After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 259 Lu Xingzhi: Madam, how would you like me to thank you?
Lu Xingzhi glanced at him, "I just can't understand what Mrs. Qin did."

Hearing this, Xia Houxi sneered, obviously not believing his words, "I think you are still resenting the fact that your wife was targeted when she came to the Duke of Qin's mansion for a banquet, right? If so, your counterattack is really ruthless. "

With just one word, the couple was provoked.

Qin Guogong looked cold, but he actually loved Qin Xuan very much.

Seeing that he was beaten like that by Mrs. Qin, it was no longer possible for him to be kind. Lao Lu wanted to add another question, was Qin Xuan not born to Mrs. Qin?
Now, there is a lot of excitement in Qin's palace.

Thinking about it, he sighed with emotion, Lao Lu is really not easy to mess with. A simple word can make other people's houses uneasy.

"How did you know that what I said was not the truth?" Lu Xingzhi said a few words in a leisurely manner, then got on his horse.

Xia Houxi was stunned, then quickly chased after him, holding the rein of his horse, "What do you mean?"

Lu Xingzhi pulled back the reins of his horse and did not answer his question, but said, "It's getting late, I'll go first."

Before Xia Houxi could react, he scolded the horse and left.

Xia Houxi touched his chin with a thoughtful look on his face.

What Lu Xingzhi meant was that it was really possible that Qin Xuan was not born to Mrs. Qin?

So who is Qin Xuan’s biological mother?

He was really shocked by the news.

The Xiahou family and the Qin family are family friends, and the two families have quite a lot of contacts, so they know the situation of the Qin family better than others.

The Duke of Qin had been in the army for half his life, and apart from Mrs. Qin, he did not have any concubines with him.

If Qin Xuan was not born to Mrs. Qin, then where did he come from?

The key point is that Qin Xuan and Mrs. Qin are quite similar.

But based on his understanding of Lu Xingzhi, he would not make a blind move.

Since he said that, it's probably true.

When he finished digesting it and went back to look for Lian Qimeng, Lian Qimeng was nowhere to be seen.

"Where are the people?" He looked at Chen Fei.

Chen Fei raised his finger and pointed in the direction, "Master, look over there."

Xia Houxi looked over and saw that stinky girl Lian Qimeng tiptoeing, as if she wanted to run away.

He laughed angrily at her.

Are you treating him and Chen Fei as dead people? Can't you see that?
He gritted his teeth and strode over, "Lian Qimeng!"

Lian Qimeng trembled and saw him staring at her with a sinister look on his face. He said with a flattering look on his face, "I'm hungry and want to find something to eat."

Xia Houxi smiled half-heartedly, "Are you looking for something to eat, or do you want to take the opportunity to run away?"

Lian Qimeng looked at him with wide eyes, "How could you say that to me? If I wanted to run away, would I wait until now?"

Xia Houxi saw that she was confident and showed no guilt. He laughed and exposed her lies ruthlessly, "That's because you didn't have the chance to run. If you had the chance, you would have run away long ago."

Lian Qimeng's shoulders slumped.

"I hope today's lesson will help you remember it for a long time." Xia Houxi put away his smile and looked at her seriously. .

Although she showed no signs of escaping today and was kidnapped, he knew that this girl had always been restless and would definitely run away if she found an opportunity.

Thinking of this, he felt irritable, turned around and got on the horse, and when he left, he said to Chen Fei: "Send her back to Qimeng Garden."

"Yes." Chen Fei responded respectfully.

As soon as Xia Houxi left, he looked at Lian Qimeng, who had her head lowered, and said politely: "Miss Lian, I will take you back."

Lian Qimeng nodded, "Thank you."

Chen Fei saw her eyes moving slyly, knowing that she was still thinking about escaping from the young master, so he couldn't help but said: "Miss Lian disappeared today, and the young master would go crazy. If Mr. Lu hadn't restrained him, The young master will be impeached tomorrow and be ordered to do so by the emperor."

Lian Qimeng didn't know what Xia Houxi did to find her. Hearing this, she was a little shocked and said, "He's not that kind of person." Although Xia Houxi was always out of character and liked to tease her verbally, she It is clear that he is actually a very calm person and has a sense of scale in doing things.

Like Chen Fei said, it was really hard for her to imagine going crazy just to find her.

"It wasn't true before, but it was true after I met the girl." Chen Fei looked at her pointedly, "The young master treats the girl well, it's really unique. I hope the girl will take it in and take good care of the young master in the future."

Hearing this, Lian Qimeng glanced at him and said, "Is this your master's intention or yours?"

Chen Fei choked.

Lian Qimeng said nothing.

……

Lu Mansion.

After Lu Shuangshuang left, Qiao Jingjing had nothing to do, so she cooked a few home-cooked dishes herself, and also stewed a pot of chicken soup with durian peels.

It was dark when she came out of the kitchen.

The maids helped her put the food on the table.

Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, Qiao Jingjing ordered: "Qingyuan, go and see if the master is back. If he is back, invite him over for dinner."

Qingyuan responded, and just as he was about to go out, he saw the curtain cage being opened, and a tall and slender figure walked in.

"Madam, your Excellency is back." Qingyuan said with a smile.

Qiao Jingjing turned around and looked with some joy, "When did you come back?"

"Just now." Lu Xingzhi walked towards her slowly with a smile in his black eyes.

"You came back just in time." Qiao Jingjing's eyes flashed, she filled a bowl of soup and handed it to him, "Try it, this soup is delicious."

Lu Xingzhi did not reach out to take it, but there was a smile on his lips, "I haven't washed my hands yet, please feed me, madam."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him in astonishment, then glanced at Mallow and Qingyuan from the corner of her eye, and saw the two maids holding back their laughter and retreating.

When no one was in the room, Qiao Jingjing picked up the spoon, took a mouthful, and put it to the man's lips.

Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and took a sip.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Qiao Jingjing looked at him expectantly.

Lu Xingzhi did not answer, but said: "It was just a sip, but I didn't taste it."

Qiao Jingjing quickly fed him another spoonful, "How is it?"

Lu Xingzhi still didn't speak.

Qiao Jingjing had no choice but to feed him several mouthfuls in succession.

It wasn't until the bowl of soup reached the bottom that the man slowly said, "It's delicious. What was added to the soup?"

Qiao Jingjing looked into his eyes, "It's cat peel."

Lu Xingzhi was startled, "Cat peel?"

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

"Why doesn't it smell like cat fruit?" Lu Xingzhi asked, finally knowing why this girl was so attentive.

She actually wanted to tease him, right?
Thinking of this, he looked at her meaningfully, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"I let you drink it on purpose. After all, this soup is so unique and delicious. When the cat fruit is finished, you will want to drink this soup, but you won't be able to drink it." Qiao Jingjing did not feel guilty at all.

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi nodded, "Then I still need to thank Madam?"

"It's necessary." Qiao Jingjing blinked.

"Madam, how do you want me to thank you?" After Lu Xingzhi said this, he suddenly took a step closer.
