Three days later.

Qiao Nian sat under the eaves of the corridor, the maid on her left was peeling melon seeds for her, and the maid on her right was cutting melon for her.

Three days, she still hadn't seen Xiao Heng.

But she was familiar with the situation of the two sisters.

These two were cousins, the one on the left was called Qiao'er, and the one on the right was called Hui'er.

They were not from the capital, and their hometown was far away in the border town.

They were rescued from the battlefield by Xiao Heng, and their relatives died in the war, so the two of them followed Xiao Heng back to the capital.

To them, Xiao Heng was their lifesaver, so they obeyed his words.

Naturally, they were very respectful to her.

For three days, the two served her wholeheartedly and were particularly obedient, but they would not tell her where this place was.

Without Xiao Heng's permission, they would not reveal any information about this place.

It's not that Qiao Nian didn't try other methods. In the past three days, she has walked around the whole house, but she didn't find any useful information.

Whether it's the front door or the back door, they are all locked and guarded by guards, so Qiao Nian can't get out.

When other servants in the house see Qiao Nian, they just bow at most and don't say a word.

She also thought about escaping at night.

But Qiao'er and Hui'er guarded the first half of the night and the second half of the night respectively, and they didn't give her any chance at all.

As a result, Qiao Nian can only sit under the eaves and be in a daze.

"Madam, eat a piece of cold melon, pick out the seeds!"

Hui'er said softly, handing her a piece, with a very kind smile on her face.

But looking at her face at this moment, what Qiao Nian thought of in his mind was Ningshuang.

She suddenly disappeared, and the girl must have been scared, and I don't know if she has been crying.

She should go to find Brother Xiao, but Brother Xiao may not know that it was Xiao Heng who kidnapped her.

Even if they knew, they might not be able to save her.

Ningshuang kept crying, and Ji Yue might not be able to persuade her.

What if her eyes were damaged by crying?

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian was very upset.

She frowned and looked at the two of them, and couldn't help asking, "When will he come?"

Qiao'er and Hui'er knew who Qiao Nian was talking about, and they looked at each other without saying anything.

They didn't know when Xiao Heng would come.

Seeing this, Qiao Nian became even more annoyed, and stood up immediately, "Then you tell him that if I can't see him today, I will bite my tongue and commit suicide!"

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the house.

Of course, she would not commit suicide, but the two little maids didn't know!

Fearing that Qiao Nian would really do something stupid, they immediately sent someone to find Xiao Heng.

Therefore, Xiao Heng came that night.

When he came, Qiao Nian had already fallen asleep.

In a daze, she felt someone approaching, and she subconsciously got up, grabbed the hairpin beside the pillow and stabbed the person.

Xiao Heng grabbed Qiao Nian's wrist, but the hairpin still pierced his chest.

It was a hairpin, not a dagger, otherwise, blood would have been seen by now.

Qiao Nian didn't recognize the man until this moment. His eyebrows sank, and he twisted his wrist twice, breaking away from Xiao Heng's hand, and smiled coldly, "General Xiao finally showed up."

Maybe it was too dark at night, Xiao Heng turned to the side and lit the candle on the table.

The dim light spread a little bit, and Qiao Nian quickly put on his coat and got out of bed.

But he never put down the hairpin in his hand.

Xiao Heng turned around and looked at Qiao Nian. He naturally caught a glimpse of the hairpin tightly held in Qiao Nian's hand, but he didn't care. He just smiled at Qiao Nian and said, "They said you wanted to see me."

There was a bit of joy in his eyebrows.

"..."

Qiao Nian didn't know what Qiao'er and Hui'er said to Xiao Heng, but it was obvious that Xiao Heng had misunderstood.

With a pair of beautiful eyebrows tightly knitted, Qiao Nian said in a deep voice, "What exactly are you going to do? Why do you want to imprison me here?"

The smile on Xiao Heng's face froze for a moment, but he still maintained that gentle smile, and his deep eyes were imprinted with the candlelight, bright.

"It's not imprisonment, I just want to give you and me a chance."

A chance to start over.

Qiao Nian's eyebrows became more and more gloomy. She looked at Xiao Heng with a hint of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "Opportunity? Three years ago, General Xiao didn't give me any chance."

Three years ago, they all stood in front of Lin Yuan, and even her defense was forced back by his fierce eyes.

Since he didn't want her three years ago, why did he imprison her like this three years later!

When she mentioned what happened three years ago, Xiao Heng's heart was like being cut by a knife.

He approached her, but saw that she took three steps back, and the hand holding the hairpin also made a defensive posture.

So, he stopped, took a deep breath, and said, "Three years ago, it was a misunderstanding. I didn't know that Lin Yuan had wronged you. I thought..."

"Enough, I don't want to hear it anymore!" Qiao Nian interrupted Xiao Heng coldly, not wanting to listen to his explanation anymore.

She knew that he had misunderstood three years ago.

But Lin Yuan didn't say anything that day, and the Lin family didn't say anything either. From beginning to end, only Xiao Cui came to blame her.

A mere maid made him misunderstand, isn't it ridiculous?

After taking a deep breath, Qiao Nian's eyes flashed with tears.

"I don't know what's wrong with General Xiao. He has never cared about me, so why do you act like you love me to the core now? Do you really like me, or do you just hate that I like others?"

Is it because of her past obsession that he naturally regarded her as his vassal?

Is that why you have such a persistent desire to possess her?

Xiao Heng's throat couldn't help but roll twice.

But he didn't say anything, and instead started to take off his clothes.

Seeing this, Qiao Nian became more and more nervous, almost exclaiming, "What are you going to do!"

Xiao Heng didn't say anything, and took off his shirt in just a few moments.

Revealing that muscular body, and...

Covered in scars.

The candlelight danced on his body, and Qiao Nian was stunned.

His voice was slightly hoarse and came slowly, "You and I are childhood sweethearts. No matter who bullied you when you were young, I will take it back for you. I admit, I became a little indifferent to you later on. , but ask yourself, in those years, was there anyone else besides you?"

He had always only allowed her to be by his side and annoy him.

Even if she really felt noisy, he would just take out the cake and stuff it in her mouth, but never expel her from his side.

A tear fell from Xiao Heng's eyes, and he approached her with scars all over his body.

"The Emperor has always had a grudge against the Hou Mansion because of the Five Kings Rebellion, and sent you to the Huanyi Bureau. This is the Emperor's test and suppression of the Hou Mansion! Do you think the old lady has been begging for three years, why did the Queen suddenly relent? ? I used this injury and those three years of military service to replace you!"

"In exchange for you leaving the palace, I fought on the battlefield for three years. Every time my life hung on the line, all I thought about was that you were waiting for me to return to Beijing!"

By the end of his words, his voice was trembling.

He said, "How do you think I never take you to heart?"
