After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 372 My Father is Your Husband
Butler Xu looked surprised.

The Duke has never asked about the servants' affairs before, but now he not only wants to review them personally, but he is also so anxious. Is there going to be any distinguished guests coming to the mansion tomorrow?

Could it be Miss Jingjing?
This doesn't make sense. The Duke had already asked him to prepare Miss Jingjing's courtyard.

But if it wasn't Miss Jingjing, who else could make the Duke so concerned?
Butler Xu did not dare to delay and went to do it immediately.

At this time in Zhaojia Village, after the woman fell asleep, Qiao Jingjing and Qin Xuan followed Xiao Cui to the next room to talk.

Qiao Jingjing thought about how Auntie Xiao Cui advised her not to refuse her mother's help in washing her feet, and couldn't help asking, "Auntie Xiao Cui, is there anything else you haven't told us?"

Xiao Cui was silent for a while, then said: "I know that you and the prince are both good children, and you are really willing to accept the young lady, but there are some things that I have to tell you after thinking about it.

When your mother was pregnant with you and the prince, although she didn't know much about the world, she loved her children from the bottom of her heart.

After you and your sister were taken away by the Yu family, although we escaped death, your mother became... even crazier because of the loss of two children. During those two years, she looked for you day and night. Whenever she saw someone holding a child, she thought it was her child and wanted to take it back.

Sometimes we didn’t take good care of her and she ran away. When she came back, she was always injured and in a state of dismay.”

When Qiao Jingjing and Qin Xuan heard this, their hearts tightened and they felt very painful.

Although Xiao Cui did not go into details, she said that her mother would sneak out and always come back covered in injuries. It must be because she wanted to steal someone else's child and was beaten by others.

Xiao Cui wiped her tears and continued, "Later, I gave birth to Ah Sheng for Dali. Since then, your mother's condition has finally stabilized.

She treated A Sheng as her own child and helped me take care of him.

Maybe because she had someone to rely on, she no longer thought about her two children, but I think she did not forget, but buried you deep in her heart.

Because she knows that she has no ability to find you.

In fact, it is also your uncle Dali and I who are incompetent. We knew that the child was taken away by Yu, and that Yu wanted to harm your mother and also harmed so many servants in the other village, but we were too timid to ask her for justice. "

"How can I blame you for this?" Qiao Jingjing held her hand. "You've done a great job in saving our mother. My brother and I are very grateful to you."

"Yes, Aunt Xiao Cui, if you go to find Yu, your whereabouts will definitely be exposed. Given Yu's viciousness, you will not be able to escape his clutches. We are very glad that you and Uncle Dali are so rational and have endured it." Qin Xuan also said.

Xiao Cui felt relieved when she saw that they didn't blame her.

"Aunt Xiao Cui, don't worry, my brother and I will be filial to our mother in the future." Qiao Jingjing knew her concerns and assured her.

"I believe you." Xiao Cui nodded.

……

The next day.

Qiao Jingjing woke up early in the morning.

Last night, she slept with her mother.

But when she came to sleep, her mother was already asleep.

Looking at the woman sleeping beside her, Qiao Jingjing felt touched and satisfied.

God was kind to their family and allowed them to be reunited.

Qiao Jingjing looked at her mother carefully.

I just feel like I can never see enough.

Except that my mother's skin is a little darker and rougher, the foundation is still there and her facial features are exactly like hers.

As I was looking at her, suddenly, the woman's eyelashes moved.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing immediately lay back down, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.

Sure enough, after a while, the woman woke up, but when she saw that Qiao Jingjing was not covered with the quilt, she immediately tiptoed to cover her with the quilt.

This is her daughter.

Her daughter is so pretty.

The woman was stunned for a moment. Qiao Jingjing felt warm in her heart. Her mother actually covered her with a quilt.

She couldn't lie still any longer, so she pretended to have just woken up and said with a smile, "Morning, Mom."

The woman was caught peeking and immediately lay back under the quilt.

Qiao Jingjing pulled back the quilt with amusement, "Mom, are you going to get up?"

Seeing her daughter looking at her with a smile on her face, the woman became a little bolder. She reached out and touched her daughter's soft face, then touched her own rough face, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing smiled and said, "Mom, I have a way to make your face smooth and lustrous."

The woman was delighted, "Really?"

"Mom, do you believe me?" Qiao Jingjing asked back.

"I believe it." The woman nodded repeatedly.

Qiao Jingjing was amused by her reaction and was very pleased. "Since mother believes in me, I must find a way to restore mother to her original state."

"What did I look like before?" The woman was stunned.

"Yes, Aunt Xiao Cui told me that when mom was young, she was more beautiful than me." Qiao Jingjing said with a smile.

Hearing this, the woman lowered her head in embarrassment, "Xiao Cui, what are you talking about? How can I be as pretty as Jingjing?"

"Aunt Xiao Cui is not talking nonsense. I was born by my mother, and I look so pretty, so my mother must be prettier than me." Qiao Jingjing said seriously.

When the woman heard this, she became happy and said, "Jingjing is right. You and Xuan'er are both born by the same mother. Jingjing and Xuan'er are both so good-looking, so I must be good-looking too."

"Yes, that's the truth." Qiao Jingjing looked happy.

The mother and daughter were talking in the house, when suddenly the sound of a carriage and noisy voices were heard outside.

Qiao Jingjing's heart moved, and she shook the woman's hand and said, "Mom, my dad is here to pick us up."

"Your father?" The woman was stunned, somewhat confused.

Qiao Jingjing smiled and said, "My father is your husband."

The woman became even more confused, "I don't have a husband..."

"Then how did Xuan'er and I come about? A mother alone can't give birth to a child." Qiao Jingjing explained softly.

The woman frowned, obviously unable to understand this matter.

Qiao Jingjing knew that she couldn't figure it out for a while, so she didn't say anything more, but said: "Today, Dad will take Mom back to the capital, and Aunt Xiao Cui and the others will go with us. We will live together from now on."

Hearing that Xiao Cui would also go with them, the woman said nothing more, but hesitated and said, "Then...is your father fierce? I don't want to live with a fierce person."

"He's not fierce, Dad is a very nice person. He will treat you very well, so don't worry, Mom." Qiao Jingjing comforted.

The woman was relieved.

Just as they finished talking, Xiao Cui knocked on the door, her voice clearly a little nervous, "Miss Jingjing, Duke Qin is here."

"Got it. We'll go out right away." Qiao Jingjing replied, then helped the woman wash up.

After the mother and daughter washed up, they went out.

When she saw that there were strangers in the yard, the woman immediately hid behind Qiao Jingjing.

"Don't be afraid, Mom. It's Dad." Qiao Jingjing held her hand and comforted her.

The woman then cautiously stuck her head out, but happened to meet the eyes of Qin Moyuan who was walking over, and she shrank back in fright.

Qin Moyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at Qiao Jingjing, "Jingjing, she..."

Qiao Jingjing nodded, "Dad, she is my mother."
