After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 84 A feeling of déjà vu

Others thought that Duke Qin loved her very much and doted on her like the apple of his eye. In fact, he had always been stern with her in the palace.

If she did something wrong, he wouldn't scold her, and if she did something good, he wouldn't get any praise from him.

But now, he was so complimentary to Qiao Jingjing, whom she had only met once, which made her feel particularly uncomfortable, and the look she looked at Qiao Jingjing made her even more disgusted.

Unable to resist, she said in a sarcastic tone: "Of course she and Mr. Lu are a good match. After all, they both grew up in the countryside."

Anyone could tell that these words were mocking Qiao Jingjing's background.

Duke Qin frowned, but before he could say anything, the eldest princess's cold and displeased voice rang out, "So what if you grew up in the country?"

Qin Yue'er hesitated.

Everyone can see that the eldest princess is protecting Qiao Jingjing.

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

Qiao Jingjing is just a village girl, so why can she impress her father and the eldest princess?
She was extremely unwilling and opened her mouth to say something else, but Mrs. Qin held her hand down.

"Eldest Princess, I hope the eldest princess won't take it to heart if I say what I say but don't mean it. When the eldest princess comes to my house, please come and have a glass of wine." Mrs. Qin said to smooth things over.

Hearing this, the eldest princess glanced at her and suddenly said: "I won't drink wine anymore. But I heard that Mrs. Qin has been a vegetarian all year round and chants sutras and chants Buddha's name. It seems that she has not cultivated the Buddha's heart."

Mrs. Qin was shocked and was speechless for a long time.

The eldest princess sneered coldly, turned to Qiao Jingjing and said: "It seems that you came to the Duke of Qin's mansion for a banquet today, and they didn't welcome you that much. In that case, please follow me back to the eldest princess's mansion."

Others looked shocked.

But Qiao Jingjing's mouth twitched.

How obsessed is the eldest princess with Landlords? She actually came to the Duke of Qin’s Mansion to find her?

She felt strange when she suddenly saw her just now. She didn't hear her say yesterday that she would come to the Duke of Qin's mansion, but now she understands.

The eldest princess came to her to fight the landlord!

"Okay." In the end, she readily agreed.

Rather than stay here and continue to face the treacherous Mrs. Qin and her daughter, she would really rather accompany the eldest princess to fight the landlord.

The eldest princess is a bit cold-tempered, but at least she won't be arrogant or play tricks on her.

Seeing that she agreed, a smile appeared on the eldest princess's usually cold face, but it soon returned to normal.

After she glanced at Mrs. Qin and Qin Yue'er, she looked at Duke Qin, "Today is Duke Qin's birthday. I should have stayed for a glass of wine, but the people in your house are not hospitable, so I won't stay any longer." In addition, I also took Mrs. Lu away with me."

Hearing this, Duke Qin glanced at Mrs. Qin, dissatisfaction flashed across his eyes, and then he nodded slightly to the eldest princess, "In this case, I will not retain her, the eldest princess can do as she pleases."

The eldest princess didn't come specifically to celebrate him.

Although when she came just now, she said she wanted to join in the fun, so he personally brought her to the Qiushui Garden.

But judging from her behavior towards Mrs. Lu, she came here just for Mrs. Lu.

"Prince Qin, I wish you a happy birthday, happiness every day, health and longevity!" At this time, Qiao Jingjing suddenly said.

Duke Qin was startled and his eyes fell on her.

I saw this little girl with a serious look on her face.

A very strange feeling suddenly arose in Qin Guogong's heart.

He just felt that among the people who came to celebrate him, none of her words made him feel sincere.

"Thank you!" After coming back to his senses, Qin Guogong also looked solemn.

Seeing this, Qiao Jingjing was slightly surprised.

In her opinion, the Duke of Qin was an important minister with military power, and he should be aloof and difficult to get close to.

But the Duke of Qin she saw in front of her was kinder than she thought. Moreover, she could also feel that he was indeed different from Mrs. Qin and her daughter, and he had no ill intentions towards her.

Thinking about it, she took the congratulatory gift from Mallow and handed it to Qin Guogong, "I heard that you love to play chess. This is a black jade chess piece that my husband specially asked for. I hope you like it."

Duke Qin was startled and his eyes fell on the gift in her hand, "Give it to me?"

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

"Let's go." The eldest princess suddenly said.

Qiao Jingjing saw that she was a little impatient, so she had to put the gift into the hands of Qin Guogong, and then said in a hurry: "I have no research on chess pieces, but I heard my husband mentioned that these black jade chess pieces are for those who like to play chess. I would say it’s top quality.”

After saying that, without waiting for Duke Qin's reaction, she followed the eldest princess and walked out.

"Farewell to the eldest princess!"

The female relatives all saluted.

Duke Guo of Qin stood there, looking at the girl walking away, feeling warm in his heart.

After a long time, he withdrew his gaze and looked down at the gift in his hand.

He has made numerous military exploits in his life, and now that he is in this position, he has everything he needs and has seen all kinds of good things.

But for some reason, the gift given to him by that little girl Qiao Jingjing filled his chest with warmth.

Very strange feeling.

Obviously today, the two met for the first time.

But she gave him a sense of déjà vu.

Looking at the congratulatory gift in his hand, his usually stern and unsmiling face softened vaguely.

Qiao Jingjing followed the eldest princess out of Qiushui Garden, and she could vaguely feel an unkind gaze following her.

I just don’t know, is it Mrs. Qin or Qin Yue’er?

But she knew that neither mother nor daughter were good people, and they had formed a quarrel with her.

Qin Yue'er sat back in her seat with a gloomy look.

She really hates Qiao Jingjing.

Especially when she thought of her father's praise for her, she felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qiao Jingjing, a country girl, what virtues and abilities is there?

Also, with the drumming and spreading of flowers just now, she not only did not make Qiao Jingjing embarrassed, but also made her praised by her father, Mrs. Chen and others, which made her very unwilling.

Mrs. Qin, who was sitting next to her, was in a good mood. But sensing her daughter's depression, she calmed down and comforted her in a low voice: "Yue'er, don't be angry, she's just a country girl, she doesn't deserve it."

Hearing this, Qin Yue'er felt a little more at ease, "Yes, she's just a country girl."

Seeing that her daughter had figured it out, Mrs. Qin felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Just because she felt Qin Guogong's unusual attitude towards Qiao Jingjing.

Thinking of this, she felt a haze in her heart.

After Qin Guogong left Qiushui Garden, he immediately summoned his personal guards, "How is the investigation going?"

The guard hesitated for a moment and then said: "Duke, my subordinates have investigated and found that the matter is exactly as Mrs. Lu said. As soon as she arrived at the mansion, she was led to the Nuan Pavilion by her servants.

As for the food prepared in Nuan Pavilion, when I went down, it had been cleaned and there were no traces at all, so I didn't find anything.

However, Mrs. Lu did encounter some twists and turns before arriving at Qiushui Garden..."
