After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 207 Lu Xingzhi settles accounts after the fall

He paused and declined, "I have some things to go back to my house to deal with today. I'll drink with you another day."

Fu Nanxiu was a little regretful, but he also knew that the other party was sitting in his current position and was very busy with government affairs, so it was understandable that he had no time.

"In that case, I won't interrupt your business."

Lu Xingzhi nodded and got on the carriage.

But he didn't expect that after he sat down in the carriage, Fu Nanxiu hadn't left yet. He only heard him say from outside the carriage: "Master Lu, please say hello to your sister for me."

Lu Xingzhi was in a confused mood at this time and didn't want to deal with him, so he didn't open the window, just responded and ordered Lin Jiu to set off.

Fu Nanxiu stood there, watching the carriage go away, his handsome face filled with joy.

Early this morning, the matchmaker sent to discuss the marriage received a reply, saying that the Lu family had approved his marriage to Miss Lu, and he could come to discuss the marriage on a selected date.

His mind flashed back to his first meeting with Miss Lu that day at Wen Mo Xuan.

That astonishing beauty was always in his mind, lingering in his mind.

Therefore, some time ago, he finally plucked up the courage and asked his parents to send someone to the Lu family to inquire.

And just now, the Lu family finally sent a reply.

This joy made him even happier than when he won the third prize.

Lu Xingzhi didn't know what Fu Nanxiu was thinking and didn't want to care.

After returning to Lu Mansion, he did not go to the study, but went directly to Meixiangyuan.

But the servant informed that Qiao Jingjing was not in the courtyard, but had gone to Dexin Hall to talk to the old lady.

He had no choice but to rush to Dexintang again.

At that time, Qiao Jingjing was sunbathing in the yard with her mother Lu and Lu Shuangshuang.

The weather has been cloudy for a few days, and it has finally cleared up. The bright sunshine is shining on people, making them warm and very comfortable.

Qiao Jingjing originally didn't want to come to Dexintang today. After all, what happened last night was too embarrassing. She wanted to wait a few days and see Mother Lu again.

But unexpectedly, as soon as she finished her breakfast, Mother Lu sent someone to invite her to come to Dexintang to talk.

She came over bravely.

Contrary to what she had imagined, Mother Lu didn't mention anything about last night's events, and there wasn't the slightest hint of joking in her expression.

This put her mind at ease.

When Lu Shuangshuang came over, Lu's mother suggested playing Landlords.

Unexpectedly, the three of them had only played a few games before Lu Xingzhi came over.

Seeing the man's cold expression, she felt a little guilty for no reason.

"A Xing is back? You haven't had breakfast yet? Aunt Rong, prepare breakfast for the eldest son quickly." Mother Lu ordered.

Aunt Rong was just about to go when she saw Lu Xingzhi shaking his head, "No, I won't eat here."

Mother Lu didn't say anything after hearing this, but as soon as she fired a bomb, she saw her son pulling Qiao Jingjing up.

"Come with me, I have something to tell you."

Qiao Jingjing looked at the half-played cards in her hand, "But it's not over yet..."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, took the playing cards from her hand, and handed them to Aunt Rong, "Just let Aunt Rong play for you."

Aunt Rong, who was stuffed with playing cards: "Master, I don't know how to do this..."

Lu Xingzhi ignored it and pulled Qiao Jingjing away.

Mother Lu frowned when she saw this, "What's wrong with A Xing?"

"Brother seems a little angry." Lu Shuangshuang said.

"What happened?" Mother Lu was very surprised.

I wanted to follow him over and have a look, but thinking about the embarrassing things that happened last night, I finally held back.

He knew his own son best. No matter how angry he was, he would never be violent to Jingjing.

She felt at ease.

"Aunt Rong, sit down and we'll fight."

"Hey, okay." Aunt Rong sat down.

Besides, after Qiao Jingjing was taken away from Dexin Hall by Lu Xingzhi, she was taken to Qingsong Hall.

Seeing the man's ugly expression, she felt a little uneasy and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?" Lu Xingzhi didn't say anything, and took her directly into the house.

Looking at the door that he closed, and then at the man's tense handsome face, Qiao Jingjing felt her heart pounding.

Does this man still want to settle the score?

She thought that he had forgiven her for what they did last night.

But seriously, she did owe him an apology.

Thinking of this, she said cheerfully: "I misunderstood you before, I want to apologize to you, please don't be angry again, okay?"

"Tell me, what did you misunderstand about me?" Lu Xingzhi finally spoke, but his voice was extremely cold.

Qiao Jingjing said awkwardly: "I, I shouldn't make random assumptions about you, think, think that you are not good enough, and still ask you to adopt a child..."

Hearing her mention this, Lu Xingzhi's handsome face darkened.

How much did this girl misunderstand him?

One moment you think he's not good enough, and the next moment you think he likes men?

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

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she thought he was so angry that she could not speak.

She felt really guilty, cleared her throat, looked at him with a sincere look and said, "I'm so stupid, how could I think you can't do it? In fact, you are really good, really!"

Lu Xingzhi's forehead veins twitched, and his voice was restrained, "What are you talking about?"

"I'm praising you." Qiao Jingjing blinked, looking innocent.

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

"Don't be angry." Qiao Jingjing took two steps forward, took his hand and shook it, her tone coquettish.

Sure enough, Lu Xingzhi immediately lost his temper.

He looked down at her helplessly, "Don't spread rumors and cause trouble next time."

"Rumors?" Qiao Jingjing paused, "Where do you start talking about this?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her meaningfully, "You told Xia Houxi that I like men?"

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She was about to retort, but when she met the man's eyes, she gradually remembered something that she had almost forgotten.

That time in Chuzhou, she misunderstood that Lu Xingzhi had a wife, and in a rage, she arranged in front of Xia Houxi that he liked a man.

Thinking of this memory, she let go of Lu Xingzhi's hand with a guilty conscience.

"I, I didn't mean to..."

"Do you know how much impact your words have on me?"

"How much impact?" Qiao Jingjing opened her eyes wide.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, thinking of how his colleagues had avoided him when the court had just left. He finally shook his head, "It's nothing."

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief and held his hand again, "Xia Houxi shouldn't be so unreliable, right?"

When she said this, she actually had no confidence.

Although she didn't have much contact with Xia Houxi, she could actually tell a little bit about his character.

That is a master who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

After learning this "secret" of Lu Xingzhi, I'm afraid I want to tell the world.

Lu Xingzhi seemed to know what she was thinking, and looked at her with a half-smile, "What do you think?"

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly, "I don't think he is that unreliable. After all, he is so good to you."

"Really? But today, he actually persuaded me to give you a wife's letter." Lu Xingzhi's tone was unhurried, but it was not difficult to hear his displeasure.

Qiao Jingjing hesitated and frowned, "What does he mean?"

"He thinks that since I like men, I shouldn't delay you and make you a widow." Lu Xingzhi's tone was faint, but when he mentioned the word "widow", he specially emphasized his tone.

This made Qiao Jingjing feel relieved again.

This man is still brooding over the fact that she misunderstood him last night.

Thinking about it, she put her head on his chest, "I really know I was wrong."
