After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 154 Lu Xingzhi hid too deeply
Hearing this, Xia Houxi glanced at the body on the board.

Shen Tingzhi committed many evil deeds during his lifetime. He did all kinds of things that were harmful to nature and justice in order to make money. Have you ever thought that he would end up like this?

Thinking about it, he took the arrow, looked at it for a while, weighed it in his hand, and wondered: "Why is this arrow heavier than ordinary arrows? And this arrow is barbed."

"The man in the dark accurately shot Shen Tingzhi with just one arrow. His skill may be better than that of you and me." Lu Xing knew.

Xia Houxi was surprised, "So powerful?"

"Yes. Lin Jiu fought with this person before and was defeated after only ten moves." Lu Xing knew.

Hearing this, Xia Houxi squatted down and examined Shen Tingzhi's arrow wound, and found that there was a deep hole in his heart, which was directly penetrated by the arrow.

It can be seen that archers not only have exquisite archery skills, but also have amazing skills.

His face became solemn, "With such profound martial arts, it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to control it, so the background of the person behind the scenes is probably very high."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi thought the same way, "But from this, it's not difficult to investigate the person behind the scenes."

Those who can control such masters in the current dynasty are inferior to those few people.

Xia Houxi said: "Have you already thought of who it is?"

Lu Xingzhi paused and shook his head, "I dare not make any assertions without evidence."

When Xia Houxi heard this, he didn't ask any more questions, but he actually had something to suspect in his heart.

However, if that person is really the case, things will be difficult. After all, that person is not something they can afford to offend.

Afterwards, the two returned to the study to discuss matters with several officials.

After the discussion, it was already getting late.

Lu Xingzhi said to several people: "It's getting late, you should go back and rest first."

Hearing this, Xia Houxi turned to look at the sky outside, "I think it's not too late yet. Mr. Lu is so eager to drive us away, is he going to..."

Speaking of this, he gave him an ambiguous look.

Several other officials smiled in understanding when they saw this.

Lu Xingzhi's expression froze for a moment, he grabbed the book on the table and threw it at Xia Houxi, "Get out of here!"

Xia Houxi caught the book and joked: "Hey, someone is so angry."

Lu Xingzhi laughed angrily, "I see you are not sleepy at all. In that case, you can write the rest of the memorial."

Xia Houxi was most tired of writing memorials, so he deliberately yawned, "Who said I'm not sleepy? I haven't slept for many days, and now I can fall asleep standing up. Okay, I won't disturb you and Mrs. Sister-in-law's warmth. Let’s go now.”

When he walked outside the door, he suddenly remembered something, rolled his eyes, took out something from his sleeve, threw it on the desk, and said solemnly: "This is what was found when Chunhuayuan was sealed up. The contents inside, It’s very important, you must read it.”

After saying that, before Lu Xingzhi could say anything, he had already fled.

Upon seeing this, the other officials did not stay any longer and left immediately after.

Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, then picked up the things Xia Houxi threw on the desk.

That thing is a scroll.

It is made of silk, the tentacles are smooth, and the shaft head is made of sandalwood, so when it is unfolded, there is a faint fragrance.

Lu Xingzhi thought it was something important, so he was extremely cautious when opening it.

However, as the scroll slowly unfolded and the contents inside were revealed, his usually calm and calm expression suddenly changed.

There was a hint of astonishment on his handsome face, and when he reacted, he immediately threw the scroll to the ground as if he had touched something dirty, and his handsome face turned livid.

This Xia Houxi...

"Husband?"

At this moment, a woman's soft voice sounded outside the door.

Lu Xingzhi was stunned and looked up, only to see Qiao Jingjing standing outside.

"Why are you here?" He looked surprised.

Qiao Jingjing picked up the hem of her skirt and walked in, "I saw you haven't been here for a long time, and I heard that Mr. Xiahou and the others had left, so I came over to take a look."

She was actually confused by what he asked before leaving her house.

Because she really couldn't remember what she said that night, she wanted to ask him directly.

When Lu Xingzhi heard the words, he said warmly: "I'll be there in a moment." "This is..." Qiao Jingjing noticed the scroll at her feet and frowned, "Why did it fall to the ground?" After saying that, she leaned down. , want to pick it up.

However, before she could touch the scroll, the man had already picked it up and carried it behind his back. "I accidentally dropped it on the ground."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes, and looked at him thoughtfully, "Really?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi's handsome face felt uncomfortable and his eyes were a little evasive.

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she became even more suspicious.

If she had read correctly just now, what was exposed on the scroll was clearly a woman's face. Although the scroll had only unfolded a small part and only the face could be seen, looking at the outline, it was a very beautiful woman...

And Lu Xingzhi was so nervous...

Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

In the middle of the night, this man never came to her room, but stayed here to admire the paintings. Could he be seeing things and missing people?
Who is the woman on the scroll?

Could it be the woman Lu Xingzhi likes?
Thinking that he had been unwilling to consummate the marriage with her, she suddenly had such speculation in her heart.

Although the original book said that Lu Xingzhi lived a lonely life without any women, after she traveled back in time, she discovered many things that deviated from the plot in the original book.

Therefore, it is not impossible that Lu Xingzhi has someone on his mind.

It's just that this man hid it too deeply.

She frowned, feeling disappointed.

After all, she had always thought that he was as clean and self-sufficient as described in the original book.

But what happened tonight overturned her understanding of him.

What does it mean to keep one's body clean and keep one's mind pure?
There was clearly a Bai Yueguang living in his heart.

Judging from his behavior of hiding in the study, looking at the portraits, looking at things and thinking about people, it is very likely that he is still in love with the white moonlight...

Thinking of this, she felt depressed for a while, and said in a sarcastic tone: "It seems that I came at the wrong time, so I won't disturb my husband. It's getting late, so I'll go back and rest first."

After saying that, without waiting for Lu Xingzhi to say anything, she turned and left.

Looking at her figure without looking back, Lu Xingzhi's beautiful brows wrinkled tighter and tighter.

Why is she acting weird?

What he said is also confusing.

Did she think he still had to deal with official duties, so she didn't want to disturb him?

Although he did still have official business to deal with, he promised to accompany her tonight.

Thinking of this, he put away the scroll and went to her yard.

However, when he arrived at Qiao Jingjing's yard, the candles in her room had already been extinguished, and Mallow was coming out of it.

Seeing him, Mallow was a little surprised, "Sir?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at the room behind her, frowned and asked, "Have you rest, madam?"

"Well, we just took a rest." Mallow said immediately, "You can go in, adults."

Lu Xingzhi paused and shook his head, "Since Madam has rested, please don't disturb her."

Mallow hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

Lu Xingzhi stood there for a long time and said, "Take good care of Madam."

Mallow was startled, thought of something, and quickly asked: "Are you worried that Madam will be scared?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her lightly and said nothing.

Mallow lowered her head and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Not long after, Lu Xingzhi turned and left.

When Mallow saw this, she was a little confused.

The madam was obviously looking forward to the adults coming over in the evening. Why did the madam come back by herself after going to the study?

The same goes for adults. He is obviously worried about Madam, why don't he go in to find Madam and stay with Madam?

Mallow was very puzzled.
