Chapter 108

That night, Qiao Nian had a dream.

In the dream, she went back to three years ago when Lin Yuan broke the glass bowl.

Facing the princess's censure, Xiao Heng and Lin Ye in the dream stopped in front of the princess.

Just when Qiao Nian was moved by this, she discovered that the person they were protecting behind was Lin Yuan, not her.

In the end, in the dream, she was taken to the Clothing Bureau, bullied by the palace maids, and whipped by her nanny...

Qiao Nian finally woke up, gasping for air, a thin layer of cold sweat covering her forehead, and her heart beating fast.

Sure enough, the clothes bureau was like hell to her.

Perhaps after hearing the noise, Ningshuang came in from outside. Seeing Qiao Nian sitting on the bed and breathing heavily, she couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Is the lady a nightmare?"

Qiao Nian took a deep breath and shook his head slightly, "It's just a little nightmare, it doesn't matter."

She thought that everything that happened during the day must have made her feel a little unwilling, so she had such a dream.

However, even in the dream, Xiao Heng and Lin Ye did not protect her.

She shook her head with a wry smile, looked at the dim sky outside the window, and asked softly, "What time is it?"

Ningshuang yawned, "It's just past nine o'clock. Miss, would you like to sleep a little longer?"

"I'm not going to sleep anymore." Qiao Nian took a deep breath. The intensity of the nightmare had not passed yet. Her heart was still beating very fast. Even if she continued to lie down, she would not be able to fall asleep again.

Ningshuang seemed to be still sleepy, rubbed her eyes and said, "Do you want to get up, then?"

Qiao Nian still shook his head.

It was getting dark too early now, and she was under house arrest, so there was nothing to do even if she got up.

Ningshuang couldn't help but frown, "What does the young lady want to do?"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian was stunned.

Yes, what is she going to do?

Now that Prince Ming is dead, she can't just stay in the Hou Mansion and wait for the Lin family to find her a 'next home'.

It doesn't feel good to be taken advantage of.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for death, she had to do something.

However, before Qiao Nian could think about it, Ningshuang suddenly became energetic and said, "Miss, smell it, it smells so good! It smells like braised pork!"

Braised pork?

Qiao Nian sniffed and actually smelled the aroma of meat.

However, the kitchen of the Hou Mansion is not close to Fanghe Garden, and the smell of meat there cannot be transmitted at all.

Even if it could be passed on, the kitchen should be busy making breakfast this early in the morning. How could it be possible to make braised pork?

Just when Qiao Nian was confused, three sounds suddenly came from outside the window.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk."

Qiao Nian was shocked, "Who?"

Ningshuang walked quickly to the window and asked warily, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Jing Yan."

The sound coming from the window startled both Qiao Nian and Ningshuang.

Ningshuang opened the window a crack and looked out. The person standing outside the door was actually Jing Yan!

"Why are Vice General Jing here?"

She couldn't help but exclaim.

But what I want to ask more is, why did Vice General Jing appear outside her lady's boudoir at this hour!

Qiao Nian hurriedly picked up the coat on the side and put it on her body. She quickly walked to Ningshuang's side. Looking at Jing Yan who was standing outside the window with an embarrassed look on her face, she couldn't help but ask, "Vice General Jing is so anxious." You came to see me, but you have something important?"

The tone actually revealed a bit of displeasure.

If Jing Yan hadn't saved her several times before, she would have been beaten out by her now as a traitor.

Obviously, Jing Yan also knew that he came at the wrong time.

only……

He raised his hand, holding a food box.

"I, I made pig intestines."

Ever since Qiao Nian said she liked to eat it last time, Jing Yan has been thinking about it. When he has time, he will buy it, wash it and make it himself.

The first two times I made it, it was really hard to swallow.

So he simply spent money to learn how to make pig intestines, but he didn't expect that although this small pig intestine looks simple, it is not easy to make it well.

After finishing his studies last night, he couldn't wait to buy pig intestines and finally made this bowl.

He thought that this food wouldn't taste good when it was cold, so he brought it to Qiao Nian while it was still hot.

However, he didn't wake up suddenly until he knocked on Qiao Nian's window.

It was a bright day, and he couldn't wait to come.

He even got in over the wall.

Just to give Qiao Nian a pig intestine.

Just a portion of pig intestines!

Thinking of this, Jing Yan's face was so red that he almost bled.

He felt that he was too reckless.

But at this moment, it’s neither possible for him to leave nor for him to stay.

The originally resolute face was now filled with embarrassment.

Naturally, Qiao Nian didn't expect that Jing Yan was here to give pig intestines.

Obviously she just said it casually last time, and after so long, she had forgotten it, but she didn't expect that he would actually deliver it.

Seeing Jing Yan's dark face almost blushing and unable to stand, Qiao Nian couldn't help but smile, "How did Vice General Jing know that I was hungry?"

After saying that, he motioned to Ningshuang to reach out and take the food box.

Jing Yan's eyes showed a bit of surprise unconsciously. He stood there without saying anything and watched Ningshuang take the food box and take out the plate of pig intestines.

Watching Qiao Nian pick up the chopsticks and take a bite.

My heart feels like it's in my throat.

Jing Yan asked in a low voice with some worry and expectation, "How is it?"

"It's delicious." Qiao Nian responded with a smile and took a piece for Ningshuang to eat.

Ningshuang immediately showed a look of surprise, "Well, it is indeed delicious!"

Jing Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and even his smile was not so stiff, "That's good. I've been studying for a long time, and I was worried that it wouldn't suit the girl's taste."

Seeing Jing Yan's appearance, Qiao Nian felt a sense of sourness in her heart for some unknown reason.

She probably understood Jing Yan's thoughts.

If it wasn't sincere, how could it be possible to put so much thought into it, and how could it be possible to show such an embarrassed look?

only……

Qiao Nian raised his lips and smiled at Jing Yan, "Thank you, Lieutenant General Jing, for taking my affairs to heart, but please don't do these things in the future. Your hands should be holding swords and going into battle to kill the enemy."

She is not a daughter of a noble family. On the contrary, she has countless troubles with her.

Jing Yan shouldn't have too much entanglement with her. A man like him deserves better.

Jing Yan also understood what Qiao Nian meant.

His face was full of embarrassment, "I, I understand." After saying that, he stepped back, "This, the girl likes to eat. I, I will leave first."

Before he finished speaking, he stumbled and almost fell because he stepped on something empty.

Qiao Nian was startled and couldn't help shouting, "Be careful."

But her voice only made Jing Yan feel more embarrassed and ran away in a hurry.

Looking at the figure who fled in a hurry, the sourness in Qiao Nian's heart gradually spread.

She really shouldn't hurt Jing Yan's heart, but she shouldn't have anything to do with Jing Yan.

Ningshuang looked at Qiao Nian and said, "Miss, do you still want to eat this pig intestine?"

Qiao Nian nodded, "Of course I have to eat it all."

This was made with sincerity, and it was the most delicious pig intestine she had ever eaten.

It’s a hundred times more delicious than the one from Huanyi Bureau!

Ningshuang nodded and was about to go to the table to put down the food box, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden noise outside.

"Where did you come from? Stop!"

They are the guards patrolling the mansion!
