Mingjin doesn't know these things.

The next day, she woke up from a good night's sleep.

She had no dreams that night and slept soundly.

When I woke up, I saw the golden sunlight coming in through the window, and I felt that my mind had become much more open.

She hadn't had such a good sleep in a long time.

Because of the good sleep, Mingjin's eyebrows and eyes became much softer.

The maids outside heard the noise and came in to serve. When they saw Mingjin, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes involuntarily. Soon, they lowered their heads respectfully and called her "Seventh Miss".

A notice was issued in the government last night.

In the future, the one in Jiangyun Garden will still be the sixth lady, and the one who just returned home will be the seventh lady in the mansion.

Although the identity was changed.

But now, who in the mansion doesn’t know that this is the only legitimate daughter in their mansion?

"Miss, Madam sent someone to tell you early in the morning to go to the main room to eat after you wake up." The maid said respectfully to Ming Jin when she helped her up.

Ming Jin didn't refuse when he heard it.

She had to go out today, so there was no need to dwell on these trivial matters. It didn't matter where she went to eat. It was not worth it to ruin her chance to go out.

She didn't want to make things too awkward with Zhou Zhaoru and the others yet.

Finish washing and dressing.

Ming Jin took his men to Zhou Zhaoru's side.

"The young lady is here." When the servants in the yard saw her coming, they all bowed and greeted her respectfully.

Ming Jin nodded as a greeting to them.

She didn't say much either.

He nodded and walked straight into the house.

But just as she reached the door of the main house and before entering, she saw Ming Yao serving Zhou Zhaoru.

She lowered her head, looking like she was serving attentively.

She still looked a little unwell, her face was pale and her lips were bloodless.

I don’t know what I did before, but my forehead was a little sweaty.

Zhou Zhaoru was obviously still very much concerned about his adopted daughter. He couldn't bear to see her standing by his side all the time, so he quickly held her hand and asked her to sit down.

Mingyao thanked Zhou Zhaoru in a soft voice again.

Before she sat down, she heard a few respectful greetings from outside the door: "Seventh Miss."

This name is very unfamiliar.

In the past, there was only the Seventh Young Master in the mansion, so how could there be a Seventh Young Lady?

But Mingyao knew who was coming almost immediately. Her heart suddenly beat uncontrollably twice. She quickly raised her head and looked outside.

really--

The woman is here.

Saw this woman again.

Compared to the previous two times when she was so panicked that she had no time to care about anything else, today Mingyao finally saw her appearance clearly.

No wonder the servants in the mansion were whispering about her appearance on the way here today.

It's really amazing.

The girl standing outside was wearing a rose gold woven short shirt and a bright red brocade skirt with gold crocheted patterns.

There was no makeup on her face, it was clean, not even a lip balm.

But when she stood like this under the golden sunshine, it made people feel that even God favored her.

Otherwise, how could the light falling on her be so eye-catching?

Mingyao had seen many beauties before, but she never felt that she was inferior to them.

Those women are good looking.

But in this world, being good-looking and pretty are always just the icing on the cake.

She has a good family background, talent, love from her parents and brothers, and an outstanding fiancé. These points alone are enough to make her better than many people.

But at this moment, he was looking at the woman not far away.

Just by standing there, she easily attracted everyone's attention.

This made Mingyao feel as if everyone would be attracted to her and eventually abandon her.

Just at this moment, the hand that belonged to her mother and was originally placed on the back of her hand suddenly withdrew.

Mingyao's heart immediately tightened.

Not long after, her mother's gentle voice rang in her ears: "Yanyan is here, come in quickly."

Zhou Zhaoru was talking to Ming Jin outside the door with a smile, and she didn't notice that her adopted daughter was looking at her at the moment.

Look at such a mother.

The panic and fear in Mingyao's heart were once again magnified infinitely.

She once again clearly realized that the appearance of this woman would definitely take away those things that belonged to her.

The love and care of her mother, the attention of others, and her fame and status...

It might even include Gu Changxuan.

This made Mingyao anxious and restless.

She withdrew her hand that was hanging in the air and clenched her fist tightly. Afraid that others would see her, she quickly lowered her head to hide her emotions at the moment.

She thought she covered it up well.

But Mingjin has been dealing with her for so many years, how could he not know what she is thinking?

But she couldn't be bothered.

He hummed softly and went straight in.

After entering, I found that in addition to Ming Yao, Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai were also there.

They were now sitting stiffly on chairs nearby.

When they saw her come in, they both stood up and looked at Mingjin, one calling her "Seventh Sister" and the other "Seventh Sister".

Ming Jin didn't spend much time with them in his previous life, but he didn't have any hatred against them.

Hearing these words, she nodded politely and greeted them, "Fifth sister, ninth brother."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. If you don't get up, I'll send someone to call you." Zhou Zhaoru looked very intimate. Although she said this, she was not angry at all because of Mingjin's lateness.

She even stood up and took Mingjin's hand and sat down.

He asked her to sit next to him, and then asked with concern: "Did you sleep well? Is there anything you are not used to?"

Mingyao was still standing.

The position where Mingjin is sitting now is the one she used to sit in, and she was planning to sit in this position just now.

At this moment, Ming Jin took her place, and the expression on her face became stiff again for a moment.

Until she felt two pairs of eyes falling on her, Ming Yao subconsciously looked over and saw a pair of peach blossom eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Her heart suddenly trembled, and almost all the hairs on her body stood up at this moment.

But when she looked over again, she found that the pair of peach blossom eyes were cold and lonely, and not what she had seen before.

Mingyao didn't know for a moment whether she was seeing things or if it was really like that.

She didn't dare to ask.

Even under Ming Jin's gaze, she felt a little overwhelmed and wanted to turn her face away and avoid her sight.

Afraid my mother would dislike it.

Ming Yao finally gritted her teeth and greeted her: "...Seventh sister."

It was only then that Zhou Zhaoru realized that his adopted daughter had not yet sat down.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the position. When she heard Mingyao's voice, she said to her, "Why don't you sit down?"

"You are not in good health, don't look back and feel bad again."

After Mingyao responded and took a seat, Zhou Zhaoru smiled and spoke to the two of them.

She first said to Mingyao: "Yaoyao, Yanyan just came back, please help her more."

Then he turned to Mingjin and said, "Yanyan, Yaoyao has a good personality and knows a lot. If you have any questions in the future, go to her."

Finally, she said, "You should get along well with each other in the future."

After she finished speaking, Ming Yao hadn't spoken yet, but Ming Jin laughed first: "Okay."

Ming Jin said this while deliberately looking towards Zhou Zhaoru's side.

His eyes fell on Mingyao, and she smiled: "Then I'll trouble you to take good care of me in the future."

Seeing Mingjin being so well-behaved, Zhou Zhaoru felt more and more satisfied. She held Mingjin's hand and couldn't stop smiling.

But when Ming Yao heard Ming Jin's smiling words, she always felt a little uncomfortable being called by her like that.

Although the woman was smiling, there was no smile in her eyes.

This made her feel very uncomfortable.

But she didn't dare not reply.

Although she felt uncomfortable, she nodded in agreement.

Since everyone was present, Zhou Zhaoru asked people to serve the meal first, and Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai were also called over.

They were just here to keep us company.

At the same time, it was also to demonstrate Zhou Zhaoru's open-mindedness and magnanimity, and to show that she treated her illegitimate children equally.

While waiting for Jingyue and the others to prepare the meal, Zhou Zhaoru said to Mingjin, "Your father went to the morning court early in the morning and will not be back until the evening."

"Your brother has difficulty walking, so he won't eat with us."

"I've asked someone to arrange an embroiderer for you. After we finish eating, someone will come to take your measurements and make clothes for you. You can tell them if you need anything."

Ming Jin nodded and didn't say anything more.

He caught a glimpse of Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai opposite him and saw that the clothes they were wearing were also made of top-quality materials.

But one is obviously not so fashionable anymore, and the other is in the growing period, and the sleeves are a bit short.

Zhou Zhaoru was just like an ordinary woman.

Although she would not be too harsh on her husband's illegitimate children, she would not take them to heart either.

Mingjin remembered the rules of the Marquis' Mansion.

A legitimate daughter would have four new sets of clothes every month, and if there was an important occasion, she would make a separate set of clothes in advance.

But the bastard——

At most two per month.

What's more, these patterns and materials have to be selected in advance.

According to the rules of the mansion, the legitimate children will naturally be selected first, and then the illegitimate children will be chosen.

Ming Sheng and Ming Rong were both born out of wedlock.

But because Ming Sheng was too introverted, even though she was the fifth in line and the oldest among the girls, she was always overtaken by Ming Rong.

As a result, the materials and patterns Ming Sheng received every month were either old and outdated, not suitable for her age, or outdated.

Thinking of the bad things she had experienced in her previous life.

Ming Jin deliberately looked at Zhou Zhaoru and asked, "Am I the only one who has it? Don't the other sisters and brothers have it?"

Zhou Zhaoru was stunned by the question.

She really didn't consider others beforehand, at most she just helped Yaoyao make a few sets.

After all, these two are her babies.

But looking at the girl's conflicted and cautious face, it seemed as if he would be isolated if he took advantage of her.

Zhou Zhaoru couldn't bear to see his daughter like this.

It was just a few sets of clothes, so Zhou Zhaoru didn't hesitate and quickly said, "You guys should follow Yanyan and make some clothes together."

Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai were surprised, but soon became delighted.

They hurriedly said to Zhou Zhaoru: "Thank you, mother!"

Zhou Zhaoru had a cold expression on his face.

She naturally had no shortage of thanks from her illegitimate sons and daughters, so she just said, "No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Yanyan."

Although she didn't like Yanyan getting too close to these illegitimate children.

But since she liked them, she was happy to help her promote them, which could also be regarded as building a good reputation for Yanyan.

Ming Jinghuai and Ming Sheng thanked Ming Jin again.

Ming Jin naturally did not need the thanks, so upon hearing that, he just nodded lightly.

Everyone here is in harmony, except Ming Yao, who sits there alone, as if isolated, and doesn't say a word.
