After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 79 Was it the drug that gave him the illusion?

Qiao Jingjing didn't look at her, but said to the maid next to her: "This set of chess pieces may not please Mrs. Qin after all. Let's put them away for now. We will send you local specialties another day. After all, Qin Guogong is not short of anything, and he also eats delicacies from mountains and seas." I’m tired of it, and I’m even more curious about local products.”

Mrs. Qin's face froze, and she was very angry, but she couldn't find fault with the other party.

After all, the person who was talking about souvenirs was herself.

For a moment, Mrs. Qin's face became very ugly.

Mallow pursed her lips lightly, suppressing her smile, and responded respectfully, then carried the box and retreated behind her.

Xia Houxi on the side also raised his head and looked at the sky.

Because he was afraid that he would not be able to hold back and laugh out loud.

His sister-in-law is really a loser.

After being disliked, he used the words Mrs. Qin said to block him and simply took back the congratulatory gift.

As expected, she was the woman that Lu Xingzhi fell in love with. She was not a soft persimmon to be bullied.

Lu Xingzhi also asked him to take care of her more at the banquet. Now it seems that Madam-in-law doesn't need anyone's help at all.

Faced with Mrs. Qin's difficulties, she was able to tolerate it without saying anything, and she could also turn around and embarrass the other party.

After a long while, Mrs. Qin adjusted her mood and said calmly: "Come here, please quickly invite Mrs. Lu to take a seat."

"Mrs. Lu, please come this way." A servant immediately came forward and said.

"Thank you." Qiao Jingjing nodded, said something to Xia Houxi, and then followed the servant to sit down.

What she didn't notice was that behind her, Mrs. Qin looked at her with a particularly gloomy look.

The guests returned to talking and laughing, as if the episode just now had never happened.

Sitting next to Qiao Jingjing is Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Cui.

The two of them had just exchanged a few words when the Duke of Qin came into the garden with his son and daughter.

Upon seeing this, there was an immediate commotion in the garden, and all the guests quickly stood up and saluted Duke Qin.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at Duke Qin curiously.

I saw that Qin Guogong was tall and handsome, with a majestic and calm temperament. Although he was nearly forty, he looked quite young.

Qin Yue'er, who was walking with him, looked much more well-behaved and not at all as arrogant as he was on the racecourse that day.

However, Qin Yue'er didn't look like Mrs. Qin, nor did she look like Duke Qin.

Qin Xuan, on the other hand, looks like a younger version of Qin Guogong.

As if sensing something, Qin Xuan suddenly turned his head to look at her.

Qiao Jingjing was stunned and nodded to him gently.

When Qin Xuan saw her, surprise flashed in his handsome eyes, but he quickly reacted, curled his lips, and nodded to her.

And this scene happened to be seen by Qin Yue'er.

While she felt incredible, a jealous rage burst into her heart.

Qin Xuan was her biological brother from the same mother, but he never spoke politely to her. Not to mention smiling, even his usual words were extremely perfunctory.

But today, he not only nodded at Mr. Qiao's despicable child, but also smiled.

Qin Yue'er's eyes narrowed slightly.

Is it possible that Qin Xuan is interested in that bitch Qiao?
Realizing this, a vicious plan flashed through her mind.

She glanced at the two of them meaningfully, and the annoyance in her heart finally disappeared.

Hum, the days are long!

If they dare to go against Qin Yue'er, she will make them regret it!

After the arrival of the Duke of Qin, the garden became much quieter. The officials and their wives who had been talking loudly were all sitting upright and did not dare to speak at will.

Qin Guogong sat in his seat, his eyes swept across the audience, and he suddenly felt bored.

He hated this kind of party the most.

Although this was his birthday party, if Yu hadn't made his own decision, he wouldn't have wanted to do it at all. Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Qin felt a little nervous.

She clenched her fingers and asked softly: "Is there a banquet now?"

"Yes." Qin Guogong responded coldly.

Mrs. Qin felt a little upset when she saw that he didn't even look at her.

The two have been married for nearly twenty years, and she has never had a good look from him...

If she had known this, why would she have to...

Mrs. Qin felt bitter.

She was about to turn around and order the banquet to begin. At this moment, Qin Guogong suddenly raised his finger in one direction and said, "Why does that girl look a bit like you?"

Mrs. Qin's heart sank. She looked in the direction of his finger and saw that it was Mrs. Qiao.

Her face stiffened for a moment, and she forced a smile and said: "Don't be joking, Mr. Guo, he is from the countryside, and he is no match for me."

When Duke Qin heard this, he turned his eyes to her and asked in a solemn voice, "What's wrong with the people from the countryside?"

Many of the soldiers under him came from rural areas. He did not feel bad about them. Instead, he felt that they were honest and honest, had no evil intentions, but were down-to-earth and hardworking. They were much better than those dudes who came from noble families. .

Mrs. Qin secretly regretted having touched Ni Lin when she was stabbed by his cold gaze. She trembled in her heart and immediately shook her head, "I just said it casually, the Duke of the country is serious."

Duke Qin ignored her and turned to look at his guards, "Go and ask, which house does she belong to?"

"Yes." The guard responded respectfully.

Mrs. Qin felt very uncomfortable when she saw this.

She was sitting next to him, but instead of asking her directly, he asked someone to inquire. This meant that he didn't take her seriously at all.

Or is he attracted to that little bitch?

After all, that little bitch is the same as before...

Mrs. Qin's eyes were cold and she tightened the handkerchief in her hand.

Not long after, the guards found out about it and returned to report to the Duke of Qin: "That is Mrs. Qiao, the wife of Mr. Lu, the Minister of Civil Affairs."

Duke Qin was a little surprised, "Lu Xingzhi's wife?"

"Exactly." The guard nodded.

Duke Guo of Qin waved his hand, "I understand."

The bodyguard stepped aside.

When Mrs. Qin saw that Duke Qin still looked at Qiao Jingjing vaguely after knowing her identity, she felt irritated and a little jealous at the same time.

Duke Qin never takes another look at a woman, but now he is so special to Qiao Jingjing...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin's eyes fell on Qiao Jingjing's almost demonic beautiful face, and she felt disgusted in her heart.

Qiao Jingjing didn't notice the eyes on her from all sides, but she didn't care.

She sat quietly and let others look at her.

As long as others don't mess with her.

When Qin Guogong found that his eyes stayed on her for a long time, he frowned and looked away.

That girl was very beautiful, much like Mrs. Qin when he first met her.

But later on, Mrs. Qin, he could never find the same feeling from her as when they first met...

So he always wonders, was it the drug that caused him to have the illusion?
The banquet began soon.

Courses of delicacies from the mountains and seas were brought to the table by the beautiful maids.

However, this was in the Qin Mansion, and there were people like Mrs. Qin and her daughter watching over her. Coupled with her experience in Nuange, Qiao Jingjing didn't dare to eat casually at this time, no matter how good her appetite was.

"Why don't these dishes suit Madam Lu's taste?" At this time, Madam Qin's voice suddenly sounded.
