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

"Why are you feeling unwell again when all of a sudden?" Zhou Zhaoru frowned when she heard this.

She had just seen Mingjin in the evening, and she didn't seem to be unwell at that time.

And Heng'er also said before that Yanyan was fine.

She told this.

After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy, so he frowned and said, "No, I'll go take a look."

This is also the meaning of Mingyuan Ferry.

However, as a man and an elder, he couldn't go directly to his daughter's boudoir, so he said to Zhou Zhaoru: "Go and take a look. Don't worry if there is anything there. We don't know."

Zhou Zhaoru nodded and was about to go out.

But Ming Jingheng, who was always obedient and sensible, suddenly stopped her and said, "...Mother, don't go."

Zhou Zhaoru was puzzled and turned to look over.

Ming Yuandu also looked surprised, not understanding what had suddenly happened to his eldest son, who had always been smart and filial.

"My little sister should be fine..." Ming Jingheng saw Ming Jin being treated with his own eyes.

If there was anything wrong with my younger sister, Court Judge Lu would know about it and it would be impossible for him not to tell her.

Unless there is only one possibility.

That means my younger sister deliberately doesn't want to come.

Looking at the suddenly ugly faces of my father and mother in the room.

"Heng'er, what do you mean?" Zhou Zhaoru's face was grim. "Are you saying Yanyan is lying to us?"

When Zhou Zhaoru said this, his tone was a little bad.

Although Ming Yuandu didn't say anything, his expression turned ugly, and he also looked at Ming Jingheng.

Ming Jingheng told the couple what happened in the corridor in the evening.

Afraid that they would misunderstand Mingyao.

Ming Jingheng did not directly say that it was Qianshuang who snatched the things. Instead, he took all the blame on himself and said that he heard that Mingyao had a poor appetite, so he gave the things to Qianshuang. He did not expect that Mingjin would see it.

After listening to this, the couple suddenly fell silent.

"This……"

Zhou Zhaoru was speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Ming Yuandu's brows furrowed even more.

Ming Jingheng lowered his eyes and said with a guilty look, "I was wrong about this. If I had bought more at the beginning, there wouldn't be such a misunderstanding. My little sister must be angry with me. I'll go talk to her later."

After all, he is their eldest son and the son that Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru are most satisfied with.

Although they had some complaints about what he did, they did not blame him.

Even Ming Yuandu just said, "Forget it, let the kitchen prepare more delicious food for Yanyan and let her eat in the house."

"Go talk to Yanyan later. You two are siblings. Don't let this alienate you."

Zhou Zhaoru went to give the order.

Just after giving the instructions, Mingyao also came. She didn't look good either, especially when she knew Mingjin didn't come to dinner, her face turned even paler.

But her family thought she was not well yet and didn't ask any further questions.

While sitting together for dinner, Mingyao was still very nervous, fearing that Mingjin would deliberately cause trouble for her because of the bag of frosted hawthorn. After all, the threat from the morning still seemed to be ringing in her ears.

So during the meal, Ming Yao thought about it and said, "Qianshuang was wrong. She shouldn't have taken that bag of hawthorns. I'll go apologize to Seventh Sister later."

The couple already knew about this in advance, but they didn't explain anything to Yao.

But they still had some complaints in their hearts.

People always favor those who are close to them and blame others.

Although this matter was indeed caused by the eldest son, if Qianshuang was a little smart, she would know who this thing was for.

She's fine.

I just accepted it after it was given to me, but it caused all these troubles and made Yanyan not even come to eat.

Ming Yuandu couldn't say this.

But as the mistress of a mansion and their mother, Zhou Zhaoru could still say something.

"Your brother was wrong in this matter, but Qian Shuang was wrong too. She has been with you for so many years, but she still doesn't have any sense at all."

"Forget it this time, but if there is a next time, I don't think she will have to stay by your side to serve you."

Mingyao didn't understand what he said.

Until a piece of her favorite fried fish was picked up by chopsticks and placed in her bowl.

She looked over with confused eyes and saw Ming Jingheng's gentle face smiling at her.

"eat first."

Ming Jingheng spoke to her in a gentle voice.

Seeing her like this, how could Mingyao not understand? Knowing that it was her brother who took this matter on her behalf, Mingyao was so moved that she almost wanted to cry.

She hasn't slept well in the past few days.

Her insomnia has become more severe than before Mingjin came back.

Her parents kept saying that nothing would change, everything would be the same as before, she was still their daughter, still the sixth young lady of the mansion.

But Mingyao is not stupid, nor is she blind.

She could see that some things had changed and were no longer the same as before.

Xiao Rang cares about her, but he acts rashly.

To be honest, Mingyao actually blamed him a little in her heart. If it wasn't for the things he did, if it wasn't for his injured leg, how could she have ended up in such a situation?

She also lost Qianrong, who had been with her since childhood.

Under such circumstances, Mingyao could not eat or sleep at night.

Qian Shuang said she had no appetite, and she wasn't trying to be pitiful, she really had no appetite.

In this situation, if she still has an appetite, then she is really too generous.

Mingyao didn't expect that her brother still treated her the same as before.

After Mingjin came back, even though it was clearly Qianshuang who did something wrong, he still took the blame for her and picked food for her as he did before.

Mingyao's eyes turned red.

She couldn't say anything, and was afraid that her red eyes would be seen by others and cause trouble.

Ming Yao lowered her eyes, lowered her voice and thanked Ming Jingheng, then buried her head in eating the fish.

Because of Ming Jingheng, Ming Yao's appetite has improved a lot.

After dinner, Ming Jingheng planned to go see his younger sister first, so he said goodbye to Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru.

Ming Yao watched him leave, and also found a reason and followed Ming Jingheng's steps and left.

"elder brother!"

As soon as Ming Jingheng walked out of the yard, he heard Ming Yao's voice coming from behind him.

Although Xiaomei was angry with him because of the bag of frosted hawthorn, Ming Jingheng's attitude towards Ming Yao remained the same.

Now look at Mingyao coming over.

He stood under a laurel tree, his eyes still smiling gently.

August.

The weather is still hot.

But the fragrance of osmanthus is already very strong.

Especially at night, when the wind blows, the rich fragrance of osmanthus makes people feel relaxed and happy, and they like it very much.

Ming Jingheng stood under the tree in white clothes, looking at Ming Yao who was walking towards him hurriedly.

Seeing her jogging, Ming Jingheng said to her softly, "Run slower, don't fall."

Mingyao finally came to him.

Looking at the tall and gentle young man in front of her, her eyes flickered unconsciously, but soon, she said to Ming Jingheng: "Brother, thank you."

She didn't dare to tell her parents that it was because of her, but she was quick to admit her mistake to Ming Jingheng.

At this moment, she looked at Ming Jingheng sincerely and said in a sincere tone: "Qian Shuang is wrong in this matter. If Seventh Sister blames you, you can put the blame on me. I will go and apologize to Seventh Sister."

Ming Jingheng didn't think that this was Ming Yao's fault.

Seeing Mingyao blaming herself, he comforted her softly, "This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to take the blame."

After saying that, seeing that Mingyao still had anxiety in her eyes, he spoke to her softly a few more words: "You are not in good health, go back and have a good rest, don't bother about this."

"Little sister, I will go and talk to you nicely."

Ming Jingheng was actually a little unsure himself, but he appeared to be very clear-headed.

"My little sister has a good temper. She won't really be mad at me."

"But she just came back after all, and she suffered too much in the past. Yaoyao, as an older sister, you should take care of your younger sister more in the future."

"If my little sister does anything to make you unhappy, don't take it to heart." Ming Jingheng thought of the scar again. Whenever he thought of that old wound, Ming Jingheng couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in his heart.

He looked apologetic.

“She hasn’t had an easy time these past few years.”

This was not the first time Mingyao had heard these words, and she had even said them more than once herself.

But seeing the guilt and sadness in her brother's eyes, Ming Yao couldn't help but clench her hands tightly on both sides of her body.

Even her little face was a little tense, and her red lips were tightly pursed.

"Yao Yao?"

Until I heard my brother's voice again.

Mingyao came back to her senses.

She looked up and saw her brother looking at her with a worried look on his face: "What's wrong with you?"

Knowing that her brother had seen her in a distracted state, Ming Yao naturally could not tell him her true thoughts. Seeing her brother looking at her, she just put on a smile again and said to Ming Jingheng, "It's okay."

"I know. I won't bother with Seventh Sister."

"Brother, go find Seventh Sister. I also need to go see Xiao Rang. He must not have taken his medicine properly when I'm not here."

Ming Jingheng then laughed again: "You go first, I'll go see Xiao Rang later."

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back under Mingyao's gaze.

Mingyao, however, had not yet set off.

She stayed where she was, watching Ming Jingheng leave.

In the moonlight, his figure became even taller and more upright, with his clothes fluttering in the wind, as if he were an immortal descending from heaven.

Ming Yao always remembers the first time she met Ming Jingheng at the Ming family.

At that time Ming Jingrang still hated her very much.

Although Zhou Zhaoru couldn't leave her, she was like a madman. He grabbed her hand very tightly every time, but she had to endure it and dared not scream.

Needless to say, the servants in the mansion treated her with such disdain.

At that time, Mingjin was still the Sixth Miss in their minds. How could they possibly like her, a person who had taken over their parents' nest?

Only Ming Jingheng...

Only he is different.

Mingyao remembered that one time, after Zhou Zhaoru fell asleep, she secretly ran outside to cry.

Ming Jingheng appeared at that time.

He stood in front of her, and although his eyes were still complicated when he looked at her, the handkerchief he handed to her was very clean.

He said to her: "Thank you so much for your help. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to my mother."

"I've already talked to Xiao Rang. He's a bit naughty. If he bullies you again in the future, come to me and I'll take care of it for you."

……

No one had ever treated her as gently as Ming Jingheng.

At that time, she wanted to be Mingyao for the first time, the real Mingyao.

She wanted a brother like Ming Jingheng, and wanted Ming Jingheng to care for her and protect her forever.

Later, she finally realized her wish.

Ming Jingheng was very nice to her.

He really treated her as his sister and really protected her.

But Mingyao found herself becoming more and more unsatisfied.

She found that she didn't want to be just his sister...

Keep going.

Mingyao's face was hidden in the shadows, her expression uncertain.

This is the biggest secret in her heart.

No one knows, not even Qianshuang.

She didn't dare let others know.

There was a moment when Mingyao felt happy when she knew Mingjin was alive and coming back.

She even thought about it naively.

If Mingjin really comes back, can she be with her brother?

But Mingyao is not a really naive person after all.

She knew very well why she had all this.

She also knew very well that she would never be able to be with Ming Jingheng in this life.

She and he either have a brother-sister relationship or no relationship at all. After going through so much, how can she bear to give up everything in front of her?

"girl?"

Qian Shuang's voice came from a distance.

Mingyao raised her eyes.

In the dark shadows, her eyes were surprisingly bright, yet also frighteningly gloomy, which actually frightened Qian Shuang.

But soon.

Mingyao walked out from the shadows, her complexion returned to normal, and Qianshuang thought she had seen it wrong.

Qian Shuang still felt a little guilty.

When she was with Mingyao, she asked, "Did the Madam and the Marquis punish you?"

Without waiting for Mingyao to speak, she said with a guilty look on her face: "This is my fault. I shouldn't have taken that bag of hawthorns."

Mingyao didn't tell her that her brother had taken care of this matter.

Hearing her ashamed tone, she just said lightly: "Forget it this time, be more careful next time."

Perhaps she realized that her tone was too cold, so she added, "You are the only one I can use right now, and you must not get into any more trouble."

When Qianshuang heard this, she was deeply moved.

Ming Yao continued to walk towards Ming Jingrang's courtyard. After a few steps, she suddenly asked, "Has the Fourth Prince returned?"

Qian Shuang replied: "Not yet."

Mingyao pursed her lips slightly.

Gu Changxuan went out on business a month ago.

She didn't know when he would come back, nor did she know what he would do when he saw this situation.

But Mingyao knew that if she couldn't marry Gu Changxuan, she would lose her value to Mingyuandu...

She already has no status now, and cannot lose her identity as the Fourth Prince's Consort.

If she lost even this identity, Mingyao could imagine what kind of miserable situation she would fall into in the future.

She couldn't let this happen!

"Send a letter to the Fourth Prince's mansion tomorrow and give it to Tong Ke. Ask him to pass it on to the Fourth Prince."
