Chapter 282
Lin Ye stumbled back to the mansion.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lord Lin.
Seeing Lin Ye coming back, Lord Lin showed concern, "How is it? What did Xiao Heng say?"
Lin Ye's eyes were stained with a bit of blood, "He said that you asked someone to kidnap Yuan'er."
Lord Lin never thought that Xiao Heng would guess it all at once, and he was panicked, "He, he is talking nonsense, don't believe him!"
However, how could Lin Ye not see that Lord Lin was guilty at the moment?
At that moment, he suppressed his anger and shouted, "Dad, are you crazy? If the emperor knows about this, our whole family will die!"
It's a pity that he thought it was Xiao Heng who did it, and he went to Xiao Heng to ask for people!
Unexpectedly, it would be his father who was confused.
"Keep your voice down!" Lord Lin also lowered his voice, but then he seemed helpless, "What can I do? After your mother knew that Yuan'er was going to be exiled to Ningzhou, she cried all day long. Nian Nian has already been in trouble. If even Yuan'er..." "You can't joke with the lives of the whole family!" Lin Ye scolded in a low voice, "What's more, it was Yuan'er who caused Nian Nian's trouble! If she hadn't come to pretend, how could Nian Nian have suffered so much? She was exiled to Ningzhou instead of being executed immediately, which was already a bargain for her!" "How can you say that!" Lord Lin also scolded in a low voice, "Yuan'er has been your sister for three years after all. Has she been nothing in these three years?" "Niannian is my sister!" Lin Ye suddenly raised his voice, "She is now in danger of life and death. What should I do? What I want is to find her as soon as possible! Even if I only find her corpse in the end, I will take her home! I owe her! We all owe her! Don't bother me with other things! Xiao Heng said that if Lin Yuan doesn't show up on the way to exile in Ningzhou tomorrow, he will report the matter. Then, we will all die. We will never wait for Nian Nian to come home until we die!"
"But...but Yuan'er is innocent! What she doesn't know is that her mother told her that she is the legitimate daughter of our Marquis' Mansion! You see, she looks so much like your mother, so she thinks she is really one!"
"Isn't Nian Nian innocent?" Lin Ye couldn't bear it anymore, and grabbed the collar of Lord Lin, trying to make him sober up, "Have you figured out who your daughter is?"
Finally, Lord Lin's tears burst.
"How could I not know that Nian Nian is my daughter? Her temperament is exactly the same as mine when I was young! But what about Yuan Er? Ningzhou is bitterly cold, and she will most likely not survive if she goes there! If your mother knows about her death, do you think she can still survive?"
Mrs. Lin will definitely not survive if her two daughters get into trouble one after another.
Lin Ye is also clear about this.
He went to find Xiao Heng today because he was afraid that his mother would not be able to bear it.
At that moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Then send someone to follow her and bribe the two yamen runners who escorted Yuan Er to ensure her safety. When we get to Ningzhou, we will think of a way."
But Lin Yuan must go to Ningzhou!
At this point, Lord Lin had no other choice, so he could only nod.
"Then your mother..."
"Go and talk to her yourself!" After that, Lin Ye just left with a wave of his sleeves.
In his heart, he was also very upset.
He was actually entangled.
In the past three years, he treated Lin Yuan as his own sister, loving and pampering her in all kinds of ways. He wanted to give her all the best things in the world. He thought Nian Nian was fake and that Nian Nian had stolen Lin Yuan's fifteen years, so he tried his best to compensate Lin Yuan for Nian Nian.
He felt bad when Lin Yuan was punished, and he couldn't bear to see Lin Yuan suffer and eventually die miserably.
He also felt that Lin Yuan was deceived by her mother and that Lin Yuan was innocent.
But...
Nian Nian was the most innocent!
The person he owed the most was not Lin Yuan, but Nian Nian!
Nian Nian was the one who should be ranked first in his heart!
Thinking of this, Lin Ye paused with the small tape and took out a small bundle from his arms.
The bundle was tied into a knot and hidden in his heart, stained with his body temperature, warm.
His fingers gently stroked it, and the pain in his heart spread little by little.
Nian Nian, don't worry, brother will definitely find you.
No matter whether you live or die, brother, I will definitely take you home.
…
Qiao Nian found out after dawn that the person who was knocked unconscious by Chu Zhiyi last night was Aunt Chun's son, Fuwang.
Aunt Chun's husband died early, and Aunt Chun raised the child alone all these years.
But she had to work in the fields like a man, wash clothes and cook, and she had no time to discipline the child.
So much so that she didn't know when Fuwang got involved in gambling.
When he found out, Fuwang had already learned to cheat.
The only good thing was that no matter what Fuwang did outside, he would not cause trouble at home.
But this time, when he heard Aunt Chun say that Chu Zhiyi went to the town to sell a bear, he finally became greedy and teamed up with a rat shit from another village to sneak into Chu Zhiyi's house.
In the past, Fuwang would not have dared to have any thoughts about Chu Zhiyi, but Fuwang knew that Chu Zhiyi had been sleeping in the yard during this period, and there was only a woman who had escaped death some time ago in the house, so he came boldly.
But last night, the moonlight shone through the window on Qiao Nian's sleeping face, which made him a little lustful for no reason, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch her.
This woke Qiao Nian up.
At this moment, Aunt Chun looked at Fuwang who had been slapped so that half of his face was swollen, and her tears kept falling.
"Bai Yu, girl, my aunt can't forgive you for this." Aunt Chun sobbed while wiping out all the money on her body, "I'll treat these as my aunt's compensation for you!"
Chu Zhiyi didn't answer, "I didn't lose anything."
Qiao Nian also said hurriedly, "I'm fine, Aunt Chun."
Hearing this, Fuwang couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Qiao Nian, wondering what he was thinking.
But Aunt Chun cried harder and harder, "It's all my fault. I don't have time to discipline the child, so I gave birth to such a thing!"
Seeing Aunt Chun cry, Fuwang also felt uncomfortable, "Mom, it has nothing to do with you, it's my fault."
"Didn't you say you don't want to gamble anymore?" Chu Zhiyi asked coldly.
Fuwang lowered his eyes and said with a guilty conscience, "I didn't gamble, but I owed money to the gambling house before. They made a lot of money, and I can't pay it back..."
Chu Zhiyi frowned, "How much?"
"Five, fifty taels."
"You bastard!" Aunt Chun cried and beat Fuwang until her tears were almost gone.
However, Chu Zhiyi thought for a moment, then turned around and went into the house. After taking out a few taels of silver from the money bag, he threw the entire money bag to Fu Wang, "Take it and return it. From tomorrow on, follow I'm going into the mountains."
"No, no, how can this be done!" Aunt Chun refused in a hurry.
But Fuwang grabbed the money bag and said with a smile, "Thank you, Brother Bai! I'll return it right away!"
After that, he got up and ran outside.
Looking at his back, Qiao Nian felt a chill return to her heart, and her face turned cold.
She didn't believe that Fuwang had taken the silver to pay it back.
