After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 21 This is the man she chose herself
"Yes." Lin Jiu responded respectfully.

After Lu Xingzhi pondered for a moment, he then ordered: "In addition, Shen Tingzhi has sent people to continue to keep an eye on him, but there is no need to investigate the matter of Xiaoyaosan."

Lin Jiu was surprised, "No need to check?"

"Well, I suspect there is another mastermind behind Shen Tingzhi, otherwise Shen Tingzhi would not be able to support such a big business. I didn't investigate Xiaoyaosan first because I don't want to alert the snake." Lu Xing knew.

Lin Jiu understood, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Xiaoyao Powder is a contraband. Someone must be helping to support Shen Tingzhi's control of Xiaoyao Powder. Otherwise, how could such a big thing not be leaked at all? And what happened behind the scenes? I'm afraid he has a great background.

Sir, do you want to follow Shen Tingzhi's vine and find out the mastermind behind it? "

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi nodded and explained, "Let our people be careful and just keep an eye on Shen Tingzhi. Don't worry about it. Sooner or later, he will reveal his flaws."

"My subordinate understands and will give the order." Lin Jiu cupped his hands and said.

As soon as Qiao Jingjing came back, she ran into Lin Jiu who came out of the house.

"Madam." Lin Jiu bowed respectfully.

"Guard Lin." Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, sir, if you have something to do, please tell your subordinates to take care of it." Lin Jiu replied.

Qiao Jingjing nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

After Lin Jiu resigned, she entered the house.

When she entered, Lu Xingzhi had already sorted out the letters.

Looking at the boxes on the ground, she paused and said, "Has your husband's things been sorted out?"

Lu Xingzhi said "hmm", thought of something, and looked up at her, "Is there anything you need to sort out, madam? I'm free now and can help you."

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "I have nothing to pack, just a few clothes."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he softened his tone and said, "I have to rush back to the capital this time, so I haven't been able to buy more clothes for my wife. I will make up for my wife when I get back to the capital."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned when she heard this.

Did he think she was complaining that her clothes and jewelry were too few?

"My husband misunderstood, I am not..."

"What's it not?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Looking into the man's dark eyes, Qiao Jingjing swallowed the words as she spoke.

She shook her head and asked about things in Jingzhong Mansion instead, "Is the staff in our house complicated?"

Lu Xingzhi was puzzled, "What is complicated?"

"That's it, that's right, does your husband have... a concubine?" Qiao Jingjing asked in a low voice after thinking about it for a while.

Although in the original book, Lu Xingzhi never married and was not close to women, she still wanted to hear what he had to say.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, and finally understood what she meant, "There is no one except this servant."

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good." Seeing his gaze, she paused and added, "I mean, it's a good thing that the population is simple. This way, there won't be a fire in the backyard and the husband will be in the court. It will also be a distraction and affect your government affairs.”

"Madam, you are very considerate." Lu Xingzhi glanced down at her and said calmly.

Qiao Jingjing smiled, "Husband, just don't mind my verbosity."

"Of course not." Lu Xingzhi shook his head.

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved when she saw this.

This is the man she chose herself. She just hopes that he will be as powerful as in the original book, and that he will not play tricks on her and make her uncomfortable.

It was night, and Lu Xingzhi was still laying on the floor.

For this reason, Qiao Jingjing is no longer surprised.

She even enjoyed being in a big bed by herself.

At dawn the next day, there was the sound of moving things in the yard.

Qiao Jingjing heard it, but she was too sleepy, so she turned over and planned to sleep for a while.

But not long after, a big hand patted her back, and then the man's slightly deep voice sounded, "Madam, get up and wash up, we will leave soon." Qiao Jingjing's mind was spinning in a daze. He hugged that hand and muttered: "I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer..."

Lu Xingzhi didn't expect that the other party would suddenly grab his hand.

He didn't react until the soft touch came from under his hand. He immediately retracted his hand and said in a deeper voice, "Madam, I'm really sleepy. I'll get in the car and go to sleep later."

His movement of retracting his hand was a little too big, and Qiao Jingjing woke up instantly.

When she opened her eyes and saw the man standing in front of the bed, she didn't realize what she had just done.

She rubbed her eyes and said unhappily: "I'll get up now."

Lu Xingzhi pursed his lower lip, turned around, and said calmly: "After washing up, come to the front yard so I can ask someone to come in and move things."

"I know." Qiao Jingjing yawned and got out of bed to wash up.

After washing and dressing up, she carried a small, soft bundle that contained all her belongings and went to the front yard.

Lu Xingzhi was indeed there.

When he saw her coming, he asked Lin Jiu to take someone back to move things.

"Mother and Shuangshuang are already on the carriage. You can get on too." Lu Xingzhi turned to look at her and pointed to the carriage drive outside the door.

Qiao Jingjing felt unhappy when she thought about riding in the same carriage as Lu Shuangshuang.

She hesitated and asked, "Is your husband riding a horse?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing's eyes lit up, "I want to learn to ride a horse, can my husband help me?"

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment and shook his head decisively, "No."

Qiao Jingjing's face showed disappointment.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi paused and added: "We can't do it now, we have to rush back to the capital. When we get there, if you are interested, I will ask someone to teach you."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing shrugged, carried her baggage, and went to the carriage outside the door.

When she went up, Mother Lu, Lu Shuangshuang, and Aunt Rong were there.

Compared with the carriage she and Lu Xingzhi rode in before, this carriage was obviously more spacious.

Even with the extra Qiao Jingjing, it doesn't seem crowded.

And the seats are covered with thick cushions.

"Mom." Qiao Jingjing greeted.

Mother Lu nodded, "Sit down."

Qiao Jingjing sat down as she was told.

Lu Shuangshuang glanced at her with disgust, but he didn't find any trouble with her because she was more interested in things in the capital and kept pestering Lu's mother with questions.

Qiao Jingjing was so happy that she was quiet. She hugged the baggage into her arms and then leaned against the car wall, preparing to catch up on her sleep.

While she was in a daze, she vaguely felt the carriage moving.

After traveling for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped.

"Jingjing!"

At this moment, the shouts of Father Qiao and Mrs. Xu suddenly came from outside the carriage.

Qiao Jingjing woke up immediately.

She quickly opened the car window and looked outside, and saw Father Qiao and Mrs. Xu standing outside.

"Dad, Aunt Xu!" After she said hello, she was about to get off the carriage, but Father Qiao and Mrs. Xu had already walked over.

Father Qiao stopped him and said, "No need to come down. You have a busy schedule, so don't delay. Your Aunt Xu and I are here to see you off."

"Jingjing, you guys are on your way, so you won't have time to eat in the morning. I've made some pancakes and steamed buns here to cushion your stomach later." Mrs. Xu said, stuffing a cloth bag in her hand through the car window. Come in.
