After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

After the worship, the group returned to Duke Qin's Mansion.

Qin Moyuan brought Qiao Jingjing in front of the guests.

“This is my biological daughter, Jingjing, Qin Moyuan’s daughter. She and Qin Xuan are twin siblings, but because of the Yu family’s interference, we were separated for seventeen years. At the end of last year, we were able to recognize each other.

From today on, Jingjing officially recognizes her ancestry and will be the legitimate daughter of Duke Qin's mansion. "Qin Moyuan announced in a sonorous and powerful voice, full of pride.

"Congratulations, Duke Qin!"

"Congratulations Miss Jingjing!"

For a time, the sound of celebrations was endless.

And just at this moment, Qin Yue'er suddenly walked in.

Seeing her, everyone's expression was a little subtle.

Qin Yue'er seemed not to notice the strange looks from the crowd. She walked straight to Qin Moyuan and Qiao Jingjing and said happily, "I'm so happy that daddy has recognized me today. This is the gift I prepared for you. Please accept it." As she spoke, she handed the box in her hand to Qiao Jingjing.

Qin Moyuan's face darkened, and he ordered the servant beside him: "Come here, send Qin Yue'er back to the yard to rest."

The maid immediately stepped forward to help Qin Yue'er, but she pushed her away with one hand.

Qin Yue'er was furious at this moment, but her face showed aggrieved, "Dad, I am also your daughter. I have called you dad for more than ten years. Are you going to disown me just because of mom's mistake? Or do you want to consider sister Jingjing's feelings? I won't compete with her for anything. I just want to congratulate Dad and sister for recognizing each other."

She said this to win the sympathy of the guests, and she also expected that Duke Qin would not chase her away for the sake of his reputation.

But she was wrong.

When the guests heard what she said, they thought she was really shameless.

What does it mean that you don't recognize her just because of her mother's mistake?

She is not the daughter of Duke Qin. For so many years, Duke Qin was kept in the dark by Yu and raised a daughter for someone else. Duke Qin had been wronged enough, and he allowed a bastard like her to live in the Duke's Mansion. He had already done his utmost and was very generous. However, she was getting more and more demanding and wanted to compete with Qiao Jingjing, her biological daughter.

For a moment, everyone looked at her with condemnation. Qin Yue'er was really ungrateful.

Qiao Jingjing didn't want to spoil her either, so she said coldly, "Qin Yue'er, you don't have to act pitiful anymore. You know how much you hate me in your heart. Also, don't call me sister. I won't recognize the daughter of the murderer of my mother as my sister!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin Yue'er's expression changed.

The guests looked at Qin Yue'er with even more disgust.

Yes, not only did Yu replace her sister and marry Duke Qin, she also killed her own sister. Isn’t Yu the enemy of Qin Xuan and his sister?
How could Qin Yue'er, the daughter of the enemy, have the nerve to appear in front of the brother and sister again?

That voice of "sister" is really disgusting.

"Miss Qin Yue'er, you should be content. Duke Qin, Prince Qin, and Madam Lu are already very generous to tolerate you living in the Duke's Mansion. You really shouldn't come out on such a happy day to bring bad luck to them."

"That's right. Even though what your mother did has nothing to do with you, you are her daughter after all. You are also the child born from Yu's betrayal of Duke Qin. As a person, you must have a sense of shame."

Everyone was talking.

Qin Yue'er's expression turned extremely ugly.

She originally wanted to make things difficult for Qiao Jingjing, but unexpectedly, everyone sided with Qiao Jingjing.

She clenched her fingertips tightly, her heart filled with hatred.

"Someone, send Qin Yue'er back to the yard." At this time, Qin Xuan gave the order coldly.

Immediately, two strong women came forward and held Qin Yue'er. Qin Yue'er wanted to resist, but the hands of the two women were like iron, not allowing her to struggle at all, and quickly took her away.

After Qin Yue'er left, the atmosphere was quiet for a moment. At this moment, Xiahou Xi came out and livened up the atmosphere. "Today is a great day. Everyone should drink a few more glasses. We won't leave until we are drunk!"

For a moment, everyone forgot about the incident and echoed, "Don't go home until you are drunk!"

When the banquet was about to end, Lin Jiucai hurried in.

Qiao Jingjing was still thinking about Zhao Dali's matter, and her eyes were fixed on the direction of the mansion gate. When she saw Lin Jiu, she asked anxiously: "Lin Jiu, how is it?"

The eldest princess and others sitting next to her were a little surprised when they saw this.

"Jingjing, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" Mother Lu couldn't help but ask.

Seeing that the guests were all looking at her, Qiao Jingjing could only suppress her anxiety and said with a smile, "Nothing." Then she found an excuse, stood up and called Lin Jiu aside to question him.

"Madam, I followed Zhao Dali to Zhaojia Village and his home. I found that in addition to his wife and children, there was another woman in his family.

Although the woman has dark skin, I think her features are somewhat similar to yours." Lin Jiu said solemnly.

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing clenched her fingers and could no longer wait, so she hurriedly ordered, "Hurry up and prepare the carriage. I want to go to Zhaojia Village myself."

Lu Xingzhi happened to come over, and after hearing this, he asked a few questions and then asked Lin Jiu to prepare the car.

"Husband, my mother might...really still be alive." Qiao Jingjing's voice trembled when she said this.

"Well, I'll go with you in a while." Lu Xingzhi said gently.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing held back.

Qiao Jingjing waited until the banquet was over and the guests left before following Lu Xingzhi out, but was stopped by Qin Xuan.

"What happened?" He frowned and looked at the two of them.

He had long noticed that Jingjing was a little absent-minded today, especially when Lin Jiu rushed over in a hurry just now.

He had a feeling something was going on.

Qiao Jingjing thought about it and decided to tell him.

"Someone found me today and told me some strange things. Our mother... may still be alive. I am going to Zhaojia Village with my husband to check it out."

Qin Xuan couldn't believe it when he heard it, "Really?"

"I don't know if it's true or not. I'll know after I go and see it. If you're free, come along." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Yes." Immediately, the three of them set off for Zhaojia Village.

After seeing off the guests, Duke Qin saw the three people in a hurry and asked hurriedly, "Where are you going?"

Brother and sister Qiao Jingjing looked at each other and decided not to tell him for the time being.

They knew that their father felt very guilty and regretful about their mother's death, so it was better not to let him know until the matter was confirmed, so as not to disappoint him.

"Dad, it's nothing. I'll take Jingjing back." Qin Xuan said.

Upon hearing this, Duke Qin looked at the eldest princess who was still in the Duke's Mansion, took two steps closer, and whispered to his son, "Jingjing has Ah Xing to accompany her. The prince is coming today, so you should go and accompany him." (End of this chapter)
