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

Mingyao trembled all over when she was called.

She raised her head as if in disbelief, and looked at the tall and handsome Ming Jingheng in front of her with a pale face, tears welling up in her eyelashes and a light flickering in her eyes.

"elder brother……"

With a trembling voice, she called Ming Jingheng softly, almost in a whisper.

Ming Jingheng heard the voice and saw Ming Yao's pale face at this moment.

He suddenly felt a little regretful.

He also knew that he had lost his composure today. This was the first time he had used such a harsh tone to Yaoyao...

Ming Jingheng pressed his hand lightly between his brows with a tired look on his face, his voice even hoarser than before: "I'm sorry, Yaoyao, I shouldn't have been so loud with you."

"But don't say those words again. Yanyan finally came back, and she hasn't adapted to the situation at home yet. If she hears such words, I don't know how sad she will be."

Mingyao felt heartbroken when she heard him calling her Yanyan all the time.

But she didn't dare say anything more.

Looking at the exhausted and decadent young man in front of her, she also replied in a hoarse voice: "...I know."

She softly apologized to Ming Jingheng: "I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have said that to sister Yanyan. I just feel sorry for my brother. He obviously did nothing wrong..."

As she spoke, her eyes turned red again.

When Ming Jingheng heard this, he felt a little relieved.

"Brother is fine."

He put down the hand that was pinching his brow and looked at Mingyao: "As long as you are all well, brother will be relieved."

Mingyao didn't say anything.

Ming Jingheng didn't say anything more.

After a moment of silence, he changed the subject and asked Mingyao: "I want to go see Xiaorang, do you want to go?"

In the past, even if Ming Jingheng didn't say it, Ming Yao would take the initiative to bring it up. Even if she could only walk a part of the way with her brother, she would feel happy.

But today, she really couldn't muster up the energy.

Her brother's preference and her parents' plans made Mingyao feel uncertain and uneasy.

Ming Yao was afraid that she would lose her composure in front of her brother and displease him, so how could she dare to leave with Ming Jingheng at this moment?

"I won't go today. I want to go back and rest first." Ming Yao said with his head down.

Ming Jingheng didn't say much.

"Then go back and have a good rest." After he said that, he looked at Yaoyao, who was obviously not in a very good mood today, and knew that it was because of his words just now that made her sad.

Ming Jingheng looked at her in silence for a moment.

He opened his mouth to comfort her, but Yanyan's figure suddenly popped up in his mind.

Thinking of Yanyan's questioning, and the mocking and sarcastic look she occasionally gave him, Ming Jingheng's heart sank again.

In the end, I couldn't say those words of comfort.

He just looked at Ming Yao and said, "I'll go see Xiao Rang first." After Ming Jingheng said that, he withdrew his gaze and turned away.

Mingyao watched him leave like that.

Surprised and sad, she subconsciously took two steps and was about to blurt out "brother", but in the end she gritted her teeth and held it back.

She stayed where she was and watched her brother leave without looking back.

Knowing that her brother would never look back, tears finally rolled down Ming Yao's eyes, along with the growing anger in her heart.

They are all Mingjin...

Blame her!

……

Ming Jingheng went to Ming Jingrang's place.

Although Ming Jingrang was recovering from his injuries, he felt very relieved. He no longer had to go to the Imperial College to study, and his sister got what she wanted.

What's wrong with him?

The only worry is that my injured leg needs to continue to rest. I don’t know when it will heal, and it’s not very convenient to walk around.

I heard someone outside shouting "Prince".

Knowing that it was his elder brother who had come, Ming Jingrang was very happy. He leaned on the pillow and looked out, and sure enough, he saw his elder brother.

"Big brother!"

The two brothers have a very good relationship.

When Ming Jingrang saw Ming Jingheng, he smiled and shouted, his voice crisp and full of youthfulness.

He just stretched his neck to look behind him, thinking that his elder sister would appear behind his eldest brother, but when his eldest brother entered the house, there was still no familiar figure behind him.

"Where is my sister? Didn't she come with you?" Ming Jingrang asked Ming Jingheng with a surprised look on his face.

Ming Jingheng replied: "No."

"She is tired today, so I let her go back and rest first." Ming Jingheng added, fearing that his younger brother would make a fuss.

Ming Jingrang didn't make a fuss.

After all, he wasn't really a kid anymore.

He said considerately, "Sister, you have been really hard-working these days. You should have more rest."

Tian Xin came over to serve tea, put it down and went out again.

Ming Jingheng was sitting in front of Ming Jingrang's bed. He wanted to ask him about his injured leg, but when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head.

Ming Jingrang felt a scrutinizing gaze.

This kind of gaze was very strange, especially when it appeared on his eldest brother, which made Ming Jingrang feel even more strange.

"Brother, what are you doing? You're giving me goosebumps."

As he spoke, he rubbed his arms in an exaggerated manner, thinking that his brother was acting strange today.

Ming Jingheng ignored his words and asked, "Why don't you ask Yanyan?"

When Ming Jingrang heard the name, his face suddenly darkened.

"Why are you mentioning her for no reason?" Ming Jingrang was still angry with Ming Jin.

He didn't dare tell his parents.

Firstly, his parents might not believe him, and might even think he was causing trouble.

Secondly...

He himself didn't really want to say it.

Even though this woman was annoying and dislikeable, Young Master Ming was not the kind of person who would complain to his elders whenever something happened!

But for his eldest brother who had watched him grow up, he really couldn't hold it back.

He said to Ming Jingheng: "Brother, don't be fooled by her gentle and pitiful appearance, she is actually a bad person at heart!"

"You don't even know what she did to me that day!"

He was still a little angry when he talked about this, and he angrily told Ming Jin's performance that day to Ming Jingheng.

"She said one thing in public and another in private. She deceived both my parents!"

He thought that if his brother heard him say this, he would be surprised, even if he wasn't angry.

Unexpectedly, his brother's eyes were gloomy and his expression was not good, but he was directed at him.

"Brother, why are you looking at me like that?" Ming Jingrang was a little confused.

"Ming Jingrang, she is your sister!"

Ming Jingheng's tone was heavy and his voice was deep: "If you treat her well, will she treat you like this?"

"Do you think I don't know what you did? As soon as you came back, you yelled at your mother, saying that you should give Yaoyao fairness, and you deliberately made yourself look like this. I know you have a good relationship with Yaoyao, and you don't want her to be bullied."

"But Xiaorang, Yanyan is also your sister!"

"In this family, you and Yanyan should be the closest. You have been together since your mother's womb."

"How could you do this to Yanyan?"

As Ming Jingheng was talking, he thought of what Ming Jin had said to him yesterday, and his eyes began to become extremely sad again.

All his anger turned into silent smoke at this moment.

The whole person drooped listlessly.

"I have no right to say anything about you. I haven't done well myself."

Ming Jingrang was originally very angry at what Ming Jingheng said, but suddenly he noticed his brother's tone became weaker and his mood became depressed... Ming Jingrang was stunned for a moment.

It was the first time he had seen his brother like this.

Ming Jingrang frowned, and the first thing he thought of was: "Brother, did that woman do something to you too?"

The more he talked, the more it seemed possible.

"I knew this woman was not a good person!"

He wanted to say more, but was suddenly interrupted by Ming Jingheng with a cold and sullen voice: "Ming Jingrang!"

Ming Jingrang still admired and respected his brother very much. Although he was a little dissatisfied by being interrupted so loudly, he still curled his lips and kept quiet.

Ming Jingheng looked at him helplessly, and finally sighed and said, "Yanyan didn't do anything to me. It was me who felt sad and blamed myself when I saw her like this and thought about everything she had been through."

"Don't you feel sorry for her at all?"

"Did you see the wound on Yanyan's neck? Do you know what kind of life she has been living these years?"

Ming Jingrang was scolded by Ming Jingheng again and again.

His expression changed constantly. He wanted to speak several times, but stopped because he couldn't get a word in.

When he heard the last sentence, he frowned: "What wound?"

He didn't know that Mingjin had a wound on his neck.

Although he heard from Tianxin yesterday that a royal physician had come to the family, he only thought that the family had invited the doctor to check the woman's pulse.

Didn't think too much about it.

Only then did he realize that she was still injured.

What injury?

Where did the injury come from?

Who did it?

Ming Jingrang's facial expression began to turn bad.

He stared at Ming Jingheng.

Ming Jingheng did not say much about this. He did not want to talk about Yanyan's past. He just looked at Ming Jingrang and said in a deep voice: "It's not easy for Yanyan to come back alive."

"Xiao Rang, I hope you can pay more attention to Yanyan in the future. She is also your sister. She will be sad if you are so cold to her."

Ming Jingrang remained silent upon hearing this.

He didn't really hate her, he was just worried that Sister would be angry...

But looking at his brother's haggard face and what he had just said, Ming Jingrang was silent for a moment, and finally pursed his lips and agreed.

"……understood."

"As long as she doesn't bully me, I'll just give in to her in the future..."

……

Ming Jingheng entered the palace the next day and continued to serve on duty at the Yulin Guard.

Before leaving, he asked someone to send a lot of food to Mingjin, but Mingjin didn't eat it. He just gave it to the servants as a reward, pretending that he didn't know.

Ming Jingheng is not here.

Ming Jingrang's leg was still injured.

Mingjin sometimes went to Zhou Zhaoru's place for dinner, and sometimes he said that the medicine prescribed by Court Judge Lu made him sleepy and drowsy and had no energy, so he stayed in the room to eat, enjoying a leisurely and comfortable time.

After all these visits, I didn't have much contact with Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yao.

But Zhou Zhaoru has also been busy recently.

After all, she is the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion and has a lot to do.

A few more days passed.

The clothes that Madam Tan made for Mingjin are ready.

Mother Cui led people to deliver all the clothes, as well as a box of jewelry and silver.

"These are all matching jewelry. Some of them were taken out of the madam's dowry, and some were specially purchased for you by madam. They are all fashionable items in the capital."

"And this money is also the private money given to you by the Marquis and his wife. If you want to buy something, you don't have to go to the accounting office anymore."

Mother Cui sincerely hoped that the mother and daughter would get well, so she naturally spoke up for Zhou Zhaoru a lot.

Mingjin was grateful for Mother Cui's help on several occasions.

But she really couldn't like Zhou Zhaoru, and she had never thought about easing her relationship with Zhou Zhaoru in this life.

So what if Zhou Zhaoru has changed in this life?

She is no longer the Ming Jin who was obsessed with family affection.

But she didn't show it.

"Thank you, Aunt Cui, for what happened before." After Mingjin asked Chunyu to put the things away, he thanked Aunt Cui.

She was talking about what happened between Xingyue and Yingyue before.

Upon hearing this, Mother Cui smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, so it's not worth it for you to thank me in person."

The words say so.

But seeing the girl's sincere gratitude, Mother Cui was naturally happy.

No one wants to be treated coldly by others.

Fortunately, the girl is not such a person.

Mother Cui sat aside, drinking the sour plum soup that Mingjin handed to her personally.

The beginning of autumn has passed, but the day is getting hotter and hotter. It’s not the kind of heat that you get in summer, but it’s filled with an uncomfortable restlessness.

The cicadas outside were chirping louder and louder.

Amid the cicadas' chirping, Mother Cui looked at the calm girl opposite her and said, "I want to ask you something."

This is also the reason why she came here today.

Ming Jin looked at her and said, "Mom, please speak."

Mother Cui put down the teacup in her hand, looked at Mingjin and asked, "Do you still remember your wet nurse, Aunt Pei?"

She just said the name.

I saw the girl opposite me, who had been calm before, suddenly changed her expression.
