Chapter 201

Seeing Xiao He's eyes twinkling fiercely, Qiao Nian stopped asking about the matter.

No matter who was responsible for the poison, five years have passed since the incident, and it will definitely not be easy to trace it.

The top priority right now is to heal Xiao He's leg.

Qiao Nian originally didn't know how to repay Xiao He. She only said to stay with him and take care of him for three years, but it was obvious that he already had Ji Yue by his side, so where was she missing?

But at that time, she really couldn't think of any other way to repay Xiao He.

But now, it is available.

"Brother Xiao." She called solemnly, "No matter how your legs were poisoned, now that there is hope, I will not give up. Please believe in me, Brother Xiao."

Qiao Nian's voice seemed to pull Xiao He back from the shock and panic in the past.

He looked at her bright eyes, like a pool of hot springs, flowing in his heart.

Little by little, his panic just melted away.

He didn't expect that this act of repaying a favor would actually bring a ray of light to his already dark world.

For a moment, he didn't know whether Jing Yan's request was for Qiao Nian or for him...

There were a lot of emotions in his heart, but when it came to his face, he could only nodded slightly and said solemnly, "Thank you."

Qiao Nian smiled back and stood up, "Then I won't disturb Brother Xiao's rest."

After that, he left the house.

She walked briskly, and immediately wrote a letter after returning to her house, asking Ningshuang to find a way to send it to the doctor.

On the other side, Lin Yuan also got up early, and today was the day she returned home.

Even though Xiao Heng was full of disgust towards her yesterday, he had to accompany her during the reception today.

In the carriage, Xiao Heng was relaxing with his eyes closed.

Lin Yuan sat aside, her brows filled with sadness, and she would glance at Xiao Heng from time to time.

However, Xiao Heng kept his eyes closed the whole time, as if he didn't want to see her, let alone communicate with her.

She couldn't help feeling a little panicked. She was worried that Xiao Heng would look like this when he arrived at the Hou Mansion.

In order to return home today, she even put on heavy makeup to cover up the red marks on her cheeks, just because she was afraid that the Hou Mansion would know that she had been bullied in the Xiao family.

Xiao Heng was the person she wanted to marry. She didn't want others to know that she was not happy at all after marrying Xiao Heng...

Just as he was thinking about it, the carriage suddenly jolted.

Lin Yuan couldn't sit still for a moment and fell to the side.

Seeing that her forehead was about to hit the car wall, a big hand pulled her back in time.

She looked at Xiao He in surprise. She thought he no longer wanted to touch her...

I just listened to the coachman outside saying, "General, a child suddenly rushed out on the road just now. The horses were frightened. Are the general and his wife okay?"

Xiao Heng had already let go of his hand, glanced at Lin Yuan lightly, and responded coldly, "It's okay."

"That's good, that's good."

People were talking continuously outside, and the carriage continued to move forward.

Xiao Heng closed his eyes again, but perhaps the touch just now gave Lin Yuan a glimmer of confidence. She slowly looked at Xiao Heng and said softly, "I know Brother Heng has misunderstandings about me, but when I come back today... …”

"I know what to do." Xiao Heng's cold voice interrupted Lin Yuan's words.

Lin Yuan was stunned for a moment, and finally realized that Xiao Heng's support just now was just an instinctive move.

In my heart, I finally stopped worrying so much.

She just thought that as long as she was not discovered by others, she would be fine.

Not long after, the carriage stopped outside the Hou Mansion. Knowing that today was the homecoming ceremony, Mrs. Lin had been waiting outside the door early in the morning.

When she saw the Xiao family's carriage, Mrs. Lin was already full of expectations.

Lin Yuan got off the carriage first, and when she saw Mrs. Lin, she called out sweetly, "Mom."

Xiao Heng also got off the carriage and saluted Mrs. Lin, "I have met my mother-in-law."

Unexpectedly, a look of disappointment flashed across Mrs. Lin's face.

Lin Yuan saw it, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lin had straightened her expression and came forward to greet him, "General Xiao, you are polite."

While speaking, Mrs. Lin stroked Lin Yuan's cheek very affectionately, "Be good, let me take a look."

But his eyes couldn't help but look behind the carriage.

How could Lin Yuan not see what Mrs. Lin meant?

Then she spoke softly, "Mom, sister is not coming back today."

"Ah?" Mrs. Lin was stunned for a moment, and then she realized what she was doing. Her face was filled with disappointment, but she forced herself to smile again, "It's okay, just come back. Come on, come in!"

Mrs. Lin welcomed Xiao Heng and Lin Yuan into the house. Today, when they returned to the door, Lin Houye and Lin Ye were both there. During the dinner, the father and son held Xiao Heng and talked non-stop.

And Xiao Heng's performance was just as he said in the carriage, no one could see any flaws.

However, after lunch, Mrs. Lin still found an excuse and took Lin Yuan to the backyard alone.

After pushing away the maid behind her, Mrs. Lin asked, "But your life is not going well?"

Lin Yuan was stunned. She didn't know how Mrs. Lin saw it. She was about to shake her head and deny it, but unexpectedly, tears fell first.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lin rushed to protect Lin Yuan in her arms, "Mother looked at your eyes and knew that you must have been crying for a long time yesterday. What's wrong? Tell mother quickly, but Xiao Heng bullied you ?”

Even though Lin Yuan felt a lot of grievances in her heart, she didn't dare to tell the truth to Mrs. Lin at this moment.

She was afraid that if she said no to Xiao Heng, the Marquis' Mansion would find trouble with Xiao Heng.

Especially her brother, who was so impulsive, what if he fought with Brother Heng?

Wouldn't Xiao Heng hate her even more at that time?

At that moment, she shook her head and said, "Brother Heng treats me very well, mother, don't worry."

Mrs. Lin sighed slightly, as if she thought of something, and asked, "On your wedding day, the Marquis' Mansion's dowry was not as good as your sister's. Did your mother-in-law say anything?"

Lin Yuan still shook her head, "No, my mother-in-law is very good."

Hearing this, Mrs. Lin's eyebrows twisted slightly, "It's neither Xiao Heng nor your mother-in-law, so why are you crying like this? Could it be your sister?"

Hearing this, Lin Yuan stopped talking.

Just kept crying.

Mrs. Lin was heartbroken, "Hey, I guessed that without our protection, she would definitely bully you! My poor Yuan'er, what about Xiao Heng? Didn't he protect you at all?"

At this point, how could Lin Yuan hide it? She could only remain silent and shed tears.

Mrs. Lin seemed to have just remembered that Xiao Heng had asked for permission to marry Qiao Nian before. She thought that Xiao Heng might have Qiao Nian in his heart and would not feel sorry for Lin Yuan, so she felt that Lin Yuan was even more miserable.

But... she had already married into the Xiao family, what else could she do?

Mrs. Lin felt sorry for Lin Yuan, so she also shed tears. The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a while.

But in the end, Mrs. Lin still pointed out a way out for Lin Yuan, "Yuan'er, remember, you are Xiao Heng's wife, Xiao He is useless, and Nian Nian will definitely not be able to give birth to a child, so as long as you can give birth to the eldest son of the Xiao family, your position in the Xiao family will be unshakable, understand?"
