After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 294 People are planning to plot against his brother

Lu Xingzhi understood that she was still suffering from Aunt Chen's death.

After a pause, he said in a gentle voice: "Aunt Chen's body has been taken away by the government first. They will notify Aunt Chen's family. When her family arrives, we will go to the government and bury her body with her family."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

She understood the main reasons why Lu Xingzhi insisted on reporting to the authorities. First, someone had died in Zuixianlou, and it was in public, everyone had seen it, so it could not be suppressed at all, and the authorities would definitely intervene. Second, he wanted to use the authorities to find Aunt Chen's family.

Aunt Chen’s death made her feel sad and guilty.

If she had asked a few more questions that day, perhaps Aunt Chen would not have died.

After a moment of silence, Lu Xing realized: "Since we can't eat, let's go back first."

Looking at the table full of dishes, Qiao Jingjing sighed. It would be a waste if she didn't eat so many dishes. Thinking of this, she took a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Lu Xingzhi, "You should eat a little, otherwise it will be a waste."

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi took the chopsticks.

After dinner, the couple left Zuixianlou.

At some point, snow started falling from the gloomy sky. The streets, which had been cleared of dirt, were again covered with a layer of white snow, and there were not many pedestrians on the road.

The two of them didn't stay long and got on the carriage back to Lu's mansion.

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.

Nanny Fang hurried into the side courtyard with a thin-faced man.

When I opened the door, Mrs. Qin was sitting there.

"Ma'am, it's done." The man knelt down and reported.

"Is the person sure he is dead?" Mrs. Qin asked.

"She's dead. I stabbed her in the heart. After I escaped, I changed my clothes and went back. I saw the government officials carrying a corpse out of Zuixianlou.

I also asked the guests present, and they saw with their own eyes that Mrs. Chen had died. ”The man replied respectfully.

"You did a great job." Madam Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "Madam Fang, there will be a generous reward."

The man was overjoyed, "Thank you, ma'am."

After Nanny Fang took the man away, she came back.

Madam Qin held a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and asked, "Have you arranged everything for Qiao Jingjing's people?"

"It's all arranged. I followed Madam's orders and found a group of desperate criminals. Now, they have sneaked into the Lu Mansion." Nanny Fang said.

"Well, this matter must not fail." Mrs. Qin said.

"Don't worry, Madam. Those people only care about money, not people. Besides, you give them a lot, so they will only work harder." Madam Fang said.

Only then did Mrs. Qin feel relieved.

Now Nanny Chen is dead, and no one else knows about Yu Feier's existence except her and her parents.

If Qiao Jingjing also died, she could rest assured.

When Mrs. Qin thought of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, unlike the gloom she had felt for days.

"Where's the lady?" she asked instead.

Nanny Fang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Young lady has been throwing tantrums these days, refusing to eat or drink."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin frowned, then stood up and went to Qin Yue'er's yard.

When she went there, she indeed heard the heart-wrenching screams of the maids coming from the house.

Madam Qin stepped into the room and saw the maids kneeling on the ground, screaming and being whipped by Qin Yue'er.

Seeing Madam Qin coming in, Qin Yue'er retracted the whip and said coldly to the maids, "Get lost!"

The maids ran out as if they had been pardoned.

The young lady was difficult to serve, and she would take it out on them whenever she was unhappy. This time, she was beaten by Duke Qin, and she took out all her anger on them.

The maids looked miserable. When would this kind of life end?

Mrs. Qin sat down on the chair and looked at her daughter with a gloomy face. "Haven't you vented enough?"

Qin Yue'er naturally hadn't vented enough, "Only by killing Qiao Jingjing can I get rid of the hatred in my heart." If it weren't for Lu Xingzhi and others that day, she wouldn't have been whipped by her father.

She was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Qin, Princess Duanhui, personally conferred by the Emperor, but she was whipped by her father in front of all the servants.

She wished they all died.

"Don't worry, Qiao Jingjing will die soon." Mrs. Qin said lightly.

Qin Yue'er's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Mrs. Qin picked up the tea brought in by the servant, took a sip, and was in a surprisingly good mood.

Qin Yue'er's face lightened a lot after hearing this. Seeing that her mother seemed to be in a good mood, she stepped forward and hugged her arm and said, "Mom, I don't want to marry to Canglang Country. Please think of a way for me."

Madam Qin also didn't want her daughter to marry into the Canglang Country. After thinking about it, she said, "If she doesn't want to marry into the Canglang Country, I'm afraid she can only fake her death to avoid it."

"Faking death?" Qin Yue'er widened her eyes.

"That's right." Madam Qin nodded and looked at her daughter and said, "But if you choose to fake your death, you will never be able to appear in public again."

Qin Yue'er immediately shook her head when she heard this, "I don't want to fake my death."

Isn't it more painful than death to not be able to appear in front of people?
"Mom, please think of another way for me."

"There is no other way." Mrs. Qin shook her head.

Qin Yue'er's heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

"I heard from Madam Fang that Prince Canglang came to see you yesterday." Madam Qin talked about another thing.

Qin Yue'er said coldly: "I don't want to see him."

"But he is the most favored prince of the Canglang Kingdom after all. If you don't see him, it might make him unhappy, and he will definitely come again." Madam Qin frowned.

Qin Yue'er narrowed her eyes, thinking of something, and venom flashed in her eyes, "I have a way so that I don't have to marry him."

"What?" Mrs. Qin was puzzled.

"Just wait and see, mother." Qin Yue'er was confident.

……

As soon as Qiao Jingjing and Lu Xingzhi returned to the mansion, Chongxi came forward with a strange look on his face and reported: "My Lord, Madam, I followed Zhian for the whole afternoon and saw her go to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and then wait for the Second Young Master on his way back every day."

Qiao Jingjing's heart moved, "She waited for the second young master?"

Chongxi nodded, and the strange expression on his face became even more intense. "When she arrived, she even deliberately fell off the Second Young Master's horse, but the Second Young Master ignored her this time and rode back to the mansion directly."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Is Zhian trying to learn from that little girl, taking advantage of Lu Xingyan's kindness and softness, and using a weak attitude to win his pity?

Fortunately, Lu Xingyan was not fooled this time.

However, it can be seen from here that Zhian's target has changed to Lu Xingyan.

Unable to get close to the older brother, turn to the younger brother?
I have to say, it would be really disgusting if her plan succeeded.

and also……

"What medicine did she buy?"

"Yes..." Chongxi coughed lightly, a little embarrassed, "I asked the owner of the medicine shop, and she bought...aphrodisiac medicine."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Chongxi also looked helpless.

I really can't tell. Na Zhian looks like a decent person and doesn't talk much on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is so... dissolute.

"Continue to monitor her and watch her every move." Qiao Jingjing ordered.

The medicine has been bought. Are you planning to take action against Lu Xingyan?
"I understand." Chongxi said and then stepped back.

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Xingzhi who had been silent.

How can this man remain so calm?
