Chapter 371 Sure enough, you are suitable
Qiao Jingru's expression froze slightly: "Yeah."
Mrs. Qiao was half-believing and half-doubting: "Why do I feel that it is not the case? According to what I know, the mistress is missing, which shows that Lu Chao has nothing to do with her. When he left the Lu family with his mistress, you were unwilling to divorce him. Why are you determined to divorce him now that he has broken up with his mistress?"
Qiao Jingru felt uneasy when she saw her mother's gaze and hesitated for a long time.
"Have you thought of an excuse?" Mrs. Qiao asked.
Qiao Jingru blurted out: "Not yet... No, Mom, I just haven't figured out how to tell you."
Mrs. Qiao gave her a look and said, "Say whatever you want."
Qiao Jingru choked and suddenly realized that she was not easy to fool.
She said stubbornly, "I just don't accept it. Who knows why the mistress disappeared? Lu Chao felt that Rong Yin had abandoned him, so he came back to me out of sadness. Should I forgive him if he was wrong? Then what have I become?"
Well, that's it.
Mrs. Qiao frowned slightly: "Really?"
"More real than pearls." Qiao Jingru looked out the window and said absent-mindedly.
Even if Mrs. Qiao was not a worm in her stomach, she knew her daughter better than others. Seeing this, she frowned and fell into deep thought.
This is not a solution.
If his daughter decided to divorce, and Lu Chao nodded happily, then the two of them could break up cleanly.
But that’s not the case now.
Although his daughter wanted a divorce, it was obvious that she had not given up on Lu Chao, but Lu Chao was still reluctant to divorce her.
As long as Lu Chao disagrees, the two of them cannot truly divorce.
Repeated entanglement is of no benefit to either of them.
She had to find a way to find out what happened between the two of them.
Mrs. Qiao was lost in thought, while Qiao Jingru was staring out of the car in a trance.
In the evening, the Lu family celebrated Lu Xiang's birthday.
The night sky is high, and a shiny black color stretches across the sky like a ribbon.
In the Qixia Courtyard, the flowers in the yard are in full bloom, and the fragrance is floating in the air.
Lu Xiang sent the old lady back to Fuyuan Hall to help digest her food, and then took Ah Man back to his own courtyard.
In the flower hall, Yunzha and Wuyue were sorting out the gifts sent by the guests today, registering them and then putting them in the small warehouse. Seeing that they were very busy, Lu Xiang did not go in to make trouble. She turned and went to the warm room. Today, her sister-in-law brought her some new storybooks, and she went to take a look.
Ah Man slipped into the small kitchen to find something to eat.
Lu Xiang pushed the door open and saw Chu Jinyan lying on her couch, flipping through her storybook out of boredom.
"hiss!"
She gasped suddenly, turned around and slammed the door shut.
"Your Highness, why are you here again?"
What's the point of breaking into her boudoir as if no one is there?
When Chu Jinyan heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "You don't want to see me so much?"
Well!
Lu Xiang choked, and hurried over to smooth his hair with a smile: "Your Highness has misunderstood, we can't just look at the literal meaning."
Chu Jinyan glanced at her sideways, and the arrogant look on his face clearly said: Keep fooling me!
Lu Xiang gritted his teeth secretly and grinned, "Your Highness, you just heard it wrong. I clearly asked you why you came just now."
Chu Jinyan looked at Lu Xiang lying with his eyes open, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but shamefully his mood became elated because of Lu Xiang's obviously coaxing words.
It was eaten to death.
"Do you really think so?" He asked in a pretentious manner, but the smile in his eyes could not be hidden and was about to overflow.
Lu Xiang nodded her head like a chick pecking at rice: "Mm mmm mm... Today I am coming of age, and even the Queen asked Aunts Shaohua and Yunlu to come to watch the ceremony, but I didn't see Your Highness. I am so disappointed."
That's about right.
The smile on Chu Jinyan's face was about to ripple to the sky. He stretched out his long arms, pulled Lu Xiang into his arms, and touched her bun and the red jade hairpin in her hair lovingly with his big hands.
"It really suits you."
When Lu Xiang heard this, she showed a hint of surprise. She looked up at Chu Jinyan and asked, "Did you ask the queen to bring this hairpin?"
"Well, on your coming-of-age day, I wanted to personally tie your hair for you, but unfortunately I can't come. However, if you wear this hairpin, it will prove that you are mine. I begged my mother for a long time before she agreed."
Lu Xiang's heart skipped a beat.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her hair, a faint smile appeared on her lips, and she felt like she had eaten honey.
"But... didn't you already give me a jade hairpin?"
She had originally kept it at the bottom of her closet, but ever since she faced her feelings, she placed the jade hairpin in the most conspicuous spot on her dressing table. Even if she didn't wear it, she would look at it every day.
Chu Jinyan chuckled and said, "That's different. I carved it myself."
"No wonder the workmanship is a bit rough." Lu Xiang smiled and said, "But I like it very much. I like it the most."
With this kind of thoughtfulness, even if the sculpture is a weird one, it is unique in the world.
Besides, it's not bad, she did it on purpose.
Chu Jinyan was about to hum, but swallowed it back after hearing Lu Xiang's next words.
"This is rough, but the phoenix crown I'll make for you someday will be absolutely exquisite and beautiful." He pinched Lu Xiang's palm and laughed softly. His voice was low and mellow, intoxicating like strong liquor.
…
Mrs. Qiao shared her doubts with Mr. Qiao and her eldest and third sons.
The second son had to prepare for the autumn examination, and Mrs. Qiao didn't want to let her second son worry and be distracted at this critical juncture.
As for the fourth son, he ran away quietly not long ago. Needless to say, he was preparing to join the army at the border again. Mr. Qiao was busy catching his youngest son, so he didn't pay much attention to his daughter's emotions for a while.
"If my sister is really hiding something from us, Liangchen and Mother Ding know best what's going on around her." said the eldest brother Qiao Zhiyan.
Qiao Zeran curled his lips indifferently: "It's clear, but these two people have obviously been warned by the fifth sister not to reveal a single word. It's hard to pry anything out of their mouths."
Mrs. Qiao frowned when she heard this: "Go and call Liangchen and Mother Ding first."
Whether you can ask it or not, just ask it first.
As she said that, she asked Mother Wu to call for help.
Mother Wu avoided Qiao Jingru and called the two of them to the front yard.
When she saw several people sitting in the room who were obviously in a trial, Mother Ding knew what was going on, but she felt bitter. She wanted to have a good talk with the master and the mistress, but her master wouldn't allow it.
"Mother Ding, you have watched Ruer grow up since she was a child. Now that Ruer is in trouble, I, as her mother, know nothing. It may not be good for her if you keep it a secret for her." Mrs. Qiao looked at Mother Ding seriously and said.
Madam Ding knelt down and looked at Madam Qiao in embarrassment: "Madam, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's really that the Fifth Miss has said something cruel and doesn't allow me to reveal a single word."
