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

"Miss!" Ningshuang was frightened and rushed to support Qiao Nian. Tears welled up in her eyes. "Miss, what happened to you?"

What sin did the young marquis commit to make her young lady like this!

Qiao Nian's whole body was trembling. Such a familiar feeling made her feel cold in her heart.

"It's the effect of the medicine." Her voice was a little weak. She couldn't help but think of herself shaking so badly when she was held in Jing Yan's arms.

She was even confused at the end and almost reached out to untie Jing Yan's belt...

Fortunately, Jing Yan held her hand at the critical moment, and after the effect of the medicine, she finally woke up.

She thought she had survived the effect of the medicine.

But she didn't expect it to happen again at this moment!

Xiao Cui was a little panicked, "Then, what should I do? I'll go find the doctor?"

Qiao Nian shook her head hurriedly.

She couldn't find the doctor.

When the medicine took effect, she would not be able to control her words and deeds. Although the doctor was old, he was a man after all.

Now in her eyes, the only person who can remain calm in the face of a woman's arrogance is probably the deputy general Jing.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian took a deep breath and said, "Go get some cold water."

She had heard the maids in the laundry department talk about aphrodisiacs, saying that soaking in cold water would be good.

Although she didn't know if it would work, it was much better than finding a man to see her at this moment.

Ningshuang nodded repeatedly, helped Qiao Nian lie down on the bed, and then hurried out the door.

Not long after, the bathtub was filled with cold water.

Ningshuang helped Qiao Nian sit in the bathtub.

Although it was already spring, sitting in cold water like this would still feel freezing cold.

But fortunately, such freezing cold suppressed the burning fire in the body, and also made Qiao Nian's gradually confused mind gradually clear.

She saw Ningshuang standing by her side, looking at her with a worried look on her face, and couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry, just get through it."

Ningshuang never thought that the lady would still have the heart to comfort her at this time, and her tears fell all of a sudden, but she forced herself not to cry out loud, so as not to make the lady more worried.

But, Qiao Nian still heard Ningshuang's sobbing.

But she didn't know how to comfort her.

Not to mention Ningshuang, even she herself felt that her life was too bitter.

She hated cold water the most. When she came out of the laundry department, she thought she would never touch cold water again in her life.

But she didn't expect that she had been soaked in cold water again and again in the past few months.

She knew that the Lin family's claim that they treated her as their own child was just talk, and she was mentally prepared that she would no longer have anything to do with the Lin family after accompanying the old lady.

But...

First, they hid the physical and mental disabilities of the Ming Wang from her, and watched her die.

Then they did such dirty things as kidnapping and drugging to destroy her innocence!

She didn't understand how they could do such a thing!

They were her dearest and most beloved people after all!

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian suddenly shuddered.

I don't know if it was because the drug properties were suppressed and she felt the chill, or because her heart was too cold.

She thought that Mrs. Lin was really looking for a good marriage for her. Even if there were interests involved, Prince Ming could indeed be a shortcut for her to get out of the Marquis' Mansion.

But she didn't expect that this shortcut almost cost her life.

Now, Prince Ming was captured by the bandits.

She had heard that the bandits in Yongbei were extremely rampant, and the government sent troops several times but failed.

She had just grasped Prince Ming's lifeline, so that he would not dare to attack her in the future, but she didn't expect...

I don't know if it was the collision of the drug properties, Qiao Nian's brain began to feel dizzy, and finally couldn't resist and fainted.

When she woke up again, it was the next day.

She was lying on the bed, and she had changed into clean clothes.

"Miss, you are awake!" Ningshuang stood by the bed and looked very happy, but the two pairs of dark circles in front of her told her that this girl must have been guarding her all night!

Qiao Nian sat up, but she felt weak all over.

Ningshuang helped Qiao Nian get off the bed and put on her clothes, then said, "Miss, I secretly asked the palace doctor, and he said that we have to find the person who gave the drug to know how to make the antidote. Otherwise, I am afraid it will cause trouble."

Qiao Nian frowned, "Is the young marquis back?"

Ningshuang shook her head, "No, he hasn't returned to the palace since he entered the palace last night."

But the medicine was bought by Lin Ye. If he doesn't return to the palace, where can she ask for the antidote?

Without the antidote, Qiao Nian is not sure whether the drug will work again.

Unexpectedly, a maid outside suddenly came in, "Miss, Deputy General Jing wants to see you."

Jing Yan?

When mentioning him, Qiao Nian couldn't help but think of her own loss of composure yesterday, and her cheeks unconsciously turned red.

Seeing this, Ning Shuang suddenly widened her eyes, "Miss, why are you shy when Vice General Jing comes?"

It's not like he hasn't been here before!

Qiao Nian was stunned, and glared at Ning Shuang like a pout, "How can I be shy? It was Vice General Jing who saved me yesterday. Why don't you invite him in?"

Ning Shuang covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes, I'll go right away!"

After saying that, she ran away.

Ning Shuang welcomed people into the flower hall.

When Qiao Nian came, Jing Yan was drinking tea.

When he saw Qiao Nian, he didn't even have time to swallow the tea in his mouth and hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Meet Miss Qiao."

Qiao Nian was stunned, "Why is Vice General Jing injured like this?"

I saw that Jing Yan's eye circles were black and blue, his cheeks were slightly swollen, and the corners of his mouth were even more purple.

Jing Yan is Xiao Heng's lieutenant. Who dares to hurt him like this?

Qiao Nian was shocked, but she didn't need to think carefully to understand.

It's Xiao Heng.

She frowned and couldn't help but stepped forward and asked, "But is it because of me?"

Jing Yan rescued her yesterday, was Xiao Heng angry?

Jing Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury."

After saying that, he picked up the medicine on the side and handed it to Qiao Nian, "This is... the antidote for that."

Qiao Nian was stunned and took the medicine bottle from Jing Yan's hand, a little curious about how he knew.

Jing Yan seemed to see what Qiao Nian was thinking and smiled honestly, "Yesterday, the young marquis had an argument with shopkeeper Huang who owns a medicine shop in Zuixiang Building. Shopkeeper Huang's shop is next to Wanhua Building, so I tried to test it out. I went and asked. This is the antidote."

I see.

Qiao Nian was grateful in her heart. Thinking of what kind of disaster she would have caused if it wasn't for Jing Yan yesterday, her heart started to heat up unconsciously. She bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Lieutenant General Jing. If he hadn't saved me, I'm afraid Qiao Nian wouldn't be here today." It’s impossible to survive.”

Lin Ye and Xiao Heng both thought that as long as they destroyed her innocence, they would be able to get their wish.

But they never thought that with Qiao Nian's temperament, even death would not satisfy them!

Jing Yan saw Qiao Nian about to salute and hurriedly reached out to help him.

Unexpectedly, his hand happened to touch Qiao Nian's hand.

The palms of their hands touched, and the memory of yesterday's confusion and obsession rushed into their minds...
