Chapter 766: I Don’t Expect You to Forgive Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Pinggang glared at the coachman, who was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
He trembled for a moment before suddenly kneeling on the ground. “T-This old slave only saw how beautiful the tile was. I held it in my hand and looked at it a few more times. I really didn’t know that it could have such an effect… I’m ashamed!”
After he finished speaking, he rushed toward the stone block beside him. With a thud, his head was bleeding, and he fell to the ground.
If he told the truth, he and his family would have died.
If he had not told the truth, even if he had died, it would have been an accident. Even if the second young lady wanted revenge, they would not have beaten his family to death when she returned. At most, she would have sold them… At least he would have kept his life.
Xie Pinggang frowned.
Dong Yiyun, on the other hand, was trembling in shock.
If someone had really instructed him, who else could it be other than her sister?
However, on the way out, the coachman had been well-behaved until he met Xie Pinggang…
It was as if a string had suddenly connected in Dong Yiyun’s mind, and she came to a realization.
That sister of hers probably intended for her to marry into the Xie family! But why? Dong Yiyun thought about it for a long time, but in the end, she could only think of the Fourth Prince.
Recently, she had not done anything else but met with the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince seemed to be dissatisfied with his eldest sister, but since they were engaged and it was inappropriate for him to ignore Dong Xiyun, he invited her over to have a chat and ask about her sister’s habits and likings. He also intended to forgive her.
Could it be… that she had been misunderstood by her eldest sister?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it was.
Just like Yuan Lingyin before. As Yuan Lingyin was the Fourth Prince’s side concubine, she was going to be harmed by her!
Xie Pinggang went to test the old man’s breathing, then pursed his lips. “Well, he died quite quickly. He’s lucky that I didn’t catch him and take him to the criminal division to interrogate him.”
After saying that, he saw that Dong Yiyun was in a daze, so he said, “Think about it yourself. If you need me, I’ll go to your house tomorrow to propose marriage. If that’s unnecessary, then forget it.”
He did not care.
Dong Yiyun glanced at him, but she hurriedly nodded. “I’ll do it, Brother Xie”
When she went back… she would explain it clearly to her eldest sister. Will she be able to live in peace by then? Will she be able to survive the three-day calamity?
Xie Pinggang looked casual. He summoned someone from the criminal division and asked them to send Dong Yiyun home.
He went back to the criminal division to retrieve a new outer garment and immediately went to run some errands.
This young lady was really a hindrance.
…
Dong Yiyun went home nervously and immediately went to look for Dong Xiyun.
She had resentment in her heart, but she could not bear to do it to her sister. She gritted her teeth and told her everything clearly about the Fourth Prince looking for her that day.
When Dong Xiyun heard that, she was half-convinced and half-doubtful.
After thinking about it, she still believed it.
This silly sister of hers was still rather foolish. She should not have made up a lie to deceive her.
“Sister… I-I don’t know what’s wrong with me. When I think of someone trying to steal the Fourth Prince from me, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart. My body didn’t listen to my head… I know that I’ve let you down. I’ve actually wronged you… Sister, I don’t expect you to forgive me…” Dong Xiyun knelt on the ground at that moment.
Her voice was sorrowful, and she looked extremely sincere.
Dong Yiyun had very complicated feelings. This was her eldest sister. She had liked this sister since she was young, because her sister was always very capable. She knew a lot, and was proficient in the four arts…
In the past, she had always regarded her sister as her role model!
Now, she hated her secretly, but she could not force her sister to die.
“Then… Eldest Sister, you should hold back in the future. The Fourth Prince cares about you very much. You should live a good life with him in the future. Don’t do such things again. Moreover, he is a prince.. In the future, he will have to take side concubines. If you continue to be so stubborn, you will only hurt yourself, right?”
