After marrying a powerful minister, the female partner was pampered

A rare look of confusion appeared on Lu Xingzhi's handsome face.

The doctor saw that everyone in the room was looking at him in confusion, and also saw that Qiao Jingjing looked guilty. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should say it or not.

"Doctor, please say something. Is my daughter-in-law pregnant?" Mother Lu reacted and asked urgently.

The doctor finally nodded, "Yes, your daughter-in-law has been pregnant for more than a month."

Everyone in the room was overjoyed when they received the doctor's affirmative answer.

Especially Mother Lu, she was so excited and happy that she almost fainted, fortunately Father Lu supported her.

After recovering from her shock, Mother Lu suddenly became nervous and worried again, "Doctor, is my daughter-in-law okay? She was injured just now..."

"Don't worry, your daughter-in-law is in good health and there's no problem. I'll prescribe a prescription for you to help her maintain the pregnancy later." The doctor said with a smile.

"Thank you, doctor. Thank you, doctor." Mother Lu was so happy that she was incoherent.

After the doctor went down to write the prescription, she pushed away Lu Xingzhi who was sitting blankly beside the bed, sat down on the bed, and held Qiao Jingjing's hand. She said with mixed feelings: "Jingjing, you are really a great contributor to our Lu family. I was worried before, thinking that Ah Xing..."

She didn't say what she thought of Lu Xingzhi, but Qiao Jingjing understood what she meant.

This is because Lu Xingzhi is not capable.

Qiao Jingjing: "..."

She couldn't help but secretly glance at Lu Xingzhi, and saw that the man's face was a little dark, and he obviously understood the implication of Lu's mother's words.

Seeing her son looking at her with dissatisfaction, Mother Lu said awkwardly, "I misunderstood you."

"Congratulations, brother, congratulations to sister-in-law." Lu Shuangshuang congratulated with a smile.

Today was really exciting, sometimes frightening, sometimes surprising.

She felt like her heart couldn't take it anymore.

Father Lu laughed out loud with joy, "Haha, I'm going to be a grandfather."

Mother Lu gave him a glare and said, "You are already old, can't you be more stable?"

"I don't know who it was just now. I was so happy that I almost fainted." Father Lu snorted coldly and said unceremoniously.

Mother Lu choked, but didn't say anything else. Instead, she took Qiao Jingjing's hand and reminded her, "You are a pregnant woman now, so you must pay more attention to rest."

"Mom, I will." Qiao Jingjing responded obediently.

Mother Lu was so happy that she didn't know what to do.

Considering that Qiao Jingjing was injured, the few people did not want to disturb her rest, so they said a few more words and then left.

After the room quieted down, Qiao Jingjing felt a dull pain in her wound.

There were so many people around just now and her attention was distracted, so she didn't feel anything. But now that it was quiet, the pain became more obvious.

She couldn't help but moan.

As soon as Lu Xingzhi brought the medicine back, he saw her face full of pain and he felt pain in his heart.

He placed the medicine bowl on the small table in front of the bed, avoiding her wound, and held her in his arms, saying softly, "Cry it out, maybe you'll feel better."

Hearing this, the tears that had been welling up in Qiao Jingjing's eyes suddenly fell down.

"I won't cry if you lie to me." Her voice was choked.

Lu Xingzhi was anxious and helpless, and patted her back gently, "Then take the medicine first, it should be able to relieve some of the pain."

"Okay." Qiao Jingjing nodded.

Lu Xingzhi let go of her and just picked up the medicine bowl to feed her, but she snatched it away and said, "I can do it myself."

As she said this, she held her breath and drank the medicine in one breath.

A bitter taste spread in the mouth, and the wound seemed to be less painful.

Lu Xingzhi fed her a candied fruit and helped her lie down.

The sweetness of the candied fruit dispelled the bitterness in her mouth. Qiao Jingjing felt better. She turned to look at the man who tucked the quilt for her. She calmed down and said softly, "Lu Xingzhi, you're going to be a father." "Well, congratulations on becoming a mother." Lu Xingzhi smiled and bent down to kiss her on the forehead.

Seeing the uncontrollable joy in the man's eyes, Qiao Jingjing also laughed.

Earlier, when the man heard the doctor say that she was pregnant, he was stunned for a moment and then had no other reaction.

Compared to the excitement of Lu's mother and the others, he seemed too calm and indifferent.

I didn't expect that this man was just pretending to be calm. He must be very happy in his heart.

Thinking of this, she took his hand and carefully placed it on her abdomen.

Lu Xingzhi paused, his long fingers trembled slightly, and his expression was a little strange.

Her belly was still flat, but it was pregnant with their children.

"Thank you for your hard work, ma'am." He lowered his head and touched her face, which was pale due to bleeding.

"The hard work is yet to come." Thinking of the pain of giving birth, Qiao Jingjing smiled reluctantly, and her original joy was diluted.

"I'll stay with you." Lu Xingzhi said gently, "You should get some sleep first."

Qiao Jingjing was indeed tired, but she was able to hold on until now because she was worried about the baby in her belly.

Now that she was sure that the child was fine, she finally relaxed and closed her eyes to sleep.

But because of the pain in the wound, she couldn't sleep well and her brows were always furrowed.

Lu Xingzhi patted her back gently, feeling relieved that she was only injured and nothing else happened.

After an unknown amount of time, Qiao Jingjing's frown relaxed and he felt slightly relieved.

He tucked the quilt in for her again, then stood up and walked out.

Chongxi was already waiting outside the courtyard.

When he saw him coming out, he immediately stepped forward and reported: "Sir, the little beggar has been sent to the government. After the coroner's examination, the little beggar is not a child, but a dwarf. Her face is also disfigured. Her true appearance is extremely ugly."

Lu Xingzhi nodded and asked, "Have you found out what its origin is?"

"It should be the same group of killers who tried to assassinate the lady last time. Lin Jiu is still investigating the details." Chongxi replied.

After hearing this, Lu Xingzhi didn't ask any more questions.

It was obvious that the little beggar was someone that Yu had found before. He had been lurking in Lu's mansion, waiting for an opportunity to assassinate Jingjing.

This time he was careless, which allowed her to take advantage of him.

Fortunately, Jingjing was smart, otherwise...

He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and ordered in a deep voice: "Check the whole house carefully. If there are any suspicious people, there is no need to interrogate them, just drive them out of the house."

Chongxi was startled. Is your Excellency worried that there are assassins lurking in the mansion?

"I'll go right away." He responded respectfully.

As soon as Chongxi went down, Lu Xingyan hurried over.

As soon as he returned home, he heard that his sister-in-law was stabbed by the little beggar he brought back last time.

After he walked in front of his brother, he lowered his head with a look of guilt and self-blame on his face, "Brother, this time it was me who let the wolf into the house and almost harmed my sister-in-law. Please punish me, brother."

Looking at his brother who looked remorseful, Lu Xingzhi was indeed angry.

Just because of his unnecessary kindness, Jingjing was brought to death.

"Go and receive ten lashes yourself!" he said in a low voice.

"Yes." Lu Xingyan didn't dare to object and even breathed a sigh of relief.

When he heard that his sister-in-law was assassinated by that little beggar, he was worried to death. Fortunately, his sister-in-law was fine.

Only ten lashes, that's what he deserves. (End of this chapter)
