Since that day, Mingjin no longer cared about what was happening outside, nor did he ask anyone to investigate or do anything.

In order to prevent anyone from finding any clues and leading her to the cause.

There is still an explanation for what happened before, but there is no evidence. If we continue to investigate this matter, who knows what the man in the East Palace and the Yuan family will think?

Besides, her birthday is coming soon.

Although she didn't need to do anything, she couldn't just run outside like she did before.

Mingjin stays at home these days.

She was not in a hurry to ask Hua Sui to take her to that underground place, but stayed at home obediently every day to accompany her grandmother.

Compared with the past, the days are no different.

If there is really any difference.

It's just that her relationship with Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai has become much closer.

The three siblings, who had hardly spoken to each other in their previous life, became very close in this life, and their daily interactions were more than just nodding and greeting.

Princess Fuhua was very pleased when she saw this scene.

She was happy that Mingjin could be close to his family.

Although Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai were both born out of wedlock and did not come from the same mother as Ming Jin, both children were very obedient and filial, and did not have that many concerns.

They had a great time, and Princess Fuhua was naturally happy to see it.

Because of this, the status of Aunt Chen and Aunt Xu has also risen a lot recently.

Whenever there was something, Princess Fuhua would send some to them.

Ming Yuandu was also very happy to see this. After all, these three were his children, so he didn't have so many thoughts in his mind.

They are his children anyway.

It is naturally the most important thing for a family to live in harmony.

As for what others think, no one knows. Anyway, no matter how angry Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Jingrang are, there is nothing they can do.

The current Mingjin is no longer the person who was cautious and had to behave in an obedient or submissive manner when he first returned home.

Not to mention that Princess Fuhua has already returned.

She loves Mingjin so much, so naturally no one would dare to come in front of her and make Mingjin unhappy.

Besides, Mingjin's current status as an imperial gift does not allow Zhou Zhaoru to reprimand him at will.

As for the two illegitimate sons and daughters, Zhou Zhaoru could punish them.

But for no reason, she had already displeased her mother-in-law recently. If she took the opportunity to punish her now and it got to her mother-in-law's ears, wouldn't she dislike her even more?

What's more, Ming Jingheng's marriage still needs the help of her mother-in-law.

Because of these, even if Zhou Zhaoru was angry, he didn't dare to do anything. He just didn't treat Aunt Chen, Aunt Xu, and the two illegitimate children well when he saw them.

"What's wrong? You look listless."

It was still the same pavilion as that day, but this time it was Ming Jin who spoke.

She was asking Ming Sheng.

Ming Sheng screamed, and being looked at by Ming Jin, she came back to her senses from her thoughts, shook her head, and whispered, "No, it's okay."

But she looked listless, how could she be fine? Guessing something in his mind, Ming Jin frowned and asked, "Did someone at home bully you? Or did they bully your aunt?"

This "someone".

The ones referred to are naturally Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Jingrang.

Ming Sheng could hear it.

Looking at Ming Jin who was looking at her with frowned brows, although Qimei's voice sounded hard and the expression on her face was not soft, she could feel that Qimei was concerned about her.

Ming Sheng felt warmed when he saw this.

But because of this, she didn't want to cause trouble for her seventh sister because of her own affairs. She shook her head and said to others: "No, no one bullied me."

Ming Jinghuai, who was peeling sugar-roasted chestnuts for his two sisters, looked at Ming Sheng and then at Ming Jin. Although he had been reminded by his fifth sister before, seeing his seventh sister frowning, Ming Jinghuai still whispered, "It's the fifth sister's marriage."

"Xiao Huai!"

Ming Sheng's eyelids twitched twice. He never expected that after all his repeated warnings, Xiao Huai still said it!

She turned her head to look at Ming Jinghuai, her brows slightly furrowed, as if she was about to scold him.

Ming Jinghuai shrank his shoulders when he was looked at, but Ming Jin raised his eyebrows and asked, "Marriage? What's wrong with your marriage?"

While talking.

Mingjin thinks back to his past life.

She didn't remember whether Ming Sheng had met Dong Zhiyao at this time in her previous life, but the two families did set the date this year.

When I think about it this way, it seems like it will be soon.

But looking at Ming Sheng's appearance, it seems that there has been some obstruction in her marriage, and she may not even have reached the stage of meeting Dong Zhiyao.

I guess Zhou Zhaoru did something.

Ming Jin looked at Ming Sheng, who looked hesitant and conflicted, as if he didn't know how to start the conversation or whether he should start it at all.

She simply turned her head and looked towards Ming Jinghuai.

"You tell me."

Ming Jinghuai looked at Ming Sheng hesitantly.

Although when he came, the fifth sister repeatedly warned him not to tell these things, letting the seventh sister know would only cause her more trouble.

But under the gaze of Seventh Sister.

Ming Jinghuai hesitated for only a moment before abandoning his fifth sister and joining his seventh sister. After all, his fifth sister was soft-hearted, so even if she was angry, she would just say a few words to him.

What’s more, Seventh Sister is here!

Seventh sister would never look at fifth sister and scold him!

Although Ming Jinghuai is not very old, he can tell whether others like him or hate him.

Although the Seventh Sister does not look as gentle as the Sixth Sister, Ming Jinghuai feels that the Seventh Sister is much better than the Sixth Sister.

Whenever he looked at his sixth sister, he always felt uneasy.

Although the Sixth Sister always looked at him and his aunt with a smile, had a good temper, spoke gently, and always gave them something.

But every time Ming Jinghuai saw her, he wanted to run away. He felt uneasy and uncomfortable.

Seventh sister is different.

Seventh sister is the type who seems difficult to get close to and doesn’t talk much, but he just likes to stick around her.

Ming Jinghuai didn't know whether it was because of blood relationship or for some other reason.

Anyway, he was very sure that Seventh Sister would not harm them, just as he was sure that Seventh Sister could help Fifth Sister.

Ignoring the look in the eyes of the fifth sister, he directly said to Mingjin: "Mrs. Chen went to see mother yesterday and said that the fifth sister was old enough and wanted mother to help her find a marriage, but mother..."

Ming Jinghuai didn't say the rest, but how could Ming Jin not understand?

She had guessed long ago that the problem was with Zhou Zhaoru.

Whether it was because she was close to Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai, or because her grandmother favored the two concubines, Zhou Zhaoru probably felt unhappy.

She didn't dare to do anything openly.

But as the mistress of the house, she still has a say in matters like the marriages of illegitimate sons and daughters.

But even my grandmother couldn't get involved in this kind of thing.

"Mother has been in poor health recently and has a lot of things to do. It's okay to delay for a while." Seeing Ming Jin silent, Ming Sheng comforted her instead.

When Ming Jin looked at her, Ming Sheng smiled and said to Ming Jin: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry. I still want to accompany my aunt for a while longer!"

This is the truth.

She really doesn't want to get married.

She was so sad and absent-minded just now, only because her aunt was crying all day long because of this, which made her feel uncomfortable and upset.

"Why don't you go find your father?"

Suddenly, the voice of Seventh Sister came to my ears.

Ming Sheng blinked and asked in confusion: "...Looking for father?"

Ming Jin looked at her, nodded and said, "He is your biological father who gave birth to you and raised you. Is there anything wrong with choosing him for your lifelong event?"

Ming Sheng opened his eyes wide.

He looked shocked.

She never thought about it.

Forget about thinking about it, this idea simply didn't exist in her mind.

Men have always been in charge of the outside world, while women have always been in charge of the inside world. This is a rule passed down from ancient times. The marriage of children should be handled by the mistress.

What's more, she was born out of wedlock.

If her mother knew that she had gone straight to find her father, she and her aunt would probably be scolded by her mother again!

"No, no, if my mother finds out, something bad will definitely happen." Ming Sheng shook his head like a rattle.

Mingjin looked at her and didn't say anything to her.

She simply took a handful of fish food from the box next to her and threw it casually down there, her face then turned towards the lake outside.

Watching the koi below scrambling for food.

She lowered her eyes and said calmly, "Could it be that nothing happened now? If nothing happened, would you and your aunt be like this?"

Ming Sheng looked at Ming Jin and opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Ming Jin continued to talk to himself: "As long as you have something to ask for, you will be inferior to others, you have to look at other people's faces, you have to be careful about everything, compromise everywhere, and follow other people's moods and wishes."

"Today she can reject you because she is in a bad mood or has too many things to do. Tomorrow she can continue to drag you because of other things."

"You think in your heart that she will be good one day, but when will that be? By then, will she continue to be bad because of something else?"

With every word she spoke, Ming Sheng's face turned paler.

to the end.

Ming Sheng's face was as white as frost and snow in winter.

"Then, then Seventh Sister, what should Fifth Sister do?" Ming Jinghuai became anxious.

He and Mingsheng are good friends. Although they were not born from the same mother, they are almost like real siblings.

After hearing Ming Jin's words, he naturally felt worried for Ming Sheng.

Mingjin said, "Let Aunt Chen go and tell father. Hasn't he been going to Aunt Chen's place recently?"

"Let Aunt Chen talk to him directly."

Ming Sheng opened his eyes wide and asked hesitantly, "Just say it straight?"

Ming Jin raised his eyebrows and looked back at her: "This is not a messy matter, why can't you just say it directly?"

Just like Ming Yuandu's personality.

Even if he could see that something was wrong with Aunt Chen, he wouldn't have the mind to guess or ask.

For him, the most important thing, whether it is his wife, concubines or children, is that they are obedient, sensible and do not cause him trouble.

So instead of crying and letting people guess, it is better to lay things out clearly and tell people.

"Just tell them you are old enough to get married."

"As for whether he arranges it for you personally or hands it over to you, that's not your concern."

"Can--"

Ming Sheng was still a little hesitant.

She and her aunt had lived under their mother's control for seventeen years, and their fear of Zhou Zhaoru was almost ingrained in their bones.

Let her disobey Zhou Zhaoru and do such a thing.

This……

This was really too much for her!

Her little face turned pale and red, and her hands were nervously twisted together.

She really...didn't dare.

The country is easy to change and the nature is difficult to change.

Ming Jin knew that her fifth sister was used to being bullied and weak. It was not an easy task for her to suddenly stand up and fight against Zhou Zhaoru.

But in this world.

People think that it is useless to rely on others, they can only rely on themselves.

She can speak and teach.

But the final choice has to be made by Ming Sheng himself.

Ming Jin turned his head again and looked at the lake outside: "Since she is the mistress, she should assume such obligations."

"If she doesn't want to take responsibility, then she shouldn't stop others from doing it."

"You don't have to worry about what will happen if she finds out. This is a major event for the continuation of family heritage, and she wouldn't dare to really do anything to you."

Ming Sheng's nervousness was gradually relieved because of Ming Jin's words.

She said nothing, but just stared blankly at her seventh sister beside her.

"You too."

Ming Jin's voice was still there: "In the future, when you become someone else's wife, the mistress of his mansion, you must remember that you were married in a formal ceremony and carried into the palace in a sedan chair. You don't owe them anything."

"As a mistress, you must assume the responsibilities and obligations of a mistress."

"But at the same time, you must have your own pride and not belittle yourself just because others don't like you."

"Everyone in this world can look down on you, but you must not look down on yourself."

"Don't let this put you down and make you a nobody, because anyone can bully and humiliate you."

She didn't know who Ming Sheng would marry in this life.

She would naturally not let Ming Sheng marry Dong Zhiyao, but who knows if the other men would be good matches?

She has seen too many families break up.

After all, people like my second uncle are a minority.

A man who can respect his wife, shoulder his responsibilities as a husband, not go out and have affairs with other women, and not favor concubines over his wife, is already a good match in the hearts of many women.

Someone with a personality like Mingsheng.

Mingjin was really afraid that she would meet the wrong person again in the future.

Instead of praying that the other person is a good match, and hoping every day for the little love and harmony he gives you, it is better to spend your time and energy on yourself.

The love of others is the hardest to obtain and the least lasting. Only loving yourself is the most eternal.

"No matter who you marry in the future, you are Ming Sheng, the daughter of the Ming family, and my fifth sister." Ming Jin suddenly turned his head and looked at Ming Sheng.

Ming Sheng was staring at it in a daze.

Hearing these words, tears suddenly fell from my eyes.

Tears are like pearls that have broken off the string, falling one by one, and even after you wipe them away there are still some left.

Ming Jin said with a smile: "Why are you crying?"

Ming Sheng blushed, choked up, and was a little embarrassed: "I, I am just touched."

"Seventh sister, thank you." Ming Sheng looked at Ming Jin without blinking as he took the handkerchief handed over by Ming Jin.

Ming Jin smiled and said nothing.

"Don't worry, I will tell my aunt when I get back!" Ming Sheng suddenly clenched his fists and assured Ming Jin.

Mingjin nodded softly.

Ming Jinghuai laughed and cheered, he knew that Seventh Sister would definitely find a way!

Bursts of laughter rang out in the water pavilion, causing the koi fish below to poke their heads out one after another, wanting to find out what was going on.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

Ming Sheng looked at Ming Jin, and suddenly, as if with emotion, he said softly, "I wonder which man will be lucky enough to marry my seventh sister in the future."

She felt that no one was worthy of her.

Her seventh sister is so nice, so nice.

When Ming Jin heard this, she just smiled and didn't say anything. She looked outside the pavilion.

She never thought about it.

If she wanted to get married, she could live a good life no matter who she married, but what was the meaning of that kind of life for her?

She doesn't need to rely on a man to survive, and she doesn't like children that much.

As for finding someone to love, there is even less need for that.

She had stopped believing in this.

The sky is high and the sea is vast, allowing birds to fly freely. She is more like a bird in the sky, soaring in the sky and seeing all the mountains and rivers of Daqian.
