Chapter 182

Xiao Heng finally let go of Xiao He, but the anger in his heart remained undiminished, and his tone was even more disappointed, "But I thought that brother would understand me."

He knew that his request to marry an equal wife was puzzling to the world.

Therefore, even if the emperor reluctantly agreed to the decree, it was still vague.

So with Xiao He's words, his parents couldn't wait to propose the marriage to Xiao He!

However, Xiao He knew what he had done for Qiao Nian.

Everyone in the world can stab him, but not Xiao He!

After all, he was his biological brother. Seeing the look of disappointment in his eyes, Xiao He's eyes also sank, and his tone was tinged with helplessness, "Then just take it as she did not go out from my yard that day. ”

On that day, Xiao Heng and Lin Ye's plan had succeeded, and Qiao Nian had been ruined by him.

After all, wasn't their original plan for Qiao Nian to marry him?

One sentence made Xiao Heng take a step back unconsciously.

Yes, he personally sent her to Xiao He's bed.

However, the situation back then was different from now. He just didn't want her to marry Prince Ming or go to Jiancheng!

In the final analysis, he just wanted to keep her by his side!

Now, he had a God-given opportunity to be an honest couple with her, but he was ruined by Xiao Hesheng!

His anger almost burst through his head, but looking at Xiao He's stern face and seeing him sitting in a wheelchair, Xiao Heng's heart gradually calmed down.

Xiao He's lower body was disabled and he couldn't touch Qiao Nian at all. This was one of the reasons why he proposed to send Qiao Nian to Xiao He's bed.

Therefore, when he thought about it carefully, there was no difference between the current plan and his original plan.

He took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "How many years will she have?"

Xiao He's eyes trembled slightly.

But there weren't many surprises.

After all, even he had guessed that Qiao Nian would have conditions. Xiao Heng had been her childhood sweetheart for more than ten years, how could he not know that she would definitely put forward a deadline?

He didn't hide anything at that moment, "Three years."

Xiao Heng smiled coldly, nodded, then turned around and walked out, leaving only one extremely arrogant sentence on his arrogant back, "It's only three years, I can afford to wait!"

Looking at Xiao Heng's back, Xiao He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Just three years?

A lot of things can happen in three years...

On the other side, the Hou Mansion.

Lin Yuan has been crying all night.

Mrs. Lin really couldn't persuade her, so she had no choice but to send someone to find Lin Ye. She just thought that because of their deep brother-sister relationship, maybe Lin Yuan would be able to listen to Lin Ye's words.

However, Lin Ye didn't know how to persuade him.

After all, he thought it was a good thing that Xiao Heng could ask for the imperial edict granting marriage.

They had been worried about Niannian's marriage, worried that she would not marry into a good family, and even more worried that she would never come back after having no worries in Beijing.

Marrying Xiao Heng now is simply the best of both worlds.

Although in his heart, he felt that Xiao Heng was cunning and had planned everything long ago.

But, overall, it's a good thing, isn't it?

Therefore, although he came outside Luomei Courtyard, he always hesitated and did not dare to go in.

After all, the only person who was hurt in this incident was Yuan'er, and he really didn't know how to face it.

But at this moment, the little maid's whisper came to her ears, "It's true, General Xiao, how could he do this to our young lady? He just asked for a marriage, but he actually let the eldest lady and our young lady become each other. Fair Wife! The eldest lady almost killed our young lady before. If she enters the Xiao Mansion in the future, I don’t know how she will be punished!”

Lin Ye stood outside the courtyard gate, listening to the words of the little maid behind the door. He was about to scold them for not arranging the mistress behind his back, but unexpectedly another little maid suddenly said, "I heard that the eldest lady actually asked for this marriage. Come on!"

"What? The eldest lady asked for it herself?"

"Well! Li Si in the kitchen said that when he went to the west of the city yesterday, he passed by the General's Mansion and saw the eldest lady coming out of the General's Mansion. Not long after, General Xiao also came out! After that, the eldest lady said she wanted to leave, and then General Xiao took the imperial edict and chased him to the city gate... If you ask me, this is simply a play put on by General Xiao and the eldest lady, just to bully our lady! "

"I heard that the eldest lady said a lot of bad things about the Marquis at the gate of the city. Could it be that she was trying to make the young Marquis feel guilty and soft-hearted so that he would not be able to stop her from marrying General Xiao and becoming his equal wife?"

Lin Ye didn't listen to the rest of the words.

He couldn't bear it anymore and strode out of the house.

Yes, that makes sense!

He asked why Qiao Nian suddenly wanted to leave Beijing. She took Ningshuang and the two women on the road. Aren't they afraid of danger?

But it turns out that everything is just a show!

As soon as Lin Ye left, the little maids popped up from behind the door. Seeing that Lin Ye had gone far, they hurried back to Lin Yuan, "Miss, the young prince is gone."

Lin Yuan was wiping away tears, "Brother, have you heard this?"

"Don't worry, young lady, the young marquis has heard it. Seeing how angry I am, I must have gone to the eldest lady to settle the score."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan lowered her eyes, sobbed twice, and then said, "Thank you for helping me..."

"Whatever the lady said, the slaves are telling the truth!" It was indeed Li Si who saw that scene that made them dare to say this.

Lin Yuan said no more, only held up the handkerchief to wipe away her tears.

But the smile on the corner of his mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.

Even if she couldn't stop Qiao Nian and Xiao Heng's marriage, she still had to let everyone know that it was Qiao Nian and Xiao Heng who were sorry for her and they owed her!

In this way, even if she has any conflicts with Qiao Nian in the future, the Hou Mansion will still be on her side.

When Lin Ye rushed outside the small house, Qiao Nian had just returned from Xiao Mansion.

Seeing Lin Ye, her eyes were filled with a bit of disgust unconsciously.

However, Lin Ye was so angry that he pointed at Qiao Nian's nose and scolded him, "I knew you had always been interested in Xiao Heng! It's a shame that you acted in such a good play yesterday and didn't become an actor. What a waste!”

Qiao Nian didn't know why Lin Ye was so crazy. He was obviously present during yesterday's incident. He saw with his own eyes that Xiao Heng stopped her regardless of the imperial edict.

In the end, he could still blame her for everything.

Her eyes darkened, and she didn't want to talk to this mad dog. She cursed in a low voice and went back to her house, "Madman!"

Unexpectedly, Lin Ye grabbed her arm, "How dare you say that you didn't go to Xiao's house yesterday? Dare you say that it wasn't you who asked Xiao Heng to enter the palace to ask for the order? That's your sister's fiancé! In order to marry Xiao Heng, you actually... I don’t even care about my reputation or face!”

"Lin Ye!" Qiao Nian shouted angrily, "Don't think that just because you are a young prince, you can bite him randomly!"

Lin Ye became even more angry, "What did I say wrong?"

Qiao Nian was furious and was about to explain things to him, but she didn't expect a familiar voice to come from not far away, "I have seen Miss Qiao!"

Qiao Nian and Lin Ye looked over together and saw Xiao He's personal servant trotting in with a group of people.

Lin Ye recognized him, and he couldn't help but frown and asked, "Sun Du? Why are you here?"

But Sun Du bowed to Qiao Nian first, and then said, "I met the young marquis, and my eldest young master said that since Miss Qiao is about to marry into the Xiao family and become the eldest mistress, he has the obligation to protect Miss Qiao's safety. . No, I heard that there weren’t many nursing homes in Miss Qiao’s house, so I ordered my servants to call a group of people.”

Qiao Nian suddenly felt grateful.

I just thought that maybe Xiao He sent Sun Du here because he expected that Lin Ye would go crazy.

After all, this is not the first time that Lin Ye has been so brainless!

But Lin Ye was stunned on the spot, the eldest young lady?

He looked at Qiao Nian with surprise in his eyes, "You, aren't you married to Xiao Heng?"

Qiao Nian threw Lin Ye's hand away, with anger on her brows, "I don't have to worry about who am I going to marry? I just want to advise the young Marquis to clear his mind before biting someone next time. Take it with you! Sun Du, see you off!”

After that, he walked into the house.

Sun Du responded, stepped forward to block Lin Ye's sight, raised a smile, and said politely to Lin Ye, "Please."

However, that aura is extremely strong.

Lin Ye glanced at Sun Du, frowned, and slowly turned around.

So, he misunderstood Nian Nian again?

But...what is going on? !
