The Marquis Is Innocent
Chapter 129.1

After the banquet, Wei Shao saw that Wei Quan seemed to have something to say. He hurriedly waved his hand while saying he was going to the restroom and left.

Wei Quan chased Wei Shao outside the western mansion, admonishing him: “My Lord is planning to settle the world. It is right to gather great and powerful people. Guo Quan took the initiative to send his daughter to befriend you and seek stability. Lord should have accepted her. Why do you refuse? I saw Guo Xing’s confused expression. He must be upset. He was reluctantly calm only after I comforted him with some words. I ask My Lord to think twice!”

Wei Shao said: “I had already refused. You ask me to ask for it back again? No need to talk about it anymore. I drank too much wine. I need to go to the restroom urgently.”

After saying that, he entered the restroom quickly.

Wei Quan’s personality was straight, without considering other people’s feelings. He needed to say the things he thought should happen before giving up. Once, to persuade Wei Shao to accept his advice, he chased him for three days. Wei Shao finally had no choice but to agree.

Wei Shao knew that he had behaved unexpectedly by refusing Guo’s daughter. So as soon as he saw Wei Quan coming towards him after the banquet, he immediately went to the restroom.

Unexpectedly, he still came up.

Wei Shao held his breath inside and dawdled for a long time until he could not hear any movement outside and thought Wei Quan had left before coming out. However, he was still guarding the door. He turned around to go inside again, but Wei Quan blocked the way.

“My Lord! Every Lord has one wife and eight concubines! Now that you have only one wife, it is only right to have a few more concubines. You should take them!”

As if he had not heard, Wei Shao lifted his feet to leave, but Wei Quan tugged his sleeve from behind.

Annoyed, Wei Shao turned around and said, “If I take the daughter given by Guo Quan today, what if another one comes tomorrow? Do you want me to accept them again? Where do I get the infinite sperm from? No more words!”

Wei Quan was stunned. Quickly argued: “Lord misinterpreted my meaning. My original intention is to show goodwill to the Guo family. If you do not accept, Guo Quan may be suspicious, which is not conducive to strengthening relations.”

Wei Shao threw away his sleeve and was furious, “How can I rely on a woman’s skirt to conquer the world?” He said and took a big step forward.

Wei Quan felt that Marquis’ words seemed reasonable but conflicted with common sense. When he looked up, he saw Gongsun Yang coming from the other side. He hurriedly went after him and greeted: “Military Advisor! You came just in time!”

Gongsun Yang came here after drinking some wine and was also in urgent need. As soon as he saw the figure of Marquis and Wei Quan outside the restroom from afar, he immediately stopped and turned around to leave. But Wei Quan had already seen him. Hearing him call himself from behind, Gongsun Yang had to stop and walk over, smiling.

Wei Quan then repeated his own words just now.

“Does the military advisor think that what I said is reasonable? Should the Lord accept or not?”

Gongsun Yang glanced at Marquis, whose face was as gloomy as a fog, and coughed: “Cough …… cough …… this matter should be the Lord’s thoughts …… Lord should have his own opinions …… ”

Wei Quan had thought that Gongsun Yang would persuade the Marquis. He didn’t expect him to cough for a long time and say such a sentence.

He repeated: “Why the military advisor does not persuade Marquis? I am not forcing the Lord to accept beauty. I also know that the Lord is not lustful. But at the banquet today, the Lord’s actions were inappropriate. Therefore, I decided to make a bold statement. Why is My Lord not to accept them? I do not understand ……”

“I’m scared of my wife, okay?” Wei Shao said, angrily lifting his feet and going away.

Wei Quan was stunned and frozen, his mouth open, staring dumbly at the back of Marquis until he disappeared. Then, he slowly turned to Gongsun Yang.

Gongsun Yang waved his hand: “Wei Quan, don’t ask me. I know no more than you. I’m going to the restroom.”

……

Wei Shao returned to his room in the middle of the night. It was already late, but it was not too late to return at this hour because of the banquet.

Since Xiao Qiao returned from the post house, she felt weak during the day. After the banquet, there was no more work for her, so she laid down. Although she was lying down, she could not sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, her mind would have a recurrence of that thunderstorm night. Wei Shao was like a falling chicken that appeared in front of her.

That night, she had tides in her heart, unspeakable fluctuations. When she married into the Wei family, her only mission was to resolve the hatred between the Qiao and Wei families from the previous generation.

Xiao Qiao felt urgent to conclude it because she knew what the hateful founding emperor of the Great Yan, Wei Shao, had done to the Qiao family in her previous life.

Two years have passed. Xiao Qiao married at fourteen, and now she was sixteen. In these two years, she started out trembling for fear of taking the wrong step and saying the wrong word. Finally, she became somewhat integrated into the Wei family and gained her husband’s favor. Now, she can even take advantage of his favor and throw a little temper tantrum. But she never dared to think she could get a guarantee from Wei Shao that he would not touch the Qiao family.

She knew very well how deep Wei Shao’s obsession to avenge his father and brother’s death was. He was also a man who was so arrogant and cold to the point of cruelty, this Xiao Qiao knew it by heart. Therefore, at that moment, when he suddenly said something like that while staring at her with his bloodshot eyes, she was unprepared and shocked. Strangely enough, she was not as relieved as she should have been. Instead of relief, she wanted to shed tears for him and herself. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ɴøvᴇl_Firᴇ.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.
