After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 8 Failure to perform conjugal rituals
Lin Jiudao: "Do I need my subordinates to open it for inspection?"

Lu Xingzhi thought for a while and nodded, "Yeah."

Lin Jiu heard this and opened the box.

I saw a white silk handkerchief inside.

Lin Jiu wondered, "What is this?" As he spoke, he reached out and pinched the corner of the silk handkerchief and lifted it up.

Instantly, the silk handkerchief unfolded, and a pool of brown blood on it was revealed in front of the two of them.

Judging from the color of the blood, it had been a while.

Lin Jiu was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, "Sir, what does Shen Tingzhi mean by sending this blood-stained silk handkerchief? Is he blatantly provoking you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xingzhi snatched the silk handkerchief from his hand.

When Lin Jiu came to his senses, he saw the adult's face was dark and gloomy, as if he was angry.

Seeing this, he quickly said: "Sir, there is no need to be angry with such a villain. I will teach him a lesson now."

Lu Xingzhi clutched the handkerchief and held it behind his back. The light from the red lantern under the eaves could not illuminate the gloom between his brows and eyes.

After a long while, he narrowed his dark eyes and said solemnly: "No need."

Lin Jiu frowned and was about to say something else, but was interrupted by Lu Xingzhi, "You have been busy all day today, so go down and rest."

Lin Jiu was confused. His Excellency was obviously offended by Shen Tingzhi's gift, but he tolerated it. What exactly was he thinking?

As soon as he left, Lu Xingzhi looked at the handkerchief in his hand, and after a long while, he opened the door to his new house.

When the door opened, he saw at a glance that a woman in a bright red wedding dress was sitting at the table, her chin in her hands, her face flushed, her eyes blurred, as if she was drunk.

He paused, stepped in, then turned around and closed the door.

The collision sound when the door was closed brought Qiao Jingjing back to her senses.

She opened her drunken peach blossom eyes and looked at the man steadily, "Are you back?"

Lu Xingzhi walked over and looked at her with lowered eyes, "Are you drunk?"

"No, I'm not drunk..." Qiao Jingjing shook her head in denial. Thinking of something, she picked up the wine bottle on the table and said drunkenly, "By the way, we're going to have another drink."

However, after pouring for a long time, not a drop of wine came out of the flask. She couldn't help but become a little anxious, "Where is the wine? Why is there no wine?"

Seeing her struggling, Lu Xingzhi had no choice but to hold down the wine bottle and said, "No need to drink."

"Oh." Qiao Jingjing responded slowly, then stood up unsteadily and approached him, "Husband, let me change your clothes..."

However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, Lu Xingzhi took a step back and said in a calm voice: "No need."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him doubtfully, "You really don't need it?"

"No need." Lu Xingzhi said quietly.

Qiao Jingjing was completely drunk, but she still remembered her duty as a wife. When he said no, she didn't insist, "Okay, you can do it yourself."

After saying that, she stumbled onto the bed.

After a while, she fell asleep.

Lu Xingzhi's eyes passed over her beautiful face.

After a while, he turned back and took out the bedding from the cabinet and spread it on the floor.

……

The next day.

When Qiao Jingjing woke up, she only felt a splitting headache.

She reached out and rubbed her temples. Just as she sat up, she heard the door creak and be pushed open.

She turned around and saw Lu Xingzhi coming in with a bowl in his hand.

"Good morning, husband." She put down her hand and said hello.

Lu Xingzhi nodded, approached the bed, and handed the bowl to her, "This is sobering soup. Drink some and you will feel better."

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing vaguely remembered what happened last night. Because she was nervous, she wanted to drink some wine to strengthen her courage, but accidentally drank too much. She couldn't remember much of what happened next.

Apparently, she was drunk last night.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lu Xingzhi more, feeling a little unsure.

Last night, the two of them probably didn't have anything like that, right?
She didn't feel anything at all anyway.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, her heart lifted again.

Although I avoided it last night, I still have to face it tonight.

"Take it." Lu Xingzhi urged her in a low voice when he saw her lowering her head and not responding for a while.

"Thank you, husband." Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and thanked her, then drank the hangover soup obediently.

"Get ready, you're going to serve tea to your parents later." After Lu Xingzhi said that, he went out.

Qiao Jingjing paused and stood up to wash up and change clothes. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and then a young woman's voice said outside: "Madam, I am Caidi, and I was sent by the old lady to serve you. "

Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, then said, "Come in."

Cai Die responded and immediately opened the door and entered.

Because she was going to serve tea to her parents-in-law soon, Qiao Jingjing picked out a festive dress and put it on after washing up.

After all, it was her first day after her wedding, so it was better to dress smartly.

She also applied a thin layer of rouge on her face.

When Cai Die saw this, she smiled and said, "Madam is already beautiful enough, why do you still apply these things on your face?"

Qiao Jingjing paused and glanced at her.

She felt strange just now.

Isn't this Cai Die a servant, but she doesn't call herself a slave, and what she says now is also very transgressive.

But when she first arrived, she endured it and said nothing.

After she packed up, she left the house.

Outside the door, Lu Xingzhi stood there, as if waiting for her.

"Husband." Qiao Jingjing called.

"Let's go." Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, put his hands behind his back, and moved forward.

Qiao Jingjing followed behind, keeping a close distance.

The Lu family's house was re-enlarged and renovated based on the original structure.

Although it is not luxurious, it is considered the best and largest in the village.

At the moment, the Lu family is just making a transition here. In a few days, they will leave here and move to the capital.

When they arrived at the main room, the Lu family were already waiting.

The Lu family has a simple population. Apart from Father Lu and Mother Lu, they have three children.

The eldest son Lu Xingzhi, the second son Lu Xingyan, and the youngest daughter Lu Shuangshuang.

However, today the bride was serving tea, and many members of the Lu family were here. At this time, they were standing crowded together in the room, looking at the bride with smiles.

Seeing this battle, Qiao Jingjing was not nervous. She stepped forward generously and offered tea to Father Lu and Mother Lu, and then received two thick red envelopes and a jade bracelet.

Father Lu seemed quite satisfied with her, but Mother Lu had an indescribable feeling on her face, as if she was disgusted and depressed, but she never said anything unpleasant.

Afterwards, under the guidance of Lu Xingzhi, he said hello to his uncles and aunts in the clan. The bride recognized her on the first day and it was over.

Then everyone had a meal together, and Qiao Jingjing went back to the house, while Lu Xingzhi was left alone by Lu's mother.

"What did mom want to say?" Lu Xingzhi sat down on the chair and asked proactively.

Mother Lu coughed lightly and lowered her voice: "Didn't you do the husband-wife ceremony last night?"
