After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 99 Want to spend the night in Qiao Jingjing’s house

The man was looking anxiously at Mother Lu who was walking away. When he saw Butler Wang coming to stop him, he became angry and said, "Who are you?"

Seeing that Mother Lu and others had already gone out, Butler Wang did not stop the man, but said calmly, "You don't need to know who I am." After that, he walked aside leisurely.

The man was very angry, but he was thinking about the person in his heart and hurriedly chased him out the door.

But people were coming and going outside, and Mother Lu and others had long since disappeared.

He couldn't help but feel discouraged.

In the back alley of Zuixian Tower, a carriage was parked. It was the carriage that Qiao Jingjing and others were riding in.

When a few people came to Zuixian Tower just now, because there were too many people in front of the door, Butler Wang drove the carriage into the alley behind.

At this time, Qiao Jingjing and Lu Shuangshuang had returned to the carriage, but the expressions of Mother Lu and Aunt Rong had returned to normal, as if the episode in the restaurant just now was really just the other party recognizing the wrong person.

"Mom, did that person know you just now?" Lu Shuangshuang couldn't help but spoke curiously after thinking of what happened just now.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How did I know that person?" Mother Lu's face looked a little unnatural.

"But that person called you Xiaozhu, and I heard dad call you that too..." Lu Shuangshuang muttered in a low voice.

Mother Lu's expression changed, "You, you misheard."

Lu Shuangshuang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Aunt Rong, "Miss, don't even think about it. The old lady grew up in the countryside, how can she know people from Beijing?"

Hearing this, Lu Shuangshuang nodded, "That's right. The person just now showed that his identity was not simple. He wouldn't go to a place like Xingzi Village. But how could that person mistake his mother for his mother?"

"What's so strange about this? Maybe the old lady looks similar to that person's relatives and friends, so she recognized the wrong person." Aunt Rong said again.

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, the doubts in his heart disappeared.

She looked at Mother Lu's face, which was still charming even though she was no longer young, and couldn't help but joke, "But my mother was born so well. If she was born into a wealthy family, she would definitely marry into a prominent family."

Mother Lu was startled.

Aunt Rong said hurriedly: "Miss, please don't talk nonsense. It will be bad if the master hears it later. Besides, the old lady is living a very good life now. The eldest son is so ambitious that he has become the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I'm afraid he won't be able to How many people can be as lucky as the old lady?"

Speaking of this matter, Lu Shuangshuang was also proud, "That's right. My eldest brother is so outstanding, but my mother is lucky."

Aunt Rong secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Mother Lu.

Mother Lu's expression was also relaxed.

Qiao Jingjing never spoke, but she felt that what happened in Zuixian Tower just now was probably not a coincidence.

I'm afraid that man didn't admit his mistake. He really knew Mother Lu.

But why is Mother Lu unwilling to admit it?

she mused.

Not long after, Butler Wang came back.

Mother Lu glanced at Aunt Rong.

Aunt Rong went out with understanding.

After a while, the carriage started moving.

"You are tired today, please rest for a while." At this time, Mother Lu suddenly said.

Lu Shuangshuang yawned, lay on her lap, and closed his eyes.

When Qiao Jingjing saw Mother Lu looking at her, she also looked sleepy and leaned against the car wall.

But she was not sleepy, on the contrary, she was very energetic.

She always felt that there was a story about Mother Lu.

As expected, after the carriage circled the streets of the capital for several times, it returned to the Lu Mansion when it got dark.

After getting off the carriage, Lu Shuangshuang saw that it was getting dark outside. Lu Shuangshuang was very puzzled, "Why did it get dark so fast?"

"When the old lady saw you and your wife falling asleep, she asked Butler Wang to drive the carriage slower. Didn't this waste time?" Aunt Rong explained from the side.

When Lu Shuangshuang heard this, he said "Oh" and didn't think much about it.

Qiao Jingjing understood clearly in her heart.

Because she never fell asleep. The reason why they returned to the Lu Mansion so late was because Mother Lu asked Butler Wang to run around the streets of Beijing several times.

And her purpose for doing this was obviously not to be followed.

She didn't want the person in Zuixian Tower to know that she lived in Lu Mansion.

Several people walked towards the mansion gate with different thoughts.

At this time, a person suddenly walked out of the door.

The man was slender, wearing a dark green robe, with handsome features and a cold and distant temperament. He was Lu Xingzhi.

Seeing him, Qiao Jingjing was stunned for a moment, "Husband?"

"A Xing is going out?" Mother Lu also asked.

When Lu Shuangshuang saw Lu Xingzhi, like a mouse seeing a cat, he immediately hid behind Mother Lu.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, looked at Mother Lu and Qiao Jingjing, frowned and said, "Why are you coming back now? It's already dark."

"Mom took us to buy jewelry and then took us to dinner, so we were delayed." Qiao Jingjing replied.

When she said this, she noticed Mother Lu's relieved expression.

Lu Xingzhi didn't ask any more questions and just said, "Go in."

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded and followed him. Just as she was about to enter the house, Mother Lu suddenly said, "By the way, A Xing, you were specifically waiting for Jingjing, right?"

Qiao Jingjing looked at her in astonishment.

How could she think so?

Of course not.

Sure enough, Lu Xingzhi paused and said calmly: "The three of you are together."

Qiao Jingjing echoed: "That's right." So why are you waiting for her?
Mother Lu glanced at Lu Xingzhi with a half-smile, "To be honest, is it so difficult? No one will laugh at you."

Lu Xingzhi: "..."

He pursed his thin lips and looked at Qiao Jingjing.

Qiao Jingjing was startled, what was she doing?
After entering the house, Mother Lu said to Lu Xing: "It's getting dark. You can take Jingjing back to the courtyard. I bought her some jewelry and let her wear it for you later." After saying that, Lu Xingzhi didn't wait for Lu Xingzhi. If he said anything else, he took Lu Shuang away quickly.

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhi and Qiao Jingjing stopped at the same time.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Jingjing said: "Well... if you are busy, you don't need to send me off. I can go back by myself."

Lu Xingzhi glanced down at her, took the lantern handed by the servant, and said warmly: "I'm not busy, let's go."

Qiao Jingjing glanced at him in surprise, "Oh."

Mother Lu's move to create a space for her and Lu Xingzhi to be alone was so obvious that she didn't believe Lu Xingzhi was aware of it.

But even if he noticed it, he still wanted to send her back to Meixiangyuan, so tonight...

Thinking of this, she bit her lower lip.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the door of Meixiangyuan, the man did not stop, but followed her straight into the house.

"Did you eat tonight?" Qiao Jingjing turned around and asked after putting down her things.

Lu Xingzhi just sat down on the chair. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "Not yet."

"Then do you want to have dinner at my place?" Qiao Jingjing asked again.

"Yeah." Lu Xingzhi nodded.

Qiao Jingjing had just finished instructing her servants to prepare the meal when she heard a man's deep and pleasant voice behind her say: "Madam, you haven't practiced your calligraphy today yet. You'll start practicing after you finish your meal later."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She thought he came to her yard tonight because he wanted to spend the night at her place, but it turned out that he came to watch her practice calligraphy?

"Don't slack off when practicing calligraphy. You need to practice more." Seeing her silence, the man thought she didn't want to practice, so he advised her gently.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."
