After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

Come to see her at this time?

I'm afraid it's more than just a visit, right?

Qiao Nian stood up to greet her, and when she saw Madam Lin, she bowed and said, "Hello, Madam."

Seeing that Qiao Nian still had no intention of calling her mother, Madam Lin felt a little sad.

But she didn't want to show it in front of Qiao Nian, so she went forward and took Qiao Nian's hand intimately, and sat down aside, "Mother is afraid that you are too sad, so I came to see you."

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and said nothing.

She just quietly withdrew her hand.

Madam Lin noticed it, and her eyebrows twisted slightly, then she sighed secretly and said, "In fact, your grandmother loves you the most. Even though she knows that you are not a biological child of the Lin family, in her heart, you are also her most beloved and pampered granddaughter."

Qiao Nian admitted this.

She can tell who is good to her and sincere to her.

Grandmother was clearly in such a bad condition, but she still thought of asking the Queen to let her leave the palace. Just for this, Qiao Nian will never be able to repay this favor in her lifetime.

Her eyes trembled slightly, but she tried not to let Madam Lin see the tears in her eyes.

But Madam Lin had been Qiao Nian's mother for fifteen years, how could she not see how sad Qiao Nian was at this moment?

She sighed softly, and then spoke, "Just now in front of your father, I didn't dare to say more, but I'm not afraid to tell you honestly that your grandmother, I'm afraid she won't last more than a few months."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian raised her head suddenly, and the tears that she had been holding back fell at this moment.

She had just returned for a few days and had not spent enough time with her grandmother. How could her grandmother...

Mrs. Lin felt very distressed and took out a handkerchief to wipe away Qiao Nian's tears. "Mother knows that you love your grandmother the most, but now we can't do anything. The only thing we can do is to let your grandmother rest assured, right?"

Hearing the implication of Mrs. Lin's words, Qiao Nian sniffed and replied, "Madam, just say whatever you want to say."

With just one sentence, the relationship between the two became extremely distant.

Mrs. Lin paused as she wanted to wipe Qiao Nian's tears, and finally had to withdraw it in dismay.

Then, she sighed deeply, "You may think that I, as a mother, am heartless if I say this at this time, but what I am going to say next is what your grandmother wants to say the most."

At this point, Mrs. Lin looked at Qiao Nian and said earnestly, "Niannian, you are not young anymore, it is time to find someone to entrust your life to."

To be honest, Qiao Nian had a vague guess that Mrs. Lin wanted to say this, but when she really said it, Qiao Nian still felt a little ridiculous.

Grandmother was seriously ill and had not woken up yet, but Mrs. Lin came to talk to her about her lifelong affairs.

Even though she knew that her lifelong affairs were indeed what her grandmother cared about the most, at this moment, Mrs. Lin came to her yard to say these things, and she knew that Mrs. Lin was not doing this for her grandmother or for her.

But for Lin Yuan.

Because of what Xiao Heng said that day, she should marry first.

The tears on her face had not yet dried. Qiao Nian sniffed and then spoke, "Madam, since you said that, I think you have already chosen a candidate in mind?"

Of course, she had a candidate.

In fact, after Xiao Heng said those words that day, Madam Lin began to think about it.

But it was not convenient for her to say it at the moment, so she just said, "Don't worry, mother will not let you down in this matter, and will definitely satisfy you and your grandmother."

Yes, under the pretext of reassuring her grandmother, this candidate should naturally satisfy her grandmother.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath, "In this case, then I'll trouble you, Madam."

Her voice was light, and it was hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.

But this sentence meant that she agreed, at least, she was relieved.

The haze on Madam Lin's face was swept away, and she was even stained with a little relief, "Mother said that you are the most sensible. Don't worry, mother will not let you down."

Madam Lin repeated it again.

But saying this once was a matter of confidence, and saying it the second time became emphasis.

Things that need to be emphasized are often said by people who have no confidence in their hearts.

Fortunately, Qiao Nian did not believe Mrs. Lin's assurances and did not take it to heart.

She just wanted to reassure her grandmother.

At noon, the news of her grandmother's awakening came, and Qiao Nian went to see her grandmother immediately.

But when she came, her grandmother fell asleep again.

Nanny Su brought her a cup of hot tea and said softly, "The old lady took a tranquilizer. The doctor said that the old lady's current condition should be better if she sleeps more."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian was relieved, but she still felt bitter when she thought of Mrs. Lin's words.

Looking at the old lady's sleeping face, Qiao Nian couldn't help but think of what Lord Lin and Lin Ye said at the reunion dinner last night.

She can come back to the Marquis' Mansion now, all because of the old lady, but she also understands that no matter how the old lady's body is, she will have to leave the Marquis' Mansion sooner or later.

Even if Lord Lin and his people don't drive people away, since Xiao Heng said that, she has become a stumbling block in the marriage between the Lin family and the Xiao family.

It is understandable that Madam Lin is anxious to marry her off.

Last night, she thought for a long time and could not think of what she could do to reassure the old lady after leaving the Marquis's Mansion. However, what Madam Lin said today opened her mind.

Perhaps, getting married is the only way.

She naturally does not expect to be together for life, let alone anyone in the world who will love her.

Love is too empty.

She can't even grasp family affection, let alone love?

However, if she marries someone that the old lady is satisfied with, she can put her mind at ease, and at least the old lady will no longer be sad about her while she is alive.

She was useless and couldn't do anything for the old lady, so this was probably the only thing she could do.

When the old lady passes away in the future, if she can respect her husband as a guest, she will live their lives well. If she cannot make peace, she will have nothing to do with the other people in the prince's mansion.

Thinking about it this way, this has become her only way out now.

Qiao Nian took a deep breath. Even though she was holding a cup of hot tea, her ten fingers were still cold.

So she didn't dare to touch the old lady. She could only look at her face and said softly, "Grandma must get well soon."

Only when she gets better can she happily watch her get married.

It must be said that Mrs. Lin moved very quickly.

She only got Qiao Nian's consent on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year she took Qiao Nian into the palace to meet her future husband.

Qiao Nian was very resistant to entering the palace, but Concubine De sent a message. It would be disrespectful for her not to go.

And she didn't expect that Mrs. Lin would be so willing.

The future husband she found for her turned out to be Concubine De Gui's son, the current Prince Ming.
