The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 114.2

Wei Shao stopped caressing her soft skin and slowly opened his eyes to meet Xiao Qiaos eyes.

At first, in his eyes, there seemed to be a trace of love left over from a few moments ago, and his eyes looked a bit misty. After looking at her for a moment, that trace seemed to disappear.

Didnt you say you were tired? Whats the point of asking this? Go to sleep!

He put his arm around Xiao Qiao and closed his eyes again while speaking indifferently.

Xiao Qiao gazed at his face.

Husband wont say, then Ill guess myself. She said softly.

I always thought the box contained a token related to Miss Su. But later, I felt that it does not look like it. Now, I am even more sure that the box is unrelated to Miss Su. Since it has nothing to do with Miss Su, when I moved it carelessly and provoked your anger, I thought perhaps it should be

She paused.

Wei Shao slowly opened his eyes again and looked at her: It contains relics from my father. I had said to you, so sleep, okay? His tone was a bit cold.

He placed the box in a conspicuous position to remind himself not to forget about the death of his father and brother. The only way to be strong was to kill people, not to be killed by them. After the incident with the box, Wei Shao stored it away.

He was in a good mood tonight. The expedition to the west had reached its goal earlier than scheduled. He was one step closer to his ambition to win the world. The news of Miss Sus arrival in Jinyang, which bothered him for some days, was resolved because of Xiao Qiaos understanding.

The woman he loved became more harmonious with him, and the lovemaking he has just finished has made him feel immensely satisfied physically and mentally.

Everything was pleasing to his mind and soul.

But, she suddenly mentioned the box that he was still unwilling to talk to her, which made Wei Shao feel upset and suspicious. He had a feeling that she seemed to want to take this opportunity to make some request to him. He stared at her, his eyes showing a hint of imperceptible displeasure.

As she guessed, she was wrong in her thinking.

It was not Su E Huang but that box containing the most painful memories of his teenage years. Hence he once reacted this much toward her.

When Xiao Qiao saw him staring at her, her expression seemed guarded. She slowly exhaled, lifted her finger, and gently stroked it along his eyebrow, saying: I am at peace in my heart. Im not hiding it from you, but I always thought the box contained an object from Miss Su. I was not allowed to touch it, and when I accidentally moved it, you were furious with me, and I was sad. It turned out that I had misunderstood. Since it is a relic of my father-in-law, it is my duty to suffer if you scold me.

She slowly leaned towards him, kissed him on the lips, then pressed her forehead against his and said softly in a murmuring voice: Husband doesnt know that I envy Miss Su, who accompanied you during the difficult time when you were young. I was only three or four years old when my grandfather broke the alliance and killed your father and brother in battle. When you were seriously injured, I was only a child of three or four years old, so how could I understand your suffering? Fortunately, the heavens have been kind. Now, you have become my bedside companion. If I can help you relieve the pain in your heart back then, I am willing to do anything.

The invisible armor of caution around Wei Shaos body slowly faded inch by inch in Xiao Qiaos ravings. His heart became soft again. He hugged and kissed her. Their breathing gradually rushed up then he possessed her body again.

The next day, Wei Shao and Xiao Qiao slept until very late. They stayed in the room all day, not leaving an inch. Hearing that Xiao Qiao the past six months almost did not go out of the door of the government office and usually copied the scriptures in the house, Wei Shao felt distressed. The next day, he took her to the western outskirts of Jinyang on a horseback trip. When she returned in the evening, the doorkeeper said that the wife of Zuo Feng Yi had sent a maid to ask the Marquis to go to the post house, saying there was something important to discuss. The maid left when he told her that the couple was out. Before leaving, she left a message saying that Madam had an important matter and she would like to ask the Marquis to come there after he knew about it.

Wei Shao did not say much, took Xiao Qiao with him, and went inside.

Xiao Qiao looked at his complexion: Is husband going?

Wei Shao hesitated and looked at her. Xiao Qiao secretly sighed, but her face was full of smiles. She raised her hand to take a wildflower picked from the roadside outside the western suburbs, gently nudged the bridge of his nose, and said: Whats so difficult about it? Since there is a problem, ask her to come here. Isnt more suitable? Why do you have to go to the post house?

Wei Shaos eyes lit up slightly while smiling. He wrapped his arms around her and said, Man Man is still the one considerate.

Wei Shao asked someone to go to the post house to invite Su E Huang to the government office.

Aunt, are you going or not?

Su Xin looked at Su E Huang and waited for her answer.

Su E Huangs face was upset, but she gradually recovered her original expression. After losing her concentration for a moment, she said, Why wont I?

The next day, Wei Shao met Su E Huang, who was brought in by a servant, in the open hall of the government office.

Su E Huang changed her lethargic and sickly attitude. Today she was dressed exquisitely. Although her brow still seemed to contain a slight sadness, it was a lot better.
