Xiao Qiao turned her head and did not look at his face: "I don't want to reply. So I won't reply!"

Wei Shao gasped and hissed, raised his head and pinched her chin, brought her face back, and forced her to look at him.

After looking at her for a moment, she suddenly opened her eyebrows again, and her expression showed slight pride: "Do you don't believe what I said in my heart and think I still have something to do with Su? Are you angry?"

Xiao Qiao frowned slightly, and with a "bang", he patted the hand that was holding his chin, got up from him, climbed up the wall of the bucket and crawled out, grabbed a big dry scarf hanging around and wrapped it in his body to go out, and heard a rush behind him, Wei Shao turned over from the water, hugged her from behind, and said, "Actually, I have already seen her just now."

Xiao Qiao was stunned and slowly turned her head.

His dark eyes looked over, and there was a hint of cramped smile in his eyes.

Xiao Qiao suddenly struggled and beat his arm: "You were the first to see her when you came back. What are you still saying in front of me?"

Wei Shao laughed loudly, and took her out of the bathroom with a horizontal stroke, and sent her to the bed with a ivory mat, holding her hands that were pinched into fists.

"I went to see her, not as you think. The old love is hard to break. Don't say that I had nothing to do with her before, even if I had it, it would have passed long ago. I just want to send her away tomorrow."

Xiao Qiao stopped struggling and looked at him with wide eyes.

"Really?" A sentence popped out of her mouth.

Wei Shao liked her stupid little look and pinched her nose: "Really. It's just--"

He hesitated and said, "But she said that the disease has not yet recovered. I can't leave for a while. Manman, I won't hide it from you. In the past, she often went in and out of my house before she got married. For a while, she took care of me for a long time. I was still in love with me. Now that she said this, no matter whether it is true or false, I can't force her to send her away..."

A hint of embarrassment appeared in his expression.

Xiao Qiao looked at him for a moment.

It is obvious that the vague mention of "I took care of him for a while" should mean what happened when he was twelve years old.

To be honest, the first thing he did when he came back was to be afraid that he would mind and wanted to send Su Ehuang away, which surprised Xiao Qiao.

"Forget it, I understand! I didn't ask you to drive her away immediately!" she said generously.

Wei Shao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and gently pinched her cheek, "Aren't you angry?"

Xiao Qiao wrinkled her nose: "When did I get angry?"

Wei Shao sneered and laughed at her: "I'm not angry yet! Chunniang felt sorry for me. Not only did you feel sorry for me, you were cruel and deliberately refused to reply to my letter!"

Xiao Qiao was stunned and then came back to her senses and opened her eyes wide: "Have you eavesdropped outside?"

Wei Shao snorted and said seriously: "Nonsense! I need to eavesdrop on it?"

Xiao Qiao clenched his fists and hit his shoulders again. He was caught by Wei Shao, and nailed it firmly on top of his head. He turned over and pressed on her, murmured: "Chunniang told you to win me over, and I'll answer you too. What are you going to do, huh?"

Xiao Qiao's cheeks were flushed, and when she closed her eyes and shook her head, she was kissed deeply by Wei Shao.

...

Wei Shao hadn't touched a woman for several months, and returned to victory, arousing anger like before the volcano lifted the top of the volcano. The time in the bathroom just now was just a lead, and I wouldn't let her go easily after pressing her to bed. It was until late at night, and Xiao Qiao was exhausted by him. In the end, she couldn't help but hum and cried again. Wei Shao's favorite seemed to be like her. He couldn't control her excitement, so Fang Zhi stopped.

Xiao Qiao is very tired, but she still can't sleep.

There was a thought in my mind that was circling repeatedly. At this moment, I became quiet and felt like I was in my throat. I never wanted to say it like this moment.

She quietly opened her eyes and looked at Wei Shao beside her.

He closed his eyes and was about to be asleep. But he seemed to sense that she was secretly looking at him. Before he opened his eyes, the corners of his lips were slightly raised. He touched her and said vaguely: "Didn't you cry and ask me to let you go. Why don't you sleep?"

Xiao Qiao mustered up the courage and said, "Husband, can I ask, what is the mahogany box in the house with the Nine Palace Lock?"

Wei Shao's hand was originally stroking her warm and soft skin, but suddenly stopped, slowly opened his eyes and met Xiao Qiao's eyes.

At first, there seemed to be a trace of love that had been left for a moment before. His eyes looked a little confused. After staring at her for a moment, the trace of love seemed to slowly disappear and became clear.

"Didn't you say you're tired? Ask what you do. Go to bed!"

He hugged Xiao Qiao, closed his eyes again, and spoke in a perfunctory tone.

Xiao Qiao stared at his face.

"If you don't say it, then I'll guess it myself." She whispered.

"I had always thought that the box contained a token related to Su's family. But later, I gradually felt that it was not like it. At this moment, I was even more sure that what was hidden in the box should not be an object related to Su's family. Since it had nothing to do with Su's family, I accidentally moved before, and it made my husband angry. After thinking about it, maybe it should be..."

She stopped.

Wei Shao slowly opened his eyes again and looked at her: "It was some relics left by my father back then. I said it was for you, so it's time to go to bed?"

His tone was a little cold.

The box was always placed in a conspicuous position in order to remind himself at all times not to forget the deaths of his father and brother back then. Only when he was strong could he kill people, not to be killed. After leaving the Nine Palace Lock, Wei Shao put away the box.

He was in a good mood tonight.

The plan to conquer Xibi achieved the goal early. He was one step closer to his ambition to compete for the world.

The news that Su, who had troubled him for a while, came to Jinyang was easily solved because of Xiao Qiao's understanding.

The woman he was happy with was getting more and more harmonious with him. The happy love that had just ended made him feel extremely satisfied physically and mentally.

Everything pleased him.

But OK, she suddenly mentioned the box that he was still unwilling to talk to her more. This made Wei Shao feel a little disappointed and he was a little alert.

He had a feeling that she seemed to take this opportunity to make some request to herself that he actually didn't want to touch.

He stared at her, his eyes showing a hint of undetectable unhappiness.

...

As she guessed, she had misunderstood before.

It was not because of Su Ehuang, but in that box, which contained the most painful memory of his youth, that he had such a big reaction to his own touch.

Seeing him staring at him, Xiao Qiao seemed to be a little alert in his expression. He slowly let out a breath, raised his fingers, gently stroked the painting along his eyebrows, and said, "I feel at ease in this way. I will not hide it from my husband. I used to think that the box was the object of Su Nu that my husband kept. My husband didn't allow me to touch it. I was moved by accident, and my husband was furious at me, and I felt a little sad. It turned out that I had misunderstood. Since it was my father-in-law's belonging, no matter how much my husband scolded me, I should bear it."

She leaned slowly towards him, kissed his lips and printed a mark on his lips, and said softly with his forehead, "I don't know anything about it. Actually, I envy Su very much, accompanying my husband's difficult time when he was young. My grandfather broke the covenant and the husband's father and brother died in battle. When my husband himself was seriously injured, I was only three or four years old. But a ignorant child, how could he understand the skin-skin pain that his husband suffered at that time? Fortunately, God is favored by him, and now he has become my pillow. If you can help your husband relieve the pain in his heart, Manman is willing to do anything."

The invisible layer of alert armor that had already been erected all over Wei Shao slowly faded away inch by Xiao Qiao's murmurs. His heart softened again. He hugged her and asked for her kiss. His breathing gradually became rapid again, and he occupied her body again.

...

The next day, Wei Shao and Xiao Qiao slept until very late before getting up. They stayed in the room for a day, and never left. They heard that Xiao Qiao had almost never left the gate of the government office for half a year. They often copied scriptures in the back house for half a day. They had copied several scriptures so far. Wei Shao felt very distressed. The next day, he took her out and went on a horse to the western suburbs of Jinyang. He came back in the evening. The disciples said that during the day, Mrs. Zuo Fengyi had sent someone to the door and asked Junhou to go to the postmaster, saying that there was something serious about each other. He was told that Junhou and his wife were out, but the man left. He left before leaving, saying that the wife had important things, so he must ask Junhou to know and go there.

Wei Shao didn't say much at that time, and brought Xiao Qiao into it.

Xiao Qiao glanced at him and said, "Will your husband go?"

Wei Shao hesitated for a moment and looked at her.

Xiao Qiao sighed inwardly, but she smiled. When she raised her hand to take it back, she gently tapped the bridge of his nose and said, "What's the difficulty? Since there is something, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask her to come here to talk? Why do you have to go to the inn?"

Wei Shao's eyes lit up slightly, he smiled, hugged her and said, "Manman is the most affectionate to my heart." He immediately asked someone to go to the post house to pass the message and asked Su Ehuang to come to the yamen office to speak.

"Aunt, go or not?"

Su Xin looked at Su Ehuang and waited for her answer.

Su Ehuang's face was a little ugly at first, but gradually, he returned to his original expression. He was ecstatic for a moment and said, "Why not go?"

...

The next day, Wei Shao was dressed neatly and saw Su Ehuang who was introduced by his servants in a tent in the front hall of the yamen office.

Su Ehuang changed the lazy and sickness of his uneven temples a few days ago. Today, he dressed neatly and exquisitely. Although there seemed to be a little sad between his eyebrows, his spirit looked much better than before.
