This sudden proposal made Xiao Heng's heart move slightly.

But before he could say anything, Lin Ye's fist had already come up.

Fortunately, Xiao Heng reacted quickly and dodged the punch.

Lin Ye missed the punch and fell on the table, and the exquisite dishes fell to the ground.

But he grabbed a handful of dishes and threw them at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng stepped back suddenly and barely dodged it, with a bit of displeasure between his eyebrows, "What are you crazy about?"

He deliberately didn't say the word "crazy because of alcohol", because Lin Ye in the past would not be like this even if he was drunk.

Today, Lin Ye clearly had something in his heart.

Lin Ye stood up, and his luxurious clothes were already stained with many stains.

He didn't notice anything, just raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Heng, "I warn you, if you dare to do something wrong to Yuan'er, don't blame me for turning my face against you!"

Xiao Heng's eyebrows were very cold. He brushed the collar on his chest and sneered, "Brother Lin seems to have said the same thing before."

But at that time, he didn't say Yuan'er, but Nian Nian.

Lin Ye's heart choked, but he quickly reacted, "But now it is Yuan'er who is engaged to you, Xiao Heng, you can't be too greedy."

"Brother Lin is talking, Xiao has never said anything." Xiao Heng said lightly and sat aside.

Lin Ye sneered, "You and I have been brothers for so many years, even if you don't say it, I know what you are thinking. You specially gave her the cakes that Nian Nian didn't take that day. Ha, but you know how? She asked someone to send the cakes to Yuan'er's yard when she returned to the mansion. Xiao Heng, Nian Nian has no thoughts about you anymore, don't be crazy and pester her!"

Petition her?

Xiao Heng thought, it was she who had been pestering him all the time.

Why, now you don't want to pester her anymore?

He didn't say anything, just picked up a glass of wine and drank it lightly.

And Lin Ye also sat down beside Xiao Heng, took two sips from the wine pot, but the scars and rashes on Qiao Nian's arm could not be shaken off in his mind.

There were laughter and joy from the private rooms next door from time to time, but the largest private room was terribly quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a sudden explosion outside, and then the whole Zui Xiang Lou exploded.

Everyone was cheering, looking at the gorgeous flowers in the sky one after another.

Xiao Heng and Lin Ye also looked outside, and in a trance, they seemed to see a charming figure leaning against the window and waving at them constantly. That bright smile and flamboyant personality were no less than those dazzling fireworks...

Zui Xiang Lou's fireworks banquet this year seemed to be particularly grand.

The explosions startled half of the capital.

Qiao Nian sat on the bed and soaked her feet, holding the hand warmer that Ning Shuang had forced on her.

The screams of the maids and the explosions of fireworks outside the house came one after another.

But her eyes were always fixed on her toes.

Ning Shuang came in with ginger soup, with a festive look on her face, "Miss, the fireworks outside are so beautiful, drink this bowl of ginger soup, and let's go watch it together!"

Qiao Nian took the ginger soup and drank it all, but shook her head, "No, I don't like watching fireworks."

Don't like it?

Ning Shuang was stunned.

But she clearly remembered that in previous years, the happiest thing for the young lady was to follow the young marquis to watch the fireworks.

Thinking about what happened to the young lady in the mansion these days, Ningshuang finally couldn't help asking, "Young lady, are you hurt by the young marquis? Don't be like this, the young marquis actually..."

"It has nothing to do with the young marquis." Qiao Nian interrupted Ningshuang's words in time, raised her eyes and smiled at Ningshuang, "I just don't like it."

Of course, she used to like it very much.

Who wouldn't like such a beautiful thing?

But on the first night of the New Year's Eve in the laundry bureau, when she was soaking wet and locked outside the door by the palace maids, the fireworks exploding in the sky were not beautiful at all.

They just clearly illuminated all her embarrassment and unbearableness.

Fifteen years of embarrassment and unbearableness.

Since then, Qiao Nian no longer likes fireworks.

Ningshuang didn't say anything, just stood quietly beside Qiao Nian.

The fireworks outside the window were still gorgeous, and the cheers of the maids were still loud.

But this year was still lonely.

The next day, the first day of the first lunar month.

Qiao Nian got up early in the morning to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady, but as soon as she reached the gate of the old lady's courtyard, she saw several maids running out in a hurry.

Each of them looked very anxious.

Qiao Nian was startled, and an ominous premonition came over her, so that her steps were a little weak.

She hurried to the door of the old lady's room and saw Su Ma standing outside the old lady's door.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Su Ma hurriedly bowed, and before Qiao Nian could speak, she said, "The old lady is sick, I'm afraid she can't see the young lady today."

In an instant, Qiao Nian felt tears rushing to her eyes, and she opened her mouth with trembling lips, "What's the situation?"

"I have sent someone to call the court doctor." Su Ma answered truthfully.

As for the situation, we have to wait for the court doctor to come.

Not long after, the court doctor hurried over, followed by Lord Lin, Madam Lin, and even the still sick Lin Yuan.

It was not until half an hour later that the court doctor came out of the old lady's room.

"How is it?" Lord Lin was the first to greet him, looking anxious.

The court doctor bowed to Lord Lin and then said, "Lord, I told you about the old lady's condition some time ago."

The words were not explained, but Lord Lin's face was instantly dampened.

Madam Lin ordered the court doctor to be sent away, and Qiao Nian could not help asking, "Is grandma's condition very bad?"

Hearing this, Lord Lin sat aside dejectedly without saying anything, and Madam Lin also sighed, and then said, "The court doctor said that your grandma is old and her health will get worse day by day. I'm afraid..."

Madam Lin did not say the rest of the words.

But Qiao Nian could guess what it was without saying it.

On the side, Lord Lin also said in a low voice, "The Queen Mother agreed to let you come back because of your grandma's health."

Even though the voice was suppressed, some tears could be heard.

So much so that Qiao Nian's eyes turned red in an instant.

Lin Yuan was the first to shed tears, "Dad, Mom, why don't we ask the imperial doctor in the palace to come and see?"

Hearing this, Lord Lin and Madam Lin did not speak.

But Qiao Nian knew that the doctor of the Marquis's mansion came from Yaowang Valley. He was accidentally saved by the Marquis and became the doctor of the Marquis's mansion.

His medical skills are better than those of the imperial doctors in the palace.

The old lady was still in a coma, so naturally she didn't become the doctor this year.

Qiao Nian originally wanted to wait outside the old lady's door, but Marquis Lin insisted on watching over the old lady, so Qiao Nian had to leave first.

It wasn't long after returning to her Fanghe Garden that Ningshuang came to report, "Miss, the lady came to see you."
