After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 146 Sooner or later, it will fall into his hands!

"The prefect's wife said that she has been in Chuzhou for a while, but has never come to visit you. Today she came to visit you specially," the servant replied.

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Jingjing said: "Just say that I am not feeling well and it is not suitable to see guests. When I feel better, I can visit her again someday."

"Yes." The servant left quickly.

Outside the gate of Heyuan.

The prefect's wife waited in the carriage for a while before she saw Heyuan's servants coming out.

She originally thought that the servant was here to invite her in, and with a smile on her face, she held on to the maid's hand and was about to get out of the car. Unexpectedly, the servant actually said: "Mrs. Magistrate, my wife is not very comfortable and it is not suitable to see her." Guest, my wife will get better someday and will pay a special visit to you."

The prefect's wife's expression froze and she sat back down again.

How could it be such a coincidence that as soon as she came to visit, he would feel uncomfortable?

Anyone can tell that this is an excuse.

But what can be done?

Her husband held a high official position, so even if she deliberately didn't want to see him, she could only smile.

She was angry in her heart, but she said, "Is Mrs. Lu sick? It's nothing important, right?"

"It's not a big deal, I just need more bed rest," the servant replied.

"In that case, I won't bother you any more." After the prefect's wife finished speaking, the maid lowered the curtain of the car.

Blocking the outside view, the smile on Mrs. Magistrate's face disappeared.

"Is Mrs. Qiao really sick, or is she pretending to be sick?" the maid asked in a low voice.

The prefect's wife sneered: "Whether she is real or pretending, do you think I am happy to come to see her? If I hadn't been entrusted by Mr. Shen... bah! She's just a village girl."

Soon, the prefect's wife left.

Qingyuan stood inside the door. Seeing the carriage go away, she returned to the yard and reported to Qiao Jingjing: "It's gone."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded, not paying much attention.

She had never met the prefect's wife before, so it was definitely not an accident that she suddenly came to visit her.

Naturally, she would not see her until she understood her purpose.

Moreover, Lu Xingzhi told her last night that the matter in Chuzhou City would be resolved within three days. At this time, it was really not appropriate to create extraneous matters and cause trouble for him.

Just as Qiao Jingjing thought, it was indeed no coincidence that the prefect's wife came to visit her.

Her carriage stopped unexpectedly after driving some distance away from the Lotus Garden.

When Shen Tingzhi, who was waiting there, saw this, he stepped forward and bowed, "Shen has met Mrs. Lin."

Inside the carriage, the maid lifted the curtain.

The prefect's wife said apologetically: "Mr. Shen, I have just been to Heyuan. I heard that Mrs. Lu is ill. I couldn't even get in. I'm sorry that I couldn't complete your entrustment."

When Shen Tingzhi saw her carriage coming so quickly, he knew that she had not seen anyone.

He paused and said nonchalantly: "Mrs. Shen felt really bad about letting Mrs. Lin make this trip. Didn't Mrs. Lin take a fancy to the newly arrived jewelry from the jewelry store? Later, Shen sent someone Send it to your mansion.”

Mrs. Lin wiped away the arrogance she felt earlier and said happily: "Young Master Shen is determined."

"Then Shen will not disturb Mrs. Lin." Shen Tingzhi took a step back.

"Mr. Shen, please come to the house more often when you are free." Mrs. Lin said sincerely.

"Okay." Shen Tingzhi nodded.

Mrs. Lin was very satisfied.

As soon as her carriage left, Shen Tingzhi's expression darkened.

He wanted to meet this woman Qiao Jingjing, but it was so difficult.

He asked the prefect's wife to come to see Qiao Jingjing, with the purpose of using her to take Qiao Jingjing to the temple on the pretext of offering incense. Unexpectedly, Qiao Jingjing would disappear behind closed doors on the pretext of being ill.

He tried several times to get close to Qiao Jingjing, but all failed.

This made him angry, and he felt more and more determined to win Qiao Jingjing.

Sooner or later, this woman will fall into his hands!

……

The next night.

Shen Tingzhi and Chuzhou officials arrived as promised. In the front hall, Lu Xingzhi sat at the head, while Shen Tingzhi and the officials sat on both sides.

While drinking and drinking, the dancers danced gracefully, and the music of silk and bamboo continued.

"Thanks to Mr. Lu's invitation today, I would like to toast Mr. Lu. I wish Mr. Lu a bright future and continuous improvement." Shen Tingzhi picked up the wine glass and stood up first.

The others also followed suit.

Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and pressed it lightly, "Everyone, sit down quickly. Don't be so serious. Just be more casual."

His voice is gentle and polite, which makes people feel like spring breeze.

Shen Tingzhi and the officials all relaxed.

There were even lustful officials who, seeing that Lu Xingzhi had such a good temper, started to have evil thoughts towards the beautiful dancer.

One of the dancers suddenly exclaimed and was pulled into the official's arms.

Regardless of Mai Ji's struggle, he forcefully fed her wine.

The others immediately booed.

Regarding this, Lu Xingzhi's eyes flashed with disgust, and he said in a deep voice: "Master Chen, you should restrain yourself."

Mr. Chen, who was filled with lust, suddenly regained his sense.

He looked at the dancer in his arms and saw that she was pretty, so he misunderstood what Lu Xingzhi meant. He smiled apologetically and said, "I've stolen Mr. Lu's heart. I'm sorry for being rude."

Mai Ji took the opportunity to run away.

"Speaking of which, why haven't you seen Miss Lian?" At this time, the prefect of Chuzhou suddenly said.

Lu Xingzhi paused and said calmly: "Why, Prefect Lin still wants to see her?"

When the Chuzhou magistrate heard this, he said with a sly expression: "I am being rude, but I really miss the song that the girl sang last time."

"There are so many girls singing. Does Magistrate Lin want to meet people or listen to music?" Lu Xingzhi said unhurriedly.

The Chuzhou magistrate heard the displeasure in his tone and immediately clarified: "Master Lu, please don't misunderstand me. I simply think that the song Miss Lian sang last time was very nice."

"Mr. Lin, Miss Li has been taken into the house by Mr. Lu, so don't worry about it," an official said to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, it's because the lower-level officials don't know what's important." The Chuzhou magistrate followed his words.

This matter has been revealed.

……

backyard.

Qiao Jingjing naturally heard the lively sounds coming from the front yard, and she knew that it was Lu Xingzhi who was entertaining Shen Tingzhi and others.

She had nothing to do in the house, so she played Landlords with Qingyuan and Mallow.

As they approached Zi Shi, a servant suddenly shouted from outside the door, "Who is that?"

Qiao Jingjing, master and servant were all shocked.

Mallow put down the cards, stood up and said, "Slave, please go out and take a look."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

When Mallow went out, she saw a drunk man who broke into the yard regardless of her mother-in-law's obstruction.

"Don't stop me, I want to drink with Mr. Lu..."

The man was talking nonsense while pushing away the servants who were blocking him, and stumbled straight to the main house.

The man seemed drunk, but he was extremely strong.

The two women who were blocking him were pushed by him and fell to the ground with an "ouch".

Seeing that he was about to go up the steps, Mallow's expression changed and she hurriedly rushed to stop him, "Who are you? You are not allowed to come here. Someone, take him away quickly!"

As soon as Mallow finished speaking, the man waved his arms and knocked him to the ground.

Mallow fell so hard that stars appeared in her eyes, but she ignored the pain and shouted to the women: "Stop him quickly!"

The mother-in-law, who had just gotten up, heard this and rushed forward to stop the man again.

Qiao Jingjing, who was in the house, had already heard the noise outside.

She couldn't sit still anymore, picked up the stick, and walked out with Qingyuan.
