Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 34

[Chapter 34 Replaced]

The incident at home made Wei Shao feel a little headache.

The reason for the headache was because of his mother, even if she did something like last night, he still couldn’t get down to deal with it with the kind of killing determination he was used to.

In this world, if he had to say that he could not treat women with a hard heart, there would not be more than three.

Grandmother is certainly one.

His mother Chu was one.

And also……

It’s gone.

Wei Shao immediately expelled the old face in his mind.

Soon, he didn’t have much time or energy to think about the affairs at home.

The border city had not been attacked in several years by a large battle from the Huns like Shanggu’s.

A few years ago, Shan Yu suffered several major defeats in succession. On the last occasion, he led his cavalry to drive the Xiongnu into the thousands of miles, and the Western Wangting, one of the four-horned royal courts, was broken and was once forced to relocate. The Huns never invaded the south as frequently as before, and the border of Youzhou was quiet.

Judging from the news that the spies have returned one after another before, shan Yu Yi mo has become the biggest contradiction in the xiongnu court because of his gradual decline in health. Tuqi Prince Zuoxian Wang Uvi was the son of Izanmo and the successor to the throne of Shan Yu, but this prince was not very popular with the Huns, but his uncle Uju Qu, the king of Rizhao, was even more popular. In the royal court, among the noble councils, the king of the left and right Gu Li, the left and right lieutenants, and the left and right big households, many of them gradually began to support the Japanese king either explicitly or implicitly, which caused the vigilance and dissatisfaction of the Zuo Xian king, and the struggle with his uncle became increasingly fierce.

Wei Shao already knew that the Xiongnu cavalry that attacked Shanggu came from Wuwei, the King of Zuoxian.

Choosing to raid Shanggu at the time of Lady Xu’s birthday, Uwei wanted to use this means to establish prestige among the clan and provoke Wuzhu Qu, and at the same time, to take revenge on himself for the defense of the royal court that had been defeated by his own men many years ago.

It was also because of that defeat that Uvi’s prestige was greatly damaged, and the japanese king’s power began to rise slowly.

This lesson from Shanggu made Wei Shao alert again.

In recent years, because there was nothing going on on the border, he had devoted most of his energy to the war to unify the North.

Although it is important to unify the north, it is the basis for the wei family to defend the border and resist the Xiongnu.

His grandfather and father had done things all their lives, and they could not be broken in their own hands, even if they had to postpone it, or even interrupt their goal of winning the Central Plains indefinitely, he had no choice.

As soon as Wei Shao went out in the morning, he immediately got busy. From east to west, more than ten important border cities such as Liucheng, Baitan, Baideng, Mayi, and Sanggan were sent to Duya. He and his generals discussed strengthening their guards, arranging defenses, dispatching troops, and after the completion of the case, he went out of the city to tour the camp, ending the day’s work, and it was night when he returned to the city.

Not only into the night, but also late.

In fact, he could have finished the matter earlier and then returned earlier.

But he personally toured all the walled camps outside the city, until he came out of the last farthest and smallest village camp, and then he returned according to the moon.

By this time it was already too late.

Li Dian, Zhang Jian, and others who accompanied him all thought that the prince was so personally involved in the matter of going up the valley a few days ago. They could have done it all.

Wei Shao was really for the sake of going up the valley.

But only he knew in his heart, in fact, it was because of her at home.

When he was busy during the day, he didn’t have time to think about last night. Now that he was going back, he slowly began to feel uncomfortable. Some didn’t know how to face her again.

Remembering what he had done to her last night… Thinking of her being bullied by herself, her back sweating and panting… Remembering her complaint about why he wouldn’t release it quickly, because she had already had the tone of voice with a little cry when her hand hurt and her arm was sore…

Wei Shaoren was still riding on his horse, and his lower abdomen suddenly became hot, just like the feeling of eating the Queen Mother Immortal Medicine that his mother fed him last night.

So he didn’t want to meet her so soon.

What happened to her last night was too sudden.

It doesn’t hurt either. She was his wife, he needed relief, and she was right on the side. He was extremely excited to stop and treat her like that, but he didn’t even understand what was going on in his head at that moment, let alone the process of repeating it again and again.

I don’t know how I put up with it and didn’t ask for him.

That’s all. What really made him feel awkward was that he had reached the level of investment later, which was completely beyond his imagination.

He was caught off guard. I wasn’t sure what kind of attitude he should have to face her in the future—a Joe’s daughter whom he had originally married purely as a decoration.

……

Wei Shao finally entered the Wei mansion.

It’s almost time. Except for the underlings of the vigil and the lanterns that fluttered in the night wind, the entire Wei Mansion had completely merged with the night.

Wei Shao walked into the West House, crossed the courtyard, and saw in the distance that the doors and windows of the room in the middle at the end of the opposite yongdao were overflowing with dim lights.

His pace, which had not been fast at first, was even slower at the moment. But in the end, finally walked to the bottom of the steps of the corridor, a sleepy servant woman who was leaning on the pillar waiting for the door to close heard the footsteps, turned her face to see him return, her spirit was lifted, and she hurriedly opened her eyelids and stood up straight and was about to call him, but was stopped by Wei Shao’s action.

Wei Shao stepped up the steps, came to the threshold, stopped, raised his hand and slowly pushed open the hidden door, and then stepped inside.

Men and women, yin and yang, and husband and wife.

He thought.

……

The night was late though. At this moment, Little Qiao could no longer wait like before, and finally did not have the heart and lungs to doze off on his own.

In fact, she wished she could sleep, and then she wouldn’t have to face Wei Shao’s face anymore.

In order to find something for herself to do, she finally began to copy books again. A copy is half an hour. The originally vain mood finally calmed down slowly.

But the movement he made when he opened the door and came in, although it was not large, still interrupted her thoughts that had gradually calmed down.

She finished the word she was writing, put the pen back on the pen holder, then stood up and turned around.

Wei Shao had already entered, and the figure dangled by the screen for a moment, and then appeared in front of her.

As soon as she saw it, she was immediately relieved.

He looked no different from usual.

No, it should be said that it is more indifferent than usual. Usually he would come in and at least take a look at her.

Tonight she’s a big living person standingIn front of him, he didn’t even glance at her out of the corner of his eye, and walked straight towards the bathhouse—the pace was so fast that she didn’t even have the opportunity to greet her as usual and say something like “Husband is back.”

Little Joe looked at his back, and the troubles that had troubled her all day about how to face him after intimate contact with him in bed were immediately solved.

It seemed that in his opinion, it was not a problem at all.

That’s the best way to do it.

Little Joe exhaled, turned around and let the servant woman who had already heard the sound outside the door come in and wait for the bath.

……

Wei Shao changed his clothes and came out of the bath room, and finally raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Qiao.

Tonight he looked at her for the first time.

He found that she was exactly the same as usual, so he looked at himself like that, and when he saw himself coming out, a smile appeared on his face, and he greeted himself and asked himself: “Husband, can you have some supper?” He had

thought that after last night’s closeness, she would stick to herself or show a shy look in front of him.

But she didn’t… It looks no different from usual, still so “virtuous”.

It’s like… She had forgotten how she had served herself in bed last night.

Except for the last one, he had promised not to take it at the beginning, and he already knew what she looked like.

Only a day passed, and she seemed to have forgotten all about it?

Or did she not pay any attention to last night’s experience?

Wei Shao’s heart was suddenly not happy. A kind of unhappiness that has been completely ignored.

This is very rare for him.

He walked over to her expressionlessly, came to the bed, rolled over, and said, “No need.” Go to sleep.

Little Joe sighed, went to the door and ordered the servants to disperse and rest, and finally closed the door and returned to the inner chamber.

Wei Shao lay on his back on the bed, folded his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes for a moment, realized that she did not follow herself to the bed with the lights off, slowly opened her eyes, saw her standing at her feet at the end of the bed, her eyes were looking at herself, she frowned slightly, and said: “What’s wrong?” Still not sleeping?

Xiao Qiao said, “Husband, there is one thing that bothered me during the day. I thought about what I should let you know, and I was afraid that you would annoy me if you knew. ”

What?”

“Husband Jun has just returned, but have you been to Westinghouse’s mother-in-law?”

“Never.”

Little Joe’s voice lightened: “Mother-in-law… Today I was punished by my grandmother in the inner wall of the ancestral temple… I don’t know when I’ll be able to return…”

Wei Shao seemed to be frightened, and slowly sat up, looking at Xiao Qiao with both eyes: “What’s going on?”

Xiao Qiao bit his lip: “Because of last night’s incident…”

Wei Shao looked at her and her eyes immediately became sharp, “You went to tell your grandmother?” “It was

my grandmother who passed me on to ask questions.”

Wei Shao didn’t make a sound and frowned.

Little Joe then told the story of the day.

“…… At that time, my grandmother asked me if I knew what happened to the East House last night, and said that I heard that you had kicked the door off in a rage, and asked about taking ice cubes here. My grandmother asked, and I didn’t dare not answer. I don’t know about the matter over there in the East House, so naturally I won’t answer indiscriminately, I only said about taking ice cubes here…”

Wei Shao stared at her, and the corners of his lips seemed to be a little cramped: “You said I was drugged?”

“No.” Little Joe shook his head hurriedly, “I only said that you soaked in ice cubes, thirsty let me pour you water to drink, and a little aftermath… My grandmother didn’t ask when I heard that, and then I came back. There was

a moment of silence.

Little Joe glanced up at him.

He looked stiff, as if he had been slapped in the face.

Seeing him like this, for some reason, Little Joe not only did not feel afraid at all, but had a feeling of wanting to laugh.

In view of the consequences of accidentally laughing a little before, this time naturally did not dare to laugh again. Reluctantly holding back, he said in a very sincere tone: “Husband, the movement you made last night in the East House was indeed big, even if you don’t ask me, your grandmother herself will know sooner or later.” Think for yourself if this is the case. I know you don’t want your grandmother to know, and I think the same way you do. It’s just that today’s events are not what I expected. My grandmother asked me specifically, and I really couldn’t help it. If the husband really blames me for talking too much, the punishment is that I am willing to accept it, and there is no two words…”

“Okay!”

Wei Shao interrupted her, and his expression slowly eased up a little, and he exhaled.

“Say it.” Did I say I blame you?

He glanced at her and said lightly.

“Soph jun.” Little Joe said softly.

The two were silent for a moment.

Wei Shao looked at her again and saw that she was still standing on the ground in front of the bed like that, her eyes hanging down.

“Sleep.” He finally said and lay down again.

Little Joe snorted and walked over to blow the light.

The room darkened. The moonlight was sifted through the window paper, casting a pale white shadow like water on the ground in front of the wall.

Wei Shao turned her face slightly, watching her stand in front of the bed and bow her head to untie her clothes and take off the hazy back of her outer clothes.

Little Joe put his coat on the hanger, put it next to his clothes, and then climbed onto the bed and lay down.

Chunniang repeatedly taught her that a man could sleep with his back to her in bed, but she could not turn his back on him.

She didn’t want to face him, so usually when she first went to bed, she was usually on her back.

This is also the most standard sleeping position.

She’s actually not that obedient. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and find that I don’t know when I have slept in a position with my back to him.

……

Xiao Qiao fell asleep on his back, his hands were properly placed on his abdomen, his eyes were closed, and when he thought about some messy things in his mind, he felt Wei Shao lying on his side turn over.

He turned toward himself, and seemed to lean over a little. Little Joe’s nerves suddenly tensed up a little.

“During the day my grandmother asked you to come over and ask questions, and I listened to you, and you mentioned what happened after I took a bath. What did you tell her? His

voice suddenly came in the darkness. It was a kind of weird tone that little Joe was a little difficult to discern.

Xiao Qiao didn’t expect him to suddenly ask himself this again, and he was suddenly stunned.

“I didn’t say anything… It was my grandmother herself who guessed…” Little Joe said vaguely, taking the opportunity to turn over and turn his back on him.

There was a moment of silence behind him.

Suddenly, Xiao Qiao heard a slight creaking sound from the corner of the bed, and Wei Shao leaned toward him. With a heat in her ear, he leaned down and pressed his lips against his ear.

“What the hell did you tell your grandmother about me after I took a bath?” He asked slowly.

“Say I haven’t slept with you yet, and you’re only serving me with your hands?” His tone was a little strange.

His chest had almost pressed against her back and shoulders. Little Joe’s ear was blown by his hot snort, and the cold hair stood up, numb and itchy.

Little Joe hurriedly shrank his head under the corner and avoided his mouth.

“No, no, no! How could I say that! Rest assured! Wei

Shao was silent. Slowly lay back down.

Little Joe was relieved.
