His chest was also covered with sweat. It seems that every pore on the skin is constantly steaming hot air.

Xiao Qiao also leaned on her hot cheeks, and her ears could clearly feel the fast beating of his heart, which had not calmed down from the violent beating.

She closed her eyes.

"Otherwise?" she asked in a hoarse voice.

Wei Shao didn't answer.

The silence in the darkness continued on a measured basis, like an invisible but real undercurrent, silently enveloped Xiao Qiao's whole body.

She suddenly felt a little cold, shivered slightly, and the skin on her arms and back seemed to have tiny goose bumps, and only then did she realize that her sweat-drenched body was not even an inch.

Fang is hot and humid, but now it is cold and sweaty.

She removed Wei Shao's heavy arm from her waist, gropingly put on the clothes that had been taken off before, climbed out of bed, and lit the candle.

Wei Shao still leaned back on the bed. There was sweat on his forehead. With the candlelight shining, he looked at her deeply.

Xiao Qiao slowly knelt down beside him and looked directly into his eyes.

"I'm afraid my answer will disappoint my husband. Yanzhou is nothing to me. But the kindness of my parents will never be separated because of my marriage. Even if my husband is you, I can't do it."

Her tone was calm, but word by word came out of her mouth clearly.

Wei Shao didn't move. The light in her eyes seemed to gradually solidify, and two o'clock settled on her face.

"I don't want to hide my husband. When I woke up this morning and opened my eyes, I didn't see my husband by my side. Manman was a little confused. Why does my husband know? Because I remembered that when I first came to Wei's house a year ago, my husband refused to take me with him. When I went to the ancestral temple to worship my ancestors. Manman thought that even now, my husband still has the same thoughts. When I saw my husband appear and took me into the grandmother's house, I felt at ease, and I was even more grateful to my husband. Husband made such a request to me again..."

She stopped and calmed down the inexplicable hard feeling in her heart at the moment.

"There are some things that Manman only dared to think in his heart, but he never dared to say it in front of her husband. I was afraid that I would touch her husband's taboos. Husband should also not want to hear Manman say something against his heart in front of his husband. Manman has something to say."

She took a deep breath and met Wei Shao's two eyes staring at her again.

Xu Shi's fiery passion from a moment ago has gradually subsided, and his eyes at the moment are a little empty, to the point of indifference to her.

Xiao Qiao said: "I don't dare to pretend that I can appreciate the feelings of my husband when he paid homage to our ancestors this morning. My Qiao family did break the covenant and caused my husband to suffer the pain of bereavement. This point, my father He never denied it. His father is also deeply guilty. At the time, my Qiao family took the initiative to seek favor with their husband through marriage, of course, to understand the difficulties of Yanzhou that day, but why didn't I want to use marriage to repair the Wei family? In the past, my grandfather, who was involved in the incident, was also buried early. For those of us who are still alive, the descendants of the Qiao family, apart from trying to repair it as much as possible and hoping to resolve the feud between the two families, what else can we do to make up for it? "

Her voice gradually became a little excited: "I know in my heart that I am a low-ranking person, but I am only a woman. Even if I serve you, it will not be enough to offset the loss of your family. But marriage is the difference between the two surnames. Well, since the Wei family accepted the marriage, in my father's opinion, the Wei family agreed with the alliance of marriage. If an understanding is reached, I naturally dare not think so. But since I married into my husband's family, I have been walking on thin ice. , trembling, self-restraint and courtesy, the only thing I think about is to try my best to serve my husband and the elders in my family, so as to live up to the good heart that my father married me that day. I ask myself, and I should have no major mistakes in normal times. Today To be honest, although I am busy and exhausted, my heart is filled with joy when my husband treats me so tenderly in the morning, and I believe that as long as I persevere, I will not dare to ask my husband to love the house and Wu in the future, but one day, I will slowly be able to let go of the feud between the two families. It's not a daydream. But unexpectedly, my husband suddenly wants me to cut off communication with my mother's family! I know that my husband treats me very well, and I should be grateful. However, everyone is born with parents. With all due respect, Manman does this. I can't understand it, I can't accept it."

Xiao Qiao took her last breath, and finally finished saying some words that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time. Suddenly, the sullenness in her chest that was holding back her almost tears was completely released, and the whole person felt relieved.

She really looks very embarrassed: her clothes are disheveled, her long hair is messy, her cheeks and eyelashes are still stained with remnants of star-spotted tears, the collar of her clothes is not covered tightly, and on top of the exposed piece of tender skin, it is even more covered with squares. The pitiful imprint of being abused and loved by him.

Just the two eyes that were cast towards Wei Shao slowly became unusually calm.

…

Xiao Qiao knew that he should have offended Wei Shao. Not only offended, but severely offended.

Some words, even in a more euphemistic way, may have been buried in my heart forever.

Then again, it's best never to let a man know.

But this time, she spoke out. After marrying him, for the first time, she was not false, not duplicitous, not sweet, but gave him a response in the way she really thought in her heart.

Every time Wei Shao enters the temple, he may experience a pain that others cannot share. So he was in a bad mood again today. Only then will I come back drunk and possess myself.

If she is smart enough, she should, like before, try to coax him into joy, let him follow her own thoughts, and finally take back the words he said.

While it won't be easy tonight, it's not impossible either.

But she didn't want to.

It is also those words, even if two people already know it, but if they don't say it, no matter how close they are, there will always be a layer of window paper between them.

Another example is raising a carbuncle with intact epidermis.

Since he finally bare, naked, and naked in front of her expressed the unresolved hatred he had buried in his heart, then she would give him the same response and let him know what he was thinking.

Maybe tonight might not be a good time. But who knows, what kind of timing is the real so-called good timing?

She really wanted to speak up. So she said it.

…

Wei Shao's eyes stayed on her face at first, and stayed there forever, as if he had never known her or seen her face.

Then, as if feeling a headache, Xiao Qiao saw that he closed his eyes, raised his arm, and rubbed his forehead a few times with a stagnant and slow movement.

Then, he sat up suddenly, rolled over and got out of bed, putting on his clothes.

Xiao Qiao knew that his consciousness was fully awake at the moment. Because his eyes are awake.

But his body still seems to have not completely woken up from the hangover and the intense love that he had just moments ago.

He put on his clothes at will, and without taking the belt, he lifted his feet to go out, but his footsteps staggered, and someone bumped into a nearby clothes hanger.

The feet moved on the ground, making a short, harsh rubbing sound.

Xiao Qiao got out of bed in a hurry, chased after him, and supported his arm from behind.

"Where are you going, husband?"

Wei Shao stopped, turned his head slowly, and glanced at her.

She looked at herself with concern in her eyes.

Wei Shao felt more and more upset. Surprised, disappointed, angry, mixed with a trace of shame that she was ruthlessly contradicted but unable to refute, he even had a splitting headache now.

He felt that he could no longer tolerate this daughter of the Qiao family.

A woman really can't treat her too well. He thought vaguely in his mind.

He stared at the hand that Xiao Qiao was holding on to his arm. I think she should let go wisely. Unexpectedly, she has been holding on tightly, just won't let go.

"I know my husband is angry with me. It's just that I'm angry, and it's only four watch. My husband hasn't sobered up, and it's cold outside. My husband, don't go out."

she said, looking up at him.

Wei Shao looked at her coldly for a moment, raised his hand and took her hand away from his arm. In a dumb voice, "you only have your Qiao family in your heart, so why keep me. I'll go to the study so as not to disturb your peace."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room.

Xiao Qiao chased to the door and saw his figure quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor leading to the study.

…

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Wei Shao rewarded the meritorious soldiers in the first battle of Shangdang a year ago, bought wine, and served sergeants.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Wei Shao went out of Yuyang to patrol the border. It was not until after the Lantern Festival that I returned to Yuyang.

Xiao Qiao was also busy these days, and it was only after the Lantern Festival that she gradually became free.

This morning, Xiao Qiao went to Beiwu with Wei Shao, who had only returned to Yuyang yesterday. I had breakfast with Mrs. Xu. After a few words of gossip, Wei Shao suddenly said, "Grandma, I'm going to go to Jinyang in the next few days. Tell grandma first."

Xiao Qiao glanced at him calmly. Seeing that he looked at Madam Xu, his expression was serious.

Mrs. Xu was a little surprised and said, "Didn't you originally say that you would leave until the first lunar month, why are you in such a hurry?"

Wei Shao said: "Jinyang has a lot of important affairs. Zhang Jian and Li Chongfang sent a letter yesterday, urging me to go as soon as possible. Many affairs are pending."

Mrs. Xu thought for a while and said, "You have business affairs, so you should go earlier. How long will it take you to return this time?"

"It's as little as three or two months, as much as half a year, and it's unpredictable."

Mrs. Xu snorted and nodded: "Since the time is not short, you don't have to march to Jinyang to fight. Why don't you let your daughter-in-law go with you, so that there is someone to take care of."

Wei Shao said: "It's better for her to stay at home. My grandmother is old, so she should serve her first. Grandson is fine."

Mrs. Xu glanced at Xiao Qiao, thought for a moment, and said, "It's fine. It's better to let the grandson-in-law stay at home. It's not that my grandmother wants her to serve, but I don't want her to go out so far to go out and suffer with you again. Stay at home! "
