you to accept, but this is the truth. Perhaps some people now seem to be good in your eyes, but once tempted, they can become villains. Just like Ye Xuan by your side… How he behaves in front of you now doesn’t change the fact that he will do cruel things to me in the future. You’d better wake up, or you’ll end up like your past life, left with nothing but sadness and unable to even speak. Regret will come too late.”
Upon hearing this, Yu Linger couldn’t help but feel guilty. Did she really betray Ye Xuan in her past life? Did she not firmly believe in him when he needed it most?
As for what Hu Qianzao said, she didn’t pay attention at all.
