The Marquis Is Innocent

Xiao Qiao tilted her head to avoid his face: “I do not want to reply. So, I don’t reply!”

Wei Shao pinched her chin, brought her face back, and forced her to look at him. After scrutinizing her, he unfurled his eyebrows. His expression looked smug: “You don’t believe what I said inside the letter? And think that I still have relations with Miss Su? Are you annoyed?”

Xiao Qiao’s eyebrows twisted slightly. “Snapped,” slapped away his hand that was pinching her chin, climbed out of the tub, and grabbed a towel to wrap her body. With a clatter behind, Wei Shao followed her and hugged her from the back while saying: “Actually, I had already visited her.”

Xiao Qiao was stunned and slowly turned her head.

He looked over with his dark eyes that carried a smile.

Xiao Qiao suddenly struggled and punched his arm: “You went to see her first when you came back and still mention it in front of me?”

Wei Shao laughed loudly and carried her out of the bathroom to the ivory-covered bed, holding her fisted hands.

“I went to see her is not as you think that ‘old love is difficult to break.’ I didn’t have anything with her before. Even if I did, it’s long gone. I only want to send her away tomorrow.”

Xiao Qiao stopped struggling and opened her eyes wide to look at him.

“Really?” A sentence came out of her mouth.

Wei Shao liked her dumb appearance and pinched her nose: “Really. Just-” He hesitated and said, “She said that she was still sick. She can’t leave for a while. Man Man, I’m not going to hide it from you. There was a time before she married she used to come in and out of my house. She took care of me for a long time. I still have some relationships with her in the end. Now she said so, regardless of the truth, I can not force her to leave ……”

His expression showed a trace of dilemma. They looked at each other for a moment. His vague reference to ‘there was a time’ and ‘took care of him for a long time’ should refer to what happened when he was twelve. Honestly, when he said that the first thing he did was send Su E Huang away for fear that she would mind, this already surprised her.

“Forget it. I understand! I didn’t ask you to kick her out now, either!” She then said graciously.

As if relieved, Wei Shao gently squeezed her cheeks, “Not angry anymore?”

Xiao Qiao wrinkled her nose, “When did I ever be angry?”

Wei Shao snorted and sneered at her, “Still say you are not angry! Chun Niang is already concerned about me, but you are not even a bit! You even deliberately did not reply to my letter!”

Xiao Qiao was dumbfounded before she realized it. Her eyes snapped open, “You were outside eavesdropping?”

Wei Shao grunted and said, “Nonsense! Do I need to eavesdrop?”

Xiao Qiao clenched her fist and punched him on the shoulder. Wei Shao caught her and pinned her hands firmly to the top of her head. He rolled over on top of her body, murmuring, “Chun Niang told you to entertain me, and I heard that you agreed to do so. How do you intend to do that, hmm?”

Xiao Qiao’s cheeks were scarlet with shame, and as she closed her eyes and kept shaking her head, Wei Shao kissed her deeply.

……

Wei Shao has not touched a woman for several months and returned from a victory, stored a fire like a volcano. The one in the bathroom was just the prelude. And this time, he pressed her into bed and would not easily let her go. Late at night, Xiao Qiao was tossed around by him to exhaustion. In the end, she couldn’t help but grunt and cry. Wei Shao seemed to love this look of hers and couldn’t hold the excitement.

Xiao Qiao was very tired but still could not sleep. There was a thought in her heart repeatedly circling. It was like a lump in the throat, and she wanted to say it. She quietly opened her eyes and looked at Wei Shao beside her. He closed his eyes, almost as if he was sleeping. But as if he sensed her peeking at himself, he did not open his eyes, but the corners of his lips curled slightly, touching her, and said vaguely: “Just now, didn’t you cry and ask me to let you go? Still not sleeping?”

Xiao Qiao mustered enough courage and said, “Husband, can I ask what is in that locked mahogany box at home?”
