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

Seeing that his daughter was so curious, Zhou Zhaoru thought she was just a little girl and started to gossip.

She smiled even more happily.

The difference between a daughter and a son is that when raising a son, you want him to achieve fame and make achievements, and you don't want him to know too much about the things going on in the backyard of the house, lest he only knows about those trivial things that cannot be made public all day long, which will lead to him being raised in the wrong way and becoming useless.

Just like the nephew from her mother's side.

Just like his mother, he only knows how to keep an eye on other people's business. If there is something happening in someone's home, he knows it.

When talking about gossip, his ears stand up higher than anyone else's.

However, she was useless in both civil and military affairs, with no future at all, even worse than her useless brother.

If her family had not been granted a title by her ancestors, what future could her nephew have achieved with such a useless character?

Zhou Zhaoru often worried that after his useless nephew took over the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion, the already low status of the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion would decline further.

Because of this reason, Zhou Zhaoru has not liked to visit her mother's family in recent years. She really can't stand the chaotic atmosphere in that family.

But as for my daughter, I don't have to worry so much.

Just like when you go out to a party and meet strangers, the best way to break the ice is to gossip together.

From ancient times to the present, gossip has been one of the most effective ways to win people over and make them close to you.

It’s like when everyone tells a piece of gossip together, they are in the same camp and their relationship is much closer than others.

Besides, the backyard is always a woman's world.

Sometimes, you need to know more about the secrets of each household so that you can avoid making mistakes when interacting with others.

Zhou Zhaoru and Mingyao were close in the past, and this was naturally one of the reasons. If mother and daughter talk too much about this kind of gossip, how could their relationship not be good?

These days, Zhou Zhaoru has been getting along with his biological daughter. Although Yanyan is well-behaved and sensible, Zhou Zhaoru always feels like there is something separating them.

There is no way to get to the bottom of it.

Seeing Yanyan taking the initiative to ask about this gossip, it seemed like the last bit of ice between mother and daughter was broken.

She was naturally happy to tell her daughter these things, and she also wanted her to know more about the affairs of each household in the capital.

This will make it easier for her to have an idea of ​​what to do when she goes out and interacts with others in the future.

She told Mingjin, "Yesterday, the eldest son of the Sun family was arrested by the Beijing government. They said he was suspected of trafficking, rape, and murder. Today, someone went to search the Sun family, and several women were taken away."

After this period of time, Mingyao's emotions were almost calmed down, at least it couldn't be seen on the surface.

Hearing this, she also joined in.

She frowned, looking puzzled: "Are the people in the Beijing government crazy? They don't know who is behind the Sun family? How dare they come to arrest people."

Zhou Zhaoru also said: "This is the weird thing about this matter."

"Everyone in the capital knows that Concubine Sun from the Sun family is the crown prince's favorite, and she gave birth to a son for him. Even the emperor and the queen in the palace praise Concubine Sun."

"Besides, this isn't the first time this has happened. I've never seen the Beijing government do anything like this before."

Zhou Zhaoru groaned and said, "I think someone is behind this."

Ming Jin didn't say anything, but his heart was moved.

Ming Yao, on the other hand, said in shock: "Apart from the two in the palace, who else can surpass the prince? They are obviously against the prince, could it be..."

She wondered if it was the other princes?

But this involved royal secrets after all, and it was not something they could talk about casually, so Ming Yao immediately shut her mouth.

Zhou Zhaoru said: "So I don't know what to do for the time being."

On one side is the prince, and on the other side is some unknown god. It is easy to offend people whether you invite him or not.

Zhou Zhaoru looked worried.

He caught a glimpse of his daughter's thoughtful expression and thought she was thinking about it. Although he didn't hold out hope, Zhou Zhaoru still asked, "Yanyan, do you have any good ideas?"

Mingyao on the opposite side also looked over.

Ming Jin had not thought of any plan beforehand. She was wondering who had done it. Was it really the Third Prince who was against the Crown Prince?

But for some reason, she always felt that it was not the case.

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince have been at odds for more than a day or two, and the Zheng family hasn’t cleaned up their own mess yet. Now that the Third Prince has taken action, isn’t he afraid that the Crown Prince will continue to retaliate?

Before she could figure out what was going on.

I heard Zhou Zhaoru's question first.

She didn't think much about it, and just said, "It's still early, let's see what the prince's attitude is."

"If the prince is protecting you, then please come. If he is not protecting you, then don't come."

This kind of thing was not a big deal for Ming Jin, who had been the Fourth Prince's consort for several years.

She had encountered much more trouble than this before.

But for Zhou Zhaoru, it was a pleasant surprise, and it was not because Ming Jin really came up with any good idea.

She would be able to think of this method later.

But she was originally worried that her daughter didn't understand these things and would inevitably make a fool of herself when interacting with others in the future.

Now it seems that Yanyan is actually a person with intelligence and a plan for success.

How could Zhou Zhaoru be unhappy and unhappy about this?

After all, she is her own biological daughter, born from her womb, and even thinks the same as her.

Zhou Zhaoru was very satisfied.

"Your idea is good. Let's wait and see what arrangements the prince has made. Then we can consider whether to invite this person or not." She looked at Ming Jin with a look of relief.

After saying that, he personally picked up a soup dumpling for Mingjin.

Mingjin accepted it with a smile.

She continued to wonder who was the mastermind behind this incident, and did not notice that the look in Zhou Zhao's eyes when he looked at her at this moment contained another layer of thought besides admiration.

Mingyao saw it.

But for the time being, she still couldn't figure out the truth and didn't know what was going on.

But soon, she knew.

After breakfast, Ming Jin left without chatting with Zhou Zhaoru or having any personal conversation.

Mother Cui also went with her, saying that she would arrange a maid for her.

There are still few maids in Mingyue Garden now. As the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's mansion, her appearance must not be limited to this.

This was also something Zhou Zhaoru specifically instructed.

"Jingyue, you go out first." After Mingjin and Mother Cui left, Zhou Zhaoru spoke to his maid.

Jingyue went out in response.

Soon, Mingyao and Zhou Zhaoru were the only ones left in the room.

Mingyao helped Zhou Zhaoru to sit in the warm room on the east side. She thought her mother wanted to tell her something private, but after peeling the pomegranate and waiting for a long time, she did not hear her mother's voice. However, she could feel that her mother was looking at her.

As time passed, Mingyao's heart was beating like a drum, and she became more and more uneasy.

She was used to peeling pomegranates and serving Zhou Zhaoru.

She knows best how to peel a pomegranate properly without squeezing out the juice.

But today, perhaps it was her panic that made her lose her focus, and Mingyao accidentally pinched the crystal clear pomegranate flesh with her round fingernails.

The juice splashed out all of a sudden, and some of it splashed onto her face.

"what happened?"

Zhou Zhaoru frowned when she saw the juice splashing on Mingyao's face. She took a handkerchief to wipe Mingyao's face.

Mingyao said quickly, "It's okay, Mom, I was just careless for a moment."

She was still as soft and well-behaved as usual, which was also Zhou Zhaoru's favorite look.

"Okay, you don't have to do this kind of work. Just leave it there. Jingyue will do it later." Zhou Zhaoru said, holding Mingyao's hand personally and wiping it bit by bit.

If it were any other time, Mingyao would have definitely gone over to Zhou Zhaoru and hugged his arm and acted coquettishly.

Now she is somewhat afraid to do so.

Even as her mother wiped her hands, her heart was still beating fast.

She always felt that something was going to happen.

"Yao Yao."

Suddenly, I heard my mother's voice.

Mingyao's heart was beating like a drum and she didn't hear it for a while.

Until Zhou Zhaoru frowned and called her again, Mingyao's eyes met Zhou Zhaoru's. Seeing her mother frowning at her, she was shocked and hurriedly responded, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Zhou Zhaoru looked at her well-behaved appearance and became a little hesitant again.

But the words I discussed with my husband last night are still ringing in my ears. I have to say them eventually, it’s just a matter of sooner or later.

Zhou Zhaoru put on a sincere and loving look, looked at Mingyao and asked, "Yaoyao, how do you think mother has treated you over the years?"

Mingyao said hurriedly: "Mother is naturally the best to me."

She didn't even dare to blink, nor did she dare to think rashly, and she spoke from the bottom of her heart: "What I am most grateful for in my life is that mother held my hand. Everything I have now is given to me by mother and the Marquis' Mansion. I am very grateful to mother, and also to father, eldest brother and others."

Zhou Zhaoru was very satisfied with what she heard. She touched Mingyao's head and said, "You are a sensible person. What mother likes most is your sensibility. It is much better than those debt collectors of mine."

Mingyao was in Zhou Zhaoru's arms, and her face stiffened slightly when she heard these words.

She didn't know what her mother was going to say, but she was sure it was not something good.

Zhou Zhaoru suddenly said: "Your marriage with the Fourth Prince..."
