The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

There are only two elders in the room.

The rest were illegitimate children of the same generation as Mingjin, as well as some concubines who were not even presentable. Zhou Zhaoru naturally would not let his daughter take the initiative to meet them.

They don't have that status.

Mingjin had no such plan.

She and Yao Qianyun bowed again and sat back in their chairs.

Wait for Mingjin to sit down.

Mother Cui helped introduce the rest of the people.

Let’s start with the eldest son’s house.

The first person to be introduced is Ming Sheng.

She is the daughter of Aunt Chen and Mingjin's fifth sister.

When Ming Sheng was called, she stood up immediately. She looked a little nervous, holding the handkerchief tightly in both hands, and was not good at speaking. After standing up, she hurriedly greeted Ming Jin, called her "sister" softly, then lowered her head without saying anything else.

She is really timid.

In just a short while, her face turned red.

Mingjin actually didn't have a very deep impression of his fifth sister.

Ming Sheng is a quiet person who usually stays at home, just like her aunt.

Besides, she is already seventeen this year.

It's the right age to get married.

Ming Jin remembered that in her previous life, Ming Sheng got married less than half a year after she entered the mansion.

The man she married was Dong Zhiyao, the second son of Dong Yan, the Minister of the Imperial Household Department.

The Minister of the Imperial Household Department was a sixth-rank official, in charge of horse administration at various frontier garrisons and taking orders from the Ministry of War. He was also Ming Yuandu's subordinate.

Ming Jin doesn't remember clearly what happened to Dong Yan.

But this Dong Zhiyao——

Mingjin had some impression of him.

Dong Zhiyao was also a student of the Imperial College and a classmate of the second brother. His character in the Imperial College was considered good. He was the kind of young man who could not be faulted by anyone.

Ming Jin had met him several times in his previous life. He was a young man who would smile at people when he saw them.

When Ming Sheng got married, everyone who saw her would say that she was lucky. They said that Zhou Zhaoru was a good mistress who even arranged such a good husband for a concubine's daughter.

But is this really the case?

Is Dong Zhiyao really a good person?

The young man who seemed kind to others on the surface was actually an extremely gloomy pervert in private. Not only had he kept women outside for a long time, but it was also said that he had tortured several of them to death. Whenever he was unhappy about something, he liked to whip people.

I don't know how many bad things I have said about others.

Mingjin's cousin was his classmate and his grades were always much higher than his, so he was hated by him.

However, when this incident broke out, it was already a few years later.

At that time, Mingsheng had been married into the Dong family for two years and had a daughter.

After all, nothing serious had happened, and the deaths of those women had been covered up, so the Ming family didn't say anything. However, it was inevitable that there was some awkwardness when they got along with the Dong family on a daily basis.

For this reason, Ming Sheng rarely went home after that.

At that time, Aunt Chen had passed away. Ming Jin didn't spend much time with her. Ming Sheng lived a secluded life and rarely went out after getting married. She also had her own things to do. Although they were half-sisters, she probably saw less of them in a year than the others.

Ming Jin didn't know whether Dong Zhiyao had treated Ming Sheng better after being warned by Ming Yuandu. But he remembered that when they met at a banquet, Ming Sheng seemed to be more silent than before.

Although she was not good at speaking before, there was always some light in her eyes. But later on, even that light was gone.

Perhaps it was because Ming Jin looked at her for too long, so long that not only Ming Sheng and Aunt Chen began to feel uncomfortable, but even Zhou Zhaoru looked over.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?"

"No."

Ming Jin came back to his senses, nodded to Ming Sheng, and called her "Fifth Sister".

Ming Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, smiled shyly at Ming Jin, and sat down again.

Afterwards, Mother Cui introduced Ming Jinghuai, the daughter of Aunt Xu, to Mingjin.

Ming Jinghuai is the ninth child in the family and the ninth brother of Ming Jin. Although he is young, he speaks in a very confident and generous manner. After he stood up, he bowed to Ming Jin politely and called her "sister".

Mingjin also nodded with him.

After that, it was the brother and sister from the third room.

The first person that Mother Cui introduced was the fourth young lady Mingrong.

Mingrong is Aunt Yu's second child. Like Aunt Yu, she is very bright and has a very outgoing personality. When Cui Mama named her, she smiled and called Mingjin, "Sixth sister, long time no see."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly cried out "Ouch".

As if he had said something wrong, Mingrong quickly covered his mouth with his hands, leaving only a pair of bright big eyes showing, with a panic-stricken look.

How could the others not know why she was like this?

The room, which originally had a good atmosphere, suddenly became silent.

Zhou Zhaoru's expression turned ugly almost immediately.

Although she didn't say some things explicitly, who in the Marquis's Mansion didn't know about them? Just now, both Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai from the eldest house behaved well and didn't point it out.

But this little bitch from the third room has bad intentions!

Zhou Zhaoru was extremely angry. If he had known this would happen, he should have let the mother and daughter stay in their own room!

Ye Xi's face didn't look good either.

But given her identity, it’s hard to say anything.

Yao Qianyun still looked like an old monk in meditation. She neither paid attention to Mingrong's insolence nor said anything to help Mingjin, as if whatever happened had nothing to do with her.

Aunt Yu was extremely anxious.

She also likes to watch the fun, but as a foolish daughter, doesn't she know that some fun cannot be watched casually?

What is the most taboo thing in the family now? Doesn’t this stupid thing know or what?

It would be fine if they just talked and laughed in private, but who would directly bring it up and even stir up trouble in front of the main character?

Aunt Yu was extremely anxious.

If Ming Jingxiao wasn't there beside her and there weren't so many people in the room, she would have been afraid of being the first to stand out by Zhou Zhaoru. She really wanted to slap her arm hard and tell her to know the occasion!

It’s okay to offend Yao Qianyun. He is just a piece of trash and not worth mentioning.

But I have offended Zhou Zhaoru——

This is the mistress of their Marquis' Mansion. Even the Third Master has to bow his head in front of her.

If she really does something, what will happen to the three of them in the future?

Concubine Yu was worried. She lowered her voice and called out "Fourth Young Miss" in a low voice. She stood up and bowed to Ming Jin, saying, "Young lady, I am Concubine Yu from the Third House. I am good at needlework. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."

Her words of showing loyalty finally made Zhou Zhaoru look a little better.

However, Zhou Zhaoru didn't want his precious daughter to deal with such a person.

Fall share.

She said lightly, "Okay," and asked Mother Cao to introduce the other people.

Mingrong didn't get anything good, but instead received a lot of cold stares and dissatisfaction. She looked at Mingjin with an angry face. Everyone thought she would feel embarrassed, but she was still sitting there calmly, with no expression on her face.

As if she noticed her gaze, she also looked over at her.

Their eyes suddenly met. Looking into those eyes, Mingrong didn't know why, but she felt like she was being stared at, and her body couldn't help but stiffen.

She turned her face away somewhat involuntarily.

When Mingrong realized what she had done, she felt a little embarrassed again. She was actually shocked by this poor man who had just returned.

She felt that she had lost face, but now she had no chance to make up for it. She could only clench the handkerchief in her hand and bite her lips tightly in anger.

Ming Jin saw Ming Rong's angry face and was too lazy to argue with her.

Mingrong has always had this kind of temper. She is a bit scheming and manipulative, and she likes to stir up trouble. I love watching the fun between her and Mingyao the most.

To say she is smart is not smart either.

How could a really smart person say such things in such an occasion?

It was obvious that it was intended to embarrass Zhou Zhaoru.

How could Zhou Zhaoru not hate her?

But if you say she is stupid, Mingyao tried to use her to cause trouble several times in the past, but she never fell for it once.

"Your eldest brother is now in the Yulin Guard and is on duty in the palace today. Your younger brother is still studying in the Imperial College and it will take a few days for them to come back." Zhou Zhaoru's voice came from beside him.

Mingjin nodded.

She didn't care where the brothers were now.

Her expression showed a bit of indifference.

But in Zhou Zhaoru's eyes, he thought she was feeling uneasy and sad because of what that little bitch from the third room said.

She was annoyed with the little bitch from the third room again, but she couldn't show it on her face. She just slowed down her voice and said to Mingjin, "You just came back today and you must be tired. I'll take you to rest first. We can talk about anything later."

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to talk to others: "Yanyan just came back today and is tired. Let's talk about dinner another day."

The others had come originally as guests, and wanted to meet Ming Jin and get to know him, so after hearing what Zhou Zhaoru said, they naturally had no objection and said goodbye first.

Zhou Zhaoru did not randomly ask someone to send Ming Jin back to the house as he did in his previous life. Instead, he planned to accompany him back personally.

But she was also embarrassed.

The Jiangyunxuan where Mingjin lived when he was a child has now been given to Yaoyao.

"Mother has found a new house for you. There is a lotus pond outside the yard. Didn't you love picking lotus pods in the past? Later, mother will have someone pick lotus pods for you and cook lotus seed soup. The lotus seeds in this season are very sweet." Zhou Zhaoru did not say why she changed houses, thinking that if she could get away with it this way, everything would be fine.

But in her heart, she was still very scared, afraid that the girl next to her would take the initiative to ask her the reason.

If she was really asked, she didn't know what to say. She couldn't just tell the truth and say that the house was given to Yaoyao.

What would Yanyan think?

Fortunately.

The girl next to him didn't say anything, so Zhou Zhaoru breathed a sigh of relief.

Along the way, Zhou Zhaoru personally introduced Mingjin's family, but he never mentioned Mingyao's existence, nor did he ask about the ten years she was missing.

These two things seemed to have suddenly become unspeakable taboos. Zhou Zhaoru was not willing to expose them and destroy the beauty of the present.

Just pretend nothing happened.

Mingjin thought she was ridiculous, as if nothing would happen if she didn't say anything. But in fact, she was just deceiving herself.

But she was too lazy to say it.

Allow Zhou Zhaoru to cover up his mistakes and pretend that everything is peaceful.

Besides, if Zhou Zhaoru didn't say anything, someone would naturally say it. Ming Jin's eyes swept across a familiar place, and sure enough, he saw a figure behind the tree over there.

Although it is different from the previous life.

But after dealing with Ming Yao for so many years, how could Ming Jin not know what kind of person she is and what methods she uses?

She knew the show was about to begin.

I don't know if it's because I've been too bored these days, but Ming Jin actually felt a little bit of anticipation for what was about to happen.

Zhou Zhaoru and the others hadn't noticed it yet.

They continued to talk to Mingjin with a smile, introducing the surroundings, until a figure hurried over from the front.

Mother Cao frowned first.

When Zhou Zhaoru heard the noise, he subconsciously frowned.

She hated people who didn't know the rules, but after seeing who it was, she suppressed her scolding and frowned and asked, "Qian Rong? Why are you here?"

As soon as he finished speaking, seeing Qian Rong's red eyes, Zhou Zhaoru's face immediately turned ugly, and his voice became urgent: "Why are your eyes red? What happened!"

"Madam, the girl, she fainted!" Qian Rong said choking.

"what!"

Zhou Zhaoru's expression changed immediately, and he couldn't help but shake his body.

She almost immediately let go of Mingjin's hand and strode forward. She only came to her senses when Cao's mother called her.

Looking back, she saw her daughter who had just returned, the one who looked very similar to her, still standing there, and the other maids and servants were also looking at her.

Everyone's face looked bad, which made Ming Jin look more calm and charming.

"Yanyan..."

Zhou Zhaoru looked at Ming Jin, unable to defend himself, even a little speechless.

Ming Jin looked at her and seemed quite relaxed. He did not feel any strange feeling because Zhou Zhaoru had let go of her hand and left without hesitation.

If she had known this, why would she be sad?

She didn't even feel the slightest bit of loss.

Only when you are thinking of someone will you feel sad, but she has already seen through Zhou Zhaoru and half of the Ming family.

Zhou Zhaoru was looking at him like this at this moment.

Seeing the nervousness and helplessness in her eyes, Ming Jin even laughed: "Is it the girl you picked up? I have heard people talking about it all the way, so I am a little curious."

"Now that you're here, let's go take a look."

After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to walk forward, which shocked the crowd. They had never expected this result.
