After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 4 Set the wedding date
Shen Tingzhi's eyes narrowed, but when he glanced at her enchanting little face, his heart itched, and his expression softened a little. He tapped the folding fan on his palms and glanced at Lu Xingzhi provocatively, with an ambiguous tone. "I'm already here, why don't you introduce me to the elders of the clan? You forgot, we are..."

Qiao Jingjing's heart skipped a beat and she quickly interrupted him, "If I have done anything that caused you misunderstanding before, then I apologize to you. An introduction is not necessary. After all, we are not familiar with each other. Mr. Shen, please come back."

Hearing this, Shen Tingzhi's expression froze. He glanced at Lu Xingzhi and the uncles of the Lu family, and vaguely understood the purpose of their visit to Qiao's house today.

His expression suddenly darkened, "Qiao Jingjing, are you kidding me?"

As he spoke, he waved his hand.

Immediately, the entourage following him pulled out his sword fiercely.

The sound of "choking" shocked everyone present.

Where has Qiao Jingjing seen such a battle? I was also shocked.

The calmness he had just pretended fell apart at this moment.

She blushed and clenched the broom in her hand.

"Qiao Jingjing, the grass on the grave of the person who played tricks on me last time grew three feet high!" Shen Tingzhi said in a arrogant tone, with a gloomy look in his eyes, "If you don't eat the toast, you will eat the fine wine. I am in a good mood and am willing to play with you. You are really Do you think you are the same thing? Come on, take her back to me!"

Following his order, the followers held swords and charged toward Qiao Jingjing menacingly.

Qiao Jingjing's heart sank, she clutched her sweaty hands, and was about to warn Shen Tingzhi, but at this critical moment, a tall and straight figure suddenly walked over and blocked her.

"Master Shen, in broad daylight, wanted to let the slaves commit murder?"

The man's voice was not loud, but he had a sense of intimidation, which immediately frightened the followers who were approaching Qiao Jingjing.

Shen Tingzhi was also stunned for a moment.

He could obviously tell that this man had an extraordinary bearing, and was different from those country men.

Especially now, the way he glanced at him seemed to have a kind of coercion that only a superior person could have.

But isn't it said that Qiao Jingjing's fiancé is just a low-ranking official?

Even Qiao Jingjing was willing to cancel the marriage and choose to be with him.

But right now, this person doesn't look simple.

Shen Tingzhi thought thoughtfully, put away his casual and arrogant attitude, and said with a laugh: "How could that be? I was just joking."

"Oh, are swords facing each other a joke? If I remember correctly, according to the laws of this dynasty, civilians are not allowed to carry swords at will. Violators can be treated as rebellion and treason!" Lu Xingzhi said nonchalantly.

His voice was still not loud, but his words had the power of thunder.

Shen Tingzhi's expression changed drastically, and his followers' legs and feet went limp, and the swords in their hands could hardly be held and fell to the ground.

Others were also frightened by what Lu Xingzhi said.

For a moment, there was silence in the courtyard.

Qiao Jingjing looked at the tall figure in front of her with complicated eyes.

She did not expect that when danger came, Lu Xingzhi would stand in front of her, and with just a few words, he could frighten Shen Tingzhi and his entourage.

But for such a powerful and outstanding man, the original owner was blind and wanted someone like Shen Tingzhi instead...

Shen Tingzhi finally recovered and immediately winked at his followers.

The followers quickly put away their swords and exited the Qiao Family Courtyard.

Shen Tingzhiqiang smiled and said: "Master Lu, you are serious. I was really just joking. Those are not swords, just hatchets for chopping wood.

On the other hand, Mr. Lu’s fiancée is with me..."

"Shen Tingzhi!"

Qiao Jingjing suddenly interrupted him loudly.

And at the moment he saw it, she silently said three words to him.

Shen Tingzhi's body froze for a moment as if someone had strangled his lifeblood, and then he stared at her intently.

That look was like a cold and poisonous snake, which was terrifying. Seeing his reaction, Qiao Jingjing knew that he had understood her mouth shape.

What she said really frightened him.

She tightened her palms and said calmly: "Master Shen, please go slowly. I won't see you off."

After coming back to his senses, Shen Tingzhi smiled coldly, raised his hand and pointed at her, "Qiao Jingjing, you have the guts!" But after all, he was concerned about Lu Xingzhi beside her, flicked his sleeves, turned and left.

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this, but at the same time, she was keenly aware of a scrutinizing gaze falling on her.

As soon as she raised her head, she met Lu Xingzhi's deeply searching eyes.

Her heart sank.

What did Lu Xingzhi see?
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "Just now... thank you."

Lu Xingzhi looked away and said calmly: "I didn't do anything."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him, and her heart became more complicated. This man had done her a great favor and resolved a conflict with just a few words.

At this moment, everyone came back to their senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

They were all farmers and had been dealing with soil all their lives. How had they ever encountered what just happened?
Fortunately, there is knowledge of action.

With this thought in mind, everyone looked at Qiao Jingjing with a hint of condemnation.

They were not stupid, they could see that Mr. Shen just came here for her.

Qiao Jingjing felt guilty and guilty.

However, after what happened just now, her marriage to Lu Xingzhi may have changed.

Thinking of this, she stopped struggling.

It is true that the original owner did something unkind, and it was right for them to break off the engagement.

Father Qiao thought so too. He threw away the hoe he had just grabbed in his hand in desperation, sighed in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and said to everyone: "Let's sit in the house first."

"Okay." Lu Xingzhi nodded lightly and led the elders into the main room.

Unexpectedly, Lu Xingzhi had no intention of breaking off the engagement.

Soon, the two families agreed on a date.

During this period, Qiao Jingjing's heart never settled down.

One is for Shen Tingzhi.

Although what she just mouthed to him shocked him, he would never give up.

The second is Lu Xingzhi.

With his shrewdness, she always felt that he had figured out something.

Although the uncles of the Lu family didn't say anything about what Shen Tingzhi caused just now, Qiao Jingjing couldn't pretend to be confused.

So when she and Father Qiao sent everyone out, she bowed to the Lu family's uncles and apologized sincerely.

"I didn't handle what happened just now, which caused all the uncles to be frightened. I hope all uncles will forgive Jingjing."

Several uncles from the Lu family were really frightened just now, and they were also dissatisfied with Qiao Jingjing.

They were not blind, and they could see that her relationship with Shen Tingzhi was not simple.

But Lu Xingzhi still insisted on marrying her.

Seeing her apologizing at this time, no one was willing to speak, and the situation was a bit awkward.

Until one of the virtuous elders spoke up, "Jingjing, we couldn't care about what happened to you in the past, but you are about to become our Lu family's wife. I hope you will be careful in your words and deeds in the future and be loyal to your husband's family. Don’t do anything that disgraces the family.”
