The Marquis Is Innocent

Wei Shao walked side by side with Xiao Qiao, but his steps became faster and left her behind. When they returned to the inner courtyard of the west house, although Xiao Qiao was chasing him deliberately, she still left behind.

Xiao Qiao finally slowed down her steps and watched him ascend the steps, and his figure disappeared into the door.

Chun Niang and the maids in the corridor saw the two of them return and came over to greet them. Xiao Qiao asked for the cat and learned it had been carried back, nodded, and told them to looked it more firmly and not to let it run alone again. The Wei Manor was huge, and it was troublesome to find it.

The maid responded. Chun Niang asked if she was ready to eat.

The night was getting dark. Xiao Qiao had not eaten dinner yet. She guessed Wei Shao hadn’t eaten either. She sent the preparations down and went to the door of her room. She pushed open the hidden door and stepped inside.

The light in the room was not yet lit, and the room was a bit dark. Only a ray of smoky green twilight from the closed window covered appliances and objects in the room.

She did not see Wei Shao at first glance. She took a few steps inside, stopped at the side of the screen, and tentatively called out, “Husband, it’s time to eat.” Suddenly, without warning, an arm came up behind her and clamped down on her waist. Before she could react, she was hanging upside down by Wei Shao’s shoulders and carried to the bed.

Xiao Qiao was thrown from his shoulder to the bed like a sack of noodles.

The bed was covered with a soft blanket and she did not fall painfully, but her appearance lying on her back was a bit messy, and she was a bit frightened. When she got up and turned her head, she saw Wei Shao standing with his legs apart in front of the bed and suddenly raised one hand and began to unbuckle his belt.

He was untying his belt, looking at her on the bed with both eyes. At first, he moved slowly, but suddenly he seemed agitated and ripped open his clothes.

It came too inexplicably. Moreover, Xiao Qiao sensed that his temperament was not right.

She immediately tried to get off the bed. But Wei Shao had already shrugged off the clothes he had just taken off and pushed her back, then one of his knees knelt on the bed, and the other leg pressed against her belly. She couldn’t move.

Xiao Qiao immediately shook her head: “Dinner is ready–”

Wei Shao reached over with one hand and squeezed her cheeks with five fingers apart, stopping her from shaking her head.

Xiao Qiao stopped talking when he squeezed her cheeks.

She opened her eyes wide and watched with slight fear as Wei Shao pressed against her belly, staring at herself motionlessly.

It was as if he was examining her. As if he did not know her before.

“Husband–”

Xiao Qiao’s eyes looked at him, muffled, barely able to call out to him.

Xiao Qiao felt scared. The same bone-chilling fear she felt on her wedding night when she accidentally woke him up and he pulled his sword from under his pillow and pointed it at her face, came over her once again.

The knot in Wei Shao’s throat moved, releasing her cheek, and then his heavy body pressed down, crushing her.

In the past, he had also wanted her hastily and even hurt her because of rough movements. But never like this. He treated her with no pity at all. Xiao Qiao saw his face was tense almost to the point of distortion, and his expression revealed a trace of fierceness.

The room was dark. It was even darker at the half-covered bed curtain. But his eyes were burning with excitement, lust, and a dark aura of something else that Xiao Qiao couldn’t understand.

Xiao Qiao subconsciously began to struggle. Her two hands pushed his shoulders. He bit Xiao Qiao’s lips. The bite was painful for her.

Xiao Qiao clenched her teeth. Wei Shao then left her lips. His hand pulled open her clothes, lowered his head, and pounded on her warm, fatty breasts with his mouth and hands. The snowy skin of her breasts soon became red, and Xiao Qiao whimpered in pain: ” Did I do anything wrong ……”

Wei Shao’s eyes are more lustful. Without saying a word, his hand pinched her thighs.

Being treated brutally and thinking about his restlessness over the past two days, his past affectionate love was like irony.

The room was a bit hot from the Autumn, and she was sweating from the heat, but the chill in Xiao Qiao’s heart was expanding, and the hidden anger was slowly rising.

As he gasped his burning breath and tried to force his way into her, she raised her hand and pulled his face to her face, forcing him to look her in the eyes.

“I want you to tell me exactly why you are doing this to me?” She stared into his eyes, word by word.

Wei Shao was drenched in sweat, his face flushed like drunkenness, and his eyes were faintly bloodshot.

“The world’s men are thinking of having you as I do. Are you satisfied? I don’t care about other people, but even the men of my Wei family, too, want to be under your skirt?”

He paused, gritting his teeth, and said.

Xiao Qiao suddenly understood, and her heart was shocked.

“How dare you suspect me of having an affair with your cousin?”

Wei Shao’s eyelids fluttered and he did not speak, as if he did not want to talk to her anymore. His crimson eyes fell on her lips again, lowered his head, and pressed down, sucking hard.

“Let go!”

Xiao Qiao pushed his face away with great effort.

He didn’t say a word. His expression grew gloomier and clasped her lips with a fierce grip.

Her lips were already swollen from his torture.

Xiao Qiao once again fought to push him away.

When he tried to bite for the third time, Xiao Qiao raised her hand and grabbed his hair. Wei Shao gave a low hiss, ignored the pain of having his hair torn from its roots, and returned to suck on her mouth again.

The pain and anger from the bottom of her heart made Xiao Qiao couldn’t hold back any longer and let go of his hair and slapped him across the face.

A loud “pop” sounded.

As if struck by a spell, Wei Shao suddenly stopped, and the whole person stagnated.

Slowly, he turned his face back, touching his left cheek, then stared at her, eyes showing a trace of unbelievable anger.

Xiao Qiao was already tired and out of breath when she saw him staring at her like this. She took a breath and said angrily: “I can tolerate anything else. Only this one, I will never allow you to be so narrow-minded and force it on me!”

She paused and sneered, ” Even if I am fickle, the men of your Wei family may not be able to enter my eyes!”

Xiao Qiao no longer spoke and completely stopped struggling. She closed her eyes, and her expression became calm.

Wei Shao stared deathly at her calm. He closed his eyes, and his breathing got even worse.

A hot sweat rolled down his forehead and splashed onto her brow, gradually blending with the moisture seeping from her forehead.

Xiao Qiao suddenly felt a lightness in her body. Open her eyes and see Wei Shao get up from her, lift the curtain, and go down to the floor.

The curtain was carried by the force of his arms and made a crisp cracking sound.

Wei Shao turned his back on her and quickly put back on the clothes he had just thrown on the ground and left in stride.

Xiao Qiao’s heart was beating like a drum. She listened to the footsteps in the hallway outside the door, Chun Niang asked him if he would have dinner, and then the voices cut off, then it was quiet.

Xiao Qiao slowly sat up from the pillow, her hands trembling slightly. She settled down and looked down to straighten her clothes he had torn to pieces.

Chun Niang came in. Her footsteps were hesitant at first. When she saw Xiao Qiao sitting on the bed, she was startled and ran up quickly.

“I had a little dispute with him. Marquis was temporarily confused and just went out for a walk.”

Xiao Qiao stopped Chun Niang’s mouth from opening, went down to the mirror herself, and straightened her scattered hair in the mirror.

Chun Niang followed behind her, looking at her back with a worried expression.

” Chun Niang, my belly is hungry. Let’s go eat.”

Xiao Qiao straightened her hair at the temples and turned to her.

……

Wei Shao did not return to his room that night. He only returned the next morning.

When he returned to his room, Xiao Qiao was already up and had just finished dressing.

Wei Shao’s face was expressionless as if he had not seen her. After washing up and changing his clothes, he went to the north house. Xiao Qiao followed him silently. The two of them arrived in front of Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu said Wei Yan had just left. Tomorrow is the Lu Li Conference. He always handled it in the past, but this time he went to the county and just returned yesterday, and he must be busy today.

When Mrs. Xu was talking, Wei Shao looked as normal as ever, and Xiao Qiao smiled the whole time. They came out together, and when they reached the fork in the road, Wei Shao did not stop and left her to go on in the direction of the front door. Xiao Qiao called out to him.

He stopped reluctantly and turned half his face back to glance at her.

Xiao Qiao walked up to him and said, “It’s nothing else. It’s about that Western cat. It was originally given to me by you. Since you can’t touch it, and I see that you seem to hate it, I can’t keep it, so you’d better take it back. Or if it’s too much trouble, I’ll find another family willing to adopt it and send it away. Because it’s yours, I’ll tell you before I dispose of it.”

She likes it quite a bit and would like to keep it. But she feels that this cat seems to conflict with the two people in the family surnamed Wei, and it doesn’t seem right for her to keep it any longer.

“It’s just an animal! I gave it to you. If you want to raise it, then raise it. I’m not so narrow-minded as to have a problem with an animal!”

Wei Shao said coldly and turned away.

Xiao Qiao paused, watched his back disappear, turned around, and returned to her room. After returning to the room and thinking about it, she decided she couldn’t keep it.

This cat was expensive. The daily staple food was meat. The ordinary family must be unable to keep it, and Xiao Qiao could not bear to let it stray. Then she instructed the servants to inquire about a suitable family.

Old Lin and others were surprised. They thought it was a plaything given by the Marquis to the Lady to please her, why Lady wanted to send it away after only a few days. Although they all like the fluffy look of it, they won’t be able to support it, and if it dies, they will not be able to explain it.

In the evening, a servant came from the north house, saying Mrs. Xu had been informed and asked the cat.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly carried the cat herself. When Mrs. Xu saw the cat, she liked it very much. The cat seemed to be quite attached to her, and after being held by Mrs. Xu, stroking its head a few times and making a few purring sounds in its throat, it curled up on her lap and didn’t move.

“Erlang especially gave it to you to raise. Only a few days, how come you want to send it away?” Mrs. Xu asked after holding the cat for a while.

Xiao Qiao said, ” I couldn’t let go of it either. Only after my husband sent it to me did I realize it made him uncomfortable.” Then she mentioned the day he sneezed in the cat house and later got itchy red spots on his body.

Mrs. Xu suddenly understood and nodded: “So that’s how it is. As I said! You can’t keep it there. From now on, you can put it in my place. I saw that we seemed to like each other. It’s a good companion.”

Xiao Qiao smiled and said, ” I was worried I couldn’t find a good place to keep it. Now that grandmother has taken it in, it’s a blessing, it’s much better than me, and I’m relieved.”

Mrs. Xu smiled, looked down, stroked the cat, and said as if she had no intention, “Did Zhonglin make you angry?”

Xiao Qiao was stunned and raised her eyes to see Mrs. Xu’s eye looking at herself, which was very bright, although it contained a gentle smile. She guessed she had seen something.

As expected, Mrs. Xu smiled again and said, “When you came here early in the morning, I felt something was wrong as soon as I saw you. In the past, when you came to see me and talk to me, I would see you two looking at each other, but this morning only my grandson looked at you. I saw you did not even sweep him out of the corner of your eye. I thought, “If he didn’t offend you, what else could it be?”
