After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 260 How about committing yourself to each other?
Qiao Jingjing subconsciously took a step back, but when she saw the jest in the man's eyes, she stood firm again and asked, "How would you like to thank me, husband?"

"How about I pledge myself to you?" Lu Xingzhi looked down at her.

"Cough cough cough..." Qiao Jingjing choked on her own saliva, and her beautiful eyes looked at the man in front of her in astonishment as she said those words seriously.

This man was taken away?

If it were Lu Xingzhi, it would be absolutely impossible for him to say such greasy words.

Thinking about it, she said solemnly: "Who are you? Where did you get my husband?"

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

After reacting, he raised his hand to cover Qiao Jingjing's forehead, frowned and said, "But you have a febrile disease and are confused by the heat?"

The corners of Qiao Jingjing's mouth twitched, "You're so hot and confused."

Lu Xingzhi said helplessly: "Since you don't have a febrile disease, why did you say such strange words?"

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Isn't it him who said strange things?
"Are you really Lu Xingzhi?" she asked uncertainly.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, "Why do you say this, madam? How can a person's body be occupied by someone else?"

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she calmed down.

Facing the man's wise and deep eyes, she felt as if her secret could no longer be concealed.

"Husband, you are joking. I was just joking." She added bitterly.

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi seemed to believe her, and without saying anything else, he walked to the basin stand to clean his hands.

Looking at the man's slender and straight back, Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But even though Lu Xingzhi didn't ask any more questions, she always had a feeling in her heart that he should know everything.

When Lu Xingzhi walked back, he saw Qiao Jingjing sitting at the table in a daze. He paused and reminded her nonchalantly: "Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and quickly responded, "Oh."

Lu Xingzhi put the bowl of soup in front of her and said, "This soup tastes really good. Drink more."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

The couple sat facing each other to eat, saying nothing for a while.

After drinking the soup, Qiao Jingjing felt that the atmosphere was too quiet, so she took the initiative to break the silence, "By the way, what happened this afternoon? Is Mr. Xiahou okay?"

In the afternoon, she vaguely heard Dong Lai mention Xiahou Shaoqing, as if something had happened.

Lu Xingzhi gave her a chopstick of fried pork slices with winter bamboo shoots and said, "Eat first."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, and after taking two bites, she couldn't help but ask: "What happened?"

Lu Xingzhi said helplessly: "Didn't I tell you to eat first?"

"This doesn't affect eating." Qiao Jingjing blinked.

Lu Xingzhi raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brow, "That matter is a long story, let's talk about it after dinner."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing curled her lips, picked up the pig's trotters and started to chew on them.

The braised pig's trotters she made today were delicious, moderately tender, fat but not greasy, and bright red in color.

So after nibbling one, she continued to nibble.

Seeing her eating so deliciously, Lu Xingzhi's eyes flashed with a smile.

Qiao Jingjing saw that he kept watching her chewing the pig's trotters, so she blinked and gave him a piece, "You can eat it too."

Lu Xingzhi shook his head and said, "I won't eat it." Then he put the pig's trotters back into her bowl.

After Qiao Jingjing gnawed another pig's trotter, she put down her chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, "Can you tell me now? I've been thinking about it in my heart, and the rice is no longer delicious." Lu Xingzhi glanced at her hand The bones were piled high, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he put down his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing sat upright and looked at him with burning eyes.

She had a hunch that something special must have happened in the afternoon, and she wanted to eat melon.

Lu Xingzhi paused, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, then slowly said: "Today, Xia Houxi's outer room disappeared. He almost went crazy looking for his outer room."

Qiao Jingjing looked at him in shock, "Master Xiahou has an outside wife?"

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing was very surprised, "I really can't tell."

She originally thought that Xia Houxi just liked to take advantage of others, but he was actually a serious person.

But when she thought about the Longyang scroll he had given to Lu Xingzhi before, she felt that she was too naive and that Xia Houxi was not a serious person at all.

"Who captured his outer room?" she asked curiously.

"It's Qin Yue'er." Lu Xing knew.

"What?" Qiao Jingjing was very surprised, "Why did she capture Xia Houxi's estrangement? Could it be that she liked Xia Houxi and she captured his estrangement out of jealousy?"

"No." Lu Xingzhi smiled and shook his head, "Her purpose was to find someone else to replace her and join the Canglang Kingdom."

He was just guessing at first, but Qin Yue'er's panic confirmed that his guess was correct.

"Is she crazy? The emperor has issued an order to name her to marry the Canglang Kingdom, and Xiao Yanzhao has also met her." Qiao Jingjing felt incredible.

"But what if the replacement woman is extremely beautiful and can catch Xiao Yanzhao's eyes?" Lu Xingzhi said unhurriedly.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "That's right. Men are all lustful. As long as they are beautiful enough, no man will not fall for the bait. So, Xia Houxi's concubine is extremely beautiful?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her deeply.

Qiao Jingjing noticed it, paused for a moment, then reacted belatedly, and changed her words, "I didn't mean you."

Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes, rubbed the delicate lines on the cup with his long fingers, and said unhurriedly: "Madam is right."

"Ah?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

This guy admits he's also a womanizer?

Is he lustful?

Thinking that the two of them had only just consummated their marriage after being married for so long, she felt that Lu Xingzhi was not actually very lecherous.

Just when I was thinking this, I suddenly heard a man's deep voice say: "Madam, you should have had enough rest in the past two days."

Qiao Jingjing almost couldn't keep up with his jumping topics, and said blankly: "It's... okay."

"Yes." Lu Xingzhi responded and continued the previous topic, "You have actually heard of Xia Houxi's concubine."

Qiao Jingjing was still thinking about what he said before. When he interrupted her, she forgot about it and said in surprise: "I've heard of it? Who is it?"

"Lian Qimeng, the oiran of Chunfeng Tower." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Qiao Jingjing was surprised, "It's her! But how could she become Young Master Xiahou's concubine?"

"Didn't she escape the time you replaced her? But the people in Chunfeng Tower did not let her go and pursued her. She had no choice but to hide in Chunhua Garden, where she happened to be rescued by Xia Houxi who was on errands there. Yes." Lu Xingzhi explained.

Qiao Jingjing suddenly realized, "That can be considered their fate."

Lu Xingzhi was noncommittal.

At least for now, Xia Houxi has a headache about Lian Qimeng and doesn't know how to deal with her.

"In addition," Lu Xingzhi paused and looked at Qiao Jingjing with a more cautious expression, "It is very possible that Qin Xuan was not born to Mrs. Qin."

"What?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned.
