Realizing She Misunderstood The Villain, The Heroine Begs For Forgiveness

Chapter 49 - Sincerity in Playing the Villain

Chapter 49: Sincerity in Playing the Villain

“Brother Ye Xuan’s past life involved forcibly taking away innocent girls?!” Yu Ling’er couldn’t help but feel distressed.

Elder Qingxue’s statement seemed so certain, as if it was backed by substantial evidence. Could it really be true? But if Brother Ye Xuan’s past life was indeed the same person, she believed he couldn’t have committed such acts.

It’s absolutely impossible! There must be a misunderstanding…

Perhaps it’s a trick of inner demons or maybe Elder Qingxue remembered it wrong. She preferred to doubt Elder Qingxue’s memory rather than believe Ye Xuan could do such a thing.

She had misunderstood Ye Xuan enough; now, she chose to steadfastly believe in him, without arguing with Elder Qingxue. What she believes may not always be true, so why argue? She just needed to trust Ye Xuan.

“You don’t believe me?” Elder Qingxue asked, seeing Yu Ling’er’s reaction. “I won’t make a mistake about this. It’s my personal experience. He violated me and forced me to marry him. I know everything that happened afterward more than anyone else–!!!”

Yu Ling’er gasped in shock. Violated? At this moment, she seemed to understand many things, feeling like she had grown a lot and learned many truths.

Elder Qingxue was a real immortal of Taihua Immortal Sect. Could she have had such a past? It seemed unlikely she would lie about such a matter. If so, then it must be true—could Ye Xuan really have done such a thing? Why would he do it? What reason did he have at that time?

Yu Ling’er was shocked but still willing to believe in Ye Xuan’s character. Ye Xuan, looking at Elder Qingxue, reminisced internally. This seemingly cold beauty actually had a soft side. This script was created by Ye Xuan, who first traversed time and then played it out.

Everything, including the things that hurt Elder Qingxue, was done by him. But now, Ye Xuan had a powerful system to whitewash his past, no matter how villainous he used to be.

As Elder Qingxue learns more about the past, she’ll regret hating him and might even cry. After all, even Ye Xuan, the scriptwriter, found his own script hard to handle. Such intense emotional turmoil!

———

“Brother Ye Xuan, are you really willing to stop looking at other women for me?” Jiang Ling’er, completely moved by Ye Xuan, asked.

“Cough… That’s not necessary,” Ye Xuan replied. “If I marry you and can’t look at other women, I might as well gouge out my eyes when I go out.”

“Hehe, okay, Brother Ye Xuan, you can look, but just a glance. I won’t get mad,” Jiang Ling’er laughed. “But if you betray me, I’ll disappear from your life forever, and I mean it.”

“Don’t worry, I will never let you down in this lifetime,” Ye Xuan declared. “Once we get back, I’ll immediately send a matchmaker to your family to propose.”

“Okay!” Jiang Ling’er nodded excitedly. “It’s getting late, Brother Ye Xuan, I should go home now, goodbye.”

“Let me walk you home,” Ye Xuan offered.

“No need,” Jiang Ling’er replied. “If my parents see me with you this late, they’ll scold me.”

“Alright, be safe on your way.” Ye Xuan sighed helplessly as he watched Jiang Ling’er leave.

Walking alone on her way home, Jiang Ling’er’s demeanor changed as soon as she disappeared from Ye Xuan’s sight. She swiftly moved to a secluded corner where a faint figure stood.

“Master,” she greeted the figure in the shadows.

“Ling’er, have you decided?” A female voice emerged from the darkness.

“Yes, Master, I want to marry Brother Ye Xuan.” “Ah… You’re too young to easily trust a man’s promises,” the voice said. “Do you think he won’t look at other women just because he said so for you?”

“Uh… It’s okay if he glances at them,” Jiang Ling’er replied. “But he can’t look too much, or I’ll get angry.”

The shadowed figure was speechless. That’s not what I meant…

———

“Uh…” Yu Ling’er, watching the unfolding scenes in the mirror, couldn’t help but be stunned.

“What’s happening here?” She turned and asked Ye Xuan.

“…”

Ye Xuan responded, “Keep watching.”

“Uh…” As Elder Qingxue watched the plot in the mirror, she felt increasingly uneasy. No, what exactly is this Former Dust Mirror? It was supposed to show Ye Xuan’s sins, but it’s been displaying these irrelevant things.

Fine. But now it’s even started to show events related to Jiang Ling’er? Making me watch this dog-food scenes, is this broken mirror even polite?

My own story is just a little bit, and it’s all awkward stories… Once I’m done with it this time, I’ll throw you away, hmph–!!! Quickly show me the despicable and shameless things Ye Xuan has done–!!!

———

“Fantastic, haha, Xiao Ling’er has decided to marry me–!!!” At this moment, Ye Xuan was on his way home alone and wore an uncontrollable smile on his face.

He had made up his mind that once he got home, he would immediately find a matchmaker to propose to the Jiang family. After all, he was not getting any younger, and it was time to think about marriage.

“Hahaha, isn’t this Mo Qingxue? She’s really pretty, come on, let me take a good look.”

“Move aside–!”

“Don’t go–!!!”

“Move aside–!!!”

Just then, Ye Xuan saw a disturbance happening ahead.

“?!”

He hurried over and saw several men surrounding a young girl, looking provocative. “What are you doing–!!!” Ye Xuan shouted at them.

“Who dares to meddle in our business in Wuyuan Town?!”

“Kid, don’t meddle–!!!” Hearing someone scolding them, the men turned to Ye Xuan and shouted.

“Is that so?” Ye Xuan said, “You few, in broad daylight, dare to molest a decent girl, itching for a beating, aren’t you?”

“Oh, isn’t this Brother Ye?”

“I heard Brother Ye once praised Mo Qingxue as the most beautiful girl in all of Wuyuan Town. Could it be, Brother Ye, you also fancy Mo Qingxue?”

“Cough, Brother Ye… since you’ve spoken, we’ll leave right away, right away–!!!”

Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, the crowd recognized him. Immediately, the several men ran away.

Ye Xuan knew these guys; they were the wealthy and pampered young masters of Wuyuan Town.

Ye Xuan started from nothing, while these people had generational wealth. Before Ye Xuan’s rise, most of Wuyuan Town’s resources were controlled by these wealthy youths.

They had long developed a lawless character, daring to harass a girl in broad daylight. Of course, they only dared to harass, as the era, although not very stable, wasn’t too bad.

But this was just the surface. In reality, this dynasty was already descending into chaos. On the surface, there was government control, but in secret, the powerful had long been lawless.

Mo Qingxue was fine as a child, but now that she had grown up, there were quite a few unscrupulous wealthy youths eyeing her.

“Are you alright? Were you frightened by them?” At this moment, Ye Xuan approached Mo Qingxue with a smile and asked her.

“–!!!!” Faced with Ye Xuan’s smiling face, Mo Qingxue glared at him disdainfully and then passed by him, quickly running towards a direction not far away.

“??!!!” Watching Mo Qingxue’s disdainful look, Ye Xuan was puzzled. “Did I offend her somehow?”

———

Watching this scene in the mirror, Elder Qingxue became even more embarrassed. She clearly remembered that in her youth, she indeed was entangled with these wealthy young masters for a period.

This was also the opportunity for her to formally meet Ye Xuan. But at that time, due to her brother’s false accusations, she had no good feelings for this Young Master Ye. So, no matter what he did, she looked at him with disdain.

In her view, her being harassed by these wealthy young masters must have been Ye Xuan’s own arrangement. He wanted to play the hero saving the beauty, to deceive her heart. Could this also be a misunderstanding?

Especially now, seeing Ye Xuan in the mirror, looking puzzled at her retreating figure, she had an even worse premonition. Could it be, she had misunderstood Ye Xuan from the beginning?

But, even if some things were misunderstandings, the things that happened later couldn’t be wrong. These were all admitted by Ye Xuan himself. Right–!!! Thinking this, Elder Qingxue’s gaze continued to watch the scenes in the mirror.

———

”…” Bewildered by Mo Qingxue’s disdainful glance, Ye Xuan was puzzled for a moment, then stopped dwelling on it. He walked leisurely on the way home.

However, not long after, Mo Qingxue, who had just given him a disdainful look, ran up to him again. “Young Master Ye, please… lend me some money.”

At this moment, Mo Qingxue’s face was ashen. With a heart full of reluctance, she had to do this. Her brother, because of being tricked by Ye Xuan once, not only failed to borrow money but also ended up in debt, and had to pay interest.

During this time, her family had been struggling to make ends meet. Under such circumstances, her brother, in order to earn money, had to desperately try to find work. But money isn’t something you can just earn by wanting it.

Moreover, more importantly, her mother was sick now, and if no doctor was willing to treat her, she might–!!! But seeing a doctor also costs money. At this time, she could only ask Ye Xuan for help.

“Lend money? What do you need the money for?” Ye Xuan casually asked.

“I…” Mo Qingxue said, “My mother is sick.”

“Is that so, then let’s go.” Ye Xuan said, “I’ll go and get a doctor for you.”

“No need, you just need to lend me the money, I will pay you back.” Mo Qingxue said.

“Being sick is no small matter, it’s not something that can be solved by borrowing a little money, let’s still have a doctor take a look.” Ye Xuan said, “Anyway, I have good news today, consider it as doing a good deed out of boredom.”

“…” Hearing Ye Xuan’s words, Mo Qingxue frowned slightly. She originally wanted to refuse, not wanting to get too entangled with Ye Xuan. In her view, Ye Xuan was a big villain.

If it weren’t for being driven to desperation, she would never come to Ye Xuan for a loan. But now, she had no choice but to agree. Her mother’s illness was still waiting to be treated.

———

“…” Elder Qingxue watched herself in the mirror, asking Ye Xuan for money, yet her expression was quite calm. Because, the events happening were not the main point. The main point was what happened afterward.

———

In the mirror, Ye Xuan not only found a doctor for Mo Qingxue, had her mother’s illness diagnosed, and got medicine prescribed. He also paid for all their medical expenses and left some money for their livelihood.

He didn’t know what Mo Qingxue’s family thought of him at that moment. But he didn’t care. After everything was done, he said to Mo Qingxue: “If you have any difficulties in the future, feel free to come to me, it’s okay.”

“Thank you, Young Master Ye,” Mo Qingxue thanked Ye Xuan, but once Ye Xuan left, her expression turned cold. In her view, Ye Xuan’s kindness to her family was not genuine.

If it wasn’t for Ye Xuan tricking her brother earlier, her family wouldn’t have had to starve, her brother wouldn’t need to work from dawn to dusk, and her mother wouldn’t have fallen ill.

So, all this was caused by Ye Xuan, and she felt no need to thank him. What she did was just superficial compliance.

“Ah, Young Master Ye, Young Master Ye, thank you so much, you really are a living Bodhisattva–!!!” At this moment, Mo Dazhuang, who had returned from work outside, was also thanking Ye Xuan profusely.

He was so excited that he even patted Ye Xuan’s back, then immediately felt it was impolite. How could he, a lowly person, touch Young Master Ye with his dirty hands?

He quickly withdrew his hand, and continued thanking Ye Xuan: “If it weren’t for you, my old mother would probably have been in grave danger–!!!”

“I’ve said, no need to thank me, I just happened to be there.” Ye Xuan said, “And… the money you owe me, you don’t have to pay it back.”

“Really?!!” Hearing this, Mo Dazhuang was overjoyed. His family had struggled even to have a full meal lately, and yet they still owed money to Ye Xuan. Now, Ye Xuan was saying they didn’t have to pay it back… At this moment, he was naturally ecstatic.

———

“Elder Qingxue, you said that Young Master Ye did many excessive things to you in his previous life… What exactly were those excessive things?” Yu Ling’er asked Elder Qingxue: “But, I see that he is very good to you now. Hehe.”

Hearing this, Elder Qingxue replied: “It’s undeniable that he has a way with people on the surface, otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen for him later, even knowing he was not a good person.”

“?!!” Hearing this, Yu Ling’er became even more surprised. What?!! Elder Qingxue had also liked Young Master Ye’s previous life?!! Didn’t she say that Young Master Ye forced himself on her and made her marry him?!!

How could she possibly have fallen for Young Master Ye?!! She thought Elder Qingxue was holding a grudge because of being forced by Ye Xuan, hence seeking revenge.

So, it wasn’t like that? She had already fallen for Ye Xuan, meaning she no longer cared about being forced to marry him?!!

Seeing Yu Ling’er’s shocked expression, Elder Qingxue said: “Soon, you will see this guy’s true colors, I hope then, you’ll still continue to like him–!”

“I’ll wait and see, but let me say in advance, no matter what happens, I still believe in Young Master Ye.” Yu Ling’er did not forget to express her love for Ye Xuan, giving him a sweet smile.

And Ye Xuan also smiled back at her.

Then, everyone continued to watch the unfolding plot.
