After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Qiao Jingjing blinked, "If your Highness is bored, you can let my brother accompany you. He has nothing to do these days."

The eldest princess glared at her and said, "If you don't come, try it!"

Qiao Jingjing complained inwardly: How domineering!
I wonder if her brother can handle it?
After the carriage drove away, she turned and walked towards the mansion gate with brisk steps.

In order to confuse Yu, she has been living with Lian Qimeng these days.

Now I can finally go home!
The doorman was a little surprised when he saw her come in, "Husband, Madam?"

Qiao Jingjing smiled back, "Thank you for your hard work."

The concierge was flattered and said, "It's not hard for me." But he was thinking, "Isn't the Madam fine? She's not dead."

The concierge was confused.

Qiao Jingjing planned to go back to the yard to take a hot bath, then go to pay her respects to Mr. and Mrs. Lu, and wait for Lu Xingzhi to come back, then ask the doctor for another diagnosis.

It's not that she didn't believe in the doctor's medical skills, it was just that it happened so suddenly that it seemed a little unreal to her.

But if you count the days, her period has not come for many days this month.

Her monthly period was not regular, so when she didn't come, I didn't take it seriously until today.

But it’s the first time that the period has exceeded the limit by so many days, like this month.

It seems that she is really pregnant.

I wonder if Lu Xingzhi will be very happy when he finds out that he is going to have a child?
Qiao Jingjing walked towards the Plum Courtyard, thinking aimlessly.

Just as I walked outside the gate of the Plum Courtyard, I saw a child peeking there, as if he was investigating something.

Qiao Jingjing paused and realized at a glance that the child was the little beggar that Lu Xingyan picked up last time.

So many things have happened recently that she almost forgot there was such a person in the mansion.

But it’s been so long, why hasn’t Lu’s mother sent her to the charity home yet?

Also, what was she trying to do, sneaking around outside her yard?
She became alert and shouted loudly, "Little girl, what are you doing here?"

The little beggar was startled by a sudden shout from behind.

She turned around and was surprised when she saw Qiao Jingjing, "You're not dead?"

Qiao Jingjing looked at her.

It's strange. She has been raised in the Lu Mansion for some time. In addition, Lu's mother has pity on her and gives her very good food. But why does she still look the same as when she was picked up, with almost no change?

Her face was still sallow and thin.

When she first saw her, she felt that she was a little strange, and now the strange feeling in her heart became even stronger.

"You seem disappointed that I'm not dead?" She looked at the little beggar with scrutiny.

The little beggar had come back to his senses, frowned secretly, and walked towards her, "Madam, why do you say that? I am so happy that you are not dead."

Seeing her approaching, Qiao Jingjing took two steps back and asked, "What are you doing in my yard?"

The little beggar saw through her defensiveness and said innocently, "I didn't do anything. I was just bored and wandered around. Before I knew it, I walked here. So the lady lives in this courtyard."

Qiao Jingjing said calmly, "Is that so? Then I'll ask someone to take you back."

"Thank you, ma'am." The little beggar bowed his head to thank her, but his hand quietly reached into his sleeve.

"Madam, you're back?" Just then, Jinkui and several other maids heard the noise and ran out from the yard. When they saw Qiao Jingjing, they all looked delighted.

At the same time, the little beggar quickly pulled out the dagger and stabbed it towards Qiao Jingjing's heart.

Although Qiao Jingjing had been staring at her, she was still surprised when she saw her actions, and she hurriedly dodged to the side.

But what surprised her was that the little beggar was very skilled and moved very fast. When she dodged to the side, the sharp dagger in the little beggar's hand, although it missed the target, still stabbed into her ribs.

Qiao Jingjing cried out in pain and stared at the little beggar in horror.

"Someone come quickly, there is an assassin--" Jinkui and the maids' faces changed drastically and they shouted loudly.

The little beggar looked at Qiao Jingjing who was stabbed, smiled coldly, pulled out the dagger, and wanted to stab again, but Jinkui and others rushed over and threw him to the ground, and the dagger in his hand fell to the side.

Qiao Jingjing was about to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the little beggar quickly broke free from several maids, and while the maids were still unable to recover, he jumped up from the ground and rushed towards her again.

Qiao Jingjing's face changed, she covered the wound under her ribs with one hand, and asked angrily: "Who sent you? Why did you want to assassinate me?"

"You don't need to know." The little beggar had a murderous look on his face, and he flew forward and grabbed Qiao Jingjing's neck. Looking at Qiao Jingjing's beautiful face twisted by suffocation, the little beggar showed a grim smile that didn't match his age.

This face is so beautiful, it's a pity that she is about to die in her hands.

Thinking of this, the smile on her face widened.

She hated beautiful women the most in her life.

Especially a woman like Qiao Jingjing who is as beautiful as a fairy.

However, as she laughed, she suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.

The smile on her face froze, and she looked down, only to see a golden hairpin stuck in her neck, and bright red blood soaking her collar.

The little beggar opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief, and his hand that was pinching Qiao Jingjing's neck loosened weakly.

Qiao Jingjing lowered her hands and took the opportunity to kick her out.

"boom!"

The little beggar fell to the ground, and she never figured out until her death how Qiao Jingjing, a weak woman who couldn't even lift anything with her hands or carry anything on her shoulders, could have killed her?

At the same time, Jinkui quickly stepped forward and supported Qiao Jingjing's shaky body, "Madam, how are you?"

"I'm fine..." Qiao Jingjing leaned on her and panted.

She was stabbed by the little beggar. Although it was not a vital point, the pain made her break out in a cold sweat. Moreover, in order to confuse the little beggar, she deliberately did not dodge, allowing him to strangle her neck. Even though she managed to kill the little beggar in the end, her neck was also painful.

Thinking of something, she suddenly panicked, "Jinkui, hurry up and get someone to call a doctor!"

Jinkui thought she was injured somewhere, but Chongxi and his men arrived just in time and shouted, "Madam is injured, go get a doctor!"

Chongxi was startled, and when he saw that the assassin was dead, he turned around and asked for a doctor.

Qiao Jingjing was afraid that something might happen to the baby in her belly, so she dared not move.

At this time, she hoped that the doctor had misdiagnosed her and that she was not actually pregnant.

After all, she had been stabbed and strangled by the little beggar, and she was afraid that it would affect the fetus in her belly.

So she hoped that the doctor had made a wrong diagnosis.

Just as she was feeling uneasy, the voice of a servant saluted, "Sir!"

As soon as Qiao Jingjing raised her head from Jinkui's arms, she saw Lu Xingzhi walking towards her quickly.

His expression was very ugly, but Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and reached out to him.

Lu Xingzhi quickly stepped forward, picked her up and carried her into the yard.

Not long after, Lu's father, mother and others who got the news also hurried over.

When they saw the blood on Qiao Jingjing's dress, Lu's mother and Lu Shuangshuang turned pale with fright.

"What's going on? Why is there an assassin in the mansion?"

"Jingjing, how are you? Where does it hurt?"

Seeing that they were worried, Qiao Jingjing quickly comforted them, "It's okay, it's okay. The blood just looks scary, it's just a flesh wound." Seeing that Lu Xingzhi had a gloomy face and frowned, she wanted to tell him about her pregnancy, but suddenly she was afraid that she would not be able to keep the baby because of her injury, so she gave up.

Thinking of that possibility, she felt depressed and heavy.

At this moment, she wished she was not actually pregnant.

The doctor came soon.

Coincidentally, the doctor who was invited was the same doctor who had taken her pulse in the clinic.

Seeing Qiao Jingjing, the doctor was shocked. "It hasn't been long since you left the clinic. How did you get yourself into this state?"

Qiao Jingjing smiled bitterly. She didn’t want to do that either.

The doctor calmed down, first gave her medicine to stop the bleeding, and then took her pulse.

After a while, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, Madam is in good health and the baby in her belly is fine. However, the injury is under the ribs and she has lost a lot of blood. From now on, you have to stay in bed and rest."

When they heard the word "baby in the belly", everyone in the Lu family looked confused.

"What child?" Father Lu was the first to react and asked quickly. (End of this chapter)
