Chapter 74: - Even If the whole world Stands Against Ye Xuan, I Will Firmly Believe In Him!:
(Within the Past Reflection Mirror)
After Ye Xuan forcibly quieted Mo Qingxue down, he sighed and said to her, “Listen to me; since you know how capable I am, you should understand that if I’ve said I’ll marry you, you can’t refuse. Otherwise, I’ll make you understand the consequences of defying me. Understand?!”
“…Yes, I understand… I understand…!”
TEEI
Mo Qingxue suppressed her hatred and looked obedient.
But deep down, she naturally didn’t believe Ye Xuan truly intended to marry her.
He must only want to toy with her.
So, for now, she could only go along with what Ye Xuan said.
At this moment, she felt utterly hopeless and resentful.
Why was the heavens so unfair to her? Why did she have to endure such a fate?!!!
“Good, as long as you understand. Hmph, rest for now. You’re still too tired.”
Saying this, Ye Xuan got up alone, dressed, and left.
Seeing Ye Xuan’s cold and heartless demeanor, tears of grievance welled up in Mo Qingxue’s eyes.
‘We’re all humans; why should I be treated like this?!!!’
‘If there are truly gods in this world, why haven’t they come to save me from my suffering?!!!’
…
After Ye Xuan left the room, he heaved a long sigh.
Then, he furrowed his eyebrow.
“It’s really strange… how could I do such a despicable thing?” He muttered to himself.
“Oh, Young Master Ye, you’ve finally come out!”
“Young Master Ye, you’re quite blessed!!!”
As soon as Ye Xuan stepped out of his courtyard, two guards congratulated him in unison.
Ye Xuan looked at the two before speaking: “Both of you, find me a matchmaker.”
“Young Master Ye, are you going to propose to the Jiang family? You seem to have forgotten that you’ve already arranged a matchmaker to go to the Jiang family today.”
One guard said.
“No, this time, I want you to arrange it, not for that family, but for the Mo family.” Ye Xuan said.
“The Mo… Mo family?” The two guards exchanged a glance and asked: “Which Mo family?”
“Which other Mo family could it be? The Mo Qingxue’s family.” Ye Xuan said.
“Ah?!!”
Hearing this, both guards couldn’t help but be shocked: “Young Master Ye, are you not fully awake… Are you still in a dreamy state, intending to marry Mo Qingxue?”
“Do I look like I’m not awake?”
Ye Xuan looked at them with a hint of hostility in his eyes.
“Ah… no.”
One guard quickly explained: “It’s just that I don’t quite understand, Young Master Ye; with your status, if you have set your sights on Mo Qingxue, why do you need to find a matchmaker? Let me take some betrothal gifts to the Mo family and inform them. The Mo family will be eager to keep Mo Qingxue by your side. She’s still yours if you make her your slave or maid, right? How could Mo Qingxue be worthy of you?”
Hearing the guard’s words, Ye Xuan gave him a cold look and said: “Then let your sister come to serve me. Are you willing to?”
“…”
The guard coughed lightly, not daring to respond to Ye Xuan’s words.
Although their family wasn’t wealthy or noble, they still had some money. It hadn’t reached the point of selling their sister.
Being a servant was different from being sold.
One was employment with wages; the other was selling oneself.
Even if they weren’t so poor that they couldn’t afford food, how could they be willing to sell their sister or daughter?
“Alright, go and do as I said. Why say more?” Ye Xuan said: “Remember, it’s a proper wedding. From now on, Mo Qingxue will be your mistress. You know the consequences if you dare to disrespect her or her family.”
“Yes, yes, Young Master Ye, we understand.”
The two guards immediately turned and left to carry out Ye Xuan’s orders.
After giving his orders, Ye Xuan had the kitchen staff prepare a bowl of chicken soup and bring it to his room.
When he returned to his room, he saw that Mo Qingxue was already neatly dressed.
She stood there obediently, her head bowed, not letting Ye Xuan see her eyes.
Ye Xuan knew she hated him right now, but he just looked at her and said, “Come here.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
Mo Qingxue obediently walked up to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan just told her, “Sit down first. I’ve had chicken soup sent over. You must live well for me no matter what you’re thinking now. If you have any thoughts of self-harm, I… will make sure you won’t rest in peace even after death.”
“I understand. Thank… thank you for your concern, Young Master,” Mo Qingxue said through gritted teeth.

Looking at Mo Qingxue in the scene, even Yu Linger felt sorry for her.
So, this was what real grief meant?
But even after experiencing such things, Elder Qingxue forgave Brother Ye Xuan.
What could have happened later to make her hate Brother Ye Xuan to such an extent?
Thinking this to herself, she opened her mouth and asked: “Senior Qingxue, I think… Brother Ye Xuan must have done something wrong. Although he treated you poorly before, don’t you think this is different from his usual behavior? There must be a misunderstanding.”
“What kind of misunderstanding could there be?” Elder Qingxue said. “The saying goes, ‘You can know a person’s appearance but not their heart.’ You’ll only understand if someone is sincere or not if they’re willing to die for you! Otherwise, all the kindness they showed you before could have been fake. Moreover, he used every means possible against me from the beginning.”
Hearing this, Yu Linger looked at Ye Xuan, thinking to herself.
Elder Qingxue’s understanding of love was too naive. If being willing to die for someone was considered sincere, then what about being forced to live in despair, unable to die, enduring all the injustice and grievances?
She couldn’t bear Ye Xuan suffering, and she even felt afraid to imagine it.
‘So, even if the whole world stands against Ye Xuan, I will firmly believe in him!’
Even if it meant dying with him…
Feeling Yu Linger silently gazing at him with affectionate eyes, Ye Xuan didn’t blush or breathe heavily but naturally accepted her affectionate gaze.
Speaking of which, Yu Linger was truly innocent.
Because she thought his pain was real when in fact, but it was all an act from him… because he was too afraid of pain.
He was just acting.
When he crossed back into the world before Yu Linger was reborn, he had no feelings or pain. He was just a heartless actor.
On the contrary, he really crossed back to the past for Qingxue, did everything according to the script, and even washed himself white…
But he also truly devoted himself to her.
So, compared to Qingxue, Mo Qingxue got a much better deal. She had already received his true love, and it was just a misunderstanding on her part.
Yes, that was right, he whitewashed himself…
It wasn’t a misunderstanding unless it was whitewashed.
However, although Yu Linger hadn’t really received his true love before, because she was treating him so sincerely now, he also began to like this naive girl.

“Young Master, the chicken soup is here.” Just as Ye Xuan and Mo Qingxue were sitting quietly together, there was a knock at the door.
“Come in.” Ye Xuan said casually.
A maid dressed in servant attire walked in from outside.
Her gaze was somewhat surprised as she looked at Mo Qingxue sitting next to Ye Xuan.
Naturally, she wasn’t as bored as Ye Xuan, who had time to wander around and know which beauty was attractive in the surrounding areas.
But for the first time, there was a girl in Young Master Ye’s room.
However, this girl was quite pretty and didn’t know which family she was from.
After placing the chicken soup down, she awkwardly realized that she had thought Ye Xuan would be eating alone, so she only brought one bowl.
“Young Master, let me get another bowl,” she said to Ye Xuan.
“No need, I’m not hungry,” Ye Xuan said casually.
The maid looked at him and served a bowl of chicken soup to Mo Qingxue before saying, “Please enjoy, Miss.”
“Alright, you may leave,” Ye Xuan told the maid.
“Yes.”
After that, the maid answered him and left. But before leaving, she took a glance at Mo Qingxue.
Meanwhile, looking at the chicken soup before her, Qingxue felt disgusted.
She, Mo Qingxue, would rather starve to death, or hang herself than eat anything from the Ye family!
So, she didn’t intend to eat.
Ye Xuan asked her, “Aren’t you hungry?”
“I… I’m not hungry,” Mo Qingxue shook her head.
Growl, growl, growl, growl~
Human willpower could be as strong as steel, and even Ye Xuan, an ordinary person, could drive away endless demons with his willpower.
But the human stomach was also very realistic; when it was called, one had to eat.
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Mo Qingxue’s ears immediately turned red.
(Outside the Past Reflection Mirror)
Yu Linger almost couldn’t help but laugh.
Although she knew that Qingxue must be feeling miserable and resentful toward Ye Xuan at this moment, she still found it funny.
Sometimes, human sorrow was truly incomprehensible.
Someone’s embarrassment may truly be someone else’s joy.
Elder Qingxue couldn’t help feeling helpless.
This mirror of past events was detailed in things that didn’t need to be detailed and omitted important things.

“If you really don’t want to eat, that’s okay,” Ye Xuan told Mo Qingxue.
“But if you’re planning to starve yourself, there’s no need because, as I said before, if you seek death, I won’t be kind to your family.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Qingxue trembled slightly.
“By the way, there’s something more important,” Ye Xuan said. “Don’t think of this as a reward from me… This is something I owe you. So, if you don’t eat and want to save food for me, I’m actually very grateful. If you like, I’ll only let you eat a little daily. In the long run, you’ll save me hundreds of taels.”
“…!”
At that moment, Mo Qingxue suddenly understood.
Yes, what was she doing?
Ye Xuan owed her, yet she was still thinking about saving food for him? How naive she was!
She not only had to eat but also had to eat vigorously, eat until it hurt him, preferably eat until she became fat and ugly, so that he wouldn’t dare touch her again.
Thinking this, Mo Qingxue suddenly found a reason to drink the chicken soup.
So, she picked up the soup and started drinking it.
This soup… neither salty nor bland, tastes delicious.
Mo Qingxue had never drunk such delicious chicken soup in her life, but… she didn’t feel happy at all.
After finishing a bowl of soup, she only felt a heart full of grievances and tears streaming down her face.
Her life was over—completely over!
Seeing Mo Qingxue like this, Ye Xuan sighed.
He knew that whatever he said now would be futile.
“Young Master, Lin Meipo is here,” a servant’s voice came from outside at that moment.
“Hmm.”
Ye Xuan nodded, stood up, and said to Mo Qingxue, “Rest here for a while.”
“Hmm.” Mo Qingxue replied.
After Ye Xuan left, her hateful eyes again turned toward the door.
If she could, she really wanted to fight Ye Xuan to death, to end it all.
But when she thought of her family, she couldn’t do it…
“Hehe, I caught you. You’re hating me again!!!”
