Chapter 640 I will spend the rest of my life atonement
His expression became complicated, and he promised to keep the secret of that day deep in his heart, and was even willing to swear to keep it secret.
But Baili Yue interrupted him, and her eyes told him sincerely that she trusted him.
Re-examining the man in front of him, Baili Yue realized that she had misunderstood him in the past because of his coldness.
Now she understood what a loyal and wonderful man he was, but because of that, she felt he deserved better than someone like her.
Seeing Baili Yue treating him so gently, Rong Mingxuan felt a warmth, as if he was in a dream.
He couldn't believe that what he saw was real, and stretched out his hand cautiously, wanting to confirm whether it was a dream.
Baili Yue did not dodge, which made Rong Mingxuan sure that this was not a dream, but a real encounter.
When his fingertips gently touched her cheek, the softness confirmed to him that everything was real.
He immediately retracted his hand, worried that his action was too rash. He was afraid that such intimacy would make Baili Yue feel uneasy or unhappy.
Baili Yue felt touched when she saw Rong Mingxuan retreating.
She whispered his name, feeling how much he cherished and respected her.
Baili Yue shook her head gently, trying to suppress the pain in her heart: "Rong Mingxuan, I know what you mean."
Rong Mingxuan raised his head with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
He thought to himself, was Yue'er coming to see him today to respond to his feelings?
However, her next words were like a bucket of cold water poured on his heart.
"Can you try to forget me?" Baili Yue asked seriously.
Rong Mingxuan was stunned, as if time had stopped at this moment. Her request was like a sharp knife piercing his heart.
"Why? Is it because my feelings bother you?" His voice trembled a little.
"No."
Baili Yue shook her head again, her eyes starting to turn red: "Although I was born a princess, I have become a criminal because of my family's sins. My mother made a mistake and was expelled from the palace, and my brother was convicted of treason."
At this point, her tears blurred her vision and her voice choked: "I am a sinner, I don't deserve your love."
"You should find someone more worthy of your love and forget me." Baili Yue's tears rolled down, leaving tear marks on her cheeks.
Rong Mingxuan felt a sharp pain in his heart: "Yue'er, you are not a sinner, you are the most beautiful person in the world. The mistakes of your mother and brother have nothing to do with you."
He took a step forward, trying to comfort her, but she drew back, keeping her distance, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Stop talking about it. Their mistakes are my mistakes. I will spend the rest of my life atonement for them."
"So, Rong Mingxuan, please forget me. This is good for both of us." Rong Mingxuan clenched his fists, feeling heartbroken.
"Yue'er, you are right."
Rong Mingxuan quickly walked up to her and held her in his arms before she could step back: "None of that is your fault. Don't take the blame for other people's mistakes on yourself."
He held her tightly and stroked her hair tenderly:
"I will never forget you. No matter what you say, I will always love you. In this life, the only person I want to marry is you, Yue'er."
Baili Yue listened to the heartbeat beside her ear, her body trembled slightly, and tears flowed again.
"Don't like me anymore, I really don't deserve it." She whispered.
"Yue'er, no matter what you are going through, I will wait by your side until you are willing to accept my feelings."
Rong Mingxuan's voice was firm and affectionate: "When you are ready, just look back, I'll be here."
"Rong Mingxuan!"
Baili Yue choked up, feeling the low words and warm embrace, her heart gradually sank, longing for this emotion.
Inside the Shen residence, the doctor took Ye Qianyao's pulse and left a prescription for warming the body.
Not long ago, she accidentally fell into the water and almost lost all signs of life, but fortunately she survived miraculously.
Shen Yuming stood aside, frowning. He wanted to find a way to make Ye Qianyao disappear, but he was worried that direct action would expose his cruelty and damage his future in the officialdom.
However, if I let her continue to live, I'm afraid she might say something inappropriate after waking up.
Just as he was worrying about this, a servant knocked on the study door and reported that Ye Qianyao had woken up, but refused to take the medicine and smashed the medicine bowl to pieces.
This news made Shen Yuming even more upset, but he knew that he couldn't let people think that he was not good to his wife.
In order to maintain his perfect image, he had to find a solution.
"Master, if Madam continues like this her condition will only get worse. What should we do?" the servant asked worriedly.
Shen Yuming took a deep breath, trying to calm his anger, and then said coldly: "Go and call Cui'er, she is a maid brought by the Ye family, maybe the lady can trust her."
In the room, Ye Qianyao curled up on the bed, her face as pale as snow, shaking constantly, her coughs mixed with pain.
The maids tried to persuade her to drink the medicine, but she was convinced that it was poison and refused to accept treatment.
After much persuasion failed, the maid decided to taste the medicine herself to prove its safety.
"Madam, look at what I drank. This is indeed not poison."
After saying that, she took a sip carefully and handed it to Ye Qianyao again.
Ye Qianyao stared quietly at the medicine bowl in front of her. The maid was full of anticipation, thinking that she would finally drink the medicine this time.
Just at this moment...
Ye Qianyao pushed away the medicine bowl that was handed to her, and it shattered on the floor.
"How dare you poison me! You all want to kill me, don't you?" she roared, her face distorted.
The maid next to her felt extremely wronged. In order to prove that the medicine was not poisonous, she even tasted it first, but the lady was still suspicious.
The maid slowly squatted down to pick up the broken pieces and accidentally cut her finger, blood oozing out.
"Hiss!" She couldn't help but take a breath.
Seeing the blood, Ye Qianyao became even more terrified, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
"Get out of here! Get out of here!" she screamed.
The scolded maid fled the room in tears.
Outside the door, Shen Yuming witnessed all this, his face became increasingly gloomy, and his hands clenched into fists. If he hadn't been concerned about his reputation, he would have lost his patience with this woman long ago.
"master."
The maid came to Shen Yuming with tears in her eyes: "Madam refused to take the medicine, I have tried my best."
"Go down." Shen Yuming said coldly.
The maid wiped her tears and left in a hurry.
Shen Yuming stared at the door, his heart calm.
Soon, Cui'er dragged her injured body and walked slowly towards them, with sweat on her forehead due to the pain.
"Master." Her voice was weak.
Cui Er was severely punished for letting the lady go without permission. Although her injuries were not healed, she was summoned.
Cui Er knelt on the ground, her forehead touching the cold ground: "Master, I made a mistake because I was confused for a moment. Please forgive me this time. I will never dare to do it again!"
