On the other side, Xiao He's yard was still brightly lit.

It was half an hour later that Qiao Nian finished washing up.

Ningshuang stood behind Qiao Nian, wiping her half-dried hair and secretly wiping her tears.

She saw everything clearly just now.

The scars all over her young lady's body, as well as the new ones today, made her heart feel like it was about to break.

Even this hair was broken a lot, and there were even scratches on her scalp, which showed how much her young lady had suffered tonight!

But those people outside actually blamed her young lady for running away!

What a bunch of blind people!

If her life wasn't at stake, how could her young lady have done this to herself?

Ningshuang was furious and distressed, but she only dared to suppress her sobs for fear of being heard by Qiao Nian.

However, Qiao Nian still heard it.

He couldn't help but look back at her, "Okay, am I back safely?"

Unexpectedly, Ningshuang's tears became even more intense when Qiao Nian comforted her, "It's all my fault. I should have gone with the young lady today!"

If she had followed, she would not have made her young lady so embarrassed!

Qiao Nian hurriedly stood up and wiped away Ningshuang's tears, "Even my mother-in-law didn't bring her maid with me today. If you follow me, I'm afraid my mother-in-law and the others will have something to say again."

Moreover, fortunately Ningshuang did not follow, otherwise the sword had no eyes, and Ningshuang might have been killed like those guards.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Lin Yuan is now at the point of using whatever means necessary.

She can't let it go anymore!

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian's eyes became a bit fierce.

But at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Ningshuang wiped away her tears before opening the door.

Outside the house were Xiao He and Ji Yue.

"The eldest young master? Miss, the eldest young master is here!"

When Ningshuang called out, Qiao Nian hurriedly put on his coat and came out of the back room.

However, the black hair has not been dried yet and is still hanging loose.

Instead of the previous awkwardness, he felt a little more relaxed and close.

Xiao He's heart jumped inexplicably.

But he said calmly, "I came to see if you are okay."

Today's accident was so sudden that he had to take a look to feel relieved.

Qiao Nian welcomed Xiao He and Ji Yue into the house, asked Ningshuang to pour a glass of water for them, and then said, "Brother Xiao, don't worry, I'm fine."

Xiao He lowered his eyes and nodded slightly.

But unexpectedly, Ji Yue behind him suddenly spoke, "The eldest young lady doesn't know that my master is going crazy today! So what happened to Qiu Yu? Why did he die?"

Qiao Nian couldn't help but be surprised.

She didn't know whether Ji Yue said these two sentences together on purpose.

What does it mean that his master is going crazy?

Xiao He couldn't help but frown tightly, but Ji Yue didn't give him a breath to speak. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't find a chance to refute the words of 'crazy anxious'.

He subconsciously looked at Qiao Nian, only to see that Qiao Nian was also looking at him, with a bit of inquiry in his eyes.

Their eyes met, the two people clearly didn't say anything, but they seemed to understand each other tacitly, and both looked away again.

It seems a little embarrassing.

Qiao Nian coughed lightly, and then turned the topic to business, "Qiu Yu tried to belittle me, but I knocked him unconscious with a stone. At first, Xiao Heng said that Qiu Yu was dead, and I thought I was too harsh. , but I didn’t expect to be killed by Lin Yuan.”

Ningshuang stood aside, thoughtfully, "Could it be that Qiu Yu felt angry after waking up, so he wanted to operate on the second lady, but was killed by the second lady?"

Xiao He's eyebrows darkened slightly, and he said in a cold voice, "It's possible, but Lin Yuan is more likely to kill someone and silence him."

Qiao Nian nodded in agreement, "She should have killed Qiu Yu while he was still unconscious. Otherwise, she would not be Qiu Yu's opponent."

After all, Lin Yuan had never learned martial arts at all.

Ji Yue felt shocked, "Second Young Madam, who usually looks so pitiful, can she really be so cruel?"

Ningshuang snorted coldly, "She just pretended to be like that! First she hired someone to kill someone, and now she's doing it directly! I don't know what she will do in the future!"

Ningshuang felt more and more that this woman Lin Yuan was too scary!

Xiao He remained silent, but he agreed with Ningshuang's words.

Qiao Nian said, "I'm a little worried about Xiao Huan now."

Hearing this, Xiao He's face also darkened.

Xiaohuan is the person who knows the most about Lin Yuan's secrets now. Naturally, he is also the person Lin Yuan wants to silence most.

She can even kill someone as close as Xiao Cui, let alone Xiao Huan who has been following her for a short time?

Thinking of this, Xiao He said slowly, "Today Qiu Yu kidnapped all the female members of the Xiao family. The Xiao family will definitely not let it go. But Qiu Yu is dead. I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out the truth. In the end, it will be nothing more than Tai." Fu helped Qiu Yu take the blame."

As for Lin Yuan, as a female member of the Xiao family and one of the victims, it would be difficult to trace her.

"But, if Xiao Huan can stand up and tell Lin Yuan's crime..."

Xiao He said, raising his eyes to look at Qiao Nian.

She saw Qiao Nian looking at her with a hint of determination in her eyes.

"I think so too, but if we try to persuade you easily, I'm afraid Xiaohuan may not listen to us."

Xiao He nodded slightly, "So this matter requires the help of Ningshuang and Ji Yue."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but smile.

She suddenly realized that Xiao He was exactly the same as she thought.

Ningshuang was puzzled and couldn't help asking, "How can I help?"

Qiao Nian looked at her and said softly, "In our courtyard, you are the only one who can talk to Xiaohuan on weekdays, so when you see Xiaohuan tomorrow, you might as well mention Xiaocui."

Ningshuang nodded slightly, understanding Qiao Nian's intention, but still puzzled, "But, just saying a few words, will it be useful?"

"Then we still need Ji Yue's help." Xiao He smiled lightly and turned to look at Ji Yue, "Tomorrow night, you put on your nightgown and go find Xiaohuan."

Hearing this, Ji Yue also reacted immediately, "Young Master wants me to pretend to be those black-clad assassins today?"

Qiao Nian's smile deepened, but his eyes became deeper, "I saw Xiaohuan seemed a little scared today, which shows that she doesn't trust Lin Yuan very much. If she knew that Lin Yuan sent someone to assassinate her, she would definitely come to us to save her life."

In this way, they have witnesses.

"But, Xiaohuan's testimony alone is not enough." Xiao He spoke again, and his usually cold eyes were slightly fierce.

He had to do something to make Lin Yuan regret this day for the rest of her life, and to kill Qiao Nian!
