The arrival of Gu Mingheng and Gu Changze caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.

No one expected that the uncle and nephew would come today. Needless to say, Gu Changze was the crown prince and was very busy with affairs. Even when the crown princess's father, his father-in-law, the Minister of Personnel, celebrated his 50th birthday, he just showed up, ate a meal, drank some wine, and left.

I didn't expect that I would come to Anyuan Marquis Mansion today.

How can this not be surprising?

But what is even more surprising is the King of Chang'an.

This nobleman's appearances are even less frequent than those of the crown prince.

Over the years, except for the last time when he attended the birthday party of the old Yuan family's Grand Tutor, he could only be seen at palace banquets.

I didn't expect him to come.

I never expected that he would give Princess Changle such a generous gift.

For a moment, everyone was thinking and talking about it, but without exception, their attitudes towards Ming Jin became more friendly.

……

Lunch is finished.

The banquet had not yet ended, but Ming Jin had been forced to drink a lot of wine, which was mixed with a lot of other types of wine.

Drinking too much.

Although you won’t get drunk, it’s bound to give you a headache.

She asked Hua Sui to tell her grandmother. After Hua Sui came over to reply, Ming Jin said to the people at the same table, "I'm going to go out for a while, you guys continue."

Everyone just thought that she was busy and didn't say anything.

Ming Jin nodded slightly to them, then took Hua Sui out.

"Shall I ask the kitchen to prepare some sobering soup for you?" Hua Sui helped Ming Jin out of the dining yard. Seeing her gently pressing her temples because of a headache, he asked worriedly.

Ming Jin said, "It's okay, just walk for a while and breathe some fresh air."

But after walking a few steps, a familiar female voice came from behind: "Ajin."

Mingjin stopped and looked back.

Seeing that the person coming was Xu Zhaojun, she smiled and asked, "Why did you come out, sister?"

Xu Zhaojun came over to see her, and said, "I was worried about you, so I came out to see you." After she came closer, she saw that her face was flushed, and Xu Zhaojun frowned worriedly, "Did you drink too much?"

In the situation just now, as she was an outsider, it was naturally difficult for her to say anything for her.

"Are there any oranges at home?" Xu Zhaojun asked Hua Sui.

Seeing her nod, she instructed, "Ask the kitchen to make some orange juice and send it over."

Ming Jin smiled and said, "No need."

Xu Zhaojun looked at her and said, "Be obedient. You drank too much and mixed too much today. Drink some orange juice first to calm down, or you will have a headache later."

Hua Sui was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard this, he immediately said, "I'll go right away!"

After saying this, she ran away in a hurry without waiting for Mingjin's agreement.

Ming Jin looked helpless, but he didn't ask anyone to stop.

Let her run away.

After watching Hua Sui run away, Ming Jin turned back to look at Xu Zhaojun. Seeing her looking at Hua Sui running away, Ming Jin knew what she was thinking. He smiled and explained, "I took her to my side in advance."

Xu Zhaojun guessed it.

Hearing this, she simply nodded: "She is a loyal servant and cares about you, so it should be so."

Mingjin smiled.

Xu Zhaojun also laughed.

The two of them smiled at each other on the green path.

"Take a walk?"

Mingjin asked Xu Zhaojun.

Anyway, they were not in a hurry to go back, and the orange juice had not arrived yet.

Xu Zhaojun naturally would not have any objection.

Two people walked along the path.

Everyone was eating at this time and there were not many people on the road.

The two of them walked slowly like this.

The weather was clear and the air was fresh, and their hearts were also very open.

They have the same experience and the same secret, which cannot be told to anyone before.

Even their closest family members could not tell this secret.

Afraid of worrying them.

But later, they can tell each other.

This kind of relationship also brings their hearts closer to each other.

"With Gu Jiarou's personality, she won't give up easily. You have to be careful." Xu Zhaojun followed her out. In addition to being worried about Ming Jin, she also wanted to remind her.

She had suffered a lot at the hands of Gu Jiarou.

No matter whether it is a hidden loss or an obvious loss.

Even her life was lost because of Gu Jiarou.

Xu Zhaojun used to hate and fear her, but now these emotions have faded a lot with the passage of time, but she still remains wary.

That's why she was so worried.

Gu Jiarou has lost so much face here today that she will naturally not let it go. She is used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong. She can't do anything to the prince and others, but with her status as a princess, she is more than capable of dealing with Ming Jin.

Xu Zhaojun was really worried.

Compared to Xu Zhaojun's worry, Ming Jin was much more calm.

She is not even afraid of Gu Changxuan, so how could she be afraid of the cowardly Gu Jiarou?

But Mingjin still felt warm in his heart.

She said softly to Xu Zhaojun: "Don't worry, sister. I know."

Thinking of something, Ming Jin asked Xu Zhaojun again: "I heard that sister is seeing Yuan Yu?"

Both of them are past the age of being shy.

Their past experiences also prevent them from blushing when talking about these things like other girls of the same age.

Faced with Mingjin's direct questioning, Xu Zhaojun did not hesitate.

She nodded naturally: "I am almost old enough to get married."

"My family gave me several choices, and after getting to know each other, I found that Mrs. Yuan was very good."

She didn't say anything about Yuan Yu, but about Mrs. Yuan.

Ming Jin understood, and therefore, she looked at Xu Zhaojun and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

She never thought about getting married in her life.

After experiencing such things, it was difficult for her to trust others, let alone get along with others.

She couldn't even imagine what it was like to have someone sleeping next to her.

I'm afraid I'll wake up in the middle of the night.

But Mingjin also knows that most women in this world are accustomed to following the rules and living their lives step by step according to their family's arrangements.

"do not worry about me."

Xu Zhaojun smiled and comforted Mingjin.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with it, and I don't think there's anything wrong with getting married."

"I'm getting married just to make my parents feel at ease. I hope I can find a good family and a good mother-in-law so that I can relax a little bit."

"Mrs. Yuan is very nice and treats me very well. I will definitely have a great time getting along with her in the future."

"As for Second Master Yuan——"

"I don't ask for anything else, as long as I can get some respect, it's enough. As for the rest, let it be, I don't care."

She had also heard of Yuan Yu's reputation as a playboy and knew how popular he was among women.

But what she wanted was not Yuan Yu's love.

No matter how many female confidantes he has outside, it has nothing to do with her.

She once loved a man so much that she held the best expectations in her heart and married him wholeheartedly, thinking that she would have a happy ending.

But the result?

Isn't it still in that situation?

Gu Jiarou was just the last straw that broke the camel's back.

During those years of getting along, she no longer had the same feelings for Ming Jingheng that she had at the beginning.

The god she once thought of was actually just an ordinary man.

Like many men, he was unable to reconcile the conflicts between his mother-in-law and his wife, and even always let his wife suffer.

She compromised again and again, but what she got was Zhou Zhaoru's even worse behavior.

So after waking up in this life, even though she still had some feelings for Ming Jingheng, she dared not contact him again.

He is a good man, a very gentle and kind person.

But he was not a good match for her.

When she was old enough to choose a husband, Xu Zhaojun first considered her future mother-in-law rather than her own husband.

She had had enough of the days when she faced Zhou Zhaoru in the past.

I don't know when Mingjin held my hand.

Ming Jin looked at her and said nothing, but Xu Zhaojun could feel a sense of comfort from her.

"It's okay."

Xu Zhaojun held Mingjin's hand, patted it gently, and comforted him with a smile.

Mingjin said nothing else.

She just said to Xu Zhaojun: "Remember to tell me if you have anything."

Xu Zhaojun smiled and agreed.

She also looked at Mingjin and said, "You too, don't resist if something happens."

Mingjin was about to nod.

Suddenly, a voice came from behind: "Yanyan!"

It’s Ming Jingheng.

Xu Zhaojun also heard it.

After all, they had been married for two years and had slept in the same bed for hundreds of days. Xu Zhaojun was certainly familiar with her husband from her previous life.

Her expression changed instantly.

But it was only a moment, and she returned to normal.

When Mingjin looked at her with concern, she smiled at him comfortingly and indicated that she was fine.

At this moment, Ming Jingheng also came over.

He only saw the younger sister at first, but when he got closer, he found that there was someone else next to her.

Judging from her clothes and appearance, she must be a lady from some family.

Ming Jingheng did not expect this situation. He stopped where he was, somewhat embarrassed, and did not move forward.

Just when he was hesitating whether to leave.

The woman who had her back to him suddenly turned around.

"Sir."

The woman bowed and greeted him.

Ming Jingheng was about to wave his hand to ask someone to get up, but when he touched her gentle face, he paused.

Although he had only seen her a few times, Ming Jingheng still recognized who she was.

——Xu Zhaojun, daughter of the Grand Secretary of the Dali Temple.

She was also the person that his mother and grandmother had originally chosen for him.

Ming Jingheng was stunned for a moment and forgot to speak or move.

Until I heard my little sister's impatient voice: "What's the matter?"

Ming Jingheng realized his mistake belatedly. He turned away a little embarrassedly and said to Xu Zhaojun hurriedly, "Miss Xu, please stand up."

Then he turned his gaze back to his younger sister.

However, this unexpected encounter made Ming Jingheng feel very confused for a moment, and he could no longer remain calm as usual.

He knew that the Xu family had been looking for the Yuan family, and he also knew that the Xu family had rejected his mother.

That day, when his mother came back from Xu's house, she was very unhappy and angry, and said that she would find him someone who was a thousand times better than the girl from the Xu family in the future.

Ming Jingheng thought at that time.

He doesn't need someone a thousand times better than her, he just wants to marry her.

He even regretted for the first time. Since he had been interested in her for a long time, why didn't he tell his mother about it earlier?

Why do we have to wait until it is too late to regret?

But Ming Jingheng said nothing in the end.

With his mother's pride, if he dared to say that, it would only make her more angry.

The emotions in my heart are still uncertain.

He didn't expect to meet her again after this incident, and it would be at such a time, and he didn't expect that she would be with Yanyan.

Have they met before?

When did the relationship become so good?

Ming Jingheng was extremely surprised by this.

But Ming Jin couldn't stand seeing him like this. He had originally thought that out of the blue, but after seeing Sister Xu by his side, he couldn't help but feel even more disgusted when he thought of what happened to her in her previous life.

"If everything is alright, you can go first. I have something to say to Sister Xu."

Mingjin immediately chased him away.

When Ming Jingheng heard this, he came to his senses completely.

Without having time to think about Miss Xu anymore, Ming Jingheng looked at Ming Jin and opened his mouth hesitantly, wanting to ask her if she was okay.

He had just heard from the Fifth Prince what had happened between her and Princess Ancheng, and was worried that something might have happened to her, so he hurried over.

But Miss Xu is also here...

If outsiders saw her standing there for a long time like this, it would be bad for Miss Xu's reputation.

After all, she is already dating the Yuan family.

Ming Jingheng also didn't want her reputation to be affected because of himself.

He hesitated for a moment, thinking that he should go back and talk to Yanyan, or he should go and apologize to Princess Ancheng to prevent her from causing trouble for Yanyan in the future.

"It's okay, you guys are busy."

Ming Jingheng thought it through and stopped worrying about it. He said something to Ming Jin, nodded to Xu Zhaojun, and left first.

Walk to a bend.

But he still couldn't help but look back.

The little girl over there is still standing with Miss Xu.

Miss Xu now had a gentle smile on her face, not as distant as when she faced him before, but rather enthusiastic and bright.

Strange to say.

In fact, he had not had much contact with Miss Xu. At most, they just said hello when they met.

Even if I feel regretful, I won't take it too seriously.

Marriage between men and women is the most normal thing in the world.

Just like that day, although he felt sorry, he didn't say anything in the end.

But at this moment, looking at her from afar like this, Ming Jingheng actually felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Like grinding meat with a dull knife.

You don’t feel any pain at first, but as time goes by, the pain spreads little by little and is enough to be fatal.
