After Lin Yuan finished her words, she saw that the two men in the room had no reaction. She realized that her trick was no longer effective.

In the past, no matter what, as long as she shed tears, the people in the Marquis' Mansion would surround her, comfort her, and take care of her.

Even Xiao Heng was no exception.

But now, Xiao Heng just pretended not to hear.

She knew that Xiao Heng hated her now.

But...

Didn't he even have that little bit of compassion?

Qiao Nian followed Lin Yuan's line of sight and couldn't help but look into the room.

Seeing Xiao Heng's knife-like profile still exuding that indifference, her heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

But, Xiao Heng has always been like this, hasn't he?

When he protected her, he would also chase people all over the capital to avenge her.

Later, when he didn't love her, he just didn't love her.

Qiao Nian turned back and looked at Lin Yuan coldly, "Remember, you are the least qualified person in the world to show off in front of me. I don't fight with you, it's because I don't want to, not because I'm afraid of you. Be obedient, be your second young lady, don't make trouble for me, otherwise, you won't have a good life."

After that, Qiao Nian turned and left.

Looking at Qiao Nian's back, Lin Yuan's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

It was anger, but also...fear from the bottom of her heart.

Yes, she was afraid of Qiao Nian.

She was afraid since the first time she saw Qiao Nian three years ago.

Everything she had was stolen, so she was very scared!

But...

She knew that what she had to do now was definitely not to be afraid!

Be obedient?

Oh, Qiao Nian and Xiao Heng really have a tacit understanding, even the words they warned her are the same!

But? What is obedient?

As long as the world is peaceful, everyone can be obedient!

As long as Qiao Nian dies, she can be content!

Her angry eyes stared at Qiao Nian's back, but she didn't expect that another figure would soon appear in her sight.

It was Xiao Heng!

He actually came out of Xiao He's house and chased Qiao Nian!

Lin Yuan was furious, but then she felt a little cold.

Could Xiao Heng just not help it?

This is Xiao He's yard!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Xiao He.

Then, the latter had also come out of the house, staring at her with a pair of cold eyes, not as cold as Xiao Heng, but also chilling.

The anger on her face subconsciously subsided, and Lin Yuan smiled at Xiao He, "Brother, don't you go to see your sister-in-law? What if..."

"Heng'er knows his limits." His voice was light, neither happy nor angry.

From the chess game just now, he could feel that Xiao Heng was not in a state of being blinded by anger today.

Then perhaps, it would be good to give them some time to talk it out.

Besides, Nian Nian is not someone who can be bullied at will now.

She still has a stone in her hand!

When Xiao He thought that Qiao Nian might hurt Xiao Heng with the method he taught, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lin Yuan's eyes were hurt by this smile. She didn't understand why Xiao He and Xiao Heng liked Qiao Nian so much!

The expression on her face could no longer be maintained well. She snorted coldly, turned around, and limped out of the yard.

At this time, Qiao Nian had already come to Xiao He's study.

She wanted to find a military book to read, so as to kill some time and wait for Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan to leave before going out.

But who knew that as soon as she took the military book off the bookshelf, a tall figure appeared behind her, blocking her way.

The familiar yet strange breath came, causing Qiao Nian to frown.

Afraid that the distance between them was too close, Qiao Nian did not turn around, but stared at the bookshelf in front of him and asked coldly, "Are you here to vent your anger on your wife?"

Xiao Heng stood behind her, staring at her bun, frowning.

He clenched his fists tightly, but his voice was hoarse after deliberately suppressing it, "You know I don't care about her."

"I don't know." Qiao Nian responded coldly, "I don't want to know anything about General Xiao."

"Niannian..." The voice behind him trembled a little, but took a deep breath, as if he had figured something out, and even his tone was stained with a bit of relief, "It doesn't matter, I will tell you slowly in the future, whether you want to know or not, I can tell you slowly."

However, this only caused Qiao Nian to sneer.

In the future?

"There is no future between me and General Xiao."

She said that she didn't want him a long time ago.

Xiao Heng's suppressed anger seemed to be quietly ignited at this moment, "Then who do you want to have a future with?"

Qiao Nian felt that there was no need to respond to the question that was obviously jealous.

But Xiao Heng suddenly moved her shoulders and forced her to turn around and look at him.

Qiao Nian struggled.

But his strength was so great that Qiao Nian was forced to look at him.

Then, she saw his slightly red eyes.

"Who do you want to have a future with?"

He asked again, and the usual darkness in his eyes had long gone. What was left was only eagerness and pleading, "With my brother? Nian Nian, no, you can't be so cruel to me."

Qiao Nian looked into his eyes, the distance was so close that she could clearly see her indifferent and calm appearance in those dark pupils.

It was just like his appearance when she came to him and begged him not to change the engagement.

"Who I will be with in the future is none of General Xiao's business."

At this point, she sighed slightly, "General Xiao, do you know how much trouble this action will bring me?"

No servants usually came to Xiao He's yard.

Otherwise, if Xiao Heng's appearance today was heard by Xiao's father and mother, I'm afraid it would be her seducing Xiao Heng again.

Xiao Heng seemed to calm down at this time, and hurriedly let go of his hand and stepped back three steps, "Yes, I crossed the line."

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, said nothing, and went out of the house.

Unexpectedly, Xiao He was not far away.

I don't know when he got a lot of stones in his hand, aiming at the other side of the wall, playing with them.

Seeing Qiao Nian coming out, he just looked over, with a faint smile on his lips.

Qiao Nian walked forward, walked to his side, and grabbed all the stones, "What if you break through the courtyard wall later?"

Xiao He's eyes were full of doting, and his eyes fell on Xiao Heng's face.

I saw that his eyes were still slightly red, but the whole person had already returned to a cold and indifferent look. When he saw Xiao He, he just said in a deep voice, "I'm leaving first."

After that, he left quickly, but didn't look at Qiao Nian again.

However, looking at Xiao Heng's hurried walk, Xiao He couldn't help but frown slightly, "You didn't hit him?"

Qiao Nian was stunned, and pushed Xiao He to the yard, "Why should I hit him?"

Xiao He didn't say anything, but there was a little disappointment on his face.

He should have hit him.

That kid just needs a lesson.
