Chapter 127

Jing Yan was stunned.

She forgot to hand the hawthorn in her hand to Qiao Nian, forgot to continue wiping Qiao Nian's tears, and even forgot what she had just said.

Yes, did he hear it correctly?

He held the small hawthorn and turned it into a stone statue in an instant.

Seeing his silly look, Qiao Nian's smile became even brighter.

She reached out and took the hawthorn from his hand, stuffed it into her mouth and chewed it, her little face bulging.

Then, she asked again, "Do you want to marry me?"

"think!"

Jing Yan finally came to his senses, and the word "think" was shouted loudly.

Qiao Nian's ears were almost deafened.

However, he quickly calmed down, "But, I have no power and low status. I am completely different from Miss Qiao. I am not worthy of her."

He lowered his head in frustration.

He still remembered every word of what Ningshuang had said to him before.

He knew his identity very well, even carrying Qiao Nian's shoes was not enough.

He didn't ask for anything else, as long as he could watch her from a distance and protect her to the best of his ability, he would be satisfied.

But unexpectedly, Qiao Nian's two small hands suddenly held his cheeks.

The gentle touch made him stiffen again, and he looked up at her in shock.

Her tear-stained little face was full of seriousness, "You just need to tell me if you dare to marry me."

Marrying her means that he will face the big trouble in the Hou Mansion with her, and will share weal and woe with her.

Jing Yan finally realized that Qiao Nian was serious.

Even though she knew that there were many difficulties between them, she still took that step firmly.

Then, how could he disappoint her.

At that moment, he raised his hand and swore, "I, Jing Yan, would like to marry Miss Qiao. I will only love Miss Qiao in this life. If I disobey, I will be struck by thunder from heaven."

The smile in Qiao Nian's eyes grew stronger, but the hand holding his cheek pinched his face in feint of anger, "Why are you still calling her Miss Qiao?"

Jing Yan was stunned and instantly blushed, even his earlobes were red.

But he finally called out the name he thought about day and night: "Nian Nian."

At this moment, Qiao Nian saw in Jing Yan's eyes a self that was so happy that it glowed.

However, there was a completely different scene outside the house at this moment.

Xiao Heng stood by the window expressionlessly, looking carefully at the scene in the house through the half-open window.

He has been here for a while.

From the moment she asked Jing Yan if it hurt, to later asking Jing Yan if he wanted to marry her, he heard everything clearly.

The medicine bottle that was originally intended to be given to Jing Yan had already been crushed by him, and the fragments were stuck between the palm and the five fingers, and blood fell drop by drop along the fingers.

At this moment, Xiao Heng clearly understood how he felt.

Anger, unwillingness, jealousy.

He even wanted to rush in and punch Jing Yan, telling him to stay away from Qiao Nian!

However, he knew that at this moment, he was not even qualified to push open the door.

"General! Something happened!"

At this moment, a soldier hurried over and saluted Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng frowned and glanced into the room subconsciously.

The door was opened and Qiao Nian walked out first. Seeing Xiao Heng standing outside, she couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Xiao Heng hurriedly put his injured hand behind his back, and then he cooled his eyebrows, looked at the soldier, and said, "What's the matter?"

"The second young lady of the Lin family has been arrested. The young Marquis has just rescued her, but the second young lady of the Lin family seems to have been stimulated. General, go and have a look!"

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's first reaction was resistance.

Since everyone has been rescued and returned to the house, it is not a big deal, but they actually sent someone to spread the news to the military camp!

However, he just didn't want to stay here at the moment.

Glancing at Qiao Nian from the corner of his eyes, he finally strode out.

Seeing Xiao Heng leaving in such a hurry, Jing Yan stood behind Qiao Nian and couldn't help but ask, "Would you like to go back and have a look too?"

Qiao Nian's eyes were slightly cold, "It's time to go back and see what tricks Lin Yuan is playing."

Hearing this, Jing Yan frowned slightly, "Trick? Is there something fishy about this matter?"

Qiao Nian nodded and told Jing Yan about the little beggar.

Jing Yan's face darkened, "It seems like there is indeed something fishy, ​​but why did Second Miss Lin do this?"

Qiao Nian didn't answer because she knew that Lin Yuan was trying to deal with her.

However, Jing Yan was injured just now and needed a good rest. She couldn't let him worry.

So, she turned around and said to Jing Yan, "I'll go back and take a look first. You have a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Jing Yan nodded, "That's fine, then you should be careful."

"Yeah." Qiao Nian responded, then turned and left.

She came on horseback, and now she also rode back to the house.

As soon as he got off the horse, Ningshuang came out and said, "Miss! You are finally back!"

Ningshuang's face was full of anxiety.

Qiao Nian frowned slightly, "What's wrong?"

Ningshuang had always been waiting for her in Fanghe Garden, but today she came to greet her outside the house, so something big must have happened.

Ningshuang hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "The second young lady just woke up and kept crying. The slave listened to her words and blamed them on the young lady, so she immediately came to wait outside the house. Miss, Hou The master and the young marquis are both going crazy right now. Just now the young marquis said he would tear your mouth apart, so be careful!"

Qiao Nian couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Sure enough, it was for her.

She patted Ningshuang's shoulder and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, the soldiers will come to cover up the water and the soil. Your young lady will be fine."

After that, he walked into the house.

Ningshuang hurriedly followed her, thinking that if the young prince really wanted to fight with her young lady, she might as well stand in the middle and make a shield for her young lady.

Not long after, Qiao Nian walked into Luomei Courtyard.

Before the maid guarding Lin Yuan's house had time to bow and report, Qiao Nian had already entered the house first.

In the house, Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Lin Ye were all there.

It's a familiar scene.

The only difference is that there is one more Xiao Heng.

Mrs. Lin was sitting by the bed at the moment, hugging Lin Yuan on the bed and comforting her. When she saw Qiao Nian coming back, although there was worry in her eyes, she didn't say a word.

However, Lin Ye rushed up immediately, "You still have the nerve to come see Yuan'er!"

Seeing this, Ningshuang was startled, her small body swerved forward, and stood between Qiao Nian and Lin Ye, "Little Marquis, calm down, no matter what, you can't just listen to the second lady's words, right?"

"Get out of here!" Lin Ye pushed Ningshuang to the ground with a fierce push. "What else can she say to make excuses? I had already coaxed Yuan'er. If she hadn't said that to Yuan'er, After all, how could Yuan'er be so angry that she would be caught by a beggar?"

Qiao Nian glanced at Lin Yuan lightly, "What did I say?"

Lin Yuan's head was on Mrs. Lin's shoulder, and she didn't dare to look at Qiao Nian.

Lin Ye said for her, "You said Xiao Heng was not drunk, but he deliberately wanted to kiss you!"

How could she say this without being ashamed!

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian raised her eyebrows slightly and stared straight at Lin Ye, "Why, is this sentence wrong?"
