Chapter 293 What is his plan?

Qin Xiaoning returned to the house and waited for a long time but Lu Ji didn't come back, so she sent Sister Wang out to check what happened.

After a while, Sister Wang came back and reported to Qin Xiaoning: "The two are still arguing outside."

As long as there is no fight, it's fine.

Qin Xiaoning breathed a sigh of relief: "Forget it, don't worry about them, if they want to grind their teeth, let them do it."

Sister Wang curled her lips and said, "I originally thought that Lord Shen was a very sharp-tongued person."

Before she could finish, Song Zhi asked anxiously, "Why, Shen Qingshu never quarreled with the prince?"

"That's right." Sister Wang said, "I think Lord Shen is about to cry because of what the prince said. He looks so pitiful."

Songzhi laughed, then turned around and saw Lu Ji entering the inner courtyard, so he quickly went out through the back door and hid himself.

Lu Ji strode into the room. Qin Xiaoning looked up at him and said calmly, "Did you win the argument?"

Lu Ji didn't say a word. After entering the room, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp.

"Mr. Shen is in the wrong, so naturally I win." After finishing his tea, he looked at Qin Xiaoning and said this with a hint of pride on his face.

Qin Xiaoning snorted: "As expected of the regent, he has become more successful than before."

Lu Ji smiled awkwardly: "Why? Are you worried that I will beat him to a pulp?"

She said, "I am indeed afraid that you will hit someone."

Lu Ji snorted: "Since I can win the argument, there is no need for me to take action."

Finally, he added: "I am a military general. He is a weak scholar. It is not glorious to beat him."

"Come here." Qin Xiaoning said, "I want to talk to you."

Lu Ji pretended to be confused: "Whatever you want to say, it's not like I can't hear you."

Seeing that he was unwilling to come over, Qin Xiaoning stood up and pushed him into the chair, then sat down opposite him: "There is really nothing between Shen Qingshu and me. I just met him here by chance. He helped me buy a house, so I am kind enough to do him a favor. Please don't make things difficult for him, okay?"

When Lu Ji heard this, his face darkened slightly.

"Are you pleading for him?" he asked.

Qin Xiaoning knew Lu Ji too well. Even though he appeared calm on the surface since he came to her yesterday, he must be unable to swallow this humiliation in his heart.

Her leaving without permission had already touched his sore spot, but he was concerned that she was pregnant, so he didn't want to blame her. Now Shen Qingshu had walked into the trap himself, and with Lu Ji's domineering personality, there was a high probability that he would not let him go.

Although Qin Xiaoning did not have any romantic feelings for Shen Qingshu, she still had friendship for him.

Shen Qingshu has a kind personality and has helped her many times. Qin Xiaoning doesn't want to cause trouble for him because of herself.

"It's not like I'm begging for mercy for him." She said, "I just think he came from a poor family and it's not easy for him to have the fame he has today. After I came to Shuwang, I asked him to do things for me. If you are angry with him because of me, I will naturally feel uneasy."

Lu Ji was amused when he heard this: "How could I embarrass him? It's just that he shamelessly thought about my woman, so I gave him a few words of advice."

Qin Xiaoning said: "Then don't make things difficult for him in his career, okay?"

After hearing this, Lu Ji said nothing, but just glanced at Qin Xiaoning leisurely.

She continued, "You are now the regent with great power. If you ruin someone's career because of personal grudges, you will be criticized."

Lu Ji raised his hand and touched Qin Xiaoning's head: "You know that I am the regent now? How did you know?"

She replied: "I read the newspaper."

And with a hint of flattery: "Although I left you, I have always been concerned about your situation."

Qin Xiaoning didn't know what Lu Ji was planning for her. Was he going to take her back to the mansion?
She was pregnant with Lu's child, so he would definitely not allow his child to be left alone.

But if he took her back, how would he accommodate himself?

Or be a concubine?

He is now in power and has the ability to establish himself as the principal wife, but I don't know how his relationship with Wang Fengyi has been going during the time she was away.

The daughter of Wang family of Langya is of noble status. Even if Lu Ji has this idea, Wang Fengyi will not be willing to give up the position of Regent Princess.

Besides, she didn't know whether Lu Ji was still as devoted to her as before. After all, she had abandoned him, and he might be holding a grudge against her.

This guy is not an easy person to deal with, but he has a temper.

"Read the court newspaper?" Lu Ji murmured and repeated her words, and then asked: "What else did you see?"

Qin Xiaoning blinked and said, "I have carefully read the many decrees you issued after becoming regent."

"Those reform measures are very good, and the common people all praise your reputation."

The last sentence still has the meaning of pleasing men.

Now she is not alone anymore, she is pregnant. Even if she doesn't think about herself, she will think about her child.

After all, there is a huge difference between a legitimate child and a concubine's child.

Seeing that the man didn't react, Qin Xiaoning forced a smile at him: "I didn't expect that you would defeat the Jiang family and the late emperor so quickly and ascend to this position as you wished."

Lu Ji raised his eyes and glanced at her, still expressionless: "Didn't I tell you long ago that it won't take long."

In the past, he did promise her that he would let her wait, and that he would reach the top one day and give her the best.

The best thing is naturally the status of the legal wife.

Unfortunately, she didn't wait.

To this day, Qin Xiaoning still has no idea what the man is planning. It is almost autumn now, and counting the days, it will be his wedding date with Wang Fengyi in more than two months.

Will he really marry that woman?

In fact, this was what Qin Xiaoning wanted to ask the most, but when she glanced at the man's lukewarm look, she really couldn't ask.

Since she had cruelly abandoned him in the past, and now that he has achieved great success, how could she have the face to fight for herself?

Lu Ji looked at her calmly, but asked, "What do you want to ask me?"

When these words came out, Qin Xiaoning couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

She was afraid that the man would see through her thoughts.

She has to have some shame!

"No, nothing." She answered stutteringly. Seeing the man staring at her, Qin Xiaoning cleared her throat and asked calmly, "Is everything okay at home?"

Lu Ji looked at her and asked, "What do you mean?"

She half lowered her head and dared not look at him, humming like a mosquito, "Of course it's all aspects, the Duke's wife, the eldest grandmother, and the fifth and sixth girls, those who have been kind to me, I naturally remember them in my heart."

Lu Ji hummed and laughed: "He is a man of loyalty and righteousness."

As he spoke, he picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and said casually, "Everyone is fine, but the mansion is very busy these days."

He paused, glancing at the little woman's face, "My king's wedding is coming up, so everyone will be busy."
