The Marquis Is Innocent

Every time they quarrel, Wei Shao always disappears in anger. Xiao Qiao was used to it.

After putting down his last words, Wei Shao ran away. Xiao Qiao’s legs were so weak that they had lost their strength. Back against the wall, she slowly slid to the ground. The palm that hit his face was still numb as if being pricked with million needles, leaving a residual dull pain, just like the feeling in this part of her chest at this moment. She felt blocked and panicked. She almost couldn’t breathe. She could not control her emotions and slapped him twice.

But Wei Shao also slapped her hard, completely waking her up. When their relationship was thick, she didn’t have an optimistic fantasy that Wei Shao could eliminate his hatred of the Qiao family in his heart because of her existence. But maybe he won’t be so ruthless. Or, at least not now.

Now their relationship was so intimate, ah! It was not too much to say that they were passionately in love. But she didn’t expect him to attack her brother-in-law, who was not a threat to him, secretly behind her back!

In the future, when he has lost his love for her, what else can he not do?

In Xiao Qiao’s mind, she could not help but remember Su E Huang. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she could imagine it. Xiao Qiao shivered and hurriedly drove the horrible scene out of her mind. Don’t think about it, don’t think about it anymore. She repeatedly told herself. Now what she should think was how to solve the entanglement in Lingbi.

In the future, she’d do whatever it takes and never hold any illusions about Wei Shao again.

She finally settled her mind, slowly held the wall, and stood straight. She swept across the study and moved towards the desk placed in the middle.

Da Qiao’s letter said that the Marquis of Yan should have misunderstood Bi Zhi, thus why he allowed Yang Xin to attack. Bi Zhi has sent a letter to the Marquis of Yan. He intended to clear up the misunderstanding and resolve the conflict.

Da Qiao also said she did not want her to know about this. But if she saw her letter, it would mean that the Marquis of Yan had not accepted Bi Zhi’s offer of reconciliation. She hoped that Xiao Qiao could assist her in some way. It was the last hope for reconciliation.

Since the two families were married, and she had shown her love for Wei Shao in front of Da Qiao, in Da Qiao’s opinion, Wei Shao had already removed the hatred between the two families. That’s why she thought Yang Xin had attacked them due to a misunderstanding. It was no surprise that Da Qiao would think so. Even Xiao Qiao also disbelieved when she first learned the news.

……

After Xiao Qiao came to the desk in Wei Shao, she rummaged through the pile of documents that had fallen to the floor. All of them were military information from all over the world, not what she was looking for.

She looked through the study and found the letter she had first written to Da Qiao stuffed into the middle of a stack of war reports. The only thing she was searching for was missing.

She looked around the study again, and her eyes fell on the basket of trash on the floor at the side of the desk. She quickly went over, rummaged around, and finally took out an unopened letter tube from inside.

Xiao Qiao opened the letter tube, took out the letter inside, unfolded it, and read it. She finally found Bi Zhi’s letter.

……

Goungsun Yang was in the official room of the government office, drafting paperwork, writing as fast as he could, when his servant came running in from outside, saying that the Lady had come.

Gongsun Yang was stunned and hastily put down the pen. He was about to rise when he saw a purple figure at the door. The Lady has entered the room. He hurriedly moved forward, bowed, and said: “I do not know the Lady came. I missed the chance to welcome you.”

He still has the second half of his sentence, “What can I do for you?” The Lady would not visit him for no reason. There must be something.

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, “Sir, there is no need to be polite. I am here because I have something important.”

Gongsun Yang invited her to sit and said, “If you have any orders, just send someone to call me, and I will visit you. How dare I bother you to come here?”

Xiao Qiao took her seat and said, “I’m not going to lie. I’m here to ask you for advice on the situation of Lingbi.”

Gongsun Yang was stunned. Xiao Qiao took out the letter in her hands.

“This is a letter from Bi Zhi to Marquis.”
