Please Forgive Me
Watching Ouyang Shaochen and Murong Xue fade away, Old Prince Jing looked dreadfully gloomy . The Ice Poison belonged to extreme Yin, so only the Fire Lotus which belonged to the extreme Yang was its bane . Earth Yang Grass only belonged to Yang medicine, which couldn’t suppress the Ice Poison at all . Although it may work temporarily, it would also make one feel as good as dead .
No one would like to suffer using the ineffective medicine while leaving the effective one out there . But since Murong Xue did so, it could only mean that Marquis Mansion had no more Fire Lotuses, so she could only use the Earth Yang Grass as the replacement .
But he remembered Murong Yue had collected a lot of Fire Lotuses, which should be enough for ten years, however frequently the poison attacked .
And the year before last year, he had asked Yichen to send Murong Xue more Fire Lotuses . How was it possible they ran out?
Old Prince Jing turned to Ye Yichen slowly, and reproached him, “See what you have done!”
Although he had few contacts with Murong Xue, he could tell she was a gentle and kindhearted woman . If it hadn’t been something she could not bear, she wouldn’t use the Earth Yang Grass instead of the Fire Lotus Ye Yichen had sent her .
Ye Yichen didn’t say anything, with his eyes downcast .

“Why don’t you speak? What have you done to her?” Old Prince Jing scolded him, with raging fire burning in his eyes .
Ye Yichen still didn’t say anything, with his eyes downcast .
Old Consort Jing couldn’t take it anymore . She frowned and said, “Murong Xue is too proud to use the Fire Lotus we gave her . Yichen has nothing to do…”
“I am doing the talking! You have corrupted him, so he would be so reckless in the capital, and never care about other’s feelings . ” Old Prince Jing interrupted her .
“Fire Lotus only grows in our territory . Those bottles of Fire Lotus in the mansion have nearly heaped into dunes! As the fiancée of our mansion, she uses Earth Yang Grass when the Ice Poison attacks her . Don’t you feel humiliated?”
“Murong Xue is no longer Yichen’s fiancée . What kind of medicine she adopts has nothing to with us . ” Old Consort Jing muttered while twitching her mouth .
“But she always was before today!” Old Prince Jing yelled, “As long as Yichen showed a little bit of care about her, would she quit using the Fire Lotus today?”
“But it’s she who proposed to cancel the engagement!” Old Consort Jing disapproved, with her brows knitted: Murong Xue didn’t know chalk from cheese . She deserved it!
“If you hadn’t demoted her to a concubine in front of everyone, do you think she would do this?” Old Prince Jing blamed him, with flames of fury in his eyes, “She is supposed to be the first wife, and just because of a word of you, she was demoted to an inferior side concubine, and in the future her kids would also be at a lower grade . Would you take it if you were her?”

Old Consort Jing blinked her eyes unnaturally . If someone had done this to her, she would also insist cancelling the engagement absolutely . But she still tried to defend herself, “Yichen has cancelled the engagement as she requested . Now she has nothing to do with us anymore . Why would you scold your own son for an outsider?”
“He has made a huge mistake, shouldn’t I teach him a lesson? If he doesn’t learn a lesson out of this, he will make the same mistake some day!” said Old Prince Jing fiercely, while heaving a sigh in his heart: What a well-matched marriage! It’s all because of him!
Actually he opposed it, but Yichen and Murong Xue had made a bet, which had been heard by Ouyang Shaochen and Dongfang Li by accident . If he still insisted, it’d only make Yichen a man against his words . And he and the whole mansion’s reputation would be ruined…
While the old master was reproaching the young master, no servant should be around . No one knew when those maids, mamas, servants and guards were all gone . Only Old Prince Jing, Old Consort Jing, Ye Yichen and Qin Yuyan were left in the huge Lotus Courtyard .
Looking at Old Prince Jing scolding Yichen, Qin Yuyan’s face turned dead pallor . Just throughn a word from Murong Xue, he could already have doped out so many details . That was impressively dreadful .
The truth behind him getting poison and who was behind all this, he should have all doped it out . Or he may even have known that Yingying was only her scapegoat . If that was the case, he could only hate her more and would never allow Yichen to marry her…
Yichen was hers, the position as Yichen’s first wife could only be her .

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yuyan struggled to get off the wheelchair! Thump! She kneeled before Old Prince Jing, “My lord, I’m so sorry . About your getting poisoned, it was not Yingying . I’m the one to blame . ”
Old Prince Jing cast a glance at her and said nothing, like he had already known it all .
Ye Yichen still kept his eyes downcast, saying nothing, like he didn’t hear her at all .
Only Old Consort Jing popped her eyes out surprisingly, “Why would do you do that?”
"Because I want to marry Yichen . But his lord doesn’t like me and has someone else in his heart as his daughter-in-law . So I tried to make us of the Warding-off Wedding . ” Said Qin Yuyan with her head downcast and tears in her eyes .
Old Consort Jing pulled a long face and reproached her, “Did you know this might have killed my husband?”
"No, no, no . . . That kind of poison has an antidote . Whether Yichen would marry me or not, I will give the antidote to his lord anyway…” Qin Yuyan tried to explain, while thinking to herself:
“Old Prince Jing is upright, and he likes honest people . Since he has already known the truth, I have to tell the truth . ”
Of course, she wouldn’t tell every bit of it . She only modified it upon the fact, making it on her favor…
“Oh really?” Old Prince Jing glanced at her, “I thought if it had been Xue’er who had held the Warding-off Wedding with Yichen, you would have used it on me . ”
"No, no, no . . . I have never had t thought it that way . . . "Qin Yuyan denied it, thinking, “He is indeed an old fox, calculating every detail…”
Suddenly a sharp pain from the leg made Qin Yuyan gasp . She lowered her head, looking at the hard and cold ground, frowning: She was in such a hurry that she only wore a think dress . And the injuries on her leg made her feel painful .
Looking at her trembling, Old Consort Jing heaved a sigh, “You are badly injured . You shouldn’t kneel for long . Get up already . "
Qin Yuyan curled up her lips without anyone noticing . She then raised her head and turned to Old Prince Jing, “Please forgive me, my lord . I didn’t mean to hurt you…"
Since Old Consort Jing had already been touched, Old Prince Jing should let it go .
Old Prince Jing caught a glimpse of her and then walked away…
For her own interests, she even tried to sacrifice other’s life . She thought only an apology was enough? No way!
