Seeing Lin Yuan's kindness being repelled by Qiao Nian, Lin Ye immediately retracted the guilt in his heart and said coldly, "You don't have to be so yin and yang. Why didn't you tell me if you were injured? You didn't have a mouth?"

If she had told her earlier, he would have gone to the Royal Hospital to get some plaster and give it to her!

"I just wanted to say that the young Marquis didn't give me a chance." Qiao Nian's voice was calm, and his hands were finally withdrawn from Mrs. Lin's hands.

Lin Ye's eyes darkened. She had already returned home, but she still refused to call him brother?

The anger in his heart did not subside, and he shouted, "I would also like to ask, after all, you are also the daughter of my Marquis Mansion. You have been practicing martial arts with the martial arts master in the Mansion since you were a child. So what masters are there in the Huanyi Bureau who can kill Are you so hurt?"

One sentence made Qiao Nian's heart suddenly freeze.

She lowered her eyes and pulled down her sleeves, but her soft voice carried a chill that made people shiver, "I resisted at the beginning. As the young marquis said, those maids are indeed no match for me, but If they can't beat me, they will use dirty tricks in the dark. For example, they would pour cold water into the basin on my bed while I was sleeping. When I was eating, others would ladle soup for me, but they would ladle me swill. All the weight they washed was passed on to me.”

Having said this, she just raised her eyes to look at Lin Ye. Her cold eyes clearly contained no emotion, but Lin Ye's hands couldn't help but tremble.

"I also asked the nun in charge for help, but all I got was a whipping. So gradually, I stopped resisting. I would sleep on the floor when the bed was wet, and I could still eat even if there was slop in my food. I could eat it, and one time my mama was so cruel that she almost beat me to death. She was probably still worried about the Hou family, and after that she wasn't as cruel as before. "

Seeing the disbelief in Lin Ye's eyes, Qiao Nian's lips curled up with a touch of sarcasm, "So, the young marquis thinks that I suffered those things on purpose to gain your guilt and regret?"

"Don't be stupid, how can I still not recognize my identity? You may feel guilty, but you will never regret it. When you hear it now, you are probably just glad that it was me who was sent to the clothes bureau, not the one who was punished. Lin Yuan, right?"

Looking at the question in Qiao Nian's eyes, Lin Ye felt that there was a hand on his heart, tearing his heart apart.

However, he couldn't even utter a retort.

"Nian Nian, don't say anything anymore!" Mrs. Lin covered her chest and cried so hard that her breathing was a little messed up. "It's my mother's fault. It's my mother who is sorry for you."

"Ma'am, I'm not sorry." Qiao Nian's voice was still soft and gentle, sounding very gentle.

But this tenderness is completely different from Lin Yuan's.

Lin Yuan's gentleness makes people feel heartbroken and comfortable.

But what Qiao Nian said was like a soft sword, cutting people's blood with every word.

"Madam has raised me for fifteen years and has the grace to raise me. She should do everything she should."

"But you have a grudge in your heart!" Lin Ye spoke again. The torn pain in his heart only made him inexplicably irritable.

As if he had seen through Qiao Nian, he sneered and said, "Everything you are doing now is intentional. You are deliberately cold and distant to us, and you deliberately fell down in front of your mother. Did you also use it in front of Xiao Heng?" Did you use this trick to make him feel distressed before you came back in his carriage? Lin Nian, please understand that Xiao Heng is no longer your fiancé, he is now Yuan'er's fiancé, and they are about to get married!"

Looking at Lin Ye's face full of anger, Qiao Nian couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After all, Lin Ye had been her brother for fifteen years. Every word of Lin Ye struck her heart accurately.

Fortunately, her heart has been tempered for three years and has become immune to all poisons.

"Young Lord Marquis is busy with things. He probably forgot that he pushed me down the small building three years ago. At that time, I sprained my foot. Before it recovered, I went to the clothes bureau again. In the past three years, my foot injury has been... It happens often, and today I was twisted again when the young marquis kicked me off the carriage, so I really couldn't stand firm just now. As for General Xiao... How could the young marquis think that he would have mercy on me? Am I still too disdainful of Miss Lin?"

These words only made Lin Yuan feel ashamed.

Lin Ye couldn't help but glance at Lin Yuan worriedly, and then shouted to Qiao Nian, "Don't try to sow discord here. I know your temper best. Even after three years, you are still the same." You will be punished! I warn you, don’t try to bully Yuan’er while I’m here!”

"Brother..." Lin Yuan's crying voice sounded, "Don't be like this, my sister has never done anything to me."

"Yuan'er, you are so kind!" Lin Ye frowned and raised his finger to Qiao Nian, "But she is different from you. She is the most thoughtful and the most vindictive! Let's throw her into the clothes bureau for three I ignored you for a year, and now she will definitely take revenge on us! She knows that my mother loves her the most, but she is deliberately distant and cold, and deliberately exposes her wounds in front of her. Look how much she is crying!"

Lin Yuan looked at Mrs. Lin aside. She was indeed crying uncontrollably. She was leaning on the maid beside her and panting.

Listening to Lin Ye's words, Mrs. Lin seemed to want to refute. She raised her hand and waved it, but she couldn't say a word.

Lin Yuan thought, she had never seen her mother like this before. Even when Qiao Nian was sent to the Clothing Bureau, her mother only shed a few tears and even comforted her!

But now...

Could it be that, as brother said, all this was done intentionally by Qiao Nian?

Qiao Nian, how could he be so scheming?

She couldn't help but look at Qiao Nian again, but saw that Qiao Nian was also looking at her. His eyes were as cold as frost, but extremely sharp, like a knife that cut deeply into her heart, making her dare not look again and quickly looked away.

Qiao Nian, however, just bowed to Madam Lin, "It seems that Qiao Nian is not suitable to see grandma today. Please tell grandma that I will come to visit her tomorrow."

After that, Qiao Nian raised his feet and left, never looking at anyone in the Lin family again.

But the limping back was deeply imprinted in the hearts of every member of the Lin family.

Including Xiao Heng.

Lin Ye saw Xiao Heng only after Lin Yuan sent Madam Lin back.

He was standing under the corridor not far away, and he should have seen everything that happened just now clearly.

Lin Ye frowned in annoyance, and then went to meet him, "Why are you here?"

"The emperor gave me some precious medicinal herbs, and I thought I wouldn't be able to use them, so I came to honor Old Madam Lin." Xiao Heng said slowly, his face calm, as usual.

But Lin Ye seemed to have seen something, frowned, looked Xiao Heng up and down, and then said, "Tell me the truth, are you here for Nian Nian?"
