After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Lu Xingzhi noticed that Lu Shuangshuang seemed to be vaguely relieved, and warned: "Your sister-in-law is tired, don't disturb her to rest."

"I got it. I'll leave after I help my sister-in-law back." Lu Shuangshuang said obediently.

Lu Xingzhi said nothing more and walked away.

After he walked away, Lu Shuangshuang couldn't help but pat her chest.

Qiao Jingjing said with a smile: "Is your brother that scary?"

Lu Shuangshuang took her arm and nodded seriously, "Terrible."

Qiao Jingjing was puzzled, "Why are you afraid of your brother? He's actually a very nice guy."

"That's for your own good. You've never been nice to me." Lu Shuangshuang's face fell.

"You are so heartless to say that." Qiao Jingjing deliberately frowned.

Lu Shuangshuang's mouth twitched. "I was just telling the truth, why are you still protecting me? Okay, okay, I was just kidding, is that okay?

In fact, my brother was not unkind to me, it’s just that he was several years older than me, and when we were young, he was devoted to his studies, so we couldn’t play together. Over time, our relationship as siblings became distant.

But in my heart, I respect him very much.”

"That's more like it." Qiao Jingjing snorted coldly, and decided to protect Lu Xingzhi's image in her sister's heart, so she said, "He is the eldest son, and he has to bear much more than you and A Yan. He can't be smiling and joking with you all day long. In addition, he is in a high position and has to maintain his dignity. As his family, we have to understand him and protect him."

Lu Shuangshuang said ashamedly: "I understand. I will respect my brother more in the future."

"That's right. When you enter the palace in the future, your elder brother will be your strongest supporter." Qiao Jingjing suggested.

"I know." Lu Shuangshuang nodded.

Qiao Jingjing looked relieved. "By the way, you came here in such a hurry just now, is there something you want to tell me?"

After she mentioned it, Lu Shuangshuang just remembered it, and her face suddenly became strange, "Sister-in-law, have you heard? Qin Yue'er was found out of the Four Barbarians Pavilion today with disheveled clothes. There are all kinds of unpleasant things said outside, saying that Qin Yue'er couldn't wait to devote herself to the prince of Canglang Country before she even got married. Some people also said that she is indeed a bastard, so unself-respecting, just like her mother.

Tsk tsk, now Qin Yue'er's reputation is ruined."

The Siyi Hall was where foreign envoys lived.

Qiao Jingjing was surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

"It's true. I went out with my mother today and heard it with my own ears. People are talking about it on the streets now." Lu Shuangshuang said.

Qiao Jingjing was very surprised. She didn't expect Qin Yue'er's retribution to come so soon.

Thinking of what Lu Xingzhi had said to her the day before, she immediately felt that it must have been Chu Zongling who did it.

He must have been the one who spread those rumors.

"Sister-in-law, do you think these are true? Or did someone spread them deliberately?" Lu Shuangshuang asked.

"It should be true." Qiao Jingjing nodded affirmatively.
"Is it true? I thought it was just a rumor." Lu Shuangshuang said in surprise.

"Don't people say there is no smoke without fire? What everyone says is very convincing, so there must be some basis for it." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Sister-in-law, do you know something?" Lu Shuangshuang looked at her puzzledly.

Qiao Jingjing was somewhat surprised at her sharpness. She blinked and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Lu Shuangshuang frowned, "I just feel like you seem to know something."

"I don't know." Qiao Jingjing denied, "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have heard of it at all."

"That's true." Lu Shuangshuang's doubts disappeared.

……

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Qin.

Qin Yue'er had been scrubbing in the bathtub for half a day. Her skin was all broken and the water had turned cold, but she still didn't get up from the tub.

Xiao Yanzhao!
She looked vicious.

She would not let go of the humiliation she had suffered. She would not let go of the people who plotted against her.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out who had schemed against her.

Chu Zongling, Lu Xingzhi, Lu Xingyan, and even Qiao Jingjing and Qin Xuan are all suspects.

Who harmed her?
The maid outside the house was very worried when she saw that the young lady had been in there for a long time and had not come out.

But thinking of the young lady's bad temper, he did not dare to urge her.

After a long time, the door finally opened and Qin Yue'er walked out with a pale face and unsteady steps.

"Miss." The maid hurried forward to support her.

"Get lost!" Qin Yue'er slapped the maid in the face, "Are you also laughing at me?"

"I dare not." The maidservant knelt down immediately without caring about the pain on her face.

The other maids didn't dare to breathe when they saw this.

"Get out, all of you get out!" Qin Yue'er got angry when she saw them. She always felt that they were laughing at her in their hearts.

All the maids retreated.

Later, Xiao Yanzhao came to visit Qin Yue'er with gifts.

Qin Xuan happened to be in the mansion, and naturally he heard about the ridiculous things between Qin Yue'er and Xiao Yanzhao. When he saw Xiao Yanzhao dared to come to his house, he immediately felt disgusted.

If he didn't want to ruin Qin Yue'er's marriage to the Canglang Kingdom, he would have had Qin Yue'er driven out long ago.

"Prince Qin." Xiao Yanzhao saw him with a smile on his face.

Qin Xuan was very annoyed with him and didn't want to see him any more. "The prince is here to look for Qin Yue'er, right? Someone, take the prince to Qin Yue'er's yard."

Xiao Yanzhao was indeed here to look for Qin Yue'er. Upon hearing this, he smiled with an ambiguous tone, "Then this prince will not bother the prince."

Qin Xuanjun had a cold look on his face and did not respond to him.

Xiao Yanzhao curled his lips in boredom and followed the servants of the Duke's Mansion.

Qin Yue'er was sleeping in the room when she suddenly felt a weight on her body, as if something was pressing down on her.

She opened her eyes in surprise.

When he saw Xiao Yanzhao, his face was full of fear, and when he came to his senses, he started punching and kicking him.

Xiao Yanzhao was hit by her punch unexpectedly, and immediately flew into a rage. He raised his hand and slapped her, and laughed grimly twice, "It seems that I didn't work hard enough yesterday."

Qin Yue'er covered her face and stared at him in shock and anger, "This is the Duke's Mansion, not a place where you can do whatever you want, get out now!"

"So what if it's the Duke's Mansion? You are my fiancée. Besides, I came to your room at the instruction of your brother." Xiao Yanzhao was fearless and tore off her dress.

Qin Yue'er was horrified, "Someone, come quickly..."

"You can scream even if you shout at the top of your lungs, but no one will come. I have sent all the servants in your yard away." Xiao Yanzhao looked arrogant.

Qin Yue'er's face turned pale. For the first time, she felt the feeling of being abandoned by everyone.

……

The next day.

Qiao Jingjing received an imperial decree from the Queen Mother, asking her and Lu Shuangshuang to enter the palace.

After they had packed up, they just walked out of the mansion and saw the eldest princess' carriage parked there.

Qiao Jingjing stopped in surprise.

"You are so slow! Are you clumsy?" At this time, the eldest princess lifted the curtain and looked at the two of them with a frown.

Qiao Jingjing responded and said with a smile: "Your Highness looks quite energetic. Has your foot injury healed?" (End of this chapter)
