Chapter 177

Qiao Nian really didn't like Xiao Heng's tone at the moment, so he asked confidently.

But whether she is here or where she is, what does it have to do with him?

His face darkened at that moment, but he thought that she was leaving soon, so there was no need to show off her rhetoric with him, so he responded calmly, "Jing Yan left a letter to Brother Xiao before he died. I'll send it to him."

After saying that, he saluted Xiao Heng and said, "If you don't disturb General Xiao, I'll leave first." Then he strode away.

She actually didn't want to say a word to him.

Looking at her back, Xiao Heng frowned, but when he turned around, he saw that Xiao He was still drinking tea.

He entered the room, looked at the tea cup in front of Xiao He, and then asked, "What is she doing here?"

Xiao He did not raise his eyes to look at Xiao Heng, but simply responded, "Send a message for Jing Yan."

Having said this, he looked at Xiao Heng with some confusion, "Didn't she just say that?"

Xiao Heng's face was still gloomy, "Didn't you say anything else?"

Xiao He withdrew his gaze and put the tea cup on the table, "I told you."

Hearing this, Xiao Heng's tone was filled with urgency, "What did you say?"

This time, Xiao He did not answer.

He just sneered and asked, "What are you anxious about?"

Xiao Heng was suddenly stunned, as if he had just realized that he had been inexplicably irritable ever since he met Qiao Nian.

But in front of Xiao He, he refused to admit it and only said, "I just saw her suddenly appearing in the eldest brother's courtyard and felt strange."

Unexpectedly, these words only made Xiao He smile even more intensely, "When you sent her to my bed, did you not think that she would appear in my courtyard in the future?"

Xiao He's words were like a nail, accurately piercing the most shameful place in Xiao Heng's heart.

Xiao Heng's face turned extremely ugly for a moment, but he still insisted on asking, "What exactly did she say?"

Xiao He felt more helpless towards his younger brother.

After a long sigh, he said, "She said that she would come to see me when she returns to Beijing in the future."

Will you return to Beijing in the future?

Doesn't it mean that she is leaving now?

Xiao Heng was startled, turned around and ran out.

But unexpectedly, Xiao He's cold question came from behind, "Have you thought about where you want to put Miss Lin Yuan?"

The eager steps suddenly stopped.

Lin Yuan and him were engaged.

That was his parents' order, and he couldn't disobey it.

Can……

When he thought of the figure who decided to leave, Xiao Heng felt extremely panicked in his heart, and all his calmness and self-control disappeared at this moment.

After all, he still stepped up and hurried out.

A gust of wind picked up, blowing a bit of warm sunshine.

Xiao He looked at the deserted courtyard, shook his head and sighed...

On the other side, Qiao Nian returned to his small house.

But before entering the courtyard, she heard Ningshuang's painful cries.

She was anxious, thinking that Ningshuang was crying so miserably because she fell, so she hurriedly rushed into the yard, "What's wrong? What's wrong?"

But he saw Ningshuang sitting on the steps holding her knees, with a small face already filled with tears.

Seeing Qiao Nian, Ningshuang almost rushed towards her and hugged her, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.com.com," Wuwuwu..."

She thought she was left behind, that's why she cried like this.

Qiao Nian's body stiffened, and her heart couldn't stop feeling sore. Listening to Ningshuang's painful cries, she finally hugged her helplessly.

"Okay, I just went to deliver a letter to Brother Xiao."

Hearing this, Ningshuang asked while sobbing, "Miss, won't you leave your servant behind?"

Qiao Nian couldn't answer.

Naturally, she didn't want Ningshuang to be put in danger, but...

When she thought that after she left, Ningshuang would cry uncontrollably like this, she couldn't help herself.

Seeing that Qiao Nian didn't answer immediately, Ningshuang couldn't help but let go of Qiao Nian. She stared at Qiao Nian with a pair of pitiful tearful eyes and asked again, "Will the young lady abandon this slave?"

Seeing Ningshuang's appearance, Qiao Nian was defeated in the end, "No."

"Then slave girl, go pack your luggage now!" Ningshuang jumped away from Qiao Nian's arms almost immediately and rushed into her own room while wiping her tears.

Seeing Ningshuang's positive look, Qiao Nian couldn't help but shake her head.

I just think, that’s all, just follow it!

If she were more careful and protective, she would be fine.

Ningshuang took two hours to clean up. During this period, she went to Wang Er once and gave Wang Er the key to the small house.

By the time the two of them got on their horses, it was already afternoon.

At this time, Qiao Nian had already changed into men's clothes, looking quite chic.

Ningshuang was also dressed as a young man. She smiled at Qiao Nian and said, "Miss, that's not right. Master, where are we going?"

Qiao Nian thought for a while and then said, "After leaving the capital, go south. There is a small town over there. Let's go faster. We should be able to get there before dark. We'll talk about where to go tomorrow."

After that, Qiao Nian rode his horse to the city gate.

Ningshuang followed closely behind.

Not long after, the city gate appeared in their sight.

Qiao Nian felt excited for no reason.

It’s the excitement of leaving the past behind and ushering in a new life!

Unexpectedly, this excitement was quickly doused by a basin of cold water.

Qiao Nian never expected that he would meet Lin Ye and Lin Yuan at the city gate.

"Huh..."

Looking at the Lin brothers and sisters blocking the city gate, Qiao Nian could only stop his horse, frowning with displeasure, and looked at the two of them, "What are you two doing?"

"I should ask you what you want to do!" Lin Ye looked very angry, "If it weren't for the servants in the mansion who happened to meet Ning Shuang buying men's clothes in the ready-made clothing shop, I wouldn't have guessed that you were going to leave!"

Ning Shuang was startled and subconsciously shrank her head.

She must have been so sad that she only thought that the young lady was going to leave her, so she didn't notice that there were people from the Marquis' Mansion around.

Qiao Nian didn't want to blame Ning Shuang. She sat on the horse and looked down at Lin Ye. "Whether I leave or not, what does it have to do with you?"

"You!" Lin Ye was furious. "Where are you going as a woman? What if you meet thieves on the road? Get off the horse!"

As he said that, Lin Ye pretended to step forward and drag Qiao Nian off the horse.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Nian swung the whip in her hand suddenly and hit Lin Ye's arm hard.

Lin Ye felt pain and took two steps back.

Lin Yuan hurriedly came forward to support Lin Ye, her panicked face full of worry, "Brother, are you okay?"

Lin Ye shook his head with a cold face.

Lin Yuan looked at Qiao Nian, "Sister, please don't be so willful, okay? Dad and Mom miss you very much, and brother is also worried about you. I know we had a lot of misunderstandings before, but no matter what, we are all a family, can't we sit down and talk calmly?"

Lin Yuan's voice was soft and gentle, but inexplicably powerful.

On the second floor of the teahouse on the street, Lord Lin stood by the window, and when he heard Lin Yuan's words, he couldn't help but frowned tightly, and his fists clenched unconsciously.

Yes, as a family, can't we sit down calmly?

Even Yuan'er understood this truth, why didn't Nian Nian understand it?
