Chapter 300 No sympathy
Seeing that the prince was indifferent, Li Yutong immediately looked at Prince An again, "Prince, please don't let Brother Ziyu drive Yutong away. Yutong really knows that she is wrong."
In fact, Prince An never expected that a girl who looked so kind and innocent would do such a thing that could harm someone's life.
But after all, this child grew up under his nose, and Prince An still felt a little reluctant to kick him out.
He pleaded, "Zi Yu, Yu Tong is still young, it is inevitable that she will make mistakes. Please give her another chance for the sake of her father."
The prince was firm in his attitude. "Father, it is precisely because she is the daughter of Lieutenant General Li that she should be as upright and honest as her father. But now she is selfish and has made a big mistake. If she is not punished, she will only get worse in the future."
Prince An wanted to say more, but the Crown Prince interrupted him immediately, "Father, you don't need to say anything more. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. If someone else dared to murder Huan'er today, I'm afraid they would have been beheaded long ago. Just kicking her out of the house is already the most righteous thing to do."
Prince An sighed. With things coming to this point, he was the one who had the most headaches.
Even Prince An’s words were of no use, Li Yutong was really panicked now.
She knelt down and grabbed the hem of the prince's clothes, and said pitifully, "Brother Ziyu, I really know I was wrong. As long as you don't drive me away, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and never hurt anyone again. Please give me another chance."
Wang Kai, who was standing by, felt so distressed that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the prince. "Prince, if you want to punish me, please punish me. Miss Yutong lost her parents when she was young. If you drive her out, it will be difficult for her to live outside. Please have mercy on me, prince."
The prince said indifferently, "You still have the nerve to plead for her? As the captain of my father's personal guard, when did you need to take orders from a girl?"
Wang Kai knew he had done something wrong. He lowered his head in shame and said, "I am ashamed of the cultivation of the prince and the prince. You can kill me or chop me up, I will do whatever you want. I only ask you to spare Miss Yutong this time."
Li Yutong didn't expect that Wang Kai, who was in a difficult situation himself, would still plead for her. She felt really guilty.
The prince said to Wang Kai, "Today, I will dismiss you from your position as captain of the personal guard and demote you to an ordinary personal guard. In addition, you will receive fifty military sticks as a punishment."
Seeing that Wang Kai was implicated because of her, Li Yutong finally stopped being silent, "Brother Ziyu, this matter is all Yutong's fault. Wang Kai was just following my orders. Please be lenient with him."
Wang Kai knew that he was being punished like this because the prince had shown him special favor, and he was already satisfied that Li Yutong stood up and spoke for him.
He said to Li Yutong, "Miss, you don't have to blame yourself. I brought this upon myself. It has nothing to do with anyone else."
Then he turned to the prince and said, "I thank you for not killing me. I will be careful with my words in the future and wait for your orders."
After saying these words, Wang Kai went downstairs to receive the punishment without looking back.
Prince An couldn't help but plead, "Yu'er, for your father's sake, please give Yutong another chance."
The prince knew that his father couldn't bear it, and since Li Yutong had just stood up to take responsibility for her mistake and pleaded for Wang Kai, it was clear that her conscience was not completely gone, so he backed off a little.
"Hua'er is the biggest victim in this matter. If you really don't want to be kicked out of the mansion, go and sincerely repent to Huan'er. In the end, how to deal with you is entirely up to Huan'er."
Li Yutong didn't expect that the prince would hand her over to County Lord Jingrou for disposal. As County Lord Jingrou's love rival, Li Yutong didn't think that she would let her have a good ending.
But things had developed to this point, and Li Yutong had no other way out. She had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree, "Thank you, Brother Ziyu, for giving me this opportunity. I will sincerely repent to County Lady Jingrou and beg for her forgiveness."
When Li Yutong came to find Qianhuan, Qianhuan was busy in her soy sauce shop. She didn't expect that Miss Li from Prince An's Mansion would come to see her, so she quickly invited her into a tea room for guests.
As soon as they entered the tea room, Qianhuan asked Yinhua to make tea. Unexpectedly, Li Yutong knelt down in front of Qianhuan and said, "Miss Qianhuan, Yutong is sorry for you. I came to you today to apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness."
Qianhuan was confused by her actions. She quickly reached out her hand to help her up. "Ms. Li, if you have anything to say, please get up first."
Li Yutong shook her head and said, "No, Miss Qianhuan, Yutong will not get up until you forgive her."
Seeing her firm attitude, Qianhuan simply stopped trying to pull her aside. "In that case, Miss Li, please tell me what you have done to offend me."
Then Li Yutong told the prince about what she had done and how he wanted to kick her out of the house.
"Miss Qianhuan, I know it was wrong of me to want to harm you before. I know I was wrong now. You have already got Brother Ziyu, and you will become the Crown Prince's Consort in the future. I beg you to forgive me this time. I promise that I will never provoke you again. I just hope you can say a good word for me and don't let Brother Ziyu drive me out."
Qianhuan didn't expect that after being captured by the assassin that time, Li Yutong would actually do such a thing.
No wonder I didn't have a good impression of Miss Li when I first met her in Prince An's Mansion. It turned out that she had always harbored evil intentions and wanted to get rid of me.
Qianhuan is not the Virgin Mary. Why should she forgive someone who is obsessed with killing her?
"I'm sorry, Miss Li, I really can't forgive you. People only have one life. If I hadn't met Commander Qian and he rescued me in time, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded by now. So, please go back."
Li Yutong's face was full of disbelief, she had not expected Qianhuan to reject her so bluntly. She thought that as the future Crown Prince's Consort, Qianhuan would have to show her magnanimity and kindness in order to gain a good reputation.
She squeezed out two tears and pretended to be pitiful and said, "Miss Qianhua, I have already apologized to you so humbly, what do you want in exchange for letting me go? Do you have to watch me walking around on the streets to feel satisfied?"
Qianhuan just found it a little funny. It was obviously she who harmed others first, but now she asked herself what she wanted. If Li Yutong could really realize the mistake she made and sincerely mend her ways, she might ask the prince to give her a lighter sentence. But the way she looked, it was clear that she was not truly repentant.
"Ms. Li, you probably don't know my character. I have no sympathy for anyone who wants to harm me. Your pitiful appearance may work on other men, but it has no effect on me."
