Two people were left in the bathroom.

The candlelight on the candlestick was lit quietly, emitting a warm yellow light, and a thin white mist containing water droplets lingered among the two. Through this slowly floating fog, he stared at Xiao Qiao in the bathtub in a gloomy atmosphere, with a depressing and weird atmosphere.

The water in the bathtub was still hot. Xiao Qiao soaked it in it and suddenly felt cold. Her neck was tightly pressed against her long wet hair, and the chill in the air seemed to penetrate into the skin through her hair. Small goose bumps appeared on the skin outside the water, and even the breasts under the water seemed to sense the chill that was slowly spreading downwards, standing quietly.

She shrank down quietly, letting the water surface pass through both sides of her shoulders. However, as soon as her body moved, the man came over. He stepped a few steps before the bathtub. With a "blowing" sound, his hands were spread on the edge of the bathtub. The water surface was affected by his force and suddenly trembled. He bent down, stared at her eyes, and used a tone that seemed to endure the anger, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "In order to remove you, how much has my soldiers lost under the head of Shiyi City? Do you know? Wei Liang was invincible and almost died! How dare you be so good at this? I am secretly hiding my secret song with Liu Yan of Langya!"

Xiao Qiao's shoulders shook slightly, and his heart immediately jumped wildly.

Sure enough, he still knew about it! But he didn't expect it to be so soon.

He leaned over and forced him down like this, and the distance between the two was suddenly pressed very close. She even clearly felt another cold air coming towards him when he pressed down.

There was still a wet mist on her face, and water droplets were rolling down her eyebrows and falling on her eyelashes. She didn't care about wiping them, so she hurriedly leaned back until her back pressed against the wall of the bucket behind her. Then she stopped and looked up at him and said, "Can I allow me to come out and put on my clothes first, will I explain it to you?"

Wei Shao stared at her eyes for a moment, then his eyes went down her pink cheeks with mist, and swept extremely gently towards her soothing and undulating chest curve outlined by the slightly undulating water surface.

Xiao Qiao Shun looked down at him, quickly shrank under the water again, revealing only a part of his neck.

Seeing this, Wei Shao twisted his lips slightly, revealing a sarcastic expression with obvious malicious intentions. He stopped looking at her. He straightened his body, turned around and brushed his sleeves and left.

"Get her dress!"

His voice sounded outside, almost roaring.

Xiao Qiao held the wall of the bucket with both hands, and stood up from the water with a "slam". The water droplets splashed along her creamy skin. The warm skin suddenly became naked in the air, and immediately had goose bumps. She shivered, and her legs seemed to be a little weak. When she crawled out of the bathtub with her hands and feet and used the ground, Chunniang hurriedly walked in and helped her out.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly wiped her wet hair, and Chunniang helped her wipe her body and put on her clothes.

Her fingers touched Xiao Qiao and could feel as cold as water.

"The female...the male king is very angry... let the maid stay by your side..."

Chunniang lowered her head and tied her clothes for her, her hands were trembling slightly, and it took several times to get it done.

Xiao Qiao shook her head and leaned into her ear: "Don't worry about me. I can handle it. You go."

Chunniang hesitated for a moment and finally touched her ear: "If the maid stays outside the door, she will also pay attention to the movements in the room. If there is any inappropriateness, the maid will come in."

Xiao Qiao lowered her head and checked her clothes. Seeing that there was no abnormality, she closed her eyes and calmed down, let out a long breath, and walked out.

Chunniang followed her out. She looked at Wei Shao with a gloomy face opposite her, bowed, walked out in one step and three times, and gently brought the door with her backhand.

Wei Shao's shoulders moved slightly.

"Husband, you should be able to let me call you husband? I know where your anger is and I hope you can listen to my explanation."

Xiao Qiao opened his mouth before he spoke, walked towards him a few steps, and finally stopped beside a candlestick a few steps away from him, looking into his eyes and speaking with a soft tone. If you pay attention to it, you can even hear some begging.

The distance between the two is just right, several arms are far away. It will neither be too far, nor too distant, nor so close that it will make each other uncomfortable.

Wei Shao seemed to be slightly stunned at first, and his brows frowned immediately, but in the end he didn't say anything, his face still turned ashen.

"I think you should already know that the person who first kidnapped me in Qiujiyi Court that day was indeed not Chen Rui, but the prince of Langya Liu Yan." Xiao Qiao continued.

Wei Shao narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "He follows him all the way, I have a love for you and I have a heart for you, but you two are more in love than Jin."

"You just came in and questioned me, and I guess you misunderstood. I did have a engagement with Prince Liu before, but I haven't met for several years, and I have never had any private communication. At the beginning of the year, my uncle passed by his birthday and he traveled thousands of miles to my house. At that time, I had not met. This matter was true. You can go and verify it. This time he suddenly appeared and kidnapped me, and I had never expected it. I had never made any agreement with him in advance. What I said is true. If there is a word against my will, God will punish me!"

Her tone was neither fast nor slow. After saying that, she looked at Wei Shao opposite him. Wei Shao also stared at her.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment.

His eyes were still a little sinister, but she was very calm and did not dodge at all.

Gradually, his originally hard, almost stiff face lines finally eased.

Xiao Qiao's heart had just relaxed a little, but he said coldly: "I heard that the prince of Langya has been living in the Qiao family in Dongjun because of refuge. You two have been together day and night, love each other, and have had a long engagement, so why did you have to make the ugly situation today? Why do I, Wei Shao, have no wives? As for marrying a woman with distractions into my Wei family? How dare the Qiao family humiliated me so much, why should I treat me?"

"Husband, you misunderstood again." Xiao Qiao looked at him and said.

"I don't deny that I have known Prince Liu for a long time. People are not plants and trees, and after living there for a long time, how can I stay indifferent? Only Prince Liu and Prince Liu have passed. I have told you just now that I have grown older and become increasingly alienated from him. As for the Qiao and Wei families, you and I know very well, which is stronger and weaker, and there is nothing to say about me. My Qiao family wants to use your power to seek good marriage. How come I dare to have so-called humiliation? Since I have followed the words of my parents and decided to marry you, how can I be both determined? I have entered your Wei family with an innocent and dedicated heart. My heart is as bright as the sun and the moon, and it is obvious."

"I gave birth to a wise mouth. It's all mine." Wei Shao's face was still tense, "Since I have a clear conscience, I have saved you from Shiyi for many days. Why have you been hiding it and not telling me the truth?"

"You came to see me on the night you captured Shiyi. At that time, I thought to myself, as long as you ask me about my captive on the way, I will tell you the truth immediately. You didn't mention a word at that time, and told me to be cured. There is no need to rush north for the time being. After that, you left in a hurry. Where did I have the opportunity to speak? You should leave at that time."

Wei Shao snorted, "Where are you writing back? Why haven't you mentioned a word yet?"

"Husband, I will follow you back to Xindu these days, and I stayed in Sheyang all day long and never went out for a long time. You are busy and I have never met you after I came back. It was at this moment that I was able to see you for the first time. I also know that you don't like me. Even if I have the will, how can I get the opportunity and courage to ask you for this kind of thing?"

Wei Shao's expression stuttered slightly.

Xiao Qiao was also silent and lowered her eyes. After a while, her eyelashes trembled slightly, she quietly raised her eyes, looked at him quickly, and hit his gaze.

He was frowning at himself.

"Actually, just a moment ago..."

She glanced at the direction of the door and her voice slightly increased.

"I was talking about this with Chunniang. I really wanted to let you know, but I was afraid that you would not believe it. If I said it myself and aroused your suspicion, I would be unable to argue. I didn't expect that it would be so coincidental, my husband, you came in and questioned me..."

Her voice fell down and gradually faded away. A trace of grievance appeared in her eyes. She gently bit her red lips, slowly lowered her eyes, and stood in front of him with her hands, like a gentle lamb deer.

After a while, Wei Shao's expression was slower, but his eyes remained heavy.

"What you said seriously?"

Xiao Qiaofu slowly raised his eyes and looked at him.

"I know you hate me in your heart, and marry me is not your original intention. Maybe you have never thought of treating me with your wife. But I am different. After leaving my mother's house and stepping into my husband's house, I never thought of having a way back. To be your wife, I should be self-respecting. It's just that some things are not something that I, a weak woman, can be reversed by myself. This accident on the road is not my wish, but what can I do? Although Prince Liu's actions should not be done, they should not forget the old things and still treat me with courtesy. When I fall into the hands of Chen Rui, I am like a wolf. In order to avoid being humiliated, all I can do is to protect myself and delay for a while..."

She paused for a moment, and her tone turned low and sad.

"Who could have sympathized with me at that time when I was desperate and fearful? Fortunately, I finally avoided bad luck when you came in time. But it was indeed my fault to ask you to lose your soldiers like this..."

...

Wei Shao didn't know what it was. He must have known that he was robbed by Liu Yan at first, so he rushed in and attacked. Xiao Qiao was just a vain and wanted to dispel his doubts so that he would not be even more sad in the future. But at the end of the story, he remembered the fear and helplessness when he was in a desperate situation, and the pain of being burned by candles when he was rescued. He saw that he was married and left home that day. His father and brother were reluctant to leave him, his nose felt sore, and his eyes were slightly red.

"You barely married me. If you really don't believe me, now you think I have implicated your soldiers. Just leave me back to Yanzhou!"

She finally raised the volume again and finished speaking with a trembling voice. It was obvious that although she was holding it over and biting her lip hard, her lower lip, which was originally like a petal, had been bitten white, but in the end, a crystal teardrop as big as a bean still burst out from her eyes disobediently and rolled down one side of her cheeks.
