After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 171 Meeting Lin Juren

Qiao Jingjing looked back and saw Lu Xingzhi coming out of the study without any panic.

She didn't think Lu Xingzhi would side with Qiao Qingqing.

Qiao Qingqing, on the other hand, saw that Lu Xingzhi looked unhappy and thought he had heard what she said and was unhappy with Qiao Jingjing.

Thinking about it, she immediately said: "Brother-in-law, sister, she bullied me. When I came so far away, she wouldn't even give me a bowl of tea."

"Are you done?" Lu Xingzhi stood next to Qiao Jingjing, his tone cold.

The smile on Qiao Qingqing's face froze, and when she met his cold eyes, her heart palpitated. But when she saw Qiao Jingjing beside her, her eyes flashed and she couldn't help but said: "Brother-in-law, the matter of the second aunt of the Lu family , it was spread all over the village, and it was quite unpleasant to hear.

Sister, it’s true. This is not a big deal. As for making it known to everyone?
It's better now. Everyone knows that the second aunt of the Lu family has a bad character and commits theft.

Doesn't this discredit the Lu family?
If it were me, I would definitely not care about this matter, and would even try to hide it.

My sister is so ignorant. "

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Lu Xingzhi also remained silent and did not speak.

When Qiao Qingqing saw this, she thought he had annoyed Qiao Jingjing, and she felt a little happy in her heart, but she said, "Sister Jingjing, you are the wife of the Lu family now, so you have to think about the reputation of the Lu family in everything."

Looking at the little white lotus, the corner of Qiao Jingjing's mouth twitched, and she said: "Sister is so considerate of others. In the future, in her husband's house, she must not fight back or scold her. Even if your husband's family steals Don’t blame them for taking your things, after all, you have to think about the reputation of your husband’s family.”

Qiao Qingqing choked.

After a long while, he said angrily: "I'm talking about you, what are you doing to me? I'm not married yet."

"Oh, so you also know that you are not married yet? I thought you had secretly married someone behind our backs. Those are your experiences." Qiao Jingjing's tone was sarcastic.

Qiao Qingqing couldn't help but ran to Lu Xingzhi, "Brother-in-law, you have to talk to my sister properly. What do you think she said? When it reaches other people's ears, will I still be a human being?" "

As soon as she approached, Lu Xingzhi took two steps back and said coldly: "As a woman who has not yet left the court, you go to other people's homes and make irresponsible remarks. If word spreads, you can't be a human being, right?" ?”

Qiao Qingqing was stunned, "I, I also think about my brother-in-law, my sister is like that..."

"I don't need outsiders to worry about my family affairs. Besides, I know better than you what kind of person Jingjing is." Lu Xingzhi interrupted her impatiently.

Qiao Qingqing's expression froze, "Brother-in-law, I..."

"Come, see the guests off!" Lu Xingzhi didn't bother to pay attention to her and directly ordered his servants.

"Miss Qingqing, please." Qingyuan came over and made a gesture.

Qiao Qingqing saw that Lu Xingzhi didn't even look at her and Qiao Jingjing ignored her, and she was so angry that her eyes were red.

She pointed at Qiao Jingjing and said angrily: "I will definitely tell my second uncle when I go back that you bullied me."

Qiao Jingjing was surprised, "Why did I bully you? You said bad things about me in front of me and sow discord in front of my husband. Should I remain silent and let you run wild?"

Qiao Qingqing's face turned green and red, and she was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that Lu Xingzhi had a cold face and showed no intention of helping her, she felt that she had no shame in staying any longer, stamped her feet and ran away.

Seeing that she finally left, Qiao Jingjing felt relaxed and turned to look at Lu Xingzhi, "By the way, what were you going to show me just now?"

Looking at the girl's eyes as clear as glass, Lu Xingzhi suddenly didn't want her to see the painting anymore.

"Let's talk about it after we return to Beijing." Finally, he whispered.

When he returned to the capital, he would ask Xia Houxi to explain to her in person.

Otherwise, no matter how much he explains, she may not believe it.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing shrugged, "Okay. By the way, how long can we stay in Xingzi Village? Have you taken care of all the affairs in Chuzhou City?"

"The affairs in Chuzhou City are almost settled. When the officials appointed by the emperor arrive, we can return to Beijing." Lu Xing knew.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing quickly asked: "How long will it take?"

"Xia Houxi should have returned to the capital. It will take at least seven or eight days for the emperor to re-appoint officials." Lu Xing knew.

"So, we can stay in Xingzi Village for about seven days?" Qiao Jingjing said happily.

Lu Xingzhi paused and said, "I'm going to Chuzhou City tomorrow. Next, you may have to stay here alone." "Didn't you say that the affairs in Chuzhou City have been almost handled? You still want to go back. ?" Qiao Jingjing was surprised.

"The affairs are almost settled, but the officials in Chuzhou City have not arrived yet, so I need to stay there for the time being." Lu Xingzhi explained.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him thoughtfully. Could this guy be in a hurry to go to Chuzhou City to be with his sweetheart?
Thinking about it, she said nothing more and just nodded, "Yeah."

Lu Xingzhi paused and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk in the town?"

Qiao Jingjing had this plan, nodded and said, "Okay, we can have dinner at my dad's place and then come back."

"Ah."

The two took a carriage and went to the town.

She didn't feel it even though she was sitting in the carriage. As soon as she got out of the carriage, the cold wind blew against her face, and Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but shiver.

Lu Xingzhi saw her, shook her hand, and found some ice, so he said, "It's so cold, why don't we go back?"

Qiao Jingjing retracted her hand, wrapped her cloak around her body and said, "It's okay. Let's finish shopping first and then go back. By the way, let's have antique soup tonight."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi had no objection.

The two were about to walk to the market. At this moment, an uncertain voice shouted from behind: "Okay... do you know?"

The couple both turned back.

I saw a thin middle-aged man standing not far behind him.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Xingzhi doubtfully, "Who is he?"

Lu Xingzhi paused and looked at her deeply, "Don't you recognize her, madam?"

Qiao Jingjing was startled, looked at the man again, and said cautiously: "Should I...know him?"

"He is Lin Juren." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Qiao Jingjing's face froze.

Is he Lin Juren?

"I wasn't sure just now. I thought I saw it wrong, but I didn't expect it was really you." Lin Juren had already walked over and said with a smile.

"How are you doing, Mr. Lin?" Lu Xingzhi asked slowly.

Lin Juren nodded, "It's still the same. Xingzhi, I heard that you have been promoted again, which is really gratifying."

"Thank you sir." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Lin Juren then turned his gaze to Qiao Jingjing, "This must be your wife."

"It's my wife." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing had come to her senses at this time and immediately added: "Lin Juren, when I came to town before, I passed by the school and heard you giving lectures to the students."

"Oh, is there anything else?" Lin Juren suddenly became interested.

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing nodded and glanced at Lu Xingzhi from the corner of her eye.

Seeing that he didn't react at all, I felt relieved.

Fortunately, she was smart, otherwise she would have been betrayed by using Lin Juren's excuse.

But if she had known she would bump into Lin Juren today, she wouldn't have come to town no matter what.

Afraid that Lu Xingzhi would ask Lin Juren about the poem, she said, "Lin Juren, come to the village to play when you are free. My husband and I have something to do, so I have to excuse myself first."

Hearing this, Lin Juren was about to nod, but Lu Xing heard: "Madam, just take someone to buy it. I haven't seen Mr. Lin for a long time, and I want to play two games of chess with him."

Lin Juren smiled and said, "Xingzhi's words speak to my heart. Let's go to my house now." After saying that, he came to pull Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi looked at Qiao Jingjing helplessly, "Madam, Mr. Lin and I will go first. After you finish shopping later, remember to pick me up at Lin's house."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She wanted to stop her, but the man had already followed Lin Juren away.
