After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 87 I really have no strength left

Qiao Jingjing, who was putting the copper coins into her purse, paused when she heard this, sighed deliberately, and said helplessly: "Your Highness doesn't understand that after you become a married woman, many things are beyond our control. If you are too late, I will If I go back, I'm afraid my parents-in-law will be dissatisfied and my husband will be displeased."

The eldest princess was stunned for a moment and looked at her with some sympathy, "Is the Lu family difficult to get along with?"

Qiao Jingjing coughed lightly, "No, actually they get along quite well. It's just that after a woman gets married, there are always a lot of inconveniences."

However, the eldest princess has decided that she will not have an easy time in her husband's family.

She frowned and said, "If the Lu family makes things difficult for you, you can tell me and I will come forward to support you."

Qiao Jingjing was a little stunned, but she did not reject the other party's kindness, "Thank you, Princess."

The eldest princess looked at her and suddenly said, "I didn't expect Lu Shangshu to be such a person. I also said that he was different from other men, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

There was a sense of joy in his words.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

The eldest princess seems to have... misunderstood something.

"Okay, you can go back. Lu Jing, send him back properly. If you meet the Lu family, give him a good beating." The eldest princess turned around and ordered.

"Yes." Lu Jing responded respectfully.

Qiao Jingjing looked at the eldest princess and wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

Forget it, just let her misunderstand, and there will be no loss to Lu Xingzhi.

Soon, she took two maids and left the eldest princess's mansion with Lu Jing.

However, as soon as they left the house, they saw a familiar carriage parked there in the distance.

"Madam, that carriage seems to belong to our family." Mallow said immediately.

Qingyuan smiled and said: "What does it look like? It is. Didn't you see Lin Jiu sitting there?"

Qiao Jingjing also saw clearly at this time that it was indeed the Lu family's carriage, and the person sitting in the driving position of the carriage was indeed Lin Jiu.

She wondered.

Could it be that Lu Xingzhi sent him to pick her up?

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Jiu drove over in a carriage.

Not long after, they arrived in front of the mansion.

Lin Jiu jumped off the carriage, set up the horse stool, and said respectfully: "Madam, please get in the carriage."

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she said to Lu Jing, "I have family members who have come to pick me up, so I won't bother Guard Lu."

Lu Jing nodded lightly.

Qiao Jingjing held the maid's hand and got into the carriage.

At this moment, the closed curtain was lifted by a slender hand.

The unprepared Qiao Jingjing was startled and turned around to jump out of the carriage, but at this moment, a low and familiar voice sounded, "Mrs."

She paused and turned around slowly.

In the carriage, a handsome and handsome man was sitting there, looking at her coldly.

Qiao Jingjing blinked, with a look of surprise on her face, "Husband, husband, why are you here?"

Lin Jiu, who was standing next to the carriage, replied quickly: "Madam, my lord has been waiting for you here all afternoon."

Qiao Jingjing looked at Lu Xingzhi in shock, "You... have been waiting here for me all afternoon?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at Lin Jiu lightly.

Lin Jiu lowered his head. He didn't say anything, he just told the truth.

Lu Xingzhi looked away and said calmly: "Come in, go back."

Qiao Jingjing finally came to her senses, bent over and walked in.

But she still had doubts.

Why did Lu Xingzhi wait for her here for so long?

"Why are you waiting for me here? I heard Mr. Xiahou say that you were left in the imperial study by the emperor to discuss important matters." She couldn't help but say.

"After I left the palace, I went to the Duke of Qin's mansion, but I was told that you had been picked up by the eldest princess." Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and explained lightly. "After you left the palace, you went to the Duke of Qin's mansion to look for me? Was it because you were worried about me?" Qiao Jingjing blinked and asked immediately.

Lu Xingzhi paused and denied, "I'm not worried."

"Really?" Qiao Jingjing came closer and looked at him suspiciously.

She suddenly came closer, making Lu Xingzhi stunned for a moment.

His cold gaze lightly passed over the girl's beautiful face, which was so close at hand, and then he lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

"Then why are you waiting here for me all afternoon?" Qiao Jingjing sat back and looked at him puzzled.

"I didn't wait for you all afternoon." Lu Xing knew.

Qiao Jingjing wanted to ask again, but suddenly the man asked again: "Have you practiced the calligraphy I asked you to practice again?"

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

He changed the topic so quickly that it took her a long time to remember that she actually practiced calligraphy.

She thought he had forgotten it, but she didn't expect to remember it so clearly.

She coughed lightly and said weakly: "...I want to practice, but I'm too busy these days."

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her and said, "In that case, when you go back later, follow me to the study room and continue practicing."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Thinking of the last time she went to the study with him to practice calligraphy, she blinked, stretched out her hands to knead her waist and legs, and said with a tired look on her face: "I'm really tired today, can I try another day?"

"Tired?" Lu Xingzhi's eyes fell on her.

Qiao Jingjing paused and said, "Although I didn't do any heavy work, going to the Duke's Mansion for a banquet today exhausted all my energy. You don't know how good Mrs. Qin and Miss Qin are at making things difficult for others. He mustered up all his energy to deal with them, and later followed the eldest princess back to the eldest princess's mansion, and played cards with her all afternoon.

I, I really have no strength..."

Now she really just wants to go back and lie down, doing nothing, and doesn't want to go to the study to practice calligraphy.

When Lu Xingzhi heard this, he couldn't help but think of the last time she said she couldn't lift a pen after eating.

After a pause, he said instead: "Since I'm too tired today, I'll come to the study again tomorrow to practice calligraphy."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

Is it difficult to get through the difficulties of practicing calligraphy?

She couldn't help but mutter: "You always want me to practice calligraphy. I think you clearly dislike me."

After saying that, she raised her eyes to look at the man and saw that he was leaning against the car wall, dozing off and making no sound. She didn't know whether he heard it or not.

She was a little embarrassed.

"Mrs. Qin and the others...why are they making things difficult for you?" At this time, the man suddenly said.

Qiao Jingjing was startled, and then she said, "Actually, it's nothing. She just said that I'm a village girl, either openly or secretly. Anyway, I'm thick-skinned and don't care about it."

"That's it?" Lu Xingzhi looked at her with cold eyes.

Meeting his eyes, Qiao Jingjing felt a little uneasy, but she still nodded, "That's just it."

Lu Xingzhi smiled, but said nothing more.

When Qiao Jingjing saw this, she was secretly relieved.

At that moment, she thought he already knew what happened in Qiushui Garden, including the poem she wrote.

In the last poem, she could use Lin Juren as an excuse.

But this time, she couldn't use any excuses.

Because once is a coincidence, twice is suspicious.

Fortunately, all the male guests had left at that time, otherwise if Xia Houxi was still here, he would definitely tell Lu Xingzhi.

Fortunately, Xia Houxi also left at that time.

But what she didn't notice was that there was a hint of deep thought in the man's lowered eyes.
