After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 51: My husband can also trust me

He stood for a while, then raised the curtain cage and walked in.

As expected, his mother was sitting in front of the case, twirling Buddhist beads in her hand and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

The entire Buddhist hall was unusually quiet except for the sound of his mother chanting sutras.

He paused and didn't say anything, but sat down aside.

After a long time, Mrs. Qin Guogong finished reciting the sutra, then she raised her head and glanced at him, "Are you very free today?"

Qin Xuan's lips twitched slightly, "My son has always been very idle."

Mrs. Qin Guogong paused and said no more.

Looking at his mother's plain but beautiful face, Qin Xuan lowered his eyes, stood up and said calmly: "Mother hasn't been out for a long time. There have been many interesting things in Beijing recently. Mother should go out for a walk to relax."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin Guogong's eyes fell on her son's slender and tall figure. She was silent for a moment and then said: "Your father's birthday will be in a few days. Then the house will be well organized and lively."

Qin Xuan glanced at her in confusion, very surprised.

But he didn't say anything, just said "hmm" and left.

When they arrived outside the door, they heard a faint sigh.

He paused slightly and did not look back.

……

Lu Mansion.

Qiao Jingjing and Lu Shuangshuang just got out of the carriage and bumped into Lu Xingzhi who was coming back from outside.

"Brother!" When Lu Shuangshuang saw him, he instantly became very well-behaved.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Lu Xingzhi nodded, his eyes fell on her, and he asked warmly: "Going out?"

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing responded.

Seeing that her eldest brother only had eyes for her, Lu Shuangshuang felt unhappy, so she deliberately said mischievously: "Brother, we went to the riverside just now and met Prince Qin. However, Prince Qin treated everyone very coldly, but he treated his sister-in-law very coldly. It’s so different, I don’t know why?”

Qiao Jingjing looked at her with a dark look on her face, "What nonsense are you talking about? How is Prince Qin treating me different?"

The corners of Lu Shuang's lips curled up, and she ignored her. She said to Lu Xing, "Brother, I'll go in first." After that, she went straight into the house.

Qiao Jingjing resisted the urge to beat her up and looked at Lu Xing: "Don't listen to her nonsense."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her with his cold black eyes, and said "hmm" in a low voice without saying anything.

Qiao Jingjing breathed a sigh of relief, "Then let's go in too."

As soon as the couple entered the house, they heard Lu Shuangshuang's surprised voice from a distance, "Sister Hao!"

Upon hearing this title, Qiao Jingjing raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Xingzhi.

"I heard Shuangshuang mention this girl before. Who is she?"

Lu Xingzhi looked as usual. When he saw her looking at her, he explained, "She is the daughter of a gentleman who taught me in the past."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing suddenly realized, "It turns out to be junior sister."

Lu Xingzhi frowned and explained subconsciously: "I don't have much contact with her, but we both have a good conversation with her."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing glanced at him in surprise, not expecting that he would explain to her.

She paused and deliberately showed a relieved expression, "My husband has no contact with her, so I'll be relieved."

Lu Xingzhi paused, then turned his dark eyes to her. Seeing the relaxed look on her little face, he pursed his thin lips and said, "Yeah."

Qiao Jingjing was a little surprised when she heard this.

She didn't expect to get a response from him.

She blinked, tentatively, and stretched out her hand to hold his arm, "Husband, you can... don't worry about me." She suddenly came closer, her soft arms still wrapped around her own hand, and Lu Xingzhi's body suddenly stiffened. Then he pulled her hand away somewhat uncomfortably and said lightly: "I know."

"Brother, who do you think is here?" At this time, Lu Shuangshuang ran out of the front hall and shouted with excitement and joy.

As soon as the couple raised their heads, they saw a pretty girl coming out from behind Lu Shuangshuang.

The girl was wearing a simple dress, but her face was exceptionally beautiful and refined.

"Brother Lu." The girl smiled and spoke.

Lu Xingzhi nodded lightly and said nothing else.

"Is this Sister-in-law Lu?" The girl turned her eyes to Qiao Jingjing, still smiling, but Qiao Jingjing felt keenly that there was no smile in her eyes.

"I am." Qiao Jingjing nodded and looked at Lu Shuangshuang, "She is the friend you once said? Since she is here, treat her well. Your brother also wants to teach me how to read. We have to go to the study first. ." After saying that, she held Lu Xingzhi's arm again.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, but this time, he didn't push her away.

Seeing the intimate behavior of the two, the smile on the girl's face faded a lot, and she said sincerely: "Brother Lu and Sister-in-law Lu really seem to be a match."

The smile on Qiao Jingjing's face deepened a little, "I made you laugh. Shuangshuang, entertain other girls well and don't neglect them."

"I need you..." Lu Shuangshuang said halfway when he suddenly changed his words and said, "I know."

Qiao Jingjing smiled, took Lu Xingzhi's arm and left.

Seeing the two walking away together, the girl looked lonely.

Lu Shuangshuang saw it and didn't know what to do.

She originally liked Sister Hao Hao to be her sister-in-law. She thought more than once that she would ask her eldest brother to divorce Qiao Jingjing and marry Sister Hao Hao. But now that Sister Hao Hao has arrived, she has lost her thoughts at that time.

Because, she discovered that Qiao Jingjing was not without merit, and she didn't hate her that much.

"Sister Hao, let's go in and have tea." After a while, she said.

Hao Hao nodded and followed her in.

Besides, Qiao Jingjing and Lu Xingzhi walked for a while and made sure that Lu Shuangshuang and Hao Hao couldn't see them anymore before letting go of their hands.

"Husband, please go and do your work first. I'm going back to Meixiangyuan."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and suddenly said, "I'm free today and can teach you how to read."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She just said it casually, and she didn't really want to be literate.

"My husband is busy with work, so there is no need to squeeze in time for me. I will wait until you are free some other time..."

"I'm free now." Lu Xingzhi interrupted her unhurriedly.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

"Let's go." Lu Xingzhi said without any doubt, and then walked towards the study.

Qiao Jingjing was extremely regretful. If she had known better, she would not have to use this excuse. Now, she is taking it seriously.

She stood there for a while before going to the study.

When she entered, Lu Xingzhi had already laid a piece of paper on the desk and held a pen dipped in ink in his hand.

Qiao Jingjing saw this and walked over bravely.

Lu Xingzhi held his sleeves and wrote down a word on the paper, "This is Qiao, your surname."

Qiao Jingjing looked at what he had written and said with admiration, "My husband's handwriting is really beautiful."

Lu Xingzhi paused and handed the pen in his hand to her, "Ma'am, write it down first."

Qiao Jingjing took the pen and looked it over. Why did this pen look familiar?
