After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

But before that, she had to "die" first.

Only when she thought she was dead would Yu be completely relieved and relax.

Late at night, Qiao Jingjing quietly left the Lu Mansion through the back door.

……

After Lian Qimeng woke up, she planned to take a walk in the garden.

Actually, there is nothing much to see in a garden in winter.

But Qimeng Garden is so small, and there is nothing else fun to do except the garden.

Although Xiahou Xi did not forbid her to go out, after the last kidnapping incident, she didn't want to go out anymore.

Her face is too flashy and she always gets herself into trouble.

Besides, she didn't like going out very much, so she simply stayed in the garden every day, chatting with the servants, doing needlework, and strolling around the garden when she was tired. Occasionally, she would follow the cook and cook some food.

When she walked into the garden, she saw a woman squatting in front of the camellia. She thought she was a maid and didn't pay much attention to her.

It wasn't until I got closer that I realized something was wrong.

The woman's clothing is wrong.

She was not a maid in Qimeng Garden.

Moreover, she has a very good figure, and even from behind she gives people a sense of elegance.

"Who are you?" Lian Qimeng stopped and asked curiously.

Hearing the voice, the woman slowly turned her head.

When he saw Lian Qimeng, a look of amazement flashed across his face, "You are so beautiful."

Lian Qimeng was stunned and looked at the other person in the same amazement.

The other person's beautiful and charming face made the originally dilapidated garden seem to come alive.

She had never seen anyone so beautiful.

She thought she was good-looking, but in front of the other person, she looked plain and dull.

Hearing the other party's praise, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, "In front of the girl, I can only be regarded as a pretty face."

"You are too modest." The woman stood up and walked over with a warm smile on her face. "I have heard of your great name for a long time, and I finally got to see you today. You are as beautiful as the rumors say."

Lian Qimeng looked at her in surprise, "Do you know me?"

"I guess so. I've heard of you." The woman nodded.

Now, Lian Qimeng was even more surprised.

After she came to the capital, she was settled in this garden by Xiahou Xi. Except for the servants in the garden, she didn't know anyone, let alone have any friends.

The other person is not only beautiful, but also has a noble temperament. Why would anyone have heard of this unknown person?
But then I thought, the other party's presence must have been arranged by Xiahou Xi.

So, the other party must have heard of her from Xiahou Xi?

Thinking of Xiahou Xi, she lost her energy and spirit, and became depressed.

She didn't understand what he meant?
Was he placing her here to make her his mistress?
But he didn't come often, and when he came, he just listened to her playing the piano and didn't touch her.

But he wouldn't let her go either.

Although he no longer confined her to her home, she knew that he came from an aristocratic family and was very capable. Even if she fled the capital, he would still catch her back.

So she simply gave up.

But staying in this garden every day, like a canary being kept in captivity, made her extremely uncomfortable and confused about life. She didn't know what to do in the future? Where to go?
Now, Xiahou Xi has brought another girl...

The woman looked at the other person's gloomy expression and felt a little surprised. Why did his mood suddenly become bad?

"Are you feeling unwell?" the woman asked with concern.

Lian Qimeng shook her head somewhat reluctantly, "No. Since he arranged for you to come in, please do as you please. I'm going back to my room first."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Looking at her hurriedly walking away, the woman was a little surprised.

Did she misunderstand something?
The woman was none other than Qiao Jingjing. After she quietly left the Lu residence last night, she followed Fade Chen to this garden.

Because this garden is close to the Lu Mansion and is located in a relatively remote place, it is not easy to attract other people's attention when coming here from the Lu Mansion.

When she arrived here last night, it was quite late and Lian Qimeng had already fallen asleep, so Chen Fei did not disturb her. After asking the old nanny in the garden to settle her down, Chen Fei left.

"Miss, breakfast is ready." At this time, an old lady came over and interrupted Qiao Jingjing's thoughts.

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Thank you for your help."

The old lady shook her head and led the way, but she was actually very puzzled.

There is already such a beautiful Miss Lian living in this garden, but I didn’t expect that the young master would bring in an even more beautiful girl.

She sighed secretly in her heart, not knowing what the young master was thinking.

Why put two girls in the same garden?

What should I do if jealousy arises in the future?

The old lady had a headache.

Qiao Jingjing didn't know what she was thinking, and followed the old nanny back to the house to eat.

The breakfast was mediocre. Qiao Jingjing ate a little bit and then couldn't eat anymore.

It would be boring to think that I would have to stay here for a few more days without anyone to talk to.

After thinking about it, she got up and went to the kitchen.

Lian Qimeng has not left the house since she came back from the garden in the morning.

After doing some needlework for a while, she sat behind the desk and started playing the piano.

When the melodious sound of the piano rang out in the garden, Qiao Jingjing was just coming out of the kitchen with some food.

She followed the sound of the piano and found Lian Qimeng's house.

When she reached the door, she immediately saw Lian Qimeng playing the piano with her head down.

She is worthy of being the number one courtesan in Chunfeng Tower. She is truly a beauty with both beauty and talent.

Seeing that she was playing the piano with great concentration, Qiao Jingjing remained silent.

Not until the song ended did Lian Qimeng raise her head.

Qiao Jingjing immediately smiled at her and said, "Miss Lian, you play the piano really well."

Lian Qimeng was stunned for a moment, then said calmly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, young lady."

Qiao Jingjing walked in, "I'm not a girl, you can call me Madam Lu."

Lian Qimeng was stunned. "Mrs. Lu?"

"Yes." Qiao Jingjing nodded. "I have something going on at home, so I'll stay here for a few days."

Lian Qimeng felt a little embarrassed when she heard this and her face turned red.

She thought that the other person was just like herself, someone raised by Xiahou Xi.

Seeing her so embarrassed, Qiao Jingjing knew that her guess was correct and the other party had indeed misunderstood.

She smiled helplessly and said, "Also, it's not what Master Xiahou said that I know you, I've been to Chuzhou before."

She only mentioned the location and did not say Chunfeng Tower.

But Lian Qimeng understood and said in surprise: "So Madam Lu has been to Chuzhou."

"Yes, Master Xiahou was there at that time, and that's when he met you," said Qiao Jingjing.

Lian Qimeng looked at the other person's smiling and tolerant eyes and couldn't help feeling a little apologetic. "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."

"It doesn't matter if you misunderstood me, but don't let my husband know about it, or he will mind." Qiao Jingjing winked playfully.

Lian Qimeng laughed, "So your husband is still a jealous person."

"He's not a jealous person, but he cares about me a lot." Qiao Jingjing is very narcissistic. (End of this chapter)
