After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 20 We are husband and wife, there is no need for that
Lu Xingzhi saw the annoyance on the girl's face.

He paused, vaguely understanding what she was upset about.

Thinking of yesterday's incident, he felt a little uncomfortable.

After a while, he coughed lightly and broke the silence, "Have you told your father-in-law about going to the capital?"

His sudden voice made Qiao Jingjing stunned for a moment before she realized, "Dad, he doesn't want to go to the capital with us."

"Why?" Lu Xingzhi frowned slightly.

"Dad can't bear to leave Xingzi Village." Qiao Jingjing said and sighed, "I always think that I can take care of my father by taking him with me, but I never considered that it is difficult to leave my hometown, and the elderly will be reluctant to leave their hometown."

Lu Xingzhi paused and said with relief: "In that case, don't force it. When we are free in the future, we will come back to see him. Or in two years, when my father-in-law is older, we will take him to the capital to take care of him."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded, thinking of something, she asked, "I stayed at Qiao's house yesterday, mother... didn't say anything, right?"

"No, I explained it to my mother, she can understand." Lu Xing knew.

Qiao Jingjing felt a little relieved after hearing this.

However, even though Lu Xingzhi told Mother Lu, after returning to the Lu family, Qiao Jingjing still went to see Mother Lu first.

As for her sudden return to Qiao's house yesterday and staying at Qiao's house again, Mother Lu didn't say anything, but Lu Shuangshuang said in a strange way: "Some people really don't take their husband's family seriously. This mother's family will go back when they want. Not a word."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at her and ignored her.

Sure enough, Mother Lu frowned and glanced at Lu Shuangshuang, "Jingjing also decided to stay at Qiao's house temporarily. Your brother has already told me."

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, he said with some dissatisfaction: "Brother is really too indulgent to some people."

Qiao Jingjing almost laughed out loud when she heard this. Lu Xingzhi was her husband, so what if he indulged her? Was it her sister-in-law's turn to make irresponsible remarks here?

She deliberately looked shy and said: "Husband...he does indulge me a little. I will tell him when I look back."

Lu Shuangshuang choked for a long time before sneering, "How shameless!"

Qiao Jingjing looked at her in surprise, "Why did Shuangshuang say this? Why am I... so shameless?"

"Qiao Jingjing, if others don't know you, why don't I know you? Don't you just rely on your beauty to seduce my brother, turn a deaf ear to him, and let him favor you?" Lu Shuangshuang looked disdainful.

Qiao Jingjing looked embarrassed, "I, I didn't seduce him, we are husband and wife, there is no need for that..."

Lu Shuangshuang's face turned green and red, and he said with shame and anger: "Qiao Jingjing, why are you so shameless?"

Qiao Jingjing looked innocent, "What, what did I do?"

Lu Shuangshuang blushed, "You..."

"Shuangshuang!" Mother Lu scolded in a deep voice, "You are a girl who has not yet left the court. You should pay attention to your words. If you say those words and spread them, you will make people laugh."

Lu Shuangshuang was very angry, "I didn't say anything. It's her. She looks like a vixen. She has only been married for a few days and she has already attracted her brother to her everywhere. No matter how much mother protects her, be careful and she will crawl to you in the future." The boss is domineering!"

Mother Lu patted the table with an ugly expression, "If you keep talking nonsense, you don't have to go to the capital!"

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, he glared at Qiao Jingjing angrily, "Qiao Jingjing, you are so awesome. Even my mother is attracted to you. Are you satisfied?"

Qiao Jingjing: "..." Mother Lu was so angry that her brain hurt, and she raised her hand to rub her temples.

"It would be great if my brother married Sister Hao Hao." Lu Shuangshuang suddenly said this and ran out angrily.

Sister Hao?

Qiao Jingjing was startled.

Who is this?
Mother Lu frowned and said, "Jingjing, Shuangshuang has such a temper, don't worry about it."

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and nodded obediently, "I know, I won't care."

After hearing this, Mother Lu was very satisfied and said, "I have nothing to do here. You can go back to the house and pack your things. We will leave early tomorrow morning."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing responded.

……

On the other side, Lu Xingzhi was sorting letters in the room, when Lin Jiu walked in.

"Sir." Lin Jiu bowed.

Lu Xingzhi raised his eyes and said, "Do you have any clues about Xiaoyaosan?"

Lin Jiu frowned, shook his head, and said with shame: "Our people are staring at Shen Tingzhi every day, but there is no movement at all from that guy. He is having fun and drinking every day, as if he is not worried about that matter at all, but He obviously left Sifang Town immediately after Madam threatened him that day."

After Lu Xingzhi pondered for a moment, he said calmly: "The benefits that Xiaoyao Powder can bring are so rich that Shen Tingzhi may not be willing to destroy it at all, but I didn't expect that he would be so calm."

Lin Jiudao: "Yes, except for the day when he was threatened by the madam, he was furious, but there was no movement afterwards. He was eating, drinking and having fun every day. No one could have imagined that he was doing such things secretly.

But he is not afraid that the incident will come to light, or will Madam tell you? "

"In doing this kind of business, he is always taking risks. When he learned that Qiao Jingjing actually knew his secret, he should have decided to destroy the Xiaoyaosan stronghold.

But I guess that Zhi Xiaoyaosan's stronghold was huge and he was reluctant to destroy it. Seeing that Qiao Jingjing had no other actions, he was sure that Qiao Jingjing would not tell the story, so he suppressed it. "

Lin Jiu heard the words and said hesitantly: "Madam seems to know a lot about Shen Tingzhi, sir... why don't you ask Madam personally, maybe Madam really knows Xiaoyaosan's stronghold, which is better than our people searching like headless flies. "

Lu Xingzhi shook his head, "She probably doesn't know where Xiaoyaosan's stronghold is. What she said that day was just a bluff."

Lin Jiu felt a little regretful, "That's right. Madam has not known Shen Tingzhi for a long time. She would know Shen Tingzhi's secret. I am afraid that Shen Tingzhi's entourage leaked it and she heard it.

As for Zhi Xiaoyaosan's lair, it was so secret, how could she know? "

Lu Xingzhi was noncommittal.

"But Shen Tingzhi has been investigated by his subordinates and found to be ruthless and despicable. Now that he knows that his wife knows his secret, will he just give up?" Lin Jiudao.

"Of course not, but now that Qiao Jingjing has married into my Lu family, Shen Tingzhi is still a little wary. However, he can't do anything to Qiao Jingjing, but he may attack her relatives and friends." Lu Xingzhi narrowed his black eyes slightly.

"To attack Madam's relatives and friends, you mean..." Lin Jiu's heart trembled.

Lu Xingzhi knocked on the table with his fingers and said quietly: "My father-in-law is unwilling to go to the capital with us and stay in Xingzi Village. I am afraid that Shen Tingzhi will take advantage of it. Send some other people to protect them secretly."
