Chapter 135: You Don't Know You're Wrong, You Just Know You're Going to Die
Listening to Meng Shenji's concern for Sun Yu in his words, Xue Qinghe nodded heavily.
"I understand that. Sun Yu's talent is something I've never seen in my life. Since I let him come, I naturally won't let him suffer any unjust accusations."
Listening to Xue Qinghe's words, Meng Shenji's face showed a look of relief.
Prince Xue Xing, who also heard this, looked even more gloomy.
As for Xue Beng, who had been hiding behind Prince Xue Xing.
Since Xue Qinghe's arrival, Xue Beng, who had been fearing Xue Qinghe's deterrence, didn't even dare to show his face casually.
He could only tremble and hide behind Prince Xue Xing.
His hands tightly gripped Prince Xue Xing's coattails.
As if that was the only way to give him a sense of security.
After briefly comforting the three Commissioners, Xue Qinghe turned to face Xue Xing, a gentle smile on his face as he spoke.
"Uncle Xue Xing, I heard about this matter from Chief Meng Shenji yesterday. In my opinion, this matter was entirely Xue Beng and his group provoking Sun Yu first. Sun Yu was merely forced to resist and accidentally injured them.
Uncle Xue Xing, I know you care about little brother Xue Beng, but if Xue Beng's profligate nature isn't properly disciplined, he will be useless in the future except for disgracing the Empire!"
Listening to Xue Qinghe's words, which, though gentle, were filled with a serious tone.
Prince Xue Xing said with an extremely displeased expression.
"Qinghe, Xue Beng is your younger brother after all. Are you willing to punish your own brother for an outsider?! Is that how an older brother should act?!"
Hearing this, Xue Qinghe shook his head and said.
"Uncle, I deal with matters, not people. If the same thing happened and Xue Beng was bullied, I would naturally stand up for him. But unfortunately, that's not the case..."
Listening to Xue Qinghe's words, the expression on Prince Xue Xing's face couldn't help but become even more aggrieved and displeased.
Finally, looking at the current situation on the scene.
Prince Xue Xing could only choose to concede.
"Hmph, since you're standing up for him, then this matter ends here. Xue Beng, let's go..."
Xue Xing spoke to Xue Beng behind him.
"Okay, Uncle.."
Hearing Xue Xing call him, Xue Beng immediately said with a terrified expression.
"Wait...."
Just as Xue Xing was about to leave angrily with Xue Beng.
Xue Qinghe spoke again to stop them.
"What, Qinghe, is there something else?"
Prince Xue Xing turned to look at Xue Qinghe with a displeased expression.
"Xue Beng, yesterday was your fault. Apologize to my retainer, Sun Yu!!"
Ignoring Prince Xue Xing's resentment, Xue Qinghe spoke calmly.
Hearing this, Prince Xue Xing couldn't bear it anymore.
"Bastard, Qinghe, what do you mean by this? Xue Beng is a noble Prince. How can he admit fault to a commoner?! This matter ending here is already my bottom line, Qinghe, don't go too far!"
Although Prince Xue Xing's tone was full of anger, Xue Qinghe completely disregarded Xue Xing's anger and continued to stare at Xue Beng with his calm eyes.
Xue Beng trembled all over, his face full of fear, under Xue Qinghe's indifferent gaze.
Finally, to Prince Xue Xing's astonished gaze.
He quickly came before Sun Yu.
And bowed to Sun Yu, apologizing.
"I'm sorry, Big Brother Sun Yu, yesterday was my fault. Please forgive me.... Please forgive my ignorance and recklessness!!"
"Xue Beng, you....."
Xue Xing saw that Xue Beng was so spineless, just being scared by Xue Qinghe and immediately running to apologize to Sun Yu, scared out of his wits.
This made Xue Xing feel quite despairing and uncomfortable inside.
After all, this showed how much Xue Beng feared Xue Qinghe.
Even with him protecting him, Xue Beng still had a deep-seated fear of Xue Qinghe.
On Sun Yu's side, he looked at Xue Beng, who was currently trembling and bowing before him, his expression devoid of joy or sorrow.
After glancing at Xue Qinghe, he waved his hand and said.
"Everything will proceed according to the Crown Prince's instructions!"
Hearing this, everyone present's expressions subtly changed.
Ning Fengzhi and the others also looked at Sun Yu with an interesting expression.
Sun Yu's words were very clear; he didn't directly express forgiveness for Xue Beng.
Instead, he said he would follow the Crown Prince's instructions.
In other words, Sun Yu was not going to dwell on this matter with Xue Beng out of respect for the Crown Prince, not because he truly forgave Xue Beng.
Even though he suffered no harm in this incident.
"Bastard, you commoner! Prince Xue Beng personally bowed and apologized to you, and you still don't appreciate it? This is outrageous, outrageous! Guards, seize him and throw him into the dungeon to await punishment!"
Prince Xue Xing naturally also saw this point and immediately roared with a furious expression.
However, in response to his roar, Sun Yu merely shrugged and said.
"Why should I accept his apology? His apology was not sincere to begin with. Since he's not sincere, why should I accept it?
The reason he is willing to apologize to me is because he knows he will be punished by the Crown Prince if he doesn't apologize, not because he genuinely wants to apologize to me. Don't look at him apologizing to me now; he might still be plotting how to kill me in his heart..."
Listening to Sun Yu's words, Prince Xue Xing was so angry that his teeth itched.
He wished he could dismember Sun Yu on the spot right now!!
But he couldn't. Setting aside the difference in strength for now, even though Sun Yu had spoken so unrestrainedly.
However, Xue Qinghe still maintained a protective stance.
Looking at Xue Qinghe's appearance, Prince Xue Xing knew that they had lost terribly today...
They had no choice but to grit their teeth and swallow this anger.
Therefore, after realizing this, Prince Xue Xing gritted his teeth, helped Xue Beng up, and looked directly at Xue Qinghe, saying.
"Qinghe, I will report today's matter to His Majesty in its entirety. You'd best watch yourself..."
After speaking, Prince Xue Xing left with Xue Beng.
As for Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, who came with Prince Xue Xing, they did not leave.
Instead, they remained where they were.
Xue Qinghe looked at Xue Xing's departing back, his expression still calm.
He showed no emotional fluctuations whatsoever because of Xue Xing's threat to report to His Majesty.
After seeing Prince Xue Xing off, Xue Qinghe then patted Sun Yu heavily on the shoulder and chuckled.
"You rascal, you finally came. I thought you stood me up..."
Seeing someone come to help him share the pressure of being an undercover agent, Xue Qinghe also felt a surge of heartfelt joy.
Looking at the joyful Xue Qinghe, Sun Yu smiled faintly.
"How dare I stand you up? You are the esteemed Crown Prince...."
