After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 28 In his heart, she is a burden?
But soon, she overturned this idea.

She could feel that Lu Xingzhi had no dislike for her, although they were mostly polite when they got along.

Take Xiyuan's matter as an example. If Lu Xingzhi hated her, he would not bother her and tell her not to care.

From this point of view, Lu Xingzhi is just like the description in the original book. This man has great ambitions and only cares about family and country affairs. Women are just a burden to him...

When the word burden flashed into her mind, the corner of her mouth twitched.

So, to Lu Xingzhi, she is just a burden?
Realizing this, she felt uncomfortable.

But it’s understandable.

If she hadn't come through and changed her mind, she and Lu Xingzhi would have broken off their engagement long ago.

She suddenly felt that Lu Xingzhi might have hoped that she would break off the engagement.

Then he wouldn't have to keep his promise to marry her.

However, she didn't expect that she would change her mind.

So even if he married her, he still felt that she was a trouble, and he was still trouble that he couldn't throw away or abandon.

If that were the case, then it would be understandable why Lu Xingzhi refused to consummate the marriage with her and didn't like her intimate behavior.

Qiao Jingjing shook her head. Now that things have come to this, she can only make mistakes.

Anyway, she just wanted the title of Mrs. Lu and the protection of Lu Xingzhi.

She didn't think much about the rest.

"Madam, the embroiderer from Jinzhilou is here." At this time, Mallow came in to report.

Qiao Jingjing stopped her thoughts and nodded.

Not long after, the embroiderer followed the maid in.

"Mrs. Lu, I am polite to you, Mrs. Zhu." As soon as the embroiderer from Jin Zhilou entered the room, she bowed to Qiao Jingjing politely and thoughtfully.

"No need to be polite, just sit down." Qiao Jingjing said.

The embroiderer smiled and said: "Thank you, madam. If it is convenient, madam, can you start taking measurements now?"

"That's fine." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

After getting her approval, the embroiderer took out the measuring ruler and measured Qiao Jingjing's size. After measuring the size, she took out the fabric she brought and asked her to choose.

After Qiao Jingjing finished selecting the fabric, the embroiderer took out the pattern and asked her to choose the style of the clothes.

Qiao Jingjing carefully selected them.

If it were her, she would just be comfortable, but now she is Lu Xingzhi's wife, and her dress and behavior represent his face.

He treats her quite well and reciprocates kindness, but she cannot embarrass him.

"Madam, you have good taste. The styles you chose are the most fashionable in Beijing." The embroiderer praised.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you to put more effort into making some clothes."

The embroiderer was amazed in her heart. They said that Shilang Lu married a country girl, but she didn't expect that his wife was not only good-looking, but her behavior and speech were not vulgar like a country woman at all. Instead, she was elegant and calm. Some people believe that he is from a high family.

She suppressed the surprise in her heart and said with a smile on her face: "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely make the clothes well and make sure you are satisfied."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Come here, give Madam Zhu a reward."

Qingyuan immediately took out a handful of money she had prepared in advance and stuffed it into Madam Zhu's hand.

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, her heart ached, but she didn't show it on her face.

Madam Zhu was even more happy when she got the reward. If she heard nice words, she would jump out as if she didn't need any money.

Not long after she left, Butler Wang personally brought people from the Jinyin Building to see Qiao Jingjing.

After seeing the gift, the people from the Gold and Silver Building placed the jewelry they brought one by one in front of her, waiting for her to choose.

Qiao Jingjing looked at them one by one and found that the styles of jewelry were very monotonous and there was nothing to choose from. Seeing the people in the Jinyin Building looking uncomfortable, she paused, looked at Butler Wang, and asked, "Have the old lady and Miss Shuangshuang had a fight?"

Butler Wang paused and said without missing a beat: "It happened that Miss Shuangshuang was at the old lady's place, so I picked with the old lady."

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she understood.

Originally, according to the rules, she should have finished picking first, and then Lu Shuang would pick.

And this jewelry should also have a certain number.

For example, one person can choose several items.

But Lu Shuangshuang relied on Mother Lu's love and didn't take her seriously. Not only did she choose before her, but even when choosing jewelry, she deliberately picked out all the good-looking ones, and even picked a few more, leaving only I gave her a few old-fashioned styles.

The remaining pieces of jewelry are nothing to choose from.

But since they were all gold, she didn't say anything.

"Just keep these few things." She pointed to some gold jewelry on the plate and said.

The people in the Jinyin Building could obviously see that she had been tricked by her sister-in-law, and they were worried, fearing that she would cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, she had such a good temper that she didn't care about it and chose the jewelry carefully.

The people in Jinyin Tower breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as Butler Wang left with the people from the Gold and Silver Building, Qiao Jingjing put on all the gold hairpins, gold bracelets, and gold earrings.

Looking at herself shining golden in the mirror, she felt very happy.

What happened to the tackiness?
This is gold.

Lu Shuangshuang was probably gloating at this moment, thinking that she had been tricked and embarrassed, but she didn't know that she didn't attach much importance to jewelry such as jade and beads.

After all, jade is easy to break, and apart from being more beautiful, how can beads be as practical as gold?

"Madam, aren't you angry?" Qingyuan whispered from the side.

Even she could see that Lu Shuangshuang was deliberately making things difficult.

"Don't be angry. What's there to be angry about?" Qiao Jingjing looked at the gold bracelet on her wrist and smiled happily.

"But, but what Madam got is all gold jewelry, not any jade jewelry..." Qingyuan hesitated.

"It's okay, I just like gold jewelry." Qiao Jingjing interrupted her.

When Qingyuan saw this, she shut up.

Not long after, Aunt Rong came.

As soon as she came in, she handed a box to Qiao Jingjing, "The old lady asked the old slave to bring this to the madam."

Qiao Jingjing took it, opened it, and was startled, "Why..."

Aunt Rong looked her over and saw that there was no sign of anger on her face, so she smiled and said: "Miss Shuangshuang has been raised by the old lady a bit pampered since she was a child. Most of the jewelry sent by people from the bank just now was picked up by Miss Shuangshuang. , leaving only a few items for Madam.

Miss Shuangshuang was reprimanded by the old lady just today. The old lady couldn't bear to talk about her any more, and she was worried that you would feel uncomfortable, so she asked the old slave to bring this hosta to the lady.

Madam, please don't get angry with Miss Shuangshuang. "

Qiao Jingjing was surprised, it turned out to be because of this.

She shook her head, "How could I be so angry with Shuangshuang? Mom is worrying too much. As for this hosta, I can't keep it, so I asked Aunt Rong to take it back to Mom."

Aunt Rong advised: "Since this is what the old lady wants to give you, just accept it. There is no need to refuse."

"But this... is too expensive." Qiao Jingjing hesitated.

"This hosta is not only valuable, but also has a great history. Please keep it safe." Aunt Rong warned seriously.
