After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 138 Lu Xingzhi had already discovered that it was her
Unexpectedly, this beauty was so capable. Not only did she help her resolve the dilemma, but she also subdued this high-ranking official.

This beauty has climbed to a high branch, and she will definitely have a bright future in the future.

Thinking of this, she thought of the remaining two thousand taels of silver notes.

She originally wanted to spend the two thousand taels of silver notes, but the senior official actually came out with the beauty in his arms, obviously he valued the beauty very much.

It's really not worth it to offend that beauty for two thousand taels.

Thinking about it, the madam took the banknote and hurriedly chased him out.

"Sir, this is a girl's training thing, please pass it on to me."

When they arrived outside the door, they saw Lu Xingzhi holding Qiao Jingjing and about to get into the carriage. The madam quickly handed over a purse with both hands.

Lu Xingzhi glanced at it and reached out to take it.

The madam breathed a sigh of relief and stepped aside respectfully.

Soon, Lu Xingzhi hugged Qiao Jingjing and got on the carriage.

Then the carriage started.

In the carriage, Lu Xingzhi looked at the sleeping person in his arms and suddenly said, "Get up when you wake up."

When Qiao Jingjing saw that he had discovered it, she stopped pretending, pushed him away quickly, sat aside, and said with a cold face: "Where are you taking me, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Xingzhi said calmly: "Of course I want to take you home."

Qiao Jingjing almost exploded when she heard the word "go home".

This guy has gone too far. Even if he provokes women outside, he also wants to take the woman outside. Where does this put her?
"Stop the car, I want to get out!" she said coldly.

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, raised his eyes and looked at her, "Then where is Madam going?"

Qiao Jingjing was startled, "Husband, madam?"

There was no smile in Lu Xingzhi's black eyes, and he looked at her quietly.

Qiao Jingjing came back to her senses and stammered: "You, you know it's me?"

"Why did Madam say this? Why didn't I know it was you?" Lu Xingzhi looked surprised.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She quickly thought of something and quickly checked the veil on her face and found that it was still well worn. Could it be that he secretly lifted her veil to take a look when she was asleep?

Thinking about it, she frowned and said, "When did you find out it was me? Have you ever lifted my veil?"

"Madam, shouldn't you first explain why you appeared in Chunfeng Tower?" Lu Xingzhi's face was serious.

Qiao Jingjing choked.

Is this a settlement of accounts?

Her eyes evaded.

"Why, is this question so difficult to answer?" Lu Xingzhi's black eyes slowly narrowed.

"I..." Qiao Jingjing suddenly hesitated.

She couldn't say that she got into a brothel and became an oiran because she was worried about him, right?

She absolutely couldn't tell the truth until she figured out when he found out it was hers.

Unless he knew it was her in Chunfeng Tower from the beginning, she would not say it.

Otherwise, she couldn't accept the fact that Lu Xingzhi hugged her again and again without knowing that the oiran was her.

Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and insisted: "Answer me first."

Seeing the serious look on her face, Lu Xingzhi paused and said truthfully, "I found out it was you as early as when you punished yourself for drinking."

Qiao Jingjing was stunned, had he discovered it was her so early?

She remembered that Lu Xingzhi's change of attitude towards her and his intimate behavior were indeed after she punished herself for drinking. If that was the case, wouldn't she have misunderstood him?
Thinking of this, the depression in her heart dissipated, replaced by embarrassment.

Before she could figure out the matter, she wronged him and scolded him so harshly in her heart.

She coughed lightly, pulled the veil, and whispered: "I, I was worried about you, so I got into the brothel."

"Worried about me?" Lu Xingzhi was stunned.

"Yeah." Qiao Jingjing nodded, and when she talked about this, she said with an unhappy face, "You also lied to me and said that Chunfeng Tower is a restaurant. Fortunately, I went back and asked someone to inquire, and I found out that Chunfeng Tower is a brothel."

Lu Xingzhi paused for a moment, his handsome face flashed slightly, and he apologized: "It's my fault."

Seeing that he admitted his mistake, Qiao Jingjing became more confident and asked, "Why did you lie to me? Did you originally plan to go there to fool around? You recognized me later, so you deliberately restrained yourself?"

Lu Xingzhi frowned, "I didn't mean to lie to you, I just think there's nothing to say in a place like that."

"This is obviously your excuse." Qiao Jingjing looked angry.

Lu Xingzhi paused, then said in a serious tone: "Although you said you went to Chunfeng Tower because you were worried about me, your approach is really reckless. Besides, as a woman, how can you go to that kind of place? What should I do if something goes wrong?”

Qiao Jingjing's high arrogance suddenly faded, and she whispered: "Do you think I want to go? If I weren't worried about you and gave me money, I wouldn't even want to go."

"Really?" Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, and suddenly took out a purse from his sleeve, "I gave you money, but you're not willing to go, so what is this?"

Qiao Jingjing looked at the purse in his hand suspiciously and asked, "What is it?"

"When I came out just now, the Madam at Chunfeng Tower asked me to hand it over to you. I saw it and it was a banknote. So, madam, can you explain why the Madam gave you the banknote? Did you make some kind of deal? ?" Lu Xingzhi looked at her sharply.

Qiao Jingjing's heart skipped a beat, thinking that this guy was really sharp and could guess all these things.

But of course she couldn't admit it.

"What kind of deal can I do with that madam? My husband is overthinking."

"Since it's not a transaction, I will confiscate the two thousand taels of silver notes." After Lu Xingzhi said that, he took the banknotes out of his wallet and stuffed them into his waistband.

Qiao Jingjing swallowed.

That's her two thousand taels...

Lu Xingzhi glanced at her, threw his purse to her, then leaned against the car wall and closed his eyes, "I want to take a rest, madam, please don't disturb me."

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She clenched the purse in her hand and cursed: Is this guy a robber?
She was extremely depressed.

But when she turned around and saw the man with his eyes closed, her heart moved.

He stayed up all night and drank a lot of wine. She would take the banknote back while he was asleep later.

Thinking about it, she calmed down.

She said no more, but kept staring at Lu Xingzhi.

After a while, she tentatively called out, "Husband?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, she concluded that he was asleep.

But to be on the safe side, she didn't act immediately.

After a while, she asked tentatively, "Husband, are you asleep?"

Lu Xingzhi still didn't respond.

Qiao Jingjing felt relieved, stood up and walked towards him.

When she reached him, she bent down and stretched her hands to his waist.

They were about to hit each other, but at this moment, the carriage suddenly jolted.

She was unprepared, and with a soft cry, she threw herself into Lu Xingzhi's arms.

Qiao Jingjing froze, then slowly raised her eyes, and saw that the man had opened his eyes and was looking at her.
