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

Xiao Heng paused as he was about to step out of the hall, tilting his head slightly. Just looking at his back, one could feel his impatience at the moment.

He did not turn around and turned his back to everyone.

I just heard Father Xiao angrily yelling, "You bastard, don't do stupid things again, otherwise you will never be lenient as a father!"

With a harmless threat, Xiao Heng didn't even respond and walked out the door.

Father Xiao was so angry that he immediately started to attack the case and seemed to chase him out, but was stopped by Xiao's mother.

So much so that Father Xiao's anger was directed at Mother Xiao, "Look at what a good son you have taught me!"

Father Xiao was angry, so Mother Xiao would not quarrel with him, but would just comfort him, "Okay, okay, I will teach him a lesson later, don't make yourself so angry, Nuannuan, help your father go down and rest."

Father Xiao loves Xiao Qingnuan the most, and it is most appropriate for Xiao Qingnuan to comfort him.

Xiao Qingnuan responded immediately and stepped forward to help Xiao's father, "Dad, can Nuannuan play chess with you?"

As expected, Father Xiao's anger subsided a little, but he was still angry. He snorted coldly before turning and leaving.

Looking at Father Xiao's back, Mother Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

Just listen to Xiao He speak slowly, "Mom, don't worry, dad and Heng'er are just in a temporary mood, and they will be fine in two days."

Xiao He knew the tempers of the father and son best.

Hearing this, Mother Xiao finally looked towards Xiao He, with a stiff smile on her lips, and nodded slightly, "Yes, don't worry too much, go back and rest!"

But Xiao He was not in a hurry to leave. He turned to look at Qiao Nian, and then looked at Xiao's mother, "Mom, it has been proven that the rumors outside are all intentional. You don't have to worry anymore."

Qiao Nian sat aside, eyes lowered, silent.

Mother Xiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard these words.

What worries her now is not the rumors, but the approval from Master Ci'en!

What's more, she didn't expect Xiao Heng to be so stubborn. If she couldn't dispel his idea, she was afraid that things would get worse in the future.

The Xiao family may never have peace!

But Mother Xiao didn't say these words.

She nodded towards Xiao He, trying hard to smile, "Yes, mother knows, you go back!"

But this smile was so stiff that Xiao He's heart sank.

But he nodded, stood up, and said, "That kid will leave first."

Qiao Nian stood up and bowed, then left with Xiao He.

On the way back to the courtyard, Qiao Nian followed Xiao He all the time.

She deliberately didn't get too close to him.

But he didn't fall far behind.

It's too far, Xiao He will think too much.

But as sharp as Xiao He, how could he not notice it?

He turned around and stopped.

It was so sudden that Qiao Nian almost bumped into him.

Fortunately, he stopped in time, but the distance was still too close after all.

She raised her eyes, met Xiao He's smiling eyes, and subconsciously took two steps back.

As a result, the smile in Xiao He's eyes dimmed.

She had been deliberately avoiding him since yesterday.

With a slight frown on his brows, Xiao He spoke slowly, "What I said yesterday made it difficult for you?"

Qiao Nian lowered her eyes, not knowing how to answer.

To say it was embarrassing seemed a bit too heartless.

Although she was not embarrassed, she was indeed troubled by those words.

Therefore, there was no response.

But Xiao He's cold voice fell gently and slowly, "What I said yesterday was just my inner thoughts. You don't have to care too much and just follow your inner choice. If you think I am worth trusting If so, give me a chance; if it’s really unintentional, I won’t break my original promise.”

Although she had been talking to him for three years, he also said that she could leave anytime she wanted.

He knows that love cannot be forced.

He does like her, so he'll fight for it.

But if she didn't like him, he wouldn't force her.

After all, his temperament is different from Xiao Heng.

Thinking of this, Xiao He's heart sank, as if he remembered something, he said to Qiao Nian, "Or, I can accompany you to leave the capital."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian suddenly raised his eyes to look at Xiao He, his eyes full of surprise.

How could he have thought of leaving the capital with her?

Seeing her reacting so strongly to this proposal, Xiao He knew that he must have spoken to her heart, and a smile inevitably appeared on his lips, "I know you are still worried about Heng'er, so I want to tell you , don’t worry, I can handle it.”

The Xiao family no longer needs him to take on anything, so he can leave with her without any worries and see the mountains and rivers he has never seen before, and the customs and customs he has never seen before.

As long as he leaves the capital, no matter how crazy Xiao Heng is, he will never give up his military power or his responsibilities.

There was no way Xiao Heng could catch up with them.

Qiao Nian's eyes moved slightly.

If Xiao Heng is a sword, then to her, Xiao He may be a shield that can withstand sharp swords.

He can block all difficulties and blames for her, protect her well, and always stand by her side.

Probably, Xiao He was too gentle at this moment.

Not just his voice, but also his tone, his eyebrows, and his smile.

They were all as gentle as the night breeze last night, bit by bit, blowing open her heart that had decided to close.

"I..." She finally spoke, her eyes somehow moistened, "I'll think about it."

She just considered it, she didn't say she agreed.

But after hearing her words, Xiao He couldn't help but feel happy.

The smile on his lips became more and more intense, his eyes seemed to be shining, staring at her tightly, and he said softly, "Okay."

Qiao Nian's cheeks unconsciously flushed when he was looked at like this.

But at this moment, a servant came hurriedly and saluted to Xiao He, "Master, someone came to the palace and said that the emperor urgently summoned you to the palace."

Hearing this, Xiao He's face sank instantly.

The emperor urgently summoned?

What's the matter?

"Could it be that the murderer who poisoned you that year has been found?" Qiao Nian couldn't help asking.

After all, Xiao He must have told the emperor about this matter when he entered the palace that day.

Xiao He frowned slightly, already doubting this, and immediately looked at Qiao Nian, "Then I'll go to the palace first."

After saying that, he strode away.

There was indeed a eunuch waiting outside the Xiao Mansion.

He looked unfamiliar.

But Xiao He had not been to the palace for five years, so what was so strange about seeing some new faces in the palace?

He did not doubt it at the moment, and rode his horse towards the direction of the palace.

But, before he could reach the palace gate, he was stopped by someone.

Xiao Heng blocked Xiao He's way, looking a little gloomy, "Brother."

Xiao He did not react for a moment, and only said in surprise, "You are also entering the palace?"

But Xiao Heng's face was still gloomy.

He didn't say anything, but Xiao He understood it instantly. His face turned pale and he shouted in a low voice, "Asshole! How dare you fake the imperial edict!"
