"Mother, why don't you speak?"

Seeing that Zhou Zhaoru kept silent for a while, his expression became uncertain and changed several times, looking like a color palette.

Mingjin sat aside and found it really funny.

The expression on his face was still pretentious, as if he was innocent and unaware.

Zhou Zhaoru couldn't help feeling embarrassed and awkward when being looked at by her clear eyes.

Of course she couldn't tell Mingjin the truth.

"No, it's okay."

"Your father went crazy for no apparent reason. How would I know why he was arguing with me?"

Zhou Zhaoru spoke, refusing to mention why Ming Yuandu quarreled with her, but her voice was not as smooth and natural as before, and her face turned away, not meeting Ming Jin's gaze.

"Okay, get up." He said this to Jingyue.

Zhou Zhaoru had cooled down his temper and it was obvious that he didn't intend to pursue the matter any further. Everything was peaceful after that.

Zhou Zhaoru didn't, and didn't dare to cause trouble for Mingjin again.

Mingjin felt happy and relaxed, just looking at the scenery outside the car window.

This was her second time going out since returning to Beijing.

Last time, in order to find Hua Sui, her mind was not on this, and naturally she did not appreciate the scenery outside.

Although Zhou Zhaoru is with me today.

But Mingjin felt quite comfortable looking at the scenery outside the window.

She half-closed her eyes and enjoyed the gentle breeze outside, but at this moment, she faced the window of a restaurant.

There happened to be a man sitting there idly.

The man was dressed in a gorgeous black suit, leaning against the window, seeming to be bored. At this moment, he was looking at the scenery below aimlessly with his eyes slightly lowered.

It's just such a coincidence.

There are so many people coming and going on this street.

Mingjin looked up and saw him, and when Gu Mingheng looked down, he only saw her.

Both of them were stunned.

This was truly a coincidence. Even Gu Mingheng didn't know that he would meet Mingjin when he went out today.

The carriage soon went away.

This moment of eye contact was just like a flash in the pan, fleeting.

Before Gu Mingheng could come to his senses, the carriage of the Marquis's Mansion drove away right under his nose. He stood up subconsciously and looked outside, but did not notice that he was still holding the teacup in his hand.

As he stood up so suddenly, half of the tea in his hand spilled out, wetting his sleeve.

To prevent the tea from spilling out of the window and landing on the vendor downstairs, Gu Mingheng quickly withdrew his hand.

He put down the teacup.

His palms were squeezing the wet sleeves, but his eyes were still looking outside.

Zhuo Qian walked in: "Master."

Seeing that Gu Mingheng's sleeves were wet, he asked in surprise: "What happened to you?"

"fine."

Gu Mingheng replied casually.

At this moment, the carriage had completely disappeared from his sight and could no longer be seen.

Zhuo Qian didn't know what he had just seen. Seeing that his master was fine, he continued to report, "Wu Ji came to report that the Crown Prince had come to our house and had been waiting for you for a while."

Gu Mingheng couldn't help but frown when he heard the name.

But after a while, he returned to normal and hummed softly.

"Let's go."

He said and walked out.

……

And at this time inside the carriage.

Seeing Ming Jin sitting there, lost in thought, Zhou Zhaoru frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ming Jin heard this, came back to his senses and smiled, "It's okay."

Naturally, she would not tell Zhou Zhaoru who she had just seen, and she was even surprised at her previous distraction.

We are all in the capital, so what's so strange about seeing it?

She didn't take it to heart and soon put it out of her mind.

Another quarter of an hour later, they arrived at the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion.

The people from the Bo's Mansion had been waiting at the gate for a long time. Just as Zhou Zhaoru had expected, many of the neighbors had sent people out to inquire about Mingjin's situation.

Although the masters didn't come.

But a lot of servants were sent out, and they all stretched their necks to look around, wanting to see what was going on.

Zhou Zhaoru naturally would not embarrass himself in front of outsiders.

After getting off the carriage, she took Mingjin's arm and acted like a very affectionate mother and daughter.

Ming Jin watched her acting but didn't say anything.

It doesn’t matter what happens in private, but Ming Jin doesn’t want to be criticized when it comes to public.

Filial piety is greater than heaven.

In his previous life, Ming Jin was often suppressed and unable to raise his head because of this.

She also had a perfect smile on her face.

What caught everyone's eyes were two similar faces, one big and one small.

Not to mention outsiders, even the people in Qingyuan Earl's Mansion were stunned.

The woman leading the way standing at the gate was the housekeeper in the room of Mrs. Feng, the wife of the Earl of Qingyuan. Her surname was Zhang.

She stared at the two faces in front of her, lost in thought.

It was not until Zhou Zhaoru coughed lightly that she came back to her senses. She hurriedly exclaimed, and came over with a smile: "My aunt and cousin are back. Madam sent me out early in the morning to wait for you, just in case I neglected you."

As she spoke, she secretly looked at Mingjin.

Seeing the beautiful girl in front of him, calm and composed, he was secretly shocked.

While others were watching, Zhou Zhaoru was also observing secretly.

Seeing Yanyan's decent, dignified and generous demeanor, she was naturally very satisfied, especially when she saw the amazed expressions of the people around her, she felt even more happy.

It was as if the rift in the carriage just now had never happened.

She held Mingjin's arm affectionately, looking like she was cherishing him, and then asked Zhang's mother in front of her with a smile: "Where is my sister-in-law?"

Mother Zhang quickly replied, "Madam just went to the kitchen."

Zhou Zhaoru didn't take it seriously. He asked someone to lead the way while he continued to walk into the Bo's Mansion holding Mingjin's arm.

Feng has also received the news.

She was waiting for the mother and daughter in front of the moon gate at the second entrance.

In addition to Feng, there were also several young ladies from the Bo family.

Feng has only one son and one daughter. The son is Zhou Xun, who is eighteen years old this year. He has accomplished nothing and is a well-known playboy in the capital. The daughter is Zhou Shuangyue, who is sixteen years old this year. She is relatively well-behaved and obedient.

Zhou Zhaoru's elder brother is a good-for-nothing who loves fun and beauty.

The Qingyuan Earl's Mansion doesn't have much else, but it does have quite a few children. In addition to Zhou Xun and Zhou Shuangyue, the legitimate siblings, the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion also has four illegitimate daughters and one illegitimate son.

At this time, Feng led a group of young ladies from the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion, along with their maids and mothers, and the group of people stood in a crowd.

They also stretched their necks and looked forward.

When Feng saw them coming, although the nimble ear-reporter had already reported the news, Feng looked at the mother and daughter who were walking towards her, looked at their very similar faces, and Zhou Zhaoru's look of intimacy and care.

Feng's eyes flickered.

Before they could get closer, she came over with a smile.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time. Finally, you've arrived." After Feng said this to Zhou Zhaoru with a smile, they turned all their attention to Mingjin.

This look.

Feng couldn't help but reveal a hint of surprise in her eyes.

At first I was far away and couldn't see clearly, but from a distance I felt that the mother and daughter looked very similar.

When I got closer, I realized that the mother and daughter looked alike, but also alike.

The facial features and looks are indeed carved from the same mold, but the temperament is very different.

Her sister-in-law is beautiful. Whenever she walks with others, she is always the standout among the crowd.

But compared to the girl next to him, there was always something missing.

She is not as good-looking as this girl, nor as stunning as her.

"My dear, you have suffered so much." Feng said, and suddenly she hugged Mingjin in her arms with great fanfare.

"When I first heard that you were lost, I couldn't eat or sleep well. Over the years, I have donated money to the temple, hoping that you would come back."

"Thank God, I finally got you back!"

Feng was also very capable. She could cry as soon as she said she would. In a short while, her eyes were red and she was muttering "Amitabha" and "Buddha bless you".

Zhou Zhaoru's hands suddenly felt empty.

Looking at Feng's appearance again, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.

She and her sister-in-law never got along.

But her sister-in-law acted like this, making her, her own mother, feel embarrassed and embarrassed.

Everyone knows that she was ill in her early years and recognized the wrong person, and she is still staying at home.

Zhou Zhaoru's face turned a little bad again.

She was about to speak when her arm was held by another person.

Zhou Zhaoru looked over and saw that it was her niece.

Her niece is a well-behaved and obedient person. In the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion, this niece is the one that suits her best.

Seeing her standing beside her with a well-behaved look on her face, she called her "Auntie" in a soft voice.

Zhou Zhaoru's anger gradually dissipated, and he no longer bothered with Feng.

She also smiled and greeted Zhou Shuangyue. Seeing that Zhou Shuangyue had obviously dressed up carefully today, she smiled and said, "Shuangyue is getting more and more beautiful."

Zhou Shuangyue's face turned slightly red because of what she said.

She was a little shy, and stuck to Zhou Zhaoru. She glanced behind her and asked Zhou Zhaoru, "Aunt, didn't my cousin come?"

"Your cousin is on duty, as for your cousin——"

Zhou Zhaoru shook his head, not noticing the momentary regret in Zhou Shuangyue's eyes, and said to himself: "He broke his leg and is still recuperating at home."

"My cousin broke his leg? What happened?" Zhou Shuangyue heard this sentence right after she finished expressing her regret, and asked hurriedly and nervously.

But Zhou Zhaoru would never tell others about what happened at home, so he just made up an excuse and passed it off. Seeing Feng still talking to Yanyan, he became unhappy again: "Sister-in-law, it's sunny, let's go inside and talk."

"Hey, look at me, come on, come on, lunch is ready, let's eat first." Feng said, and then she smiled and pulled Mingjin's arm and walked forward.

Mingjin let her do as she pleased.

He didn't care at all about how Zhou Zhaoru would react.

Zhou Zhaoru looked at them leaving, they were so intimate as if they were mother and daughter, and for a moment she couldn't help feeling a little angry.

Fortunately, Zhou Shuangyue was by her side, holding her arm affectionately and calling her aunt.

She barely suppressed her discomfort and went in.
