Gifted Bride of the Sinned Prince

306 Were an ideal brother

Kang Cha Ying asked the personal servant of Kang Huijuan to tell her brother that she wanted to see him. When the servant refused her entry, she asked him to get away from the door. He couldn’t refuse him and stepped aside.

Cha Ying pushed the door and walked in. The personal servant closed the door after she entered the room. She found her brother seated around the floor table, drinking wine.

She chuckled and sat in front of him on the floor chair.

“Do you want to drink too?” Kang Huijuan asked and picked up the wine jar. Cha Ying shook her head and asked him if he would like to explain it to her.

“Explain to you what?” He asked as his eyebrows arched.

“Why did you do this? You were an ideal brother in my eyes. You should have at least thought about me before doing such a thing to Xin Jue. Would you feel good if a man did such a thing to me?” Cha Ying was disappointed in him and snatched the wine jar from his hand.

“Go away,” Kang Huijuan wasn’t ready to talk with his sister. After his defeat to Lóng Wei, he was badly hurt.

“I will not leave until Brother answers me,” she said in a firm tone.

“Don’t be stubborn, Cha Ying. Leave me alone. I am already guilt-stricken because of what happened,” Kang Huijuan asserted.

.....

“Indeed, you should feel guilty for the crime you were going to commit. How could you even try to harm a pregnant woman? You are running away instead of facing the truth and answering me. Did Mother teach you all this? The entire Kang family reputation is ruined because of you,” Cha Ying didn’t refrain from reprimanding her elder brother.

Kang Huijuan was already stressed thinking about how he would get back into the government and his sister was troubling him more.

“I accepted my mistake, Cha Ying. You do not need to remind me,” Kang Huijuan stated. He requested her to leave. Since he loved his sister a lot, he didn’t want to get furious at her.

“Then, did you apologize to Prince Lóng Wei? Did you even ask Xin Jue how she was? How could you put the blame on someone else?” Cha Ying glared at him while controlling her anger.

“Lóng Wei,” Kang Huijuan chuckled after pronouncing his name. “He has already humiliated me so much that I do not need to apologize to him. Now, leave,” he said in a stern tone. Cha Ying knitted her brows and asked him not to do anything wrong anymore.

“Brother, you must apologize for the wrong you did,” Cha Ying stated. “Before your marriage with Xin Jue, go to the palace and apologize to Prince Lóng Wei. If you will not do that, then you aren’t ready to accept your mistake. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself where you were wrong,” she affirmed and stood up.

“I am taking away this wine jar,” Cha Ying said and turned to leave, but she halted, “I will forgive you if you keep Xin Jue happy.”

Cha Ying left his sight. After coming out of the room, she handed the wine jar to the servant and asked him to throw it away. She went right to her room.

Kang Huijuan didn’t like that he fell into the eyes of his sister. However, he still wasn’t ready to accept Xin Jue as his wife. If she had taken the pill to abort the child that he suggested to her, it would not have happened. Xin Jue wanted to marry him at that time, and being a noble man, he didn’t want it to happen.

He slammed his hand on the table before him. He pressed his fingers across his forehead. “You have to accept this fate, Kang Huijuan. Indeed, I did wrong by attempting to kill her. I had lost my mind at that time,” he mumbled. He covered his face with his palms and regretted the day he decided to take Xin Jue’s life.

In Cha Ying’s room, Cha Ying removed the ornamental accessories that she had put on and looked into the mirror.

“Prince Lóng Wei isn’t the type I used to think. He is quite powerful and fearless,” she said and smiled.

She realized that she had smiled, which was strange. She patted her cheeks and wondered if she had fallen for his personality.

“Don’t think this, Cha Ying,” she told herself and closed her eyes for some time. When she found her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.

“I will meet Prince Lóng Wei in the morning. I will apologize for my brother’s mistake. Hopefully, His Highness will forgive him,” she muttered. She got up from the stool and came to the bed.

“The Crown Prince has rejected me. I wish I had not humiliated him that day. I must meet the Crown Prince in the morning too.” She decided before pulling up the quilt. She had already blown off the candle, but she wasn’t able to sleep.

Today’s events shook her. Her parents, especially her mother, were numb to find the actions of her son. Kang Huijuan would have been banished if Lóng Wei had not intervened. Her father’s head bowed for the first time in shame. She wanted to make everything alright. But the dignity they had lost would not either return easily. People would look at them with shame. The servants in their own residence were leaving by giving excuses.

Cha Ying sat up on the bed and took a deep sigh. Usually, at this hour, everyone would fall asleep earlier. But today, no one slept in the Kang residence. Years passed to build the reputation of the Kang family, but Kang Huijuan destroyed everything in merely minutes.

Cha Ying felt guilty for standing for her brother, putting her faith in him. She was hurt badly by her brother’s actions, and she truly hoped that he would not do anything wrong to Xin Jue anymore.
