After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

Chapter 324 He is taking advantage of you
Hearing this, Qiao Jingjing smiled and looked at him with bright eyes, "Do you think this method is feasible?"

Qin Xuan was about to nod, but he saw the sky darken and Lu Xingzhi squeezed in between the two of them.

He held Qiao Jingjing's hand and said to Qin Xuan, "It's almost dawn. Everyone must be tired. Let's go and rest first. If there is anything, we can talk about it after dawn."

Qin Xuan was stunned.

Why did he feel that the other party seemed dissatisfied with him?

Why is this again?
At this time, Xiahou Xi touched his chin and suddenly said, "Qin Xuan, who was born first, you or my sister-in-law? I forgot to ask Yu just now."

After he mentioned it, Qin Xuan looked at Qiao Jingjing expectantly.

She had just admitted that she and he were siblings, biological siblings with the same father and mother.

Qin Xuan was excited, but he looked at Qiao Jingjing nervously, "I think I should be better than you..."

"No, I was definitely born before you, so you have to call me sister." Qiao Jingjing interrupted him.

Qin Xuan heard this and said with a smile: "How can you be so sure? I thought that I was born first, so you should call me brother."

Xiahou Xi looked at Lu Xingzhi with interest, "What do you think, Old Lu?"

Lu Xingzhi glanced at him. How could he not know his bad taste?
He said slowly, "I agree with Jingjing. Jingjing must have been born before Qin Xuan. After all, Yu wanted to kill Jingjing back then. If Qin Xuan was born first, Yu would never have given Jingjing a chance to be born."

Qin Xuan frowned, but still agreed with what he said, "You have some truth in what you said."

Hearing this, Xiahou Xi said angrily, "You believed his lies? You were supposed to be the elder brother-in-law, but if you agree with him, you will become the younger brother-in-law. I think he clearly doesn't want to call you the elder brother-in-law."

Hearing this, Qin Xuan looked at Lu Xingzhi suspiciously.

The veins on Lu Xingzhi's forehead jumped. He glanced at Xiahou Xi calmly and said to Qin Xuan, "You and Jingjing were born on the same day. I don't think it matters who is the older brother and who is the older sister. What matters is that you two recognize each other, right?"

After hearing this, Qin Xuan stopped worrying about who was born first and nodded, "You're right. The most important thing is that Jingjing and I can recognize each other."

"You've been tired all day, go and rest early." Lu Xingzhi patted his shoulder and took Qiao Jingjing away.

After the couple left, Qin Xuan was about to take a rest, but was stopped by Xiahou Xi. He said with regret, "I believe you are the elder brother, so don't be fooled by Lu Xingzhi."

Qin Xuan pulled his hand away and said nonchalantly, "I don't care whether Jingjing calls me brother or not. What's important is that she and I are born from the same father and mother. We are a family."

Seeing that he had been brainwashed by Lu Xingzhi, Xiahou Xi said unwillingly, "But if you follow what Lu Xingzhi said, you have to call him brother-in-law. He is taking advantage of you, do you know that?"

Qin Xuan looked at him strangely, "What does that matter? He is a few years older than me. If he wants to call me brother, I will not be used to it."

Xia Houxi: "..."

Qin Xuan paused and looked at him suspiciously, "Are you jealous of Lu Xingzhi?"

"Why should I be jealous of him?" Xiahou Xi laughed twice as if he had heard a huge joke.

"I remember that you are about the same age as Lu Xingzhi. He has already married, but you haven't found a wife yet. Lu Xingzhi might become a father soon. Seeing others living such a happy life, you feel jealous and unbalanced, so you want to make him unhappy." Qin Xuan said affirmatively.

Xiahou Xi's mouth twitched, and he said uncomfortably: "How can I be so narrow-minded? Don't judge others by your own standards."

Qin Xuan patted his shoulder and said, "That's good."

Xia Houxi: "..."

……

It wasn't long before daybreak.

Because Lu Xingzhi and others had to rush back to attend court, they got up early and returned to the city.

However, on the return journey, Qiao Jingjing did not see Duke Qin and Prime Minister Yu.

After Duke Qin took Yu away last night, Prime Minister Yu also left with him. No one knows where he went.
If possible, Qiao Jingjing hoped that Duke Qin would not kill Yu so early. She wanted the Yu family to do it themselves.

Being abandoned by the parents who have always loved him is the cruelest revenge for him.

Just like Ruan Baozhu, who was drowned in a pond by her own family.

She had a plan in mind, and after returning to the city, she followed Qin Xuan to the Duke Qin's Mansion.

……

In the dark room, Nanny Fang was covered in wounds and was still sleeping.

Suddenly, the sound of a whip cutting the air was heard, accompanied by a scream, and she suddenly woke up.

The light in the dark room was dim, and she could vaguely see a person tied up not far away.

"Madam, I hope you won't embarrass me. Explain the matter clearly so that I can avoid this physical pain. Miss Yue'er, this is the bastard you gave birth to with that man last night, right?
The Duke said that as long as you tell him the name of your lover, he will spare your life and will not hold you accountable for deceiving him for so many years."

The person who spoke had an awkward tone.

Nanny Fang immediately recognized that it was Leng Yi who spoke.

She was horrified.

Why was the lady also tied up?

And what Leng Yi said...

"Ma'am, is that you?" she asked in a trembling voice.

On the day Yu was divorced, she hit her head against the wall and passed out. Naturally, she didn't know that Yu was divorced and was taken back to Yu's home by Prime Minister Yu.

In response to her, she heard a voice full of pain, "Mammy Fang... Mammy... I, I'm in so much pain..."

Nanny Fang had already determined that the person opposite was Yu. When she heard her painful voice, her heart was in tatters. She shouted at Leng Yi, "You dog slave, you are so bold that you dare to torture Madam. Aren't you afraid that the Duke will hold you accountable?"

Leng Yi turned his head and glanced at her, then said with a smile: "Madame Fang can't even protect herself, yet she still has the energy to feel sorry for Yu, the slut.

As Yu's personal maid, don't you know that Yu cheated on the Duke and gave birth to Qin Yue'er, a bastard?

The Duke was magnanimous in not beating Yu to death on the spot, but Yu still cared about her lover and refused to reveal his name.

The Duke has only given me half an hour to interrogate her. If Yu is stubborn and still refuses to reveal who her lover is, the Duke will no longer care about the love we have had for more than a decade."

Nanny Fang was shocked and angry at first, and then horrified.

Leng Yi, a guard, actually dared to insult the Madam as a slut, and even swore that the Madam had cheated on him and that Miss Yue'er was a bastard. Could it be that the Duke already knew about everything the Madam had done?
Nanny Fang was shocked and frightened. For a moment, she felt dizzy and confused.

I don't understand how things turned out like this.

That day, the Duke stormed into the Madam's room in a rage. He was clearly questioning her about how she had cheated on him, but why did he bring up the matter of her lover now?

Could it be that the Duke discovered something?
"Madam Fang, the Duke actually didn't want to hurt Madam. After all, they are husband and wife. But Madam is stupid. She didn't know how to take the opportunity given by the Duke. Why should she suffer so much for her lover? It's really not worth it."

Nanny Fang was startled and looked up, only to find that Leng Yi had walked up to her without her noticing, holding a bloody whip in his hand and looking at her with a distressed expression.

Nanny Fang's heart was moved, "The Duke won't pursue the Madam's fault?"

Leng Yi shook his head, "After being married for more than ten years, the Duke finally softened his heart. It's a pity that the Madam is stupid and doesn't even know how to back down when given the chance."

"Yan Liang." Nanny Fang stared at him and said suddenly.

"What?" Leng was stunned.

"I'm talking about that man, his name is Yan Liang." Nanny Fang repeated.
