After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 36 Give you a chance

"Don't worry, Mom, I can handle it." Qiao Jingjing knew her concerns and comforted her.

Lu Shuangshuang, who was drinking tea at the side, heard this and sneered, "Can you handle it? Don't laugh at other people's teeth. When the time comes, I'm afraid it will only embarrass my elder brother!"

"Shuangshuang!" Father Lu shouted displeased.

Lu Shuangshuang curled her lips, "I'm not wrong, aren't you worried? She used to be in Xingzi Village, but she never read a book and couldn't read a single Chinese character. Now those noble ladies suddenly invited her to appreciate the chrysanthemums. , if there is a question to test her and she cannot answer it, she will definitely become the laughing stock of everyone, and my eldest brother will also be laughed at by his colleagues."

Hearing this, neither Mother Lu nor Lu Xingyan spoke. Father Lu didn't agree very much. He frowned and said, "That's not what you said..."

"If they know that I come from the country, and they still deliberately set questions to test me, it means that they have bad intentions from the beginning. So even if I answer the question, how many times can they look at me favorably?

If I don’t know it, I won’t. No matter how much I pretend, it’s useless, and I don’t think I need to force myself in order to cater to those people.

The status your husband has today is all earned by his own abilities. It is not because we have face in front of the female relatives that the emperor will appreciate our husband.

I haven't read any books, but I will try my best to behave appropriately in Mrs. Lu's position and not to disgrace my husband. " Qiao Jingjing interrupted Father Lu's words, her voice was clear and graceful, but she was still disappointed.

Lu Shuangshuang was choked hard by her.

Mother Lu looked at Qiao Jingjing with some surprise.

Father Lu and Lu Xingyan came to their senses, nodded and praised, "Jingjing (sister-in-law) is so right!"

Qiao Jingjing smiled softly, "I made dad and Xingyan laugh."

Father Lu looked at Mother Lu and said with a smile: "Jingjing is so thoughtful. You don't have to worry about the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet tomorrow. I think this child can handle it."

Mother Lu came back to her senses, glanced at the gentle Qiao Jingjing, nodded and said, "I was worrying too much."

Lu Shuangshuang also came to her senses at this moment. She looked at Qiao Jingjing unwillingly and said sarcastically: "I hope you can be as calm as you are today when you face those ladies tomorrow, but don't even meet them then. If you don’t even dare to say anything, it will be a joke.”

"Your sister-in-law wouldn't do that. I believe you would do that." Father Lu couldn't stand listening anymore and said unhappily.

Lu Shuangshuang bit her lip and said angrily: "Why do you always face outsiders?"

Father Lu frowned, "Jingjing is your eldest brother's wife, how can she be an outsider? If you keep talking nonsense, your eldest brother will fine you this month's monthly payment."

Lu Shuangshuang finally stopped when he heard that his monthly payment might be deducted.

"Master, Madam, the food has been set, you can eat." Aunt Rong came in to report.

Mother Lu nodded, stood up and said, "It's getting late, let's eat."

After dinner, when Qiao Jingjing went back, she saw that the moonlight was nice, so she walked around in the garden.

When I returned, I suddenly heard an angry voice behind the tree saying: "I'm really angry. My mother originally agreed to let me accompany Qiao Jingjing to the banquet, but because of Qiao Jingjing's few words, she gave up the idea.

I want to see how Qiao Jingjing will end up without me accompanying her? "

"Miss, please don't be angry. Without your help, Madam will definitely be ostracized and make things difficult for you at tomorrow's Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet. She might even come back crying tomorrow. At that time, Madam will definitely regret not listening to your suggestion. , let you accompany my wife." Another voice said flatteringly.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, she already knew who was speaking behind the tree.

It was Lu Shuangshuang and her maid.

She did not expect that Lu Shuangshuang targeted her before dinner and deliberately belittled her, with the intention of accompanying her to the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet.

Mrs. Lin's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet will definitely invite some young girls in addition to ladies from various mansions.

But Lu Shuangshuang was not invited. After all, she had just arrived and was not well-known yet.

So I wanted to step on her and go to the banquet to show off. How ridiculous!

Qiao Jingjing curled her lips and sneered, but did not say anything, but turned back to Meixiangyuan.

As soon as she entered the room, Qingyuan said angrily: "Madam, how could Miss Shuangshuang do that?"

"She has always been like that." Qiao Jingjing said lightly.

"But no matter what, Madam is also Miss Shuangshuang's sister-in-law. She really disrespects you like that." Qingyuan still felt angry and felt unfair for her master.

Thinking of Lu Shuangshuang's criticism every time, Qiao Jingjing suddenly felt that it was time to teach her a lesson, and she immediately had an idea in her mind.

The next day.

Lu Shuangshuang was still asleep when she was woken up by the maid.

"Miss, something good happened."

"What a good thing?" Lu Shuangshuang's face was full of displeasure at being woken up.

"Madam just sent Qingyuan over and asked you to accompany her to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet today." The maid said happily.

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, the displeasure on his face was instantly replaced by pride, "Seriously?"

"It's absolutely true. Qingyuan just left and said that Madam is waiting for you in the front yard." The maid also had a proud expression on her face.

The corners of Lu Shuang's lips curled up. Last night, in front of her parents, Qiao Jingjing acted so calm and confident. She also said that she was really fearless, but after just one night, she actually wanted to Went with her.

What a tough-tongued duck!
Lu Shuangshuang sneered coldly and ordered: "Serve me to wash up."

forecourt.

Qiao Jingjing didn't wait too long, Lu Shuangshuang arrived quickly.

She was wearing a brand-new dress and fresh makeup on her face. She looked no different from a noble lady.

Qiao Jingjing looked away. The Lu family were all very good-looking, and Lu Shuangshuang was no exception. With a little dressing up, she looked very eye-catching.

"Qiao Jingjing, you begged me to accompany you today." As they approached, Lu Shuangshuang spoke with a haughty expression.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at her and said calmly: "I didn't ask you, I just saw that you wanted to go, so I gave you a chance."

Lu Shuangshuang's expression changed, he clenched his fists and said, "Qiao Jingjing!"

"You don't need to speak so loudly, and others are not deaf. If you don't want to go, you don't have to go." Qiao Jingjing said, walking towards the door.

Lu Shuangshuang stood there, his face livid, and the pride and arrogance he had just now was gone.

The maid whispered beside her: "Miss...then shall we go or not?"

"Of course I want to go!" Lu Shuangshuang said coldly, "It's not Qiao Jingjing who organized the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. Why should I not go because of her few words?"

The maid lowered her head, not daring to say anything anymore.

As soon as Qiao Jingjing got on the carriage, she saw Lu Shuangshuang coming up. She was not surprised by this.

Lu Shuangshuang always wants to show off her face at banquets. The opportunity is right in front of her, how could she give up so easily?
