After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Hearing this, Mr. Chen's face relaxed obviously, and he smiled and said: "Sir Lu, please don't bury Xiaguan. Xiaguan is just a rough man. How can he understand the world?"

The other officials laughed.

For a time, the atmosphere in the private room became much more relaxed.

They all believed that Lu Xingzhi was just like them, a drunkard and a womanizer.

After a few glasses of wine, everyone became more relaxed.

Shen Tingzhi also lowered his guard and said with a smile: "Sir, please rest assured, the common people don't understand other people, but they still have some experience in appreciating beauties."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly noticed a cold gaze falling on him.

He suddenly felt a dense chill creeping up his back.

He subconsciously turned to look at Lu Xingzhi.

Lu Xingzhi raised his glass and said, "Why, Mr. Shen is telling lies? Where is the beauty you mentioned?"

Shen Tingzhi came back to his senses, suppressed the doubts in his heart, hurriedly picked up the cup, touched it with his, and then smiled and said: "How dare a commoner speak big words and deceive the Lord? Let me invite the beauty in."

Lu Xingzhi skillfully covered up the coldness in his eyes by drinking. He said in a calm tone, "Then don't keep these adults waiting."

"The grassroots will make arrangements now." After Shen Tingzhi said this, he turned around and gave some instructions to the boy.

The boy immediately took the order and went.

Shen Tingzhi turned around and saw Lu Xingzhi joking with several officials, and doubts arose in his heart again.

Does Lu Xingzhi really not hold grudges about what happened in Xingzi Village that day?

Even if he didn't care about the conflict at Qiao's house that day, could he still not care about "taking away" Qiao Jingjing's chastity from him?

Thinking of this, his heart trembled, but he continued to drink with the officials calmly.

Not long after, eight young and beautiful girls came in.

They are all graceful and graceful, and their movements are full of charm.

Except for Lu Xingzhi, several other officials looked straight.

When Shen Tingzhi saw this, he chuckled and introduced: "These girls are all new servants of Chunfeng Tower. They are very clean and have not yet bloomed..." When he said these words, he deliberately paused. After a moment, he continued, "If you are interested, sir, you can enjoy it as much as you like."

When he said the word "sir", he glanced at Lu Xingzhi clearly.

All the officials understood it.

After all, among the officials present, Lu Xingzhi had the highest rank. Not to mention Shen Tingzhi, even these officials wanted to please him.

Therefore, in the face of the beauty, although several officials were already confused, they held back and did not move. They only waited for Lu Xingzhi to make a selection first before they made their choice.

For a moment, all eyes in the room, including those beautiful girls, fell on Lu Xingzhi.

The girls quietly looked at this high-ranking official. Seeing that he had a cold and distant temperament and was difficult to approach, but he had a handsome face, they all couldn't help but blush. Some of the bolder ones even openly glanced at him.

However, the man was sitting on the chair, looking cold and indifferent.

Seeing this, Shen Tingzhi, including several officials, couldn't help but feel worried.

Although they were not in the capital, they had heard about this young Minister of Civil Affairs.

Rumor has it that this Lu Shangshu is a man of few desires and not close to women. He can show no pretense when faced with the eldest princess’s advances. This shows that he has extraordinary determination...

Thinking of this, Shen Tingzhi and several officials secretly wiped their sweat.

They are not afraid of high-ranking officials, but they are afraid that high-ranking officials have no weaknesses and cannot overcome them.

If Lu Xingzhi was not greedy for money or lustful, how could they stabilize him and bribe him?
A gloomy look flashed across Shen Tingzhi's eyes, and he suddenly winked at a beauty standing in the middle.

The beauty understood, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and walked towards Lu Xingzhi with gentle steps.

Even though they had received special training in Chunfeng Tower, their hearts were still beating wildly when they faced such a handsome and high-ranking official like Lu Xingzhi.

"Sir, I'll pour you some wine..."

She said she was pouring wine, but she came close to Lu Xingzhi as if she had no bones in her body.

But at this moment, Lu Xingzhi suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at her. That look was extremely chilling.

The beauty's movements froze, and suddenly she no longer dared to be bold.

She straightened up and stood there properly, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at Shen Tingzhi and several officials, then picked up the wine glass and said lightly, "Is this the stuff?"

Although he did not speak harshly or sarcastically, everyone could hear the disdain in his words.

Shen Tingzhi and others all looked embarrassed.

For some reason, the beauty they thought was beautiful just now, after what he said, looked at her now and suddenly felt that she was nothing more than that.

"Mr. Shen, this is your fault. What kind of world has Mr. Lu not seen? How could such a beautiful girl fall in Mr. Lu's eyes?
Don't let Mr. Lu laugh anymore, please withdraw. "At this time, the Chuzhou prefect spoke out to smooth things over.

Shen Tingzhi came to his senses and immediately apologized: "It's just common people who are short-sighted and didn't think carefully. I hope Mr. Lu can forgive me." After that, he asked someone to take the girls out.

But at this moment, Lu Xingzhi suddenly spoke again, his tone full of helplessness, "Mr. Shen, it's not that these girls are not beautiful enough, but that there is a jealous woman in the family. If she finds out, I will run away." If you come here to drink flower wine, you will definitely make trouble with me."

As soon as these words came out, the originally stagnant atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed again.

"It turns out that Mr. Lu has a strict wife." Everyone laughed understandingly.

Lu Xingzhi also smiled and said, "Don't mention it."

After everyone laughed, they understood in their hearts.

Having a strict wife at home is just an excuse. After all, Mr. Lu comes from Beijing, and his taste and vision are not comparable to those of them. I am afraid he really doesn't like those beauties.

Shen Tingzhi is even more certain about this level.

After all, he had seen Qiao Jingjing's beauty.

Compared with these girls in Chunfeng Tower, they are really like heaven and earth.

No wonder Lu Xingzhi looked down upon him.

With such a beautiful wife by my side...

Shen Tingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart couldn't help but be filled with jealousy.

If Lu Xingzhi hadn't come back suddenly that time, Qiao Jingjing would have become his woman...

"Young Master Shen also has a kind intention that cannot be let down. Now that the beauty is here, please stay. You must not lose interest because of me." At this time, Lu Xingzhi's voice sounded again.

Shen Tingzhi came back to his senses and saw that the other officials had turned their eyes to the girls. His expression suddenly relaxed and he yelled at the girls: "Why are you still standing there? Since the adults don't mind, just take good care of them."

In an instant, the girls walked towards the officials gracefully.

The officials no longer had any scruples and could not help but reach out to the girls.

For a while, the room was filled with the sounds of warblers and swallows.

Only Lu Xingzhi was still sitting on the chair, and the beauty next to him was also sitting in a well-behaved manner, not daring to go out of his way at all.

Seeing this, Shen Tingzhi picked up the wine glass and said: "Today, the common people are not doing things properly. I will punish myself with three glasses of wine." After that, he raised his neck and drank the wine.

Lu Xingzhi said nothing and watched him drink.

After three glasses of wine, Shen Tingzhi said again: "Today's arrangement cannot satisfy Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu doesn't mind it, the common people will hold a new banquet in Chunfeng Tower tomorrow to entertain Mr. Lu. Your Excellency is satisfied.”

Lu Xingzhi raised his lips and said, "Young Master Shen said this, I'm quite looking forward to it."

When Shen Tingzhi heard this, he felt happy. Did he agree to his invitation?

It seems that this Lu Xingzhi is not as upright as he appears.

Deep down, I'm afraid he's also a lecher.

But this way, things will be easier to handle.

The other party suddenly came to Chuzhou, and he had to figure out his purpose.
