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

Qiao Nian was stunned.

Perhaps she recalled too many past scenes today, so she couldn't bear to leave resolutely.

Then she heard Lord Lin's voice trembling slightly, "Even if you come as a guest, it is common for the host to stay for a meal. You can't wait to leave like this?"

She came to the Marquis's Mansion today, and she probably didn't say as much to him and her mother as she did to the palace doctor!

He also knew that Qiao Nian came today, mostly for the palace doctor, and he knew that everyone outside was saying that she was a disciple of the miracle doctor, but in fact she was learning from the palace doctor.

He didn't mind at all, and was even happy about it.

He just felt that the palace doctor said that he would never leave the Marquis' Mansion in this life, so Qiao Nian would have to come to the Marquis' Mansion from time to time in the future if she recognized the palace doctor as her master.

At least, they could see her more.

Behind Lord Lin, there was also the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion.

He also watched Qiao Nian grow up since she was a child.

As a servant, the housekeeper couldn't say anything about what happened later, but now he felt bitter when he saw the Marquis's Mansion was in such a state of decline.

He immediately said to Qiao Nian, "Miss, the master has ordered the kitchen to cook a lot of dishes you like. You can stay and have a meal with the master and the lady!"

Lord Lin's eyes were filled with tears, and his eyes were full of expectation.

Qiao Nian also knew that Lord Lin and Madam Lin needed her at this moment.

Lin Yuan died, and Lin Ye also went to war with the army. It was unknown when he would be able to come back.

Lord Lin and Madam Lin now had no one to take care of them, so they naturally wanted her to stay.

But Qiao Nian still shook her head, "No, I have something important to do, so I have to go back first."

The voice was light and sounded very gentle, but the alienation and indifference mixed in the gentleness made Lord Lin's heart tremble.

In fact, for Qiao Nian, staying for a meal was not a difficult thing.

The difficult part was what Lord Lin and Madam Lin might say and what they might ask for.

She was afraid that when all the memories of the past came flooding back, she would forget the pain.

At that moment, she bowed to Lord Lin and then turned and left.

Looking at Qiao Nian's back, Lord Lin felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife.

It was as if an invisible hand was pinching him tightly in his throat, so that all his words were stuck in his throat, unable to go up or down, and he felt so much pain all over his body.

However, watching Qiao Nian step out of the threshold of the mansion, Lord Lin finally broke through the barrier and shouted, "What do you want to do to forgive your father?!"

Qiao Nian's figure suddenly stopped.

I only heard the heart-wrenching voice behind me, "I know I was wrong. I was blind and easily believed the slander, forcing my own daughter to be a slave for three years and suffer humiliation. I really know I was wrong! I apologize to you! You stay and have a meal with me, okay?"

At the end, it was a humble plea.

Qiao Nian's body did not move at all.

Only those hands, I don't know when they were clenched into fists, and the nails pinched into his palms fiercely, but he didn't feel any pain.

The only pain was his heart.

Seeing that Qiao Nian still had no intention of turning back, Lord Lin finally cried out, "Niannian, you, do you have to wait for your father to die before you forgive him?"

He is her biological father!

Even if he did something wrong, can't he forgive him for the grace of giving birth to him?

Only when he dies can he hear her call him daddy again?

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, took a deep breath, and finally turned around.

She looked at Lord Lin, who was already in tears, bowed and saluted, and then said, "Mrs. Lin is in need of someone to take care of her now. Lord Lin, please take care of yourself. Qiao Nian will come to visit you another day."

After that, she saluted again and turned to leave.

This time, Lord Lin watched Qiao Nian disappear outside the mansion, and finally did not stop her.

The housekeeper could not help but persuade, "Lord, don't be sad, the young lady will figure it out."

Unexpectedly, Lord Lin raised his hand to wipe away his tears and laughed.

"What are you sad about? She just asked me to take care of myself and said she would come to see me another day. Didn't you hear it?"

He understood that with Qiao Nian's temperament, it was not easy to say these two sentences.

With just these two sentences, he was already satisfied.

At this time, in the carriage, Ningshuang looked at Qiao Nian with a worried look, "Miss, are you okay?"

She could see that the young lady was not in a good state after seeing Mrs. Lin.

After finally recovering a little from the palace doctor, she was called by Lord Lin again.

Thinking of Lord Lin's sobbing just now, Ningshuang knew that Qiao Nian must be heartbroken.

After listening to Ningshuang's inquiry, Qiao Nian seemed to come back to her senses, and slowly turned her head to look at Ningshuang, "Ningshuang, am I very cruel?"

It was just a meal, Lord Lin had already begged so hard, but she still left so straightforwardly.

Ningshuang's eyebrows were low, she did not rashly say no, but thought about it, and then said.

"Perhaps others will think that you are really cruel today, but I know how much you have suffered! You are unwilling to stay today, it must be because you can't get over it. If that's the case, why force yourself to obey those words like 'filial piety comes first among all virtues'? Those who say you are cruel must have never suffered as much as you have!"

Looking at Ningshuang's face as she said these words seriously, Qiao Nian couldn't help but curl his lips, "Really? Is this the truth you figured out, or are you just saying this because you stand on my side?"

Ningshuang also laughed, "Of course, it's the truth I figured out when I stand on the young lady's side!"

It makes sense after all!

Qiao Nian's smile deepened, but there was still worry between his brows.

How could Ningshuang not see it?

He then gently advised, "Miss, if you live for yourself, you can't care about what others think. How many people in this world are really good for you? Just do good for yourself! If you are really worried about Madam's situation now, go to the Marquis' Mansion more often. If you feel uncomfortable, don't even look in the direction of the Marquis' Mansion! Everything is up to your heart!"

At this point, Ningshuang seemed to have thought of something, and her voice became louder, "Yes, yes, those are the three words that the prince often says to you!"

"Don't think too much!"

"Don't think too much."

The two said in unison, and then they were both stunned, and then laughed out loud.

Qiao Nian even remembered the expression of Chu Zhiyi when he said this.

He looked serious and a little fierce, but there was a bit of tenderness between his eyebrows.

Brother Chu...is everything okay?
