Qin Yue'er nodded, "Yes, what she said was very unpleasant. I couldn't bear it, so I ran out to argue with her, and then my whereabouts were exposed."

Mrs. Qin laughed angrily, "She is a village girl, how dare she humiliate our Duke of Qin? Who is she?"

Qin Yue'er frowned and said, "Maybe she thinks her husband is great and he is trusted by the emperor, so he doesn't take our Duke of Qin's attention seriously."

"This Mr. Qiao really doesn't know the heights of the world!" Mrs. Qin said coldly.

"That's right! And what happened today, if it weren't for her, my father wouldn't have demolished my mother's Buddhist temple. In the end, she was the cause of all the trouble!" Qin Yue'er said sadly and angrily.

Mrs. Qin narrowed her eyes, "Miss Qiao, I really underestimated her!"

"Mom, we can't let her go." Qin Yue'er heard this and took the opportunity to say.

"In your opinion, what should we do?" Mrs. Qin asked, suppressing her anger.

A trace of resentment flashed in Qin Yue'er's eyes, "Kill her directly. It's too easy for her. We can ruin her reputation!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin nodded and said appreciatively: "You are right, there is nothing more painful than letting a woman lose her innocence."

"Yes, if Mrs. Qiao loses her innocence, the Lu family will definitely divorce her or hang her to save face." Qin Yue'er looked proud.

"It seems that you already have an idea, so I'll leave this matter to you. But don't worry, take your time, you have to think of a more comprehensive approach." Mrs. Qin warned.

"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely arrange this matter properly without leaving any traces." Qin Yue'er said confidently.

Mrs. Qin touched her head and said, "Yue'er has grown up so much that she can help my mother solve her problems."

Qin Yue'er threw herself into her arms, "As long as I can help my mother, I'm willing to do anything."

Mrs. Qin was very pleased.

But what she didn't see was the satisfaction flashing in Qin Yue'er's lowered eyes.

She already had a plan in mind.

This time, she will destroy Qin Xuan as well.

When she came out of Mrs. Qin's yard, she met Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan paused. Just as he was about to ask about his mother, he heard her snort, and then she walked away.

"Miss, this is so rude." Leng Yi couldn't stand it anymore and muttered in a low voice.

Qin Xuan's handsome face, shrouded in shadow, flashed a hint of self-mockery.

When she suddenly called him brother during the day, he should have known that she didn't mean it.

And what she said to her grandmother in the afternoon in her mother's house...

He felt a chill in his heart. He originally wanted to go into his mother's yard and visit her, but his interest suddenly waned.

He turned around and left Mrs. Qin's yard.

……

Qiao Jingjing didn't know that Qin Yue'er was planning to harm her.

She was happily packing her luggage to go back to Xingzi Village with her maid.

She had gotten Lu Xingzhi's confirmation that night, and would be returning to Xingzi Village in two days.

Of course, she didn't miss Xingzi Village much. What she missed was Father Qiao and the Xu family.

She has been in the capital for a few months and misses her father Qiao and Mrs. Xu very much.

While packing her things, she remembered the unicorn jade pendant given by Duke Qin during the day, and couldn't help but take it out and look at it.

Finally, she found a secret place and hid the jade pendant.

It would be better for her not to carry such a valuable thing with her.

After hiding it, she breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Two days later.

"...Miss, my subordinates have been keeping an eye on Ms. Qiao these past few days, but Ms. Qiao didn't leave the house at all. Our people couldn't find a chance at all. Finally, when Mrs. Qiao left the house, we saw her getting on the carriage. , out of the city gate." His subordinates reported to Qin Yue'er tremblingly.

Qin Yue'er frowned, "Why did she go out of the city so well?"

"Subordinate, I don't know." The subordinate lowered his head and said.

"Don't you know you won't inquire?" Qin Yue'er said angrily.

"My subordinate, go immediately." The subordinate said quickly.

Not long after, the subordinate actually got the news.

"Miss, it's not good, then Mrs. Qiao has returned to her hometown..."

Qin Yue'er's face darkened, "Going back to your hometown?"

"I heard that Qiao's father remarried, and both Qiao and Lu Xingzhi went back," the subordinate replied.

Qin Yue'er looked gloomy.

"Miss, what about our plan..." The subordinate looked at her expression and asked cautiously. "How can we implement the plan when everyone has run away?" Qin Yue'er said impatiently, "We'll wait until they return to Beijing."

"Yes, yes." The subordinate breathed a sigh of relief.

Qin Yue'er was very depressed.

She had planned everything, but in the end, Mrs. Qiao actually left Beijing.

However, unless Mrs. Qiao does not return to Beijing, she will inevitably lose her reputation and regret her mistakes.

……

"Ah!"

In the carriage, Qiao Jingjing suddenly sneezed.

Lu Xingzhi, who was reading, heard this and raised his eyes to look at her, "But will it be cold?"

Qiao Jingjing rubbed her nose and shook her head, "It's not cold, but someone must be cursing me."

Seeing her serious look, Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up slightly.

He put down the book, picked up the cloak on the side, and put it on her shoulders, "Maybe your father misses you."

Looking at the man tying his cloak, Qiao Jingjing blinked and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Lu Xingzhi paused while helping her tie the belt, then lowered his eyes and looked at her, "What are you looking at?"

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and denied it, "I didn't see anything, but you are right, maybe my father is really thinking about me."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi responded and put down his hand.

Qiao Jingjing wrapped her cloak around her body and leaned against the car wall, "It's a long way here, I want to sleep for a while."

"Yeah." The man still responded softly.

Qiao Jingjing's eyelashes trembled.

She's not actually sleepy.

But the journey was long, and it was really uncomfortable for the two of them to stay in this confined space for so long.

But she said that, if she couldn't sleep, she could only pretend to sleep.

However, the road was bumpy and it wasn't long before she actually fell asleep.

She slept for a long time and didn't wake up until she felt the carriage stop.

She opened her eyes and was about to sit up straight when she suddenly realized something was wrong.

When she fell asleep, she was obviously leaning on her, so why was she lying down now?
Realizing something, she lowered her eyes.

Her beautiful eyes suddenly widened.

She, she actually rested her head on Lu Xingzhi's thigh...

She froze there, unable to react for a while.

Lu Xingzhi noticed the change in the girl's breathing. He lowered his eyes and saw that she was awake. He raised his hand and patted her shoulder, "Madam, since she's awake, get up."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She stiffened and slowly sat up.

Lu Xingzhi moved his numb legs and said warmly, "It's getting dark. We're going to rest in the post house tonight."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing opened the window and took a look outside, only to realize that they had arrived at a post house.

"Go down." Lu Xing knew.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him with hesitation.

Lu Xingzhi noticed it and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Qiao Jingjing couldn't figure out how she ended up sleeping on his lap?

It stands to reason that no matter how deeply she sleeps, she should still have an impression.

But she had none of it.

Looking at the man's gentle and handsome face, she couldn't help but ask: "Why do I rest on your lap?"

Lu Xingzhi was surprised, "Of course you put it on your pillow yourself."

Qiao Jingjing looked stunned, "I put it on my pillow myself?"

"What if not?" Lu Xingzhi asked back.

Qiao Jingjing choked, but still didn't believe it, "I can't possibly sleep like that."

"Actually, you were so fast asleep." Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and said calmly, "Besides, I heard you snoring."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

I wish everyone a happy Goddess’ Day and be happy every day~
