He embraced her, rubbed his chin against her forehead, and asked, “What have you been doing these few days?”

Xiao Qiao said, “Not telling you.”

“Say it. Don’t hide it from me.”

“You won’t like to hear it.”

“Say it!” Full of dominance.

Xiao Qiao hummed, “What else can I do? I can’t help but think about how you treated me when I first came here.”

Wei Shao didn’t say anything.

“You’ve forgotten, haven’t you?”

Xiao Qiao reached out to his eyes with her hand, spread her finger, and began to count.

“When paying respects to me, I saw that you were impatience! Not only was it superficial, you even sneered at me in your heart!”

“You saw it wrong!”

Wei Shao’s voice was calm.Of course, he couldn’t let her know that when he first saw her at the wedding, he thought coldly that the Qiao family thought they could write off their old scores by sending over an okay-looking daughter. The Qiao family was stupid and thought he was as stupid as they were.

“In the bridal chamber, when you were sleeping on the bed, I woke up in the middle of the night and tried to get a quilt to keep me warm, then I accidentally woke you up, and you pulled out your sword and pointed it at me!”

“Didn’t I put the sword away? I even gave up my bed to you.”

Wei Shao’s voice remained calm. He could not tell her he knew she was scared, but she still pretended calm under the tip of his sword. That look of hers, even when he thought about it at this moment, he still felt heartbroken and funny.

“And!”

Xiao Qiao continued to wiggle her fingers: “Early the next morning, you sent me to Yuyang! Husband, you were heartless ……”

Wei Shao didn’t argue for himself this time. He gazed down at her and slowly moved towards her, suddenly kissing her lips that were still talking.

Xiao Qiao whimpered twice and struggled. Gradually, she became soft. The long kiss finally ended and their lips parted.

Xiao Qiao wrapped her arms around the man’s broad and solid back.

“Husband, have you ever regretted marrying me?” She asked him while tilting her head slightly, her beautiful eyes reflecting the starry sky above his head. Wei Shao’s heart and soul seemed lost, unable to move his eyes.

“Man Man, when you marry me, do you have me in your heart?” He asked her in a hoarse voice.

They remained silent, just looking into each other’s eyes.

Wei Shao’s breathing got heavy. Suddenly without saying a word, he laid her down on her back on the jade table. Under the afterglow, he pounced on her like a fierce beast.……

After tidying up their messy clothes, they climbed down the Tantai Terrace.

Xiao Qiao’s legs were a little weak, and Wei Shao circled his arms around her waist all the way back to the Sheyang residence. A servant immediately went up and sent word that Mr. Gongsun was looking for the Marquis, asking the Marquis to meet him after he returned.

Wei Shao’s face showed slight displeasure, but it quickly faded away. He took Xiao Qiao and laid her on the bed, kissed her red cheeks, and told her to sleep first and not to wait for him. After straightening his clothes, he opened the door and went away.

……

Gongsun Yang was waiting in the hall for some time. After learning that Wei Shao had gone with the lady to Tantai Terrace, he left a message and waited patiently. He slowly paced around the hall with hands clasped behind his back, thinking heavily.

Suddenly he heard the sound of footsteps and turned his head to see Wei Shao had entered with great strides. He hurriedly greeted him. Wei Shao went in and took his seat. He said: “Sir, do you wait a long time? It’s late. What do you want from me?”

Gongsun Yang said, “I shouldn’t have disturbed you at this time. But just now, Yang Xin’s messenger arrived and sent news. I thought it would be better to report it to you as soon as possible.”

When Wei Shao heard it was related to Yang Xin, his expression immediately became grave, leaning forward slightly and asking, “What has happened?”

Gongsun Yang presented a battle report.

A month ago, Yang Xin, following Wei Shao’s instructions, stationed his troops in Bengdi. Xue An’s army was in Xiaqiu. One in the north and the other in the south, encircling the head of the stragglers, Bi Zhi.

Bi Zhi was trapped.

Yang Xin thought Bi Zhi was like a turtle in a jar and could not break the trap. However, he did not expect Bi Zhi would imitate the banner of Xue An’s Xuzhou army, move to Bengdi, and finally meet up with Yang Xin.

Yang Xin never dreamed that Bi Zhi would dare to meet him. At first, he misunderstood that it was indeed Xue An’s men, but because he was not sure what purpose Xue An had led his troops to this place, he hesitated, and Bi Zhi took the opportunity to attack him. Yang Xin was defeated in this battle and lost his bannered land.

Now, not only did Bi Zhi have Lingbi, but he also had Bangui in his hands.

Yang Xin was in an unfavorable situation. He could not decide what to do next, so he sent a messenger to tell him. Wei Shao scanned the report with a single glance. His face suddenly became gloomy. He threw it on the ground with a ‘pop’ and said furiously: “Yang Xin is incompetent to this extent! A mere head of the stragglers, he can’t even handle it!”
