After saying this, Qiao Nian could clearly see a trace of panic on Lin Ye's face.

It's so funny!

When he was going to destroy her, he was so confident and justified.

Now that he was involved, he panicked!

Not only Lin Ye, but almost all the Lin family members panicked.

But at this moment, Lin Yuan, who had been crying all the time, stood up and said to Qiao Nian, "Sister, you have suffered today, you should go back and rest early! It's getting late now, can we talk about it tomorrow?"

Hearing her say this, Mrs. Lin also spoke hurriedly, "Yes, yes, Nian Nian, you see, it's so late, and General Xiao hasn't gone back yet, why don't we discuss this matter tomorrow morning?"

Qiao Nian seemed to remember at this moment that there was still a Xiao Heng standing in the hall.

She turned her head and looked at him.

The candlelight in the hall jumped on Xiao Heng's usually indifferent face, and his sharp features seemed even colder than usual.

He was also looking at her, and there were some emotions in his dark eyes that she couldn't understand.

However, it made her heart feel inexplicably bitter.

She took a deep breath.

After experiencing this disaster today, she was indeed exhausted.

If she continued to entangle with the Lin family, she would probably be the first to fall.

It would be better to rest for a night.

Anyway, she would never let Lin Ye go!

Thinking of this, she walked towards Xiao Heng.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan became nervous.

As if she was worried that Qiao Nian would throw herself into Xiao Heng's arms regardless of anything, when she saw Qiao Nian getting closer and closer to Xiao Heng, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted, "Sister!"

Everyone could hear the panic in her voice.

But Qiao Nian ignored her and didn't stop until she walked in front of Xiao Heng.

The distance was a bit close.

Qiao Nian admitted that she was angry with Lin Yuan.

Hearing Lin Yuan's panicked shouting, she felt relieved.

But she would not make any overstepping actions after all.

She just bowed to Xiao Heng and said, "Thanks to Deputy General Jing Yan's rescue today, please ask General Xiao to thank Deputy General Jing on my behalf. I will invite Deputy General Jing to drink wine if there is a chance in the future."

Is she just going to say this to him?

Xiao Heng did not speak, only his eyes trembled a little.

He thought she came to him to ask him to protect her.

How could she fight against the whole Hou Mansion alone?

As long as she opened her mouth, he could get some justice for her.

But, she only said that she would invite Jing Yan to drink wine.

After saying this, Qiao Nian was also waiting for Xiao Heng's response.

She thought that Xiao Heng should at least say "you're welcome", but she didn't expect him to be silent again.

Could it be that after not seeing each other for three years, Xiao Heng is now good at dealing with everything with silence?

She didn't think about it, turned around and left, without even looking at the people in the Hou Mansion in the hall, and went straight to her Fanghe Garden.

Looking at her back, Xiao Heng's thoughts finally took root.

But Lord Lin and others were worried.

This matter must not be allowed to be made worse by Qiao Nian!

When Qiao Nian returned to Fanghe Garden, a group of maids were surrounding Ningshuang.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Ningshuang rushed out of the crowd with tears in her eyes, "Miss, are you okay?"

A little blood oozed out of the gauze wrapped around Ningshuang's head.

Qiao Nian looked very distressed, and his voice softened a bit, "I'm fine, but you, do you have a headache?"

Ningshuang shook her head repeatedly, tears falling.

The other maids also looked distressed, "It's good that the young lady is back, we are all worried."

"Miss is injured? Does it hurt?"

"Quick, stop blocking the young lady, let the young lady go back to the room to rest!"

"Yes, yes, yes, all get out of the way!"

The maids talked a lot, very noisy.

But at this moment, Qiao Nian only felt warm.

She always felt that the Marquis' Mansion was too cold.

It was as cold as an ice cellar, and only her grandmother could warm her body and restore her temperature.

But her grandmother was not in good health, and she could not let her grandmother know all her grievances and pain.

She thought she would digest these emotions alone tonight.

But she didn't expect that her heart was no longer so cold just after stepping into Fanghe Garden.

She clearly injured her hand, but Ningshuang insisted on helping her back to the house.

As soon as she sat down, a maid brought hot tea, "Miss, you must have been frightened today. This is the calming tea that I just made. After drinking it, you can sleep well. Everything will be fine tomorrow!"

"I will go get hot water for you to wash up."

"Miss, the quilts are already warm. After you drink tea and wash up, go and have a good rest."

These should have been done by Ningshuang, but Ningshuang was also injured today, so the maids volunteered to take over Ningshuang's work.

Maybe these maids were too enthusiastic, Qiao Nian felt that her eyes were warming up.

She asked Ningshuang to rest early, drank tea, washed up and went to bed with the help of the maids.

She crawled into the fragrant and soft quilts, and she wanted to bury her head in it.

She wanted to remove all the people in the Lin family from her mind.

She wished that she was never the daughter of a marquis.

She had nothing to do with the Lin family!

The effect of the calming tea was indeed good.

Qiao Nian fell asleep soon after, but he had a dream all night.

In the dream, she was chased by the two strong men. Just when she was about to escape, Lin Ye suddenly appeared and pushed her into the abyss.

Qiao Nian was frightened by this dream and woke up. Before she could recover, she heard Ningshuang's exclamation outside the house, "Miss! It's not good! The old lady got sick and fainted!"

Qiao Nian almost jumped out of bed, grabbed some clothes and put them on, and walked out while putting them on, "What's going on? Why did grandma suddenly become ill again when she was fine?"

Ningshuang had already taken a cloak and was waiting outside. When she saw Qiao Nian coming out, she hurriedly put it on for her.

"My servant doesn't know. I only heard that the second young lady went to the old lady's yard early this morning. Not long after she left, the old lady fell ill."

Lin Yuan?

A cold feeling flashed in Qiao Nian's heart.

But he didn't say a word and just hurried to the old lady's yard.

When she arrived at the old lady's yard, Marquis Lin and others had already arrived.

Lin Yuan was standing behind Mrs. Lin, looking timid and looking like she had done something wrong.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Lin Yuan obviously shrank behind Mrs. Lin.

Qiao Nian glanced at her and saw the doctor coming out of the old lady's room before she could speak.

She hurriedly greeted her, "How is grandma doing?"

The doctor of the palace bowed to Qiao Nian, "Miss, don't worry, the old lady is fine, but the old lady's body really can't stand the stimulation. If anything happens in the palace in the future, it's better not to hide it from the old lady!"

After hearing this, Qiao Nian already understood.

She stood there and said nothing.

Marquis Lin stepped forward and thanked the doctor, then personally escorted the doctor out of the house.

Mrs. Lin also stepped forward and patted Qiao Nian's arm gently, "Nian Nian, since the doctor said everything is fine, don't worry too much."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian finally reacted. She turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Lin, and then suddenly rushed towards Lin Yuan like she was going crazy.
