You was also observing Ye Jiayao. She looked serene. But the calmer she looked, the harder it get. Ye Jiayao must have some ideas. It would be difficult to solve the problem without meeting her requirement of reconciliation.
After Chunyu and Ye Jiayao sat down, You looked at Liuli and sighed,”What happened in this family really hurt me. I did a failure of being a mother-in-law. I didn’t find out in time and even more stop this thing in time.”
You blamed herself first but suddenly the words turned around. She said,”
“But, we are family after all. Just like the skeleton in the cupboard. Today, we must speak out what enmity do we have and scold whoever you want. Let’s talk things over and punish the one has faults.”
“Fine.” Ye Jiayao admitted that the opening of You sounded good. It moved people by feeling and convinced people by resoning. Just didn’t know if You could follow up.
The old Lord nodded in agreement with the You’s words, and said in authority:” We live under one roof, what family we are if we seduce each other all day. Where do we put our family rules and principles? It’s absolutely not allowed.”
LiuLI’s face was more and more pale. She looked like sitting on pins and needles. Today was her day of reckoning, she really wanted to run away, but she didn’t dare to have such thoughts after taking a glance at Chunfeng who had the same face as she was.
LiuLI only wanted success, she never thought she would lose and she couldn’t afford it.
The two elders have expressed their state. You said:” LiuLi, you cause this matter. Explain it.”
You had fully communicated with LiuLi before and LiuLi would like to admit the mistakes. This matter had to be solved as soon as possible.
LiuLI kept her head down and did not want to see Ye Jinxuan’s cool and proud face. She felt so aggrieved that she had been slapped two times by Ye Jinxuan, which was unforgettable all her life. Is this not enough? Must she humbly ask for forgiveness?
Although she had been prepared mentally before she came, it was hard for her to speak out.
Everybody waited for a moment. LiuLi was still in flounder.
ChunYu said without emotion,” If you don’t want to say something, don’t say it. We won’t push you. If we can’t solve the problem here, we can find the emperor.”
LiuLi finally spoke out, “Sorry.” The voice liked a mosquito.
Such volume, only ChunFeng sat beside her could hear.
“What did you say?” ChunYu asked.
“I’m sorry.” LiuLi resisted the impulse to roll eyes, got up the courage and loudly said.
Ye Jiayao sneered from the bottom of her heart. She thoughts,” Is this an apology? It isn’t sincere. These words can’t stop me pursuing. LiuLi, you really think me as a virgin. If I don’t show you something, you don’t know you should take another look on me.”
You frowned,” LiuLi, you have to apologize sincerely since you realize your mistakes.”
You knew that LiuLi was used to proud. It was difficult to make her humble spirit. But the problem was that, this wasn’t a common conflict. It was so serious that an apology couldn’t dispel JinXuan’s hate.
LiuLi two tears rolled down, crying” You have bet me and I have apologized. What else do you guys want? Do I have to kneel and kowtow to beg for your forgiveness?”
“These words should I ask you. What do you exactly want? How can you give up? Is it like your wish that I am driven out of the house like a stray dog, with a bad name that everyone spit on? Or am I looking for a rope to hang myself from and a pillar to kill?” Ye Jiayao spoke with a cold voice. “If I can’t justify for myself this time, these would be my ending. Are you disappointed that I broke your conspiracy again?”
Xia Chuyu felt so much pain and fear, if Yaoyao kill herself for these, he would kill himself too.
LiuLi bite teeth, with tears, without refutation. What Ye Jiayao said is indeed her ultimate goal. She wanted Ye Jiayao to be notoriety and thousands of people spurned her.
“Do you think it is a good grace for you, such a noble princess, to say sorry to me? I should be glad, oh, that the noble princess has finally stopped caring for me?”, “I’m sorry,” Ye Jiayao sneered. “I’m not as noble as you, and I’m not as tolerant as you. Today, father and mother are all here, tell us what you want. My body, my life, I would give you everything you want. Just say it, saving you from thinking so much which is my guit.”
LiuLi’s face went whiter and whiter by her barbed words. “It’s over and I have apologized. Why can’t you take off the gloves?” She said.
Ye Jiayao gave a sneering laugh, “Does it end? Why do I think it just begin?”
Threat.This a bald threat. LiuLI bit her teeth hating Ye Jiayao. She thought Ye Jiayao was unreasonable, she wouldn’t stay here to listen to her taunting sarcasm because of ChunFeng.
You saw the two women contending with each other again. She was very worried and she took a glance at marquis whose eyebrows were twisted and face was pale.
One did wrong but refused to bow down, and one didn’t want to forgive. You could only hold two sides calme down.
You said:” LiuLi, It’s your fault. What JinXuan said is right. This affair ‘s result is serious. Honor, is the most matter thing in a woman ‘s life. You almost destroyed her honor and harm the relationship between her and her husband. They would probably disintegrate. Such misery she has suffered that you can’t compensate by an apology.”
LiuLi can’t refute but still refused to accept. She thought she has slapped twice by her.
You blamed LiuLi and persuaded Ye Jiayao:” JinXuan, LiuLi’s temper is like this. She can’t put down her face but she already knew she was wrong. She was so regret that promised me she will get along with you well in the future. You just forgive her and get on with it.”
“This is my first time saw people so bold when they do wrong things. If the two change their role, I’m afraid that it won’t work even if JinXuan break her head.”, ChunYu said when Ye Jiayao was about to open her mouth.
You glared at ChunYu and thought:” You are such ignorant. Your mother tried so hard to persuade, and you just help your wife which would make thing worse.”
ChunYu ignored her mother’s and continued, “We don’t need her to apologize either. What’s the use of an insincere apology? I only want to ask father and mother that how LiuLi should be punished according to the family rule.”
The old lord and You looked at each other. According to the family rule, LiuLi should be drove out with no doubts. But LiuLi was a princess after all and the emperor planed the marriage. With the support of empress dowager, it’s not easy to get divorce.
ChunYu sneered:” I get it. JinXuan is right. Can’t we elude her when we couldn’t provoke?”
ChunYu stood up and made a bow with hands folded in front to his parent. “Mum and Dad, please forgive me for my filial piety. Even I made mistake this time, almost wrong JinXuan. My ignorance almost caused irreparable fault which chilled me to the bone. I ashamed that I didn’t protect my wife of being her husband. In order to avoid such unpleasant happening again and maintain the family’s peace even on the surface, I asked mother and father to agree me and JinXuan to move out which also satisfied princess LiuLi’s wish.” ChunYun said solemnly.
Ye Jiayao was shocked. She didn’t think ChunYu would say such thing,
You and the duke’s face changed greatly. You stunned:” How can this be?”
The old duke was angry too. “I’m still alive. You can’t separate.”
Being JinAn duke’s son, but live outside. What would other people think?
ChunFeng also stood up, couldn’t being silent anymore.
LiuLi was his wife and she had done such vicious thing. He could hardly absolve oneself from the blame. He had thought divorce because he couldn’t win her heart. But today, LiuLi cried so hard in front of him and explained again and again. She even harmed herself to express which softened his heart.
He knew that it was hard to get their forgiveness., but he didn’t think it would make them leave. It was his and LiuLi’s falut. If there had someone to leave, it must be him and LiuLi.
“Brother and sister-in-law, I’m ashamed of saying such thing, but LiuLi is my wife, her falut is my falut. I’m so ashamed that I wouldn’t asked for your forgiveness, but I promise LiuLi won’t make such mistake again. Otherwise, I will divorce her to return your justice even take on the crime of deceit.”
The words were loud, sonorous, like a hammer hitting on her heart which made her stand unsteady and drop into chair.
Xia ChunFeng had less say in the family. He listened to his parent, second-elder-brother and LiuLi. This moment, he took the responsibility of being a son, a brother and a husband.
“Of course, only promise is not enough, I will Introspect three days before ancestors according to the family’s rules. LiuLi and I will copy the rules one hundred times. If brother and sister-in-law still can’t cool down, I wouldn’t say anything to be punished by stick or rod.” ChunFeng said.
Ye Jiayao was resigned. ChunFeng loved LiuLi so much that he would take on her fault. But, would this really work? Would LiuLi change? We could know that she had more unwilling than regret from her attitude.
“ChunFeng, I like your attitude. You are brave to take responsibility, like a man. Zhao LiuLi, you marry a great man who will clean up the mass for you. I make things clear today, I forbear because I don’t want ChunFeng and parent to be embarrass, not being afraid of you. But my forbearance made them embarrass at last. This is not my first time to be harmed, but hurt me most.” Ye Jiayao said with cold voice:” I put the words here. No matter I am the family or not, no matter where I am, if you dare to harm me again, I will hundred times return. You are never my opponent on using conspiracy. You can try if you don’t believe.”
Xia Chunyu was so ashamed that the corner of the mouth was convulsing.
