After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 378 Lu Xingzhi also had such an embarrassing day

Thinking of the suffering her mother had endured, Qiao Jingjing made up her mind to send Old Madam Yu to jail.

That's what the old woman deserved.

Seeing that it was getting late, Qiao Jingjing was about to get off Lu Xingzhi's lap, but he hugged her waist tightly and asked, "Are you going to stay here tonight?"

"No, my mother is still in my room. She will be worried if she can't find me when she wakes up." Qiao Jingjing shook her head without hesitation.

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhi suddenly sighed.

Qiao Jingjing looked at him in confusion, "Why are you sighing?"

Lu Xingzhi looked at her deeply and said, "Since the end of last year, you have been getting busier and busier."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned. Why did she see a hint of resentment in this man's eyes?
Coming to her senses, she coughed lightly and asked, trying not to laugh, "Are you accusing me of ignoring you?"

Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and played with her green jade fingers, "I dare not blame you."

Qiao Jingjing said with a smile: "So, I really ignored you?"

Lu Xingzhi raised his eyes and glanced at her, then slowly tightened his arms around her waist, "Do you think so?"

Seeing him throw the question back, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but reflect that too many things had happened during this period of time, and she seemed to have indeed neglected a lot about Lu Xingzhi.

Thinking of this, she raised her head and pecked his jade-like chin lightly, "Then please bear with me, my husband."

"I don't want to take responsibility." Lu Xingzhi lowered his head and rested his forehead on hers.

Qiao Jingjing blinked and was about to say something when the man suddenly kissed her lips.

When the temperature in the house rose sharply, Qiao Jingjing regained a trace of rationality, and hurriedly pushed the man away, panting, "I have to go back to Meixiangyuan. Mom will wake up soon, and I will be anxious."

Lu Xingzhi stopped what he was doing and silently gathered her messed up dress back, "I'll take you there."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing did not refuse.

When they were leaving, seeing Lu Xingzhi's serious face, Qiao Jingjing couldn't help but hold his arm and shook it, "Are you unhappy?"

"No." Lu Xingzhi put his arm around her shoulders and slowly led her towards Meixiangyuan.

"But you look very serious." Qiao Jingjing said.

Lu Xingzhi looked at her helplessly but did not speak. Instead, he held her hand and put it into his robe.

Qiao Jingjing smiled and was about to say that she was not cold, but the next moment, her fingers froze. She turned her head and looked at him in surprise.

When she realized what was happening, she immediately broke free from his hand, but her little face had already turned red.

Lu Xingzhi pursed his lips, his ears felt a little hot, and he put his hands behind his back.

There was a hint of awkwardness between the two of them.

When they arrived at the gate of Meixiangyuan, Qiao Jingjing said, "I'll go in first," and hurried into the yard without looking back.

After entering the house, Qiao Jingjing suddenly laughed out loud.

Lu Xingzhi, who has a cold and aloof personality, actually has such an embarrassing day.

Yu Feier got up at night and heard the laughter. She rubbed her eyes and came out, looking at her daughter curiously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Seeing that she had woken up her mother, Qiao Jingjing quickly shook her head, "It's late, let's go to bed, we still have to go to the Princess's Mansion tomorrow."

Sure enough, when she heard that they were going to the Princess's Mansion, Yu Feier's attention was diverted. She returned to bed and slept obediently.

Qiao Jingjing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next day.

Qiao Jingjing took Yu Feier to the Princess's Mansion.

As soon as they met, Yu Feier couldn't wait to take out the hairpin she had prepared in advance and gave it to the eldest princess.

"This is a gift for my daughter-in-law." Yu Feier added happily.

The eldest princess, who was about to reach out to take it, paused when she heard this and looked at the other party in surprise.

"Don't you like it?" Yu Fei'er's smile faded, and she became a little nervous. "No, I like it very much." The eldest princess said quickly, but her cheeks were hot, "Thank you."

Afterwards, the eldest princess took the mother and daughter around the mansion.

At noon, the eldest princess had people prepare many delicious dishes to entertain the mother and daughter.

The three of them sat down and were about to eat when Qin Xuan arrived.

"Brother, you came just in time. You came just when we were about to eat. Did you calculate the time correctly?" Qiao Jingjing teased.

Facing his sister's teasing, Qin Xuan did not feel uncomfortable, "I just came at the right time."

The princess had someone bring a set of bowls and chopsticks, and said gently, "Please sit down."

Qin Xuan nodded and sat down next to her.

Seeing him do this, the princess curled her lips, took the wine pot beside her, poured him a glass of wine, and then reminded him: "You can only drink a small glass."

Qin Xuan didn't want to drink, but she had already poured it for him, so he nodded, "Yeah."

Qiao Jingjing looked at the two of them happily.

The eldest princess looks like a virtuous wife.

Who would have thought that the eldest princess was very opposed to this marriage at first.

"What are you laughing at?" The princess looked up and saw her smiling ambiguously. She frowned and vaguely understood something. She quickly picked up a piece of meat and put it in her bowl, "Eat your food."

"Okay, okay, I'll eat my food and you talk about your feelings. Don't be polite. Just treat me and mom as air." Qiao Jingjing picked up the meat and took a bite happily.

The eldest princess: "..."

She gritted her teeth secretly.

A smile flashed across Qin Xuan's eyes.

"I want meat too." Yu Feier picked up the bowl and handed it to the eldest princess.

The eldest princess's expression immediately softened and she picked up several pieces of meat for her.

Only then did Yu Feier start eating contentedly.

Several people were eating happily when Lu Jing suddenly came to report, "Your Highness, Prince Ning is here again."

The princess frowned and was about to say no when Prince Ning's voice rang out from outside, "I came here several times but my sister was not at home. But today she happened to be here. I thought I would come back empty-handed again."

When the princess heard the voice, she had no choice but to say to Lu Jing, "Please ask Prince Ning to go to the side hall for tea first."

"Yes." Lu Jing responded and went out.

After a while, footsteps were heard outside. It seemed that Prince Ning had already left with Lu Jing.

Looking at the princess with a worried look on her face, Qiao Jingjing felt a little worried.

From what Prince Ning said just now, we can tell that he has been to the Princess's Mansion several times.

There must be some purpose behind his persistent search.

The eldest princess controls a part of the military force.

Could it be that Prince Ning wanted to take the military command from the eldest princess?

At this time, the princess put down her chopsticks, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and then said to the others, "Eat slowly, I'll be back soon."

Qiao Jingjing thought for a moment and warned, "Your Highness, be careful of Prince Ning."

The eldest princess paused and nodded, "I know."

After she left, the mother and her two children continued to eat.

After eating, the three of them did not leave in a hurry, but sat in the hall, waiting for the eldest princess to come back.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess did not come back for a long time.
