Chapter 125 Defending Him
Chapter 125 Defending Him
Yuan Qingling had no choice but to force herself to face Princess Luoping.
Princess Luoping gave her a stern look. "I heard you you're here to treat Wehuai's disease. Other
people may have no idea of how little you're capable of, but I know it clearly. I still haven't taken it up
with you for what you did in my house yet. How dare you swagger and swindle in Wenhuai's Residence
now?"
Yuan Qingling understood Princess Luoping's anger.
It was supposed to be a decent night when she invited her friends and families to celebrate her
birthday. She served them a feast and even hired a theater troupe; however, she never thought the
troupe she invited were way less skilled than the father and daughter in Lord Yuan's Mansion.
That had not only humiliated her but also disgraced the whole royal family. Even worse, she was used
to do dirty business, which had done great damage to her reputation.
As one of the main culprits behind the incident, Yuan Qingling couldn't be as confident as she was
before Princess Ji just now. She drooped her eyelashes and practiced what she had just learned from
Chu Mingcui. Delicate and touching, she said softly, "It's the order from Father."
"Is that supposed to scare me?" Said Princess Luoping as she raised her eyebrows and glared.
"I wouldn't dare!" Yuan Qingling hurriedly waved her hand and pretended to flinch. "Actually, I don't
know why Father would make such a will, either."
All Princess Luoping wanted was to vent her anger; however, seeing Yuan Qingling's sad face now,
Luoping found it hard to take it out on her.
But obviously, Princess Ji didn't intend to stand by and watch; she triggered the confrontation for
Princess Luoping again.
Princess Ji stepped forward with a smile and said with a consoling face, "Princess Chu, you can tell
Princess Luoping about your treatment of the disease. You scolded Ms. Lu and me for not knowing the
rules of medical treatment, but I'm sure Princess Luoping will understand. Why don't you tell her about
it? It may solve her doubts."
Yuan Qingling glanced at Princess Ji, wondering why the troublesome woman had to babble wherever
she was.
Hearing Yuan Qingling dare to criticize Ms. Lu and Ji, Princess Luoping sneered, "How domineering!
Just because you get the order from Father doesn't mean you can ignore the royal hierarchy! Who do
you think you are to criticize Ms. Lu and Princess Ji? You despicable mean b*tch, do you even
remember how you became a princess? Maybe I should tell everyone the dirty laundry you had in my
house? I've met lots of people in my life, but none of them could compete with you in being shameless.
Your marriage with Wenhao is a tremendous disgrace to the royal family!"
Princess Luoping had held a grudge against Yuan Qingling for a whole year. Today, she took the
opportunity and vented it out. Now she felt pretty relieved.
Yuan Qingling also felt relieved because holding the grudge would only make it accumulate.
When she scolded and took it out, the resentment would dissipate, which meant the person would be
calmer.
She stood properly and bowed slightly to Princess Luoping. "Your Highness, I apologize to you for what
happened in your residence a year ago. I made a mistake that I felt ashamed of every time I recall. I
made mistakes repeatedly, which made me feel hard to forgive myself. Moreover, my selfish thoughts
have caught up with Wenhao. During the last year, her reputation was ruined, and Father was
extremely disappointed in him. Today, I'm apologizing to you before everyone. I'll apologize to Wenhao
later, too."
She doesn't care about her own reputation, but Yu Wenhao had indeed been poorly affected. She
claimed the credit for her mistake in public today to clear Wenhao's name. This way, she hoped he
could stop complaining about how much she owed him all the time for this.
As for whether other people will ridicule her, she couldn't care less. Everyone knew about it; they had
chosen not to say it out.
Princess Luoping was speechless.
She scolded Yuan Qingling very badly just now. Given Yuan Qingling's current position, she could
argue or pretend to be wronged. Now that she had admitted her mistake so forthrightly, Princess Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Luoping really had no idea what to say next.
Princess Ji also grinned a wry smile and couldn't say a word.
In the end, Princess Luoping could only say softly, "It's nice to see you've acknowledged your
mistakes."
Other people looked at Yuan Qingling. Their eyes were no longer as contemptuous as before.
Sometimes things turned out to be weird. People around you appeared surly and sarcastic when they
speculated about you.
However, when you really admitted your mistake and apologized for it, people would think you're
generous and courageous. After all, it was nice for a person to correct his mistake.
Ms. Lu was the most touched one.
Yuan Qingling was going to be humiliated, but she got everyone's forgiveness subtly in the end.
It's the forgiveness with which she could start a new life.
Chu Mingcui stood nearby and listened to their conversation quietly.
There was no expression on her face, but huge emotional waves were surging deep in her thoughts.
Yuan Qingling seemed way more complicated than she looked.
From now on, no one would despise her again in Prince Huai's Residence.
Yu Wenhao went back to the government office after the kiss.
He had been reminiscing about the kiss all along the way there. Every time it crossed in his mind, his
body, and even his bones, turned limp.
He thought that just thinking of the kiss would make today satisfying enough.
However, the government office had a very busy day.
He dealt with quite a lot of things and spent quite a while on cases, which made his eyes tired and
scalp tingling. As soon as he closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead to get some rest, the scene in
his residence this morning crossed his mind again.
Mind agitated and heartbeat accelerating, he indulged in fantasy.
"My Lord..."
He opened his eyes abruptly, pounded on the desk, and yelled at the comer, "What's wrong with you?
Can you leave me at least a moment of peace?"
Fucheng took a step back in fear and glanced at Xu Yi who was standing aside, wondering who had
pissed Yu Wenhao off.
Xu Yi was also at a loss. He had been sleeping standing up with his eyes closed just now. He really
had no idea what had happened.
Yu Wenhao scolded as he calmed himself down. Then he glared at the Fucheng and asked, "What is
it? Just say it!"
Fucheng's face was saggy, which was had a great contrast with Yuan Qingling's. Her face felt soft and
bouncy when pinched softly.
Fucheng reported, "There was a murder in Zuique Street. Three out of four died in the family... it was a
barely one-year-old baby... My Lord, is that a smile?"
Fucheng looked at Yu Wenhao in horror. He was smiling, brows and eyes rising. The whole family was
almost all butchered, and Yu Wenhao was smiling.
"I'm smiling?" Yu Wenhao touched his face to make sure. "No, I'm not. Who said that?"
Xu Yi retorted, "Yes, you are. That's outrageous! What a brutal murder! And you're smiling at it? I think I
just heard you giggling!"
Yu Wenhao gave Xu Yi a cold look. "What do you know? You've been with me for so many years, don't
you know that I laugh when I'm distraught?"
"Are you?" Xu Yi looked at him and felt puzzled.
Yu Wenhao looked at Fucheng and asked, "Did you investigate the crime scene? What did you find?"
