After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

For a time, Duke Qin was furious.

This bastard mother and daughter dared to hide it from him. How brave they were!
Facing Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing, he felt that he had lost all face and said in a deep voice, "I made an oversight and made you laugh."

Qiao Jingjing said: "The Duke of Qin is busy with official duties, so it is inevitable that he will be overlooked for a while."

Duke Guo Qin's face turned pale, "I'm going to find them now to apologize to you!"

Qiao Jingjing waved her hands quickly, "What happened last time has passed, and the Duke has just apologized to me, so I don't have to worry about it anymore."

She knew very well that with the narrow-minded temperaments of Mrs. Qin and her daughter, even if they were forced to come to her and apologize to her due to the majesty of Qin Guogong, they would not be sincere. She was afraid that they would hate her even more because of this.

In this case, if they apologize or not, what's the point?
Moreover, the Duke of Qin had already apologized to her. If she gave up until she got better, the Duke of Qin would definitely feel uncomfortable.

She was not afraid of offending Mrs. Qin and her daughter, after all, the relationship between them had already been forged, but she did not want to offend Duke Qin because of them.

After all, Duke Qin's status in the court was higher than that of Lu Xingzhi.

She didn't want to give Lu Xingzhi such a powerful enemy because of her relationship.

Duke Qin looked at her with a complicated expression.

The girl in front of him was not very young and came from the countryside, but she had such magnanimity, which really surprised him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask one more question, "I wonder where Mrs. Lu's natal family is now?"

Qiao Jingjing was a little hesitant when she heard this. She didn't understand why he suddenly asked about her family?
Could it be that he became angry and wanted to do harm to her family?
Lu Xingzhi was also puzzled. Seeing that she remained silent, he replied on her behalf: "My wife's natal family did not come to the capital. I wonder why the Duke asked about them?"

Duke Guo of Qin was startled, knowing that his question had made them misunderstand.

"Don't think too much about it, I'm just curious about what kind of family can bring up a girl with such a good nature as Mrs. Lu."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he glanced at the girl beside him, with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing that it was not what she thought, Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

Duke Guo of Qin didn't just want to do harm to her father!

"Let the Duke of Qin laugh. I am just a countryman with no knowledge. If I am disrespectful, the Duke of Qin must not be offended.

But since the Duke asked me about my family, I told the truth. In fact, in the countryside, I only had one father. My mother passed away when I was very young. My father raised me alone. grown up. "

When the Duke of Qin heard this, he was very surprised. He originally thought that her parents should be alive because of her open-minded temperament. Unexpectedly, her mother passed away when she was young, and only her father raised her...

"Your dad is amazing." He praised sincerely.

"Yes, my father is very, very amazing." Qiao Jingjing nodded in agreement without humility.

Seeing her proud look, Qin Guogong suddenly envied her father.

Her father should be very pleased that his daughter is so filial and sensible. The hard work of raising her alone for more than ten years is worth it.

It would be great if he also had a daughter like this...

This thought flashed into his mind and he was stunned for a moment.

He is a person with weak relationships, but looking at Qiao Jingjing, he actually had such an idea in his heart.

Obviously he has a daughter...

But when he thought of Qin Yue'er, he frowned.

He didn't know why, even though both Qin Yue'er and Qin Xuan were born to Mrs. Qin, he still wanted to get close to Qin Xuan and would always pay attention to him, but not Qin Yue'er.

Obviously both of them are his children...

And he is not a patriarchal person... He stopped his thoughts, stood up and said to the couple: "I've been disturbing you a lot today. Qin will leave first."

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing stood up and said, "Let's see Duke Qin off."

Duke Guo of Qin nodded.

When he arrived outside the house, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Qiao Jingjing who was following Lu Xingzhi. He paused, then suddenly took off the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to her, "If you encounter difficulties, you can come to me at any time. , Qin will do his best to help you."

Qiao Jingjing was surprised, looking at the jade pendant he handed over, but she still didn't reach out to take it.

That is a piece of unicorn jade pendant. For a person with the status of Qin Guogong, the things on his body are very valuable and have great significance. He will not give it to others casually, because it can easily be used by others.

But now he gave her the jade pendant he carried with him and said something like this. It was not a gift, but a token.

"This is too expensive, I can't have it." Qiao Jingjing shook her head and refused.

Duke Qin frowned slightly, "This is just an ordinary jade pendant. You don't have to feel pressure, just accept it." After saying this, his tone left no room for doubt.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Lu Xingzhi in embarrassment, "Husband, this..."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at the resolute Duke of Qin, paused, and advised: "Take it, this is also Duke Qin's recognition and affection for you, but if you accept this gift from Duke Qin, you must keep it well. It cannot be lost.”

After hearing what he said, Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to accept it.

"Thank you Duke Qin. I will definitely keep it well." She held the jade pendant and said solemnly.

The Duke of Qin frowned and said, "Okay, Qin has something important to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Qin Guo Gong, go slowly." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Soon, Duke Guo of Qin took his bodyguard and rode away.

Seeing his tall figure walking away, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but tell Lu Xing: "Obviously Qin Guogong and Qin Shizi are very good, but Mrs. Qin and that Qin Yue'er are extremely vicious. They really don't do anything at all." Like a family.”

Looking at his lovely wife's beautiful little face, Lu Xingzhi paused and whispered: "Actually, Duke Qin is not so kind and patient with others."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, and she understood the meaning of his words.

She looked at the jade pendant in her hand and said hesitantly, "Then why is Duke Qin so nice to me?"

"Maybe it's because you like him." Lu Xing knew.

"Is that all?" Qiao Jingjing tilted her head and looked at him.

"Otherwise, what else can there be? He is old enough to be your father." Lu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then deliberately pursed her lips and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced sideways at her. He originally thought that Duke Qin treated her specially because he was attracted to her, but judging from Duke Qin's words and deeds, he thought wrong.

Qin Guogong's love for her was clearly a kind of love and care from an elder to a younger one.

"No." He said calmly.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

She bet that there must have been some strange thoughts in this guy's mind just now.

Can't blame him though.

It was indeed Qin Guogong's attitude towards her that was quite surprising.
