Chapter 18: The Beauty's Tears

They were left in the bathroom.

The candle on the candlestick is burning. Releasing a warm yellow light. There is a thin mist of white in the middle of them. The atmosphere is gloomy and strange as he stares at Xiao Qiao in the bathtub.

The water in the tub was still hot, but Xiao Qiao felt cold when she immersed herself in it. Her neck is stuck to the wet long hair. The coolness in the air seems to penetrate the skin through the hair. Her bare shoulders and chest outside the water surface rise with a small goose bumps. Even the tip of her breasts under the water surface seem to sense the coolness that spreading downward.

She shrank down to make the water surface cover her shoulders. But just as her body moved, the man came over. After a few steps, Peng, he smashed the edge of the tub. The water surface was affected by his force and trembled. He leaned down and looked her in the eyes. With a voice that seemed to hold back his anger, he gritted his teeth and said word by word: Do you know how many of my soldiers were lost at the Shiyi City in order to release you? Even Wei Liang, who was invincible, almost lost his life! How dare you be so bold as to conceal your secret affair with Liu Yan from me!

Xiao Qiaos shoulders shook, and her heart beat wildly.

Sure enough, he still knew about this! Just did not expect that it would be this fast.

The distance between them was extremely close. She even felt another burst of cold air coming towards her as he pressed down.

Her face is still wet with a layer of mist. There are water droplets are rolling down her eyebrows and fell on the eyelashes. Without bothering to wipe, she hurriedly leaned back, until her back against the wall of the tub behind her. She looked up at him and said: Can you allow me to put on my clothes first? I will explain it to you.

Wei Shao stared into her eyes for a moment. His eyes went down along her pink cheeks that were misted with water and swept towards the soothing curve of her chest.

Xiao Qiao followed his line of sight and glanced down. She shrank under the water again, revealing only a section of her neck.

Wei Shao saw this, the corners of his lips twisted, and revealed a mocking-like expression with obvious malice. No longer look at her. He straightened up his body, turned and brushed his sleeves and went away.

Dress her up!

His voice rang out, and it sounded like a roar.

Xiao Qiao held on to the wall of the tub with both hands and stood up from the water with a clatter. Water droplets splashed down along her gelatinous skin. The warm skin was bare in the air and form a layer of goose bumps. She shivered, and her legs seemed to be a little weak. She trembling on her hands and knees to climb out of the tub. Chun Niang came in and helped her out.

Xiao Qiao hastily wiped her wet hair, while Chun Niang helped her wipe her body and put on her clothes.

Her fingers touched Xiao Qiao and could feel the coldness as water.

Lady master is furious It is better to let this servant stay by your side

Chun Niang bowed her head and tied the sash for her. Her hand was trembling. She tried several times before getting it right.

Xiao Qiao shook her head and came to her ear: Dont worry about me. I can handle it. You go ahead.

Wei Shao grunted, And after coming back to Xindu? Why havent you mentioned anything so far?

Husband, during the days when I came back to Xindu, I spent my days in this Sheyang Residence and did not go out even half a step. You were so busy that I never met you after you came back. It is only now that I have been able to see your face for the first time. I know you dont want to see me, and even if I wanted to, how would I have the opportunity and the courage to go to you and initiate such a thing?

Wei Shao looked stunned.

Xiao Qiao was also silent. Dropped her eyes. A moment later, her eyelashes trembled. She raised her eyes, darted a glance at him, and bumped right into his gaze.

He was looking at her with a frown.

Actually, just a few moments ago

She glanced in the doorways direction, and her voice raised.

I was talking to Chun Niang about this matter. I want to let you know. If I said it myself, Im afraid you wouldnt believe. You will be suspicious. I will not be able to explain it. I didnt expect it to be such a coincidence that you came in to question me angrily

Her voice lowered and vanished. Her eyes revealing a trace of grievance. She was biting her red lips and lowering her eyes. Standing in front of him with her hands tied like a gentle lamb.

After a long time, Wei Shaos expression eased again. Only his gaze remained sullen.

What you said, is it true?

Xiao Qiao raised her eyes and looked at him.

I know you hate me in your heart, and marrying me was not your intention, and you probably never wanted to treat me as a wife. But I am different. When I left my familys house and entered my husbands house, I never thought there was a way back. As your wife, I should behave myself. But there are some things that a weak woman like me cant turn around with my own strength. This time, this accident on the road, it is not my wish, but what can I do? Heir Lius action, although he shouldnt do it, but its because he has not forgotten the past, and he still treats me with respect. But when I fall into the hands of Chen Rui, its like a wolf on my side. In order to avoid humiliation, all I can do is protect myself and stall the time.

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

I was so desperate and scared, and nobody can give me any sympathy. Fortunately, you came on time, so I was saved from bad luck. But it was my fault that you lost your soldiers like that

Dont know why Wei Shao acted this way, probably because he knew Liu Yan had kidnapped her at first, and therefore he barged in with anger. Xiao Qiao was just trying to dispel his suspicions, so she wouldnt have a hard time in the future. But in the end, remembering the fear and helplessness of being trapped in a desperate situation. The pain of being burned by candle fire when saving herself, and remembering her father and brothers unwillingness for her when she married and left home, her nose turned sour and she couldnt help but feel redness in her eyes.

You were forced to marry me. If you dont believe me, and now you think Im harming your soldiers, you can just take me back to Yanzhou.

She raised her voice and finished her speech in a trembling voice. It was obvious although she was holding back and biting her lip, her lower lip was pale. And a bean-sized crystal tear came out of her eyes and rolled down one side of her cheek.
