Chapter 74.1
Wei Shao looked. Suddenly felt like something gently tickled his heart. He resisted, and his expression became more serious: “You know who I’m talking about.”
“There are a lot of people at home today. I don’t know to who Husband refers. Doctor Leling, the second aunt, the third aunt, the wife of the Duke of Zhen sent someone, oh yes, there is also madam from Zhongshan ……”
Xiao Qiao’s eyes widened, “Could it be that you are asking, is the Madam of Zhongshan?”
Wei Shao slightly narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a moment.
“Have you heard something before?” He said.
“What does husband think I have heard?”
Her cheeks tickled by the hair. Xiao Qiao raised her hand to brush the hair behind her ear carelessly.
Wei Shao paused.
“What could it be?”
He asked rhetorically. He was upset by her words and attitude. With a hum, he turned around and walked towards the study.
Xiao Qiao watched his back disappear at the end of the corridor, turned, and closed the door. She returned to her desk full of books and continued on the accounts as Old Zhong instructed her to do.
Wei Shao returned from the study and ignored Xiao Qiao, taking off his clothes and lying down.
Xiao Qiao did not have many pages left on the volume of the book in hand, so she wanted to finish it before going to sleep out of habit. Before long, she heard Wei Shao’s voice from the curtain: “It’s late. Grandmother only told you to take care of things, not to light the lamp in the middle of the night and rush to work on the accounts!”
Xiao Qiao secretly rolled her eyes. For the sake of not affecting his rest. She got up and went to wash her hands. Put out the light and went to bed.
The two didn’t talk, and each slept on their own. Wei Shao turned over several times. Xiao Qiao closed her eyes and did not make a sound.
Suddenly she heard him say, “I’m going out in a couple of days.”
Xiao Qiao opened her eyes in a daze.
“Where are you going, husband?”
” During the previous battle at Shiyi, Chen Xiang escaped and fled to Hedong to borrow troops and buy food from his friend Cao Jin, intending to return to attack Bingzhou. Now he is in the Shangdang area. Although he is not enough to be a threat, I must eliminate him. I will go myself.”
Xiao Qiao’s heart jumped, and she sats up.
She remembered, in her previous life, Da Qiao said when Mrs. Xu was sick, Wei Shao was not in Yuyang and at war.
At first, she was glad this was not the case in her current life. Because these days, Wei Shao had been at home.
These made Xiao Qiao feel at ease.
But it didn’t occur to her he suddenly said he was leaving in the next two days.
One more situation in line with the previous life!
Could things develop step by step towards the predetermined result of the previous life?
In the dimness, when Wei Shao saw her suddenly sitting up, he got off the bed to light the lamp.
“Can you not go, husband?” Xiao Qiao slowly raised her eyes to look at him and asked.
She sat beside him dazedly, and her eyes were straight as if she was shocked by his words.
Wei Shao never saw her appear like this in front of him. She also asked such childish words. For some reason, instead of being annoyed, a tender feeling of pity slowly emerged in his heart. The depression in the chest from the morning until now seemed to have disappeared.
Wei Shao said: “I’m afraid ……”
“Husband, don’t go!”
Xiao Qiao pounced on him and threw him onto the bed.
“Isn’t there still General Li and Wei Liang under your command? Let them go on your behalf!”
Wei Shao was caught off guard and fell on his back onto the bed.
She pounced on his chest, climbed his shoulders with two arms, and pressed his chest with two pink meatballs. Her beautiful eyes opened like a cat and gazed with anxiety.
Wei Shao straightened both hands, lying motionless, let her press him, hesitated, and said: ” The matter had discussed today ……”
“Husband, I beg you!” Xiao Qiao interrupted him, and two small hands kept shaking his shoulders, “I do not want you to go out to war again now! Please, stay!”
Wei Shao can only feel her flesh and bones. He knew he couldn’t change but couldn’t say no. After she shook his shoulders a few more times, a voice in his throat said, “…… allow me to discuss this tomorrow ……”
Xiao Qiao sighed and then realized she was pressing him. She let go of his shoulders and got off his body.
Wei Shao lifted his arm to grab her and rolled over to press her underneath him: “Are you that upset to see me go?”
His thumb cupped her chin, and his tone was teasing with arrogance and smugness.
Xiao Qiao saw his face just above her face and met his dark eyes, bit her lips, and gave a hmm.
” In that case, why are you cold-faced to me since morning?” Wei Shao coerced her.
Xiao Qiao held back the goosebumps. She avoided his gaze, staring at the knot of his throat, and said vaguely, “Who asked you to treat me like that last night ……”
