After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 17 Is she really still the same Qiao Jingjing?

"Mom's concern is right." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Hearing this, Mother Lu looked up at her and said, "Your performance today surprised me. By the way, how did you know that there was a banknote hidden in Cai Die's shoe?"

"Ayan said he found the colorful butterfly outside the pawn shop, but Aunt Rong searched her several times but couldn't find a jade bracelet on her body, so I became suspicious.

Unexpectedly, I actually found a banknote in her shoe. "Qiao Jingjing said in a lucky tone.

Mother Lu nodded, "You are smart."

Qiao Jingjing patted her heart and said with a look of false alarm: "Actually, I was scared to death when I found out that the jade bracelet was missing. After all, it was given to me by my mother. If I can't find it back, I won't be able to find it." I don’t know how to explain it to my mother.

What my mother said made me calm down a lot.

I really can't embarrass my husband. "

When Mother Lu heard this, she calmed down her doubts and said, "As long as you listen to what I said."

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved when she saw that her doubts about herself had dissipated.

Not long after, Aunt Rong and Lu Xingyan came back.

"Old madam, these are the gold leaves I got back from Cai Die Niang. There are exactly two pieces." Aunt Rong took the gold leaves and stepped forward.

"Give it back to Madam," Mother Lu said.

"Madam." Aunt Rong turned to give the gold leaf to Qiao Jingjing.

"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt Rong." Qiao Jingjing took it and said gratefully.

Aunt Rong smiled and shook her head, then retreated behind Mother Lu.

"Ayan, take some more money with you and go to the pawn shop to redeem the jade bracelet." Mother Lu thought about it and then ordered, and handed over the pawn certificate of the silver note and the jade bracelet. Lu Xingyan.

"Okay." Lu Xingyan reached out and took it.

When he went out, he met Lu Xingzhi who was coming back from outside.

"Brother." He called.

Lu Xingzhi asked: "Want to go out?"

Lu Xingyan nodded, "Yes, I'm going to the pawn shop in town to help my sister-in-law redeem the jade bracelet."

Lu Xingzhi was puzzled, "What happened?"

"I'm in a hurry to go to town, so I won't tell you. My sister-in-law and mother are still in the main room. You can go in and ask yourself." After Lu Xingyan finished speaking, he left directly.

Lu Xingzhi frowned, and then went straight into the main room.

When he entered, Qiao Jingjing had already gone back to the house, and only Mother Lu and Aunt Rong were talking there.

"Where did A Xing go today? Why are you back now?" Mother Lu asked when she saw him coming in.

"I went to do some things." Lu Xingzhi said lightly, "By the way, I just met Xingyan outside the door. What happened at home? Why is Jingjing's jade bracelet in the pawn shop?"

Mother Lu sighed, "It was Cai Die. She stole the jade bracelet I gave to Jingjing and pawned it at the pawn shop. Fortunately, she found it in time. I just asked Ayan to redeem the bracelet."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he already understood.

Mother Lu added: "But today's incident reminded me that it was too hasty to invite people from the village to do things at home.

Everyone is too familiar and difficult to manage, so I decided to send back all the villagers I invited before. "

Lu Xingzhi had long felt that this matter was inappropriate, but his mother was nostalgic and out of sympathy, it was difficult to refuse the villagers who came to help.

He had mentioned it to her, but she had always dismissed it.

He suddenly figured it out today, which surprised him a little.

But is it really because Cai Die stole something?
He always felt that things were not that simple. "Besides stealing things, has Cai Die done anything else?" Lu Xingzhi sat down on the chair and asked casually.

Mother Lu then said: "Caidie is an unruly person. Just because he is from the same village, he acts recklessly. Not only does he steal things, but he also says unpleasant things to Jingjing.

That girl Jingjing was also honest. She was so angry that after slapping her, she was afraid that Cai Die would cause trouble, so she even used gold leaves to gag her. "

Speaking of this, Mother Lu shook her head and added, "Although this girl is smart, she has never been through anything and is not calm enough when encountering problems. You should teach her more when you have time. After all, the capital is not as good as the countryside." .”

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "I understand."

Mother Lu glanced at him and said warmly: "If you have nothing to do, just go back to the house and stay with Jingjing. I see that you have been running out these past few days, so don't neglect others."

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment and then said, "I understand."

"Then go back to the house quickly." A smile appeared on Mother Lu's face.

When Lu Xingzhi returned to the house, he saw Qiao Jingjing tidying up the house.

Seeing him come in, Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, a little surprised. This man came back a little early today.

"Husband." She lowered her eyes and greeted.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at the things in the room, looking like they had been rummaged through.

"Did you lose your bracelet?"

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she knew that he had already met Mother Lu before returning to the house.

She nodded and said, "Yes." Seeing that the room was a little messy, she explained, "When I found out that the bracelet was missing, I thought I had thrown it somewhere. I was in a hurry, so I rummaged through the room."

Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything, rolled up his sleeves, and helped to rearrange the messed up things.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing said softly: "Husband, if you have something to do, go and do it. I'll just come here."

"I have nothing to do." Lu Xingzhi said in a low voice without stopping what he was doing.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she didn't say anything else, lowered her head and continued to organize things.

After a moment, Lu Xingzhi suddenly turned his head and glanced at her, "Caidie was rude to you, why didn't you tell me?"

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, but quickly understood what he was referring to.

She put down what she was doing, pinched the corners of her clothes awkwardly and said, "What she said at that time was really unpleasant, but I also slapped her, but she was right, we are all from the same village, so Familiar.

It was really embarrassing and not very good, so I didn’t tell you.

I just didn’t expect that she would be so bold as to steal my jade bracelet, which my mother gave me..."

Lu Xingzhi listened quietly, then suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her and said, "Since it's someone else's fault, you can just beat them. There's no need to feel guilty, and there's no need to use money to silence others.

Because if you do that, it will only encourage the other person's arrogance, and they will not take you seriously. "

Qiao Jingjing thought to herself, it seemed that Mother Lu had told him everything.

She lowered her head and said obediently: "I understand, and I will definitely not do that again next time."

Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes and looked at her.

She looked so well-behaved and quiet at this time.

If he hadn't known that she had threatened Shen Tingzhi, he would have been deceived by her honest and harmless appearance.

After she slapped Cai Die, she probably gave Cai Die a golden leaf on purpose. Then Cai Die would think that she was being manipulated, so that Cai Die later dared to steal the jade bracelet and was kicked out. Lu family.

At the same time, because of this incident, my mother woke up to the disadvantages of inviting acquaintances to work at home.

With one move, she drove away Cai Die and made her mother realize that it was not easy.

Is she really still the same Qiao Jingjing?
