After three years of slavery, the entire mansion begged me for forgiveness

The scars seemed to prove how much Xiao Heng cared about her.

Qiao Nian's eyes were filled with tears unconsciously.

She reached out and gently touched the scar on his chest, her fingertips were as cold as a weapon.

She suddenly spoke and asked softly, "Does it hurt?"

Xiao Heng's eyebrows jumped unexpectedly.

Does it hurt?

These two words were what she had asked Jing Yan.

He witnessed how she and Jing Yan hugged each other after that, so at this moment, a bad emotion blocked his heart, and he couldn't answer a word.

But she suddenly looked up at him, and the tears in her eyes finally rolled down.

That soft, soft voice said: "Jing Yan must be in pain."

She saw with her own eyes that there was a huge hole in Jing Yan's body at this position.

The soldiers said that it was a sword blocked for Xiao Heng, which pierced through his body.

She thought that Jing Yan must have been in a lot of pain at that time.

Xiao Heng never thought that at this moment, looking at his wounds, Qiao Nian was still thinking of Jing Yan.

He subconsciously took a step back, avoiding her cold fingertips, and even his breathing became rapid.

"Niannian, you can't be so cruel to me..."

Even if she was thinking of Xiao He at this moment, he wouldn't be so sad.

But she was thinking of Jing Yan.

Then, how should he fight?

What should he do to win over a dead person?

As if he was still struggling hard, Xiao Heng said in a trembling voice, "Obviously, I am the one who has always protected you, Niannian, think about it carefully, from childhood to adulthood, I have been protecting you..."

Before he finished speaking, Qiao Nian laughed out loud.

Tears were pouring down her face, and she looked at him as if she was watching a joke.

"I admit that before Lin Yuan appeared, you and Lin Ye did protect me. But what about after Lin Yuan appeared? Where were you when I was wronged and bullied by Lin Ye?"

She will never forget it.

In Fahua Temple, she was abused by Lin Ye in public.

And he just stood aside, beside Lin Yuan, without saying a word.

Xiao Heng shook his head subconsciously, "I didn't mean to watch coldly. Lin Ye is your brother, and I can't interfere with my identity..."

At that time, he was Lin Yuan's fiancé.

What would others think if he took action in public?

This was his thought at the time, but now, he regretted it.

Qiao Nian laughed even more miserably. She didn't want to do this, but tears just couldn't stop falling.

"So now, General Xiao is taking advantage of me because I have no father or mother, no relatives or friends, so he openly set up a plan to take me away from your eldest brother and abduct me here to be imprisoned?"

As she spoke, she walked towards him.

This time, it was Xiao Heng who retreated.

Qiao Nian's eyes fell on the scars in front of him again, and he smiled bitterly, "General Xiao, you don't think that these scars will make me soft-hearted, right? You dare to swear that these injuries are all for me?"

"After Brother Xiao was injured, the emperor insisted on keeping the military power in the Xiao family, so that the Xiao family became the target of public criticism in the court, so you took on the responsibility of the Xiao family and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy? Your injuries are for the Xiao family, for the emperor, for the military power, but not for me."

"Your military merits , it is your token of surrender to the emperor. You cannot ask for a reward, let alone a promotion, so I can only leave the laundry bureau in exchange!"

"After all, I should thank General Xiao for remembering our childhood sweetheart relationship. Otherwise, I should still be a slave in the laundry bureau. I thank General Xiao for his kindness! But I only ask you not to say that this choice after weighing the pros and cons is for me."

"I can't afford it."

The last four words, like a heavy hammer, hit Xiao Heng's heart hard.

Xiao Heng took another step back, but was tripped by a stool. He staggered and almost fell back.

Perhaps, the noise was a little louder, and Qiao'er and Hui'er outside the house rushed in in a hurry.

Xiao Heng immediately shouted, "Who let you in! Get out!"

Unexpectedly, Qiao'er and Hui'er both knelt down.

"Madam, please forgive General Xiao! General Xiao really cares about you! He heard that you wanted to see him, so he came here despite his serious injury!"

"Who allowed you to talk too much? Get out!"

Xiao Heng shouted again.

Qiao'er and Hui'er wanted to persuade him again. They couldn't bear to see their savior so miserable, but they didn't dare to disobey Xiao Heng's eyes.

They stood up, wiped their tears, and walked out of the house.

Qiao Nian was a little stunned.

Serious injury?

When did Xiao Heng get injured?

Subconsciously, she looked at him. Of course, she couldn't see anything on his chest, but there seemed to be a long mark on Xiao Heng's arm.

There were also several blood marks on his clothes.

Was he whipped?

As if he noticed Qiao Nian's probing eyes.

Xiao Heng then spoke to comfort him, "My father just whipped me a few times, it's okay."

Qiao Nian was most familiar with whip wounds.

The marks on Xiao Heng's arm should have been from three days ago, but the bloodstains on his clothes were still so clear, which proved that Xiao's father had killed him.

No wonder Qiao'er and Hui'er said that Xiao Heng was seriously injured.

She took a deep breath and asked, "Does Uncle Xiao know that you kidnapped me?"

After thinking about it, it seems that only this possibility can make Father Xiao so upset.

Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, and then he replied in a deep voice, "Yes."

Qiao Nian sneered again.

She raised her hand and wiped the tears from her face, as if asking an insignificant question, "I don't understand one thing. Since General Xiao said that you have me in your heart, why did you nod to the engagement three years ago?"

Since he has her in his heart, shouldn't he insist on it?

With his temperament, he will insist on what he wants!

Xiao Heng lowered his eyes, thinking of everything that happened that day, his tone became gloomy, "My mother has been crying..."

"Then this time, Madam Xiao didn't cry?" Qiao Nian interrupted Xiao Heng's words, with a pair of cold and light eyes, just looking at him quietly.

This time, I'm afraid Madam Xiao will cry even more miserably, right?

Xiao Heng frowned, gritted his teeth, and said, "I won't make the same mistake again."

"But it's too late." The tears on his face had dried, and Qiao Nian's voice seemed so calm, "If you hadn't driven me away when I went to find you three years ago, we wouldn't have come to this point now."

If Xiao Heng had been as tough as he is now three years ago, and would rather be beaten to death than let go, then they might have had a completely different ending from now.

After all, it's too late...
