After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 32 He must have a grudge in his heart, right?
On the other side, Qiao Jingjing just walked downstairs when she met Lu Xingzhi who was coming.

When she saw the man coming in from outside, she blinked and was a little surprised, but when she saw Lin Jiushi next to him, she understood.

It seems that Lin Jiu invited him here.

Looking at the tall and straight man, she subconsciously walked towards him and said, "Husband."

Lu Xingzhi looked her over quickly, and then asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Qiao Jingjing's heart, which had been hanging because of Lu Jing, instantly relaxed. She shook her head, "I'm fine."

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he felt relieved and said, "It'll be fine."

At this moment, a sarcastic voice suddenly came, "Shilang Lu came so quickly. Is it because he was afraid that my wife, General Ling, would be eaten?"

There was deep displeasure in his tone.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing and Lu Xingzhi looked over together.

The eldest princess was seen walking down the stairs, surrounded by Lu Jing, Nanny Wan and other entourage.

Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes and said calmly: "I have met the eldest princess."

The eldest princess snorted coldly, stopped, her eyes flicked across his face, and finally fell on Qiao Jingjing, her expression turned pale, "Shilang Lu has a wife who is extremely sharp-tongued."

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi glanced at Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing blinked at him, then stretched out her hand to hold his arm naturally, her voice was delicate and soft, "Although this is my first time visiting this capital, my husband doesn't need to hold me so close, I won't If you are lost, get ready to go back."

Lu Xingzhi's body stiffened.

The eldest princess paused slightly, then her face turned even colder.

She did not stay any longer and led the people out quickly from the couple.

"Farewell to Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess." Qiao Jingjing said crisply.

The eldest princess, who had already walked to the carriage, suddenly looked back at her and said, "I have been very bored lately. It just so happened that Mrs. Lu came to the capital. You and I are very happy to meet each other today. From tomorrow on, I will often come to the eldest princess's residence to accompany you. !”

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Looking at the frozen woman, the eldest princess consciously regained her composure, curled her lips, held Lu Jing's arm, and got into the carriage.

Soon, the group of people walked away.

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and looked at the man beside her, "Is she serious?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, pulled her hand away, and said calmly: "I'm scaring you."

"That's good." Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Xingzhi saw this, he suddenly said, "What did you say to the eldest princess?"

"Ah?" Qiao Jingjing was puzzled.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment and said calmly: "She said you were sharp-tongued."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing shrugged, "Actually, I didn't say anything..." After a pause, she looked at the handsome man beside her, and then added, "Mother Wan said that I am a village woman who cannot read or write. A man who is not worthy of you and who says that I have no self-awareness."

Lu Xingzhi frowned, "Don't listen to her nonsense, I've never felt that way."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him unexpectedly, and then said in a joking tone: "So, my husband actually thinks that I am worthy of you?"

Lu Xingzhi lowered his eyes and glanced at her. He did not answer her question, but said warmly: "Go back first."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing responded and dropped the topic wisely.

Maybe, in Lu Xingzhi's heart, she was indeed not worthy of him.

After all, the original owner had hooked up with other men behind his back.

Lu Xingzhi must have a grudge in his heart, right?

When Lu Xingzhi came, he took a carriage, so when he returned, Qiao Jingjing naturally went back with him in the carriage. "By the way, I just went to Wenmoxuan and bought you a writing brush." ​​In the carriage, Qiao Jingjing remembered something and quickly took out a box and handed it to Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her with dark eyes in surprise, and after a moment, he reached out and took it, "Thank you."

"Open it and take a look. It took me a long time to choose it." Qiao Jingjing said without blushing or heartbeat.

Lu Xingzhi opened the box as instructed and took out the brush.

"How's it going? Do you like it?" Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but ask when she saw him staring at the brush in deep thought.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and asked instead, "Madam, how much did you buy this brush for?"

When it comes to money, Qiao Jingjing can't help but feel guilty, but she insists: "The more expensive things are, the better..."

"I know." Lu Xingzhi nodded, looking at her with dark eyes, "So, how much did Madam spend on this pen?"

Qiao Jingjing paused and raised two fingers.

"Two taels of silver?" Lu Xingzhi asked.

Qiao Jingjing swallowed, "Twenty... pennies."

In her opinion, twenty cents for a brush was not cheap, but it was the cheapest one in the shop.

At this time, she heard the other party ask about the price, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

After all, the other party gave her fifty taels of silver.

Lu Xingzhi was silent.

"Twenty cents is quite a lot. You can't deny it just because it's cheap..."

Qiao Jingjing's voice stopped abruptly as she watched the man gently pull the tip of the pen, leaving a hair on his hand.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, brushed off the lint on his fingers, and put the pen back into the box slowly, "Madam is right, the price does not determine the quality of something, but..."

Qiao Jingjing held her breath and looked at him.

"At least it won't be of such low quality." Lu Xingzhi continued.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

"If Madam is reluctant to part with the money, you don't have to give it away." Lu Xingzhi looked at her and said in a cold voice.

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly and said, "I'm just a peasant woman. I don't know much about the quality of writing brushes, but I know that twenty cents can buy several liters of rice. Are you the same as Aunt Wan? Am I from the country?" After saying this, her tone became a little more accusatory, and she even took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, pretending to be sad.

Lu Xingzhi's mouth twitched suspiciously, "I don't dislike Madam. It's human nature for Madam not to understand the pros and cons of writing brushes."

Qiao Jingjing paused and put down the veil, "After all, my husband just dislikes me. I'm from the countryside."

"Madam, please don't forget that I am also from the countryside. If I dislike you, I will also dislike myself." Lu Xingzhi frowned and looked serious.

Qiao Jingjing's face softened slightly, "That's true, but the boss of Wen Moxuan is so deceptive. He actually sells such low-quality things. I want to return it." After that, she took the box from his hand and turned around. Ask someone to stop the car.

However, before she could take the next step, her wrist suddenly tightened.

She was stunned for a moment and looked back, only to see the man holding her wrist and saying in a calm voice: "Forget it, a pen worth twenty cents is of such quality, there is no need to return it."

"How is this possible? Twenty cents is money." Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and said disapprovingly.

Lu Xingzhi paused, let go, and took the box from her other hand, "This pen can be kept for Madam to practice calligraphy."

"Practice calligraphy?" Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, "Although Madam has never been to school, she can still practice calligraphy if she has time on weekdays."

Qiao Jingjing secretly curled her lips. After all, this man still thinks that she, who is illiterate, is very helpless, right?

"Since my husband asks so much, I am naturally willing to learn, but the question is, who will teach me how to read and practice calligraphy?"
