After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 172 The lie was exposed

"Madam, should we go shopping now, or should we go shopping first?" At this time, Mallow asked.

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and said uneasily: "Just go shopping. After shopping, go pick up the adults."

She was worried that Lu Xingzhi would ask him about those poems if he stayed with Lin Juren.

Just ask Lin Juren and the lies she made up before will be exposed.

Thinking of this, she became anxious.

After she and the two maids finished shopping separately, she asked Chongxi to take her to the Lin family.

When they arrived at Lin's house, Lu Xingzhi and Lin Juren were playing chess in the yard. Neither of them spoke. They both looked serious. The yard was also quiet.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them were busy playing chess, so they probably didn't have the intention to talk about anything else, right?
She felt relieved and walked over slowly.

When Aunt Lin saw her coming, she invited her to the house for tea.

"They are playing chess, I'm afraid they are not that fast. Let's go inside and talk."

"Thank you, Aunt Lin, I'm really annoying you." Qiao Jingjing said.

Hearing this, Aunt Lin waved her hands and said, "Don't say that. You are willing to come to the humble house because you think highly of Lao Lin. It's too late for us to be happy."

"What Aunt Lin said is embarrassing. What do you think you look down upon? We are all from the same town." Qiao Jingjing said hurriedly.

"Xingzhi's wife is really good at talking." Aunt Lin looked at her with a smile.

Qiao Jingjing looked embarrassed.

At this moment, a young man walked in outside.

He may not have noticed that there was a guest in the room, so he asked Aunt Lin excitedly, "Is the guy playing chess with dad outside brother Xingzhi?"

Aunt Lin coughed lightly, "You little bastard, you came in and didn't call anyone first."

Only then did the young man notice Qiao Jingjing sitting beside him.

When he turned his eyes to her, he was stunned and blurted out: "Fairy!"

"Pfft!" Qiao Jingjing was drinking tea. When she heard this, she spat out a mouthful of water.

"What are you talking nonsense about? This is brother Xingzhi's wife, you want to call me sister-in-law." Aunt Lin slapped the young man on the shoulder and said angrily.

The young man came back to his senses and looked at Qiao Jingjing, "Aren't you a fairy?"

Although it was a bit unexpected, Qiao Jingjing was somewhat pleased.

"Have you ever seen any fairy as embarrassed as me?" She pointed at the tea stains on her clothes and asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the young man scratched his head and said, "That's true. But my sister is the most beautiful person I have ever seen."

"What sister? I call you sister-in-law!" Aunt Lin was furious, "You are such a big person, but you are still young."

The young man disagreed and said, "My sister is very young. Calling me sister-in-law makes me feel old."

"Are you still reasonable?" Aunt Lin pretended to be angry.

Qiao Jingjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She could see that Aunt Lin looked fierce to the boy, but her eyes were full of love for him.

"Auntie, it doesn't matter what you call me." She spoke out to save her.

"Look, my sister doesn't mind." The young man became more confident.

Aunt Lin gave him a helpless look and said to Qiao Jingjing, "This child has been spoiled by me and Lao Lin, making you laugh."

"No, Mr. Ling is quite good." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Sister, please sit down for a while. I'll go out to watch brother Xingzhi and dad play chess." After the boy finished speaking, he went out.

Aunt Lin was extremely helpless.

Qiao Jingjing sat for a while longer. When she saw that the time was almost up, she went to the yard to watch Lu Xingzhi and Lin Juren play chess.

The two just finished playing a game of chess, and Lin Juren sighed, "We haven't played chess together for a long time, and Xingzhi's chess skills have improved again."

"Sir, I agreed." Lu Xingzhi was humble and polite. "Since my husband has finished playing chess, let's go back first. It's getting late." Qiao Jingjing took the opportunity to say.

Lin Juren was still unsatisfied, but in the end he did not try to hold him back anymore, "Next time I have a chance, I will ask Xingzhi for advice."

"I don't dare to take it. If there is a chance, I will play a few more games with you." Lu Xingzhi stood up and thought of something, and then said, "By the way, my wife said before..."

Qiao Jingjing's heart skipped a beat and she quickly held his arm, "Let's go quickly. It will get dark soon and the road will be difficult to walk."

Lu Xingzhi paused, looked down at her, and said with a slight smile on his lips, "Yeah."

"Let's go, let's go." Qiao Jingjing took his hand and dragged him out.

Lu Xingzhi's eyes were full of smiles.

After putting the couple into the carriage, Aunt Lin said with emotion: "The relationship between the young couple is really good."

Qiao Jingjing heard this in the carriage and immediately let go of Lu Xingzhi's hand.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and didn't care.

After a while, the carriage started driving and headed for Xingzi Village.

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Lu Xingzhi suddenly said: "I should have asked Lin Juren for advice on poetry just now."

Qiao Jingjing, who had relaxed, felt her heart lift again after hearing this.

Lu Xingzhi's tone was full of regret. She was afraid that he would go to see Lin Juren in private again and ask about the poem, so she said, "Lin Juren doesn't have that much free time. Besides, don't you want to go to Chuzhou to ask for advice on poetry?" Let’s talk about it later when we have a chance.”

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he turned to look at her with a smile.

Qiao Jingjing quietly clenched her fingertips. Was her behavior too abrupt?
"Madam is right," Lu Xingzhi said warmly after a while.

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

Fortunately, Lu Xingzhi didn't mention going to Lin Juren again.

But she didn't know that as soon as the couple left, Lin Juren took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, looked at the poem on the paper, and said with emotion: "Xingzhi is really knowledgeable and talented. No wonder he is so young at such a young age." It has already achieved this level of success.”

Hearing this, Mr. Lin asked curiously: "What is that dad holding in his hand?"

"These are two poems written by your brother Xingzhi." Lin Juren handed the paper to him.

Mr. Lin took it and after reading the poem on the paper, he was greatly shocked, "This poem is so wonderful."

"Exactly." Lin Juren nodded.

When they arrived at Xingzi Village, Qiao Jingjing and Lu Xingzhi went directly to Qiao's house.

When she got off the bus in front of Qiao's house, Qiao Jingjing saw Qiao Qingqing walking out of the door.

Seeing Qiao Jingjing, Qiao Qingqing snorted coldly and turned away.

Qiao Jingjing didn't know her well, so she gave Mallow Qingyuan a few words and then went in first with Lu Xingzhi.

When she entered, Father Qiao and Mrs. Xu were talking in the room.

Seeing the two people arriving, he was obviously a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Why, don't your parents welcome us?" Qiao Jingjing asked with a smile. .

"Are you talking nonsense?" Father Qiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly welcomed the two of them into the house.

Mrs. Xu also smiled and said, "Seeing that you didn't come today, your father plans to go to the Lu family to find you tomorrow."

"I have wanted to come here for a long time, but I was afraid of disturbing my parents' wedding ceremony." Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

Mrs. Xu gave her an angry look, "You girl, you are getting more and more naughty."

Qiao Jingjing hugged her arm affectionately, "I'm telling the truth."

Mrs. Xu shook her head helplessly, "I can't help you."

Qiao's father said to Lu Xing: "A Xing, let's sit down and drink tea first."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi nodded.
