Three families hire each other, the mistress of the marquisate accidentally offends the treacherous

You could hear a pin drop in the house. Outside, there was a loud thunder. In just a moment, heavy rain began to fall.

The room became quieter with the lights on.

Jiang Qingyue spoke in a calm tone:

"At that time, I was young and my mother was gone. Madam Jiang Cao was not kind to me, but because I was a daughter, she didn't want to kill me, but she didn't want to educate me well either.

“Throw me in a corner and ignore me, and on the other hand, I’m free.

"My mother taught me embroidery. I wanted to live, so I took the few copper coins I had left, bought needles and thread and cloth, made embroidery, and quietly slipped out the back door to exchange money for food.

"The west corner gate is the gate that no one pays attention to. I always go out from there. The old lady guarding the gate feels sorry for me and doesn't say anything when she sees me slipping out. She just reminds me to come back early..."

Jiang Qingyue opened her mouth slowly and told another version of the story.

This version fits the scene in Dong Lingyan's mind perfectly.

Dong Lingyan knew clearly:

Jiang Qingyue is the person he is looking for.

Jiang Qingyue is his real benefactor.

And Nie Qianjin is a fake.

When the two stories were combined, a person vaguely emerged in Dong Lingyan's mind.

There was also a little girl who lived nearby. Every time she passed by him, she would come up and kick him, cursing at him and saying that he was blocking the way.

She often saw the two of them together, saying some harsh words, which were really hard to hear, but his life was in danger at that time, so he did not take these words to heart.

Now, together with Jiang Qingyue's version, those words came into my ears one by one.

At that time, he felt that the girl was so vicious at such a young age.

But he had no choice. He couldn't go anywhere else. Only in this remote place where no one came to beg, no one would drive him away.

But even so, he still suffered a lot of cold stares, especially from that sarcastic girl.

And there were several times when she saw the girls who came to help her, she would go up to them and make sarcastic remarks.

Sometimes she would curse and sit opposite them, weaving straw sandals and watching them. I guess that’s why she heard those words…

When he asked Nie Qianjin before, there were some things Nie Qianjin couldn't answer, and he still had some doubts, but Nie Qianjin explained that it was a long time ago and it was possible that he couldn't remember everything.

He didn't find anyone else, and Nie Qianjin could tell part of it. In addition, he showed a gentle image and her explanation was reasonable, so he naturally recognized Nie Qianjin as that person.

Unexpectedly, he was totally wrong.

Not only was Nie Qianjin not the one who helped him, nor the one who saved him, he was also one of the many people who stepped on others.

He is truly blind and greedy.

Dong Lingyan only felt a surge of anger at being deceived, as well as a huge sense of guilt for having done something wrong.

He actually hurt his real benefactor for such a person.

It also hurt their children.

When he thought of this, thin beads of cold sweat broke out on Dong Lingyan's forehead, his face turned pale, and he looked lifeless.

How foolish he must be to make such a big mistake.

If it was an ordinary stranger, he would not be so angry, but this was the person who had hurt him. He actually hurt the person he wanted to repay the most for the sake of the person who hurt him.

Dong Ling felt disgusted and heartbroken.

Not a single word could come out.

At this moment, he wished he could cut Nie Qianjin into pieces.

Not only did she deceive me, but she also caused me to lose a child with Jiang Qingyue.

Nie Qianjin's crime was unforgivable, but he still protected her everywhere, thinking she was kind and a good person.

My God, what had he done?

Dong Lingyan's guilt reached its peak and he was speechless.

He remembered that the little girl he had interacted with was dressed in coarse linen clothes, and he never thought of her as a lady from a wealthy family.

But he didn't expect that Jiang Qingyue, as a concubine's daughter, was in the same situation as him.

But she is a daughter, not a big enough threat to the mistress, and she still has a roof over her head to protect her.

And the money she gave him was earned by her hard work day and night.

He really deserves to die...

It turns out that the person I have been looking for for a long time is right next to me.

It turns out that the person he should be most grateful to and protect the most is the person he cares about.

But he hurt her deeply for other people.

Dong Ling hated that she couldn't blind her own eyes, but she was also afraid that she would become disabled and no one would protect her in the future.

He looked at Jiang Qingyue, his eyes full of guilt.

When Jiang Qingyue was about to look over, he quickly withdrew his gaze. He didn't dare to look at her.

The room was eerily quiet.

He felt that he should do something, but he didn't know what to do.

The feeling of powerlessness almost makes people collapse.

He had never felt so frustrated.

He lowered his head, faced Jiang Qingyue, and slowly knelt down:

"sorry."

Jiang Qingyue looked at him.

This result was something she didn't expect.

But she finally understood in her heart: this was the reason why the old lady of the Marquis's Mansion sent her to the bed in the General's Mansion.

It turned out that he and Dong Lingyan had had such an intersection before.

Although they have old ones.

Although he had reasons.

Although he admitted his mistake and apologized.

However, Jiang Qingyue did not forgive him for this.

Because, what had happened had already happened, he had wanted to kill her, he had no sympathy for their child.

There is a life between them, so no matter what, she will not look back.

As for how she treated others and what she did when she was young, she did not regret it. She chose to treat others with kindness and did not expect the consequences today.

It's fate, this is the fate between them.

We should not be trapped by the past, and we should always look forward.

After thinking it through, she put the matter behind her.

She should be nicer to herself, instead of being hard on herself and competing with herself.

Jiang Qingyue took a deep breath.

He thought that the purpose of meeting Dong Lingyan was to solve the trouble of Nie Qianjin.

Now, Nie Qianjin is nothing to be afraid of.

As for the rest, I think Dong Lingyan will know what to do.

She doesn't have to worry anymore.

Having achieved her goal, Jiang Qingyue had no intention of staying any longer.

"General, go back and stop kneeling."

After saying that, Jiang Qingyue left.

It was still raining outside. Lu Huan came over with an umbrella and protected Jiang Qingyue back to the yard.

In front of the hall, Dong Lingyan was still kneeling, not even daring to turn around to take a look.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he looked up at the empty front hall, feeling as if his heart was being cut.

He wanted to kneel here until she forgave him, but he was afraid that she would think that he was forcing her and would hate him even more, so he didn't dare.

He had done so many things that made her sad and upset, and he dared not make any more mistakes.

He was afraid that she would ignore him from now on.

After knowing the truth, she thought he would cry, make a fuss, complain, and feel unwilling, but she didn't.

The more this happened, the more anxious she became.

I don’t know what to do to make up for the mistakes I made.

The last thing she said was: tell him to stop kneeling.

If he listens to her, will she have a better impression of him?

Dong Lingyan stood up from the ground with trembling body.

Go out the door.

Outside, it was raining heavily.

Without hesitation, he walked into the rain.

The rain soaked his clothes almost instantly, but he was not aware of it.

He walked in the rain. The dim lights in the corridor were isolated from the rain and the light could not penetrate.

The darkness becomes increasingly lonely.

He walked out of the villa with his body wet, and then walked all the way back to the general's mansion.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, the concierge was shocked to see Dong Ling Yan in such a state:

"Would the general like to have some water ready for bathing?"

Dong Lingyan did not stop, as if she could not hear what he said, and walked straight ahead.

In just a moment, it disappeared in the night rain.

His physical memory led him all the way to the study.

The light is on in the study.

From a distance, I saw Jing Huai reading a book.

Dong Lingyan walked into the house, the rain on his body dripped down his robe onto the ground, quickly forming a puddle of water.

Jing Huai, who was sitting on the chair, heard the noise and knew that Dong Ling Yan had returned.

He was reading the comic book in his hand with great interest. Without even raising his head, he began to speak:

"Oh, you still remember to come back. I'm not saying anything bad to you, brother. If you like someone, just say it honestly. You keep it in your heart and hide it. If you don't say it, who will know.

"Look at you, you like someone but you send her to jail yourself, and you almost... Well, now it's a long way to go to catch up with your wife.

"But I think you're doing pretty well this way. It's better than your cold-hearted and cold-faced appearance before. You're still being controlled by that damn imperial concubine. I've told you before that Jiang's sister is the best, but you still don't believe it."

Jing Huai kept on talking, his eyes still on the picture book, and he was eating melon seeds while talking.

But he talked a lot and didn't hear any sound from the door, so he casually moved the book to the side:

"Brother, why don't you say anything? Did you get turned away?"

Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Dong Lingyan dripping with water all over his body and was startled.

He quickly put away the book, put his legs on the ground, and ran over.

"What's wrong, brother? What happened? Did you have a fight?"

Dong Lingyan said nothing, slowly turned his head and looked at Jing Huai.

His hair was stuck to his forehead, the corners of his eyes were red, and he looked dazed and in a very miserable state.

Jing Huai was terrified. He had never seen his elder brother like this before.

"Brother, what happened? Don't scare me."

Jing Huai's worries were real, and Dong Ling Yan could easily see it.

Everyone in the Jing family was very kind to him, and Jing Huai admired him wholeheartedly and treated him like his own brother.

It is completely different from other people's hypocrisy and superficiality.

When Jiang Qingyue looked at him at that time, she was shy, attached, and expectant, and he saw it sincerely.

But Nie Qianjin was completely different. Nie Qianjin only pretended to be weak in front of him a few times, cried a few times, and said some words that only he would understand, so how could he be deceived so clearly?

It was obviously Nie Qianjin... He had never seen her true heart, so why was he so stubborn to think that it was her?

He is really stupid.

Now when I think back on it, I realize that when Nie Qianjin faced me, he only used and schemed against me.

Can he really not see?

Or have you seen it, but are deceiving yourself by turning a blind eye?

He couldn't forgive himself for doing such a stupid thing.

Dong Lingyan's eyes were dazed, which made Jing Huai anxious. He helped him sit down at the table and asked someone to prepare hot water for bathing.

"Brother, you must take good care of yourself no matter what. If my aunt were here, I don't know how heartbroken she would be."

Dong Lingyan glanced at him and said nothing.

Yes, her mother loves her, Jing Huai respects him, and Jiang Qingyue is attached to him. How could he not see Nie Qianjin's true face?

How come he can't see that?

How come I can't see Jiang Qingyue's feelings for me...

But he failed her.

In the most cruel way.

Jing Huaijian and Dong Lingyan were silent the whole time, and were getting anxious.

"Brother, what happened? Tell me what happened. Don't keep it in your heart. Tell me what's going on.

"Did you have a quarrel with Sister Jiang? If you have a quarrel, just comfort her.

"As long as you talk to her nicely and be nicer, she will forgive you."

Dong Lingyan pursed his lips tightly.

Jing Huai saw that he was silent, thought of something, and asked tentatively: Is it because of the child?

Speaking of children, Dong Lingyan showed a painful look on his face.

Jing Huai understood and sighed.

He had tried his best to persuade Dong Lingyan at the beginning, but no matter how he tried to persuade him, Dong Lingyan just wouldn't give in.

It is not unfair for him to have this day.

"If I had known earlier, I should have stopped you and refused to let you send the bowl of medicine over. But now, it's too late to say anything. The mistake has been made and there is nothing we can do.

"If Sister Jiang says anything to you because of this incident, just bear with it. From an outsider's perspective, it seems to me that you are the one who has let her down.

"It would be fine if outsiders didn't know the truth about Nie Qianjin, but you and I know it very well, but you are determined to bury Sister Jiang with her. Sister Jiang must be very sad.

"And that child, he had no compassion for his own child, that's really hurtful."

Dong Lingyan lowered his head, buried his whole body in his arms, sobbed, and cried softly, which scared Jing Huai silly.

He had never seen Dong Lingyan like this before, but he didn't dare to say anything.

He could only stand by quietly, he could see that his elder brother was really moved.

only……

Hey.

I just hope these two can talk things out and reconcile.

The rain outside was still heavy, and Dong Lingyan's voice was drowned out by the sound of the rain.

Jing Huai just stayed with her.

After hearing no more sound, he spoke in a comforting tone:

"Brother, take a shower and change your clothes first."

Dong Lingyan didn't move. Jing Huai went forward and wanted to help him up, but as soon as he touched him, his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

Jing Huai was frightened and hurried to support him, only to find that Dong Lingyan had developed a high fever.

"Big brother, big brother."

Jing Huai exclaimed and quickly asked someone to call a doctor. Then he helped Dong Lingyan to the bed and changed him into clean clothes.

In a daze, Dong Lingyan grabbed Jing Huai's arm, his face painful:

"I got the wrong person. The little girl back then was not Nie Qianjin, it was her. It was her from beginning to end.

"How could I be so stupid? You've said they sound alike, but I never thought of it that way."

After he finished speaking, he felt a sweetness in his throat, spat out a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
