Chapter 66:

Xiao Qiao was startled.

Wei Shao suddenly bent down, raised his hand to support his waist and abdomen, frowned slightly, and showed a painful face.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly went up a hand to hold him and was about to call someone in, but Wei Shao held back her wrist.

Dont let anyone know! Wei Shao said, If word gets out to my grandmother and mother, it will only add to their worries. Besides, Im not seriously hurt, just a few flesh wounds. You can help me with this.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

Xiao Qiao exchanged a glance with him. Her eyes then fell on his swollen forehead, the corner of his broken lip, and the back of his blood-stained hand. She slowly let out a breath.

Besides the injuries, mud and grass covered his clothes. He looked as if he had just rolled on the ground.

Xiao Qiao sent him into the bathroom to wash and let him sit on the couch. Blood slowly seeped out of his forehead. She took a clean handkerchief and raised her hand to dab it gently.

Wei Shao faintly hissed, frowned, and bared his teeth, seeming to be in a lot of pain.

Xiao Qiaos hand stopped: I am clumsy, afraid to hurt you. I will let Chun Niang come in

Wei Shao shook his head: I can bear it.

The back of his right hand cracked with deep cuts, seemingly scraped by stones, and after washing the wound, it looked shocking.

Xiao Qiao carefully helped him apply for medicine and wrapped it with a bandage.

Does it hurt? She asked him.

Wei Shao sat quietly. He looked at her and shook his head. Suddenly, he raised his uninjured left hand and gently wrapped it around her waist.

Xiao Qiao glanced at him but did not stop. She took a jade stick, picked out some swelling and bleeding medicine, and gently wiped it on his forehead and the corner of his lips where he was injured, rubbing it gently.

His palm pressed against her waist, through the clothing, rubbed a few times, slightly tightened his arm, and Xiao Qiao fell to sit on his lap.

Your neck cracked a gash too, not yet wiped

Xiao Qiao struggled slightly and tried to stand up.

Do not move.

Wei Shao said.

Xiao Qiao stopped moving.

Wei Shao took the jade stick from her hand. His face came towards her, and one cheek rubbed gently against her soft face.

She had just finished bathing before he returned. Her whole body still carries a fresh and sweet fragrance.

Wei Shao closed his eyes and took a deep breath of the fragrance from her hair and neck.

He sniffed for a while, lowered his head, and began to kiss her gently.

Xiao Qiao didnt refuse, leaned on his chest, and rested her head on his shoulder, letting him kiss her.

After a while, she asked: What happened in the past two days? You should at least tell me, right?

Wei Shao lowered his head to kiss her neck when he suddenly heard her ask a question. He paused.

I already solved it. It is fine.

He said vaguely and continued kissing her. His hand gradually moved upward and finally covered her breasts, which had bulged more than when she had first married over.

Xiao Qiao took his hand away and stood up. She said, You must be tired after a busy day, drinking and fighting with people, so go to bed early yourself.

A hand reached over from behind and grabbed her arm.

Xiao Qiao turned around. She saw him tilting his face slightly, looking at her.

They looked at each other for a moment.

With a gentle tug from Wei Shao, Xiao Qiao sat back on his lap again.

This time, he wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. He wrapped his arms around her completely so that her back pressed against his chest.

But he didnt say a word.

Xiao Qiao struggled a few times but could not break free of his arms.

You dont want to mention it, and I wont force it. But when you treated me like that, I was afraid and sad. I am still sad right now. Its as if in your eyes, it was all my fault.

Suddenly, a voice from a servant came from outside the door.

Xiao Qiao was startled. Her hand stopped on Wei Shaos belly.

Wei Shao paused and slowly opened his eyes. His expression showed displeasure.

Xiao Qiao glanced at him.

She came to the Wei family in Yuyang for over half a year. In the past, when something happened, Mrs. Zhu always sent someone to summon her or Wei Shao to come over.

It was the first time Mrs. Zhu personally came to the West House.

Not sure whats going on.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly climbed down from his lap and tugged at her dress. She saw Wei Shao only wearing middle clothes, and the lapel got open just now. She hurriedly helped him to tidy up and quickly took the outer clothes.

Wei Shao lazily got up, let Xiao Qiao serve him, and put on the outer clothes.

Xiao Qiao helped him straighten his lapel. He raised his hand and touched her hanging hair. A rush of footsteps came from outside the door, and then Mrs. Zhus voice was heard: Shaoer, come out. Her voice sounded with anxiety and worry.

Wei Shao turned around and went to open the door.

Mrs. Zhu stood at the door, looked at Wei Shao through the light, and immediately exclaimed, Its true! Who beat you up like that?

Wei Shao said, I drank too much wine, and when I returned to ride my horse, I accidentally fell

Nonsense! Mrs. Zhu was enraged, Do you think I am blind? Is this from the fall? I heard a servant in the house say she saw you coming back with bruises, and I didnt believe her. I didnt think it was true! Who dared to beat you up like this?

Mrs. Zhus eyes immediately shot at Xiao Qiao inside.

Xiao Qiao panicked.

He did not say, so you do not ask? Why wont you go to my place and tell me? Mrs. Zhu scolded.

Xiao Qiao remained silent.

Wei Shao looked sullen: Mother, dont be unreasonable! Its just a flesh wound. Why make such a fuss? Id better send mother back to the room and get an early rest.

Wei Shao stepped out of the room and urged Mrs. Zhu to go back to her room. Mrs. Zhu saw her son was already striding outside. She had no choice but to follow him.

Wei Shao walked Mrs. Zhu to the door of the east house and said, Mother, go inside and rest. Im a bit tired today, so Ill go to bed early too. After saying that, he turned around.

Mrs. Zhu looked at her sons fading back, remembering the scene reverberating in her mind during the day. Her anxiety for her son finally overwhelmed the pressure Mrs. Xu had brought her for the past twenty years. She couldnt hold back and went out to call Wei Shao.

Wei Shao had no choice but to stop again and turn back, What are Mothers orders?

Mrs. Zhu looked around, saw no one was there, and lowered her voice: Shaoer, I have something I have been hiding in my heart for many years, and I didnt want to say it at first. But now, I see that the person is getting different. I thought it would be better to say it to you quietly so you can have an idea in your mind and made a precaution early. Otherwise, if something happens later, it will be too late to regret!

Wei Shao sighed: What else does Mother want to say?

That cousin of yours, hes different from us. Hes not a Han! He is a Xiongnu child!

Mrs. Zhu gritted her teeth and said word by word.

Wei Shao stunned, trying desperately to suppress displeasure in his heart, said coldly, Why does Mother speak like this?

Mrs. Zhu sneered: Do you think his father is really a son-in-law who has joined our Wei family? Listen carefully, its all just a bullshit story made up by your good grandmother! I know what happened back then very well. Your aunt was taken away by the Xiongnus King Rizhu when she was in the border city. When your father got her back three years later, she already had the Xiongnus seed in her belly! She was five months pregnant, and I tried to persuade her not to keep it. But she didnt listen. She was determined to give birth. The one born is your good cousin! Your aunt died after she gave birth to him!

Ms. Zhus face showed her disgust: I knew it. This bastard was a sin from the moment he was born. I said since his mother was gone, he should be returned to the Xiongnu to be raised. Your grandmother wanted to stay and raise him herself. She kept him for so many years. And she kept it a secret, even from you! Shaoer, Mother is doing this for your own good. Its not that I refuse him. Your cousin, who is not a Han, will sooner or later have a different heart! If you dont realize it and dont take precautions, you will be in trouble! Why is he so eager to get on the stage and compete in the limelight today? He wants to overpower you and take your throne in the future! Shaoer, think about it, our Wei family, from the grandfather, several generations to guard the Youzhou, and are at odds with Xiongnu people, but our family has raised a Xiongnu child, if this spreads

As Mrs. Zhu narrated, Wei Shaos face became stiff, left Mrs. Zhu behind, turned his head, and stridden away.

Mrs. Zhu froze and hurriedly chased after him: My son! This matter your grandmother forbade me to say out, you must not mention in front of her that I have informed you

Before her words fell, Wei Shaos back had disappeared into the night.

Mrs. Zhu slowly stopped, standing alone in the dark corridor, lost in thought for a moment.

She finally said the secret buried in her heart to her son tonight.

Mrs. Zhus mood at the moment was indescribably relaxed as if she had given birth to a strange fetus conceived thirty years. However, after the relief, she was a bit afraid.

She was afraid Mrs. Xu would find out.

But soon, that motherly nature overcame the fear again.

I did it all for my son. As long as he is fine, what can I not give up?

In her heart, Mrs. Zhu said to herself.
