After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 47: Added ingredients to the soup

"Much better." Mother Lu nodded guiltily, then looked at Qiao Jingjing, "Jingjing has been working hard these days."

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "It's not hard on me. I just hope my mother is fine."

Mother Lu coughed slightly and her eyes flickered, "You have been working very hard these days. I asked someone to stew a tonic soup for you. Aunt Rong, hurry up and bring it to A Xing and Jingjing."

"Yes." Aunt Rong hurriedly went.

Seeing Mother Lu's eyes twinkling, Qiao Jingjing thought she was pretending to be ill, so she didn't think much about it and said warmly: "Thank you, mother."

Mother Lu waved her hand, "Family, how can I say thank you?"

Not long after, Aunt Rong came back with tonic soup.

As soon as the lid was opened, a strong fragrance instantly filled the yard.

"What soup? Why is it so fragrant?" Lu Shuangshuang exclaimed softly, then reached for a spoon and stirred the soup in the cup.

Seeing this, Mother Lu hurriedly clapped her hand, "This is for your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

Lu Shuangshuang pursed her lips and said, "Mom is so partial. She won't stew some for me."

"Children, what kind of soup should we drink?" Mother Lu's eyes flashed and she deliberately said with a serious face.

"Why am I so young? Qiao Jingjing is only two years older than me. Why can she drink it but I can't? I think there's quite a bit of soup here. Why don't you give me a taste?" Lu Shuangshuang was reluctant.

Mother Lu ignored her and told Aunt Rong: "Go into the room."

Aunt Rong responded and hurriedly went in with the soup.

"You guys go in and sit down and drink." Mother Lu looked at Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing and said.

Qiao Jingjing was filled with wonder, why could she drink but Lu Shuangshuang couldn't?

And there was indeed a lot of soup, so it would be okay to give some to Lu Shuangshuang to drink, right?

She was suspicious and followed Lu Xingzhi in.

Aunt Rong had already put the soup into a bowl. When she saw the two people coming in, she immediately served it to them and said with a smile: "This soup is good. Drink it while it's hot. It will be effective."

Seeing Aunt Rong's smiling face, Qiao Jingjing suddenly felt an ominous premonition in her heart, and deliberately said in a joking tone: "Is there something added to this soup?"

Aunt Rong's eyebrows twitched, and she said calmly: "There are some added ingredients, but they are all warm and tonic medicinal materials, which are good for the body. You have been working so hard recently, so the old lady wanted to give you a good tonic."

Qiao Jingjing was about to say something more, but Lu Xingzhi handed one of the bowls to her, "There's no harm in drinking some."

Looking at the man's handsome features, Qiao Jingjing hesitated to speak.

Didn't he realize that there might be something strange added to the soup?
However, this soup smells really fragrant.

Seeing the man lowering his head and drinking, she didn't say anything more even though she felt it was inappropriate.

Mother Lu could not harm them, but...

It was still daytime, so Mother Lu shouldn't be that outrageous, so maybe she was overthinking and this was just an ordinary supplement.

These days, she was really tired from being busy receiving the women's family members.

Thinking of this, she picked up the bowl and drank the soup without hesitation.

"Ma'am, want another bowl?" Aunt Rong saw that she had finished the drink, her smile became more kind, and she asked aloud.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded and looked at the stew pot, "Give me some meat too."

"Okay." Aunt Rong filled her with a full bowl of soup and meat with a smile on her face.

Qiao Jingjing ate with gusto, and her previous doubts had long been forgotten.

Lu Xingzhi drank a bowl of soup and then stopped. When he saw how delicious she was eating, he said to Aunt Rong: "Since Madam likes to eat, let Madam eat more. I have something to deal with, so I'll go first." It's in the study." Aunt Rong heard this and said hurriedly: "You drank too little, can you have another bowl?"

"No more drinking." Lu Xingzhi shook his head, stood up, glanced at Qiao Jingjing, and then went out.

Qiao Jingjing ignored him. At this time, she only had food in her eyes.

When Lu Shuangshuang came in, she saw that there was not a drop of soup in the soup cup, and the table in front of Qiao Jingjing was full of leftover bones. Her beautiful eyes widened in an instant, "Qiao Jingjing, are you the reincarnation of a starving ghost?" "

Qiao Jingjing took a handkerchief, wiped her fingers, and said nonchalantly: "Maybe."

Lu Shuangshuang: "..."

Aunt Rong couldn't help laughing, looking at Qiao Jingjing's figure, she smiled meaningfully, "Madam is a blessed person."

Qiao Jingjing didn't hear the deep meaning in her words, and said nervously: "It made Aunt Rong laugh. I'm really hungry today, and this soup was really delicious, so I couldn't help but finish it all."

"Madam, you don't have to blame yourself. This soup was originally prepared for you and the eldest young master, but the eldest young master doesn't seem to like this soup very much. It's fine if madam likes it, otherwise it will be wasted." Aunt Rong said kindly.

Hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang took her hand and said, "Aunt Rong, please stew some for me too, I want to drink it too."

Aunt Rong said helplessly: "After Miss gets married, if you like to drink it, Aunt Rong can stew it for you every day."

Lu Shuangshuang frowned, "Why do you have to be married to drink?"

Aunt Rong smiled, did not answer, turned around and put away the dishes.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned.

If she was not sure before, but now, she is absolutely sure that the soup just now was really filled with ingredients, and it was still that...

As soon as she thought about it, she felt that her body was getting a little hot, her face was hot, and her lower abdomen felt strange.

She clenched her fingers, feeling annoyed in every possible way. Sure enough, people still shouldn't be too greedy.

The consequence of gluttony is that you are likely to put yourself in the mouths of others...

"If Madam feels uncomfortable, please go back and rest." At this time, Aunt Rong had noticed her strangeness and said thoughtfully.

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing responded aggrievedly and stood up while holding on to the table.

Lu Shuangshuang gloated: "Are you full? Let you eat alone!"

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

"Qingyuan, help Madam go..." Aunt Rong ordered, and the voice behind her became lower.

Qiao Jingjing felt uncomfortable and didn't listen carefully. She just thought it was Mei Xiangyuan, so she obediently let Qing Yuan help her away.

When she realized something was wrong, she was already outside Lu Xingzhi's study.

"My lord, Madam is not feeling well. Aunt Rong asked the servant to help Madam come to find Sir." Qingyuan said respectfully.

Lu Xingzhi was reading the files behind the case. Hearing this, he raised his head.

When he saw Qiao Jingjing leaning against the maid outside the door, her pretty face flushed, he was stunned for a moment and frowned slightly, "What's wrong, madam?"

"I don't know, either." Qingyuan shook her head, "Aunt Rong asked the servant to help the lady over, saying that you have a way."

Lu Xingzhi felt a little confused when he heard this. He was not a doctor, so what could he do?
"Go find..."

Before the doctor could say the word "doctor", he saw a woman walking in front of his desk. She was lying on his desk like she was boneless.

"What are you looking for?" Qiao Jingjing's voice was soft, and she looked at her wetly with a pair of peach blossom eyes. She squeezed her fingers tightly and resisted the urge to pull at the hem of her clothes.
