Chapter 303
Lin Ye never thought that Qiao Nian would come out to see him so soon.
The moment the door was opened, he stood up from the side. When he saw Qiao Nian, he was shocked at first, but then his eyes turned red, and a very stiff and sad smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, awkward and cramped.
He slowly walked towards Qiao Nian, "I, I thought you wouldn't come out so soon..."
"Who gave it to you?" Qiao Nian asked lightly, without any emotion in his voice.
Lin Ye hurriedly said, "It was Liu Niang. She said that she helped you take this thing out of the laundry bureau and forgot to give it to you. That day, she was waiting for me outside the mansion, saying that Concubine De showed mercy and allowed her to leave the palace and return home. She found this bundle when she was packing her luggage, so..."
"I know."
Qiao Nian interrupted Lin Ye's chattering.
Lin Ye's open lips did not close immediately.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
It was just a simple question, why did he say so much in one breath?
But he didn't need to think about it, he knew why he was like this.
It's been too long since he had a good talk with her.
It's been too long since he had seen her.
It's been too long, too long...
Qiao Nian suddenly said, "So, what does Mr. Lin want?"
The Marquis' Mansion no longer has the qualification of inheritance, so Lin Ye is naturally no longer the young marquis.
But whether it is or not, she still feels strange to call him.
Lin Ye's heart stagnated, and his voice choked unconsciously, and his tone was even stained with a bit of pleading, "Niannian, it's my brother's fault, my brother shouldn't have left you."
As he spoke, he approached, "Niannian, can you go home with my brother? My brother will take you home, okay?"
Seeing that, his hand was about to touch her sleeve.
Qiao Nian took a step back.
Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately surrounded and stopped Lin Ye.
Lin Ye was stunned, tears rolled down, "Niannian..."
In contrast, Qiao Nian's expression was still indifferent.
She looked at Lin Ye and said word by word, "It is Lin Nian who needs a brother. Unfortunately, she is dead. When she was bullied and whipped in the laundry department, she was looking forward to hearing what Mr. Lin said just now. Unfortunately, she didn't hear it until she died."
So, what's the point of saying this now?
The person who should hear these words is no longer in this world.
Just then, Wang Er brought out a brazier.
Seeing Lin Ye on the side, Wang Er was stunned, but still stepped forward and said respectfully, "Miss, this is the brazier you want."
Qiao Nian turned around and looked at the charcoal fire inside, then nodded with satisfaction, "Put it down!"
Wang Er said yes and put it down on the spot.
But Lin Ye seemed to realize something, and the whole person became excited, "Niannian, what are you going to do?"
Qiao Nian glanced at Lin Ye, then raised his hand and threw the bundle into the brazier.
There was only a "boom" sound.
A ball of fire rose up instantly, and the small bundle was quickly engulfed by the flames.
Lin Ye exclaimed, "No!"
He actually broke through the guards' obstruction and rushed over regardless of anything.
Wang Er was worried that his young lady would be hurt, so he immediately pulled Qiao Nian back.
However, Lin Ye rushed to the brazier and reached into the brazier without any hesitation.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
Including Qiao Nian.
But, perhaps the fire was too fierce and too hot.
Lin Ye failed to take out the small bundle at once, and his hand retracted, exhaled, and then reached into the brazier again.
And this time, Lin Ye finally took a piece of rag out of the brazier.
But the rag was still on fire.
He threw the rag on the ground, stepped on it continuously, and finally extinguished the fire on the rag.
But, the rag, which was not big to begin with, was already half burned.
It was burned, leaving only two words: Save me.
Lin Ye stretched out his hand tremblingly.
The hand that had been burned twice by the fire had already turned red, and the fingers were even white, as if it was burned.
But he seemed not to notice, and only trembled to pick up the piece of rag, and the tears that had been held back finally fell.
Qiao Nian frowned tightly, and finally couldn't help but cursed, "What on earth is Mr. Lin going to do in front of my house? It's just a few pieces of rags, why do you put your hands into the brazier? What do these pieces of rags represent? Where were you when I needed you? Who are you playing this self-torture trick for? Do you think I will feel sorry for you? I tell you, let alone your hand being burned today, even if you die in front of me one day, I will not shed a single tear for you!"
"Wang Er! Get out!" Qiao Nian shouted, turned around and went into the house, and never looked at Lin Ye again.
But Lin Ye squatted on the ground, holding the piece of rag in his hand, crying.
He, after all, lost her!
His beloved sister, in the end, didn't even want to say "brother" to him...
Wang Er, watching from the side, felt helpless.
He waited until Lin Ye's crying became quieter before he spoke softly, "Mr. Lin, your hand is so badly injured, you should go see a doctor right away! If you delay for too long, it will be useless."
He had seen people with burns, and their feet were burned, and finally their entire calves were cut off.
But Lin Ye pretended not to hear anything.
Xiao Heng and Xiao He also walked out of the mansion at this time.
Looking at the scene in front of them, they roughly guessed what was going on.
They both frowned.
Xiao He said coldly, "Mr. Lin's injury is more important, so why don't you go back first? If you fall here, it will be more difficult for Nian Nian."
Hearing this, Lin Ye seemed to have a reaction.
He slowly raised his eyes, but his gaze slowly moved from Xiao He's face to Xiao Heng's face.
Then, with a trembling voice and strong helplessness, he asked, "Xiao Heng, what should I do? She really doesn't want me..."
Looking at the brother who grew up with him in such an embarrassed state, Xiao Heng's heart was also very uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that he looked at Lin Ye in front of him and seemed to see himself.
Will he end up with the same fate as Lin Ye in the end?
Will she still not want him in the end?
The heart was constantly twitching and tightening.
Xiao Heng's brows sank, and he stepped forward and pulled Lin Ye up, "Heal the wound first."
After that, he called to the guards not far away, "Come on! Send Master Lin back to the mansion!"
Several guards stepped forward, carried Lin Ye on both sides and left, but even though they walked a long way, the sad crying could still be heard from time to time.
Looking at this scene, Xiao He's face was also very ugly.
As if he thought of something, he looked at Xiao Heng worriedly.
He didn't know, if Nian Nian made a choice one day, and there was no Xiao Heng in the choice, would he be like Lin Ye.
Even worse?
