Chapter 128
No one answered after the voice fell.
Was she wrong?
Of course not.
They all knew how good Xiao Heng's alcohol tolerance was, and they all knew that Xiao Heng was not drunk at all, and he did not recognize the wrong person at all.
Not to mention Lin Ye, even Xiao Heng, who was standing next to him, could not say that she was wrong.
Lord Lin had wanted to get angry when he saw Xiao Heng. Now that he heard Qiao Nian say this, he could no longer bear it and spoke in a deep voice.
"General Xiao, although my Lin family's ancestors have made an engagement with your Xiao family, and because their biological daughter was swapped 18 years ago, this engagement has become more dramatic, but, from the beginning to the end, my Lin family promised your Xiao family only a daughter. For today's matter, please give me an explanation, otherwise, I will go to the palace to ask for an order to cancel the marriage between you and my two families!"
"Dad!"
Lin Yuan shouted, tears falling.
Obviously, she did not want to cancel the engagement.
She just wanted to let everyone know that Qiao Nian was coveting this marriage, and wanted the elders of the two families to be anxious so that she could marry Xiao Heng as soon as possible.
But her shouting had dispelled most of the fierce momentum of Lord Lin.
Lord Lin frowned and cursed Lin Yuan for not living up to expectations.
And Xiao Heng finally spoke, "It is indeed my fault for what happened today."
"Of course you are wrong!" Lin Ye shouted angrily, "But is she innocent?"
He stared at Qiao Nian, and the anger in his heart burst out, "Even if you know that Xiao Heng is not drunk, do you have to tell Yuan'er? You must let her know that Xiao Heng has you in his heart, and you must make her feel uncomfortable, right? Do you know that she was almost killed by those beggars..."
Lin Ye did not say the rest of the words.
But it was enough to make people imagine endlessly.
Qiao Nian frowned and suddenly looked at Lin Yuan, "How was she almost killed by those beggars?"
Lin Yuan still did not dare to look into Qiao Nian's eyes.
She felt that Qiao Nian's eyes were too sharp, as if they could see through her at any time!
Facing Qiao Nian's questioning, she just shrank back into Mrs. Lin's arms.
Sensing Lin Yuan's fear, Mrs. Lin spoke, "Yuan'er is so delicate and beautiful, how could she fall into the hands of those beggars? Your brother is right. Even if you said that, do you have to say it? Do you know that if your brother hadn't arrived in time today, you would have caused a terrible disaster!"
This is the thing that the woman fears most in her life. If those beggars really succeeded today, how could Yuan'er survive?
Mrs. Lin was really heartbroken, and she cried bitterly with Lin Yuanqi.
Seeing that Lin Yuan refused to speak, Qiao Nian looked at Lin Ye again, "Where are those beggars?"
Lin Ye's eyes widened, full of disbelief, "Yuan'er was almost defiled, you don't care about her, don't admit your mistakes to her, but care about those cruel beggars?"
Qiao Nian ignored what Lin Ye said, she frowned and continued to ask, "I asked you where those beggars are? What did you do to them!"
Lin Ye was furious and blurted out, "I killed them! I killed all those beggars! They have ulterior motives and deserve to die!"
"You!" Qiao Nian was really angry with Lin Ye.
How can there be such a reckless and impulsive person in this world!
"You killed someone without even asking clearly?"
"What do you want to ask!" Lin Ye shouted angrily, "I saw a beggar trying to defile Yuan'er with my own eyes!"
"Lin Yuan!"
Qiao Nian also shouted angrily, startling Lin Yuan on the bed.
Seeing this, Madam Lin tried to comfort him.
But Qiao Nian asked, "Someone died, and you still refuse to tell the truth?!"
"What are you yelling about! I don't think you will be ignorant if I don't teach you a lesson today!" Lin Ye was furious and was about to attack Qiao Nian again. Ning Shuang rushed to protect Qiao Nian in a hurry.
But he didn't expect that Xiao Heng would take the lead this time.
He grabbed Lin Ye's fist that was about to fall, and frowned slightly, "Maybe there is something else going on in this matter."
This was the conclusion he made based on his own judgment. Lin Yuan kept silent because it was obviously not that simple.
But he didn't expect that when Xiao Heng stood in front of Qiao Nian, Lord Lin was furious, "General Xiao, you should think it through!"
He only had these two daughters, and they were not for Xiao Heng to be fickle and wavering!
At this moment, a servant outside hurried over, "Master, Lieutenant General Jing is asking for an audience outside the mansion!"
Hearing this, Qiao Nian's heart tightened.
Jing Yan had just been injured, why did he come here?
Lord Lin didn't know what happened in Zui Xiang Lou yet. He thought Jing Yan was here to see Xiao Heng. He was afraid that it was some important military business, so he didn't dare to neglect him, so he said coldly, "Let him in!"
It didn't take long for Jing Yan to come, but there was a little beggar following him.
It was the little beggar who came to Zui Xiang Lou to inform Lin Ye before.
This time, even Lin Ye couldn't help but be startled, and then turned to look at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan didn't know what happened to Lin Ye, but Lin Ye's eyes made her panic.
Jing Yan didn't enter the house, but stood at the door and saluted.
Xiao Heng walked towards Jing Yan and asked, "What's the matter?"
Jing Yan said, "I heard about the second lady's incident and thought it was strange, so I found this little beggar. Maybe he can help."
Having said this, Jing Yan looked at Qiao Nian and gave her a reassuring look.
Qiao Nian still frowned.
She didn't know how Jing Yan found this little beggar. She only knew that after she left the military camp, Jing Yan must have come out of the military camp without stopping.
He was worried that she would be made trouble in the Hou Mansion, so he went to find this little beggar to testify for her.
But he was obviously so seriously injured!
Qiao Nian was really worried, so she kept staring at Jing Yan, fearing that he might faint at any time because his expression was wrong.
Qiao Nian's appearance was also noticed by Xiao Heng on the side.
Xiao Heng did not expect that as soon as Jing Yan arrived, there would be no one else in Qiao Nian's eyes.
But it was clear that in the past, he was the only one in her eyes!
The jealousy he had felt in the military camp surged up again. Xiao Heng tightened his fists and felt a heart-piercing pain from the wounds on his hands, barely suppressing the strange feeling in his heart.
Lin Ye and Lin Houye also came over.
Seeing the little beggar hiding half of his body behind Jing Yan, sobbing and looking very sad, Mr. Lin couldn't help but frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What does this little beggar have to do with Yuan'er's matter?" ?”
Marquis Lin has always been majestic, but his frowning look is even more frightening now. What's more, the little beggar was already heartbroken by the death of his relatives. Now he is even more frightened and completely hid behind Jing Yan. Apart from crying loudly, a No words can come out.
Seeing this, Jing Yan had no choice but to squat down and comfort him, "Don't worry, that is Marquis Lin. He is an upright man. If you have anything to say, tell him truthfully and he will not embarrass you."
Hearing Jing Yan say that he was upright, Marquis Lin couldn't help but puff up his chest slightly.
And the little beggar finally made other moves.
He saw that he took out a large ingot of silver from his chest, "Yes, it was given to us by my sister. She asked us to do that, wuwuwu, but she killed my father, I don't want it anymore!"
The little beggar said, throwing the silver in his hand to the ground, "I don't want it anymore! I want my dad, woo woo, woo, woo, I want my dad!"
