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

Before coming to the ancestral hall, Qiao Nian knew what he was about to face.

So at this moment, Qiao Nian chose to turn a blind eye to Mrs. Lin's accusation and Mr. Lin's glare.

She just walked slowly outside the ancestral hall, glanced at the maids and boys standing outside, and finally fell on Xiao Heng.

Looking into his deep eyes, Qiao Nian's heart couldn't help but sink, and a pain of being torn from her heart spread quietly.

She thought, if possible, she really hoped that someone would stand up in front of her at this moment, face the censure of the Lin family for her, and seek justice for her!

But obviously, Xiao Heng will never become this person.

Qiao Nian's gaze made Xiao Heng's heart feel inexplicably painful.

He was actually waiting for Qiao Nian to ask him for help. Then he would definitely speak for her, and Marquis Lin would definitely give him enough face.

However, she just took a deep breath, then looked away and looked at the group of servants around her, "Anyone who saw Ningshuang bite someone today, please come forward."

Hearing this, several maids and servants stood up from the crowd.

Seeing this, the aggrieved look on Lin Yuan's face became even heavier.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, felt a bit proud. He walked to Qiao Nian's side and said coldly, "How about it? I never wronged your maid, did I?"

Qiao Nian ignored him and continued, "Then, who can tell me what happened before Ningshuang bit Miss Lin?"

The young men and maids who stood up looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't dare to speak for a while.

But Lin Ye frowned, recalling what had just happened.

Before Ningshuang bit Yuan'er... Yuan'er grabbed Qiao Nian's arm.

Suddenly, as if he thought of something again, he lowered his eyes and glanced at his right hand.

On top, you can still vaguely see a trace of blood.

Could it be...

There was silence.

Qiao Nian's heart also sank to the bottom.

This group of servants were probably worried about Lin Ye, but none of them dared to speak.

Is she really alone and helpless today?

But at this moment, a servant suddenly spoke, "Before Ningshuang bit the second young lady, the second young lady grabbed the eldest lady's arm and prevented the eldest lady from leaving."

Qiao Nian looked at the young man, he looked familiar.

It must have been one of the few taels of silver that she received after going to her courtyard to carry the reward.

Once one person stands up, there will be a second one.

A maid also followed, "The slave girl was very excited when she saw Ningshuang, and kept asking the second lady to let go, but the second lady insisted on holding the eldest lady, and then Ningshuang bit her."

That's exactly what happened.

Qiao Nian glanced at the two people gratefully, then turned to look at Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin.

"You two must have understood. It was Lin Yuan who hurt me first. My maid was desperate and eager to protect her master, so she suddenly became cruel."

Qiao Nian said coldly, not wanting Xiaocui to suddenly jump out, "Miss, please don't talk nonsense. We all heard clearly just now that my lady was just holding you and didn't hurt you."

Qiao Nian had long known that they would question this, and before Xiao Cui could finish speaking, she had already rolled up her sleeves.

There were gasps all around.

I saw that Qiao Nian's arm was wrapped with a thick layer of gauze. The other parts were still clean, except for the forearm, which was soaked with blood.

That position was exactly where Lin Yuan had been holding tightly just now.

Lin Yuan was also startled, and tears fell, "I, I didn't know that my sister was still injured, I..."

"Yes! How could my young lady know that the eldest lady was so seriously injured? Ningshuang only said to let go, but she didn't say anything about the eldest lady's injury!"

Xiao Cui still looked confident.

But Qiao Nian suddenly sneered and turned to look at Mrs. Lin, "Oh? Miss Lin doesn't know about my injury? What does Mrs. Lin think?"

She heard Ningshuang say that during the few days when she was unconscious in bed, Lin Yuan followed Mrs. Lin to see her every day, and even changed her medicine.

How could Lin Yuan not know about the bloody injuries on her body!

Mrs. Lin was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your injury needs to be re-treated by the government doctor! Quick, help the eldest lady back and call the government doctor!"

At this moment, Qiao Nian only felt frustrated.

She smiled with a smile on her lips and stared at Mrs. Lin coldly, "In front of the ancestors of the Lin family, do you, the Lin family, still want to bully others like this?"

"Qiao Nian!" Lord Lin shouted coldly, "Stop talking nonsense!"

He does not allow Qiao Nian to blaspheme the ancestors of the Lin family!

But Qiao Nian just gave him a cold look, and her eyes fell on Lin Ye, "Little Marquis, let me ask you again, should you be punished if you hurt someone, or should the maid hurt the master? "

At this moment, Lin Ye could no longer say that he should be punished if he hurt someone.

Because he knew that Qiao Nian would definitely retaliate for his anger. If he said these words, Yuan'er would definitely be punished today!

So, he said coldly, "As a servant of the Hou Mansion, if you dare to murder your master, you should naturally be punished!"

"good!"

What Qiao Nian was waiting for was his words.

She knew that Lin Yuan was the apple of everyone's eye in the Lin family, and she was just an abandoned adopted daughter who was taken out of the Clothing Bureau because she still had a little bit of use value.

How could she hurt Lin Yuan?

So today, Qiao Nian's target is not Lin Yuan at all, but Xiao Cui!

She looked at Xiao Cui, and the chill on her lips made Xiao Cui panic.

"Eldest, what are you doing, Miss, staring at this slave like this? Servant, this slave was beaten by Ningshuang before she fought back!" Xiaocui said, hiding behind Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan also hurriedly protected Xiao Cui, with tears in her eyes, "Sister, if you have any questions, come to me. Xiao Cui is just a maid, she doesn't know anything..."

"You don't know anything, but you could wrongly accuse me in public three years ago?" Qiao Nian shouted, interrupting Lin Yuan's words.

But it wasn't that Qiao Nian wanted to shout, it was just that the injury on her back was so painful that she couldn't scream.

Lin Yuan was shocked. She didn't expect Qiao Nian to use three years ago as an excuse.

Not to mention Lin Yuan, everyone in the Lin family was shocked.

There are still many servants outside!

If it spreads, it will be a crime of bullying!

Marquis Lin immediately shouted, "Qiao Nian, what on earth are you going to do!"

Qiao Nian glanced at Mr. Lin, his eyes full of sarcasm, "I want justice! My maid just bit a tooth mark on Lin Yuan's arm and was beaten thirty times. How much should Xiao Cui be beaten? Big board?”

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye frowned and shouted, "That was three years ago. What do you care about now?"

"Okay, let's not talk about three years ago." Qiao Nian answered very cheerfully, but it made Lin Ye and Lin Yuan more and more uneasy.

Qiao Nian said, "How about telling me that not long ago, I risked my life to save Lin Yuan, but this cheap servant bit me back and wrongfully accused me of harming others?"

Seeing the coldness in Qiao Nian's eyes, Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat.

He knew that Xiaocui was doomed today!
