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

Qiao Nian didn't expect that the old lady would suddenly ask this question. Looking at the expectation in her eyes, Qiao Nian suddenly understood that the old lady wanted to bring her and Xiao Heng together.

Even though she had made it clear yesterday that she had no interest in Xiao Heng, in the eyes of the old lady, the two of them were childhood sweethearts, and Xiao Heng was the one who was favored by the Holy Spirit, so he was the best person Qiao Nian could entrust.

However, her relationship with Xiao Heng used to be Luo Hua's purposeful and ruthless relationship, but now he and Lin Yuan have long been in love, and she has no position at all, nor the intention to get involved.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Grandma, General Xiao asked me to bring cakes to Lin Yuan today. They are a couple. Don't think about this in the future."

The old lady was not a stubborn person, so she sighed immediately, "Oh! Grandma just thought that you and that boy from the Xiao family were so good in the past, and it's a pity that you broke up like this."

Qiao Nian smiled and rested her head on the old lady's shoulder, "My granddaughter just wants to be with her grandmother now, really."

She knew that it would indeed be a pity in the eyes of the older generation that she and Xiao Heng had gone from childhood sweethearts to today, but the past was in the past, and there was really no need for her to get stuck in the quagmire for Xiao Heng.

She just wants to stay with her grandmother and live her life well.

Dusk is deepening.

Qiao Nian accompanied the old lady to the front hall.

The servants had already prepared an extremely sumptuous meal, and Marquis Lin, Mrs. Lin and others also arrived early. When they saw the old lady, they both came forward and hugged the old lady and sat at the head of the round table.

The two of them sat on the left and right sides of the old lady respectively.

"You guys should sit down too." The old lady looked very happy. In previous years, she was always unhappy because Qiao Nian was not around at the reunion dinner.

But anyone can tell this year that the old lady is happy.

Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin were naturally happy to see the old lady looking like this. They all looked at Qiao Nian and said, "Nian Nian, sit down quickly."

Qiao Nian nodded slightly, but felt a little uncomfortable.

Her previous position was next to Mrs. Lin, but now, that position has long been taken by Lin Yuan.

Lin Ye's forehead was still wrapped with gauze. Because of what happened yesterday, he did not say hello to Qiao Nian, but sat down beside Marquis Lin.

There was only one empty seat left for Qiao Nian in such a large round table.

On the left is Lin Ye, on the right is Lin Yuan.

If possible, Qiao Nian would turn around and leave.

But she didn't want to displease the old lady, so she had no choice but to sit down.

During the dinner, Mr. Lin and the old lady talked about interesting things in recent days. Lin Yuan coughed twice from time to time, which attracted the attention of several people.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, remained silent throughout the whole process, just like Qiao Nian.

As if he noticed something unusual between the two of them, Mr. Lin frowned almost imperceptibly, and then he touched Lin Ye lightly and said, "Give your sister some food."

This was obviously a step forward for Lin Ye, and Lin Ye understood. After all, what happened yesterday was indeed his fault.

So he picked up the chopsticks, picked up a little fish and put it into the bowl in front of Qiao Nian.

"I remember you loved fish the most."

Finally, he added.

It was a deliberate attempt to please.

Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin looked very pleased, and even the old lady showed a somewhat satisfied smile.

But Qiao Nian felt worried when she looked at the bit of fish.

But everyone in the house was so happy, and she didn't want to cause any trouble on this day of family gathering, so she thanked her softly and went to eat something else.

Lin Ye thought at first that Qiao Nian also went down the steps, but soon he found that the fish he had put for her was still lying quietly in the bowl, and Qiao Nian had not even touched the rice grains next to the fish.

At that moment, the whole person's air pressure dropped.

But due to the presence of the old lady, he did not attack immediately.

I don’t know how long it took, but the old lady said she was tired and asked her servants to help her go back to rest.

Qiao Nian subconsciously wanted to get up and go back with the old lady, but the old lady refused, "You continue to eat. Grandma is old and can't eat much. You eat more for her."

Helpless, Qiao Nian had no choice but to stay.

The old lady's original intention was to let Qiao Nian stay with Mr. and Mrs. Lin for a while.

After all, she was a daughter who was raised since childhood. How could she have no feelings at all?

Just stay a little longer and let out more feelings!

But who knew that not long after the old lady left, Lin Ye snatched the bowl in front of Qiao Nian.

Mrs. Lin immediately frowned, "Ye'er! What the hell are you doing again!" She shouted while looking at Mr. Lin's face, for fear that Mr. Lin would be angry again.

But Marquis Lin didn't say anything about this. Instead, he looked at Qiao Nian and said, "Your biological mother kept you in the Marquis Mansion for fifteen years. During these fifteen years, the Marquis Mansion provided you with delicious food and drinks. Your mother and I also protect you as the apple of our eye, and your brother protects you at all times. No matter what you want, he will get it for you."

After these words came out, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Qiao Nian worriedly, and then poked Marquis Lin on the back, "What do you mean by this?"

Lin Yuan on the side even coughed much softer, for fear of making Marquis Lin unhappy.

However, Marquis Lin did not answer Mrs. Lin's words. He just continued to look at Qiao Nian and said, "What happened three years ago was indeed my fault for you, but what happened that day has already happened. It was either you or Yuan'er. I know you These three years have been hard and frustrating, but you can just treat it as if it were the fifteen years, can't you?"

Lin Ye also said something similar.

It can be seen that Lord Lin and others had already tacitly acknowledged that they had not wronged her in the past three years when she went to Huanyi Bureau to suffer.

She just paid for the previous fifteen years.

Feeling pain in her heart, Qiao Nian lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Seeing her being so silent, Lord Lin became angry. He stood up from his seat and looked at Qiao Nian with disappointment in his eyes. "Since you came back, your grandmother has loved you. Your mother has also done this for you many times." I shed tears because of you, and Yuan'er went to your courtyard to apologize to you personally. Although your brother was a little impulsive, he only entered the palace to avenge you!"

"Our whole family is trying to please you, but in the final analysis, our Hou Mansion doesn't owe anyone named Qiao anything, so why do you have to put on such a big airs? If you really don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion, you can leave on your own. , I will never stop you!”

"Master Hou!" Mrs. Lin yelled, looked at Qiao Nian anxiously, and then lowered her voice and said, "How much wine did you drink before you said so many drunken words!"

"What Dad said was not drunk." Lin Ye responded and placed Qiao Nian's bowl in the center of the table, letting everyone see clearly that the bit of fish in the bowl was still intact.

For a moment, Mrs. Lin looked at Qiao Nian with a little disappointment.

Why are you so stubborn?

It’s just a little bit of fish, so what happens if you eat it?

Lin Ye looked at Qiao Nian coldly, "Dad is right, if you don't want to stay in the Hou Mansion, just leave, no one will stop you. You don't have to show your face to us from morning to night! After all, The culprit of all this is your mother, my Lin family doesn’t owe you anything!”
