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

The group went to a nearby teahouse.

At this time, there were not many people in the teahouse in the alley, but Gu Mingheng still asked for a private room so that they would not feel uncomfortable.

Ordered tea.

Gu Mingheng also asked for some snacks and seasonal fruits for Mingjin and her sister.

After the teahouse owner had served everything, Ming Jin asked Gu Ming Heng, "What does the prince want to say to me?"

When Zhang Shouyi heard this, he thought they were going to discuss something important, so he made a gesture and planned to go out and wait first.

Ming Sheng, who had been drinking tea with his head down and not saying anything, suddenly saw this scene. He hesitated and put down his teacup while listening to Zhang Shouyi's words, not knowing what to do next.

"My Lord, then I..."

Zhang Shouyi hadn't finished speaking yet.

Gu Mingheng said, "No need, just sit down."

Zhang Shouyi felt relieved, smiled, said "oh", and sat back down.

Gu Mingheng glanced at Ming Sheng who was beside Ming Jin, and seeing her hesitation, he also said, "Miss Ming Wu, you don't have to leave. I have something to say to the princess, and there is no need to hide from others."

"Yes……"

After hearing this, Ming Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but his face still couldn't help but burn.

Don't dare to influence others.

She continued to lower her head, holding a bowl of tea and drinking it slowly.

Ming Jin knew that she was timid and would be at a loss what to do in such a situation. From the corner of his eye, he saw that she was still uneasy and didn't know what to do, so he simply handed her an orange and asked her to peel it slowly so that she would have something to do and wouldn't have to keep her head down drinking tea all the time.

He didn't say a word, but his eyes were still looking at Gu Mingheng, silently asking him what he wanted to say.

"Yuan Yu came to my place yesterday." Gu Mingheng started talking to Ming Jin.

Ming Jin was startled: "Second Master Yuan?"

She didn't expect Gu Mingheng to start with this, and she didn't know why he suddenly talked to her about Yuan Yu.

There was nothing between her and Yuan Yu, the only involvement was Sister Xu.

Could it be that something happened with Sister Xu?

Think of this.

Ming Jin couldn't help but look worried, and even his brows were furrowed.

Gu Mingheng could see the change in her expression. Seeing her like this, he quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss Xu is fine."

He did not hide anything and said to Mingjin, "He came to my place yesterday and saw the invitation you gave me. He knew that Miss Xu would also go that day, so he wanted to go too."

"He couldn't come to your house rashly, so he wanted to ask me to ask you."

"If it's inconvenient, I'll turn him down right away. You don't have to mind it, and you don't have to take it to heart."

Gu Mingheng told Mingjin the whole story.

So that's what happened. She thought it was something else. Ming Jin heaved a sigh of relief. Her heart was finally at ease. She smiled and said, "What's there to mind? Mr. Yuan can come whenever he wants. It's more lively when there are more people."

Ming Sheng peeled the orange and gave half to Ming Jin.

Ming Jin did not refuse, she took it and ate it slowly. She still had something to ask Gu Mingheng. After eating two orange slices, she said to Gu Mingheng: "I will write an invitation to the second young master when I go back and invite him in person, so as not to neglect him."

"but--"

Mingjin suddenly looked at Gu Mingheng.

"what?"

Seeing that Mingjin had something to say, Gu Mingheng asked.

He saw her holding an orange slice in her hand and eating it slowly. She had already eaten several slices in a row. He simply took an orange and peeled it slowly.

Ming Jin didn't notice Gu Mingheng's actions, still looking at him and asking: "I have something to ask the prince, did the second young master want to come because of Sister Xu?"

She heard Sister Xu talking about Yuan Yu that day, but she didn't ask anything else, and Sister Xu didn't say anything else either. She didn't know how the two of them were getting along now.

But now, according to Gu Mingheng...

Without her knowing, the second young master's attitude towards Sister Xu seemed to have changed a lot.

What was the reason behind this? She was worried.

Although she believed in the character of the second young master.

Besides, even if she didn't believe Yuan Yu, she couldn't help but believe Gu Mingheng. Anyone who could be friends with Gu Mingheng would naturally not have bad character.

But since it was about Sister Xu, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

She asked carefully and cryptically.

However, Gu Mingheng could tell what she wanted to know.

He paused while peeling the orange, and was silent for a while before he said to Ming Jin, "Something happened, but it's not a bad thing. This is about their privacy, so I can't say more to you here."

"But don't worry."

Gu Mingheng assured Mingjin: "Yuan Er cherishes this marriage very much. He will definitely treat Miss Xu well in the future and will never treat her badly."

Although I didn't hear the root cause.

But after hearing what Gu Mingheng said, Ming Jin felt relieved. She was not the kind of person who would dig into things.

As long as you know it is harmless to Sister Xu.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Gu Mingheng thought she was still worried. After hesitating for a moment, he whispered to her, "If you really want to know, I'll tell you when we get back."

He thought about it.

Although this matter is Yuan Yu's private matter, the two of them are about to get married, and Mingjin is a good friend of Miss Xu, so there is no harm in talking to Mingjin.

"Ok?"

Ming Jin was slightly stunned.

When she looked up, she saw Gu Mingheng looking at her.

The window was open, and the sunlight outside shone on his body, making his glass-like eyes look even more charming.

When Ming Jin watched, he felt as if his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Forget to come back to the mind.

She looked for a long time before she quickly came to her senses.

"No," she said to Gu Mingheng with her eyes downcast amidst the throbbing and buzzing of her heart, "No need."

"Since this is a private matter between Second Young Master Yuan and Sister Xu, Your Majesty, you don't have to tell me. I just want to know that Sister Xu is fine."

Her long, thick black eyelashes covered Mingjin's eyes, and also hid her emotions.

She was still holding an uneaten orange segment in her hand, but because she was distracted, she accidentally crushed the flesh.

The orange juice in the orange petals splashed on her white fingers.

Gu Mingheng was the first to notice it.

He frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Ming Sheng noticed it.

"Seventh sister, your hand..."

"what?"

Ming Jin hadn't noticed it yet, but after hearing Ming Sheng's words, he realized it and looked at his sticky fingers.

Sure enough, she saw that the skin of the orange segment had been broken by her, and the flesh and juice inside were sticking to her fingers.

Mingjin frowned.

Ming Sheng took a handkerchief and wanted to wipe her fingers.

"I will do it myself."

Ming Jin said this in a hoarse voice and put down the broken orange petal.

Fortunately, no one asked her how she was.

Ming Jin wiped her fingers bit by bit, calming herself down. When she was done, she said to them calmly with a smile, "Excuse me."

Zhang Shouyi naturally didn't dare to laugh at him and quickly said, "That's not the case."

Gu Mingheng would not laugh at her at all. He waited until she had wiped her hands before asking, "Are you okay?"

"fine."

Ming Jin returned to his usual self. After smiling at him, he asked, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say? If not, we will go back first."

However, Gu Mingheng seemed to be able to sense her subtle changes.

Although she looked the same as usual, he felt something was wrong. But when he saw Ming Jin smiling at him, he couldn't tell what was different. He didn't know what to say, so he looked at Ming Jin and said, "I'll take you there."

"Need not."

Ming Jin refused directly: "My fifth sister and I want to go shopping for a while longer."

After hearing her say this, Gu Mingheng did not insist.

Anyway, Mingjin has Ying Ge following her now, so ordinary scoundrels don't dare to act rashly in front of her.

"Then be careful on the road."

Ming Jin nodded to him, said goodbye to Zhang Shouyi, and was about to leave with Ming Sheng when he was suddenly stopped by Gu Mingheng.

Mingjin stopped and looked back.

Then she saw Gu Mingheng handing her an orange.

The orange skin has been peeled, but the bottom is still preserved, and there is a whole orange inside.

Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin in a daze, and said to Mingjin in a gentle voice: "I saw that you enjoyed what you ate just now, so I peeled one for you. You can take it back and eat it."

I didn't hear Mingjin speak.

Gu Mingheng looked hesitant for a moment, and his voice became hesitant: "... Don't you like it?"

"If you don't like it, forget it..."

As Gu Mingheng said this, he wanted to take his hand back, and the orange in his palm was taken over by Mingjin.

"like."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"fine."

Gu Mingheng looked at Mingjin and smiled again.

Ming Jin glanced at him, then lowered her eyes again. She held the orange lightly in her hand, nodded to him again, and then left with Ming Sheng.

Go outside.

Brother Ying saw them coming out and walked over.

Ming Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

She was still not used to being around such big shots, but now that she was out, she felt better.

If it were normal.

Seeing Ming Sheng so relieved, Ming Jin would definitely laugh and ask her why she was still so timid.

But today Mingjin said nothing.

Ming Sheng didn't feel anything, but looked relieved. He said to Ming Jin, "Seventh sister, where else are we going to go?"

Ming Jin heard her voice, and said to her, "No, let's go home first."

She was just making up an excuse.

After thinking about it, he asked Ming Sheng again: "Or is there any place you want to go?"

Ming Sheng seldom goes out and doesn’t have any particular place she wants to go. Besides, they are already tired from shopping today.

She smiled and shook her head: "No, let's go back. I'm tired too."

Mingjin agreed.

After walking to the long street, the two got on the carriage back to the Princess's Mansion.

The orange was still on the table, uneaten.

Brother Ying is outside.

There were only two sisters inside.

Ming Sheng took the initiative to take over the job of pouring tea.

When she poured tea for Mingjin, she saw the orange and smiled: "I didn't expect the prince to be so gentle."

Ming Jin hummed softly: "He is very good."

Ming Sheng smiled and said, "I went to the banquet before and heard that His Majesty and the Queen were selecting some girls for the prince. They wanted to let the prince take a good look at them during the Queen's Thousand Years Banquet."

She didn't notice that Mingjin paused in drinking tea.
