The Marquis Is Innocent

She didn’t know why he wasn’t furious with her but instead had to cover up his anger in such a way that made people feel even more uneasy.

At this moment, she vaguely seems to have some understanding. Maybe it has something to do with Zhang Pu.

But Zhang Pu, what exactly did he say?

Wei Shao got up from behind the desk, grabbed the sword across the table, drew it, and walked towards Zhang Pu.

Zhang Pu fell to the ground, crawling backward, begging unceasingly.

“Marquis spare my life – Marquis spare -”

A sword light swept by, a head attached to the neck a moment before, suddenly flew out, rolled to the corner, and then stopped.

A column of blood gushed out in the air. It splattered on Wei Shao’s lapel and on his face.

Xiao Qiao shrieked and watched in horror as Wei Shao turned around, carrying the still dripping blood sword, and walked towards her step by step.

The long-lost memories of the last scene in her previous life’s dream suddenly flooded back at her. She clenched her teeth to keep them from chattering.

Wei Shao arrived before her, and a few drops of blood splattered on his face slightly trickled down. After looking at her for a moment, “ding,” he threw away the sword.

“This man, bring Qiao Yue’s head to join me. Yanzhou or your Qiao Family, keep it for yourself. You may go.” He said coldly.

Xiao Qiao forced herself to hold up her legs which had become soft and wobbly and reluctantly stood up.

“What’s wrong with you? What did Zhang Pu say?”

Wei Shao did not speak.

“Husband–”

“Someone, send her out!”

Wei Shao suddenly seemed to burst out, twisted his head, and roared outward. With his palm, he swept the things on the desk that separated the two to the floor.

Documents, paperwork, pens, ink, arrows, and tokens, fell all over the floor in a wretched mess.

Lei Ze entered in a panic, glanced at Zhang Pu’s headless corpse, who had fallen to the ground, and hurriedly tried to brace himself to pull it out.

“Send her away!” Wei Shao roared again.

Lei Ze froze, and only then did he understand. He looked at Wei Shao.

Wei Shao looked gloomy.

Lei Ze hesitated, “Lady-”

“Please bother General Lei to go out first. I still have something to say to Marquis.” Xiao Qiao said.

Lei Ze hastily bent down and got Zhang Pu’s corpse out along with his head.

“Husband-”

“Don’t call me husband!”

Xiao Qiao paused, “What exactly did Zhang Pu say to you ……”

His lips remained tightly closed.

Xiao Qiao’s heart was in turmoil, and her back was already wet with cold sweat.

She could feel Wei Shao’s anger towards her not only because of this Yanzhou matter. It seems mixed with something else.

What was it?

She closed her eyes and tried to remember in her mind. Suddenly, she felt heavily yanked by something. Her eyes snapped open.

“In the year following my first marriage to you, when I returned to Yanzhou, I had advised my father to be strong and recruit troops.” She looked into Wei Shao’s sullen eyes.

“At that time, one of the reasons I persuaded my father was to guard against you.” She said slowly.

At that time, when her father was persuading Qiao Yue, he naturally could not have said that it was his proposal. But Yanzhou moved precisely from the time she left.

Zhang Pu, to show his loyalty in front of Wei Shao, said the purpose of Yanzhou strengthening their army was to prevent him from taking revenge.

Zhang Pu may not have mentioned her. But Wei Shao could have thought of this. Her face slowly became pale, and her lips faded in color.

She looked at him silently. She did not want to shed tears.

From that day after bidding farewell to Mrs. Xu on the road until the moment before, she had not shed a tear.

She did not want to cry. She hoped that things had not yet developed in the worst direction, hoping there was still room for maneuvering.

Until this moment.

Xiao Qiao’s eyes suddenly became hot. She tried her best to hold back. Finally, she forced that burst of intent back.

“I know what makes you hate me. You hate the fact that I married you to scheme you. But you and I were united in a marriage for different purposes. We were in the same bed but had different dreams. At that time, I was afraid of you and could not believe you. That’s why I advised my father so. I dare not say I was right, but I can’t say against my heart that I was wrong to make that decision. After all, none of us can foresee the future, let alone see what is in each other’s mind, can we? My mistake was that I only advised my father to be strong but did not pay enough attention to the hidden problems of my Qiao family and take precautions, which has led to today’s bad results, the death of Wei Liang and other innocent victims, and failed to live up to promises you made for me ……”

Wei Shao suddenly sneered. His smile was a bit bizarre.

“I remember clearly, at that time, to pick you up early, I chased you to the south. You and I at the Wu Chao ferry were affectionate, but it turned out that your heart ……” He suddenly stopped, disgusted.

“You do not have to say it! From now on, don’t mention anything about your Qiao family! The Qiao family has taken great pains to marry you here. You have also condescended to serve me for three years, which is not a short time, and now you have given birth to a child. I will satisfy you and let your Qiao family live. Tell your Qiao family, do not offend me again. Next time, I will not be like this. Don’t think I’ll hold back because I’m concerned about my reputation! If I want to kill, I will kill. What does it matter to me what the world says?”

With the palm of his hand, Wei Shao heavily wiped away the drops of blood on his cheek. But it left a dark red drag mark, making his face look hideous.

He turned to leave.
