After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 237 She is an abandoned child
Qiao Jingjing curled her lips and said deliberately: "If it's nothing important, can't I come to you?"

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips slightly, "No, I just saw that you were looking for me in a hurry, so I thought you had something important to do."

Seeing the obvious teasing in the man's eyes, Qiao Jingjing snorted, walked to the table and opened the soup cup. Instantly, a strong fragrance filled the room.

"Next time I make something delicious, I'll eat it myself." Qiao Jingjing glanced at the man and then opened the lids of the other dishes.

Soon, three delicious dishes appeared in front of Lu Xingzhi.

They are pork ribs, lotus root and yam soup, Mapo tofu, West Lake vinegar fish, and stir-fried cabbage.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi's dark eyes filled with smile, "So you asked me to accompany you to dinner."

Qiao Jingjing curled her lips and said, "No, I'm just afraid that I'll make too much and I won't be able to finish it all by myself."

"Understood." Lu Xingzhi nodded seriously.

Qiao Jingjing was a little annoyed. She rolled her eyes at him and was about to reach out for the chopsticks, but was stopped by the man. "Let me remind you, you just hugged the cat and didn't clean your hands."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

After the couple cleaned their hands, they returned to the table.

The royal meal at the palace banquet was delicious, but the portion was too small, and there were too many things happening at the banquet today. Qiao Jingjing didn't eat much, so as soon as she returned to the mansion, she cooked a few dishes herself. .

After the couple finished their meal, the servants removed the remaining food and poured tea for them.

Qiao Jingjing held the teacup, took a sip, and asked, "Do you know Mr. Duan Boyu, Mr. Duan?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her in surprise, "We are officials in the same dynasty, so we know each other naturally, but Duan Boyu is a military general, why do you suddenly talk about him?"

"He seems to know Mom." Qiao Jingjing said, and told her about meeting Duan Boyu when she came out of the imperial garden.

Lu Xingzhi frowned slightly.

When Qiao Jingjing saw his reaction, she knew that he might not know about Mother Lu's past.

She put down the cup, leaned on the table, and said thoughtfully: "It seems that Mom and General Duan are old acquaintances, but why did Mom lie and claim that she didn't know him? And she seemed to be very evasive. Also when she entered the palace today, she kept her head lowered, as if she was afraid of being recognized. "

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, his beautiful brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but joke: "Do you think my mother is actually the daughter of a certain family, and she left the capital in order to escape from marriage?"

Lu Xingzhi came to his senses and said helplessly: "Don't make random guesses."

Qiao Jingjing shrugged, "But my mother doesn't feel like she was born in the countryside at all. She behaves very elegantly."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, his eyes suddenly fell on her little face.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned, "Look what I do?"

Lu Xingzhi picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said calmly: "You said that my mother doesn't look like she was born in the countryside, but my wife doesn't look like her either. So which wealthy family does your wife belong to?"

Qiao Jingjing rolled her eyes at him, "We grew up in the same village. You still don't know my details?"

The corners of Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up, and he said meaningfully, "I don't know."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then changed the subject and said, "I was assassinated in the palace today. I suspect it has something to do with Qin Yue'er."

"Do you think Qin Yue'er did it?" Lu Xingzhi said in a deep voice.

"Except for her, I have never had a grudge with anyone, and she is the only one I have the least dealing with." Qiao Jingjing frowned.

"But if it was her who did it, why did Qin Xuan have to scheme together? Even if the brother and sister don't get along, they wouldn't use such despicable means to scheme against each other, right?" Lu Xing knew.

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "What you said makes sense. But if Qin Yue'er didn't do it, who wanted to plot against me? And he could also instigate the people in the palace." As she said that, she listed all the people she knew. After thinking about it carefully, she finally thought of someone.

"Do you think it could be Shangguan Xue'er?"

Lu Xingzhi also thought of this person.

He said: "In Cining Palace, she was reprimanded by the Queen Mother for slandering you. She may have a grudge and take revenge on you."

Qiao Jingjing frowned, "I think it must be her, but what kind of grudge does she have with Qin Xuan? She wants to take revenge on him like that?"

"Perhaps there is something going on between the two of them that others don't know about." Lu Xingzhi said thoughtfully.

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "That should be the case."

"I will let Lin Jiu investigate this matter." Lu Xingzhi said again.

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing felt relieved, "By the way, I always feel that there will be variables regarding Qin Yue'er's marriage to the Canglang Kingdom. Can you think of a way to get the emperor to issue an edict tomorrow? It would be best to write it in the edict. Put Qin Yue'er's name on it so that she can't find someone to replace her."

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "This is no problem."

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved after hearing this.

After all, Qin Yue'er is the heroine in the original book, and she always feels that things can't go so smoothly.

When she came back to her senses, she found that Lu Xingzhi was looking at her again.

The corner of her mouth curled up, "Why, Mr. Lu has never seen a beauty?"

Lu Xingzhi played with the cup in his hand, "You are the only shameless beauty I have ever seen."

Qiao Jingjing said angrily: "Is it so difficult to admit that I am beautiful?"

Lu Xingzhi smiled and said seriously: "I just think you and Qin Xuan look alike, and today I learned that he and you were born on the same birthday. I think it's a bit too coincidental."

Qiao Jingjing was very surprised when she heard this, "He was born on the same birthday as me?"

"Well, you were born in the same year and on the same day." Lu Xingzhi added.

This time, Qiao Jingjing was even more surprised.

However, when she remembered something, her beautiful eyes suddenly dimmed.

When Lu Xingzhi saw this, he frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Jingjing was a little confused. She didn't know whether she should tell him that her father had picked her up.

Just when she was thinking about it, she saw the man suddenly hold her hand, "I hope you don't have to worry about anything. I may not be able to solve everything, but I will try my best to solve your problem." ”

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, the hesitation in her heart instantly dissipated, and she whispered: "Actually, I am not my father's biological child."

Lu Xingzhi was stunned for a moment, "Did your father tell you?"

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "No. Do you still remember the night when my father moved into his house? I was very thirsty because I ate too many peanuts you peeled, so I went back to the main room and heard my father and mother talking. this matter.

It was also that night that I realized that I was not my father's child. He had picked me up in the snow when he left the capital.

He said that it happened to be a day of heavy snow, so I celebrate my birthday every year on the day of heavy snow. "

Lu Xingzhi remembered. When he came out of the bath that night, he saw her sitting there in a daze. She even almost forgot to take a change of clothes, but it was he who reminded her.

Qiao Jingjing sniffed, "I am an abandoned child. If fate hadn't met my father, I would have froze to death in the snow."

When Lu Xingzhi saw her reddish eye circles, he felt a pang of pity in his heart. He reached out and hugged her into his arms, "You are actually very lucky to have a father who loves you so much."
