Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness - Chapter 130:
(On the screen)
“If anyone reveals what happened tonight, I won’t spare them!”
After Hu Wanquan, whom Yu Tieshan had possessed, issued the command, Ye Xuan was crippled from his martial arts and imprisoned.
At this moment, he looked worse than an ordinary person, lying quietly in the firewood room without making a sound.
In his mind, images from before surfaced: Yu Tieshan breaking his martial bones with a single palm strike, the pale-faced Yu Ling’er unable to bear seeing him hurt, and the deeply resentful look from Hu Qian’er.
“For saving someone unrelated to me, causing Ling’er to worry for me… and becoming a cripple, was it really worth it?”
In the dead silence of the night, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but ponder this question as he looked at the ceiling of the firewood room.
(Outside the screen)
Listening to Ye Xuan’s thoughts, the Jade Fox Palace members couldn’t help but sympathize.
Indeed, while Ye Xuan saved Hu Qian’er, she utterly despised him, even harboring deep hatred toward him.
Although this couldn’t be blamed on Hu Qian’er, for Ye Xuan, it was sacrificing himself to save her, only to receive her resentment in return—a painful truth.
Even if someone was willing to sacrifice themselves to save another when the person they saved not only failed to appreciate it but also hated them, did he still have the heart to uphold his belief?
“Ye Xuan must be regretting it, right?”
“To be honest… Even I would regret it if faced with such a situation.”
“Helping others doesn’t always mean expecting something in return, but being hated by the one you saved, this is just too unbearable.”
Saying so, the Jade Fox Palace members turned their gaze toward Hu Qianzao. Their palace master owed Ye Xuan too much in her past life.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but feel speechless.
“Don’t all look at me, I didn’t do it!”
Obviously, she had accepted this fact. In her past life, she indeed owed Ye Xuan a lot. It was she who caused Ye Xuan to suffer so grievously!
Thinking about this, she felt a sense of indebtedness in her heart. Could it be that Ye Xuan came to collect the debt from her past life?
No, that was impossible!
Past life matters were past, unrelated to her.
Thinking this, she couldn’t help but take a deep breath and shift her gaze back to the scene.
Ye Xuan must still be regretting it… he must feel that what he did wasn’t worth it, right?
(On the screen)
“Is this worth it?” Ye Xuan asked himself, and then his expression hardened.
“It is worth it, very much so… one lives only a hundred years, in this limited time, doing what I want to do, that’s what’s worth it! I don’t want to spend my remaining years regretting turning a blind eye to an innocent person’s death, even if saving them might cost me my life. But, it’s still worth it!”
(Outside the screen)
Hearing Ye Xuan’s thoughts, the Jade Fox Palace members suddenly looked at him with admiration.
Surprisingly, Ye Xuan had no regrets. In fact, his attitude was even firmer than before.
In this world, many did good deeds, but people like Ye Xuan, who sacrificed themselves without regret, were truly rare.
Ye Xuan shouldn’t have had to endure such injustice… Everything he did was because he couldn’t bear to see Hu Qian’er harmed.

The following morning.
Hu Qian’er arrived at the firewood room early with a group of servants.
Seeing Ye Xuan still lying on the woodpile, she sneered, “Take this shameless scoundrel out—!”
“Yes!”
Several servants rushed up and dragged Ye Xuan away, cruelly dragging him out of the firewood room.
Although Ye Xuan was born humble, he was once a skilled martial artist. These servants couldn’t harm him, even if ten more of them existed. Now, in the hands of these servants, he had no resistance at all, not even a hint of it.
But, being dragged like this left a trail of blood under Ye Xuan’s feet, which appeared quite long.
(Outside the screen)
In the eyes of the Jade Fox Palace members, this bloodstain was truly shocking.
Hu Qianzao looked at the scene, unable to bear it.
But thinking about what she needed to do next in her past life, she couldn’t help but worry even more about Ye Xuan in her past life.
How could she have felt so happy seeing her past self beaten to a pulp, covered in blood, and crippled?
But now, she wished she could jump into the scene and give her past self a resounding slap, telling her the truth.
However, she couldn’t do it; all she could do was watch.
This feeling of watching a kind person being bullied by evil people while ignorant people help the evil and scorn the kind was truly terrible.
Obviously, her past self knew nothing, yet she arrogantly watched Ye Xuan, even laughing scornfully.
At this moment, even Hu Qianzao couldn’t help but curse her past self in her heart for being so stupid. This feeling of helplessness, seeing a good person being bullied by evil, was truly unbearable. Especially since that person was her past self, this made her feel like she wanted to slap herself in the face.
(On the screen)
“Hit him, hit him hard! If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility. After the beating, break his legs and send him to the authorities.”
At this moment, Hu Qian’er had Ye Xuan dragged to the main street early in the morning, and she viciously beat him in front of everyone.
“Oh, isn’t this a bit too harsh, Miss Hu? What did this man do?!” At this moment, someone curiously asked Hu Qian’er.
“Listen up, everyone!”
Hu Qian’er looked at the crowd, her lips curling into a sneer. “This man is a shameless thief and scoundrel. He stole money from my Hu family and even attempted to harm my Hu mansion’s maids. He was caught red-handed. Should he be beaten or not?!”
“What?!” Hearing this, everyone around was furious and glared at Ye Xuan.
“He should be beaten! He should be beaten! Such a person deserves to be beaten!”
“I’ll do it!”
Saying this, a passerby rushed up and viciously kicked Ye Xuan.
“Hit him!”
For a while, everyone on the street cast disdainful glances at Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with contempt and disgust.
Under her mother’s guidance, even a little girl threw rotten eggs at Ye Xuan.
“Daughter, listen to me, the worst people in this world are scoundrels like him. They excel at ruining a girl’s reputation. We mustn’t be lenient with such people.”
The woman said to her daughter. “Got it, Mother!”
The little girl held the egg and threw it at Ye Xuan’s face.
The egg splattered on his face.
“Good!!!”
Countless people cheered. As for Ye Xuan, facing ridicule, scorn, rotten vegetables, and accusations from countless people, even his strong nature couldn’t prevent a hint of tears from welling up in his eyes.
He didn’t blame these people, but he felt deeply wronged.
Clearly, he hadn’t done anything wrong, yet he was treated this way.
“Oh? You still have the nerve to cry?” At this moment, Hu Qian’er approached Ye Xuan and gloated, “You shameless scoundrel… still dreaming of marrying me? Dream on! This is the fate you deserve!”
(Outside the screen)
Seeing the scene of countless people cheering, Hu Qian’er mocking, and Ye Xuan tearful and wronged, some sensitive girls in the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t help but shed tears.
“Don’t bully him, he’s innocent!”
“Sob sob, Ye Xuan is so pitiful!”
Even some male disciples from the Jade Fox Palace couldn’t hold back their tears.
Why did Ye Xuan end up like this? The palace master’s past life was truly full of sins.
