After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 88 Otherwise, her waist will really fall apart.

She didn't know that when Lu Xingzhi was waiting for her in the afternoon, he had asked Lin Jiu to check everything that happened after she entered the Duke's Mansion.

Therefore, he knew what happened to her in Nuan Pavilion and everything that happened in Qiushui Garden.

It looks like a ridge from the side and a peak from the side. It looks different in height from a distance.

I don't know the true face of Lushan, I am only in this mountain.

Thinking of this poem, Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at her.

Last time, she happened to hear Lin Juren reciting poetry, but what about this time?
It can't be such a coincidence every time. She always listens to other people's chants?
His wife is becoming more and more mysterious.

How many secrets does she have?
As soon as she returned to Lu Mansion, Qiao Jingjing returned to Meixiangyuan and prepared to take a nap.

So she didn't know that the first thing Lu Xingzhi did after returning to the study was to write a letter.

After putting down the pen, he sat quietly for a long time before folding the letter and putting it into an envelope.

Qiao Jingjing didn't know that she actually had some friendship with Lin Juren.

If those two poems were written by him, he would know if he wrote to them and asked.

However, after loading the letter, he was about to summon Lin Jiu when he saw him walking in hastily.

"Sir, something happened."

"What's the matter?" Lu Xingzhi asked in a deep voice.

"Those brothers who were sent to keep an eye on Shen Tingzhi...we can't contact them all." Lin Jiu rested his hand on his sword, with a solemn look on his face.

"Can't contact you?" Lu Xingzhi frowned.

"Yes." Lin Jiu nodded, "My subordinates have sent them messages twice, but they have not received any response. This has never happened before."

"No reply twice?" Lu Xingzhi's expression became more solemn.

"Exactly." Lin Jiuyi looked anxious, "That's why my subordinates thought that something happened to them." At this point, he paused and said with a serious face, "And it is possible that all those brothers have been killed... …”

Lu Xingzhi frowned.

After a moment, he said calmly: "When was the last time you contacted them?"

Lin Jiu gathered his emotions and replied: "Half a month ago, those brothers sent back the news that Shen Tingzhi was ill. He changed his previous debauchery and stayed behind closed doors all day long. Because of this, our people Maybe we have slacked off." At this point, he clenched his fists, "But even so, Shen Tingzhi cannot have the ability to give up all our people..."

He held back the rest of his words and didn't say any more.

Lu Xingzhi pondered for a moment, and there was a hint of sharpness in his cold eyes, "It seems that Shen Tingzhi has long known that our people are monitoring him."

Lin Jiu was surprised when he heard this, "But our people have always acted carefully and closely, how could Shen Tingzhi find out?"

"There is always a gap in the secrets. Besides, he wanted to kidnap my father-in-law last time. If I guessed correctly, he should have realized that someone was watching him at that time." Lu Xingzhi said calmly.

Lin Jiu frowned, "So, Shen Tingzhi is pretending to be sick? In order to make our people relax, he will take advantage of our people's unpreparedness and kill them in one fell swoop... But in this way, it is difficult for him to leave Why does he need to take such a big risk to clear up the relationship?"

"Rather than being watched and found out about Xiaoyaosan, it is better to take the risk, destroy the body, destroy all traces, and then burn it." Lu Xingzhi rapped his knuckles on the table, a chill in his tone.

Lin Jiu was shocked, "Your Majesty, what you mean is that Shen Tingzhi's killing of our people does not count, but their corpses must be destroyed, and the workshop where Xiaoyao San is made must be burned to the ground?"

"He killed so many of us, and he knew that he would definitely alarm me, so he would naturally destroy the bodies and eliminate all traces. In this case, even if I went to Chuzhou in person, I would have no choice but to return without success." Lu Xingzhi's eyebrows were cold.

"But the benefits Xiaoyao San can bring are so considerable, he is willing to give it up?"

"You have to give it up even if you don't want to. His move is called cutting off the tail to survive." Lu Xingzhi said coldly, "But I didn't expect that a profit-seeking person like Shen Tingzhi would have such determination and courage."

"Could it be related to the person behind the scenes?" Lin Jiu asked.

"It's also possible." Lu Xingzhi nodded, thought for a moment, and then ordered, "You should rush to Chuzhou as soon as possible. If you go faster, you might be able to find evidence of Shen Tingzhi's Xiaoyaosan, and those brothers..." Lin Jiu Yi Lin gritted his teeth and said: "Yes, I will leave for Chuzhou immediately. I will definitely find evidence of Shen Tingzhi's Xiaoyaosan crime. Even if there is no evidence, I will seek justice for my brothers."

Lu Xingzhi knew that he valued those brothers, so he patted him on the shoulder and told him: "Be careful in everything and don't be impulsive. If you can't find evidence, it doesn't matter. Keep Shen Tingzhi safe first. If you have any news, report it in time." In a few days, I will go to Chuzhou in person."

"Okay." Lin Jiu fisted her fist, then turned around and walked out.

Lu Xingzhi put his hands behind his hands and thought for a moment.

When he returned to the desk, he paused when he saw the letter on the table, and finally locked the letter in the drawer.

Since he is going to Chuzhou, he can go and see Lin Juren in person.

……

Meixiangyuan.

Qiao Jingjing didn't know what happened in the study.

After waking up, she ate something and then poured all the coins in her purse onto the table.

She counted it again and found that she had a lot of money.

I have to say that the eldest princess's money is still very easy to earn.

It's not a lot of money, but it's better than nothing.

The corners of her lips curved up, and she shared some with Mallow and Qingyuan.

The two maids were flattered and asked, "Why do the slaves also have a share?"

"Of course you have a share and you have contributed," Qiao Jingjing said, "But the money is not much."

Having said that, this money is really hard to make.

In order to earn this little money, the three of them, the master and the servant, spent half a day in the eldest princess's mansion.

Fortunately, the eldest princess did not say that she would go to the eldest princess' mansion tomorrow.

Otherwise, her waist would be so loose that she would spend half a day or a whole day sitting there.

……

The next day, Qiao Jingjing had nothing to do. Thinking that she hadn't been to Dexin Hall for a few days, she planned to go over to visit Mother Lu and say hello to her.

As a result, when she passed by, Hao Hao was also there. She and Lu Shuangshuang were playing cards with Lu's mother.

"Wang Bang!"

Hearing this familiar statement, Qiao Jingjing raised her eyebrows and looked at the hands of several people. They were holding playing cards.

And what they were playing was Landlords.

I learned quite quickly!
Qiao Jingjing sneered in her heart, walked in, and called out: "Mother."

Mother Lu was exposed to this kind of cards for the first time and was in a state of excitement and surprise. When she saw her coming, she immediately waved to her, "Jingjing came just in time. Hao Hao brought this interesting card. It's really fun. You want to Don’t you want to play together?”

Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing glanced at Hao Hao and Lu Shuangshuang.

Did Hao Hao bring the playing cards?

However, judging from Mother Lu's tone, the two of them probably didn't say that they learned the game of Landlords from her, and it seemed that Hao Hao would invent the game of playing cards and take it upon herself.

You are really thick-skinned!
