The Marquis Is Innocent - 155.2
Chapter 155.2
Mrs. Xu gazed at her for a while and sighed: “You are good at everything but too patient. Understanding is naturally good, but you, child, make my heart ache,” She turned to Wei Shao, “This time, the siege of Shanggu, if not your wife thought of the method of inviting Qiang troops to help, if not your wife inspiring the people and the army, when you returned, Yuyang may have been ruin by Xiongnu! I don’t need to tell you what you should do, right?”
Wei Shao glanced at Xiao Qiao, bowed towards Mrs. Xu, and said, “I have learned Grandmother’s precious teachings by heart.”
Mrs. Xu nodded and said to Xiao Qiao, “This time, you are the first person to take credit for relieving the siege in Shanggu. If you have any wishes or desires, just let me know. I will honor them if I can.”
Xiao Qiao knelt and bowed respectfully towards her, straightened up, and said, “I accept Grandmother’s golden words. In this case, I will boldly say it.”
Mrs. Xu smiled, “Speak! There is no need to be concerned!”
Xiao Qiao said: ”A few months ago, I corresponded with my father, and although he was spirited in his words, something is weighing on my heart. If Grandmother and Husband agree, I want to bring Fei Fei to East County for a few days. I know that Grandmother has always loved Fei Fei, and I should not take her, not to mention that after Grandmother’s serious illness, I should do my filial piety. Therefore, I also know that this is an insensitive request.”
Wei Shao was taken aback and immediately turned to look at Xiao Qiao, who gazed at Mrs Xu. His expression was frozen. He subconsciously wanted to say it was not good but didn’t realize that Mrs. Xu, on the other side, had already nodded her head, “Permission granted.”
Wei Shao froze, his mouth slightly agape, and paused.
Mrs. Xu said: “Qingzhou Langya had destroyed. Now Shandong was at peace. You can go. Your father was alone and blind. The mouth does not say, but the heart must be missing you. Not to mention he never met Fei Fei. I am already well. Rest assured. You can go back to live there for some time to accompany your father, which is also filial piety.”
Xiao Qiao kowtowed Mrs. Xu and thanked her.
Mrs. Xu smiled, gestured for her to get up, and said to the frozen Wei Shao: “Can you manage to spare the time? If you can, put aside other matters and send your wife back to East County first!”
……
“It was fine, but why do you suddenly want to return to East County?”
Once he returned to his room, Wei Shao immediately dismissed the servants and asked, looking slightly agitated.
“When my father’s eyes were poisoned, I only looked after him for three or four days before hurriedly returning to Yuyang. I couldn’t let go of it in my heart. Now that things have ended here, and you’re leaving soon, Grandmother is kind and doesn’t mind if I don’t stay with her to fulfill my filial duties, so I’ll go back to East County to stay for a few days.”
Xiao Qiao sat on the edge of the bed, lowered her head, and folded Fei Fei’s tiny clothes while explaining.
Wei Shao looked at her, then suddenly stepped forward, sat on her side, and hugged her.
“Are you angry with me? That day when I returned to the city, I was indeed negligent, only thinking of conquering the Xiongnu. I didn’t see you right away. Later, when my mother had an accident, I didn’t pay much attention to your feelings either. Are you angry with me?”
Xiao Qiao shook her head, “I’m not angry ……”
“Then don’t go back to East County. I don’t want you to go back-”
Wei Shao hugged her tightly as if he was like a child whose beloved toy had been taken away. Suddenly, he pressed her down on the bed and kissed her eagerly while his hands began to undo her sash.
A moment later, he stopped and buried his face in her shoulder. His tone was sultry with a hint of hurt, “You’re still mad at me ……”
“What do you want me to do before you’re willing to stay? Man Man, you tell me!” He suddenly raised his head, ” What if I don’t leave? I’ll stay to keep you company for some more time, okay?” He gently shook her shoulders as if he was pampering her.
Xiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes and smiled faintly at him.
“Husband, I’m not angry with you. We’ve been a couple for several years and stumbling along the way so far. I know it is difficult for you, but I won’t hide it from you. It is not easy for me either.”
Wei Shao froze.
Xiao Qiao closed her eyes, her long eyelashes quivered slightly, and she let out a low delicate sigh. “The way I feel nowadays, it’s relaxed, but I don’t know why I’m also a bit exhausted. Grandmother has allowed me to be self-indulgent, and I will follow my own heart for a while.”
“Therefore, I want to go back to East County. Besides visiting my father, my elder sister is also at home, so I want to stay for some days. I hope that you, Husband, will be able to fulfill my wish.”
Xiao Qiao gazed at him while saying slowly.
