The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 84.1

Xiao Qiao had spent three days at home in the East County.

This short three days is actually the most comfortable moment she has had in the past few years. It was as if she finally saw a real hope for the future that she could grasp in her hands.

What could be more uplifting than having hope for the future?

Mrs. Ding treated her with love and affection, and her brother accompanied her in the morning and evening. Both of them listened to their fathers story of the days work and looked forward to the future.

On this day, Xiao Qiao also received a letter from Bi Zhi, saying that he had arrived in Su City and was waiting for her arrival.

Before leaving Yuyang, Xiao Qiao met with Zong Ji again, in addition to thanking him, she also asked him to bring the news that she would be leaving for East County to Bi Zhi, and if she had the chance, she hoped to meet him then.

She had already arrived in the East County, and Zong Ji should be faster than her.

According to estimation, Bi Zhi had received the letter by now.

But Xiao Qiao didnt expect that he had already arrived at Su City and was waiting for her.

Su City was less than two hundred miles away from East County, a small city in Yanzhou.

The letter was written by Da Qiao, saying that she had learned from Zong Ji that she was going south, and that both of them were very happy and looking forward to meeting her. Originally, she wanted to come by herself, so that Xiao Qiao would not have to travel all over again, but because of her pregnancy, Bi Zhi would not let her out. He went to Su City, picked up Xiao Qiao, and sent her to Lingbi to meet her.

Xiao Qiao felt happy when she saw the letter.

In fact, Xiao Qiao knew that she was grateful for Mrs. Xus kindness to her when she was able to return home this time. Now that things in the East County are going in the direction she wants them to go, the rest is up to her father and his family. Besides, no matter what, everything must be done step by step, and it cannot be done overnight in the short term, so there is no point in staying. Therefore, Xiao Qiao was thinking that she should return to the north after meeting with Bi Zhi Da Qiao again.

On the evening of the day she received the letter, Xiao Qiao waited until her father returned, and when they met in the study as they had done a few nights before, she said she planned to leave tomorrow.

His daughter had only been home for a few days, and now she was leaving, and Qiao Ping felt sad about it. He did not say anything for a while.

Xiao Qiaos heart felt reluctant, but she still smiled and said, Father, it is also because of my grandmothers generosity that I was able to go south to return home this time. Father also knows that when I went south, my grandmother had not long recovered from her illness and my husband was away on an expedition. Since I have visited my aunt and my fathers affairs here have started smoothly, I should also go back as soon as possible. I really cant leave my father and my brother, but if I go back too late, Im afraid Ill disappoint my grandmother.

Qiao Pings heart understands. How can a daughter who has married out stay with her as long as before? He nodded and said, I understand. Tomorrow I will send you to the north.

Qiao Ci suddenly coughed.

Xiao Qiao looked at her brother and saw him twisting his eyebrows at her, remembering the matter they had discussed during the day. The decision was finally made. So he returned his wink.

Qiao Ci immediately stepped forward and said, Father, do you still remember the nameless man who saved my life in front of the battlefield that day, when he turned Xue Tai away from Juye City?

Qiao Ping had a deep impression of the scene that day and could not possibly forget it. Suddenly hearing his son mention it, he said heartily, Naturally. This person not only saved your life under Cao Xu Zhang Biao, two Xue Tai generals, but also in the chaotic battle between the two armies, he went in and out as if no one was there, unstoppable. Afterwards, he disappeared. My father sent people everywhere to look for him, but unfortunately no longer whereabouts. I still think about it and regret it.

Xiao Qiao said, Father, do you remember the green-eyed Bi Zhi that used to be in the family?

Qiao Ping looked at Xiao Qiao: The horse slave who abducted your cousin?

Xiao Qiao said, Father, dont call him that anymore. He is the nameless man who saved my brother that day.

Qiao Ping looked at his daughter and then at his son.

Qiao Ci said, What my sister said is true. When that man sent me back to my fathers front, I recognized him on the spot because I had seen him traveling with Aunt in the past. But I was not sure. After Xue Tai retreated, I kept an eye on him, and when I saw him leave alone, I chased after him. He did not want to pay attention to me at first, but he could not resist my pursuit, and finally stopped and said a few words to me. He said he was married to Sister. I was convinced it was him!

Qiao Ping was amazed and looked back at Xiao Qiao slowly: Man Man You tell me honestly, did you hide something from me that day?

Xiao Qiao saw that her father seemed to have guessed it, and no longer hid it, so she said: Im not hiding it from you, father. Sister and Bi Zhi had mutual feelings for each other at first, but due to their status, they kept to the rules of etiquette. I was aware of it. Although they were not on equal status, it seemed to me that they were a match made in heaven. It was only because of my persuasion that my sister left home with Bi Zhi.

Qiao Ping was stunned and his heart ached, Is that how you married yourself into the Wei family instead of your sister?

Xiao Qiao saw that her father seemed to be on the verge of losing his breath, so she hurriedly went up and made a fist and lightly pounded him on the back: Father, dont be angry. Originally, I thought that uncle would listen to fathers plan since he had lost sister and could not negotiate a marriage. But I didnt expect uncle to ask me to marry instead. Since the matter started because of me, I can only marry there

Qiao Ping remembered the incident of that day, wanted to reprimand Xiao Qiao, but saw her open a pair of black and white eyes looking at himself, a face begging for mercy, a soft heart, the words came out into a sigh: You are too reckless, how dare you hide it from me

He sighed again and shook his head.
