After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 102 Qiao Jingjing: It’s about my daughter’s family...that thing
That maid dared to seduce Lu Xingzhi in front of her.

She didn't know how many such things there were in places she didn't know.

Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably irritated.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a pain in her lower abdomen.

Immediately afterwards, something warm leaked out.

She stiffened and quickly called the maid.

……

When Lu Xingzhi came out of the bath, he saw Qiao Jingjing lying on the soft couch, her wet hair had been wiped dry, and her long hair was flowing down from the edge of the couch like a waterfall.

He paused and walked over slowly.

When he got closer, he saw that Qiao Jingjing's little face, hidden by her black hair, was a little pale and her expression was wilted.

His heart tightened and he said aloud: "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Jingjing was thinking about something when he suddenly spoke, startling her.

She stroked her heart and slowly turned her head to look at him.

Seeing him standing next to the couch in his middle coat, she curled her thick eyelashes and blinked lightly, "What?"

Lu Xingzhi took a look at her complexion, sat down by the couch, and said in a deep voice, "You don't seem to be in a good mood."

Qiao Jingjing was startled, "Did you see it?"

"I'm not blind." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Qiao Jingjing choked.

"Tell me, what is it?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Qiao Jingjing sat up and looked at the man's handsome face. She thought for a while and finally said: "It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

Lu Xingzhi's handsome brows furrowed, "What's wrong with you?"

Qiao Jingjing paused, stretched out her hand to stroke her belly, and whispered: "It's just about my daughter's family...that matter..."

Although she didn't want to mention what happened just now, she didn't lie to him either.

She was indeed not feeling well. Just now, she had her period.

After Lu Xingzhi heard this, he was startled for a moment, glanced at her belly, and nodded slightly, "I understand."

"What?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment.

Wouldn't he think she was faking it?
She was about to explain, but he changed the subject, "Are you going to sleep now?"

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "I'm not sleepy yet, what's wrong?"

Lu Xingzhi was silent for a moment, then said in a gentle voice: "If you still don't want to sleep, then do you want to teach me how to play cards?"

"Playing cards?" Qiao Jingjing looked at him blankly.

The corners of Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up, "I heard from A-yan that you played cards with your parents yesterday. A-yan said that eighty points was very interesting."

Qiao Jingjing finally understood, "Husband, you want to learn? But 80% requires four people to play together. There are two of us, so we can't play."

Lu Xingzhi was surprised, "You want four people to play?"

"If my husband doesn't mind, can I ask Qingyuan and the others to come and play together?" Qiao Jingjing thought for a while and then asked.

"Forget it, you should rest early." Lu Xingzhi shook his head.

Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Qiao Jingjing blinked, suddenly stretched out her hand and pulled his sleeve and said, "Husband, let's play turtle smoking, how about it?"

"Smoke the turtle?" Lu Xingzhi was puzzled.

"Well, two people can play turtle smoking." Qiao Jingjing said, then went down to get the playing cards, "But I want to play while sitting on the bed. It will be more comfortable sitting on the bed."

Lu Xingzhi was silent for a moment, then stood up and said, "Yes."

So the couple entered the inner room one after another.

When she got to the bed, Qiao Jingjing took off her shoes and went directly to the bed, then pulled the quilt over her body. After doing it, she took out the cards and placed them on the quilt.

Lu Xingzhi stood by the bed and watched her busy. Qiao Jingjing looked up and saw that he was still standing, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you coming up?"

Lu Xingzhi paused and sat down on the edge of the bed, "I can just sit here."

"Okay." When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she didn't force him. She began to teach him how to recognize the cards.

After recognizing the cards, she told him how to draw a turtle and demonstrated it to him.

Lu Xingzhi listened quietly, and finally became interested in the piece of paper in his hand. "How do you want to play with this turtle?"

Looking at the man's ascetic and gentle face, Qiao Jingjing blinked and asked, "Do you know how to play?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing took out a card from the deck and pressed it under the pillow, then divided the card into two parts, "You pick one."

Lu Xingzhi chose as she was told, and as she just said, he cleared all the pairs in his hand.

Seeing how quickly he learned, Qiao Jingjing raised her eyebrows and quickly cleared away the pairs in her hand.

Then, she counted the cards in his hand and said, "I have five cards left, and you have four cards left. You draw mine first."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi responded, and just as he was about to stretch out his hand, Qiao Jingjing suddenly remembered something and avoided the action, "Wait a minute, we have to talk about rewards and punishments first."

"Reward and punishment?" Lu Xingzhi raised his eyes and looked at her curiously.

"Of course. If you win, you'll get a prize, if you lose, you'll be punished." Qiao Jingjing said matter-of-factly.

Lu Xingzhi paused and asked, "What's the reward if you win, and what's the penalty if you lose?"

Qiao Jingjing said: "If I win, I will fine you ten taels of silver. If you win, I will fine you a meal."

Lu Xingzhi's handsome eyebrows were raised slightly, "I won, why didn't I give you money as a punishment, but cook?"

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly and said in a coaxing tone: "My cooking is delicious, but it is much more valuable than money."

Seeing the serious look on the girl's face, Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up unnoticeably, but instead of exposing her, he said: "If you win, I can give you twenty taels of silver at a time.

"Cough cough cough..." Qiao Jingjing choked on her own saliva, "Two, twenty taels?"

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi nodded affirmatively, then suddenly raised his hand, unexpectedly took away a card from her hand, and added unhurriedly, "If I win, the meal you cook for me will be as good as There must be at least five dishes in the meal, and I have to specify what dishes to cook.”

Looking at the two cards he pulled out and put on the table, Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then looked at him in astonishment, "Five dishes? Can you finish them?"

"The quantity can be smaller, but there must be five styles, and they cannot be repeated." After Lu Xingzhi finished speaking, he reminded, "It's your turn."

"Oh." Qiao Jingjing reacted and quickly pulled out the cards in his hand. When she saw that they could form a pair with the cards in her hand, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly threw away the pair of cards.

However, she was still confused. Lu Xingzhi looked quite thin, and when she ate with him, she didn't see him with such a big appetite. Now he asked her to cook five dishes, and they couldn't repeat them.

This man was obviously deliberately trying to embarrass her.

But when I think about making a meal for twenty taels, it seems quite worth it.

Besides, she didn't believe that she would lose to him, a person who just learned to play cards.

Just when he was thinking this, he saw him throw away another pair of cards.

Seeing this, she cheered up and took it seriously.

But what shocked her was that she actually lost this round...

Seeing the girl's shocked look, a smile flashed in Lu Xingzhi's lowered eyes.

Following her example, he shuffled the cards, took out one card, put it aside, and then divided the cards into two parts.

"Please, madam," the man said politely.

Qiao Jingjing picked one, thinking that she must not lose again this time.

It's not a big deal if you cook one meal, but it's annoying if you cook two meals.

Moreover, this guy also asked for a five-course meal, and he had to cook the dishes he specified.

It wasn't until there was no more cards left in her hand that she smiled happily, opened her palms towards the man and said, "Husband, I won, Chenghui twenty taels."

Looking at the girl's delicate white palms, Lu Xingzhi paused and whispered: "I owe you now, I'll give it to you tomorrow."
