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

This scene happened to be seen by Lin Yuan who was still looking back three times.

Her eyes widened immediately, wondering why Xiao Heng and Qiao Nian suddenly hugged each other!

Xiao Qingnuan's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

She said that Qiao Nian deliberately wanted to seduce Xiao Heng...

So, just now Qiao Nian asked her to kneel in the ancestral hall just to get her away so that she could seduce Brother Heng?

She was extremely panicked, and she wanted to rush over and question the two of them, but...

But she was scared.

The words Xiao Heng said on Chunshan Street still echoed in her ears. She knew to some extent what Brother Heng was thinking, and she was afraid that her rushing to question him would be like the unloved first wives in the story books.

She was afraid that Xiao Heng would stand by Qiao Nian's side and protect Qiao Nian just like he protected her just now.

If that were the case, wouldn't her and Qiao Nian's positions in Xiao Heng's heart have undergone earth-shaking changes?

No, she doesn't want that!

She allowed Xiao Heng to have a place for Qiao Nian in his heart, but she wanted the biggest share!

So, she immediately withdrew her sight, letting her hot tears blur everything.

Xiaocui on the side couldn't help but worry, "Miss, why don't we go find the master and madam! If they know that the eldest lady is so shameless and throws herself into General Xiao's arms, they will definitely punish the eldest lady!"

But who knows, Lin Yuan scolded her in a low voice, "Do you think my relationship with my sister is too good? She already hates me like that..."

"But..." Xiao Cui wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lin Yuan, "Okay, come with me to the ancestral hall!"

After that, she strode away, not daring to look back again.

But if she could look back, even just for a glance, she would be able to see how Qiao Nian pushed Xiao Heng away and how he took several steps back.

In that way, Xiao Heng was really regarded as a scourge.

So much so that Xiao Heng couldn't even take back the hand that was hugging Qiao Nian, so he just stared at her blankly.

It was obvious that she liked to stick to him the most in the past. If there was an opportunity to stick to him, she would definitely not let it go.

But now...

Is it really because you are already married to someone that you keep your distance from him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng's eyes showed a bit of displeasure!

Qiao Nian knew Xiao Heng best, and she was also most familiar with his expression.

But obviously he wasn't the one who asked her to stay away in the past?

She took a deep breath, looked at Xiao Heng's angry eyes, and unconsciously took another step back.

But this step seemed to stimulate Xiao Heng's last nerve.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, and then walked towards Qiao Nian.

His steps were slow, but each step carried a terrifying danger.

Qiao Nian subconsciously stepped back, but saw a smile on Xiao Heng's lips.

Qiao Nian knew very well what Xiao Heng's expression meant.

She knew even more that the general in front of her, who had conquered the wolf and lived in Xu, was far from the gentleman he seemed.

She saw with her own eyes that Xiao Heng forced the aunt who bullied his mother to jump into a well.

At that time, Xiao Heng had such an expression.

Although the aunt was rescued later, she never dared to appear in front of Xiao Heng's mother again for the rest of her life.

And now, Xiao Heng was looking at him with that expression.

Fear surged in Qiao Nian's heart, and even her steps back were a little messy.

Ningshuang seemed to have noticed something was wrong and stepped forward, "General Xiao, my lady was seriously injured just yesterday. Her body is still weak and she can't bear the stimulation."

Xiao Heng's eyes were attracted by Ningshuang and finally moved away from Qiao Nian's face.

"Who do you think you are?"

He asked coldly, but his light voice was like a boulder, easily knocking back Ningshuang.

Ningshuang actually didn't dare to say a word anymore.

He was afraid that if he said one more word, Xiao Heng would cut his tongue.

I just thought, this is the Hou Mansion after all. No matter how angry General Xiao is, he will not do anything to her young lady, right?

Xiao Heng looked at Qiao Nian again, and the face in his mind that couldn't stop being happy when he saw him gradually merged with the current face with fear.

A strange feeling arose in my heart for no reason and became stronger and stronger.

He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Should you come over, or should I?"

He seemed to want to use such threatening questions to regain his initiative over her.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian stood still and did not move.

She didn't understand what Xiao Heng meant when he asked this question at this moment, but she knew the answer.

"There is no need for General Xiao to come over, and I will not come over. The distance now is the best distance between you and me from now on."

Even if she knew that Xiao Heng was angry, even if she knew that Xiao Heng was in danger, even if she was a little afraid of him in her heart.

But she still wanted to say this.

This distance of two or three steps is not particularly close, nor is it particularly far. It is a distance that allows them to maintain their superficial politeness without crossing the line.

There is no way she could cross the line.

Neither can he!

Xiao Heng naturally heard the implication of Qiao Nian's words, and smiled solemnly, "What does Miss Qiao think Xiao wants to do?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in this laughter, which seemed to be mocking Qiao Nian's pretentiousness.

Qiao Nian was a little embarrassed for a moment.

Yeah, what could he do to her?

She loved him so much, and when she was chasing him, he didn't even look at her. How could he do anything to her now?

An inexplicable pain spread in her heart. Qiao Nian bit her lip and finally said nothing.

She just bowed to Xiao Heng and then turned to walk towards the old lady's yard.

Unexpectedly, his voice came again, "Nian Nian."

Familiar voice, familiar tone, in a trance, Qiao Nian thought she had returned to three years ago.

But, was it good three years ago?

No, not good at all.

Three years ago, she would always put Xiao Heng first. For a look from him, she couldn't even say a word to defend herself.

She hated herself three years ago!

But Qiao Nian was still stopped by this call. She stood there with her back to him and didn't have the courage to turn around.

He only heard his voice behind him, low and hoarse, "The Ming King is not a good man, you can't marry him."

Even if the imperial decree of marriage is now here, he still can't help but persuade her.

Probably, it's for the past relationship!

But Qiao Nian just thought it was ridiculous.

She knew that Xiao Heng would be able to see the strangeness of this marriage, and he would also know that she had no say in all this.

So what's the point of these words?

She still didn't turn around to look at Xiao Heng, but just replied lightly, "Okay, if General Xiao can regret the marriage, I won't marry."

After saying this, she strode away without stopping.

Because she knew that Xiao Heng would never regret the marriage, and she would never refuse to marry.

She and him would eventually become strangers...

Because she didn't look back, Qiao Nian naturally didn't see that when Xiao Heng looked at her leaving, there was an unspeakable desire in his eyes...
