The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 115.2

Su E Huangs fall was not light. Not only did she faint on the spot, but she was wounded on her forehead. When Xiao Qiao heard the news, Wei Shao had already asked someone to put Su E Huang in place and sent for a doctor quickly. The doctor couldnt diagnose anything, but when he heard Su E Huangs maid say that she suffered from head problems, he said it was a recurrence of her old disease. She was unconscious because she fell from a high place. He wrapped the wound on her forehead and prescribed a medicine to remove blood stasis and activate the blood.

Su E Huang woke up only when it was dark. Because of fatigue and forehead injury, she naturally couldnt leave and stayed that night. This stay lasted for three days. On the third day, although there was a scar on her forehead, she could get down to the ground. With her maids support, she came to thank Xiao Qiao, saying she could not bother her anymore and return to the post house to recuperate.

Earlier, I was afraid my younger sister would misunderstand, so I did not mention that Xing Xun threatened me. I had no choice but to go south. I didnt want Zhonglin to get into trouble with Xingxun because of me. When Zhonglin said he wanted to protect me, I tried to persuade him, but he wouldnt change his mind. He is such a temper since childhood. I had no choice but to accept Zhonglins arrangement for the time being and agreed to it. While Zhonglin is not here, I would like to ask my younger sister to persuade Zhonglin. Dont cross Xing Xun because of me! If there is a conflict because of me, how can I have peace in my heart!

Su E Huangs face was pale, but her eyes were unusually bright. She seemed to struggle to speak and said these words one by one.

Then, Xiao Qiao had someone send her out.

As soon as Su E Huang left, Chun Niang was so angry that her hands were trembling, and she gritted her teeth and said, Did you see that, Lady? The words she said before she left were provocative to you!

Xiao Qiao did not hear it but asked, Is there still no reply from the Old Madam?

Half a month ago, when Su E Huang had just come to Jinyang to stay in the post house, and Wei Shao had not yet returned, Xiao Qiao wrote a letter to Mrs. Xu, handing it to Mr. Jia and instructing him to send the letter to Mrs. Xu in a hurried.

Now, counting the distance, there should be a reply soon.

Chun Niang was stunned: Ill find General Jia and ask again.

Three days later, Chun Niang hurriedly found Xiao Qiao and handed her a reply letter that she had been waiting for some time.

Xiao Qiao asked Chun Niang and her maids to leave. Then, she slowly opened the tube and poured out the sealed silk scroll. She opened the silk scroll, read it, lost in thought for a moment, and slowly breathed out.

After Wei Shao stole a few days of leisure, these two days, with Gongsun Yang and other people returning to Jinyang one after another, he was busy again. Today early in the morning, he went to the camp outside the city and returned only when it was dark.

When Xiao Qiao served Wei Shao to undress, Wei Shao wanted to hug her. She avoided it and said casually, I have not sent anyone to visit the post house in the past few days, so I dont know how Miss Sus illness is. Did Husband visit her?

Wei Shao coughed dryly and said, I am busy these days. How can I be free? Ill take you back to Yuyang after I conclude things here. Grandmother has not seen you for half a year, so its time to return. As for Miss Su, I will send someone to escort her away after she has recovered.

Xiao Qiao looked at him and smiled: The water is ready. Husband can go and bathe. She said and turned around.

Wei Shao looked at her back and quickly stepped after her, hugging her intimately: I havent seen you for a day. Join me in the bath.

Xiao Qiao lazily said, Ive already bathed. Im a little tired. Ill go lie down.

Wei Shao carried her to the bed and kissed her, but she did not react much. There was even some boredom. He stopped and said: Ive told you. Xing Xun threatened her. He forced her to go to Luoyang. She was helpless, and I told her to return. She also wanted to return to Zhongshan the next day. Unexpectedly, there was an accident. Let her recuperate for a few more days, and when she is well, send her on her way. Why do you always suspicious?

Xiao Qiao closed her eyes and said, I only said I was tired. I didnt say anything else. You and Miss Su have an old friendship. You can make your arrangements. I trust you.

Wei Shao stared at her, Are you annoyed?

Xiao Qiao still closed her eyes: No.

You are.

No!

You are annoyed!

Xiao Qiao slowly opened her eyes and met Wei Shaos eyes. He leaned over and looked at her: Husband has already decided I am annoyed. If I am not annoyed, it would be my fault.

Wei Shaos furrowed brow gradually loosened again after gazing at her. He suddenly said, Man Man, Miss Su wants to rely on me now, and I am aware of it. Last year, on my grandmothers birthday, she sent a letter to me, but I did not accept it at the time. At that time, I had just married you, we had a cold relationship, but I had no intention of getting involved with her again, let alone now.

Xiao Qiao was stunned.

What she said to me is true or false is irrelevant. I have no intention of investigating it. I know she is now without a husband and has repeatedly approached me because she wants to depend on me. If I hadnt married you, I might have taken her because of the love I had when I was a teenager. But now I am married to you. I knew you were jealous, and I wont tangle with her. Todays treatment is all because of the affection we had when we were young. There is no other intention. After she recovers and can travel, I will send someone to escort her back to Zhongshan.

They looked at each other. Xiao Qiao beamed and whispered, Im not the one who is jealous!

Okay, okay, Ive wronged you. Man Man is the most generous. Wei Shao smiled and hooked her nose, Still tired?

Xiao Qiao bit her lip: Still tired.

Wei Shao leaned towards her: Then let me take care of your fatigue for you.

Xiao Qiao dodged and said, Husband, theres something I have not mentioned before. I received a letter from Grandmother today, and she told me about her near-death incident last year. I dont know if I should say it.

Wei Shao buried his face under her neck while kissing her freshly bathed skin. He immediately stopped and raised his head: What is it?

Last year, before Grandmothers accident, someone had seen Su Xin and that country marquis wife together. Xiao Qiao spoke while looking at Wei Shao.
