After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 169 Lu Xingzhi gets angry

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

He looked down at the helpless girl in his arms, pursed his thin lips, and looked at Aunt Lu.

Second Aunt Lu, who was still proud of getting a gold hairpin, was stunned when she heard Qiao Jingjing's words.

When she met Lu Xingzhi's cold gaze, she finally reacted and quickly defended herself, "A Xing, don't listen to her nonsense. I didn't steal this gold hairpin, she gave it to me..."

"Second Aunt, in fact, if you like this golden hairpin, I would be willing to bear the pain and give it to you, but you should never steal my golden hairpin while I'm not paying attention. What you did is too unethical. .

Even if you are an elder, you should not be so disrespectful. "Qiao Jingjing looked forbearing and aggrieved.

The neighbors who came over after hearing the commotion condemned Aunt Lu one after another when they heard this.

"His second aunt, what you did is really unethical. How could you steal it? It's so outrageous. Please return the gold hairpin to your nephew-in-law."

"That's right, don't bully the juniors just because you are the elder. Do you still want to do this with your old face?"

"Ah Xing's father and mother treat your family well. What you have done is so chilling."

Listening to the condemnation from the neighbors, Aunt Lu blushed and said, "You, you are talking nonsense. I didn't steal at all. It was Qiao Jingjing, the little bitch, who honored me."

"His second aunt, why are you still scolding me?" The neighbors shouted loudly, unable to listen any longer.

Aunt Lu realized that she had made a mistake and quickly tried to make amends, but Lu Xingzhi's chilly voice sounded first.

"Come here, Xu stole gold and silver, and insulted the family members of the court officials. He will be taken to the government immediately. Please tell the magistrate!"

"Yes." Lin Jiu couldn't hold it back for a long time. Hearing the words of the adults, without saying a word, he brought the guards forward and lifted Aunt Lu up.

Aunt Lu was so frightened that her legs went weak.

After coming back to her senses, she turned back to look at Lu Xingzhi, "A Xing, don't listen to that bitch...Qiao Jingjing's instigation. I didn't steal anything. She really gave it to me..."

A neighbor nearby couldn't help but said: "It's strange that someone would give you such a valuable thing after scolding him like that. It's not like his brain was kicked by a donkey."

Aunt Lu was shocked and angry, shouting loudly, "I'm not a thief, I didn't steal anything..."

Qiao Jingjing suppressed her smile and said with a sad face: "I stole it and still refuse to admit it. If the second aunt admits it, for the sake of relatives, we will not pursue it."

"Qiao Jingjing, you... ugh!" Before Aunt Lu could finish her words, a smelly rag was suddenly stuffed into her open mouth.

Lin Jiu clapped her hands and said to the guards on the left and right: "Take the person away!"

Soon, Aunt Lu was escorted away.

Seeing this, the neighbors applauded, "This Xu deserves it!"

"I told you a long time ago that she will have her retribution."

"That's right, look how arrogant she is?"

When Qiao Jingjing saw Lu Xingzhi following Lin Jiu and others out of the door, she paused and felt a little confused.

However, facing a crowd of neighbors who criticized Aunt Lu, she bent down and bowed: "Thank you all uncles and aunts for seeking justice for Jingjing today."

Everyone was startled and hurriedly waved their hands and said: "Xingzhi's wife, you don't have to be like this. We didn't do anything, we just said a few fair words."

"No matter what, Jingjing still wants to thank everyone." Qiao Jingjing looked sincere.

When the neighbors saw this, they were all very pleased. At the same time, they also gained a new understanding of Qiao Jingjing.

This well-known wife is obviously very virtuous and sensible, and she is not at all like what was rumored before.

Moreover, she has become an official wife, but she has no airs at all.

"Mallow, Qingyuan, quickly take out the specialties brought back from the capital and share them with your uncles and aunts." Qiao Jingjing turned around and ordered.

The two maids went immediately. Not long after, the two of them brought a basket over.

Qiao Jingjing personally took things from the basket and handed them to the neighbors one by one.

"I was originally going to deliver these specialties to everyone yesterday, but there were too many people at home yesterday and I was too busy, so it was delayed."

"Daughter-in-law, Xingzhi, you are too polite."

The neighbors took advantage of it, all smiling from ear to ear, and they poured out nice words as if they were free of charge.

After Qiao Jingjing sent the person away, she saw Lu Xingzhi coming back and greeted her, "What did your husband just do?"

Looking at her harmless little face, Lu Xingzhi paused and explained, "Go and tell Lin Jiu something."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned, thinking about what he had just chased him out, she paused and asked: "Are we going too far? She is your second aunt after all. If not, forget about it and let Lin Jiu and the others Don’t go to the government.”

Lu Xingzhi recalled what Xu had said to her just now. He narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "It's not too much at all. I just told Lin Jiu to tell the county magistrate to severely punish Xu."

"Ah?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

She didn't believe that Lu Xingzhi couldn't tell what happened just now. She deliberately framed it for Aunt Lu.

But this man didn't blame her at all for not telling her, and wanted the government to severely punish Mrs. Xu.

If the government knew that it was his intention, how could they easily spare Xu?
Xu's situation was miserable.

If you are not locked up, you may have to take off a layer of your skin.

Qiao Jingjing felt happy.

Looking at the girl in front of him, Lu Xingzhi suddenly raised his hand and touched her hair, "Xu insulted you like that. There is no way this matter can be rectified."

Qiao Jingjing was startled for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at him.

He... was defending her?

She blinked and couldn't help but said: "But she is your second aunt after all. After a while, your second uncle and the others will definitely come to you to beg for mercy."

"It's useless for them to plead for mercy. Moreover, Mrs. Xu stole your hairpin and spoke rudely to you. All the neighbors saw it, and the second uncle and the others have nothing to say." Lu Xingzhi said nonchalantly.

Qiao Jingjing pursed her lips, her unhappiness was fake.

Although this man has another woman in his heart, he has always treated her well.

"Your hairpin." Lu Xingzhi suddenly took out the hairpin from his sleeve.

Qiao Jingjing was surprised. She was so focused on dealing with Mr. Xu that she forgot to take the hairpin back.

So this man chased her out just now, not only to tell Lin Jiuhua, but also to get the hairpin back for her?
While she was thinking, the man suddenly picked up the hairpin and inserted it into her hair.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment and said warmly: "Go and wash up quickly. Breakfast will be served soon."

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and then remembered that because of Mrs. Xu, she had even forgotten to wash herself.

"Hmm." She nodded.

When he returned to the house, Lu Xingzhi had put the bedding on the floor into the cabinet.

After washing, she looked in the mirror, and when she saw the gold hairpin in her hair, the corners of her mouth twitched.

She had not originally thought about dealing with Aunt Lu, but what she said was too unpleasant.

She was definitely going to teach her a lesson.

And she wasn't worried that things would be revealed.
