Hearing this question, the tears in Lin Yuan's eyes finally burst. She shook her head repeatedly, "No, I have never harmed my sister. It was me who broke the glass bowl back then. It was my fault, but the person who wronged my sister was Xiaocui..."

She tried her best to tell Qiao Nian that she had never harmed her.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian leaned against the door and asked her softly, "Then why didn't you tell her three years ago?"

Lin Yuan was stunned, unable to realize what Qiao Nian's words meant.

Then a strong sarcasm appeared on Qiao Nian's lips, "You broke the glass bowl. Why didn't you say these eight words in front of the queen and princess three years ago?"

Lin Yuan seemed to have lost her footing and took a step back, "I, I didn't dare... That was my first time entering the palace. It was my first time to see so many noble people. I, I was very scared at the time. ,I……"

"Then what are you going to say to me now?" Qiao Nian interrupted Lin Yuan again.

What should she say to make her pretend that nothing happened in the past three years?

Lin Yuan cried so hard that she lowered her head, no longer daring to look at Qiao Nian, "As long as sister can forgive me, I am willing to return everything to sister. I will tell my parents and brother, sister, you You have never bullied me, Luomeiyuan, I can also give it back to my sister... and brother Heng, I, I can also give it back to my sister."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian finally understood the purpose of Lin Yuan's visit today.

She shook her head slightly and exhaled the turbid air in her chest, "Lin Yuan, I just said, those are your parents and brother, they have nothing to do with me. Although Luomeiyuan was built because of my love, but It's all the Marquis's hard work, and it should be yours. Even if you want it, it's just a matter of words."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan shook her head suddenly, "I don't want it. I'm not here to compete with my sister for a place to live."

"I know." Qiao Nian smiled lightly, with a hint of mockery, "You are here for Xiao Heng."

He said he begged her to forgive him. He went in such a big circle just for the sake of being a man.

She immediately revealed what was on Lin Yuan's mind, which only made Lin Yuan's face turn red instantly.

But I heard Qiao Nian say, "I don't know what you are worried about. This marriage contract has already fallen on you three years ago when I was not sent to the clothes bureau. Now, although I still live in the Hou Mansion, everything is still there." It’s just because my grandmother cares about me. I don’t even have the surname Lin anymore. I am just an outsider in this house, and the marriage contract between the Xiao family and the Lin family does not fall on me. "

"Besides, I made it very clear to my grandmother just now that I no longer like Xiao Heng. It is really unnecessary for you to go all the way to test me for this matter."

"I didn't come here to test my sister." Lin Yuan seemed a little anxious as if she had been misunderstood, "I sincerely beg your sister's forgiveness, but..."

Just testing Qiao Nian's attitude is also one of the purposes.

But she had to admit that she was indeed a little scared.

Xiao Heng's attitude today made her a little confused. She was really worried that Xiao Heng wanted to marry Qiao Nian, so she came to Qiao Nian in such a hurry.

"No matter what, my attitude is very clear. Grandma's health is not as good as before. I just want to take good care of her. I don't want anything else." Qiao Nian made her attitude clear. Chu Di told Lin Yuan that he just wanted her to come closer to him in the future.

Except for her grandmother, she really didn't want to see anyone in the Marquis's residence.

Lin Yuan stood there, biting her lower lip and saying nothing.

There were still tear stains on his face, and there were wet teardrops hanging on his eyelashes.

Qiao Nian thought that if Lin Ye came at this time, he would probably kick her into the lotus pond without any explanation, just like when he pushed her down the small building three years ago.

It's freezing cold today, and I'm afraid I'll be sick for several days if I fall into the water.

Just thinking about it gave me a headache. Qiao Nian couldn't help but rub her temples. She just wanted to send this plague god away quickly. "I got up a little early today. I'm really sleepy right now. If you don't have anything else to do, , I won’t send it to you.”

After hearing Qiao Nian's expulsion, Lin Yuan naturally couldn't bear it anymore, so she just nodded, "Sister, you have a good rest, I, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Lin Yuan bowed and bowed before walking out.

Ningshuang came in not long after Lin Yuan went out.

The little girl looked curious and kept looking out at Lin Yuan's back, "Miss, what did the second young lady come to say to you? I saw her eyes were red. Did she cry?"

Qiao Nian didn't have the time to deal with Ningshuang and walked inside. "If you are so curious, why not ask her directly."

Ningshuang followed up shamelessly, "This servant is the young lady's servant. How can there be any reason to go to the second young lady?"

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Nian's footsteps stopped.

She turned around and looked at Ningshuang with a serious expression.

Ningshuang was startled and blinked twice at Qiao Nian, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"I know your master must have a purpose in sending you to serve me. I won't embarrass you, but you don't have to remind me all the time that you are mine, because I know you are not."

Qiao Nian has been in the Clothing Bureau for three years. In that place, everyone around her is her enemy, so she is used to being so cold and even harsh when speaking.

I didn't expect that I would hurt a little maid's heart.

Ningshuang's big eyes were filled with tears almost immediately.

Unlike Lin Yuan, Qiao Nian looked at her and felt soft-hearted for a moment.

But she didn't know whether she should comfort her at this moment, so she could only frown, "I want to sleep for a while, you go and do your work!"

After that, she turned and went into the inner room.

Ning Shuang just stood there, watching Qiao Nian stop her outside, and finally tears fell down.

But soon, she wiped away her tears, and her face, which was full of grievance just now, was full of indifference.

Her young lady had been tortured in the laundry department for three years, so what if she was a little unkind now?

The young lady had so many injuries on her body, if she was not a little ruthless, she would not survive!

Although she was misunderstood by the young lady, she believed that as long as she treated the young lady sincerely, the young lady would see her true heart one day!

Ningshuang encouraged herself secretly, and then called to the inner room, "Miss, you have a good rest, I will be guarding outside, if you need anything, tell me!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian's figure could not help but pause slightly.

Somewhere in her heart, a thin stream of warmth flowed.

She couldn't tell what this feeling was, but...the upset mood caused by Lin Yuan just now was relieved a lot.

She sighed deeply and wanted to go to bed to rest, but suddenly there was a terrifying cry outside.

"Oh no! Someone come quickly! The second young lady fell into the water!"
