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

Lin Yuan's movements were too fast, and Qiao Nian was almost dragged into the lotus pond.

But at that critical moment, Qiao Nian's right foot pressed against the stone bridge fence, and he leaned back with force, pulling his arms back with him.

Lin Yuan, whose back was already wet, was pulled back by Qiao Nian.

But Lin Yuan's legs were weak, and she knelt in front of Qiao Nian, tears falling down.

Qiao Nian shook off Lin Yuan's hand and stepped back two steps in disgust.

The right shoulder, which had been burned by Concubine De, began to throb with pain.

Looking at Lin Yuan, who was already crying uncontrollably, she finally couldn't help but yelled angrily, "What sin did I do in my last life that I have to be haunted by you like a ghost in this life! I tell you, Lin Yuan, I don't know you well, even if you want to die, you'd better die far away from me!"

The people in the house heard the noise and came out one after another.

Seeing the scene on the stone bridge, Madam Lin was startled and ran over immediately, "What's wrong? What happened, Yuan'er..."

"Stop!" Qiao Nian shouted, staring at Madam Lin with angry eyes.

Madam Lin had never seen Qiao Nian so fierce, and she was really shocked and stopped where she was.

Qiao Nian then looked at Lin Yuan again, unable to contain her anger, "I haven't even had time to argue with you about you for giving me medicine, but you're rushing to make trouble for me! Lin Yuan, do you really think I can't do anything to you? Do you really think that I can't do anything to you since everyone in the Marquis' Mansion is protecting you?"

Lin Yuan cried breathlessly, "Sister, I didn't mean it. Whether you believe it or not, I never intended to hurt you! But...but you took away my fifteen years, didn't you? You've been raised since you were a child, but what about me? I'm just a wild girl in the countryside! In front of you, I'm always inferior! So I'm afraid! I'm afraid you'll take away everything that originally belonged to me... woo woo woo..."

She cried so pitifully, and her sincere feelings made Mrs. Lin on the shore wipe away her tears.

But, Qiao Nian just smiled coldly.

"Why, you specifically mentioned those fifteen years, do you want me to feel guilty so that I can forgive your previous mistakes?" She stared at Lin Yuan coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on her lips, and walked forward slowly.

She looked down at her, stretched out a finger, and gently lifted Lin Yuan's chin.

Looking at this delicate face with tears in her eyes, a cold chill appeared in Qiao Nian's eyes, "But I have already paid you back for those fifteen years. Isn't it?"

They said it themselves, the three years of inhuman torture in the laundry department have paid off those fifteen years!

Maybe Qiao Nian's expression at this moment was too fierce, as if he would eat her alive at any time, Lin Yuan actually stopped crying, but still sobbed.

But Qiao Nian turned his head and looked at the other side of the lotus pond.

Over there, Xiao Heng stood facing them with his hands behind his back, his eyes dark and unclear.

It was already dark, and Lin Yuan wanted to use the darkness to accuse her of pushing her into the water, but Qiao Nian knew that Xiao Heng had excellent eyesight, and he must have seen the scene clearly.

It was really funny. In his heart, his fiancée had always been pure and kind, but she did something to frame others under his nose. I don’t know how Xiao Heng felt.

Thinking of this, Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Yuan again, "You just want to test whether you are important in Xiao Heng's heart, and want to see who Xiao Heng will save after you and I fall into the water together, right?"

"I will help you."

Qiao Nian's words startled Lin Yuan.

I don't understand why Qiao Nian changed his mind now when he said that he was not familiar with her and would not help her?

However, the smile on Qiao Nian's mouth became more and more intense, but that smile was as creepy as a ghost.

The next moment, Qiao Nian suddenly grabbed her collar with both hands and lifted her up.

Without waiting for her to react, he pushed her into the lotus pond.

"Ah!"

With a cry of surprise and the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, Lin Yuan was pushed into the lotus pond by Qiao Nian in full view of everyone.

Everyone was shocked. No one expected Qiao Nian to suddenly do this.

One by one, they all stood on the shore, staring at Lin Yuan struggling in the water.

But Qiao Nian slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Heng.

The latter still stood there, without moving a step, and had no intention of coming forward to save her.

Even in his dark eyes, only Qiao Nian's figure was reflected.

Tsk, not coming to save?

Qiao Nian was slightly surprised, but then he curled his lips and sneered, and then glanced at Lin Yuan who was still struggling, and then turned and walked towards the shore.

When passing by Madam Lin, Qiao Nian said calmly, "Although the pool is shallow, it can still drown people."

Madam Lin seemed to have reacted and hurriedly called for someone to rescue Lin Yuan.

Qiao Nian walked into the house without even looking at Lord Lin standing outside.

Ningshuang handed over a cup of hot tea, and Qiao Nian sat down to take it. When she noticed Lord Lin coming into the house, she said coldly, "It's getting late, Lord Lin should go back and rest! The guards here are enough."

After Lin Yuan's trouble, she was annoyed when she saw someone with the surname Lin!

Unexpectedly, Lord Lin didn't say anything, but sat down opposite Qiao Nian.

Outside the house, a violent coughing sound was soon heard.

It should be that Lin Yuan was rescued.

Obviously, she choked on a lot of water and coughed violently, as if she was going to cough out her lungs.

Mrs. Lin hurriedly asked someone to send Lin Yuan to the courtyard of the palace doctor. After a while, the outside returned to peace.

Qiao Nian took a sip of tea and glanced at Lord Lin who was still sitting as steady as a mountain. He couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

In the past, Lord Lin would be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot as long as Lin Yuan's eyes turned red. Why is he so calm now?

Didn't she hint that she couldn't escape with the group of guards outside, not to mention that Xiao Heng was there besides the guards!

He really didn't need to watch her in person.

But Qiao Nian was too lazy to talk nonsense with the surname Lin, just thinking that if he wanted to watch, let him watch.

Unexpectedly, Lord Lin suddenly smiled softly, and the deep voice revealed a kind of kindness that was particularly familiar and unfamiliar to Qiao Nian, "Your personality is still exactly the same as when you were a child."

This inexplicable topic made Qiao Nian stiffen all over.

The hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble, and almost spilled the tea.

She roughly understood why Lord Lin mentioned this.

Because she remembered Lord Lin saying that her personality was exactly the same as Lord Lin when he was young.

Back then, someone joked about her appearance, saying that she didn't look like Lord Lin or Mrs. Lin, and must have been taken away by mistake.

After Lord Lin knew about this, he took Qiao Nian to the door and told them that although Qiao Nian didn't look like them, her personality was completely Lin family style, and she was a true disciple of the Marquis' Mansion. If anyone dared to talk nonsense again, he would overturn their house!

For many, many years to come, Lord Lin's words were Qiao Nian's confidence.

Until...

Lin Yuan appeared.

Lin Yuan's eyes were too similar to Madam Lin's.

It was as if they were carved from the same mold. Moreover, she was like Madam Lin, shedding tears at every turn.

Lord Lin said that when he looked at Lin Yuan, he seemed to see what Madam Lin looked like when she was young.

And she, after all, was just an outsider with the same bad temper as the Lin family!
