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

Mingrong was getting a little impatient waiting.

Qian Shuang had been in there for a while. Apart from the noises she heard at the beginning, the master and servant inside seemed to have lost their voices afterwards.

I don’t know why he didn’t speak.

I kept my voice down, deliberately trying not to let her hear it.

Mingrong was feeling a little bored and unhappy.

Just as I was about to get up and go in to find Mingyao, I finally heard a little noise from inside.

Listening to the footsteps coming from inside, Mingrong didn't want Mingyao to see her urgency, so as not to make it difficult to talk to her later, so she sat back down.

He even pretended that nothing had happened.

When the curtain was lifted from the inside, Mingyao, who looked sick, was supported by Qianshuang and walked out. Mingrong exclaimed, "Sixth sister finally came out. I thought she would have to wait until the evening."

When Qian Shuang heard this sarcastic remark, her expression suddenly turned a little ugly.

She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to open her mouth because of the hairpin wrapped in red cloth on the table.

I could only purse my lips and keep silent.

Mingyao didn't reply immediately.

She glanced at Mingrong, and then coughed lightly with her handkerchief. Then she looked at Mingrong and said, "I'm afraid Fourth Sister doesn't have the patience to wait for me until the evening."

This cryptic sentence made Mingrong stunned.

Mingrong immediately became furious after realizing what was happening: "You——"

Mingyao coughed lightly again and spoke to the person in a gentle voice.

"Don't be angry, Fourth Sister. I mean that Fourth Sister is a noble person with many things to do, so naturally she can't wait for me for so long. Naturally, I don't dare to let Fourth Sister wait for so long."

Mingrong frowned.

Naturally, she would not believe Ming Yao's nonsense, but she was not here to cause trouble with her today. Seeing Ming Yao lowering her head and saying nice things, she just pursed her lips with a cold face and did not continue to get angry.

Mingyao talked for a while and her throat began to feel a little strained.

She patted Qianshuang's arm first, and Qianshuang hurriedly helped Mingyao over to sit down.

"Why don't you pour a cup of tea for Fourth Sister first?" Ming Yao said to Qian Shuang after sitting down.

Qian Shuang hurried to prepare tea for the two of them.

Mingrong sat in Mingyao's exclusive seat. Looking at Mingyao sitting beside him with a calm expression, he couldn't help feeling a little alert for a moment.

Wait for Qianshuang to come and serve tea.

Mingrong watched Mingyao drink her tea leisurely without any intention of asking questions or showing any fear, so she began to feel impatient and nervous again.

She looked at Mingyao with a cold face.

Mingyao saw it and asked in a good-tempered manner, "Fourth sister, don't you want to drink it? This tea is good. My brother brought it from Lin'an this spring."

Mingrong is not really a person who can remain calm and composed.

She couldn't hold it back, and sneered at Ming Yao, "I found that you are really capable. You usually look gentle, but I didn't expect you to be so filthy behind the scenes! People outside praise you for your kindness."

"A kind heart? How dare you admit it!"

"Miss Fourth!"

Qian Shuang frowned and shouted.

Mingyao raised her hand and stopped Qianshuang's voice.

Mingrong looked at the master and servant and sneered, "Why, is there anything I said wrong?"

"Mingyao, you have such a dark heart. Do your aunt and brother know about it?"

Mingyao's calm expression changed briefly when he heard the title "Big Brother".

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

She still lowered her eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "I know that Fourth Sister looks down on me, and I look down on myself, but Fourth Sister is not me, she doesn't know how scared I am."

"You have Aunt Yu to take care of things for you, and Third Uncle treats you well."

"But everything I have depends on this identity and name, so when the gatekeeper came to report it, I was instigated and agreed in a daze."

"But I really don't mean to harm the princess. How dare I? I just want to ease the situation for a while and see what to do."

She spoke so pitifully and cried like a pear blossom in the rain.

If Mingrong was a man, seeing her crying like this, his heart would have softened a long time ago.

But it is not.

She had dealt with Mingyao for so many years, how could she believe her words? Even if Mingyao really thought so, she had to think otherwise, otherwise how could this matter be discussed?

She still said with a cold face: "Don't cry to me, I won't fall for it."

"I only know that if my grandmother knew about this, Mingyao, you'd be finished! Not to mention being the prince's concubine, I'm afraid there would be no place for you in this family!"

Speaking of this, a hint of anticipation for a good show flashed across Mingrong's face.

She couldn't wait to see Mingyao's flustered and anxious look.

But Mingyao did not panic.

She just took the handkerchief and gently wiped her face. After wiping away all the tears on her face, she looked at Mingrong and said, "I know Fourth Sister won't do this."

Mingrong's face froze.

Before she could make any rebuttal, Ming Yao looked at her and said, "I know Fourth Sister doesn't believe me, and I also know that no matter how much I say, it will be useless."

"But since Fourth Sister didn't find Grandma but found me first, I guess she wants to negotiate a deal with me."

She guessed everything so accurately.

Mingrong couldn't help but open his eyes wide.

When she came to her senses, a trace of embarrassment flashed across Mingrong's face. She had originally wanted to take advantage of Mingyao and make her look so humble and beg her for mercy.

did not expect--

She had a cold face and said nothing.

Until Mingyao said, "I know what Fourth Sister wants me to do."

When Mingrong heard this, his eyebrows jumped at first, but then he didn't take it seriously and sneered, "Okay, then tell me what I want you to do."

"Fourth sister is seventeen this year. In terms of months, she is a few months older than fifth sister."

Ming Yao had just raised her head when the disapproval on Ming Rong's face froze immediately. She slowly shifted her gaze towards Ming Yao, and her pupils unconsciously dilated a little.

"Third Aunt doesn't care about things. Although Aunt Yu treats you well, her status is limited after all. Fourth Sister wants me to choose a good marriage for you, right?"

"you--"

Mingrong was more than just stunned now.

She looked at Mingyao in front of her, who was speaking softly, and was so frightened that her scalp went numb.

Is this a human? Is it a ghost?

How can you guess everything so accurately!

There was a flash of fear in Mingrong's heart, but it was only for a moment.

Soon, she reacted.

What are you afraid of?

Now she is the one who has the leverage over Mingyao!

The one to be afraid of is Mingyao!

Thinking of this, Mingrong quickly calmed down.

Now that everything has been revealed, she no longer hides it. She slightly raised her chin and looked at Ming Yao arrogantly: "So what?"

Ming Yao smiled: "I can promise Fourth Sister that I will arrange a good marriage for you, but Fourth Sister also needs to promise me that once this matter is out of this door, you can't mention it again, and you can't mention it to anyone."

"I don't want anything now. I just want to wait until December so that I can marry the Fourth Prince peacefully."

Seeing Mingrong's face full of ridicule.

Before she could speak, Ming Yao added, "It doesn't matter if Fourth Sister looks down on me or hates me, but I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"When we leave this mansion in the future, we will no longer be just daughters of the Ming family, and we will have to rely on more than just the help from our family."

Mingrong's expression paused.

Of course she knows.

What's more, Mingyao also has the Fourth Prince, the eldest aunt, the eldest brother and the eighth brother.

What about her?

Who can she rely on?

An aunt with no background, a father who doesn't care about anything... or relying on that sister who has a harmonious family but has no ability and can only keep her in line?

She can't rely on anyone, no one!

Mingyao looked at Mingrong's dazed look and knew that she had been persuaded.

Mingyao felt a little relieved.

As long as people have desires and goals, there is no need to worry too much.

She continued to look at Mingrong and said, "Fourth sister helped me today. When I become the fourth prince's concubine in the future, I will naturally help you."

Mingrong did not mock Mingyao this time.

For the first time, she sat quietly and did not speak immediately.

It was not until a while later that she looked at Mingyao and said, "Will you really help me?"

"Of course!"

Mingyao said without hesitation.

She even took the initiative to hold Mingrong's hand, looked at Mingrong with real affection and said, "Fourth sister now knows about my situation. Fourth sister and I are in the same boat. I will naturally help you."

Mingrong immediately felt certain.

She didn't believe Mingyao's sweet words, but Mingyao was right. Now that she knew her secret, she was no longer worried that Mingyao would not help her.

"Okay, I'll trust you for now."

"You said you would arrange a marriage for me. Who are you going to arrange for me?" Ming Rong said arrogantly, "Ming Yao, I won't marry just anyone."

If Mingyao really dares to look for those questionable people, don't blame her for regretting it!

"Of course I don't dare to find those mediocre people who are not up to the standard for my fourth sister."

After Mingyao said this, Mingrong felt relieved.

She looked at Mingyao, waiting for her to continue.

Mingyao asked: "Does Fourth Sister know the second son of the Imperial Household Secretary's family?"

Mingrong thought about it.

Suddenly I remembered a handsome figure.

That year, her second brother brought his classmates from the Imperial College home, among whom was a very handsome man. She later asked the servants at home and learned that the man was the second son of the Taifusi family.

Mingyao looked at Mingrong's expression.

Seeing her blushing face, he knew that Mingrong was interested in this Second Master Dong.

Although Dong Zhiyao's family background was not particularly high, he was more than qualified to be a match for Mingrong, a concubine's daughter. Moreover, Dong Zhiyao himself was handsome, talented, and had a good personality. If he passed the imperial examination in the future, he would be able to enter the Hanlin Academy.

This person was originally meant for Ming Sheng to see.

After dinner yesterday, she heard Zhou Zhaoru mention several candidates, among whom was Dong Zhiyao.

However, Zhou Zhaoru was not very willing to do so, so he betrothed this man to Ming Sheng.

Now we can have the best of both worlds.

It would not only satisfy Zhou Zhaoru's wishes, but also solve Mingrong's troubles.

She was not worried about not being able to convince Zhou Zhaoru, but she was worried about the Dong family.

Although Ming Sheng and Ming Rong are both concubines' daughters, there is a difference in their status. Compared with Ming Rong, Ming Sheng's status is still higher.

What's more, Ming Jin took Ming Sheng to meet so many ladies and young ladies yesterday, which really made Ming Sheng proud.

"Although the Dong family is not of high status, the second son of the Dong family is a talented and good man. If the fourth sister marries the second son of the Dong family in the future, she will be able to live a happy life. Moreover, the second son of the Dong family is also talented. If he can become the top scholar in the future, then the sister will be the wife of the top scholar."

Mingrong was dazzled by the title of "Top Scholar's Wife" and her breathing unconsciously became rapid.

"only--"

Suddenly hearing Mingyao say this, Mingrong's heart tightened and he immediately asked, "Just what?"

Ming Yao looked embarrassed: "To be honest with you, Fourth Sister, this man was originally intended for Fifth Sister to see. I can convince Mother, but the Dong family..."

"I heard that Mrs. Dong came yesterday and praised Fifth Sister highly."

When Ming Rong heard this, she said angrily, "If it weren't for Ming Jin, how could Ming Sheng, who is more timid than a mouse, be praised by others!"

When it comes to this, she gets very angry.

I am angry about Mingjin's unfair treatment.

Obviously, both she and Mingsheng are her sisters, but she is so nice to Mingsheng. She treats her like she is guarding against a thief!

How could she not be angry!

"Then what do you think we should do?"

"Mingyao, since you promised me, you have to do it!" She looked reckless.

Ming Yao thought: "I do have an idea, but I don't know if Fourth Sister is willing to do it."

Mingrong frowned: "What method?"

After Ming Yao finished speaking, Ming Rong was shocked: "You want me to go find that Second Master Dong first?!"

Even Mingrong felt that this method was too bold.

Ming Yao said, "After all, it's the Second Master Dong who's marrying his wife. As long as he's satisfied, what can Madam Dong say?"

"But……"

Mingrong was a little hesitant.

Ming Yao said: "Sister is so beautiful, she doesn't need to do anything. She just needs to walk in front of Mr. Dong and everything will be done."

Seeing Mingrong still struggling, Mingyao sighed and said, "I'm worried about my sister too."

"This good man won't wait. If Mrs. Dong comes to propose marriage to our family first, it will be too late."

When Mingrong heard this, he became anxious.

She gritted her teeth, didn't hesitate any more, and said hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go!"
