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

After Qiao Nian returned to the Hou Mansion, she wanted to pay her respects to her grandmother, but was told that her grandmother had already gone to bed.

She thought that since her grandmother could sleep, it proved that she had never heard about what happened at Fahua Temple today, and she felt relieved.

When she returned to Fanghe Garden, Ningshuang was waiting for her with a white face. Qiao Nian couldn't help but feel a twitch in her heart when she thought of Lin Ye's previous kick.

Ningshuang acted as if nothing had happened and continued to come forward to help Qiao Nian change her clothes.

But Qiao Nian thought for a while and finally said, "Ningshuang, do you have anywhere else you want to go?"

Hearing this, Ningshuang was stunned, and her already pale face became even more pale, "Are you going to drive this slave away?"

Qiao Nian shook her head, "I'm not trying to drive you away, I'm just... afraid of getting you involved."

If it weren't for her today, how could Ningshuang have suffered such an unreasonable disaster?

But who knows that Ningshuang's mood suddenly became excited, "I am not afraid! Miss, please don't drive me away. I want to stay with you and protect you!"

Perhaps she was too excited, so she choked and coughed as soon as she finished speaking. After a few times, she vomited a mouthful of blood.

Qiao Nian was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help her sit down, "What's going on? Didn't you call the doctor?"

Ningshuang finally stopped coughing, and then said, "Look, the doctor said that the slave has suffered internal injuries and should not be emotional."

But if Qiao Nian drives her away, she will become agitated, coughing and vomiting blood like she did just now.

Qiao Nian understood what Ningshuang meant. Although she didn't understand why Ningshuang was so stubborn to stay by her side, thinking about how she was desperate to protect herself before, her heart still couldn't help but soften. For a moment.

A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Okay, I understand. I'll try not to make you angry, miss."

"Miss Ningshuang didn't make Ningshuang angry!" Ningshuang realized that Qiao Nian might have misunderstood, and hurriedly wanted to explain, but only after looking at the smile on Qiao Nian's lips did she understand what Qiao Nian meant.

So with red eyes, she held Qiao Nian's hand and said, "I will definitely protect the young lady in the future, and never let the young lady suffer the injustice she did today."

The little girl's tears have always touched people.

Qiao Nian also wanted to cry. She sniffed and said with a smile, "Silly girl, you have to protect yourself before you protect me in the future. Otherwise, I really don't want you anymore."

"Okay!" Ningshuang nodded vigorously, but secretly thought in her heart, what should she protect from her low status.

In the future, she still has to protect the young lady!

The next day, the imperial edict conferring marriage came down from the palace, and then a stream of rewards followed into the Marquis Mansion.

Some are rewarded by the emperor, and some are rewarded by the noble concubine.

Looking at the countless gold and silver jewelry, Lin Yuan stood aside with an envious look, "The emperor and the concubine must really like my sister. My sister's life is so good!"

Is her life really good?

Qiao Nian turned to look at Lin Yuan and saw her looking at her happily, with no other emotions except envy in her eyes. Only then was she sure that Lin Yuan was not ridiculing her.

Can……

She looked at Lin Yuan with a faint smile on her lips, "My sister is so envious, why don't we switch?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment.

Change?

Let her marry Prince Ming?

But Brother A clearly said that Prince Ming is a pit of fire, and marrying Prince Ming is like jumping into a pit of fire. She doesn’t want to marry Prince Ming!

She likes Brother Heng, and she wants to marry him!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan hurriedly shook her head, with a bit of fear in her eyes, as if she was really afraid of being robbed by Qiao Nian.

This kind of reaction is really ridiculous compared to what she said just now.

Qiao Nian couldn't help but shook his head slightly and laughed softly.

Mrs. Lin obviously knew that Lin Yuan's words just now were inappropriate, so she hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt, "King Ming is still recovering from his injuries these days. He sent someone to say that he will take you to the place you agreed on after a while."

Where did they make an appointment?

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, and then remembered that Prince Ming had said yesterday that he would take her somewhere after it was over.

But this doesn’t count as a date, right? He left without waiting for her to agree.

Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Yuan came closer and said, "Where did His Highness Prince Ming go with his sister? Is it fun?"

"..."

Looking at her face full of joy, Qiao Nian suddenly thought of something.

She looked at Lin Yuan and asked in a deep voice, "Yesterday, was it you who told His Highness Prince Ming that I would go to Fahua Temple?"

She remembered what Lin Yuan seemed to have said.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, "Why did you do that?"

If she hadn't come to invite her, she wouldn't have remembered the Holy Festival, and naturally wouldn't have gone to Fahua Temple.

If Prince Ming hadn't stood up for her outside the temple and dragged her into the temple, Xiao Qingnuan wouldn't have spoken so harshly in front of her later.

so……

The crime she suffered yesterday was all caused by Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was the one who had seen Qiao Nian get angry. Looking at Qiao Nian's face now, she knew that Qiao Nian was angry.

He was startled at the moment, as if he was afraid that Qiao Nian would do something, and took two steps back, "I, I just heard about my sister and Prince Ming, so I just wanted to add fuel to the flames and bring you two together..."

"So, do I still have to thank you?" Qiao Nian smiled coldly, with strong sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, "The legitimate daughter of the noble Marquis family is so interested in other people's marriages. I want to praise you for your enthusiasm. Or do you praise me for not being ashamed?"

"Niannian!" Madam Lin shouted in a low voice, and hurriedly protected Lin Yuan, who was about to cry, behind her, "Don't say so much, your sister is just kind-hearted, she, she has no other thoughts, don't be angry. You are all my daughters, and I can't bear any of you to be wronged."

Qiao Nian's eyes were retracted from Lin Yuan's face.

She glanced at Madam Lin, with a smile that didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, "Madam Lin, do you laugh out loud when you say this?"

She can't bear any of them to be wronged?

Then where was Madam Lin when she was wronged and bullied in the past three years?

She was coaxing Lin Yuan and pampering Lin Yuan!

How could she say this so comfortably?

This was the first time Qiao Nian talked back to Madam Lin like this after returning from the laundry department.

In the past, she always saw through it but didn't say it.

But some people, they told so many lies that they took them as true, and in the end, they regarded her as a bad person.

So she felt that she still needed to make it clear.

Mrs. Lin had never thought that Qiao Nian would talk to her like this, and her breathing stagnated, and tears instantly fell.

This scene happened to be seen by Lin Ye.

He heard that the emperor had granted the marriage and rewarded many things, and wanted to take advantage of Qiao Nian's good mood today to come and ease the relationship.

Therefore, even if he needed the help of servants, he came limping.

Who would have thought that what he saw was his mother and sister being bullied and crying.

She was furious and shouted at Qiao Nian, "Qiao Nian, what are you doing? You are bullying me now because of the marriage granted by the emperor?"
