Chapter 240: Chapter 242 Excusable
Seeing that Xiao Jiuyuan had stopped his men, Yun Qianyu quickly explained, “The reason why I gave the pill to Hua Mei was because the Xuan Prince had touched the pill. Your Highness must be aware of my hate for Xuan Prince. I wouldn’t consume anything from him, thus in a fit of rage I gave the pill to Hua Mei. This has nothing to do with your Highness.”
Hearing Yun Qianyu’s words, Xiao Jiuyuan felt better. However, Xiao Tianyi’s face became dark again. ‘How much does she hate me? She even disdains anything I touch?’
Seeing that Xiao Jiuyuan’s face seemed less hostile, Yun Qianyu continued to explain,
“Thinking of the humiliation I have suffered on my wedding day, I’d rather walk around with this ruined face than have any involvement with that person,” said Yun Qianyu.
Originally Yun Qianyu had only said all this to save Hua Mei. However, the more she talked, the angrier she became. Glaring at Xiao Tianyi, she continued to ridicule him, “I’m going to remind myself of that day all the time with this ruined face of mine.”
Yun Qianyu’s words caused Xiao Tianyi to become weak. He now knew how much Yun Qianyu really hated him.
In fact, his feelings for Yun Qianyu were complex. On the one hand, Xiao Tianyi’s mother had pleaded with the emperor to appoint Yun Qianyu to marry him. On the other hand, he disliked the fact that she was worthless and incompetent and felt that she wasn’t worth the name of Xuan princess consort.
Yun Qianxue, on the other hand, had once saved his life. She not only liked him and adored him, but was also the favourite daughter of the Yun family. Given her great talents as well, Xiao Tianyi thought that only Yun Qianxue was worthy to be his wife.
That was why on that day, he had been willing to trade Yun Qianyu for Yun Qianxue.
If he had to give up someone, Xiao Tianyi would naturally give up Yun Qianyu.
However, not only did Yun Qianyu not die, but she also came back stronger.
Never in his dreams would he have expected to slowly become attracted to Yun Qianyu. However, on this day he finally realized something: he liked Yun Qianyu.
He regretted what he had done on his wedding day, but it was already too late.
Xiao Tianyi got such a huge shock that his hands became cold and he almost couldn’t stand up straight. Yan Jinghong quickly supported him and prevented him from doing something disgraceful.
On the other hand, Xiao Jiuyuan was in a good mood compared to Xiao Tianyi.
With a kind face, Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qianyu and said, “If that’s the reason then I’ll forgive your servant girl.”
Xiao Jiuyuan raised his hand and Hua Mei was immediately released.
Yun Qianyu breathed a sigh of relief, while Hua Mei almost couldn’t hold it together. If not for Little Bell there supporting her, Hua Mei would have fainted.
Although Yun Qianyu was glad that Hua Mei was alright, she was still upset. Xiao Jiuyuan was too much.
However, she quickly thought of what had happened to Xiao Jiuyuan the previous night and she couldn’t help but smile. Although she hadn’t noticed anything strange back then, she suspected that Xiao Jiuyuan had been poisoned.
Thinking about this, Yun Qianyu felt a little better.
