Chapter 158

The sun sets in the west, and the thick night spreads.

Lin Yuan doesn't know how long she has been kneeling, but she knows that the night wind is so cold that she can't help shivering.

Her knees have long been numb, but the wound on her chest is still beating with her heart, which makes her mind, which is almost fainting, always maintain a little clarity.

She raised her eyes and looked at the window that had been lit up at some point, and the figure printed on it, and her nose suddenly became sour.

How unwilling!

Why should she be tortured like this?

The old lady didn't live long, so what if she was really angry to death today?

Didn't Qiao Nian always want to break off the relationship with the Marquis' Mansion?

By doing this, didn't she help Qiao Nian?

Why should she be punished in return?

Thinking about it, tears fell from the corners of her eyes that had been dry for a long time.

Lin Ye entered the yard at this time.

After treating the wound at the manor doctor's, he thought about the cool night and thought about Lin Yuan, so he came to give her a cloak.

But he didn't expect to see Lin Yuan in such a miserable state as soon as he approached.

He was shocked and couldn't help but whispered, "Yuan'er."

In a trance, Lin Yuan seemed to hear a sound, and a pair of unfocused eyes began to search around.

Until Lin Ye's worried face appeared in front of her, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke down crying, "Woo, brother, I'm in so much pain, woo, woo..."

When Lin Yuan cried, Lin Ye felt that his heart was broken.

He hurriedly put the cloak on Lin Yuan, "Okay, let's not kneel, brother will take you back."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan cried even more aggrievedly, and before Lin Ye could help her, she leaned against Lin Ye.

Unexpectedly, the old lady's door was suddenly opened, and a ray of light fell, just shining on the two of them.

But then, a figure blocked the light.

"Are you leaving?" Qiao Nian asked in a low voice. She looked lifeless and her eyes were more red and swollen than before. Even at this moment, she only said two words, but the breath of the forest still frightened Lin Yuan and made her tremble all over.

Feeling the fear of the person in his arms, Lin Ye frowned and didn't even look at Qiao Nian. "Yuan'er is injured and can't hold on any longer. I'll send her back first."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian just smiled softly, full of sarcasm, "Madam Su gave her a life-saving pill. I didn't expect Miss Lin to be weaker than her grandmother."

Lin Yuan froze all over. She noticed that Lin Ye's action of supporting her paused slightly, and she subconsciously pushed Lin Ye out.

But, the strength of her hands was really weak. Her rejection only made Lin Ye more convinced that she could not hold on any longer.

He looked at Qiao Nian with a gloomy face, "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. You just want to torment Yuan'er on purpose? Yuan'er is indeed wrong in this matter, but she admits it. When grandma wakes up, I will ask her to apologize to grandma in person. No matter what, it is not your turn to teach her a lesson!"

As he said, Lin Ye helped Lin Yuan to stand up, "Quick, get up, brother will take you back."

Lin Yuan really stood up.

And Qiao Nian just watched coldly, with anger surging in her heart, but she said lightly, "Miss Lin, think about it."

Lin Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped when she was about to turn around.

The little beggar pointing at her and crying suddenly appeared in her mind.

Her heart was so panicked that she didn't dare to take another step.

Lin Ye was anxious. Just when she was about to say something, she didn't expect that Su Ma's call suddenly came from the house, "Miss, the old lady is awake!"

Hearing this, Qiao Nian didn't care about Lin Yuan and Lin Ye, and turned back to the house.

The old lady had indeed woken up.

I don't know why, but she looked much more energetic than before.

Nanny Su was helping the old lady sit up and stuffed a few cushions behind her.

Qiao Nian looked at the old lady so energetic, and her heart tightened. She felt like she was dreaming.

She walked forward slowly and called out softly, "Grandma..."

The old lady raised her eyes and looked at her, smiling, "Niannian, come quickly, let grandma hug you."

Hearing this, Qiao Nian couldn't help it anymore, and rushed to the old lady and hugged her tightly, "Woo, grandma, you scared Nianan, Nianan thought, thought..."

She couldn't help crying bitterly, and her body, which was originally empty because of the last crying, was instantly filled because of the old lady's awakening.

The feeling of regaining what she had lost made her feel extremely satisfied and extremely sad.

Unexpectedly, another voice came from behind, "Grandma."

It was Lin Ye.

Qiao Nian's heart twisted, she let go of her grandmother and looked at Lin Ye.

She only thought that if Lin Ye brought Lin Yuan into the house, she would definitely slap both of them out.

Fortunately, Lin Ye had a brain now and did not bring Lin Yuan to upset the old lady.

He walked slowly to the old lady's bedside, his eyes were also red, "I hope grandma wakes up."

The old lady saw him, and her heart was mixed.

Lin Ye was the only male in the Marquis's mansion. He had been loved by everyone since he was a child, so she naturally doted on Lin Ye.

However, when she thought of what he did to Qiao Nian, the old lady couldn't help but feel sad.

After thinking about it, she still reached out to Lin Ye.

Lin Ye felt sad and stretched out his hand.

The old lady held his hand and couldn't help but smile, "Oh, my Ye'er has really grown up, her hands are much bigger than my grandmother's."

The old lady obviously said it with a smile, but Lin Ye's eyes were red.

The old lady continued to laugh and said, "I still remember that when you were both young, one of you was greedy and insisted on eating the tallest peach on the peach tree, saying that the biggest peach must be the most delicious. Yes. You are so restless. Your sister hasn’t said this yet. After that, he crawled up like a monkey. Your mother was so frightened that she asked someone to call your father. It's a good thing that your father came, otherwise you are such a brat. If you fall from such a high place, you may lose your life.”

Neither Lin Ye nor Qiao Nian knew why the old lady suddenly talked about something that happened so long ago.

It's been so long that even Lin Ye has forgotten, let alone Qiao Nian.

But the old lady started talking, and sighed with a chuckle, "Your father was shocked and angry after he rescued you. He grabbed you and beat you until you screamed. But just after the beating, you Just walked up to your sister, held the peach in his arms with a pair of small hands and handed it to your sister..."

Hearing these words, Qiao Nian and Lin Ye both frowned tightly.

"Ye'er, you have loved your sister since you were a child. No matter what your sister wants, you will always find ways to get it. You also swore that you would protect your sister for the rest of your life."

"A lifetime is too long..." The old lady sighed, "Not to mention a lifetime, but in just a dozen years, the peaches you handed to your sister have turned into swill. Ye'er, you are too much. Disappointing grandma!"

Lin Ye's heart was so filled that he immediately knelt down and said in a muffled voice, "Grandma, I was wrong."

Qiao Nian heard something was wrong in the voice, so she turned to look at him and saw a huge teardrop falling from his eye.

I heard my grandmother continue to sigh, "That's all, Nian Nian is right, it's all over. She can't spit out the swill she ate, and she can't get better from the injuries she suffered. Ye'er... Grandma only needs a guarantee from you, guarantee. I will never hurt your sister again, and if she wants to leave, you will never stop her!"

Hearing this, Lin Ye couldn't help but look at his grandmother in surprise, but saw his grandmother's expression was stern, with the majesty of the past in her eyes, "Do you agree or not?"
