Chapter 275: An Apology

Translator: Vesper

Thinking of how the two of them treated them and the disparity between sisters, Wei Ke Xin’s gaze became colder.

Minister Wei never imagined that his daughter would say such things about them.

While enraged, he raised his hand and slapped Wei Ke Xin’s face.

Her beautiful face became red and swollen, there was also a visible palm print on her face.

Minister Wei’s hand trembled as he looked at Wei Ke Xin who lowered her head and covered her face. He wanted to say something but his throat seemed to be dry. He was feeling very upset.

Wei Ke Xin stood up, turned around and left without giving Minister Wei the chance to talk.

Minister Wei lowered his head and looked at his hand. There was helplessness written all over his face, why did he do that?

Wei Ke Xin returned to her own courtyard and chased out all her servants. She had a gloomy expression on her face.

She had nothing more to say since they did not care about her.

The minister’s wife did not see her eldest daughter when she returned: “Zi Xin has agreed to follow you to the General’s Residence.”

”That’s good, you go check on Ke Xin,” Minister Wei said helplessly.

”What’s wrong?”

”I slapped her, she might be feeling upset. She feels we treat Zi Xin better than her,” They did not understand why their eldest daughter would have such thoughts, they were so strict to her because they had high expectations towards her.

”You...... I think you are muddled, Ke Xin had always felt we favored Zi Xin. Now that you’ve hit her, you really are muddleheaded,” Minister Wei’s wife was instantly enraged when she heard Minister Wei had slapped their eldest daughter.

Minister Wei had long regretted it, he found it shameful being reprimanded by her: “Alright, go check on her.”

”Check on her yourself, I’m not going,” Madam Wei grunted and left.

Minister Wei was angry but was unable to retort, he could only remain alone over there.

After Minister Wei remained quiet for a while, he sent someone to prepare the gift. In the afternoon, he brought Wei Zi Xin to the Great General’s Residence.

”Boss, Old Man Wei had brought his daughter over,” Lei An walked in and said with a faint smile.

Offending their sister-in-law on the streets in the morning and appearing here right now, there was no need to question why.

Ning Meng Yao narrowed her eyes: “Who’s that?”

”The person who clashed with you on the streets,” Qiao Tian Chang explained softly.

Ning Meng Yao lifted her eyebrows as she looked at Qiao Tian Chang and asked while feeling surprised: “Why are they here?”

”I guess they’re here to apologize,” Qiao Tian Chang said in a casual manner.

”Huh? What is their family’s identity? Why are they here to apologize?” Ning Meng Yao was feeling curious, based on that woman’s identity, there was no need for her to apologize to them.

”Right Minister, they’re here to apologize because Qi Tian was present. They’re worried he’ll snitch them to our Emperor. Their eldest daughter is about to enter the palace, she was originally a candidate to be the Empress, but I’m afraid she is no longer fated to be the Empress after that incident,” Qiao Tian Chang’s gaze was filled with ridicule.

Ning Meng Yao understood and nodded: “So that’s how it is.”

”Should we meet them?” Qiao Tian Chang smiled and looked at Ning Meng Yao as he asked affectionately.

”Let’s meet them.”

Qiao Tian Chang sent Lei An to invite them in.

After entering, Wei Zi Xin’s expression was filled with disdain, but she was stunned when she saw Qiao Tian Chang.

Before Qiao Tian Chang and Nine Meng Yao opened their mouths, Wei Zi Xin’s eyes were shining as she pointed at Qiao Tian Chang and said to Minister Wei beside her: “Father, I want to marry him.”

The corners of Ning Meng Yao’s mouth twitched slightly, she turned her head and looked at Qiao Tian Chang: “Tian Chang, is the upbringing in the Minister’s Residence like this? It’s really an eye-opener.”

”It’s indeed an eye-opener, I’ve never even encountered a woman in White Mountain Village acting like this, it’s like she’s never seen a man before,” Qiao Tian Chang looked at Wei Zi Xin with contempt.

Minister Wei’s face became red due to Wei Zi Xin’s words. It was as ugly as it could get.

”Zi Xin, quiet,” Minister Wei gritted his face with a gloomy expression.

Wei Zi Xin grunted and she stopped talking while feeling dissatisfied, however, she would shoot a glance at Ning Meng Yao from time to time.

She had never imagined that the Great General would be so handsome and gentle.
