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

As if being electrocuted, both of them withdrew their hands.

Jing Yan took three steps back, and his bronze cheeks turned red.

Ningshuang was on the side, so surprised that his eyes almost popped out of his head.

And Qiao Nian couldn't help but show a bit of shyness when she thought about her gaffe yesterday, and didn't know what to say for a while.

The air became quiet inexplicably, but within a few breaths, it seemed like an hour had passed.

It was Jing Yan who broke the silence first, "Well, I have some important matters to deal with in the army, so I'll go ahead."

With that said, Jing Yan bowed to Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian also bowed in return and quietly watched Jing Yan leave.

Unexpectedly, Ningshuang suddenly came up and snickered, "Miss, look at Lieutenant General Jing's ears, they are so red that they look like they are about to ripen!"

It was just a touch with her young lady, but I didn’t expect it to be so innocent!

Thinking about it, Ningshuang came to the conclusion, "He must like Miss!"

Qiao Nian was still secretly teasing Jing Yan's ears like Ning Shuang, but when she heard Ning Shuang's words, she suddenly darkened her face, "Don't talk nonsense!"

She is engaged to Prince Ming.

How could she feel embarrassed if Jing Yan's position as deputy general, which he had worked so hard to earn, was ruined because of a few gossips?

Ningshuang was shocked to realize that she had said nonsense, and she patted her mouth twice, as if she had thought of something, and asked, "By the way, Miss, what do you want to do with Xiaocui?"

Mentioning Xiao Cui, Qiao Nian's face darkened a little, "Break her mouth and then expel her from the house!"

Hearing this, Ningshuang was shocked, "But Xiaocui is your sister now, and the second young lady will definitely come crying again."

Although Ningshuang didn't believe that Xiaocui was related to her lady, others didn't think so, so such punishment would only make outsiders think that her lady was too cruel.

In addition, every time the second young lady comes crying in front of her young lady, her young lady is always the one who gets bullied, so Ningshuang is very worried.

But Qiao Nian snorted coldly, "Even if she is my sister, she should be punished if she does something wrong. Now just expelling her from the house will definitely give her an advantage!"

With that said, Qiao Nian turned around and leaned towards Ningshuang's ear, and said in a low voice, "After Xiao Cui leaves the house, send someone smarter to follow her. Be sure to tell her who she met and what she said. Complain to me."

Only then did Ningshuang realize that Qiao Nian's expulsion of Xiaocui from the house was a ruse. She immediately nodded and went down to make arrangements.

Qiao Nian originally wanted to watch Xiaocui being tortured.

But unexpectedly, someone in the palace suddenly sent word that the imperial concubine had asked her to enter the palace.

Qiao Nian thought that it must be because of King Ming.

As the quasi-daughter-in-law of Concubine De, it was appropriate for her to enter the palace at this time to accompany the concubine and comfort her.

Therefore, without thinking much, Qiao Nian entered the palace.

But who would have expected that when he saw Concubine De Gui for the first time, Qiao Nian slapped her hard on the cheek before she could salute.

"Crack!"

The extremely clear sound was accompanied by Concubine De Gui's heartbreaking cry, "It's you bitch! It was you who forced my son to leave the capital, and it was you who caused him to be captured by bandits. If there is anything wrong with him, I will You must be buried with him!"

Qiao Nian was stunned on the spot and even forgot to salute.

King Ming was clearly deceived into going to Yaowang Valley by Lin Ye, so what did it have to do with her?

But she was so stunned, which only made Concubine De Gui more and more excited, "Bitch, you still don't kneel down!"

After saying that, another slap came down.

The beating made Qiao Nian stagger.

She covered her face and looked at Concubine De's excited and collapsed look, with countless grievances and anger boiling in her heart.

Can……

Qiao Nian lowered his eyes and slowly knelt down.

Concubine De's mood did not improve at all. She pointed at Qiao Nian's nose and cursed angrily, "You are just a bitch born of a bitch! I thought you were pitiful, so I reluctantly allowed you to marry Qier. , but you, how dare you dislike him! If it weren't for you, how could he suddenly leave Beijing and go to Yaowang Valley!"

Qiao Nian frowned, she knew that Concubine De Gui must have known about her threat to Prince Ming.

However, her threat to King Ming was not out of disgust, but purely to protect herself, to prevent King Ming from beating her or other women without any scruples again!

She didn't know that Lin Ye would lie to King Ming that there was a way to regenerate a severed limb in Yaowang Valley, and she never thought that King Ming would be captured by bandits from Yongbei!

But she also knew that her argument would only add fuel to the fire at this moment, so she knelt on the ground, lowered her eyes, and said nothing.

Seeing that she didn't resist at all, Concubine De's mood calmed down a little, but her chest was still heaving violently, and the tears on her face had never dried up.

She only has one son, Prince Ming. If something happens to Prince Ming, she may not be able to survive.

The maid on the side was busy helping Concubine De Gui sit down, "My Lady, don't worry, it's important to pay attention to your body. Your Highness Prince Ming will definitely come back safe and sound!"

While talking, the palace maid handed over a cup of hot tea to make Concubine De Gui calm down.

Unexpectedly, Concubine De Gui took the tea cup and threw it at Qiao Nian.

The cup hit Qiao Nian's shoulder heavily, and the hot tea instantly soaked her clothes, making Qiao Nian stiff.

But Concubine De was obviously not relieved by this. She pointed at Qiao Nian and said sternly, "You are just a worthless life. I will beat you if you want. Even if you beat me to death, what can I do? Don't forget that it was Qi'er who gave you the confidence to challenge the people in the Marquis' Mansion! You dare to dislike him! What? You can't live without that thing, right?"

Concubine De's scolding became more and more unpleasant.

The senior palace maid beside her couldn't stand it anymore and kept persuading her, "Don't worry, your majesty. The prince will definitely be blessed by heaven!"

But Concubine De understood that her Qi'er was not a lucky person at all.

Otherwise, how could he have hurt his life back then?

What's more, the bandits who kidnapped the Ming Wang this time were the mountain bandits in Yongbei, the mountain bandits that the court sent troops to suppress for two years but failed to eliminate completely!

This time, they dared to kidnap Qi'er so blatantly, and even sent someone to send a message to the palace to let the emperor know. It was nothing more than contempt and declaration of war against the entire court!

How could they let Qi'er go so easily!

When she thought about the inhuman torture that Ming Wang might suffer after being abducted by the bandits, Concubine De felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe.

And the instigator of all this was Qiao Nian!

If she could be patient, if she didn't threaten Qi'er with her disability, how could Qi'er be so eager to leave Beijing, how could she be captured by the bandits!

Thinking of this, Concubine De's tears became more fierce, and even her voice became more torn and fierce, "You kneel here today, and when there is news about Qi'er, you get up!"
