After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 180 Whose child is Jingjing your child with?

After the couple returned to their room, Father Qiao frowned and looked worried.

"Old Qiao, these days, I always feel that you have something on your mind, but why don't you say it?" Mrs. Xu couldn't help but ask when she saw it.

Father Qiao sighed, "I just think this girl Jingjing is too good to us."

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu said funnyly: "If Jingjing hears what you said, she will be unhappy. She is your biological daughter, is it wrong for her to be filial to you?"

When Father Qiao heard this, he hesitated to speak, "Actually..."

"Actually what?" Xu asked with concern.

Father Qiao met her concerned gaze, paused, and suddenly sighed, "There is one thing that I have hidden from everyone..."

"What's going on?" Xu was surprised.

"I..." Father Qiao paused and then said, "Actually, I didn't marry a wife back then."

Xu was stunned and looked at him in surprise, thinking she had heard wrongly.

It took her a long time before she realized what she was doing, grabbed his hand, and asked eagerly: "You... never married back then?"

"No." Father Qiao shook his head.

Mrs. Xu was extremely surprised, but when she thought of something, she frowned again, "Then Jingjing... whose child is you and her?"

Father Qiao was a little hesitant, but when he thought that the words had come to this point, and that Mrs. Xu was no one else, he simply didn't hide it anymore, "Jingjing... is not my child. I have never married a wife, nor have I ever had a woman. "

Mrs. Xu looked at him suspiciously, "But everyone in the village said that when you went to the capital, you found a girl to marry, but the girl was in poor health and died in childbirth when she gave birth to Jingjing, so you were disheartened. Then, I took Jingjing back to Xingzi Village."

Father Qiao sighed, "I spread that on purpose. After all, I rashly brought back a daughter. If I didn't say that, there would definitely be gossip, which would be detrimental to Jingjing's growth."

After hearing this, Xu already believed what he said.

After all, the two of them have known each other for so long and have a thorough understanding of each other's temperaments.

Father Qiao would never lie to her.

"But in that case, no good girl will be willing to marry you. You don't actually have to say that." Mrs. Xu couldn't help but feel distressed when she thought of the bitterness of raising Jingjing alone for so many years.

Father Qiao said nonchalantly: "When I went to the capital, I always wanted to make a lot of money. But when I went there, I realized that it was not what I thought. I stayed in the capital for several years, but I didn't make much money. As I got older, I passed the age of marrying a wife, and my parents died early, so I never thought about marrying.

After picking up Jingjing, he just wanted to raise her. "

"Old Qiao, you are so kind-hearted." Xu's eyes were moist.

"I think it's fate. When I left the capital, I was a little disheartened. On the way back to my hometown, the weather was freezing. I suddenly saw Jingjing on the roadside and thought it was a gift from God. I was I was very happy and took Jingjing back to Xingzi Village regardless.

But thinking about it now, I should have waited where I was. Maybe Jingjing’s biological parents would come to find her. "When Father Qiao said this, he looked very regretful.

"You picked up Jingjing on a heavy snow day, right? In such a cold weather, no matter how careless the parents are, they will not lose their children on the roadside. Fortunately, you met Jingjing, otherwise Jingjing was still so young at that time. It's hard." Xu said.

Father Qiao nodded, "The winter that year was very cold. On the day of heavy snowfall, there was ice and snow everywhere. When I found Jingjing, her face was purple from the cold, and her cry was very weak."

"It seems that Jingjing's biological parents abandoned her." Mrs. Xu said distressedly.

"I don't know who is so cruel." Father Qiao sighed.

Mrs. Xu paused and said, "In the past few days, you have been worried a lot because you were hesitating whether to tell Jingjing's life experience to her, right?"

"Yes." Father Qiao nodded, "This girl is so well-behaved and filial. Sometimes I feel that I really deserve it, so I want to tell her about her life experience so that she won't miss us so much."

"Don't think so. You have been extremely kind to Jingjing. Even if Jingjing knows her life experience, her concern for you will not change." Xu said firmly.

"But hiding her life experience makes me feel very uneasy." Father Qiao looked sad.

"But if Jingjing knew that she was abandoned by her biological parents, wouldn't she be even more unhappy? After all, that thing was too cruel." Xu said, "I think it's better not to let her know the truth."

Father Qiao thought for a while and felt that what she said made sense, so he nodded, "Then it's better to keep hiding this matter from her."

He hopes that his daughter can be carefree and happy.

...In Qiao Jingjing's house.

Lu Xingzhi came out of the shower and saw Qiao Jingjing sitting by the bed with a lonely look on her face. He paused and walked over, "What's wrong?"

When Qiao Jingjing heard the voice, she came back to her senses and raised her face to look at him.

He had just taken a shower and was wearing a white singlet. He looked extremely handsome, but at this time, she was not in the mood to appreciate him.

She lowered her eyes and shook her head, "It's okay."

"Did you just go out?" Lu Xingzhi put his hand on her hair, picked up a snowflake, and handed it to her.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, "I, I was a little thirsty, so I went to the main room."

Lu Xingzhi looked at her carefully, but didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Let's take a bath first."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing responded and walked directly to the clean room.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi picked up the clothes lying next to the bed and called out to her, "I didn't bring the change of clothes."

Qiao Jingjing then remembered, "Oh."

Lu Xingzhi put the clothes in her hands and said, "Go."

Qiao Jingjing carried her clothes to the clean room.

The tub is filled with hot water.

She sat in absentmindedly, the conversation between Father Qiao and Mrs. Xu just now ringing in her mind.

It snowed today and the weather was cold. After returning to the house, she asked Mallow and Qingyuan to rest.

She ate too many peanuts and was a little thirsty. When Lu Xingzhi went to take a bath, he went to the main room in person to drink some water.

Unexpectedly, I heard the conversation between the two elders.

Unexpectedly, the original owner was not born to Qiao's father, but was actually picked up by Qiao's father on his way back home.

Her biological parents are other people.

She felt so sad.

Feeling sorry for Joe's father.

The two of them are not related by blood, but Qiao's father has sacrificed so much for the original owner, and it is not until now that he gets married.

And if Father Qiao hadn't picked up the original owner and brought him back, the original owner would have died in the ice and snow.

But in the original book, the original owner lost contact with Qiao's father after marrying Shen Ting, causing Qiao's father to die in depression and never being able to see the original owner until his death...

The original owner owed Father Qiao too much.

"Dong dong dong..."

When Qiao Jingjing was deep in thought, there was a sudden knock on the door of the clean room, and then Lu Xingzhi's deep voice came in, "It's cold, don't wash for too long, be careful not to catch a cold."

Qiao Jingjing finally came to her senses and found that the water had already become cold.

She exclaimed and quickly stepped out of the tub.

However, she moved too quickly. When she stepped out, her feet slipped and she fell to the ground with a "pop" sound.

Qiao Jingjing cried out in pain from the fall. Before she could recover, the sound of the door being pushed open and the sound of footsteps were heard.

"What happened..."

The man's voice stopped suddenly.

Qiao Jingjing froze in place.
