After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 72 Revenge
People always say that you should not put your eggs in one basket and spread the risks.

For the same reason, she shouldn't place her hopes on the same person.

After all, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

Who knows if Lu Xingzhi will always protect her?
If he is no longer willing to protect her, then she will be nothing in this family, and it is possible that she may even be abandoned and relegated to the palace.

People say that it depends on everyone to run if the mountain falls.

Even though Lu Xingzhi has a good character, his life is not short. Who can be sure that changes will not happen in the future?
Although she already has a lot of money in her hands, she will become very passive if she just sits on nothing.

She still had to find another way out for herself.

she mused.

That night, Lu Xingzhi did not come to Meixiangyuan again.

Qiao Jingjing didn't think it was anything, but there was obvious disappointment on the faces of the two maids.

The next day.

Qiao Jingjing was having breakfast. At this time, Butler Wang came with a post and hurriedly said, "Madam, the Duke of Qin has sent an invitation, inviting you to come over and enjoy the flowers."

Qiao Jingjing frowned slightly, "Qin Duke's Mansion?"

"Exactly, the visitor said that Mrs. Qin Guogong wanted to thank you in person for interceding for Miss Qin yesterday." Butler Wang said.

Qiao Jingjing understood as soon as she heard it.

But does the Duke of Qin really want to be grateful to her, or has she prepared the Hongmen Banquet to embarrass her?

You can't blame her for thinking so. After all, Mrs. Li's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet was still fresh in her mind.

"When will we have the banquet?" Qiao Jingjing asked.

"The time is set for the day after tomorrow." Butler Wang looked at the post and said.

When Qiao Jingjing heard this, her heart moved, "What day is the day after tomorrow?"

Butler Wang was stunned, "It's a normal day."

"That's not right." Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "Mrs. Qin posted the message so formally and set the time for the day after tomorrow. It is definitely not an ordinary day."

If he really wanted to thank her, he could have invited her over today, but Mrs. Qin found an excuse to enjoy the flowers instead.

She pondered for a moment and then ordered: "Butler Wang, please send someone to check first."

Butler Wang nodded, "Old slave, I'll go now."

Qiao Jingjing finished her breakfast slowly and went to the garden to feed the fish for a while, when Butler Wang brought back the news.

"Madam, your guess is right. It is indeed not an ordinary day. The day after tomorrow is the birthday of Duke Qin. In addition to inviting Madam, Duke Qin's mansion also invited other guests." Steward Wang wiped his sweat and said.

Qiao Jingjing had such an expression on her face.

Butler Wang became a little scared when he thought about it.

If Madam hadn't been alert and asked him to check it out, otherwise it would be rude for Madam to come to the house rashly the next day if it were just an ordinary day.

"This matter was caused by an oversight," Butler Wang said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, you have many things to do, and there will always be times when you have nothing to worry about. I need Butler Wang to help me prepare a gift." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Yes, I will prepare now." Butler Wang said respectfully, feeling a little more respectful towards Qiao Jingjing.

I didn't expect that my wife came from the countryside, but she was so thoughtful.

Back at Mei Xiangyuan, Qing Yuan couldn't help but said: "What does Qin Guogong's wife mean? Why not just say that the day after tomorrow is Qin Guogong's birthday?"

Mallow also looked puzzled, "If Mrs. Qin really wants to thank Madam, there is no need to choose that day."

"It's very simple. Her purpose is to embarrass me and bring shame to Shangshu Mansion." Qiao Jingjing said.

If she really believed that the Duke of Qin wanted to thank her and invited her to enjoy the flowers, he would not have prepared a birthday gift without knowing the reason.

When the time comes, she will just walk up to the door and make people laugh.

It didn't matter that she was laughed at, but as Lu Xingzhi was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a popular figure in front of the emperor, he was afraid that he would be criticized for not knowing etiquette.

The two maids looked shocked, "Why did she do this?" "Because in addition to me actually begging for Qin Yue'er, your family also offended Qin Yue'er. This Mrs. Qin, I'm afraid she wants to Take revenge on your family." Qiao Jingjing said.

"Madam is so amazing, you have thought of all this." The maids expressed admiration.

Qiao Jingjing leaned back lazily on the chair. It wasn't because she was great, but because she had read the original book.

There is naturally a lot of emphasis on the heroine's family in the original book.

The original book said that Mrs. Qin Guogong doted on her daughter Qin Yue'er to a certain extent.

Moreover, the temperament of the Duke of Qin's wife was a bit weird and mean. Even the emperor dared to quarrel with her as long as her daughter was involved.

Therefore, Mrs. Qin suddenly invited her to come over and enjoy the flowers. She felt that the matter was not that simple.

But the strange thing is that as the heroine's brother, Qin Xuan, there is very little description of him in the original book.

All I can say is that this man has an extraordinary handsome appearance, but his talents are a little mediocre. He is just short of saying that he is a loser.

But judging from the two times she had contacted him, Qin Xuan was not as described in the original book.

Could it be that as she traveled through the book, the plot of the original book also changed?
After all, even when the male and female protagonists meet in the racecourse, the emperor, who was originally the male protagonist, was shocked by the female protagonist, but now he hates and dislikes her.

However, now that she knows that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of Duke Qin, she will naturally prepare people with full etiquette, but Mrs. Qin is afraid that she will not just give up.

If he didn't embarrass her in terms of etiquette, he would definitely think of other ways to make her look embarrassed.

Thinking of this, she shook her head and sighed.

She just wants to live a peaceful and smooth life, but there are always so many troublesome things.

Just when she was thinking this, she saw Butler Wang coming again.

This time, his face looked a little frightened, "Madam, the eldest princess has sent someone to pick you up..."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She almost forgot about this.

Yesterday, the eldest princess did say that she wanted her to accompany him to the eldest princess' mansion today.

Qingyuan and Jinkui looked surprised, "Why did the eldest princess send someone to pick up the madam?"

Butler Wang shook his head, "I don't know, but the person who came is the number one guard around the eldest princess, Lu Jing."

Qiao Jingjing looked hopeless.

What are these things?

She just wants to live leisurely.

"Wait for me to change my clothes." After a while, she said with a look of death.

The two maids were shocked by her appearance.

"Madam, is the eldest princess trying to cause trouble for you?" Qingyuan asked worriedly.

Mallow frowned and said, "It's better to wait for the Lord to come back and let the Lord accompany the Madam."

Butler Wang reminded from the side: "But Guard Lu said that the eldest princess's patience is limited, please don't waste time, madam."

"What should we do?" Qingyuan asked anxiously.

"It's okay, the eldest princess won't embarrass me." Qiao Jingjing said with relief.

That's what she said, but when she was changing clothes, she asked the maids to tie thick kneepads on her.

Those princesses and ladies punished people most often by punishing them by kneeling.

She protected her knees so that if the eldest princess asked her to kneel down, she wouldn't be in so much pain.

After getting dressed, she went out.

As expected, Lu Jing was waiting outside the house, looking impatient.

Seeing this guy, Qiao Jingjing thought for a while and whispered to Qingyuan: "If I haven't come back after the sun goes down, I will ask an adult to save me."
