Chapter 140

Lin Ye glared at Qiao Nian, as if he was worried that Qiao Nian would not eat, and then spoke again, "If you can eat this bucket, I guarantee that the Hou Mansion will never trouble Jing Yan again!"

Listening to Lin Ye's words, Mrs. Lin felt her heart twitching, "Ye'er, how could you do this to your sister! She hasn't eaten for several days, how can you force her to eat swill?!"

Lin Ye turned to look at Mrs. Lin, "Mom! It's not that I'm cruel, but she is too cunning! This time I can force Yuan'er to go on a hunger strike, but who knows what she will do next time? You really can't trust her anymore. …”

Before he finished speaking, there was a gasp from all around.

Lin Ye only felt strange, but found that even Lin Yuan stopped swallowing and looked behind him in horror along with everyone else.

As if he realized something, Lin Ye froze, and then slowly turned back.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian was lying down next to the swill bucket at some point. He put both hands into the swill bucket, grabbed the contents of the bucket and put it into his mouth.

She didn't eat quickly, not at all like Lin Yuan who devoured it.

She just ate calmly.

Calm, as if eating ordinary food.

But, that’s the swill left over from last night!

Everyone poured it in after eating leftovers!

Not to mention eating it, just standing aside, he could smell the peculiar smell coming out of the swill bucket!

Just smelling it makes me feel sick to my stomach.

But how could she eat it so deliciously?

Lin Yuan's eyes trembled violently.

She knew that she was the one who harmed Qiao Nian three years ago, but she never quite knew what she had done to her.

It wasn't until this moment, when she saw that woman who was once as bright as a pearl, now holding a swill bucket and eating like a beggar on the street, that she finally realized what she had done to Qiao Nian!

Thinking of this, her heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin almost subconsciously, and saw that the two people were still stunned in place, their trembling eyes full of tears.

What should I do? They began to feel sorry for Qiao Nian...

As Lin Ye watched this scene, he unconsciously pictured Qiao Nian being surrounded by a group of palace maids and being forced to eat swill, and his heart couldn't help but ache.

He took several deep breaths before he seemed to have come back to his senses. He couldn't help but softly said, "Don't eat..."

The voice was bitter and hoarse.

Qiao Nian didn't seem to hear it and continued to eat the food scraps in his hands.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Nian Nian, don't eat..."

However, Qiao Nian just raised her eyes to look at him and continued eating.

Finally, Lin Ye couldn't bear it any longer. He took a step forward and kicked the swill bucket to the ground. He grabbed Qiao Nian's wrists with both hands and suddenly pulled Qiao Nian up. He roared, "I let you." Don’t eat it!”

Their eyes met, and Lin Ye saw his own ferocious look in Qiao Nian's dim pupils.

Qiao Nian just looked at him quietly, chewing in her mouth. After swallowing, she turned her head slightly and ate the remaining residue in front of Lin Ye...

Lin Ye was completely stunned.

Obviously, the face in front of me still looked like the one she had when she was drinking and having fun with him in Zuixiang Tower, and when she was looking for fireflies in the woods outside the city.

Obviously, she is the sister he has loved since childhood, the sister he cannot bear to suffer any injustice!

Why are you being tortured like this now?

The people around him finally came to their senses.

Mrs. Lin exclaimed and rushed forward. She kept wiping Qiao Nian's hand with the Shu brocade handkerchief. Her tears were gushing and she couldn't stop it. "Okay, I won't eat anymore! Nian Nian, be good. We won't eat anymore in the future." No more! No more, no more..."

Mrs. Lin was crying while speaking, her voice was mournful, which only made everyone around her red-eyed and shed tears.

Mr. Lin turned around and shouted at the maids angrily, "Are they all fools? Why don't you go and ask the doctor to come and take a look at the young lady! Go and get the bird's nest porridge!"

After drinking, he still didn't dare to turn around and look at Qiao Nian.

Ningshuang also walked up to Qiao Nian at this time, took out a handkerchief and wiped Qiao Nian's other hand. Her tears kept falling one after another, "Miss, wuwuwu, I will help you back to the house." …”

However, Qiao Nian just looked at Lin Ye calmly and spoke slowly, in a dry and hoarse voice, "I hope the young Marquis will keep his word."

After today, the Hou Mansion can no longer cause trouble to Jing Yan’s family!

And these words finally stimulated Lin Ye.

He looked at her with confusion on his face, "You like Jing Yan so much?"

I love it so much that I can eat this big bucket of swill for Jing Yan in front of everyone?

What kind of ability does Jing Yan have in her body that allows her to do this?

Qiao Nian ignored him and let Ningshuang help her walk into the house.

Does she like Jing Yan that much?

She doesn't know either.

All she knew was that being in the Marquis Mansion was like being in a river and sea. Huge waves were coming, and she could do nothing but struggle desperately to prevent herself from sinking into the water.

Jing Yan, however, was like a floating boat, appearing when she was about to drown, pulling her into the boat and giving her warmth.

All of them said that Jingyan could not protect him, and that small floating boat could only drift with the current on the river and sea.

When huge waves hit, this floating boat will break, leak, and eventually sink into the river and sea with her...

But they didn't know that it was Ye Fuzhou who saved her life.

So, no matter what happens, as long as Jing Yan doesn't abandon her, she can't give up on Jing Yan!

Mrs. Lin wiped away her tears and wanted to follow Qiao Nian into the house, but before she could step through the door, she was stopped by Qiao Nian.

"As long as Ningshuang takes care of me, Mrs. Lin, please come back!"

After the words fell, Qiao Nian entered the room and said lightly, "Close the door."

Ningshuang cried and nodded, then turned around and shut everyone out.

The sound of the wooden door closing slowly was long and dull.

Although Mrs. Lin was only one step away from her, she seemed to be locked away thousands of miles away.

That small door not only blocked out everyone in the Marquis Mansion, but also blocked out all their care and love.

The care and love that she had longed for day and night but could not get.

Lin Ye walked away with a puff of his sleeves.

He felt as if a piece of his heart had been ripped out, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

He is going to Zuixianglou and drinking.

He had to find a way to fill it!

But unexpectedly, he saw Jing Yan outside the house.

The strange feeling in his heart instantly turned into anger, and Lin Ye rushed towards Jing Yan without thinking.

Jing Yan has been running around for his father these days. After taking his father back to his residence to settle down, he came to the Hou Mansion non-stop.

He wanted to come and tell Qiao Nian that the matter was resolved, so that Qiao Nian should not worry. However, the Marquis refused to let him see Qiao Nian, and the guards outside the door blocked him, not letting him get closer.

After finally seeing Lin Ye, he wanted to go forward and ask Lin Yuan for help. He never thought that Lin Ye would feel like an enemy when he saw him. After giving in a few moves, he saw that Lin Ye had no intention of stopping, so he just He was able to catch him, his eyebrows were downcast and stained with displeasure, "If the young marquis strikes again, don't blame Jing for being rude!"

Lin Ye was furious, "Who are you! How dare you come to my Marquis's mansion and act so wantonly! Why did you let my sister go on a hunger strike for you? Why did you let her eat swill for you! Who are you! Who do you think you are!"

He yelled angrily and cursed to the end, but he didn't know whether he was scolding Jing Yan or himself.
