After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 331 It's not even the seventh day yet, why are you running back?

After coming out of the Yu family ancestral hall, neither the brother nor the sister spoke a word.

Their mother had a very hard life.

Now that Yu is dead, I hope their mother can rest in peace.

Qiao Jingjing looked up at the azure blue sky, feeling somewhat regretful.

If only her mother were still alive, she would take good care of her, be filial to her, and let her live the rest of her life without worries and smoothly.

It’s a pity that she can only think about such a beautiful vision.

She lowered her head and sighed softly.

Speaking of which, the reason why Yu was drowned so quickly was all thanks to Madam Yu.

She didn't expect that Madam Yu would act so quickly.

When she came out of Duke Qin's Mansion, she was originally going to go back to Lu's Mansion. When she was getting on the carriage, the person sent by Qin Xuan came back to report that Madam Yu had asked someone to invite the elders of the Yu clan to the ancestral hall, so she rushed over with Qin Xuan, and asked Leng Yi to hide in the dark, thinking that if the Yu family was going to be drowned, Yan Liang would definitely appear.

As expected, at the moment Yu was drowned in the pond, Yan Liang appeared and wanted to rescue Yu.

Thinking of Yan Liang, Qiao Jingjing paused. She never thought that someone as vicious as Yu could actually have someone who was so devoted to her.

"By the way, when Leng Yi was fighting with Yan Liang just now, his veil was knocked off, revealing his true face. Have you seen this person?" Qiao Jingjing broke the silence.

Qin Xuan shook his head, "I have never seen this person."

"Could he be a servant of the Duke's Mansion?" Qiao Jingjing thought thoughtfully.

Just now, Nanny Fang said that Yu found a man to relieve her stress.

But in her opinion, Yu wanted to take revenge on Duke Qin for not wanting to touch her, so she deliberately betrayed him.

The drug that Yu put in the food at that time should not be a strong aphrodisiac, but just a drug to enhance sexual pleasure. The reason why she thought so was because of what Nanny Fang said, that Duke Qin still did not touch Yu after eating the food with added ingredients.

If it was a powerful aphrodisiac, Duke Qin might not be able to control himself.

Therefore, Nanny Fang’s statement that Yu found a man to relieve her stress is totally untenable.

Given Yu's arrogance, it would be impossible for her to just pick a man casually, so Yan Liang must be a servant working in the Qin Guogong Mansion.

It is normal that Qin Xuan has never met Yan Liang.

After all, he was still young at that time.

Qin Xuan pondered for a moment and nodded, "It's possible. I'll have someone check it out when I get back."

Although the person was dead, Qiao Jingjing was still quite curious.

The main reason was that Yan Liang's martial arts skills were quite strong, and he was evenly matched with Leng Yi in a fight. If he hadn't been distracted by seeing Yu drowning in the pond, Leng Yi probably wouldn't have been able to take his life so easily.

Therefore, Yan Liang might not be just an ordinary servant.

Thinking of another thing, Qiao Jingjing hurriedly asked: "By the way, Duke Qin, have you found out where my mother is buried?"

Qin Xuan didn't think it was wrong that she refused to call Duke Qin "father".

He heard that Jingjing's adoptive father was very kind to her.

It may take some time for her to change her attitude towards her father.

"Dad didn't say anything, maybe he hasn't found out yet." Qin Xuan shook his head.

Qiao Jingjing felt sad when she heard this.

She was very worried because of Yu's viciousness. When her mother died, Yu did not allow anyone to bury her.

As for Yu Xiang and Old Madam Yu, she had even less hope.

Those two people are not worthy of being parents.

When her mother was still alive, they could have ignored her, but after her death, it was even more impossible for them to care.

Qin Xuan felt bad when he noticed that she was in a low mood. He said in a deep voice, "We will definitely find her. When the time comes, we will go to pay tribute to her together."

Qiao Jingjing gathered her thoughts and nodded after hearing this. "Okay."

"Let's go, I'll take you back first." Qin Xuan said. "Okay."

Lu Mansion.

As the brother and sister arrived at the mansion in their carriage, the eldest princess's carriage also arrived.

The eldest princess sat in the carriage with a melancholy look on her face.

After much persuasion from her, her mother finally gave her the Ningxiang Pills the day before yesterday.

Unfortunately it's too late.

By the time she arrived at the Lu residence with the Ningxiang Pills, Qiao Jingjing was already dead.

Because of this, she has been very depressed and blamed herself for the past two days.

If she had asked her mother for the Ningxiang Pills earlier, Qiao Jingjing might not have died.

She sighed, lifted the curtain and looked out.

Suddenly, I saw a man getting out of a carriage nearby.

She thought she was seeing things.

After being stunned for a moment, she quickly stood up and rushed out.

Without waiting for Lu Jing to bring the horse stool, she jumped off the shaft.

Because she moved too quickly, she accidentally twisted her foot.

She cried out in pain, but did not bother to check, her eyes fixed on the woman who turned around.

When their eyes met, the air seemed to stand still.

After a long while, the eldest princess was horrified and limped towards the woman beside the carriage. "It's not even the seventh day yet, why are you running back? Aren't you afraid of getting melted by the sun? Hurry and get in the carriage."

Qiao Jingjing looked at the eldest princess who suddenly went crazy with fear.

It’s just that we haven’t seen each other for a while. What happened to the princess?
Also, what did she mean by the seventh day?
Before she could sort out her thoughts, the eldest princess rushed over and carried her onto the shaft of the carriage.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

"How come you are so stupid as a ghost? Even if you can't bear to leave Lu Xingzhi, you can't come back during the day. Can't you wait until dark to act?" The eldest princess scolded, but her hands were not slow. They pushed Qiao Jingjing hard, trying to push her into the carriage.

Just then, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Qin Xuan stood there, looking at the eldest princess with a frown.

Seeing him, the princess was stunned for a moment, "Why are you in the carriage? Never mind, it's not important. Hurry up and take Qiao Jingjing's ghost away from here. She can't bask in the sun now."

The corner of Qin Xuan's eye twitched.

So the princess thinks Jingjing is dead?

At this moment, Qiao Jingjing finally understood the reason behind the eldest princess's sudden action.

People thought she was dead.

She looked at the eldest princess with difficulty in explaining.

I didn't expect that the eldest princess would talk nonsense.

Seeing that the two of them didn't move and were looking at her with indescribable eyes, the eldest princess said with an unpleasant expression: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly and held her hand. "No matter what, I am still very grateful to the princess for protecting me. But I am not dead. I am a human, not a ghost. Thank you!"

The princess looked at her suspiciously, "Not dead, what does that mean?"

Qiao Jingjing blinked. Well, the princess must be confused.

"Princess, didn't you notice that my hands are warm? When a person dies, their hands are cold." She held her hand and said seriously.

Upon hearing this, the princess finally realized that her hands were indeed hot.

Thinking of something, she frowned and said with an unpleasant expression: "What's going on? Why do they all say you are dead?"

"I faked my death." Qiao Jingjing explained.
