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

Even though Xiao Heng couldn't see what Qiao Nian looked like at this moment, the rags of clothes cut by the branches, the blood on the dead branches and thorns, and even the strands of hair hanging on the branches all made Xiao Heng know that Qiao Nian must be covered with wounds.

She said it hurt, but she didn't say where it hurt.

But it must be very painful, so she cried so hard.

Xiao Heng's heart was also in great pain at this moment.

But he suddenly turned his back and squatted, just like he had done countless times in the past ten years.

He whispered, "Come."

Looking at the broad back that was once so familiar, Qiao Nian's expression became dazed at this moment.

But, he instinctively stretched out his hand, climbed onto his shoulders, and leaned on him very skillfully.

Xiao Heng carried her on his back, supported her with one hand, and pulled out the long sword at his waist with the other hand, swinging it left and right, removing the thorns in front of him.

The moonlight was still mottled.

The night wind was still cold.

But at this moment.

Qiao Nian vaguely felt that she was lying on the back of the eighteen-year-old Xiao Heng.

So, she felt at ease...

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally walked out of the forest.

However, she saw that the cave she was in before was now lit with countless torches.

Several yamen runners were carrying a corpse out.

The night wind blew, lifting a corner of the white cloth, revealing the face of the corpse.

It was Qiu Yu!

Qiao Nian was startled, "He, how could he..."

Could it be that she had killed Qiu Yu with that blow?

How could her strength be so great?

Xiao Heng carried Qiao Nian to the carriage not far away, gently put her down, and then said, "Qiu Yu tried to violate Yuan'er and was killed by Yuan'er."

Killed by Lin Yuan!

Qiao Nian's eyes widened immediately, "Where is Lin Yuan?"

"Don't worry, Yuan'er is fine. She has gone back with my mother and Nuannuan."

Xiao Heng's tone was gentle and soft, and he no longer had the disgust and indifference he had in the past few days when he mentioned Lin Yuan.

Qiao Nian's heart sank suddenly, and she couldn't help asking, "What did she tell you?"

Xiao Heng took off his coat and put it on Qiao Nian, and then said, "She didn't say anything. It was my mother who told Nuannuan that after Yuan'er killed Qiu Yu, she held an assassin hostage and finally saved my mother and Nuannuan."

However, Xiao Heng heard the distrust in Qiao Nian's tone, and then said, "I have seen Qiu Yu's body. The fatal wound was a hairpin piercing his heart. The hairpin belonged to Yuan'er."

So, Qiu Yu was really killed by Lin Yuan.

Qiao Nian frowned slightly.

The coat on her body exuded a man's breath, and every wisp was disturbing her heart.

But, she forced herself to calm down, looked at Xiao Heng, and asked word by word, "If I say that today, it was Lin Yuan and Qiu Yu who colluded and jointly set up a trap, do you believe it?"

Xiao Heng was stunned.

He had never thought that there would be such a possibility.

Both mother and Nuan Nuan said that it was Yuan Er who saved them...

Xiao Heng's cold eyebrows were twisted into a knot. Just as he was about to speak, he didn't expect that Qiao Nian had already taken off his coat and returned it to him.

"Thank you General Xiao for saving me today. Please send me back to the mansion first."

Qiao Nian said, and endured the pain in his right ankle and got into the carriage.

The curtain blocked everything outside, and Qiao Nian's heart gradually calmed down.

Just now in the forest, she was panicked, and the fear of being caught by Qiu Yu kept haunting her, making her panic.

So that Xiao Heng's appearance was like a savior, which completely caught her off guard.

So, when the memories of the past came flooding back, she was quickly swept up in them, and even forgot to break free.

She was really confused.

How could she think that he would believe her?

When had he ever believed in her unwaveringly?

The chill in her heart spread little by little.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but hug her arms, wanting to give herself a little warmth.

However, the boundless coldness invaded from all directions, wrapped her tightly, and made her tremble all over.

Xiao Heng didn't know what was wrong with Qiao Nian.

He just felt that she was probably angry about what happened today, so she suddenly became cold.

Looking at the coat in his hand, his brows were knitted, but he didn't say anything, just asked the driver to move forward.

He would know the truth when he went back to check, and there was no need to worry about it.

Before the hour of Hai, the carriage finally stopped outside the Xiao Mansion.

Qiao Nian lifted the curtain and saw Xiao Heng standing aside, holding out his hand to her.

He was probably so attentive because he found out that she had sprained her ankle.

However, Qiao Nian ignored him and got off the carriage despite the severe pain in her ankle.

Xiao Heng frowned slightly, not understanding what was going on.

She had been clinging to his back in the forest.

She clearly needed him!

"Miss!" A cry of surprise came at this time.

Ning Shuang rushed out of the mansion in a hurry, and burst into tears the moment she saw Qiao Nian, "Wuwu, Miss, how did you get into this? Wuwuwu..."

Ning Shuang's tears kept falling.

Qiao Nian also knew that she must be in a mess at this moment.

Her black hair was messed up by the thorns in the mountains, her dress was torn a lot, and there were many wounds on her arms and legs.

There were too many thorns in the forest.

She was only concerned about escaping at that time, how could she care about these things?

Now that Ningshuang had lifted her up, she felt pain all over her body.

She knew that Ningshuang was strong, so she simply leaned half of her body on Ningshuang and said half-jokingly, "Help your young lady go back to rest."

Ningshuang wiped her tears and helped Qiao Nian go to the mansion.

At this time, the people in Xiao Mansion heard the news and rushed over.

Seeing Qiao Nian's miserable appearance, Xiao He's eyebrows were tightly knitted, and his heart was twisted suddenly. He raised his eyes and gestured to Ji Yue beside him.

Ji Yue immediately stepped forward, helped Ningshuang, and supported Qiao Nian to walk inside.

With Ji Yue's help, Qiao Nian's right foot didn't need to exert any strength at all.

She raised her eyes and met Xiao He's worried eyes, and smiled at him, "I'm fine, I just twisted my ankle."

Xiao He still didn't speak, his face was very cold.

After his people learned of Qiu Yu's abnormal movements, they immediately notified him, who knew that at this moment, the news of the hijacking of two carriages of the Xiao family came at the same time.

He immediately sent someone to notify Xiao Heng.

But, it was still a step too late.

Nian Nian was still injured!

Holding his hands tightly on the handrail, Xiao He suddenly hated himself.

Hated that he couldn't stand up!

If he wasn't a cripple, he could have brought people to rescue earlier, then maybe, Nian Nian wouldn't be injured!

Just as I was thinking, a sarcastic voice came from behind me, "I didn't expect that some people only cared about themselves and ran away, but they were hurt more seriously! Mom, do you think this is what Buddhism says, that evil will be punished?"
