Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 118:
Chapter 118: What Was Going On Here?!:
(On the screen)
“Send him to the authorities!”
The next day, Ye Xuan was dragged out early in the morning by Hu Qian’er’s men and beaten severely. They broke one of his legs, and he was covered in blood as they sent him directly to the prison without even passing the trial hall.
At this moment, he looked extremely miserable. Compared to his confident demeanor while practicing swordsmanship with Yu Linger in the mountains before, it was like seeing two different people. His pitiful state made everyone’s hearts ache.
(Outside the screen)
“It’s strange, why hasn’t Ye Xuan said a word since last night?”
“Yes… besides a few miserable groans, it seems like he hasn’t said anything.”
“What face does he have to speak? If it were me, caught doing such shameless things, I wouldn’t have the courage to speak either.”
“Exactly. He brought this upon himself. It seems like Ye Xuan’s life should end here?”
“Yes, it should be. Next, we’ll probably see how he harmed our palace master?”
“When the truth comes out, it’ll be the end of him in this life.”
Just as everyone was thinking this, they saw Ye Xuan, who hadn’t spoken all along, finally couldn’t help but shed tears.
“He’s crying?”
“…What right does he have to cry?”
“Exactly, a real man sheds tears without shedding them lightly. He got himself into trouble and was sent to jail. What right does he have to cry?!”
With that, everyone sneered at the current Ye Xuan. Although it was said that the past life and the present weren’t the same person, both were shameless. And Ye Xuan might be seeking revenge in this life because of grievances with the previous palace master, Hu Qianzao. Such resentment from the past life affecting the next life was not unheard of. After all, sometimes, sins couldn’t be washed away by reincarnation.
Seeing their mocking looks, Ye Xuan remained composed on the surface but smiled inwardly. ‘Keep gloating, and see if you’ll still have the face to gloat later.’
At that moment, flashbacks crossed inside Ye Xuan’s mind. It was the scene from the banquet earlier…
“It’s strange, this spell can actually show Ye Xuan’s memories?”
“No wonder it’s the palace master’s spell. Not only can it see the thoughts of the people in the scene, but it can also see what they’re thinking.”
Everyone praised Hu Qianzao’s spell. However, Hu Qianzao herself couldn’t help but feel puzzled. This wasn’t what the North Star Goddess told her. The spell was so powerful that it could even see Ye Xuan’s memories. Oh well, let’s see what memories he recalls now. Although she felt these things weren’t directly related to her, she couldn’t help but feel satisfied at seeing Ye Xuan’s past misfortunes.

“Master, you should rest early.”
In Ye Xuan’s memory, the feast hosted by Master Shou had just ended, and he had drunk a lot of alcohol. It was Yu Linger who helped him back to his room.
After laying him down, Yu Linger said to him, “Wake up early tomorrow, and we’ll go play around some more.”
“Okay.”
Ye Xuan nodded and said, “Linger, you should rest early too… Oh, I noticed those guys giving you suspicious looks. Be careful around them.”
“I understand.”
Yu Linger nodded and then said, “If anything happens, I’ll shout, and then you come and rescue me, okay? Hehe…”
“Haha.. Of course. For you, even if I were to die, Its worth it.”
This statement from Ye Xuan naturally brought a mocking look from the Fox Palace disciples. A man’s words were deceiving. Did what he did afterwards match what he said now?
“Senior Brother, don’t talk about living or dying. I don’t want you to die. What will I do if you die… I want you to live well…”
With that, Yu Linger left Ye Xuan’s room and went to her room next door.
As the candles went out, the entire Hu Mansion fell silent, and the previous bustle seemed to disappear instantly.
In the middle of the night, Ye Xuan, feeling uncomfortable from the urge to urinate, couldn’t sleep and got up from his room.
In a daze, he somehow ended up in the backyard of the Hu Mansion. The backyard was where the women of wealthy families lived, and apart from maids, it was generally inaccessible to servants or disciples.
(Outside the screen)
“Hmm… it seems that Ye Xuan met that concubine at this time?”
“That must be it!”
Everyone looked at the scene because some details weren’t clearly shown, so they didn’t know exactly when Ye Xuan met the concubine Hui Man. It was only a short time, and Ye Xuan was able to get involved with Hu Wanquan’s concubine. Besides the scheming of interested persons, Ye Xuan must have actively sought it out.
Maybe because he met her then, Ye Xuan was tempted and fell into someone’s trap?
Everyone thought so…
(On the screen)
However, Ye Xuan didn’t actually meet the concubine Hui Man as everyone thought. Instead, he found a restroom, relieved himself, and then walked back to his room alone.
The moon tonight was exceptionally bright, shining as brightly as the day. Apart from being covered in darkness, everything could be seen clearly, even without turning on the lights. Even in the bushes, fireflies could be seen glowing. Such a night, compared to the darkness just after nightfall, was simply beautiful.
Ye Xuan’s alcohol tolerance seemed to be better than imagined. In just a short while, he had sobered up. He was just about to admire the night scene in the mansion by moonlight when suddenly, he noticed two people sitting in a small courtyard under the moonlight.
Under the moonlight, Ye Xuan carefully looked at the two people who turned out to be his master, Yu Tieshan, and his brother, Hu Wanquan!
“Why haven’t Master and Uncle gone to rest so late?”
Thinking this, Ye Xuan was about to go out. But the next moment, he saw Hu Wanquan suddenly slap Master Yu Tieshan on the back. Unable to dodge in time, Master Yu Tieshan was knocked unconscious!
“Ah!”
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but widen his eyes as if he couldn’t believe what he saw.
(Outside the screen)
Seeing this scene, the Fox Palace people also looked in disbelief.
What was going on here?!
