Chapter 311 Can't You Talk to Me Properly?

Qin Xiaoning cleared her throat again and reminded him directly: "I think we should sleep separately from now on. It's not good to be so entangled."

As soon as Qin Xiaoning said this, Lu Ji's expression changed again and again. He stared at Qin Xiaoning with his deep eyes, which were full of resentment.

It can be seen that he is trying hard to suppress his anger.

This was because she was pregnant. Otherwise, based on Qin Xiaoning's understanding of men, if he was so angry, he would probably slap her twice to vent his anger.

Anyway, he didn't dare to do anything to her, so Qin Xiaoning felt a little fearless.

"What? Am I wrong?" She blinked her watery eyes and looked at Lu Ji, with a little gloating on her face: "What I said is serious and reasonable."

Seeing that the man was still staring at him without saying anything, the little woman smiled disdainfully: "Since you also agree with this, do as I say from now on. Let's set a clear boundary."

Lu Ji's face showed an expression of intolerance. He tried to calm himself down for a long time, and finally let out a cold sigh.

"You're right. Everything you said makes sense." He looked at Qin Xiaoning, his tone cold and helpless: "Qin Xiaoning, you really haven't changed at all."

Hearing this, the little woman looked at Lu Ji with confusion in her eyes.

Just as she was trying to figure out what he meant, Lu Ji had already turned around and walked out the door.

The tall figure exuded anger, and a cool breeze came with him when he walked. When he passed by the door, the door curtain fluttered along with it.

It seems that he is very angry.

If she wants to be angry, then she is angry. She doesn't care.

Isn't it just that he has ascended to a high position and feels that she is not worthy of him, so he wants to marry a lady from a noble family. But he can't completely let her go, or maybe he is unwilling to give up and wants to keep her by his side as a concubine.

Wow! How self-centered!

The plan was a good one, but unfortunately, she was no longer the little orphan who could be manipulated by others.

She has her own house, her calligraphy can be sold for money, she can also teach students, and the small snack shop that Shu Wang invested in also has revenue. She now has plenty of means and abilities to make money, so why should she become someone's concubine?

Is she cheap?
Qin Xiaoning stood at the door, glanced at Lu Ji's angrily leaving back, and snorted coldly in the direction he was going.

She then stepped out of the room. Songzhi was playing in the back garden with two maids. When they saw Qin Xiaoning coming out, the maids hurriedly gathered around.

"My lady, this garden is so well maintained, and the flowers are so beautiful. We have never seen them before."

"Such a beautiful garden, why doesn't anyone come to visit?"

This is an official inn. The place where they live is a residence specially for royal relatives and top dignitaries to stay. Naturally, not everyone can enter.

Listening to the chattering of the maids, Qin Xiaoning smiled and said, "If you like, feel free to walk around here. If you need anything, don't be polite. Just ask someone to ask the postmaster for it."

She worked hard to carry the Regent's child, so it was only right for her to ask for some benefits for her subordinates.

As soon as Qin Xiaoning finished speaking, she heard a flattering voice behind her: "Madam, you are here. I was looking for you."

It turned out to be the postmaster.

He came forward with several maids holding various items, bowed respectfully to Qin Xiaoning, and said with a smile: "Madam, I am here to give you something."

As he said this, he ordered several maids to come forward, and the postmaster said in a rambling voice: "These are the specialties of our place. I specially brought them to you. I hope you don't mind."

Following the words of the postmaster, the maids brought the trays in front of Qin Xiaoning. Pearl necklaces, agate hairpins, jade and glass bracelets were all piled high on the trays, shining brightly.

Qin Xiaoning glanced at them, then turned to the postmaster and said calmly, "No merit, no reward. I can't accept these."

"Madam, you are not giving me face." Seeing that Qin Xiaoning refused to accept it, the postmaster simply knelt down and said, "I have no other intentions. I just want to show my filial piety to you. Please don't despise me, Madam."

There are people who actually beg others to accept gifts.

"I don't want it." Qin Xiaoning said, "If you want to give it to me, give it to the prince."

The postmaster rolled his eyes and said, "Then I will order them to take it to your room. When the prince comes back, I only ask Madam to tell him."

The moon was above the willows. Qin Xiaoning had just come out of the bathroom. When she looked up, she saw Lu Ji sitting on a chair, staring at the jewellery that the postmaster had given her.

Seeing her come out, the man spoke coldly and asked, "Who sent this?"

Qin Xiaoning twisted her hair with a dry towel and said, "The postmaster gave it to me."

The little woman looked indifferent and didn't take Lu Ji seriously at all.

The man said coldly: "Come here."

There was a sense of pressure in his tone.

If it were in the past, Qin Xiaoning would have been scared when she saw a man like this, but now, she was not afraid.

She was not his concubine, and she didn't need him to support her. There was no need to scare him, and even less to listen to him.

"What are you doing?" She didn't move, just sat in front of the dressing table and fixed her hair. When she heard the voice, she just glanced at the man through the mirror, then snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, just say it. This is my room. Don't be so cold to me here."

Lu Ji was choked.

After a long pause, he sighed heavily: "A Ning, can't you just talk to me nicely?"

There was helplessness in his tone.

The little woman put the horn comb on the dressing table with a "click", turned around to look at the man, and replied coldly: "You were the one who didn't speak to me properly first."

Lu Ji was choked again.

He calmed himself down for a long time, and when he spoke again, his voice was finally calm. He asked, "Who gave you these things?"

He looked at Qin Xiaoning and explained to her: "You should know that I am in a high position now, and many people come to curry favor with me, but I am not a regent for corruption and bribery." After a pause, he continued: "You are my woman, and you must explain to me when others give you gifts."

Seeing that he had a good attitude, Qin Xiaoning finally spoke to him properly.

"It was sent by the postmaster, but it was not sent to me. It was sent to you. He just ordered someone to send it to my room. If you feel it is inappropriate, just order someone to send it back to him."

Hearing this, Lu Ji casually picked up a piece of jewelry and asked, "Do you like these?"

Qin Xiaoning said casually: "No woman can refuse jewelry."

After saying that, she turned around and continued to comb her hair, no longer paying attention to Lu Ji.

The man walked over, stood beside her, and looked down at her: "If you like it, I will have someone make you a better one when we get to the capital."

As he spoke, he placed his big hand on her shoulder and said in a gentle tone, "You are my woman. If you accept this bribe, it means that I have tacitly agreed to this practice. This is not good."
