After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 206: He didn’t tell me about the misunderstanding and spread rumors that he likes men.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she looked at him but hesitated to speak.

Since he was not ill, why had he never thought of consummating his marriage with her before?

When we first got married, we could still understand it, after all, they were not familiar with each other.

Coupled with the incident caused by the original owner, it is human nature for him to reject her.

But during the trip to Chuzhou, the relationship between the two has changed. Shouldn't it be a matter of course?

Especially once, when the two of them kissed like that, he was still indifferent.

Therefore, it is actually normal for her to misunderstand.

Lu Xingzhi didn't know what she was thinking, so he said warmly: "You have a good rest, I'm going to the study."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she was relieved but also a little disappointed.

On the one hand, I'm glad he didn't continue because it hurt too much.

On the other hand, I was a little disappointed that he was so calm and pulled away immediately.

"Yeah." Finally, she pursed her lips and nodded.

After Lu Xingzhi put on his outer robe, he went to the study.

Looking at the pile of official documents.

He calmed down and began to deal with it.

When he finished processing, it was already the moon and the zenith.

He raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow.

"Sir, do you want to rest in Madam's courtyard, or just in Qingsong Hall?" At this time, Dong Lai came in to ask for instructions.

If in the past, he didn't need to ask for instructions, the Lord would have rested directly in Qingsong Hall if he was doing business so late.

But during this period, the lord rested with his wife every night. He was not sure what the lord was thinking, so he came to ask for instructions.

Lu Xingzhi looked at the sky outside. It was already so late, and Qiao Jingjing must have fallen asleep.

He still wanted to take a bath, and if he went there, he would definitely disturb her.

Thinking of this, he ordered: "Go prepare water and rest at Qingsong Hall tonight."

"Yes." Dong Lai responded and immediately went down.

When Lu Xingzhi returned to the dormitory, hot water was ready in the clean room.

After taking off his clothes and taking a shower, he came out and lay on the bed, but he was not sleepy.

Something was bothering him.

At that moment, Jingjing seemed to be very uncomfortable, with pain on her face...

Lu Xingzhi pursed his thin lips and frowned tightly.

At dawn the next day, he got up, washed and changed clothes, and went to court.

up.

The young emperor Longyan Dayue first commended Lu Xingzhi and other people regarding the Chuzhou incident, and rewarded them based on their merits.

Especially for Lu Xingzhi.

The words were quite appreciative.

"Lu Aiqing really did not disappoint me. The Chuzhou matter was handled very well this time."

"Thank you for your honor." Lu Xingzhi looked calm and composed.

After that, the monarch and his ministers discussed some other matters before leaving the court.

It was the end of the year, and except for the Rites Department, which was relatively busy, the other five departments were all at leisure, and all the officials looked relaxed.

Only the people in the Ministry of Rites were not only busy with the royal New Year sacrifices, but also entertaining the envoys from Wu Ting Kingdom. They were so busy that their feet never touched the ground.

When the court dismissed, the officials went out in twos and threes.

Lu Xingzhi was keenly aware that some officials looked at him with secretive eyes and hesitated to speak several times.

"What do you want to say?" He said calmly. The officials were a little embarrassed when they saw his glance, and wanted to speak, but they seemed to have scruples.

In the end, they laughed and said, "Master Lu, he has gained another job this time. It is really gratifying to congratulate him."

Lu Xingzhi knew that they were perfunctory with him, so he didn't say much, but turned his attention to Xia Houxi.

Unexpectedly, this guy who usually always had a playful smile and loved to get close to him was uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. Not only did he not come up to him, he even acted like he wished he could put a few feet away from him.

Lu Xingzhi paused, seeing his avoidance in his eyes, and said calmly: "What do you have to say?"

Xia Houxi saw that he was trying hard to reduce his presence, but unexpectedly, he was noticed by this guy.

Seeing his eyes, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said in a defensive tone: "I don't have that kind of hobby, you can find someone else."

Lu Xingzhi was confused, "What's your hobby?"

Xia Houxi's eyes averted for a moment and he said humbly, "You don't need me to say it to your face anymore, do you?"

Lu Xingzhi saw the strange looks from around him, his handsome face darkened, "Say!"

Although Xia Houxi had a good relationship with him, she was most afraid of him looking downcast.

The stern look on his face was comparable to that of his father, and it was quite scary.

He patted his chest, calmed down his shock, and lowered his voice: "Lao Lu, we have known you for so long, but I didn't know that you actually like men. You hide it well enough."

Lu Xingzhi's handsome face darkened visibly, and his voice burst out from between his teeth, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Xia Houxi noticed the cold aura emitting from his body and took two steps back spinelessly.

But now that I have said it, I really feel uncomfortable saying it.

Moreover, some things are best explained clearly first.

Thinking about it, he faced the other party's gloomy gaze, cleared his throat and said: "We all have a good relationship with each other. I won't laugh at you, but I have to explain in advance that I don't have that kind of hobby. Although I am good friends with you, , but I like women, and I will never let myself down for you, and do that with you. "

Lu Xingzhi's face turned pale when he heard this, and he glanced at the other officials coldly.

The officials lowered their heads when they saw his gaze, but their retreating movements still revealed their thoughts.

What else does Lu Xingzhi not understand now?
It turns out that the strange behavior of my colleagues today was due to this matter.

He laughed angrily and said, "Xiahou Xi, you are so good at making up things and doing errands in Dali Temple. You are really undermining your talent."

Xia Houxi frowned, "What nonsense are you making up? This is what my wife-in-law told me herself. Lao Lu, I'm not telling you. If you don't like women, you shouldn't marry your sister-in-law. It's just a waste of time for others and makes them a widow." .

As a friend, I advise you to write a letter of release to let your wife regain her freedom.

With the beauty of my sister-in-law, she will definitely be able to marry a man who treats her well. "

After he finished speaking, he saw that his friend's face was covered with frost, looking gloomy and cold.

He couldn't help but shudder.

Hiss, could this guy be so angry that he wants to kill someone and silence him?
He swallowed and said quickly: "It's useless for you to kill me. Now the whole government and the public know about your hobby."

"Xia Houxi, you are very kind!" Lu Xingzhi gritted his teeth.

Xia Houxi felt extremely guilty and said hurriedly: "There are still cases waiting for me to deal with in Dali Temple. I'll leave first." After that, he ran as fast as a ghost chasing him behind him.

"Lord Lu, I'm going to take the first step." Seeing that Lu Xingzhi looked bad, the other officials also left one after another.

After a while, the officials were all gone.

Lu Xingzhi pursed his thin lips tightly, and his brows were stained with anger.

He didn't expect that Qiao Jingjing not only misunderstood him, but also spread rumors that he liked men.

He raised his hand to his forehead and suddenly lost his temper.

After leaving the palace gate, he was about to get on the carriage when a voice suddenly sounded from behind him, "Master Lu?"

Lu Xingzhi looked back and saw that it was Fu Nanxiu. He nodded slightly and said, "Master Fu."

Fu Nanxiu looked very happy when he saw him, "I haven't seen him for a while, but I met him today. I wonder if I have the honor to buy you a drink?"

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he remembered what his father said last night.

Fu Nanxiu wants to marry Lu Shuangshuang.
