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

Qiao Nian returned to the days of hiding in Fanghe Garden without seeing anyone.

Except to visit the old lady, she almost never left her room.

Firstly, the injury on her back needed to rest, and secondly, she was really tired of seeing other people in this house.

Especially Lin Yuan.

I was really afraid that if she saw me accidentally, she would come up to me again, and I don't know what kind of tricks she would do.

In fact, Lin Yuan has been here in the past few days.

What can I say? The largest red plum in Luomeiyuan has bloomed. It is very beautiful and the fragrance is very charming. She knew that Qiao Nian liked plum blossoms, so she specially came to invite Qiao Nian there in person.

But this time, let alone informing Qiao Nian, Ningshuang didn't even let Lin Yuan in through the door of Fangheyuan. She only said that her young lady was still in bed recovering from her injuries and it was inconvenient to go out.

No matter how ignorant Lin Yuan was, there was no way he would drag an injured person to enjoy the plum blossoms, so the matter was left undisturbed.

Later, when Qiao Nian found out about this from other maids, she specially rewarded Ningshuang with a hairpin.

Those who would bring bad luck to her should indeed be kept away.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the Lantern Festival came, and Ningshuang excitedly sent a letter early in the morning, "Miss, it's a letter from Prince Ming!"

Qiao Nian was dressing up and frowned slightly after hearing Ningshuang's words.

To be honest, except for people from the Hou Mansion, she was actually not very willing to see Prince Ming.

There were too many people taking advantage of her, and she just wanted to be alone.

However, her marriage to Prince Ming was already finalized. After all, they were both people who would see each other every day in the future. Even if she was reluctant, she still had to read this letter.

He immediately reached out and took it, but when he looked at the envelope, he couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Ningshuang on the side was extremely curious, "Miss, what did King Ming say?"

Seeing the gossip on her face, Qiao Nian could only open the envelope and said, "Prince Ming wrote to me, why are you so excited?"

Ningshuang smiled sheepishly, "Hey, I just thought that Prince Ming wrote to the lady to ask her to meet!"

Isn't this meeting between an unmarried man and woman arousing people's imagination?

What's more, Prince Ming had protected her young lady like this at Fahua Temple before, so she had a good impression of Prince Ming.

Qiao Nian sighed softly, "Well, invite me to go see the lanterns tonight."

"Yes! Today is the Lantern Festival. A lantern party is held every year on Chunshan Street. Many unmarried men and women will meet to watch the lanterns today, and then naturally a happy marriage will be formed..." Ningshuang's tone became more and more intense. The more ambiguous it is.

Qiao Nian didn't understand at this moment. She just picked up the envelope again and asked, "Has anyone else opened this letter?"

Ningshuang nodded, "No matter who the letter is addressed to, the Marquis must personally read it before sending it."

Qiao Nian didn't know this.

After all, no one had ever written to her before.

Or maybe, the Marquis Mansion is now in danger, so Lord Lin is so cautious?

She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't think much more about it.

After all, her relationship with Prince Ming was brokered by the Hou family. Even if Marquis Lin knew that Prince Ming had an appointment with her, he would not say anything.

That day, when dusk fell, Qiao Nian took Ningshuang out.

In the letter, Prince Ming asked her to meet at Fulai Teahouse on Chunshan Street.

Qiao Nian knew that the teahouse was indeed a good place to view lanterns.

But before the carriage reached Chunshan Street, it was already blocked by crowds of people who came to admire the lanterns.

The coachman said helplessly to the inside of the carriage, "Miss, the carriage can't pass. I'm afraid you have to take a few steps forward."

Just one more intersection is Chunshan Street.

Qiao Nian opened his eyes to the crowd in front of him. It was really overwhelming, and then he responded, "Okay."

She and Ningshuang got off the carriage together, told the coachman to pick them up later, and then followed the crowd to Chunshan Street.

Although we haven't arrived at Chunshan Street yet, there are already many stalls on the street, selling many novel and interesting gadgets.

Ningshuang was still young after all, so she couldn't walk when she saw those things. "Miss, look, this mask is so beautiful!"

Ningshuang quickly walked to a stall and picked up a mask with opera facial makeup, "Miss, this will definitely look good!"

Qiao Nian didn't like it very much and frowned, but before she could speak, Ningshuang had already bought the mask.

She came to Qiao Nian excitedly and said, "Miss Dai, take a look!"

Seeing her looking so happy, Qiao Nian couldn't refuse, so she could only pick up the mask and put it on.

Unexpectedly, after putting on the mask, Ningshuang disappeared from his eyes.

She was startled when she heard Ningshuang's voice coming from the crowd not far away, "Miss, look at this little man! It's so fun!"

However, there were too many people, and Qiao Nian couldn't see where Ningshuang was. She could only follow the sound and look forward, but she never found Ningshuang's shadow.

Inexplicably, Qiao Nian panicked.

She didn't know why, but an inexplicable chill rose from the soles of her feet, making her whole body panic.

She raised her voice and shouted, "Ningshuang, where are you?"

"Miss! Over here!" Ningshuang's voice came. Qiao Nian looked along the voice and could see a small voice waving in the crowd.

She felt more relieved now and walked quickly in the direction of Ningshuang.

But he didn't want to be tripped by a passerby, and he fell down.

With a cry of surprise, the mask fell off his face.

Qiao Nian thought, it was time for another big loss today.

But, the expected pain did not come, instead, the familiar and palpitating breath swept her whole body.

When she stood firm, she was shocked to find that she had been embraced by Xiao Heng.

"Be careful."

His low voice came to her ears, but it was a little hoarse, and it inexplicably revealed some bewitching taste.

Qiao Nian's heart jumped uncontrollably.

Inexplicably, he forced her into the cave with scarlet eyes in his mind.

Her heart was even more panicked.

But soon, a strong force pushed Qiao Nian away before she could react.

It was Xiao Qingnuan.

"Whose lady is so shameless that she rushed to a man's arms!" Xiao Qingnuan glared at Qiao Nian hatefully, "It turned out to be the famous future Ming Wangfei, Miss Qiao!"

A famous person, to mock her experience in Fahua Temple some time ago.

A future Ming Wangfei, to remind her to pay attention to her identity.

Qiao Nian's eyebrows sank. Not wanting to pay attention to Xiao Qingnuan, he bowed to Xiao Heng and said, "Thank you, General Xiao, for helping me."

"Don't try to play tricks on me!" Xiao Qingnuan stepped forward and pushed Qiao Nian again, "I saw with my own eyes that you clearly aimed at my brother's arms! Qiao Nian, do you have any shame? My brother's legitimate fiancée is still here! Are you blind?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian was stunned, and then he noticed that there was another person standing not far behind Xiao Heng.

She was petite and had a rosy face.

But her eyes were filled with tears, so pitiful...
