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

"what?"

It was quarter of an hour later that Mingjin received the news.

Brother Ying came back on horseback.

At that time, Mingjin was practicing calligraphy by the window, using the copybook that Gu Mingheng wrote for her. She used to practice calligraphy with her second aunt and was good at the small regular script with hairpin flowers commonly used by noble ladies. She had thought that Gu Mingheng's handwriting was smooth and free and unrestrained, so she thought about copying it and learning from it.

Gu Mingheng personally wrote a copybook for her and gave it to her.

Ming Jin practiced for a few days and saw quite some results.

These days, when she had nothing to do, she would practice calligraphy in her room.

Only after listening to Brother Ying's narration about what happened on West Street did I feel a little surprised.

She looked up at Yingge.

This matter was not revealed in the previous life, so Mingjin naturally didn't know about it.

At this time, besides her and Brother Ying, there were also Aunt Pei, Hua Sui and Chun Yu in the room.

After hearing this, Hua Sui and Chun Yu opened their eyes wide in disbelief, and even Aunt Pei looked shocked.

After a while, she sighed and said, "It's hard to change a person's nature. It seems that she was not a good person from the beginning."

something.

Others may not know, but Aunt Pei is an elder in the Marquis’ Mansion, so how could she not know?

When that person got into trouble while protecting the Eighth Young Master, she had not yet left the Marquis' Mansion, so she witnessed the scene with her own eyes.

"I still remember that when she was brought back, her face was covered in blood, which frightened many people in the mansion. She was hit right on the head. The doctor who came to see her said that if it had been later, something bad would have happened."

"Now that I think about it, she is really cruel."

"It's too cruel. How old was she then?" Hua Sui couldn't help but sigh.

Mingjin did not comment much on this.

She knew that Ming Yao had always been very cruel to her. In order to make the Ming family hate her, she even jumped into the river in the middle of winter to frame her.

Thinking about it this way, it wasn't surprising that she did such things in order to stay in the Ming family when she was a child.

She didn't want to care about what happened between Ming Yao and the Ming family.

Ren Huasui and Chunyu discussed the matter, and she continued to write, but after writing only two words, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ming Jin looked up and asked, "Where did you meet Ming Yao just now?"

Brother Ying was originally planning to go down.

Hearing this, he stopped again.

Although I don't know why the master suddenly became interested again, I should still reply truthfully: "West Street."

"West Street?"

Ming Jin frowned. Based on her understanding of Ming Yao, this person hated going to places like West Street the most.

Brother Ying saw that her face was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"

The others also looked at Ming Jin.

Ming Jin did not answer but said: "Tell me everything you saw at that time."

Brother Ying had no objection.

She recalled the scene she saw on West Street at that time, and told Ming Jin truthfully, "When I went over, I happened to see the woman and the man running forward. Later, the man was stopped by the coachman of the Marquis' Mansion, and the one from Jiangyunyuan continued to run forward."

"She was beaten badly, and she didn't stop until she saw your brother."

"She was then taken away by officers and soldiers."

Ming Jin asked, "Where is Qian Shuang?"

Yingge thought about it and shook his head: "I didn't see it."

"correct--"

Ying Ge suddenly thought of something: "She is still carrying a bag."

"burden……"

Ming Jin whispered.

"Why is this man carrying the bag for no reason?" Hua Sui also asked curiously.

Ming Jin suddenly put down the brush in his hand and ordered, "Ask the doorman to prepare the car. I need to go to the Marquis' Mansion."

After she finished speaking, she walked out.

Yingge never had any objection to Mingjin's orders. After hearing her orders, he would go out immediately.

Aunt Pei and others were puzzled as to what was going on.

Seeing Mingjin's scene and expression, he thought something serious had happened, and couldn't help asking, "Master, what happened?"

"I don't know either, but Mingyao acted very strangely tonight. I was afraid something might happen."

She didn't let anyone follow her.

"Aunt, you stay here. If the prince comes to look for me, just tell him I have something to do." After thinking for a moment, she gave another instruction, "If he asks, just tell him I'm home and don't need to come over. I'll be back when I'm done."

After she finished speaking, she walked out quickly without waiting for their reaction.

Brother Ying is much faster than her.

When Mingjin arrived, the carriage was already ready.

Mingjin said nothing and got on the carriage.

Brother Ying didn't ask anything.

The carriage left the Princess's Mansion and headed towards the Marquis Anyuan's Mansion.

When she arrived at the Marquis' Mansion, half an hour had passed. When the servants saw her getting off the carriage, they were all shocked.

After he came to his senses, he hurried forward to greet her and called her "Princess".

Ming Jin ignored their greetings and asked directly, "Where is the person?"

The servants didn't know who she was asking about, but now everyone in the family was at the Princess's place, so they replied respectfully, "At the Princess's place."

Mingjin didn't say anything and took Yingge in.

As she walked by, she could almost always see gossip on the servants' faces and whispers, but when they saw her coming, they all turned respectful.

Ming Jin ignored him and walked straight towards Songcuizhai.

As soon as I entered the yard, I heard the sound of beating and a woman's screams coming from the front.

Ming Jin looked carefully and recognized it was Qian Shuang. He guessed that she was asking about Qian Shuang's tonight.

Cuiwei was standing next to the executioner.

It can be seen that it was what my grandmother meant.

Mingjin happened to have something to ask, so he walked over there.

Cuiwei was asking Qianshuang: "Tell me, why did Sixth Miss go out today? What do you want to do?"

Qian Shuang's breath was weak, but she still insisted: "I, I don't know..."

"you--"

Cuiwei was furious and was about to ask the executioner to beat her with a stick again when someone suddenly held her shoulders.

Cuiwei turned around and saw Mingjin standing behind her.

"The princess?"

she exclaimed.

When he came to his senses, he wanted to salute Mingjin.

Ming Jin reached out and supported her arm: "We don't need to care about that right now."

"What's the question?"

As she spoke, her eyes were on Qianshuang.

Qianshuang obviously also saw Mingjin.

The moment she saw Ming Jin, she felt a deep fear of Princess Changle in her bones, which made her tremble all over.

She buried her face even lower, not daring to look at Mingjin.

Cuiwei said, "Today, Madam sent someone to Jiangyun Garden to pass on a message, but when they got there, all the lights were out."

"The person who went there thought that the Sixth Miss was asleep, but then felt something was wrong, so he knocked on the door again. Unexpectedly, it was quiet inside, without any sound. Even Qian Shuang was not there. The girl felt something was wrong, so she pushed the door open, only to find that the Sixth Miss and Qian Shuang were not in the room."

"Qian Shuang was later found in the backyard, but the Sixth Miss was nowhere to be seen."

In fact, when the Eighth Young Master and his companions brought the Sixth Young Miss back home, the mansion had already sent out a group of people to look for the Sixth Young Miss.

I didn't expect to run into the Eighth Young Master and his gang, and I didn't expect something like this to happen.

Now Chen Qiang has been taken away by the soldiers, and Miss Six is ​​being interrogated inside.

But Sixth Miss said nothing.

The eldest princess asked her to interrogate Qian Shuang, but she didn't expect that this girl would still refuse to explain the reason at this time, which was really infuriating.

Cuiwei was afraid that the filthy scene here would pollute the princess' eyes, so she advised: "Princess, please go in first, and I will conduct the trial here."

Mingjin didn't listen to Cuiwei.

Not only did she not leave, she also squatted in front of Qian Shuang.

"It seems like you've gotten into a big trouble." She said to Qian Shuang.

Seeing Qianshuang's thick eyelashes suddenly tremble gently like the wings of a butterfly, Ming Jin knew that he was right.

"If it's just something that happened when we were kids, it has nothing to do with you and it doesn't involve you."

"Even if it happened tonight, you don't deserve to die."

"But I see from the way you look that you seem to be sure that you will not survive, so, what did you do?" Ming Jin's voice sounded very deep in the night.

Tonight happens to be a starless and moonless night.

Even though there were lanterns hanging high in the yard, they were flickering in the wind.

Qian Shuang had no way to avoid it now.

Even with your eyes lowered, you can still see the purple cloak Mingjin is wearing.

She was most afraid of Princess Changle.

Fear from the bottom of my heart.

Nothing good happens every time I run into Princess Changle.

But Qianshuang didn't dare to admit it.

The exact situation has not yet been resolved. If she admits it now, won't she be dead for sure?

If, if...

If something really happened to Princess Ancheng, it would surely be traced back to her and the girl soon. Since she was destined to die, why should she admit it now?

She still remembered how good the girl had been to her over the years, and didn't want to betray her at this time.

Mingjin watched the expression on her face change from struggling to determination little by little.

But he was not discouraged.

Cuiwei knew that it was impossible to persuade her, and was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable if she squatted like this for too long, so she asked someone to bring a chair for Mingjin to sit on.

Mingjin did not refuse either.

She sat on the chair and said to Qian Shuang: "I know you are a loyal servant, but do you know where they caught Ming Yao?"

Qian Shuang said nothing, kept her mouth shut, and even closed her eyes.

Cuiwei couldn't help but get angry when she saw her dead look.

"The princess asked you a question and you dared to pretend to be dead!" she scolded.

Ming Jin was not affected and continued to look at Qian Shuang and said, "West Street, they caught Ming Yao in West Street."

"I think, given Mingyao's personality, you two shouldn't have made the appointment there in the first place."

This time, Qianshuang finally reacted.

"Why is the girl there?" she asked in surprise.

Lihua Inn and West Street are two different places! They are very different!

She looked at Mingjin and felt that the princess was deceiving her. Her expression changed. When she wanted to keep her mouth shut, she heard Mingjin say, "There's no need for me to lie to you with such an established fact."

"If you don't believe it, you can ask someone else."

"But I think you would also think that we are in collusion."

Mingjin said exactly what Qianshuang was thinking.

"So I'm not going to look for anyone. I just want to tell you, if Mingyao really wants to escape, do you think she will go to a place she used to go, or a place she hasn't been to in these years?"

Qianshuang didn't want to think about it, but her mind didn't follow her.

Her expression suddenly changed.

Before this, she had never thought that the girl was lying to her, but now after hearing what the princess said, even if Qian Shuang was unwilling to admit it, she had to admit that it was normal to find the girl on West Street.

That was the way the girl originally wanted to escape!

But she, but she...

"She carried all the jewelry and money on herself. What about you? What do you have?" Ming Jin continued.

Qianshuang thought about it carefully.

She thought of the time when the girl said, "You won't be suspected if you go out, but it's inconvenient to carry things with you. I'll go out quietly first, and then I'll wait for you at the inn. Tomorrow we'll pawn our things, exchange them for money, and leave immediately!"

"Qian Shuang, you are the only person in this world that I can trust now."

"We can call each other sisters from now on. We can go to a place where no one knows us, buy a small house and do some small business."

She believed it.

So she sent her out without any hesitation.

Even now he is still hiding it from her.

Tears suddenly couldn't stop falling. Unlike the pain she had just suffered from being beaten with a stick, her heart was twitching at this moment, and it was more of a psychological pain.

"Girl, you lied to me!"

After she wailed, she finally stopped hiding it.

She wiped her tears and told Mingyao what happened today and why she ran away.

Except for Mingjin and Yingge, the rest of the Ming family almost fainted after hearing the news.

They never imagined that this matter was actually related to Princess Ancheng!

it's over...

It's over!

Even Cuiwei, who was usually calm and steady, began to sway slightly at this moment.

After she was helped to stand steadily, she disregarded her status for the first time and held Mingjin's arm, just like a drowning person holding onto a piece of driftwood.

Her face was pale, and she asked in a trembling voice: "Princess, Princess...what should we do? What should we do?"

"If something really happens to Princess An Cheng, we're done for!"

Even if they don't know about this.

But the Sixth Miss’s surname is still Ming after all!

If something really happens to Princess Ancheng, there is no guarantee that the person on the throne will not be affected by them!

Mingjin said nothing.

She was also in a state of confusion at this moment.

Mingyao is really brave——

It's no use regretting now. The most important thing is to see how to solve this problem.

She thought back to what Qian Shuang had just said and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

"You just said that someone from the Xiao family sent an invitation to Mingyao?" she asked Qianshuang.

Qian Shuang nodded: "I went to get information and heard it at the gatehouse."

Ming Jin asked, "He just sent a note asking Ming Yao to go to Xiao's house tomorrow, and didn't say anything else?"

Qian Shuang was stunned by the question.

But thinking back to the scene at the concierge, she nodded: "This is what I heard."

"This isn't right."

Mingjin said directly.

"Since they knew that Gu Jiarou's disappearance was related to Mingyao, why did they just send someone to deliver the note instead of calling Mingyao to ask directly?"

"If you say so..."

Qian Shuang finally realized that something was wrong after hearing those words tonight.

She hesitated and said, "At that time, it seemed that they came to find out whether the young lady was in the mansion."

Yes.

This is what Mingjin felt was wrong.

"why?"

Cuiwei also realized something was wrong.

"The princess is missing, which is a big deal. Since the Xiao family has traced the matter to Miss Six, why don't they go to Miss Six to ask for clarification? Instead, they just left after finding out the news?"

"unless……"

"Unless they did this just to confirm whether Mingyao is still alive." Ming Jin took over the conversation in a deep voice.

Now even Brother Ying looked over.

Cuiwei and Qianshuang even exclaimed: "Why?"

Ming Jin stood up with a cold face.

"Then we have to ask the Xiao family."

She already had a guess in her mind, but she had no evidence.

"Brother Ying, go to the Xiao family and find out now." Thinking that Brother Ying was not familiar with the layout of Kyoto, she was about to ask Cuiwei to find a guard to take her with her.

Unexpectedly, Wu Ji came at this time.

"The princess!"

After Wu Ji was brought in, he greeted Ming Jin.

Ming Jin looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wu Ji said truthfully: "The prince was afraid that something might happen to you, so he asked his subordinates to come and protect you."

Mingjin's heart suddenly felt warm.

He knew that she didn't want him to get involved in all this trouble, so she didn't come over. But he was still worried about her and afraid that something might happen to her, so he sent Wu Ji to help her.

But now is not the time to think about children's love affairs.

Soon, Ming Jin calmed down and said to Wu Ji, "You came at the right time. You and Brother Ying should go to the residence of Minister of Rites Xiao Jian to see if there is anything wrong."

Wu Ji is also a person who follows orders.

He didn't ask what was wrong and responded immediately.

He and Brother Ying were both highly skilled in martial arts, so they did not go through the main gate but directly left the yard using their lightness skills.

Mingjin watched them leave and did not delay any longer. He told Cuiwei to report to the police.

"What about Princess Ancheng..." Cuiwei was still a little scared.

Ming Jin groaned: "Call the people first. No matter what happened to Gu Jiarou, Mingyao can no longer stay in our house."

Cuiwei responded and went down to give orders.

Ming Jin turned and walked towards the main house. Now she could only hope that Ying Ge and Wu Ji could find out what she wished, otherwise their family might really be dragged down by Ming Yao.
