Mingyao had ulterior motives all the way and was like a frightened bird.

At this moment, someone suddenly grabbed her shoulders and she couldn't help screaming. Until she heard that vulgar name, she suddenly felt strange.

Whether it is the Marquis' Mansion or the Xiao Mansion, even the servants have been screened and trained layer by layer. How could there be such vulgar people?

She opened her eyes, still hiding fear in them, and turned to look at the person behind her.

This look——

But it made her open her eyes even wider in horror.

"you you……!"

She looked at the person behind her in disbelief, and her voice began to tremble.

Even though ten years have passed.

But the childhood memories are still very impressive to Mingyao.

Especially recently, she often dreams about her childhood when she was begging outside.

Even when she was disliked by the Ming family a while ago, she couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Fortunately, she was grateful to Ming Jingrang for saving her life. For this reason, a family as old-fashioned and conservative as the Ming family would never really ignore her.

But she never expected that Chen Qiang was still alive.

How come he is still alive?

How can he still be alive!

Naturally, she didn't know about Chen Qiang's experience.

When she woke up, she casually asked her brother what happened to the man who beat her.

At that time, her brother said that he had been thrown into jail, and told her not to worry, as such a person would never be released again.

She was young at that time and had no foundation.

After hearing what my brother said, I naturally believed it, but I didn't have long enough hands to go to the prison to investigate.

In fact, she was still afraid in the first few years.

She was afraid that Chen Qiang was not dead, and that he would talk nonsense and ruin everything she had finally achieved.

But as time went by, her life became more and more peaceful. She naturally thought that Chen Qiang had died long ago. She never expected that he would suddenly appear at this time!

Ming Yao was so shocked that she couldn't help asking, "Why are you here? Aren't you..." As soon as she said this, she felt something was wrong.

If it were normal times, would she be like this?

She had been frightened so many times recently that she couldn't take care of the whole thing.

Whatever comes to mind, comes out immediately.

It was too late to say that Chen Qiang had recognized the wrong person.

Before Ming Yao could even start to argue, Chen Qiang, who was already drunk and hated Ming Yao, immediately shouted angrily: "I knew you, a bitch, must be hoping for my death!"

He then sneered again: "But I, your grandfather, am lucky and have a long life. I survived!"

As he spoke, he slapped Mingyao hard on the face with his hand.

If it were any other noble lady, or if Ming Yao was not so panicked today and had people with her, Chen Qiang would naturally not dare to do this.

Everyone has bad habits.

Especially people like Chen Qiang, who are best at bullying the weak.

But Mingyao didn't bring anyone with her today, and she was in a panic. Her eyes were particularly evasive when she looked at him, just like when she was a child and had to beg for a living at his disposal.

Seeing her like this, how could Chen Qiang be afraid of her?

I just feel that she is still the little beggar who let him beat and scold her when she was a child.

Even though people around him pointed fingers at him, he still beat her. He held Mingyao's arm with one hand and slapped her in the face with his other palm like a palm leaf fan. Hearing Mingyao crying, Chen Qiang shouted at the people who were talking and trying to stop him, "What are you looking at? What are you looking at? I'm teaching my daughter a lesson, it's none of your business!"

"No, I'm not!"

Ming Yao was stunned at first and couldn't even speak. But when she heard what Chen Qiang said, she immediately started to argue.

The onlookers didn't believe it either.

Judging from the woman's clothes, she was from a wealthy family. The gold hairpin on her head would probably be enough to support them for several years.

On the other hand, this man looked extremely vicious, just like a gangster.

These two don't look like father and daughter at all.

But Chen Qiang was full of hostility, and when he looked at them fiercely, it looked as if he could eat them.

Naturally, the common people did not dare to approach.

"Chen Qiang!"

Chen Qiang's friend squeezed over from the crowd at this time. His expression changed when he saw this scene. After guessing the identity of the woman, he was about to pull her away.

After seeing him, Chen Qiang calmed down a little.

He asked his friend to wait, and then slapped Ming Yao who was still struggling. After she finally shut up and calmed down, Chen Qiang said to the onlookers: "Don't disbelieve it, this little bitch is my daughter, but she is not my biological daughter."

"But the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of a parent. I provide her with food and drink, so why am I not her father?"

"Also, don't be fooled by her well-dressed appearance. In fact, it's all a fraud!"

"Come on, bitch, tell me, is what I said true?" Chen Qiang said as he grabbed Ming Yao's chin and made her face the crowd.

But how could Mingyao say anything at this time?

Her face was swollen from being beaten, her ears were buzzing, and she felt dizzy.

If Chen Qiang hadn't supported her, she would probably have fallen down.

Besides, she was afraid of being seen.

At this moment, he said nothing, only looked away and wanted to bury his face.

The onlookers didn’t know whether to believe it or not.

But in this situation, they didn't dare to interfere.

Chen Qiang said to his friend, "Old Four, thank you for today. I have something else to do. I will talk to you later."

"Chen Qiang..."

My friend looked worried, and it was obvious that he was still a little concerned.

Chen Qiang smiled at him.

He didn't want to implicate his good friend, so he planned to find a quiet place to teach this bitch a lesson, then ask her for a large sum of money, and then completely leave this damn place, the capital.

"Don't worry, I know it."

After he finished talking to his friend, he wanted to grab Mingyao and leave.

After all, there are a lot of people here, and there are also patrolling officers and soldiers. If the situation gets out of hand, it will be difficult to deal with it later.

He doesn't want to go to jail again.

"go!"

He grabbed Mingyao's arm and wanted to take her away.

But how could Mingyao dare to leave?

If she really left with Chen Qiang, she didn't know whether she could survive.

She shouted "Help" with all her might.

When Chen Qiang saw her like this, he became so angry that his face turned red.

This bitch finally calmed down a bit, and I thought she had learned her lesson, but unexpectedly she started making trouble again.

It's noisy here.

Mingrong, who was passing by here in a carriage, was delayed because of this.

She was invited to Dong's house today.

It’s funny to say that the Dong family, who used to not take her seriously, now treats her like a guest of honor.

Mingrong knew that this was not entirely because she knew Dong Zhiyao's habits.

Although the Dong family was nervous and afraid that she would ruin Dong Zhiyao's reputation, they did not entertain her so warmly.

But today, Mrs. Dong was almost treating her as her own daughter.

Mingrong looked at the box of gifts next to her.

These were all given to her by her future mother-in-law.

She knew very well that this was mainly due to Mingjin, because she was now engaged to the Prince of Chang'an, so people like them would also benefit from it.

Mingrong didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.

Of course she was happy.

From then on, the Dong family no longer dared to look down on her. They thought that she would have a smooth life in the Dong family.

She no longer had to worry about the Dong family bullying her in the future.

But when she thought that she could have such a life all thanks to Mingjin, her mood became a little complicated again.

She used to dislike her the most, but now everything she has is thanks to her.

How can this not make people feel complicated?

Put your hands on the box.

Suddenly, the carriage staggered forward and Mingrong almost fell out. Fortunately, Mu Jin immediately reached out and supported her.

"Girl, are you okay?" Mu Jin asked worriedly.

She almost fell down too.

Mingrong frowned and said "Nothing", then asked the driver outside in a bad mood: "What's going on?"

The driver was also unlucky.

He hadn't expected that this road would be so congested today. He glanced at the scene ahead, but couldn't see clearly because there were too many people watching over there. But he could roughly see a man pulling a woman, as if they were arguing.

"Fourth Miss, there seems to be a dispute ahead. Should we take a detour?"

"It's this late. If we take another detour, when will we be able to get home?"

Mingrong was impatient.

As she spoke, she lifted the car curtain and looked out, and sure enough, she saw a lot of people gathered in front.

So she didn't like coming to this dirty place, which was noisy and had no rules. Mingrong looked unhappy, but she didn't want to lower her status and say anything.

What's more, with so many people, it would be useless even if the title of Marquis' Mansion was used.

Mingrong was just about to ask the driver to change the route when he suddenly saw the hairpin on the girl's head in the distance.

It was a pure gold hairpin with a flower pattern on the top and each petal inlaid with various gems.

——This hairpin!!!

Mingrong's eyes suddenly widened.

In order to see more clearly, she even leaned closer to the window.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?"

Mu Jin hadn't seen it yet, but seeing Ming Rong like this, she couldn't help but wonder.

"Look at the hairpin on that woman's head, isn't it Mingyao's?" Mingrong pointed at that spot and said, "I remember that hairpin, it was given to her by my eldest brother when she was a 15-year-old!"

At that time, she was sulking for a long time because of this matter.

I wonder why Mingyao, an adopted daughter, is liked and loved by so many people.

Everything is the best.

Why is Mingyao’s hairpin here?

Mingrong couldn't figure it out, but she still wanted to find out the truth. She was in no hurry to leave and told Mujin, "Go and see what's going on over there. Say we are from Anyuan Marquis's Mansion and are here to investigate the escaped slaves in the family."

She just didn't believe that they would dare not let them pass just because of this name!

But looking at the noisy crowd over there, Mingrong was still worried, so he said, "Let the driver go with you."

Mu Jin responded and got off the carriage and went over with the coachman.

Mingyao had been beaten badly by Chen Qiang. She was in pain and scared. When she was thinking about what to do, she suddenly heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Let us go, let us go. We are from Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, and my young lady wants to see them."

Hibiscus?

When Ming Yao heard this voice and these words, she shuddered all over.

How could she have thought that Mingrong would appear here so late at night! She didn't know if Mingrong had discovered her, but Mingyao didn't dare to gamble, let alone let others discover her.

She suddenly stopped struggling.

Chen Qiang was surprised.

Before he could ask, he heard what Mu Jin said.
