The Marquis Is Innocent

Chapter 80.1

Chapter 80.1

Xiao Qiao saw that Mrs. Xu seemed slightly startled and looked at her, so she said, I know that this is really an inconsiderate request. Since my husband is away on a battlefield and Grandmother is aged, she has just fallen ill and has not recovered for a few days, I should be at home and wait for my husbands triumph with Grandmother. But there is really a reason for this. This morning I received a letter from my brother in East County, saying that my uncles wife had been ill for some time. My mother passed away early, and in the past, my aunt took care of me at home in East County and treated me like her own daughter. My aunt has no son and has only one daughter, my sister. When I got married last year, my sister had a change of heart and she was not at home. Now I suddenly know that my aunt is ill, and I am very concerned about her. Therefore, although I knew I should not ask, I still begged my Grandmothers permission. I beg your permission to go home, and I will return as soon as I have visited my aunt.

After Xiao Qiao finished speaking, her eyes looked at Mrs. Xu with hope.

Mrs. Xu looked concerned, and when she finished, she immediately said, This is a common feeling, why do you say that you are ungrateful? What I hate the most in my life is the saying of a married daughter was like spilled water. If you raise your daughter to marry someone else, cut off from your mothers family for the rest of your life, where is the human love? You can go, Im fine here. You should transfer the affairs of the household, and entrust the rest to the stewards. Leave as soon as possible.

After a moments silence, she added: My only concern is your safety on the road. The good thing is that the southward journey from Youzhou to Jizhou is under the control of Shaoer, so the journey will be unhindered. Ill send a letter to the county magistrate to escort you across the river and send you straight to Yanzhou. After you have visited the patient, come back as soon as possible.

Yanzhou and Youzhou are more than a thousand miles apart from the Huang River. Xiao Qiao had only been married for a year, and she wanted to go back to her mothers house, which she knew was difficult.

But she had already had this idea in her mind for a long time, and since the news of her aunts illness came at the same time, she took the opportunity to bring it up.

Xiao Qiao also knew that if she asked for it at this time, Mrs. Xus understanding would allow it even if she was not very happy about it.

She did not expect her to agree so quickly and considerately. Her heart inevitably felt guilty for having been carrying a little bit of thoughts that she could never let the Wei family know.

But every time, whenever she thinks of the end of her past life that she had nightmares about countless times and still doesnt dare to relax, she tells herself that its not wrong to take some precautions.

Grandmother is very kind. With this incident, as well. If she stayed alive, she should be the key for herself or the Qiao family.

But grandmother is old after all, this time, although with her knowledge of the past life with advance precautions, plus a few good luck, escaped a disaster. But the future, she does not know.

In case one day grandmother is 100 years old, leaving a Wei Shao. Judging by her own experience with him over the past year, once Mrs. Xu is gone, who knows if he will change his face later, and what will happen if he does?

One can think of things in an optimistic and good direction, or do it. But never fail to prepare a way back for oneself.

Even if Wei Shao had shown how infatuated he was with her in bed, she would never forget a single moment of this.

Xiao Qiao then showed her gratitude and thanked Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu nodded with a smile: Go back and pack your bags. I hope your aunt will recover soon and you will come back sooner. I also have some things here, you can help me bring them to the elders.

Last time when Qiao Ci and her group came, the Qiao family had prepared generous gifts for both Mrs. Xu and Zhu. Since she was going back, it was common for Mrs. Xu to return the gift.

Xiao Qiao once again paid her respects.
