Chapter 380 Lu Ji is jealous
After being scolded by his young wife, Lu Ji finally calmed down. He asked his young wife, "How do you think I should deal with this?"
"Are you going to hand over the power in your hands immediately?" Lu Ji said.
Qin Xiaoning said directly: "Of course it can't be handed over."
The man looked at his wife leisurely, like an old teacher who likes to test his students. He asked, "What do you mean?"
The little woman replied, "As the saying goes, 'When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away.' If you hand over the power immediately, there will be no place for you to stay. Besides, I don't think the new emperor is a kind person. I'm afraid he is already afraid of you. If you don't hand over the power, they can't do anything to you. Once you hand over the power, they will definitely kill you."
Lu Ji smiled faintly: "You little thing, you really see things clearly."
Qin Xiaoning sighed slightly and said to Lu Ji, "I met Xian'er in the palace today. She just entered the palace. I saw that she was like a different person. She was no longer as innocent and lively as before. She looked like she had a lot on her mind. It was heartbreaking to see her."
After hearing this, Lu Ji frowned deeply: "Pan'er is Zhao Che's blood after all, she is probably a heartless person."
Then he sighed, "I am also worried that Xian'er will have a hard time in the palace in the future."
"Xian'er is a likable girl. If the new emperor doesn't like her, it's probably because she's from the Lu family." Qin Xiaoning sighed, with a look of sorrow on her face. She held Lu Ji's hand and said, "If the new emperor is really so afraid of the Lu family, Lu Ji, I'm really worried about your safety."
Lu Ji was happy, as if all the difficulties he faced were not worth mentioning.
He looked at his wife, and resumed his mischievous tone. He pinched her chin and said, "There is nothing in this world that can stump me. As long as you can stay by my side peacefully and don't always make trouble and run around, I'm not afraid of anything."
Bringing up old issues again.
Qin Xiaoning rolled her eyes at him and said, "Now that I am your legal wife and will bear your child, where else can I run to?"
"Who knows?" The man hummed, "What if I accidentally offend you again one day? Who knows if you will turn hostile again? You still have a house in Qianzhou, right?"
The man glared at his young wife with a sharp look in his eyes: "Before, you dared to run away when you had no place to stay. Now that you have a way out, I'm afraid you will be even more unscrupulous."
The young couple was grinding their teeth in the carriage when they heard the driver shouting and the carriage suddenly stopped. Lu Ji was puzzled and raised his hand to lift the curtain and called to the driver, "What's going on?"
The driver turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I met an old friend of the princess."
As he was talking, a man in a dark brocade robe came over from the front of the car. When he came close, he clasped his fists towards Lu Ji and said, "My Lord, how are you?"
It was Mr. Wei from Qianzhou.
Lu Ji's face suddenly darkened.
Seeing that it was an old friend, Qin Xiaoning got off the carriage by herself, holding the shaft, and greeted Mr. Wei, "Are you in the capital to do business again?"
Master Wei smiled and replied, "I want to open a few medicine shops here."
As he spoke, he smiled and explained to Qin Xiaoning, "It's a joint venture with Doctor Jiang and his wife. I provide the money and they provide the doctors."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed towards West Street: "The shop has been renovated. It's over there. It will open in a few days."
Qin Xiaoning was surprised when she heard this: "Ms. Jiang has also come to the capital?" "She will come after the medicine shop opens." Master Wei said: "The clinic in Qianzhou is busy, so she will not be seeing patients in the capital in the future. She will just stay here for a while and teach some apprentices."
"A Ning, we should go now."
Qin Xiaoning was standing under the car talking to Master Wei. Lu Ji urged her in a deep voice. Qin Xiaoning turned her head and gave the man a look, then asked Master Wei, "When will the pharmacy open?"
"Let's do it on the fifth day of next month." said Master Wei.
"A Ning——"
Before they could finish their conversation, Lu Ji urged Qin Xiaoning again in the car. This time, Qin Xiaoning turned around and scolded him, "Can't you wait a moment?"
Lu Ji was choked, but finally closed his mouth.
Master Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw the two of them. Qin Xiaoning asked, "Why are you laughing?"
Master Wei glanced at Lu Ji, who was sitting in the car with a gloomy face, and just shook his head without saying anything. Qin Xiaoning didn't care about it and just said, "When Jiang Nu comes, please send someone to inform me. I was grateful for her care in Qianzhou. Now that she is in Beijing, I must do my best to be a good host."
After giving some instructions, Qin Xiaoning said goodbye to Mr. Wei and got on the carriage.
With the driver's shout, the carriage started again. Qin Xiaoning waved goodbye to Mr. Wei through the window, then turned to look at Lu Ji: "I just met an old friend and said a few words. Why are you so gloomy?"
The little woman's black and white eyes glared at the man, and her tone was fierce: "I don't even have this little freedom, right?"
Lu Ji had a gloomy face, as if someone owed him money, and retorted unhappily: "Don't you know what that Wei guy thinks of you?"
Qin Xiaoning asked back: "Then tell me, what does he think of me?"
Seeing the man's gloomy face and silent, Qin Xiaoning said angrily, "Even if he really had feelings for me when he was in Qianzhou, what's there for you to worry about? At that time, I was a single person, and he was also single. Even if there were some feelings between men and women, it didn't cross the line at all. Now that he knows that I'm marrying you, he just happened to bump into me and say hello. He is open and aboveboard, but you are so petty and don't care about my face at all."
"He is upright?" Lu Ji couldn't stand Qin Xiaoning praising other men. Hearing this, the man immediately got angry: "Qin Xiaoning, I warn you, you'd better be honest. If I see you interacting with that Wei again, I will definitely make him pay."
Seeing that the man was starting to act foolishly again, Qin Xiaoning didn't tolerate him and opened the car door. She said to Lu Ji in a cold voice, "Get out."
The man was stunned by the little woman's attitude.
Qin Xiaoning raised her hand and pulled his sleeve: "Get off, I don't want to ride with a petty man like you."
Having said that, without waiting for the man to explain, she called out to the driver, "Stop the car and let the prince get off."
The driver had heard the intermittent quarrel between the two people in the carriage. After hearing Qin Xiaoning's instructions, he turned his head and looked at Lu Ji timidly, hesitating and not knowing what to do.
Qin Xiaoning then gave another firm order: "Stop the car and let him get off."
Having said that, he pushed the man out of the carriage without waiting for it to stop.
