After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 251 So you pledged yourself to me
When Mother Lu heard this, she looked at Qiao Jingjing and hesitated to speak.

Qiao Jingjing saw her, sat down next to her, hugged her arm, and asked softly: "Mom, if you have any worries or concerns, you can tell me. I may not be able to solve them, but I will try my best. I’m here to help you with your ideas, we are a family.”

Seeing the sincerity on her face, Mother Lu's hesitation disappeared.

Yes, they are a family.

However, she did not answer her directly, but said: "It has not been long since you married into our Lu family. You must have many doubts in your heart, right?"

Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

But she did have a lot of doubts in her mind.

For example, the impoverished Lu family was not what she imagined. On the contrary, the family was well off.

This can be seen from the last time at Xianghe Tower, Mother Lu spent a lot of money.

After all, Lu Xingzhi had only been an official for a few years. No matter how capable he was, he would never have been able to accumulate such a rich fortune so quickly.

Besides, Mother Lu would not even blink when she spent money.

It can be seen that she often spends money so generously.

Only a wealthy family can do this, right?

Thinking of this, she nodded honestly, "To be honest, mother, I am indeed very confused. Our family... is not as poor as everyone thinks. I mean, before my husband became an official, he used to be in the village."

Mother Lu held her hand and said, "You are the eldest daughter-in-law of our family. There are some things that we really shouldn't hide from you.

That's right, our family was not poor before, it was all done to hide it from others. "

Qiao Jingjing was no longer surprised when she heard this.

She had also thought about this when she had doubts. The Lu family should have acted like a bare family in order to deceive others.

After a pause, she asked in a low voice: "Are you doing this to avoid vendetta? Or is our family's money coming from the wrong way?"

Mother Lu was stunned.

This daughter-in-law is sharper and smarter than she thought.

But now that everything has been said, there is nothing to hide from her.

"It's not to avoid revenge." Mother Lu said.

Qiao Jingjing's breath tightened. Could it be that the money came from something wrong?

Thinking of the fact that the Lu family father and son were skilled in martial arts, her mind suddenly opened up, "What did dad do in the past was robbing families and homes? But where did dad learn his martial arts skills?"

She remembered that in Xingzi Village, no one except Father Lu knew martial arts.

It's normal for a country boy to have some brute strength, but it's strange to have high-level martial arts skills.

Mother Lu's eyelids twitched and she hurriedly put her finger on her lips, "Don't talk nonsense, be careful not to be overheard."

Qiao Jingjing looked around and saw that the servants serving in the room had been sent out long ago.

Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people listening in the corner.

Thinking about it, she stood up and walked quietly to the door. When she looked around, there was only Aunt Rong standing outside, and no one else.

So she returned with confidence.

In fact, even if someone is eavesdropping, you shouldn't be afraid.

After all, when she spoke to Mother Lu, her voice was deliberately lowered. Unless the person eavesdropping was someone with deep inner strength, it would be impossible to hear her. "Mom, don't worry, there is no one else except Aunt Rong."

Mother Lu actually knew, but she couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

Even though Lu's father has been washed up for many years, his two sons are now officials in the court. If the things Lu's father once did are discovered, A Xing and A Yanke will be criticized, and even Your future will be ruined because of this.

"So, I'm right, did dad really do that kind of business in the past?" Qiao Jingjing saw that she didn't speak, but her eyes were full of worry. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva and asked in a low voice.

Mother Lu came back to her senses and answered her previous question, "When your father was a child, the family didn't have enough food to eat, so he was sent to a temple. There happened to be warrior monks in the temple, so he learned some martial arts.

Later, there was a famine and there was no food in the temple, so he went up to the mountains and became a bandit. "

Qiao Jingjing's eyes widened.

She actually got it right, Father Lu was really a bandit!

Seeing her reaction, Mother Lu hurriedly said: "It's not what you think. Although your father had no choice but to become a bandit, he was a good bandit. He never bullied the people and only robbed the property of corrupt officials and profiteers." .

And sometimes, he would use those belongings to help victims of disasters. "

Qiao Jingjing showed admiration on her face and praised: "Dad is really a chivalrous person!"

Mother Lu was surprised, "Aren't you afraid?"

She thought that after Qiao Jingjing knew the truth, she would disapprove or even feel scared.

Unexpectedly, instead of being afraid, she even praised him.

"What do I have to be afraid of? You already said that dad is a good bandit!" Qiao Jingjing said.

Mother Lu breathed a sigh of relief and put in a good word for Father Lu, "He is indeed a good person."

Qiao Jingjing looked at her expression, "So when mother fled the capital, she must have been in trouble and was rescued by father, right?"

Mother Lu was surprised, "How do you know?"

"I guessed it. One is a boudoir daughter who stays at home, and the other is a chivalrous bandit who licks blood with his knife. You should be invincible, but you are together. This means that after you leave the capital, There must be trouble," Qiao Jingjing analyzed.

Mother Lu smiled, "But it's also possible that I was kidnapped by him."

"But you said he won't bully ordinary people, let alone weak women. How could he kidnap you?
Of course, this cannot be ruled out. He had some unsighted people who kidnapped you, and then happened to be bumped into by him. "Qiao Jingjing said again.

When Mother Lu heard this, she couldn't help but admire her, "The story is similar to what you said, but I was not kidnapped by his men, but by another group of bandits who committed murder, arson, and committed all kinds of evil.

It happened that these bandits offended your father's village, and he brought his brothers to teach these bandits a lesson, and I was saved. "

"So, mother, you are willing to commit yourself to me?" Qiao Jingjing blinked.

Mother Lu's face turned red, she shook her head and denied, "I didn't. It was your father who fell in love with me and insisted on marrying me." Her tone was full of helplessness.

Qiao Jingjing said with a smile: "Mom is so good-looking, she must have fascinated my father back then."

Mother Lu felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She changed the subject and said, "By the way, how come you know so much? Did A Xing tell you?"

"No, last time my husband only told me about my mother's life experience, but he didn't tell me about my father." Qiao Jingjing shook her head.

"Then why do you seem to know everything?" Mother Lu was surprised.

Of course Qiao Jingjing can't say it. There are too many such plots in novels and TV series. The more you watch it, the more you will understand it.

"I just made a random guess. That's what the play says."

Mother Lu nodded when she heard this, "These things I told you..."
