After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 18 He must have misunderstood that she wanted to seduce him

A strange look flashed across his eyes, and he suddenly said: "If nothing unexpected happens, I will go to the capital the day after tomorrow."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, "So fast?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and said calmly: "This time when I return to my hometown, the emperor only allowed me half a month's leave. I will set off back to Beijing the day after tomorrow, and I am in a hurry. When the time comes, I will have to speed up my trip. "

Qiao Jingjing thought for a while, put down what she was doing, pinched her fingers and asked, "You promised me last time that you would take my father and Aunt Xu to the capital together. Do you... still remember?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her with his cold, dark eyes for a while, then said, "I won't forget what I just said yesterday."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, a smile appeared on her face, "Then... I want to go back in a while to discuss it with my father and the others."

Lu Xingzhi paused and looked away, "Yeah." After thinking about it, he added, "I have nothing to do today, so I can go back with you."

"No!" Qiao Jingjing hurriedly refused. When she saw what he was looking at, she paused and explained, "I mean, you don't have to put down your things for me. I can go back by myself. I'll see you later. I'm going to the capital, and I think you have a lot of things to do."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and nodded, "Okay, then go back by yourself."

Qiao Jingjing took a look at his expression and saw that he looked as usual, probably not displeased. Then she felt relieved and said, "Then about bringing my father and Aunt Xu to Beijing together, do you want to tell my parents first?" One sound?"

"I'll just go ahead and talk about this matter." Lu Xing knew.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and felt very grateful.

Seeing the handsome and gentle man with his sleeves rolled up and helping to organize things, she thought about it and felt that she should also express something.

Thinking about it, she took two steps closer and pulled his sleeve, "Husband..."

"Huh?" Lu Xingzhi just turned his head and saw the girl standing on tiptoes and coming closer.

He was startled.

Looking at the beautiful face so close, he pursed his lower lip and suddenly turned his head slightly.

The man's silent rejection made Qiao Jingjing's courage disappear in an instant. At the same time, she was still a little embarrassed.

She immediately let go of his sleeve and stepped back.

For a moment, the room fell into silence, and the embarrassment spread silently.

Qiao Jingjing's face was hot and red, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

"I'll ask Lin Jiu to take you back."

After a moment, the man's cold voice broke the embarrassment.

Qiao Jingjing stabilized her mind and said calmly: "Okay."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her blushing face, pursed his thin lips, and turned around to go out.

……

Until she returned to Qiao's house, Qiao Jingjing's face was still hot and red, and she deeply regretted the stupid thing she had done.

Why did she get so excited at that time that she wanted to thank Lu Xingzhi in that way?

Lu Xingzhi must have misunderstood that she wanted to seduce him...

Thinking of this, she felt ashamed again.

But then I thought about it, they were a couple, so a kiss wouldn’t be a big deal, right?

But Lu Xingzhi's behavior at that time was so calm. In contrast, her behavior was so frivolous.

"Madam, the Qiao family has arrived."

At this time, Lin Jiu's warning voice sounded outside.

Qiao Jingjing came to her senses, patted her hot face gently, stood up and got out of the carriage.

Looking at Lin Jiu who was waiting by the carriage, she thought for a moment and said, "I want to stay at Qiao's house tonight. You don't have to wait for me. You go back first." Lin Jiu was a little embarrassed, "But..."

"It's okay. I will explain it to my husband when I go back tomorrow," Qiao Jingjing said.

Such an embarrassing thing happened today, and she needed to slow down.

"The subordinate will go back first and pick you up tomorrow." Lin Jiu said.

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

After Lin Jiu drove away, she turned around and entered Qiao's house.

It was already evening, and the setting sun slanted into the yard, coating it with a layer of golden color.

"Jingjing?" Father Qiao, who was returning from watering vegetables in the back garden, was surprised to see her come in.

"Dad." Qiao Jingjing walked over.

Father Qiao put down the barrel in his hand, looked her over, and said solemnly, "Why did you suddenly come back and have a quarrel with A Xing?"

Qiao Jingjing couldn't laugh or cry, "How could you think so? Of course not."

Father Qiao still looked uneasy, "Really?"

"It's true, we didn't quarrel, we were fine." Qiao Jingjing said helplessly.

Only then did Father Qiao feel relieved, "It's okay if you don't have it! You came back just in time. Your cousin just sent a hare over. I'll clean it up and stew it for you later."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing quickly grabbed him and said, "Dad, don't be busy now. We'll do it later. I have something to tell you."

"What happened?" Father Qiao was surprised.

Qiao Jingjing paused for a moment before saying, "Dad, it's like this. I will go to the capital with Lu Xingzhi the day after tomorrow, and I want to take you and Aunt Xu with me."

"Going to the capital?" Father Qiao was stunned.

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Yes, I have discussed it with Lu Xingzhi. He is willing to take you and Aunt Xu with him, and he will also settle you down in Jingcheng."

When Father Qiao heard this, his expression was a little complicated and he remained silent.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing frowned and asked, "Don't you want to go to the capital, dad?"

Father Qiao came back to his senses, looked at his simple yard, and sighed, "When I was young, I actually went to the capital and saw its prosperity and excitement.

But no matter how prosperous the capital is, in my opinion, it cannot compare to our Xingzi Village.

Maybe I was too young at that time and couldn't adapt to it, so I didn't stay long before returning to my hometown. "

After Qiao Jingjing listened quietly, she already understood what he was thinking.

She held his arm and said, "If dad doesn't want to go, I won't force him. As long as I'm free, I will come back to visit you and Aunt Xu."

Father Qiao touched his daughter's head and opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just said apologetically: "I know you want me to go to the capital together because you can't let me go, but Jingjing, since you are married , don’t worry about me too much, just follow Ah Xing and live a good life.

If I have the chance, I will also go to the capital to see you. "

Looking at Qiao's father's vicissitudes of life, Qiao Jingjing felt sour in her heart, "Actually, I really hope that dad can go to the capital with me, so that I can take care of you.

And Aunt Xu has never been to the capital in her life, so I really want to take her there. "

"It's okay, your Aunt Xu and I are still young, and we will still have opportunities in the future." Father Qiao smiled, "We are already satisfied that you have this intention."

Qiao Jingjing's eyes flashed with moisture, "Since dad doesn't want to go to the capital now, then I will give you another two years. By then, no matter what you say, you must obey my arrangements."

Father Qiao laughed, "Okay."
