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

When Xiao Heng said this, the affection in his eyes was so obvious that even though Lin Yuan was just standing beside him and couldn't look him in the eye, she could clearly see his inner desire.

Desire for Qiao Nian!

She panicked.

She finally understood that Xiao Heng really had Qiao Nian in his heart!

Then, what about her?

What was she?

Feeling aggrieved, Lin Yuan lowered her head and let her tears fall to the ground one by one.

Unexpectedly, a handkerchief suddenly appeared in front of her.

It was Xiao Heng's handkerchief.

Lin Yuan's heart trembled slightly, and she reached out to take it.

Then Xiao Heng said lightly, "Let's go." Then he walked forward.

Lin Yuan stood there with the handkerchief, looking at Xiao Heng's tall back, and another idea came to her mind.

It was normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. Xiao Heng had been engaged to Qiao Nian for so long, so it was normal for Qiao Nian to be in his heart.

Otherwise, wouldn't he be a heartless and ungrateful man?

But he and Qiao Nian are all in the past. The emperor has granted the marriage. Even if Xiao Heng has the courage, he can't snatch a woman from the emperor's son.

So, it's impossible for him and Qiao Nian.

The person he wants to marry is always herself!

Just like this handkerchief, it was finally held in her hand, that's enough.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan actually persuaded herself.

At the moment, she sniffed, hid the handkerchief in her sleeve, and then hurriedly followed, "Brother Heng, wait for me."

She called out loudly, with her usual weakness.

But Xiao Heng's steps did not stop, and he still walked forward at a moderate pace.

Lin Yuan quickened his pace and soon caught up.

Today's Lantern Festival lanterns seem to be more lively than in previous years, and the goods on the street stalls are also more novel than in previous years.

Even Lin Yuan couldn't help but stop in front of a stall, "Brother Heng, look how unique this mask is."

Lin Yuan held a mask in both hands and shook it in front of Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng was slightly stunned, and suddenly remembered that Qiao Nian was wearing the same mask on his face just now, but later the mask fell to the ground and was kicked away by passers-by.

He unconsciously reached out and took the mask.

Lin Yuan thought he liked it, so she picked up another men's mask and shook it in front of Xiao Heng, "Brother Heng, do you think this mask looks like you?"

The drama mask on the mask is handsome and extraordinary, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, and it looks like a military general at first glance.

It really looks a bit like him.

Just as he was fascinated, he heard the owner of the stall introduce with a smile, "The mask in my hand and the mask in my wife's hand are a pair!"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan blushed all of a sudden, and even the mask in his hand was a little bit unbearable, full of shyness.

But she did not explain, but looked up at Xiao Heng from time to time, wanting to see how Xiao Heng would react.

However, Xiao Heng's attention was only on the two masks.

After hearing what the stall owner said, he took the mask from Lin Yuan's hand and put the two masks together.

A deep smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A couple... huh?

"Miss, look, it's General Xiao and the Second Miss!"

In the private room on the second floor of Fulai Teahouse, Ningshuang leaned against the window. People were coming and going downstairs, but Xiao Heng was the most eye-catching, so Ningshuang saw him at once.

Qiao Nian was sitting at the table, and the King of Ming had not arrived yet, so there were only her and Ningshuang in the private room at the moment.

Hearing Ningshuang's voice, Qiao Nian also looked downstairs, and saw Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan beside him at a glance.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's face was no longer filled with grievance and tears, but full of joy, Qiao Nian couldn't help but sneer in her heart.

I don't know if Lin Yuan was doing that on purpose for her to see, or if Xiao Heng used some method to coax her in such a short time!

However, it has nothing to do with her.

Just as she was thinking, the door of the private room was pushed open at this time.

Ning Shuang hurriedly stood behind Qiao Nian, and Qiao Nian also stood up, subconsciously wanting to salute.

However, when she saw the people coming, Qiao Nian's movements paused.

It was not the Ming King.

But two big and strong men.

Judging from their body shapes, they should be martial artists.

Qiao Nian immediately frowned, "Who are you? Do you know that I am..."

"The eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion!" The other party suddenly spoke up.

Qiao Nian's heart became heavier.

Originally thought that these two were just lechers who walked into the wrong room, but now it was obvious that they were coming for her.

But, it was clearly Ming Wang who asked her to meet here!

"Are you Ming Wang's men?"

She asked with the last glimmer of hope in her heart.

Unexpectedly, the two men smiled at each other, and then looked at Qiao Nian, "Don't blame me, Miss, we two brothers are just taking money from others to help them get rid of disasters."

Not sent by Ming Wang!

Qiao Nian's heart sank to the bottom of the valley, but Ning Shuang behind her suddenly jumped out and pounced on a man, "Miss, run!"

Qiao Nian was startled, but before she could react, Ning Shuang was pushed away by the man.

It was too easy, so easy that it seemed like Ning Shuang was not a person, but a little rabbit, and it was pushed effortlessly.

Ning Shuang fell heavily to the ground, her head hit the wall, and she fainted all of a sudden.

There was still a lot of noise outside the teahouse, and the movement in this small private room did not attract anyone's attention.

Qiao Nian thought that even if she shouted for help out of the window, no one would hear her.

Even if they heard her, with the skills of the two men, they would have subdued her before people on the street saw her.

But the wound on her back had not healed yet!

Even if she could escape from the hands of the two men with her skills, what about Ning Shuang?

All the thoughts came in an instant. Qiao Nian bit her back teeth and said, "You are just asking for money. How much silver did the other party give you? I will give you double."

Who knew that her words only caused the other party to laugh, "Double? You are just an adopted daughter of the Marquis's Mansion who is dispensable. Can you afford two thousand taels?"

In other words, the person behind the scenes gave the two of them a full one thousand taels!

Did he have such a deep hatred with her!

Qiao Nian felt that her heart was twitching.

The hands clasped in front of her were pinching the back of her hands tightly, hoping that such pain could keep her calm.

Don't panic, the more panic she gets, the happier the other person will be!

He immediately raised the corners of his mouth, trying to make himself look calm and composed, "It seems that you two don't know that the emperor granted me marriage to the King of Ming some time ago, and gave me a lot of gold and silver treasures. It's just two thousand taels. As long as you can let me go, I can give you three thousand taels."

Those rewards were far less than three thousand taels, but at this moment, Qiao Nian acted as if the emperor had given her tens of thousands of taels!

The two seemed to be a little moved, and looked at each other, but after thinking about it, they said, "We two brothers are walking in the rivers and lakes, and we emphasize the word trust. There is no reason to accept both sides!"

So today, Qiao Nian is doomed!
