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

"Ming Yuandu, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"What do you mean this matter ends here? Xiao Rang's grievances have not been cleared up yet! Do you really want to watch your son being punished?"

Zhou Zhaoru was the first to break the silence in the room.

She was so angry that she thought Ming Yuandu was really crazy, otherwise why would he say such things at this time.

"What do you want?"

Ming Yuandu's face was not good either: "This is something your son admitted himself!"

"and--"

When he said this, his voice paused.

He could feel the eyes of everyone in the room, now on him.

He also knew that his daughter's gaze was involved.

He was a little afraid to look his daughter in the eye.

This made him more hesitant than facing his mother's criticism.

He lowered his head and pursed his lips in silence. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "She has been granted marriage to the Fourth Prince. If the matter gets out of hand, it will not benefit anyone."

He didn't know how the others were looking at him now.

He didn't dare to look up.

He could only keep his head down and continue to speak in a hoarse voice: "If it gets out and people know that Xiao Rang is helping his foster sister to deal with his own sister, it will be bad for not only Xiao Rang, but also Heng Ge'er and the others."

He didn't think there was anything wrong with his decision.

He was thinking about this family, and the century-old foundation and reputation of their mansion.

really--

After he said this, Zhou Zhaoru calmed down and stopped arguing with him.

Ming Yuandu breathed a sigh of relief.

The only person he felt sorry for in this matter was his daughter.

"Yanyan..."

He spoke.

He knew that this made her disappointed and sad.

Ming Yuandu sighed softly. The happy scenes when he was young and spent time with his daughter seemed too far away after all.

As the head of the Ming family, he has the obligation and responsibility to preserve the family's reputation.

"Father knows you're upset, but you're the eldest daughter of the family and you should think about the overall situation. You don't want our whole family to be talked about by outsiders after the incident gets out of hand, right?"

"Ming Yuan Ferry!"

Princess Fuhua was the first one who couldn't help herself and spoke with a sullen face.

Ming Yuandu sighed, knelt down, looked at the old man at the top and said, "Mother, if you are angry, blame me or criticize me, I will never say no, but this matter can only end here. If the matter gets out of hand, it will not be good for anyone."

"Not good for anyone?"

Princess Fuhua laughed in anger: "So you decided to wrong your own daughter?"

Ming Yuandu was scolded.

He didn't dare to look at Mingjin, so he could only continue to lower his eyes and say, "My son will make it up to Yanyan in other ways."

"you--"

Princess Fuhua was so angry that her fingers were shaking and her whole body was trembling.

Ming Yuandao and his wife were afraid that she would get sick from anger, so they hurried to persuade her.

The room was noisy.

Only Ming Jin remained like a spectator and an outsider, standing aside without saying a word.

She looked down at Ming Yuandu, her so-called father.

Then I went to see Zhou Zhaoru.

Look at her mother.

They didn't dare to look at her at this time.

Ming Yuandu buried his head and didn't see it, or perhaps he didn't dare to look. When their eyes met, Zhou Zhaoru's face changed slightly and he turned away.

Mingjin was still watching carefully.

Every time, they would choose to give up on her for different reasons.

Every time.

Ming Jin suddenly let out a chuckle.

The laughter was not loud, but it was too abrupt in such an environment.

Everyone looked at her.

"Yanyan..."

Princess Fuhua was the most worried.

Afraid that she would be sad, she held Mingjin's hand tightly.

But Mingjin was very calm.

I knew it would be like this. There's no need to be angry, and even less to be sad.

It's also good to cut off that hope with your own hands.

She first gently shook the old man's hand, then suddenly knelt down.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this scene.

Princess Fuhua frowned and said, "Yanyan, what are you doing!" As she said that, she was about to help Mingjin up.

Mingjin refused.

She put her hand on the old woman's arm and looked up at her: "Grandma, your granddaughter may be unfilial."

Before others could react to the meaning of this sentence, Princess Fuhua opened her eyes wide.

Looking at the girl's determined eyes, her gaze flickered, and her two gray and dry lips opened unconsciously, and finally pursed together again.

The grandparents and grandchildren looked at each other.

It seems like a silent riddle.

In the end, Princess Fuhua closed her eyes, opened them again, loosened her hands, and returned step by step to the Arhat bed.

Mingjin knew that his grandmother had agreed.

Even though her grandmother didn't want her to do this, she ultimately chose to let her decide for herself.

Mingjin also felt bad, she didn't want her grandmother to feel sad.

But at this point, only a quick sword can cut the Gordian knot. If some things are not resolved and are dragged on, it will only cause more trouble.

She had had enough, too.

She took a deep breath and turned back.

Ming Jin faced Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru, and many scenes flashed through her mind, from her childhood, past life, and present... like a fleeting glance, she called out, "Dad, Mom."

These two sounds made the two people who were originally kneeling on the ground with their heads buried raise their heads with shocked expressions.

Even Ming Jingrang raised his head in surprise.

He didn't know what Ming Jin was going to do, but he saw the determination in Ming Jin's eyes, which made Ming Jingrang feel a little scared for no reason...

He called out in a hoarse voice unconsciously: "Sister..."

"Yanyan, you..."

Zhou Zhaoru spoke first.

She also didn't know what Mingjin was going to do.

My mind was already shocked by Mingjin's word "mom".

In the past, she always felt that Ming Jin was unfilial. She had been back for so long but had never even called her "Mom". So she was angry and resentful towards Ming Jin. But now, she suddenly called her, which made her a little at a loss.

Ming Yuandu also looked at Ming Jin somewhat helplessly.

Ming Jin ignored their words and just continued to look at them and said, "You gave birth to me. When I was young, I was naughty and made you angry a lot."

The more she said this, the more panicked Zhou Zhaoru became.

"without……"

She didn't know what Ming Jin was going to do, so she could only follow Ming Jin's words and say, "No... you were very good and obedient, and you were your most precious sweetheart."

As if he remembered something from the past, Zhou Zhaoru couldn't help but shed tears.

"Yanyan, it was my fault. It was my fault that I didn't think highly of you. It was my fault that I made you suffer."

Ming Jin looked at the woman who was crying so sadly, and there were ripples in her heart, but ripples were not like waves, so they would not affect her.

She knew it.

The guilt at this moment cannot cover everything.

When things happen and when it comes time to make a choice, she is still the one who will be abandoned.

"There are some things I thought I would never say in my lifetime, but I didn't expect it to come to this."

She laughed a little, maybe this was her fate.

In one’s life, one will encounter many relationships, including family, friendship, and love… Some relationships are destined to only stay with you for a period of time.

"You gave me life and gave me a life, and I have no way to repay you."

"I never blamed you in those ten years."

"But I cannot forgive what happened during this period."

"You can say that I don't know the big picture, or that I'm cold-blooded and heartless, but I can't stay in this family any longer."

Looking at the Ming Yuandu couple’s wide eyes.

Ming Jin did not stop talking, but continued to look at them and said: "I will move out of the Marquis' Mansion today, and I will not come back unless something serious happens."

"you--"

Ming Yuandu was the first to ask in shock and anger: "Are you going to sever ties with us?"

Ming Jin thought about it and shook his head: "I know my last name is Ming, and I can't really sever my ties with this family. If there is anything at home that needs me, you can still look for me. As long as I can help, I will not refuse."

"Have you ever thought about what others would think if you, an unmarried girl, moved out to live alone like this?" Ming Yuandu asked Ming Jin with a frown.

Ming Jin looked at him in silence for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Sometimes I'm curious, are you really thinking about the reputation of this family, or about yourself?"

Ming Yuandu was stunned by Ming Jin's question.

The room became quiet again.

Mingjin said nothing more.

The Ming Yuandu couple did not say anything else.

Things turned out like this, the other two families were unable to speak anymore. Only Ming Jingrang looked at Ming Jin, who seemed to be mumbling something, but it was hard to hear what he was saying clearly.

"Yanyan, you get up first."

The old man's voice sounded again behind him.

Mingjin turned around.

You can see the old man's face, exhausted but still trying his best to hold on.

"grandmother……"

Ming Jin, whose expression had never changed, suddenly had tears in his eyes when he saw the old man's tired face.

"stand up."

The old man looked at her and repeated it.

Aunt Cheng walked forward with red eyes and helped Mingjin up.

Mingjin didn't refuse either.

She stood up and walked towards the old man.

She doesn't care how others see her.

Only my grandmother...

"grandmother……"

She called out softly.

How could Princess Fuhua not see her heart? Seeing the girl's slightly red eyes, the old man couldn't help but redden his eyes.

She held Mingjin's hand tightly.

I looked at her face bit by bit with reluctant eyes, and suddenly, she said in a deep voice: "Go and do what you want to do."

Mingjin looked up in disbelief.

Ming Yuandu's equally incredulous voice rang out from below: "Mother, do you know what you are saying?"

Even Zhou Zhaoru, who was originally sobbing quietly, looked at Princess Fuhua in disbelief and stopped crying.

Princess Fuhua pulled Mingjin to her side instead of asking her to shield her from the things behind her.

She looked directly into her eldest son's eyes, into his puzzled and dissatisfied eyes. Princess Fuhua was silent for a long time before she looked at him and said, "Sometimes I really regret that I couldn't stop the Zhuang family's request and sent you over there."

Ming Yuandu was stunned.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and said silently: "Why are you talking about these things again? These things have long passed, and I have never blamed you."

Princess Fuhua did not stop, she looked at him and continued, "Among my sons, you are the one I feel most guilty about. You have shouldered the most responsibility since you were young. You shoulder the responsibility of both the Zhuang family and the Marquis's Mansion... But eldest brother, was it me or your father who taught you wrong? Did he make you put your family behind your own interests?"

"Mother……"

Ming Yuandu's expression changed.

He wanted to refute, but couldn't.

Princess Fuhua looked at his ever-changing face and seemed to be really tired and exhausted, or perhaps she was really old and no longer had the strength to fight for anything.

"You are now in charge of this family. I have no right to interfere, nor do I want to interfere."

"Whatever you think is the best way, do it."

"But don't interfere in Yanyan's affairs anymore. As your mother, I didn't teach you well, which led to this. Instead of seeing each other every day and harboring resentment, it's better to let each other go."

"From now on, Yanyan can do whatever she wants, and you are not allowed to disturb her."

"Boss, this is your choice, you have to accept it."

“You can’t have everything, and you can’t have everything.”

Ming Yuandu opened his mouth several times but could not utter a word. He looked at the old man and finally moved his gaze to the girl.

Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar daughter, Ming Yuandu felt complicated.

He opened his mouth again, but finally gave up.

He lowered his eyes and finally said, "...I'll do as you say."

Zhou Zhaoru's crying beside him seemed to get louder.

She kept shouting "No" and "No", but her words were powerless.

Ming Yuandu ignored it. He just wondered blankly: Did he really do the right thing?

"Okay, all of you please leave first."

The farce ended here. Even Ming Yuanan, who always loved to watch the fun, didn't dare to say anything today and left quietly.

The rest of the people left one after another.

Only Ming Yuandu's family of three were left, still kneeling on the ground, either in a daze or crying, but no one paid any attention to them.

Princess Fuhua took Mingjin's hand and went inside.
