They had already said this. If possible, Qiao Nian really wanted to turn around and leave.

However, she was penniless and had no friends outside. If she left like this, she didn't know where she would go.

What's more, my grandmother is still here.

How could she bear to make her old man worry?

Therefore, no matter how unpleasant the words between Marquis Lin and Lin Ye were, at this moment, she could only listen and endure it.

His eyes fell on the rice bowl placed in the center of the table, and Qiao Nian also understood the crux of the drama.

There were clearly tears shining in her eyes, but she forced them back.

Then he picked up the chopsticks to pick up the fish in the bowl and put it into his mouth.

Lin Ye's sarcastic sneer came from the side, "Are you willing to eat it now? It seems that the title of Miss Hou Mansion is quite attractive!"

Qiao Nian glanced at Lin Ye lightly and ignored his ridicule. She just watched Lord Lin bow slightly and bowed before speaking.

"Master Marquis, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to eat the fish that little Marquis put on my plate. It's just that my body has been damaged by the hard work in the past two years. If I eat these fishy things, I will get a rash on my body and it will be unbearable. So today, it's not just the fish. I have never touched other shrimps and crabs.”

Listening to Qiao Nian's words, Marquis Lin and others were shocked and looked at the plate in front of Qiao Nian.

Indeed, there is not even a bit of shrimp or crab shell.

Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat, but he suddenly thought of something, and said, "If you say that you can't eat today because your stomach has been tortured, I would believe you more, but you clearly liked fish the most in the past, and I also I’ve never seen you get any rash!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Qiao Nian raising his hand.

The sleeves were lifted up, and there were whip marks on his arms, as well as a large area of ​​red rash.

"How could this happen? Call the doctor quickly!" Mrs. Lin said and wanted to come forward.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly coughed.

She coughed violently as if she was choking. Mrs. Lin stopped caring about Qiao Nian and hurriedly called for people to take care of Lin Yuan.

Lin Ye looked at Qiao Nian's arm and panicked for a moment.

He didn't mean it.

He thought that she didn't even give her father's face and deliberately showed her face to them, so she said those hurtful words.

He didn't know how his sister, who once loved fish the most, developed a rash whenever she touched fish.

It was only a small piece of fish meat just now, but now, Qiao Nian even started to have a rash on her face!

Marquis Lin was also a little panicked. He had naturally heard from Mrs. Lin about Qiao Nian's injuries, but seeing it with his own eyes was different.

Coupled with those red rashes, it only made him feel confused and depressed. For a while, he didn't even dare to look at Qiao Nian.

Lin Yuan coughed violently again, so he simply shouted, "What are you doing for food? Why don't you hurry up and help your lady go back to rest!"

With that said, he actually followed the servants to send Lin Yuan away.

Mrs. Lin also left.

The doctor who came in a hurry looked at this situation and thought that he was called because of Lin Yuan, so he also left.

For a moment, only Qiao Nian and Lin Ye were left in the huge hall, looking at each other.

"You..." Lin Ye opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Qiao Nian was also afraid that he would suddenly say some caring words, but she would not know how to respond, so she said, "It's getting late, I'll leave first."

After that, he turned around and left.

Lin Ye stood there in a daze for a while.

An indescribable sourness enveloped him, and an idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Why is this happening again!

In just three days since Qiao Nian came back, he had hit a wall countless times in front of her.

Every time he misunderstood, and then she would explain, and in the end it was like he bullied her!

But, she could have said those words long ago.

Just like just now, if she had said she couldn't eat it when he gave her the fish, how could he have said those hurtful words?

Lin Ye's chest heaved violently, and he wished he could raise his hand to turn over the table full of delicacies!

But in the end, he just walked away.

On the other side, Qiao Nian had just returned to Fanghe Garden and hurriedly asked Ningshuang to get cold water.

Ningshuang didn't know why, so she just followed the instructions and fetched cold water. Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian poured the basin of cold water directly on herself after taking it.

There was a crash, from head to toe.

Ningshuang was shocked, "Miss, what are you doing!" She hurriedly brought a towel and kept wiping Qiao Nian, "You just fell into the water yesterday, why are you ruining yourself like this today!"

Qiao Nian grabbed Ningshuang's hand, smiled and shook her head, "Only in this way can these rashes go away."

This was what Qiao Nian discovered accidentally. At that time, she had a rash all over her body, and a few palace maids pushed her into the laundry pool. When she climbed up, she found that the rash on her body had disappeared.

From then on, whenever she got a rash on her body and itched unbearably, she would pour cold water on her body.

Ningshuang's eyes were red, and she felt relieved when she saw the large blush on Qiao Nian's face receding slightly.

She brought some clean clothes and waited for Qiao Nian to feel ready before helping her change her clothes. She also made ginger soup for Qiao Nian to drink.

Qiao Nian was sitting by the window, covered with a thick cloak, holding the ginger soup Ningshuang had cooked in her hands. Thinking of the words that Marquis Lin and Lin Ye had just said before, chills kept coming out of her heart. .

Even though she had already prepared to live under someone else's roof and knew that they no longer loved her, her heart still couldn't stop aching when she heard those words from her former father and brother.

But what could she do?

All she ate and used now belonged to the Marquis' Mansion. If she left here, what could she do?

What could she do to reassure her grandmother and not hurt her body for her?

At the same time, Zui Xiang Lou.

When Xiao Heng came to the appointment, Lin Ye had already drunk a lot of wine in the private room.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Heng smelled a strong smell of alcohol, and saw Lin Ye lying on a rocking chair not far away, drinking with a wine pot.

He frowned, but his eyes looked towards the other side of the private room.

As if he noticed his actions, Lin Ye smiled coldly, "Don't look for it, there's only me."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng frowned even tighter, thinking that he had clearly agreed with Qiao Nian during the day, and he felt a little unhappy.

She actually dared to break his promise.

"But who are you looking for?" Lin Ye spoke again, his face was stained with strong drunkenness, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, "Is it Yuan'er, or Qiao Nian?"

Qiao Nian?

Xiao Heng heard something from this name, and immediately asked, "Did you quarrel with your sister again?"

"Heh!" Lin Ye sneered, raised the wine pot and drank two mouthfuls, then wiped his mouth and sneered, "How dare I quarrel with her, she is very capable!"

Knowing that he was talking drunkenly at this moment, Xiao Heng did not say anything, just walked to the table and sat down, pouring himself a glass of wine.

The next moment, Lin Ye stood up from the rocking chair, walked behind him, hooked his neck, and said drunkenly, "Xiao Heng, can you marry both of them?"
