Chapter 242

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised.

Even Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin did not expect that Qiao Nian would agree so easily.

Xiao He only felt distressed and couldn't help but turned slightly to look at her. His cold voice had a hint of gentleness and whispered, "You don't have to compromise."

He could stand up for her and make Lin Yuan and the Hou Mansion bow to her.

Qiao Nian knew that Xiao He was doing it for his own good.

The words 'no need to compromise' truly spoke to Qiao Nian's heart.

However, she really didn't want to have anything to do with the people in the Hou Mansion anymore.

No matter whether it is good or bad, I don’t think about it anymore.

She just wanted to stay far away from them, and it would be best if they never met again in this life.

So, she shook her head slightly, turned slightly sideways to look at Xiao He, and whispered, "That's good."

The whispers of the two fell into Xiao Heng's ears, and they felt extremely harsh.

They were leaning towards each other, their heads seemed to be touching, and they were particularly intimate.

Qiao Nian's wrist was still held by Xiao He, and they obviously didn't notice this.

It seems that this kind of skin-to-skin contact between the two of them is already normal.

But, how could it be normal?

They were obviously married under false pretenses!

Xiao He clearly said that Qiao Nian would leave in three years.

Thinking of this, Xiao Heng's eyes darkened involuntarily.

Three years, he thought he could afford it.

But now it seems that three years is really too long...

Lin Yuan's sobs were much quieter.

She didn't think it was a good thing for Qiao Nian to let her go so easily.

She just felt that Qiao Nian was pretending.

Even though she was murdered, yet she was willing to let her go so easily. Everyone would just think that Qiao Nian was pitiful and generous!

It's just a trick she used to do before!

Unexpectedly, Father Xiao suddenly spoke, "But, after all, it is a serious crime of murder."

Those who were killed were still members of the Qiu family!

Simply not appearing in front of Qiao Nian in the future would be too light a crime.

Even if they really don't want to make things worse, they can't let it go so easily.

If Lin Yuan doesn't learn a lesson, he will never change.

Everyone knows this.

Qiao Nian knew that Taifu Qiu would not let Lin Yuan off easily.

Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin naturally knew this.

Today, Lin Yuan can be exempted from the crime of death, but cannot escape the crime of living.

None of them asked what Father Xiao wanted, they just felt that no matter how Taifu Qiu or the Xiao family wanted to punish Lin Yuan today, it was the right thing to do.

Suddenly, Father Xiao turned around and picked up a small wooden box from the table.

He looked at Lin Yuan and said in a deep voice, "This is the letter of divorce given to you by Heng'er. There are more than fifty letters. I have stopped them all before. Now, take them back!"

Speaking of which, he now regrets that he blocked it in the first place.

If I had known that Lin Yuan was so vicious, the divorce letter should have been sent to the Hou Mansion long ago!

Mr. Lin's face turned red, but he could only accept these divorce letters.

But Lin Yuan subconsciously glanced in Xiao Heng's direction.

Xiao Heng's eyes were still focused on Qiao Nian, without even looking at her.

It seemed that everything that happened today had nothing to do with him.

He didn't care whether she lived or died, whether she was divorced or not.

He only cares about Qiao Nian!

Then why did you marry her in the first place?

The hatred in Lin Yuan's heart spread little by little.

Apart from Qiao Nian's fault that she ended up in this situation, the biggest fault was Xiao Heng!

Just as he was thinking about it, Taifu Qiu, the most powerful person present, finally spoke, "It is our Qiu family's misfortune that a beast like Qiu Yu came out. Now that Qiu Yu is dead, I can't whip him to death." . However, Mr. Lin, your wife is so cruel, I wonder what kind of family behavior the Lin family has?"

Lord Lin understands.

Immediately, he put the wooden box in Mrs. Lin's arms, and then bowed to Mrs. Qiu and said, "My little girl is ignorant and has committed such a cruel and vicious thing. Today, I will do it in front of you all." In order to punish her, I also ask you to be witnesses."

After that, he turned to Father Xiao and said, "Brother Xiao, please lend me your whip."

For generations of generals in the Xiao family, the most indispensable thing in the house is whips.

Father Xiao nodded slightly and gave a low drink. Not long after, someone sent a whip.

Lord Lin held it in his hand and shouted, "Lin Yuan, kneel down!"

Lin Yuan also knew that he would not be able to escape a whipping today, but this was also earned by Mr. and Mrs. Lin Hou. It was better than death after all!

At that moment, he sobbed and let go of Lin Ye.

He slowly knelt down and straightened his body.

Lin Ye took a deep breath, stepped aside, and put his injured hand behind his back.

Lord Lin stepped forward, raised the riding crop in his hand, and whipped Lin Yuan hard on the back.

"Crack!"

The whip made of cowhide is extremely tough and is extremely loud when it hits the body.

In just one move, a blood mark fell on Lin Yuan's back.

"You are evil-hearted and harm others and yourself. I will give you an explanation today!"

After Lord Lin finished drinking, he waved his whip at Lin Yuan again.

Marquis Lin was also a military commander, and the force of his whip was definitely not light. The sound of whipping resounded throughout the Xiao Mansion, and Lin Yuan's back was soon dripping with blood and the skin was torn.

Qiao Nian didn't look.

Logically speaking, she should have watched it. Watching Lin Yuan being whipped, she should be able to relieve her hatred.

But the sound of whipping was all too familiar to her.

That was her most feared nightmare in the past three years.

Every sound of whipping seemed to remind her of how she survived those three years.

Every sound made the hatred in her heart increase by one point.

Soon, Lin Yuan was beaten to the ground, dying.

Mrs. Lin was heartbroken and tears kept falling, but she did not dare to step forward to stop her.

Marquis Lin was also distressed and could hardly hold the whip in his hand, but he did not dare to stop.

He had to continue.

He had to calm down both Taifu Qiu and Father Xiao before this matter could be completely overturned!

Maybe this scene was too bloody.

Xiao's mother and Xiao Qingnuan both turned their heads away.

Finally, after Lin Marquis had given him fifty lashes, Taifu Qiu slowly spoke, "Okay, Lin Marquis should not be so cruel. It would be bad if someone died."

Only then did Marquis Lin stop his hand.

The person who clearly decided whether he would beat Lin Yuan to death with his own hands was Tai Fu Qiu, but at this moment, he could only salute Tai Fu Qiu, "Thank you Tai Fu for your forgiveness."

Tai Fu Qiu's eyebrows darkened, "Master Hou should understand that your wife is very vicious. In the future, not to mention the eldest mistress of the Xiao family, even I don't want to see her again, so I will let her stay in the Hou Mansion and live an ignoble existence." Bar!"

The implication is that the Hou Mansion will keep Lin Yuan under house arrest and prevent Lin Yuan from stepping out of the gate of the Hou Mansion!

Hearing this, Lord Lin was naturally frightened, but at this moment, he could only nod in agreement.

Don't go out without going out. It's better than dying!

If you stay in the Marquis Mansion, they can still take good care of you.

At that moment, Lord Lin respectfully responded, "Yes." Then he called the servants to come in and carried Lin Yuan out.

Marquis Lin and Mrs. Lin also bowed and went out.

Seeing that Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin were gone, Lin Ye naturally bowed and left.

But before leaving, he subconsciously glanced at Qiao Nian.

Qiao Nian was seen standing next to Xiao He, head lowered, not saying a word, not even looking at him.

He felt terribly uncomfortable, but at this moment, he knew that he was not even qualified to say a word, so he could only lower his head again and leave quickly.
