After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 5 Threat
Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing felt ashamed.

But it is true that the original owner acted unkindly, and it is not to blame that the elders of the Lu family want to beat her up.

Unable to help herself, she glanced at Lu Xingzhi.

But she saw that he was also looking towards her, with a vague look in his cold, dark eyes.

Her heart sank.

Since Lu Xingzhi saw the quarrel between her and Shen Tingzhi, why did he decide on the wedding date just now instead of breaking off the engagement?
She suppressed the doubts in her heart, lowered her eyelashes, and said softly: "My uncles taught me that in the past, Jingjing was ignorant, but in the future she will be cautious in her words and deeds, and keep her duty."

Seeing this, Qiao's father also said: "Jingjing will correct herself."

Seeing Qiao Jingjing's good attitude, the expressions of the Lu family uncles softened a bit.

Lu Xingzhi finally said: "I am coming back on a tight schedule this time, so the wedding will be a hasty one. Don't mind."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment and shook her head, "It's okay, I understand."

Lu Xingzhi said "hmm", took his uncles, and left.

After being separated from his uncles, he remembered what happened at Qiao's house. He pondered for a long time and called his personal guard Lin Jiu. He ordered: "Go and keep an eye on Mr. Shen. If you have any news, come back and report it in time. In addition, , and sent people to secretly guard Qiao’s house.”

After hearing this, Lin Jiu said puzzledly: "Your Excellency, you know that the relationship between Miss Qiao and Mr. Shen is not simple, why don't you just cancel the marriage?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him and said calmly: "It doesn't matter who you marry, there is no difference."

When Lin Jiu heard this, he understood what he meant.

He has been with the Lord for a long time and knows him quite well.

Your Excellency is an ambitious man, and has never cared about anything between men and women. He thinks it is a waste of time, so when he was the top scholar in high school, many high-ranking nobles wanted to choose him as their son-in-law, but he rejected them all.

Now you have suddenly become a celebrity around the Holy Lord, and your social status has risen sharply. There are countless people who want to get married to you.

Even the eldest princess...

Thinking of this, his heart trembled.

The master knew that Qiao Jingjing had a problem, but still chose to fulfill the engagement. Is it to avoid the entanglement of the eldest princess?

Just as he was about to say something else, he heard the adult's voice deepen slightly, "Go quickly!"

"Yes." Lin Jiu didn't dare to delay, agreed, and left.

……

Joe's house.

After seeing off the Lu family, Qiao Jingjing helped Qiao's father clean up the house.

Father Qiao looked at his daughter, thinking of what had just happened, he finally couldn't hold it back, and earnestly advised: "Then Shen Tingzhi is not a good person at first glance. You should stay away from him in the future and don't have anything to do with him again."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing stopped what she was doing and nodded, "Dad, I know that I will never associate with him again, so don't worry."

Father Qiao was relieved.

"Dad, you have been tired for a long time. Go back to the house and rest for a while. I will clean up here." Qiao Jingjing held his hand and advised.

Father Qiao was indeed a little tired. Hearing this, he nodded, "Then I'll go and take a rest."

"Ah."

After Qiao's father left, Qiao Jingjing thought about it. Instead of waiting for Shen Tingzhi to come to the door again, she might as well take the initiative and strike first.

However, Shen Ting's people were so large that she might suffer a loss if she went alone. She had to find someone to accompany her.

When she was worried about who to ask to go with her, she suddenly heard a voice outside shouting, "Jingjing, Jingjing, are you there?"

Qiao Jingjing walked out quickly.

I saw a strong man standing outside the door, with a bow and arrows on his back, and some hunted animals in his hands.

"What are you still doing? Take this pheasant in quickly and give you a snack for the evening." Seeing that she remained silent, the man stretched out his hand and handed over a prey.

Looking at the bloody pheasant, Qiao Jingjing endured the discomfort and asked, "Did you kill these?"

The man said funnyly: "I didn't hit him, who did? Qiao Jingjing, don't act like it was the first day you met me. How many of my prey have you eaten since you were a child? Suddenly you are like this Shengfen, is it because you are going to be an official’s wife that you look down on me?”

After talking about it, the man became a little angry, picked up the pheasant, and was about to leave.

Qiao Jingjing vaguely knew his identity and hurriedly chased him a few steps, "Brother, don't be angry, since when did I look down on you?

When I get married, don’t you have to carry me to the sedan chair? "

Sure enough, when he heard this, the man stopped, turned around, and said with a smile: "If you have a conscience, take it in quickly!"

Qiao Jingjing then took the pheasant and said, "Brother, are you free soon?"

"how?"

"I have to go to town for something. If you are free, please accompany me."

"Okay, I'll go back and change my clothes." The man agreed readily.

Looking at the man's back as he walked away, Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief.

This man is the original owner's cousin, Qiao Zhou.

He treated Qiao's father and the original owner well. He would often give some to them after hunting prey.

With the brute strength of Qiao Zhou accompanying her, Qiao Jingjing felt more confident.

As soon as Qiao Zhou arrived, the two went to the town together.

Rich young men like Shen Tingzhi travel in a grand manner, so they are easy to find.

Qiao Jingjing made some inquiries and got the whereabouts of Shen Tingzhi.

The two went directly to the largest inn in the town.

In the inn, Shen Tingzhi was full of anxiety and couldn't figure out why Qiao Jingjing knew the secret.

But no matter what, now that Qiao Jingjing knows the secret, she can no longer stay.

It's just a pity for that pretty and charming little face.

You could succeed just before you saw it, but something like this happened.

This can only be blamed on Qiao Jingjing knowing too much.

Shen Tingzhi thought with regret, and just as he was about to gather people, when night fell, he had someone sneak into Qiao's house and kill Qiao Jingjing and Qiao's father.

But at this moment, the attendant suddenly came to report, "Sir, Qiao Jingjing is here."

Shen Tingzhi was stunned, thinking he heard wrongly, "Who is coming?"

"It's Qiao Jingjing." The attendant repeated again.

Only then did Shen Tingzhi confirm that he heard correctly.

He looked surprised.

He really didn't expect that Qiao Jingjing would dare to come to his door.

He touched his chin, evil flashing in his eyes.

Neither the left nor the right can be kept, and now he has come to his door on his own initiative. If he can have a taste of it before he dies...

Thinking of this, he became energetic and ordered: "Please invite Miss Qiao to come in quickly."

The entourage went quickly.

Not long after, Qiao Jingjing and Qiao Zhou came in.

"Beauty..." Shen Tingzhi's voice stopped suddenly, and the smile on his face froze. He looked at Qiao Zhou with dissatisfaction, "Why are you still bringing an outsider with you?"

Qiao Jingjing glanced at the entourage in the room and said calmly: "You don't have to worry about who I bring with me. I came to you because I have something to talk to you about."

Shen Tingzhi narrowed his eyes, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
