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

Xiao He thought that if she still couldn't like him in three years, then he would fulfill his original promise and let her go.

Of course, if she didn't want to, he wouldn't force her to stay for three years.

He was just fighting for a chance for himself.

Qiao Nian looked at Xiao He blankly, but his mind was already in a mess.

Brother Xiao treats her very well, she knows that.

But she never thought about what was going to happen with Xiao He.

What Xiao He said now was too sudden for her.

Three years.

She did indeed promise.

But things are different now, so she has to think more carefully.

She didn't want to see him turning against the Xiao Heng brothers, and she couldn't bear to see such a harmonious Xiao family falling apart because of her.

She should leave and find her own life.

Instead of staying in the capital and entangled with the past.

All her senses were telling her, no!

So, she stepped back unconsciously. Even though she couldn't bear to hurt Xiao He, she still frowned and said, "I, I know Brother Xiao is very good to me... But, ah!"

With a cry of surprise, Qiao Nian's foot slipped and she fell into the lotus pond.

Xiao He was startled and took action almost instantly, pulling Qiao Nian back.

However, due to inertia, he rushed into the lotus pond instead, and the ripples spread out in circles, but Xiao He was nowhere to be seen.

Qiao Nian was frightened and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Brother Xiao!"

After calling several times, but seeing that Xiao He still didn't come up, she jumped into the water without hesitation.

Qiao Nian knew that Xiao He was good at water.

Xiao Heng was taught by Xiao He when he was a child.

However, he has been lying in bed for five years and has never been out of bed, let alone swimming.

Maybe he has forgotten it?

Qiao Nian was really scared, especially after she got into the water, she couldn't find Xiao He, and she became even more panicked.

Xiao He's leg disease has just been cured, and his new life has just begun!

She can't let anything happen to him!

She searched hard, but the lake water was too turbid. Even if she opened her eyes with all her strength, there was only blue lake water in front of her.

He could only stretch out his hands and grope around helplessly.

At this moment, a pair of big hands suddenly appeared, holding her hands tightly, and then pulled them in front of her.

Qiao Nian immediately ran into Xiao He's broad chest, and then was held by him and swam towards the lake.

"call!"

The two people who surfaced exhaled involuntarily, and then started breathing heavily.

Xiao He couldn't care less, holding Qiao Nian's waist with one hand to prevent her from sinking any further, and wiping the water stains on her face with the other hand, frowning slightly, and his tone was a bit reproachful, "You don't know how to water, you are so careless What are you doing down here?”

God knows how panicked he was when he saw her sinking in the water just after he emerged from the water!

Qiao Nian gasped. Xiao He didn't know that she had learned to swim in the laundry department, and her face that was soaked in water was obviously filled with anger.

But the water kept dripping, and he blinked in discomfort because of the water stains that he hadn't had time to wipe away.

Maybe it was because he was cared for, or maybe it was because his expression at the moment was a little funny.

Qiao Nian just laughed.

She raised her hand and wiped away the water stains on his face.

Only then could he open his eyes comfortably, and what he saw was her smiling face that was brighter than the sun.

"boom"

In an instant, it was as if something exploded in his heart, blowing up everything around him.

Everything in the world seems to have become blank at this moment.

Only her and her smile were left.

The two were soon discovered by the servants and pulled ashore.

In the room, Qiao Nian sat at the table, holding the ginger tea that Ningshuang forced on her.

"Even if you fall into the water in summer, you will catch a cold, so you have to drink!" Ningshuang said, walking around behind Qiao Nian and wiping her half-dried hair.

He glanced outside and couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Miss, I'm afraid Mrs. Xiao will come to our place soon, or else the slave will close the door and say you're not feeling well and go to sleep?"

Qiao Nian took a sip of ginger tea and asked strangely, "What's wrong?"

If Xiao's mother wants to come, just come. Why should Ningshuang be so resistant?

Ningshuang frowned, and then said truthfully, "My slave girl heard some rumors on the street today, saying that Miss you are Kefu's destiny, and it just so happened that the eldest young master fell into the water again today. I think this slave girl, Mrs. Xiao This must be blamed on you!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but turn around and glance at Ningshuang.

Seeing her solemn expression, Qiao Nian thought that there might be more to the rumor than just a little bit.

No wonder Xiao's mother has had a strange attitude towards her since yesterday, maybe she was affected by those rumors.

If that's the case, then she can't stay any longer, otherwise even the mother-child relationship between Xiao He and Xiao's mother will be disturbed by her!

Thinking like this, she raised her lips and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter, we have to leave anyway."

Ningshuang thought it made sense, so she nodded and said nothing more.

Sure enough, Mother Xiao came not long after.

Qiao Nian stood up to greet her before her hair was tied up.

Seeing this, Xiao's mother hurriedly reached out and said, "No need to be polite, you must be scared today!"

"No." Qiao Nian responded softly, with such a gentle and polite smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

She glanced at Ningshuang and waited for Xiao's mother to continue.

Suddenly, Mrs. Xiao took Qiao Nian's hand and patted it gently. Her lips opened and closed, as if she was thinking about it, but also as if she didn't know where to start.

Finally he opened his mouth and called her, "Nian Nian, you..."

Before I could even finish saying the word 'you', Xiao He's voice sounded outside the room, "Mother."

Xiao's mother paused for a moment, then finally let out a long sigh and said, "You were frightened today. Take a good rest. Mom will come see you tomorrow."

After that, he turned around and walked out.

Walking outside the house and face to face with Xiao He, Xiao's mother couldn't help but glance at him.

Then I saw that his expression was indifferent, but he smiled and said in a low voice, "Thank you, mother."

Thank you that she still didn't say anything hurtful to Qiao Nian.

Mother Xiao took a deep breath, turned her head and glanced in the direction of Qiao Nian, and then said, "There is no need to thank me. Fortunately, you are okay today, but if there is another time, you will break the law, and I will also I won’t rely on you anymore.”

Xiao He immediately coaxed in a low voice, "Don't worry, mother, there will never be a next time."

Mother Xiao sighed slightly, "I asked the kitchen to make ginseng soup, and I will remember to serve it to Nian Nian later."

"Okay." Xiao He's eyebrows softened.

He knew that Xiao's mother was never a bad person.

If not, how could you have loved him as your own for so many years?

She was just too worried about him.

Mother Xiao gave a few more instructions before leaving.

In the room, Qiao Nian also saw the exchange between Xiao He and Xiao's mother just now.

Although she didn't hear what they said, it was not difficult to see that Xiao's mother didn't say those unpleasant words to her just now because of Xiao He.

It was Xiao He who was coaxing Xiao's mother!
