The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 82.2



He went straight to the west house. He opened the courtyard door.

The granny who had just gotten out of the blanket was shaking and rubbing her eyes, and saw that it was the master who had returned. She opened her mouth, before she could say that the lady was not here at the moment, the master had already walked in with great strides, leaving a series of footprints on the ground behind him.

Wei Shao went straight into the inner courtyard.

The courtyard was white and dull. Trees, passages, steps, roofs, all covered with a layer of white.

The surrounding area was quiet. In the night sky, snow is still falling soundlessly. A few pieces fell on his brow and face, quickly melted away by his hot body heat at the moment.

The sky is cold and the ground is freezing. Wei Shao did not feel cold. On the contrary, he feels hot at the moment.

Perhaps the battle armor on his body was too heavy. He felt a hot flush of sweat emerge from his back.

His footsteps were fast. He didn’t notice that the lanterns hanging from the top of the corridor every few steps were dark at the moment.

He took a few steps up the steps and finally stopped at the door. Raising his arm, he pushed the door gently and tentatively.

She did not latch the door.

It opened easily.

The room was dark inside. There was no warmth that Wei Shao imagined should come with a little fragrance.

Wei Shao hesitated a little, but continued to walk inside. Finally he stopped in front of the bed. His figure was frozen.

The light from the window was dull from the snow, but it was enough for him to see the scene in front of him.

The curtain was closed at the sides, and the bed was laid out with neatly folded quilts and pillows, but without her.

Empty.

Wei Shao’s eyes opened a little wide, lying down, reaching out his hand, touching the empty cold bed, then jerked straight up, turned and stride towards the outside, his feet sounded heavily on the ground, and when he reached the door, pulled the door open, the wind wrapped in snow came over.

” Where is everybody! Where did they go?”

He shouted at the empty courtyard.

Soon, the lights in the west house became bright.

Wei Shao bowed his head and took off his own battle armor. Old Lin said carefully at the side, ” Report to Master, the Lady left more than a month ago. She said she was going back to the East County to visit her sick aunt. It’s the old Madam herself who gave her permission at that time.”

“Who escorted her?”

Old Lin answered.

“Did she say when she would return?”

“This servant does not know.”

“Where is Chun Niang?”

Wei Shao looked around at the servants and maids who had just been startled by his roar and had lined up in front of him.

” Chun Niang also went back with the lady.” Old Lin said.

Wei Shao’s brow wrinkled. As if lost in thought for a moment, brushed his hand and said indifferently, “Prepare the bath.”

Old Lin answered. With a wink, she instructed everyone to exit the room and prepare to serve the master to bathe. She was the last to retreat.

She could see that the master who suddenly returned home from his expedition late at night was not in a good mood. She guessed that it should be related to the return of the lady to the south. Therefore, the incident that happened in the north house and the east house some time ago, now even if she was lent ten guts, she did not dare to mention it in front him.

……

Wei Shao came out of the bath room, not even wearing a middle clothes, and fell onto the bed heavily on his back, shirtless.

The firm, fragrant wood bed gave a slight “creak” from the force of his fall.

Wei Shao closed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of loss and distraction.

He can remember clearly, the night before he left for war, once she heard the news that he was leaving, her face changed color on the spot, like she was about to cry, jumped over him and pinned him down, and shook his shoulders and pouted at him, refusing to let him go.

The next morning he got up, his legs were a little weak. He almost wanted to let them go on an expedition to fight the war, and he stayed to guard Youzhou.

Later, it was Gongsun Yang’s coughing expression as if he was about to vomit blood that made him shut his mouth dangerously.

Even the military strategist insisted on coming along with the army even though he was coughing so painfully.

He, the healthy marquis, could not withstand the woman’s several pouting shaking her shoulders, if his men knew about it, where he put his face in the future?

So the following night he came back and decisively rejected her, and did not look at her sad eyes. But later, when he saw her lying in bed sullen, he had a moment of weakness and leaned over to comfort her, but she turned around and pulled up the quilt to cover her head, giving him a back of the head.

It is this back of the head, let Wei Shao made up his mind. After a struggle of the mind, he decided to let nature take its course and no longer coax her.

He could not be led by the nose by this woman anymore. If this continues, what if one day he makes a big mistake.

King You lit the beacon tower to made the beauty smile. Such an absurd drama almost happened to him.

T/N : Fenghuo Opera Princes refers to the historical events of the Western Zhou Dynasty. For making Baosi (bāo sì) smile, King Zhou You lit the beacon tower, and teased the princes. Bao Si looked at it and really laughed. King Zhou You was very happy, so he lit the beacon fire many times. As a result, the princes didn’t believe in Fenghuo, so they gradually stopped coming. Later, Quanrong broke through Gaojing and killed King Zhou You. King Zhou Ping, the son of King Zhou You, moved to the east and started the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. [1]

Unbelievable to think about!

So for the next three or two days, the two went on indifferently.

He did not touch her. Really didn’t even touch a finger.

Then it was time for him to go out on the road.

Rolling in the dead for a few months.

Now he’s back.

The woman who had begged him to stay and made him almost make a mistake was actually gone? Back to the Qiao family in East County?

For a moment, an evil thought popped into Wei Shao’s head, wishing he could immediately go and destroy that damn Qiao family.

Let her go back again!
