After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 366 Your biological mother is still alive

The guard bowed to her and reported: "Miss, this man said he wants to see the Duke for something important."

Hearing this, Qin Yue'er looked at Zhao Dali with contempt, and then said to the guard unhappily, "How do you do things? Just because he said he had something important to tell you, you believed him? If that's the case, wouldn't our Duke's Mansion be like a vegetable market, where anyone can come?"

Zhao Dali's expression changed, but he held back his anger and said, "My lady, I am not a beggar. I do have something important to discuss with Duke Qin."

"Get out. If you don't get out, I'll have someone arrest you." Qin Yue'er's voice was cold and disgusted.

The guard had no choice but to step forward and drive Zhao Dali away. "You'd better leave quickly, otherwise you will suffer if you are really caught."

Zhao Dali frowned tightly.

Under the escort of the guards, he had to leave the Duke's Mansion.

However, he did not go far, but went around to the back door.

He touched the copper coins in his purse and wanted to use some silver to find out the whereabouts of Duke Qin from the servants in the Duke's Mansion as he did last time. However, he gave up when he thought that there was not much money left at home.

He squatted at the entrance of the alley, intending to wait here.

If you are lucky, you might be able to wait for the carriage of the Duke of Qin or the Crown Prince of Qin to pass by.

The weather in early spring is still very cold, especially at the entrance of the alley, where the wind is as cold as a knife.

What he didn't know was that Duke Qin had gone out early in the morning and Qin Xuan was not in the mansion either.

Zhao Dali waited until it was almost dark, but he didn't see the Qin Duke's carriage passing by, so he had to leave the city first, otherwise the city gate would be closed if he was any later.

When we returned to Zhaojia Village, it was already completely dark.

When Xiao Cui saw him coming back, she quickly cooked him a bowl of noodles and asked, "How was it? Did you see Duke Qin?"

Zhao Dali had been hungry and cold for a whole day, so he didn't have time to talk. He finished the noodles in one breath before he recovered.

"No, but I will go again tomorrow."

Xiao Cui's heart sank when she heard this.

That's true. How could ordinary people like them easily meet someone of Duke Qin's status?
But now that they knew that Prince Qin was the young lady's child, they were not willing to give up.

The young lady and the child must be allowed to recognize each other.

So the next morning, Zhao Dali went to the capital again.

But on this day, he heard a shocking news.

It turned out that the wife of the Minister of Personnel, Ms. Qiao, was actually the biological daughter of Duke Qin.

This news was truly shocking and spread throughout the capital. This was why Zhao Dali heard about it as soon as he stepped into the capital.

Zhao Dali was also shocked when he heard the news.

He quickly leaned into the crowd to inquire.

There are just all kinds of opinions.

Some people say that Qiao Jingjing is the illegitimate daughter of Duke Qin, while others say that Qiao Jingjing is the twin sister of Prince Qin.

After hearing this, Zhao Dali decided to try his luck at Lu Mansion.

What if Qiao Jingjing is really the prince’s twin sister, then doesn’t that mean she is also the young lady’s child?

Xiao Cui said back then that the young lady did give birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

But the last time he inquired about the news, he only heard about Prince Qin, and thought that the young lady had been killed by Yu long ago.

Although he didn't know why Duke Qin only recognized his daughter now, Zhao Dali felt that this matter must be related to the Yu family.

Thinking of this, he quickly quickened his pace and went to Lu's Mansion.

After some inquiries, he finally found the Lu Mansion.

The Lu Mansion was not as solemn as the Duke's Mansion. There were no guards at the gate, but the door was tightly closed. It would probably not be easy to see Madam Lu.

But he decided to give it a try anyway.

So he went to knock on the door. The concierge opened the door and saw a country man standing there stiffly. He did not get angry, but asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Seeing that he was not impatient, Zhao Dali was relieved and explained his purpose, "I am a villager from Zhaojia Village, and I have something important to report to Madam Lu of your mansion."

The concierge was a little surprised, but he didn't wave him away. He just said, "Then wait here for a while. I'll go in and ask for instructions."

Zhao Dali was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly. He thought that he would be ridiculed and mocked like yesterday, and then driven away.

Coming back to his senses, he was delighted and nodded quickly, "Thank you."

The concierge did not delay and went there quickly.

The reason why the doorman did not drive Zhao Dali away or mock him was because the Lu family never looked down on anyone. In addition, the Lu family all came from the countryside, and they followed the example of their superiors. Naturally, the people below did not dare to look down on anyone who came to their door.

When Qiao Jingjing received the report from the servant, she was changing clothes and planning to go to Duke Qin's Mansion.

Her father had announced this morning that she was his biological daughter, and he also held a banquet, inviting clan members, relatives and friends to celebrate for her.

When she heard the servant's report, she was a little surprised, "Are you saying that the people who came are villagers from Zhaojia Village?"

Qing Yuan nodded. "That's what the concierge said. He said the person is still waiting outside."

After a period of rest, Qing Yuan's injuries had healed long ago, but Qiao Jingjing kept ordering her to rest. She herself couldn't sit still and insisted on serving Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing just let her do what she wanted.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing said, "Then take the person to the front yard and wait. I'll be there in a moment."

"Yes." Qing Yuan went there immediately.

Qiao Jingjing has a good impression of the people in Zhaojia Village. The people there are simple and honest, and the villagers are warm-hearted and kind.

I must have something important to tell you when I come to see her this time.

Lu Xingzhi was reading a book nearby. When he heard that she was going to meet the villagers of Zhaojia Village, he accompanied her.

When the couple arrived at the front yard, Zhao Dali had already been brought in.

He stood there awkwardly. Even when the servants asked him to sit down, he did not dare to do so, nor did he dare to walk around, for fear that the yellow mud on the soles of his shoes would rub against other people's exquisite carpets.

At this time, he heard footsteps, turned around, and saw Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing.

Zhao Dali was stunned for a moment.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, like immortals.

Zhao Dali was shocked by their looks.

Especially the woman’s appearance, she looks just like a young lady when she was young.

At that moment, he was so nervous that his palms were sweating, and he felt that he might have found the right person this time.

Thinking of this, he quickly knelt down and saluted the two of them, "I, Zhao Dali, greet you, sir and madam."

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi reached out and helped him up, "No need to bow, just sit down."

Zhao Dali didn't dare to sit down. He clenched his hands and stood stiffly. "I have no choice but to come here today. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing that he was honest and simple, and also very polite, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but feel a little curious about him, "Don't be nervous. If you have something to say, sit down and talk."

Zhao Dali still shook his head and asked, "Excuse me, Madam Lu, are you really the biological daughter of Duke Qin?"

Qiao Jingjing was surprised. She didn't expect him to ask about this.

In fact, her father just released this news today.

Although she was puzzled as to why a villager like Zhao Dali would ask such a question, she still answered: "Yes, I am the biological daughter of Duke Qin."

Zhao Dali suppressed his excitement when he heard this and asked, "So you and Prince Qin are from the same mother, and both were born to Miss Yu Fei'er?"

Qiao Jingjing was even more surprised. She exchanged glances with Lu Xingzhi before replying, "Yes, Prince Qin and I are siblings from the same mother. In fact, we are twins, a boy and a girl."

"Then, then..." Zhao Dali was so excited that he was incoherent, "If, I mean if, if your biological mother was still alive, what would you do?"
