When Mother Cui went to get the person, Ming Jin and his group were sitting in the room that Ming Jingrang had given them.

Zhou Zhaoru was determined to clear Mingjin's name, and also wanted to let his daughter know that he had her in his heart, so naturally he did not let her leave.

As for Mingyuan Ferry——

The person who was supposed to leave did not leave first, but stayed.

The room was still quiet and no one spoke.

The servants served tea and snacks and then left. Mingjin and the other two sat on chairs, waiting for Mother Cui to bring the person over.

Only Ming Jingrang was sitting on pins and needles on the bed. He wanted to speak several times, but looking at his parents who looked unhappy, he was afraid of really angering them, so he had to grit his teeth and shut up.

In the end, he could only look towards Mingjin with indignation.

The bright-looking girl was holding a cup of tea and drinking it slowly.

She was protected by Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru.

As if she noticed his gaze, the girl looked up. Then Ming Jingrang watched the girl who had just looked pitiful and weak in front of his parents, now raised the corners of her lips without any hesitation and smiled at him slyly under his angry gaze.

How could he look pitiful and weak at all in this state?

Ming Jingrang was almost immediately irritated. He widened his eyes in anger and looked directly at Ming Jin angrily: "You——"

He was furious and slammed the bed board under him with his hand.

This commotion naturally attracted the attention of Ming Yuandu and his wife.

Ming Yuandu was the first to frown, staring in Ming Jingrang's direction, and said unhappily, "What are you making trouble for?"

Although Zhou Zhaoru didn't say anything, there was a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Ming Jingrang.

She also didn't understand what her youngest son was doing.

Ming Jingrang was so angry at this questioning that he asked, "Why don't you ask her what she just did?"

Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru frowned and looked back at the girl sitting between them.

The purple-dressed girl still looked weak and pitiful. Being looked at like this, she seemed quite uneasy. She looked at herself helplessly and bit her red lips subconsciously: "What's wrong with me?"

"Why are you pretending? How did you look at me just now?!"

Ming Jingrang was so angry when he saw her superb acting skills that he gritted his teeth and wanted to tell Ming Jin to stop pretending!

But Ming Yuandu had already frowned and didn't want to listen to Ming Jingrang anymore.

"enough!"

Ming Yuandu said angrily, "If you bully your sister again, go to the ancestral hall and think about it!"

Zhou Zhaoru ignored Ming Jingrang at this time. She also felt that her youngest son had gone too far today.

She didn't say anything at this time.

Instead, she turned around and spoke softly to Mingjin, "Yanyan, try this cake. You didn't have enough for dinner just now, did you? Mother will ask the kitchen to make another one for you and send it to your room later."

Ming Jin smiled softly and said, "Thank you, mother."

Zhou Zhaoru was even happier when he heard her say that, and he hurriedly coaxed her to eat more.

Here is a family of three, all happy.

Ming Jingrang was already furious, and when he saw this scene, he became even angrier, his face turning red and his neck thick.

The young master's temper made him want to explode immediately.

But thinking of his father's previous threats, he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

It was no big deal for him to punish me by kneeling in the ancestral hall, but if it implicated my elder sister, it would be the end of me.

He could only endure it.

It's really hard for him. He has been spoiled since he was a child, and this is the first time he has to endure such humiliation.

Most importantly, no one believes him yet!

Everyone thought he was being unreasonable and felt sorry for the woman!

He was really pissed off!

Ming Jingrang, who was used to getting what he wanted by making unreasonable demands, felt for the first time what it felt like to have pain but not be able to express it.

A quarter of an hour later, Qian Rong was brought here.

If Jingyue comes back.

"Madam, Madam Cui has brought the people back. She has also called everyone in to be lectured as you instructed."

Zhou Zhaoru nodded softly.

She put down the teacup, and before she stood up, she said softly to Mingjin, "Yanyan, let's go out and take a look."

Ming Jin was happy to watch the show, so he naturally did not refuse.

She replied softly, "Yes," then followed Zhou Zhaoru out obediently.

"mother!"

Ming Jingrang's anxious and worried voice came from behind.

If his feet could move, he would definitely follow them out.

Zhou Zhaoru paused.

Worried about his young son getting into trouble, Zhou Zhaoru turned around, looked down, and said to Ming Jingrang unhappily, "If you make trouble again, I will punish more than just Qian Rong, that little bitch."

This was said very seriously.

But the implication was also very clear. As long as Ming Jingrang behaved himself and didn't cause trouble, this matter would only fall on Qian Rong and would not involve anyone else.

Ming Jingrang was quite smart at this moment.

Hearing the hidden meaning, although he was still a little dissatisfied, he gritted his teeth and said nothing more.

At most, he just glared at Ming Jin a few more times in anger.

It's all this woman's fault!

It was all her fault!

Wait until his injury heals, and then see how she deals with him!

He thought about this with gritted teeth in his heart, but it couldn't stop his mother from walking further and further out of the house little by little.

There was already a crowd of people gathered outside.

Old women, maids, and servants were standing in three layers inside and outside, making the courtyard almost packed. Qian Rong had a pale face, and she knelt on the ground trembling like a fallen leaf swept by the autumn wind.

Hearing the noise coming from the front, she subconsciously looked up.

When she saw the person coming, her already pale face immediately became even paler.

She lowered her head again and knelt on the ground tremblingly.

"My Lord, Madam, and Miss."

Mother Cui bowed respectfully to the visitor.

The rest of the people behind them also bowed respectfully to the three of them.

Someone brought a chair and placed it behind the three of them.

Zhou Zhaoru sat down with Ming Jin, then he said with a sullen face, "I called you here today for two things."

"The first thing is to deal with this slave girl."

"My Ming family treats servants leniently and rarely treats them harshly. But this lowly servant has been allowed to become ignorant of the heavens and earth and has bad intentions. She deliberately stirs up disputes in the family."

"No matter if this slave was born in our family or not, my Ming family will never keep her!"

"Be beaten with thirty sticks and thrown out of the house."

"lady!"

Qian Rong's face turned pale immediately.

She had thought that she would be punished and was prepared for it, but she never expected that the punishment would be so severe!

I know that the lady is killing the chicken to scare the monkeys, just to clear the name of the girl beside her.

Qian Rong suddenly felt a little scared.

She raised her pale and pitiful little face and opened her mouth to speak, but when she saw the look in the lady's eyes and the warning in Jingyue's eyes, Qian Rong could only bite her lip in grievance and shut her mouth.

"Mother Cui."

Zhou Zhaoru gave another order.

Mother Cui knew what was going to happen, and immediately ordered someone to take Qian Rong aside to be punished.

Zhou Zhaoru originally wanted to give this bitch a good beating in front of everyone.

Kill one and warn one hundred.

This will also let other people know how powerful this is.

But thinking that Yanyan had just returned and not wanting her to see such a bloody scene, Zhou Zhaoru had her carried aside to be dealt with.

Soon, a woman's screams were heard from not far away.

The servants and old women present all turned pale when they heard this voice. Ming Jin lowered her eyes slightly, but no one noticed the indifference in her eyes.

From the perspective of others, they just thought that the girl couldn't bear to see such a scene.

But in fact, Mingjin was very calm.

Is Qianrong innocent?

Of course innocent.

How could she, a servant, have such courage to make decisions for her master? She was just following Mingyao's wishes and doing things for her master.

Don’t Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu know?

of course I know.

Zhou Zhaoru did this only because he was dissatisfied with Ming Yao for involving Ming Jingrang in this matter, causing Ming Jingrang to become what he is now and even turning away from them.

Of course, this is also meant to vent her anger and clear her name.

But she couldn't bear to really punish Mingyao, so she could only take this approach, using Mingyao's maid as a slap in the face, so that she would know the limits and would not dare to do it again.

Listening to the screams that were becoming weaker and weaker in the distance, Mingjin still felt very indifferent.

Qianrong is innocent, but what does it have to do with her?

Wasn’t Hua Sui treated in the same way by them in the past?

It was clearly her who displeased them, but they did not punish her directly. Instead, they made her watch Hua Sui being punished, making her realize how powerless she was.

It also made her more painful.

Now, it’s just a tit-for-tat thing.

Ming Jin continued to sit with his eyes lowered.

Zhou Zhaoru didn't look at her at this time. When the screams gradually faded away, she looked down and talked about the second thing -

"There is another happy event."

Zhou Zhaoru laughed again when she said this. She said, "My daughter, the eldest daughter of our Marquis' Mansion is finally back."

Done.

Zhou Zhaoru turned his head to look at Ming Jin, smiled and extended his hand to her.

Mingjin glanced at her and put his hand in hers.

Zhou Zhaoru smiled and held her hand, then stood up with Mingjin.

The mother and daughter, who look similar, stand together, and even their auras are very similar. They are both noble and pampered, and no one dares to underestimate them.

Although Mingyuandu did not get up.

But he also protects Mingjin like a guardian angel.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhou Zhaoru held Ming Jin's hand and said with a smile: "From now on -"

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden noise from the front.

The people who were originally surrounding the place in three layers suddenly began to move to the side.

Zhou Zhaoru was very unhappy about being interrupted suddenly. She didn't know what had happened before.

"What's going on?" She looked grim and scolded coldly.

Ming Jin looked at the chaos in front of him, but his eyes moved slightly.

It seems that someone can no longer sit still.

Sure enough, just when Mother Cui was about to check what was going on, Mingyao's beautiful and pale face appeared in everyone's eyes.

She was dressed in plain clothes, with her hair draped behind her back and tied up casually with a hairpin. It was obvious that she had been in a hurry all the way here and had even forgotten to behave properly.

She looked really terrible and pitiful at this moment.

His face was pale and he looked listless, as if he was seriously ill.

Seeing Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu at this moment, she didn't say anything, but her eyes were red and tears were boiling in her eyes: "...Dad, Mom."
