After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 96 Lu Xingzhi: Don’t worry, I won’t punish you

Mother Lu was also a little uncomfortable at this time.

In her opinion, although her son was talking about Shuangshuang, he was probably beating her up.

For a moment, she felt a little ashamed and annoyed, but she did feel indebted to Jingjing, so she suppressed her annoyance and said, "I understand, I won't mention the past things again."

Lu Xingzhi looked at Lu Shuangshuang with a sullen face and said nothing.

Even though Lu Shuangshuang didn't raise his head, he felt his brother's threatening gaze.

She paused, curled her lips and said, "I know I was wrong, and I promise... that I won't hold on to my sister-in-law's... sister-in-law's past again."

"Sister-in-law, does it burn your mouth?" Lu Xingzhi frowned.

Hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang looked at Qiao Jingjing awkwardly, then lowered his head, "No." After a pause, he said again, "I promise I won't hold on to my sister-in-law's past again!"

"Although you have admitted your mistake now, you always act and speak without thinking and without considering the situation. Those who deserve punishment will still be punished!" Lu Xingzhi said in a serious tone.

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, she saw that there were servants around her. Apparently, they all watched and listened to the trouble she had just made.

At that moment, she slumped her shoulders and said, "I... accept the punishment!"

This time, Mother Lu did not protect her, let alone plead for her.

"I will be fined two months' money, plus copy the Heart Sutra twenty times." Lu Xingzhi said in a deep voice.

Lu Shuangshuang was shocked. Even if he was fined a monthly fee, he still had to copy the Heart Sutra twenty times?
When will she copy it?
"Can't you hear?" Lu Xingzhi's voice raised slightly.

"I heard it." Lu Shuangshuang said with a mournful face.

Qiao Jingjing looked at the brother and sister in shock.

She knew that there were only 260 words in the Heart Sutra, but if copied twenty times, wouldn't it be 5,200 words? And if you still have to use a brush to copy, how long will it take to copy?
She couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Thinking about it, she felt terrible.

Fortunately, she was not caught by Lu Xingzhi, otherwise she would have died on the spot if she had to copy the Heart Sutra twenty times...

Lu Xingzhi saw the horrified look on her face, and for some reason, he thought of the scene where she was practicing calligraphy.

Is this girl scared?

After a pause, he whispered: "Don't worry, I won't punish you."

Qiao Jingjing looked at him flattered.

The corners of Lu Xingzhi's lips curled up imperceptibly, and he looked at Mother Lu and said, "I still have official business to deal with. If you want to go out, ask Ayan or dad to accompany you."

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

She planned to go shopping today. Her original intention was to let the two of them resolve their conflicts while shopping. Unexpectedly, there was such a commotion just now.

But no matter what happened, at least they both admitted their mistake.

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief, took Qiao Jingjing's and Shuangshuang's hands, held them together, and looked at them kindly.

Qiao Jingjing didn't react at all, but Lu Shuangshuang blushed and looked awkward, but she didn't pull away her hand.

Seeing this, Mother Lu smiled, patted their hands, and turned to Lu Xing: "Your father has already disappeared. Isn't Ayan going to the Ministry of War to participate in the competition tomorrow? Don't worry about it." He's gone. We won't go far away without anyone accompanying us."

Looking at the three of them, Lu Xingzhi thought for a while and said, "It's better to ask Butler Wang to accompany you."

Mother Lu did not refuse this time, "That's fine."

Soon, Butler Wang accompanied Mother Lu and the three of them out of the house.

"Old Madam, this is her first time out since she came to the capital. Is there anywhere you want to go? I will take you there." Butler Wang asked.

Mother Lu said: "Let's go to the largest silver building in Beijing first."

Butler Wang was stunned for a moment, but said nothing. Instead, he respectfully helped the three of them onto the carriage and drove the three of them to the Xianghe Building, the largest silver building in Beijing. When they arrived at Xianghe Building, Qiao Jingjing followed Lu Mu and walked in.

It is indeed the largest silver building in Beijing. The decoration is grand and grand, and even the waiters are extraordinary.

Seeing the guests arriving, the waiters immediately greeted them attentively and thoughtfully.

"Invite some distinguished guests."

After entering, the waiter also arranged tea and snacks.

After sitting and resting for a while, Mother Lu asked Qiao Jingjing and Lu Shuangshuang to pick out jewelry together.

Qiao Jingjing glanced at the beautiful and luxurious gold and silver jewelry displayed on the desk, but did not get up.

Those gold and silver jewelry are beautiful to look at, but you can tell at a glance that they are valuable and different from those sold in ordinary shops.

And she also knew that Mother Lu brought her here today with the intention of making up for her.

But she didn't think it was necessary.

Just look at these jewelry, but if you really want to buy them home, the Lu family's treasury will probably be empty.

Lu Shuangshuang saw that she didn't get up and sat still.

"Go." Seeing the two of them not moving, Mother Lu couldn't help but urge.

"I'll forget it, there's no need to buy it." Lu Shuangshuang was very conscious this time, "Let my sister-in-law buy it."

When Mother Lu saw this, she was relieved and her heart softened, especially when she thought about how she had slapped this girl in the house just now.

She suppressed the pain in her heart and said lovingly: "You're already here, let's go pick out a few things with your sister-in-law."

After Lu Shuangshuang heard this, he looked at Qiao Jingjing and said with an uncomfortable expression: "Let's go, I'll go pick it up with you."

Qiao Jingjing shook her head, "I haven't even taken the jewelry I brought back to the bank a few times, so I don't want to buy it again."

Seeing this, Mother Lu was about to persuade her, but was interrupted by a sudden voice, "Do you not want to buy it, or is it because you can't afford it?"

Hearing this voice, Qiao Jingjing turned her head and looked.

I saw the speaker, wearing a red dress, coming down the stairs with a sarcastic look on his face.

Surprisingly, it was Qin Yue'er.

And because of her abrupt words, other guests in the building looked at Qiao Jingjing and the three of them with either curiosity or surprise.

After Qin Yue'er came down the stairs, she covered her lips and smiled, and said playfully: "Do you think they are unfamiliar? Let me introduce to you, this one is Mrs. Lu from the countryside. , the other two are naturally her mother-in-law and sister-in-law."

"So he's from the countryside. No wonder he's so petty." Someone recognized Qin Yue'er's identity and immediately agreed in a flattering manner.

"That's right. I can't afford it. Why come to Xianghe Building to join in the fun?"

"Xianghe Building is the best silver building in Beijing. The jewelry here is naturally expensive and cannot be afforded by ordinary small households. You can come and see the world, but if you want to buy it, I advise you to go there. It’s better to buy from small shops outside.”

Others echoed.

Being looked at by everyone with strange looks, Lu Shuangshuang was so angry that her face turned red and she was speechless.

But Mother Lu and Qiao Jingjing remained calm and unfazed.

However, in the face of Qin Yue'er's provocation, Qiao Jingjing did not choose to remain silent.

I saw that she also covered her lips with a handkerchief, chuckled, and said calmly: "It turns out to be Miss Qin. I wonder where the woman with the long tongue came from. How disrespectful!"
