Chapter 141

Jing Yan was stunned.

Hunger strike?

Eat swill?

In the past few days, he had been busy with his father's affairs. Occasionally, when he was free, he would miss her.

He knew that she must be very worried, thinking that she might not be able to eat or sleep well because of his father's affairs.

So he came right away.

The guards at the Hou Mansion wouldn't let him in, and he didn't dare to climb over the wall, fearing that his rash move would make her situation even more difficult.

But he never thought that she would make such a big sacrifice.

He originally thought his father could be released because the evidence he found was strong enough.

But now he was shocked to realize that the reason his father was able to walk out of Jingzhao Mansion was because she was on a hunger strike and eating swill!

His heart felt like it was being torn apart by something.

Jing Yan had never hated himself so much before.

I hate myself for being incompetent. I promised to protect her, but in the end, I let her be tortured to this point for myself!

At this moment, Lin Ye found an opportunity, broke away from Jing Yan's restraint, and punched Jing Yan twice in the face.

"It's because of you! You bastard! Why did you marry my sister!"

Jing Yan was beaten so hard that he staggered back two steps, but he came back to his senses and rushed towards Lin Ye. His huge fist greeted Lin Ye's face unceremoniously, "Why are you doing this?" Bullying her! Even if she is not your biological child, she is still the daughter you have raised for fifteen years!"

Lin Ye took a few punches and vomited blood immediately, but still did not give in and punched Jing Yan, "If you, a toad, hadn't wanted to eat swan meat, she wouldn't have been tortured like this!"

Jing Yan didn't hide, nor did he want to hide.

He felt that he deserved the punches he received.

It was his useless punishment!

However, he didn't think Lin Ye was any better than him.

Then he punched her hard and shouted in a cold voice, "It's obviously you who are skinning her and drinking her blood!"

Lin Ye was knocked to the ground, struggled to get up, and sat on the ground breathing heavily.

A mouthful of blood gushed out from his mouth, and he vomited it on the ground, but suddenly he felt that the pain in his heart that had been hollowed out seemed to have improved a lot.

After receiving the news, the guards of the Hou Mansion finally rushed out and surrounded Jing Yan.

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye suddenly shouted sharply, "Whoever asked you to come out, go back!"

The guards were stunned for a moment, couldn't help but glance at each other, and then returned to the house angrily.

Lin Ye then stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his body. The corners of his mouth were blue and purple, and there was blood oozing from his eyes. He looked extremely embarrassed.

Just then I heard Jing Yan's accusation, "You are all man-eating beasts, you will not stop until you gnaw all her bones! But little Marquis, I wish you were not like this back then! Who would have dared to do that back then?" You can fight her even if you touch a hair of hers, why are you trying to make things difficult for her now? Do you have to force her to death to be satisfied?"

His voice was rich, but a little hoarse due to the strong anger.

Remember those days?

Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, then sneered, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at him, "Why, you said it as if you would risk your life for her."

"I can!" Jing Yan agreed without hesitation, "I will protect her with my life!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye just smiled coldly, full of sarcasm.

He thought that Jing Yan couldn't even protect his father, but he still wanted to protect Nian Nian!

But he didn't say this.

He just turned around and looked at the guard guarding the door, and then said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

Jing Yan was shocked.

When he saw the guards retreating to both sides, he realized that it was true. He was overjoyed and rushed to the house without forgetting to say thank you, "Thank you, little Marquis!"

Seeing Jing Yan running into the house, Lin Ye clenched his fists unconsciously.

After Jing Yan entered the mansion, he went straight to Fanghe Garden.

But, in the end, I still couldn't see Qiao Nian.

Ningshuang stood outside the house and saluted Jing Yan with a faint smile on her lips, "It's great that Vice-General Jing's father is okay, but my lady has rested today. I'm afraid she won't be able to see the Vice-General. Please ask the Vice-General Come back another day!”

Jing Yan frowned and couldn't help but ask, "Is she not willing to see me?"

Ningshuang's expression froze slightly, and she said hurriedly, "Vice-General Jing, don't think too much. Miss has not had a good rest in the past few days. I just heard that your father was released and went to sleep peacefully. I really can't bear to disturb you."

Jing Yan's heart suddenly twitched, and he nodded hastily, "Yes, don't disturb her, let her have a good sleep. Then, I'll come back tomorrow..."

He said and stepped back

But unexpectedly, Ningshuang called him hastily, "Vice General Jing!"

Jing Yan paused and raised his eyes to look at her.

They saw that although Ningshuang still had a smile on her lips, her brows and eyes were clearly stained with sadness, "What my lady means is that Vice General Jing's father must have suffered in prison these days. You should be more careful these days." Stay with your family and appease the elderly. My lady will visit you again in a few days."

Qiao Nian will go to see him in a few days, so he doesn't have to come again.

Jing Yan still nodded repeatedly, he understood, he understood everything.

She had been on a hunger strike for several days, and she must be very weak now. She didn't want him to see her weakness. She was afraid that he would worry and blame himself, so she didn't want to see him.

He understands everything.

However, the heart-rending pain in his heart hit him so overwhelmingly that his eyes couldn't help but turn red.

He really hated himself for being useless.

Ningshuang saw through Jing Yan's thoughts at a glance, and hurriedly said, "Deputy General Jing, the young lady has you in her heart."

Hearing this, Jing Yan was stunned, but it seemed that he didn't know what to do except nodding.

He just kept responding, "I know, I know..."

Seeing this, Ningshuang didn't know what to say, so she could only bow and turn back to the house.

In the house, Qiao Nian was lying on the edge of the bed.

She just vomited again.

She hadn't eaten for a few days, and her stomach was empty. The first bite she took was swill, and her stomach couldn't stand it and vomited it all out.

Fortunately, the doctor gave her medicine, saying that she should drink it after she vomited it all.

At this moment, Ningshuang came in, and seeing Qiao Nian vomiting with scarlet eyes, her eyes were red with heartache, "Miss, how are you, do you feel better?"

Qiao Nian nodded slightly, raised her hand and pointed to the medicine left by the doctor.

Ningshuang hurriedly brought it and fed it to Qiao Nian.

The warm medicine flowed into her stomach little by little, which really made her feel much better.

After she drank all the medicine, she let out a long sigh, leaned against the head of the bed, and asked weakly, "Jing Yan is gone?"

Ningshuang frowned and nodded slightly, "He should be gone." Then, she was puzzled again, "I saw that Deputy General Jing was very sad, why didn't the young lady want to see him?"

Qiao Nian closed her eyes and sighed, but she had no strength to speak again.

This matter was caused by her, and it was most appropriate for her to solve it.

But if Jing Yan saw her like this now, he would definitely be sad, upset, and blame himself...

He has done a good job, and she doesn't want to make him uncomfortable.

Ningshuang didn't say anything else, she just covered the quilt for Qiao Nian, wanting Qiao Nian to have a good rest.

But thinking back to Jing Yan's eyes just now, she was also a little worried in her heart.

Deputy General Jing, will he retreat like this?
