The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 122.2



Chapter 122.2

Half a month has passed.

Xiao Qiao was still in Xindu and had not received a reply from Da Qiao. On this day, Wei Shao went out early in the morning. Xiao Qiao had nothing to do. When she remembered the letter again, she sought out Mr. Jia and asked him.

She asked before, but Mr. Jia only asked her to wait patiently. He gave the same reply today.

General Jia, if there is a letter, please deliver it to me immediately. Xiao Qiao said, suppressing the disappointment in her heart.

Mr. Jia was busy nodding, not daring to look at the Lady. Even to his death, Mr. Jia did not dare to let her know that the letter she had asked him to send before had not even left the gate of the Xin Palace. He was Wei Shaos lieutenant of the Tiger Army. In addition to his duty as a protector, all letters usually went through his hands first. He gave the letter that she wanted to mail to the Marquis first. He was not acting on his initiative but under orders.

On the day the Marquis decided to stay at Xindu for a few more days, he ordered that if she had any letters to send to Lingbi or received from outsiders, he should forward those letters to him first. He also told him not to let her know about it. Mr. Jia did not dare to disobey the rulers order. He didnt tell her that yesterday a messenger came from Lingbi with a letter. The letter was from Bi Zhi to the Marquis.

Naturally, Mr. Jia did not know the letters content. He only saw that after the Marquis received it without raising his eyes, he threw it into the trash basket filled with papers and silk scrolls. Periodically, they would be packed up and burned together.

Mr. Jia did not ask questions at that time. But he knew that Marquis was not going to reply to the letter. Because he had seen the Lady and the couple were close when he sent her to Lingbi, he spoke nicely to the messenger that the Marquis didnt reply to the letter and sent the messenger away.

General Jia, Im sorry to trouble you. Xiao Qiao said again.

Mr. Jia was busy shaking his head, I dont dare. Its my duty.

The Ladys nature was gentle. Although anxiously waiting, she never showed any dissatisfaction or rebuked him. Her beautiful eyes only showed disappointment and urged him to pay more attention. If there was a reply, he should immediately give it to her. To such a gentle lady, Mr. Jia felt more guilty in his heart. He was even afraid to look into her eyes when he spoke to her.

Xiao Qiao didnt notice the difference in Mr. Jias expression, smiled and nodded at him, turned around, and left. Within a few moments, after she returned to the room, Chun Niang came in and said, Lady, guess who came here?

Who? Xiao Qiao was a little confused when she saw her happy face.

Chun Niang didnt sell herself short either. That Mr. Zong from before!

Xiao Qiao was slightly stunned.

I heard a message saying someone was looking for me and was waiting outside the side door. I was suspicious of who would be looking for me here, so I went out to take a look. I didnt expect it would be Mr. Zong! He said he was delivering a letter to you on behalf of your sister.

After saying that, she handed the letter over. Xiao Qiao hastily opened it.

Chun Niang knew Xiao Qiao had been waiting for Da Qiaos reply. Suddenly, Zong Ji delivered the letter himself. She was also delighted.

When Xiao Qiao read the letter, Chun Niang laughed at the side: What did the letter say? Does it say the baby? It should be six or seven months old now

Xiao Qiao was smiling at first, but before she finished reading, her face changed. She read it again from the beginning. Her hands could not control the slight shaking.

Chun Niang noticed her strange behavior. When she saw her face suddenly pale, she asked in panic: What happened? What did the letter say?

Has Mr. Zong left? Xiao Qiao asked, not waiting for Chun Niang to answer, lifted her foot, and went outside.

Her hands and feet were shaking so much that when she raised her foot to step out of the threshold, she tripped over her toes and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Chun Niang held her from behind: What happened exactly? Slowly. Ill help you.

Xiao Qiao closed her eyes, barely stabilizing her mind. Without saying a word, she flew to the side door of the Xin Palace.
