Chapter 65: Ears Are Red Again
"My lady told me to ask you to get up." Bai Zhi looked at the anger on Lu Qiaoxiao's face and laughed secretly in her heart.
As soon as the young lady returned to the Marquis' Mansion, her behavior unconsciously relaxed and she even acted like a virtuous mistress.
Back at the Lu Mansion, she was at best considered a spoiled daughter.
Oh, if you include the wife, then they are a shrewish mother and daughter.
Ever since bringing his wife back from Qingcheng Mountain, the Marquis's attitude towards his wife and daughter has become many times better than before.
Sometimes, it even seems like a deliberate attempt to please.
On the contrary, the one from Xiu Yue Tower rarely even goes out these days, let alone flaunts her charm in the mansion.
When Lu Qiaoxiao arrived at the front hall, Qiao Lin was talking to Shen Yuheng. No one knew what they were talking about, but they were both smiling from ear to ear.
Lu Yong was standing aside, a respectful and fearful smile on his face.
It was such a harmonious scene, but Lu Qiaoxiao was a little scared.
Normally, the mother-in-law and Shen Yuheng would never talk so closely. Her good mother almost grabbed Shen Yuheng's sleeves with her hands.
It was only in this life that she found out that Shen Yuheng had a severe obsession with mysophobia.
When the weather is hot, he can insist on taking a bath twice a day, changing three sets of clothes, and not letting any dust get on his body.
So when she saw her good mother's fingers about to touch Shen Yuheng's moon-white sleeves, she was scared.
Her mother knew at a glance that the medicine had just been prescribed by Doctor Xiao and she had gotten a dirty hand.
"Qiao Qiao is here! Come and sit down!" Qiao Lin followed Shen Yuheng's gaze and saw her daughter standing at the door with a terrified look on her face.
She was still muttering in her heart: Maybe she was really unhappy that this lazy girl was woken up so early in the morning.
"Yingchun, ask the kitchen to bring breakfast up." Qiao Lin ordered, her tone sounding like the head of the family.
While Yingchun agreed, she also secretly glanced at the Marquis who was sitting silently on the side.
His gaze rested on his wife, filled with indescribable resentment and tenderness.
When Yingchun went out, she secretly sighed in her heart, it has been so long, and the Marquis is still not used to his wife being the boss?
Ever since the Madam took charge of all matters at home, everyone in the house has been full of energy.
In the past, the Marquis did not take care of household affairs, and all matters were handled by Concubine Wang of Xiu Yue Tower. Concubine Wang came from a humble family and loved to form cliques.
Many of her subordinates disliked her behavior but dared not say anything. Which mistress would make such a small profit from purchasing?
Mrs. Qiao is an open-minded person. She is frank in what she does and says. She treats her subordinates with clear rewards and punishments and never shows partiality.
Working with a master like this, you will feel confident when you go out.
Seeing his daughter at the table, Lu Yong took the opportunity to say a few words. Qiao Lin was such a talkative woman! He couldn't even find a chance to talk to his good son-in-law.
"My dear son-in-law, how about the thing I told you last time?" Lu Yong's meaningful glance made Qiao Lin and Lu Qiaoxiao look at him with confusion.
Shen Yuheng pursed his lips and smiled slightly, saying, "I've found a good job for my father-in-law."
"What?" Lu Yong looked at him expectantly, as if he was looking at a money tree.
"The Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Rites and Officials is in charge of matters related to education in the Imperial College. It can not only give full play to your ability in formulating educational policies and compiling rituals, but also keep you from being too busy." Shen Yuheng said as he placed a bowl of meat porridge in front of Lu Qiaoxiao.
Qiao Lin's face looked a little ugly. She couldn't stand this man who had no ability himself but still took advantage of his son-in-law's relationship.
Lu Qiaoxiao stirred the porridge with a spoon, not knowing what he was thinking. Even when Shen Yuheng's second brother came to see him, he would not show favoritism.
Now that her father had the audacity to ask for an official position, Shen Yuheng responded.
She wasn't afraid of anything else, she was just afraid that Lu Yong would fail to accomplish his goal and end up hurting others.
Two days ago, her grandmother wrote to her, saying that a group of rough men who claimed to be her father's friends had come to the mine in a mighty force and had been staying in the mountains for the past few days to survey the mountain's conditions.
Lu Qiaoxiao asked around in the capital, but she couldn't find out that her civil servant father had such a group of friends in the mining industry.
Anyway, she had a bad feeling in her heart, and it was definitely not a good thing.
Lu Yong grabbed a bun and took a bite. He was not very satisfied with the official position that his virtuous son-in-law had reserved for him.
His official position is only the sixth rank, which is totally unworthy of his status.
"Father-in-law, those who can enter the Ministry of Rites and Officials are all well-read and elegant people. If you can associate with such colleagues, I think your talents will be able to fully display."
Shen Yuheng glanced at Lu Yong's somewhat dull reaction and added this sentence.
Sure enough, Lu Yong's eyes lit up. Although this official position was not high, those who could enter it were all well-educated people. This was nothing more than an affirmation of his ability!
He nodded vigorously: "That's good, that's good!"
At this moment, Qiao Lin put down her chopsticks heavily and looked at Lu Yong with a slightly cold look in her eyes: "It's because your son-in-law is a good person that he found you such a position. You better act carefully and don't end up dragging your whole family down with you!"
Lu Yong felt embarrassed when he heard this. He pointed at Qiao Lin and said angrily, "Ignorant woman! Ignorant woman! Do you understand what elegance is? I can't reason with a woman like you!"
Lu Qiaoxiao raised her hand and pressed Lu Yong's hand down, acting as a peacemaker and saying, "Although what mother said was extreme, it does make sense. Daddy should still pay more attention."
Qiao Lin and Lu Yong each snorted, ate in silence, and stopped talking.
Lu Qiaoxiao suddenly felt someone looking at her inquiringly. When she followed the gaze, the person had already looked away.
However, the Prime Minister's ears turned red again.
Is it because the porridge is hot?
After breakfast, Lu Qiaoxiao was about to leave. Qiao Lin hugged her reluctantly and whispered in her daughter's ear, "Qiaoqiao, no matter what you do, be careful."
Lu Qiaoxiao looked up in surprise.
Mom - did you know something?
Although everything is different in this life, the tragic situation of the previous life still appears in her mind from time to time.
It made her afraid and painful.
Therefore, she dared not slack off in every step she took in this life, and could only proceed step by step with caution and determination.
"Let's go." A clear low call sounded in his ears. When Lu Qiaoxiao came to his senses, his hand had been naturally held.
She curled her lips slightly. Ever since they had physical contact, the interaction between them had become more and more intense.
It seems more natural.
She doesn't dislike these interactions, but instead feels some warmth in her heart.
In her previous life, whenever Pei Jinxuan took her and Lin Miaofu out, he always just held Lin Miaofu in his arms or held her hand.
The reason is that Lin Miaofu is weak, unlike Lu Qiaoxiao, who can eat and sleep well and has a body as strong as iron.
Lu Qiaoxiao felt a little bitter at first, but later on, he got used to it.
I don't care.
Sitting in the carriage, Lu Qiaoxiao lifted a corner of the curtain and saw the familiar street scene, but the situation was completely different...
"What are you thinking about?" The man's voice was cold but with a hint of probing affection.
The whispers always brought her back to her wedding night.
Prime Minister Shen, who was always calm and self-possessed, seemed to have never been full and wanted her like crazy.
