Chapter 174

Go back quietly, it's just their family of four.

There is no Xiao Heng.

There is no Qiao Nian either...

From then on, these nobles in Beijing had nothing to do with them.

Xiao Heng nodded slightly.

He could understand what Jing's father was thinking, so naturally he wouldn't force it.

Qiao Nian also understood.

She took a deep breath and walked forward to Jing's mother who had cried until she was helpless. She took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and said, "I don't deserve this bracelet..."

Unexpectedly, before she could finish her words, Jing's mother held down her hand. Even though her face was full of exhaustion, Jing's mother still gave Qiao Nian a bitter smile, "I'll give it to you. It's yours. It would really make Yan'er sad if you gave it back to me."

Qiao Nian stared at Jing's mother blankly.

Let her keep this jade bracelet, which means that the Jing family recognizes her.

She didn't expect that the Jing family would still recognize her after everything happened!

A sour sorrow surged in her heart, and Qiao Nian couldn't help but hug Jing's mother tightly, feeling grateful and guilty.

Jing's mother gently patted Qiao Nian's back, which was to comfort her, but wasn't it also a feeling of helplessness?

Seeing this scene, Jing's father couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and after a while he finally said, "Okay, it's getting late, we should go."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian let go of Jing's mother. Ningshuang came forward and helped her retreat to the side.

Jing's father and Jing's mother both got into the carriage and accompanied Jing Yan home.

Jing Rou also followed, but when she passed Qiao Nian, she whispered, "My brother left something for you in your room."

Qiao Nian was stunned and wanted to ask something more, but saw Jing Rou running forward without looking back.

It wasn't until the team had become a very small spot in his sight that Qiao Nian withdrew his gaze.

Turning around, he saw Xiao Heng still standing at the city gate.

Seeing Qiao Nian turn around, Xiao Heng frowned and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you back home."

Qiao Nian raised her hand to wipe away the wet tears on her face, and then said, "No need, just Ningshuang go back with me."

After saying that, Qiao Nian saluted Xiao Heng and strode away.

Jing Rou said that Jing Yan left something for her.

She had to go back and take a look.

When passing by Xiao Heng, she did not look at him.

But she could notice that Xiao Heng's eyes had been falling on her, tightly, just like before, she had been following his eyes.

But that was a long, long time ago.

It's been so long that she has forgotten it.

Ningshuang prepared a carriage for her.

Qiao Nian sat in the carriage and said nothing during the whole journey.

But she didn't expect that when the carriage stopped outside the house and she got off the carriage, she would see someone she never wanted to see again in her life.

Mrs. Lin, and Lin Ye.

Qiao Nian subconsciously raised her eyes and glanced at the plaque on the door of the mansion, and then she was sure that this was her small mansion, not the Marquis' mansion.

But why are they here?

At that moment, her eyebrows were frowning unconsciously, and Qiao Nian just stood there without saluting or moving forward.

Lin Ye could tell at a glance that Qiao Nian did not welcome them. After subconsciously glancing at Mrs. Lin beside him, he said, "I knew you were coming back today and was very worried, so I came over to see you."

His tone was very calm, just like when he took her back home.

But Qiao Nian knew that he couldn't pretend to be calm for long.

She looked at Mrs. Lin, "Mrs. Laurin is concerned about me. I'm fine."

Logically speaking, people have already arrived outside the house, so they have to be invited in to sit for a while.

But with Qiao Nian's indifferent look, she clearly didn't want to invite them into the house.

Mrs. Lin naturally noticed it, with tears in her eyes and a hint of crying in her voice, "Nian Nian, mother has heard that everyone has their own destiny, so don't take it to heart!"

Qiao Nian knew that Mrs. Lin was here to comfort her.

However, these words of comfort are really unpleasant to hear.

What does it mean that everyone has his own destiny?

Does Jing Yan deserve to die?

She frowned, but she was really unable to argue with them.

He only took a deep breath and sighed, "I have severed ties with the Hou Mansion. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with the Hou Mansion. I hope you two will not come back again in the future."

After saying that, she walked up to the house.

Without exception, Lin Ye's roar came from behind, "Qiao Nian! Don't you know what's good and what's good! Mom usually doesn't leave the house twice, but she came here because she cares about you!"

Qiao Nian paused, clenched his fist slightly, and then asked, "What about you?"

Hearing this, Lin Ye was stunned and did not realize what Qiao Nian meant.

But Qiao Nian suddenly turned around and looked at him, with a pair of eyes that looked at him with scrutiny and questioning, "Then why did you come here? Do you care about me, or do you feel guilty?"

In fact, there was something she couldn't figure out.

Jing Yan was obviously fine when he sent her home that day, and had never mentioned military merit before. Why did he suddenly say that he wanted to do military merit for her, and even left the capital overnight without even saying a word? She stays?

She thought that someone must have said something to Jing Yan.

Besides Xiao Heng and Lin Ye, she couldn't think of a third one.

But now, Lin Ye's panicked eyes gave her the answer.

She suddenly clenched her fists, filled with hatred, "It's really you!"

Lin Ye did feel guilty, but he did it out of good intentions that day. It was because Qiao Nian had to be with Jing Yan that he came up with this idea for Jing Yan!

Thinking of this, Lin Ye's voice became more and more angry, "What about me? I just saw that you were determined to break off the relationship with your father, so I couldn't help but find a way out for him! I'm doing it for your own good, I have What is there to feel guilty about? If you want to blame him, he can only blame himself for his short life!"

"Lin Ye!" Qiao Nian shouted, his angry voice trembling violently, "Try saying something again!"

Lin Ye also knew that his last words really shouldn't be said.

The person is already dead, how can he still say such evil words?

It's just that his mouth is really faster than his brain.

At that moment, he could only frown tightly and say nothing.

On the side, Mrs. Lin was busy trying to persuade her, "Nian Nian, that's not what your brother means..."

"He is not my brother!" Qiao Nian shouted sharply, tears welling up in her eyes, "You are not my mother either! I have severed ties with the Hou Mansion!"

Having said this, Qiao Nian couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at Lin Ye, "Do you think I insisted on breaking off the relationship with the Hou Mansion because of Jing Yan? Since Lin Yuan came back, all the things you have done to me are... Which one is not worthy of my disapproval?"

"Now that Jing Yan is dead, are you all satisfied? Just think of it as my begging, okay? Stay away from me and don't let me see you again, okay!" After drinking, Qiao Nian just turned around and walked inside. .

Behind her, Mrs. Lin sadly shouted loudly, "Nian Nian!"

Qiao Nian stopped again.

It only made Mrs. Lin think that Qiao Nian was soft-hearted.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian didn't even look back, and his voice was filled with hatred and indifference, "Lin Ye, I will never forgive you in this life!"

After that, Qiao Nian walked into the house.

With a wave of his hand, the heavy door slowly closed.

It also completely shut out the extremely shocked and angry faces of Mrs. Lin and Lin Ye...
