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

The aura around Xiao Heng suddenly darkened.

"Do you really want to marry him?"

The deep voice was cold.

Qiao Nian looked into those scarlet eyes and said calmly, "Yes."

"Even if he is disabled?"

Xiao Heng's words made Qiao Nian fall silent.

Seeing this, Xiao Heng thought she didn't know, so he immediately said, "Do you know he..."

"I know." Qiao Nian interrupted Xiao Heng. She knew what Xiao Heng was going to say next.

The maid who led the way just now was Liu Niang, and Liu Niang secretly told her all the secrets that she had never known before.

Xiao Heng was stunned.

She knows, but still insists on getting married?

As if he remembered something, his voice was slightly hoarse, "If it's because of what I said before, I can go to Mrs. Lin..."

He thought she was because he said that she had to marry someone first before she could marry Lin Yuan.

But who would have thought that Qiao Nian interrupted him again, "It's not because of you, general. It's because I want to marry Prince Ming."

It's because my grandmother's body can't hold on for long, it's because the Marquis Mansion is not her destination in the future, and it's because she has to find a way out for herself.

Because of many things, but not because of him.

"Nian Nian..." Xiao Heng's tone softened inexplicably, and he almost called her in a tone that Qiao Nian had never heard from him before.

So much so that her heart jumped unconsciously.

She understood that she had loved Xiao Heng so deeply, so much that she would risk everything, so much that she could risk her life for him.

She also understands more clearly that what she needs love now is herself.

"General Xiao." She responded with a restrained and distant address, "You and Miss Lin are a good match."

So now, Xiao Heng should go to comfort his fiancée who is sad because of Lin Ye, instead of blocking her in this small cave in this huge palace, saying those inexplicable words, and flirting with her for nothing. That heart that was already dead.

Xiao Heng just looked into her eyes, and his face was still reflected in those eyes that he was so familiar with, but they were so cold...

He knew it was time to let go.

Otherwise, if someone finds the two of them in this position in the cave, they will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

But if he just let go, how could he be willing to do so?

"Miss Qiao, someone is coming!"

Suddenly there was a slight sound outside the rockery.

Qiao Nian recognized it immediately, it was Liu Niang.

She was startled and hurriedly pushed Xiao Heng twice more, but Xiao Heng remained motionless and did not give her a chance to escape.

Qiao Nian's eyes were filled with panic, and she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Does General Xiao think my current situation is not miserable enough?"

Xiao Heng's reason finally prevailed.

The hand that was imprisoned on her waist was finally released.

Qiao Nian hurriedly got out of the cave in the rockery.

Liu Niang immediately stepped forward and straightened her slightly messy hair.

It happened that a young eunuch passed by and bowed when he saw Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian bowed in return, and then followed Liu Niang to the palace gate.

The little eunuch continued to walk his own way, but before he had gone far, a small jade pendant fell to the ground around his waist.

He leaned over to pick it up, and when he looked up again, he saw a tall figure in the distance walking away quickly.

The little eunuch was suspicious. He just came all the way and didn't see Mr. Xiao!

Where did he come from?

Inexplicably, his eyes fell on the rockery not far away. Thinking of Miss Qiao just now, the little eunuch couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.

But he didn't think about it any more and just went about his own business.

At the same time, Marquis Lin, who left the palace early and returned to the Marquis Mansion, kicked open Lin Ye's door with a cold face.

Lin Ye had just woken up at this moment, and Lin Yuan was sitting beside him feeding him medicine. He was so shocked by Marquis Lin's kick that the medicine in his hand spilled out, and he screamed in surprise because of the heat.

Lin Ye's heart twitched, and Mrs. Lin hurried forward, took Lin Yuan's hand, and said with great distress, "Oh, hurry up, hurry up and get the medicine with me!"

As he said that, he pulled Lin Yuan out.

But Lin Yuan refused to leave, tears streaming down her face, "If I don't go, my father will definitely punish my brother for being like this. I have to stay and protect my brother."

Marquis Lin was so moved that he cried a little because of Lin Yuan's pear blossom and rainy appearance.

Lin Ye frowned deeply.

The image in his mind was full of Qiao Nian saying that he had died three years ago in front of everyone.

He couldn't help but wonder, how could there be such a big difference?

They were also his sisters, one would not even care about getting hurt for him, but the other could be so cruel to him...

However, Lord Lin suddenly shouted, "Shouldn't he be punished? You beat your sister like that in front of everyone, are you still a human being? You are just a beast!"

Lin Ye's actions today were not intended to punish Qiao Nian. They were clearly trampling the face of the Hou Mansion to the ground.

Now everyone in the capital knew that the daughter he had raised for fifteen years had a feud with them. How many good things could be said about the right and wrong after everyone talked about it?

Lin Ye knew he was in the wrong, "My son was also confused because of his anger."

"No matter how stupid you are, you can't beat someone like that!" Mrs. Lin hugged Lin Yuan and couldn't bear the thought of the blood oozing from Qiao Nian's back.

Lin Yuan said, "But Brother has already realized his mistake. Your Majesty still beats Brother like this. Father and mother, please stop blaming Brother!"

Lin Yuan's words finally made Lord Lin and his wife focus on Lin Ye's back.

Thinking of the way Lin Ye looked when he was sent back, the two of them still couldn't bear it.

Lord Lin still said coldly, "Thanks to the emperor for not blaming you, it's okay if you get hurt a little, stay here and reflect on why you are so impulsive! How old are you? How can I trust you to hand over the entire mansion to you in the future?"

Lin Ye was silent and didn't say a word.

Madam Lin said, "Okay, Ye'er should know his mistake."

Lord Lin sighed heavily and turned to leave.

Madam Lin also hugged Yuan'er and walked out, "Yuan'er, be good, mother will take you to apply medicine."

Lin Yuan still looked back again and again, looking at Lin Ye worriedly.

Lin Ye smiled at Lin Yuan, not wanting his sister to worry, until the door was closed, his smile sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he reached out from under the mattress and fumbled for a while, and finally took out a carving knife and a piece of wood.

Thinking of what Qiao Nian had accused him of in Fahua Temple before, Lin Ye couldn't help but curl his lips.

It was just a hairpin, he would carve another one for her, what was there to hold a grudge against?

And the night-shining pearl, he heard some time ago that a new one was found in the East China Sea, which was more encircled than the previous one, at most he would go there again when his injury healed.

They were just some external things!

How could she be so heartless that she even cursed him to death?

While carving, Lin Ye thought that when this hairpin was delivered to Qiao Nian, Qiao Nian would be so moved that she would cry bitterly.

Thinking of this, his mood inexplicably improved, but he didn't expect that the carving knife slipped and cut off a piece of flesh from his index finger.

Blood was pouring out.

He quickly covered his injured finger, his features twisted in pain.

However, he saw the bright red blood dripping drop by drop onto the uncarved wood.

An inexplicable uneasiness spread, sweeping over his entire body...
