The Marquis Is Innocent
Chapter 74.2

Wei Shao felt that she pouted at him. His body relaxed. He cupped her face with his hand and whispered: ” I was too tired. I used all my strength on you. I did not know when you were gone ……”

Wei Shao is only in his early twenties and full of energy. After sharing the bed with Xiao Qiao for so long, he knows the taste. He is gradually addicted to the beauty of her body, wishing he could return to sleep with her every day. Unfortunately, in bed, she always seems unenthusiastic about him and never takes the initiative. Tonight she rarely pounced and begged him not to leave. It was like a dream. After a few words, his eyes fell on her red lips, lowered his head, and kissed her.

Xiao Qiao whimpered a few times, struggling to break away: ” You said it. You have to stay, don’t lie to me ……”

Wei Shao undressed her while kissing her chest: “…… Mmm …… I know ……”

……

Later in the night, one was pleased to be pleased, and the other begged him for something else. The two of them hugged each other for a long time. It was a rare moment of love and affection. ‘Man Man’, ‘Man Man’ did not know how many times he called her lovingly.

Wei Shao went to bed satisfied. Xiao Qiao, who had been dealing with him for two nights in a row, was also really tired and curled up next to him, closing her eyes and falling into a dark dream.

The next day, Wei Shao went out early. Xiao Qiao, as usual, served the patient in the north house and returned after lunch with no desire to do anything else. She just waited for Wei Shao to return. After it got dark and she didn’t see anyone, she slowly felt anxious.

Xiao Qiao waited until the middle of the night before she heard footsteps from the courtyard outside, followed by a servant calling ‘master.’ She immediately ran out and saw Wei Shao ascending the steps, and the two met at the door.

Once she saw the look on his face, her heart thudded.

“Husband, how it goes?”

Although in her heart, she concluded she had been tricked by him last night, there was still the last bit of fluke in her heart. Xiao Qiao looked at him and asked.

Wei Shao entered the room, did not immediately answer her words, told the servants to go out, and only then said: ” Is not that I do not want to stay with you. But I can’t get away. Shangdang is geographically important. The Huguan Pass is about 200 miles to the east, and the Taihang River is a critical area that must not be lost. Besides, the border is undergoing a major adjustment, and I need to keep enough guards to protect Youzhou.”

His tone was not too serious compared to last night in bed.

Xiao Qiao bit her lip and stood before him, looking at him without speaking.

Wei Shao met her two dark resentful eyes. He was slightly uncomfortable and let out a dry cough, then lifted his feet and walked towards the bathroom, saying: ” There are many things today. I am tired. Let’s get some sleep early.”

Xiao Qiao stared at his back and suspected he didn’t worry about what he had promised her in bed last night once he left the room this morning. Her heart was depressed and chagrined.

She understands if something else happens, she may still be able to mess with him again. However, in terms of military arrangements, if she holds on to what he promised in bed last night and doesn’t let go, he will blame her for being unreasonable.

Xiao Qiao no longer speaks. It was late, so she went to bed and lay down.

Wei Shao came out of the bathroom, saw her lying with her eyes closed, a heavy-minded look, climbed up to hug her, and coaxed: “I know you can not part with me. I also do not want to part with you. But this time, I really can not get away. When this battle is over, I will go home to be with you as soon as possible.”

Xiao Qiao knew things were irrevocable. She suppressed the disappointment, frustration, confusion, and a hint of anger in her heart. She did not bother to look at his face again, turning her back and pulling the quilt to cover her head.

……

Wei Shao left Yuyang three days later, in the fifth period of the morning, with an army.

This kind of military expedition has become common in the past few years. Mrs. Xu insisted on sending Wei Shao to the gate although she had not yet recovered from her illness and dressed neatly.

Mrs. Zhu finally showed her face from the east house and came out to see him off.

As in his previous expedition to Shiyi, the army outside the city was ready to move with the fire staff blazing. The generals were in high spirits outside the gates of Wei Manor on both sides of the streets.

With his distinctive clothes and armor, Wei Shao was magnificent as a war god in the light of the fire staff at the entrance. He turned around, asked Mrs. Xu to stop, and said goodbye to her. His eyes fell on Xiao Qiao’s face, who was holding Mrs. Xu’s arm, lingered for a moment, then stepped over the threshold and turned onto his horse war.

Xiao Qiao and Mrs. Xu stood in the middle of the gate. They watched the backs of Wei Shao and the generals riding away and turned around when the group disappeared into the last dark shadows before dawn.

It was very early, just after the fifth period of the morning. In the late autumn in the north, the sky was not yet bright, but a faint light floated up in the distant eastern sky.

Xiao Qiao held the arm of the old madam beside her and assisted her in walking inside. Old Zhong followed.

Mrs. Xu looked in the best of spirits these days, although not yet recovered from her illness, and woke up early in the morning.

One of her hands rested on Xiao Qiao’s. Xiao Qiao felt a ray of warmth coming from her thin hand.

“You probably don’t know,” Mrs. Xu said to Xiao Qiao as she walked down the paved pathway of smooth green stones. “Since Shao’er took charge of the army himself at seventeen until now, every time he went out from Yuyang for all these years, I always send him off. When he comes back, I will always welcome him. This morning, it is the twenty-first time.”

Xiao Qiao was silent.

Mrs. Xu’s lips, with a hint of pride, smiled: “He has suffered two major injuries and numerous small injuries. He was trapped in a difficult situation, but fortunately, he had a strong will and acted with determination, and his ancestors protected him. Every time he was able to turn the danger into a success.”

“I’m getting old. In the future, if I am not here, whether victory or loss, you need to continue to send him off to the battle for me and welcome him back, just like this day. Are you willing?”

Xiao Qiao looked at Mrs. Xu and saw her turn her head and look at her with a smile. Her heart slowly surged with a feeling of heat.

With Mrs. Xu’s state of mind and the Leling doctor’s words, Xiao Qiao did not believe she suddenly passed away as in her previous life if there was no external cause.

She held Mrs. Xu’s withered hand tightly with her hand and said word by word: ” Grandmother, you will live a long life! I don’t want to welcome my husband by myself. I want to join my grandmother in sending him off to war and welcoming him back like today!”

Mrs. Xu was stunned. By the faint light of dawn, she gazed at Xiao Qiao for a moment and smiled.

“Yes. That’s right! Grandmother will live until a hundred years old and still waiting to hold her great-grandson!”

She laughed delightedly. Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴøᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
