Mingjin was surprised at his grandmother's alertness.

At this moment, his hand was held in his grandmother's warm hand. Looking at the worry and concern on the old woman's face, Mingjin's heart couldn't help but grow warmer.

She said nothing, but smiled and leaned into the old man's warm arms.

"No, nothing happened."

She didn't want to worry her grandmother with those disgusting things. To her, as long as her grandmother was fine, it was enough. As for Zhou Zhaoru or Ming Yuandu, they were really not worth mentioning in front of her grandmother.

Princess Fuhua looked at the girl in her arms and felt loving towards her.

She was originally worried that the ten years of separation would make the relationship between the two generations become strangers and alienated, and she thought about these things a lot along the way.

I didn't expect that nothing would change after we met.

Her darling is still as clingy to her as he was when they were little.

Princess Fuhua's heart softened like a spring lake. She couldn't help but hug her tighter and tighter, holding the girl in one hand and gently stroking Mingjin's head with the other.

There are many things I want to ask and many things I want to say.

But seeing the girl being so docile and dependent by her side, Princess Fuhua suddenly felt that there was nothing to say.

Just come back.

Just be safe and sound.

As for the things that happened in the past, there is no need to mention them again.

She stroked the girl's head gently and said nothing.

Just thinking of the letter sent from the palace earlier, Princess Fuhua's eyes became deep again.

Her beloved granddaughter hasn't changed, but some people have changed a lot!

Princess Fuhua did not show it directly, nor did she want to worry her precious granddaughter. But when Mingjin left and returned to her side, Princess Fuhua, who had previously made an excuse to rest, did not rest immediately, but asked someone to find Zhou Zhaoru.

She had noticed Zhou's strange behavior just now.

Especially the look she gave Yanyan before she left, it seemed as if she had something to say.

Princess Fuhua didn't know whether Yanyan refused to say it out of consideration for her feelings or out of fear.

But now that she is back, she will not let her precious granddaughter be bullied by others again!

As for the things that happened in the mansion recently, when she came, she asked Aunt Cheng to ask the people who stayed in the mansion to investigate it thoroughly.

The clearer it became, the angrier she became.

The daughter-in-law is ignorant, and the son does not know the seriousness of the matter. They do not love their own daughter, but let that outsider take up Yanyan's name and identity.

"What a bastard!"

Princess Fuhua became angrier and angrier as she thought about it. She threw the handkerchief in her hand heavily to the ground. With a gloomy face, she said to the maid beside her, "Go and call Zhou to me."

She wanted to ask Zhou what she was thinking!

The maid Cuiwei was about to respond and go down, but Aunt Cheng stopped her.

"What are you doing?"

Princess Fuhua frowned and asked Aunt Cheng.

Aunt Cheng was brought out of the palace by Princess Fuhua. She had a very high status in the mansion, and even Ming Yuandu had to give her some face.

Like Mingjin's wet nurse Aunt Pei, and Mama Zhou who teaches etiquette, the three of them were previously female officials in the palace.

Over the years, Aunt Cheng accompanied Princess Fuhua from the palace to the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, and from the Marquis' Mansion to Laojun Mountain.

Aunt Cheng never married and had no children in her life, and always stayed by Princess Fuhua's side.

The two are master and servant, and also like family members.

There are some things that others dare not or are not comfortable saying to Princess Fuhua, but Aunt Cheng can say a few words.

At this time, she asked Cuiwei to pick up the handkerchief on the ground, and said to Princess Fuhua in a gentle voice: "You have been away for so many years, and you finally came back today. As soon as you came, you called the eldest lady to lecture you. Will you still be the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future?"

"You are not going to leave this time. We will meet again soon. Not to mention that the Marquis and the Prince are embarrassed to see you, let alone the young lady. What do you plan to let her do in the future?"

These words made Princess Fuhua frown.

She naturally knew that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was the most difficult. Even a small thing could cause some trouble. If she really called Zhou to give her a lecture, she was afraid that they would not be able to get along well as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the future.

She didn't care.

Over the years, she understood Zhou more and more, and the more she understood, the less she wanted to associate with her.

But Zhou was the mistress of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion after all, in charge of the household affairs, and she was also the biological mother of Heng'er and Yanyan.

She still has to give her some face.

"When the Marquis comes back at night, you can talk to him. As for the eldest lady, the Marquis will naturally pass on the message." Aunt Cheng knew that she was unhappy, so she comforted her in this way.

Princess Fuhua was silent for a while, and finally gave up.

She sighed, "Forget it, I'll do as you say. When my evil creature comes back, you can let him come to see me immediately!"

"I want to ask if he has really lost his mind!"

Aunt Cheng looked helpless, but she didn't know what to say, so she just nodded softly.

After coaxing the old man to sleep, she thought of the things the old man had prepared for the girl along the way, and decided to go to the girl's residence in person.

She asked someone to carry the things to Mingyue Garden.

On the other side, Ming Jin was also on his way back to Ming Yue Garden. On the way, Hua Sui was still a little indignant: "Why didn't you tell the old lady what the Marquis's wife said to you."

She is still angry.

I wish the old lady would take charge of the girl and give the marquis’ wife a good lesson.

Mingjin smiled.

She was in a good mood because her grandmother came back, and the disgust she felt for Zhou Zhaoru also dissipated a lot.

She smiled and said, "Grandma just came back, there's no need to make her unhappy."

Hua Sui wanted to say something else when he suddenly saw Jing Yue in the yard.

The anger on her face paused, and she suddenly lowered her voice and said to Ming Jin beside her: "Girl, look."

Ming Jin hummed, his tone rising slightly with confusion.

But as he followed Hua Sui's gaze, the smile on Ming Jin's face gradually faded, and then turned into indifference bit by bit.

Jingyue also saw Mingjin.

When she saw the indifference on Seventh Girl's face, Jingyue couldn't help but shudder when she recalled what the girl had said to the lady in the carriage.

When the maids in the yard looked at Ming Jin and started to pay their respects, she realized what was happening and followed them in paying their respects, calling softly, "Seventh Miss."

Mingjin ignored her, but didn't do anything to Jingyue either.

It was Chunyu who heard the noise and came out.

When she saw Mingjin coming back, she immediately called out "Miss" in a low voice. When Mingjin came over, she lowered her voice and said to Mingjin, "Madam has been here for a while. I can see that Madam is not in a good mood."

In the second half of the sentence, Chunyu spoke very lightly.

She didn't know what happened today, but seeing that Zhou Zhaoru looked very bad, she wanted to remind the girl first.

Ming Jin nodded lightly but didn't say much.

Chunyu saw that her expression remained the same, but Huasui behind her had a cold face and resentment in his eyes.

She was slightly startled by what she saw.

I don't understand what happened, but it's not a good time to ask.

Chunyu suppressed his thoughts and was about to follow Huasui and the girl inside, but someone said, "You stay outside."

"girl--"

Hua Sui refused, fearing that she would suffer a loss.

But Ming Jin just left two words: "Be obedient." Then he walked in.

The two had no choice but to stay.

After watching Mingjin go in and seeing that he was gone, Chunyu couldn't help but ask Huasui: "What happened?"

Hua Sui naturally wouldn't hide it from her.

Just as she was about to speak, she caught a glimpse of Jingyue looking at her from the corner of her eye.

Hua Sui's face immediately turned cold and he pulled Chun Yu to the other side to talk.

After hearing this, Chunyu's face changed and she remained silent.

Qing Xin, who was hiding in the tree, also heard these words, and his face gradually darkened.

He was instructed by the prince to protect the girl's safety, but there are differences between men and women, so naturally there are times when he cannot take care of her.

Therefore, on weekdays, he would only follow the girl from a distance when she went out, in order to prevent her from doing anything wrong.

But like today they were sitting in a carriage, with guards following them in front and behind.

No matter how skilled Qing Xin was in martial arts, it was impossible for him to follow closely, let alone hear what was said in the carriage.

After hearing this, he was naturally as angry as Hua Sui and Chun Yu below.

And in the house.

Zhou Zhaoru had been sitting there for two quarters of an hour and was already getting a little impatient.

Finally saw Mingjin come back.

She was about to speak, and before she could even utter the word "Yanyan", she saw the girl walk past her and go to the shelf nearby to wash her hands.

Without even a greeting, let alone a pay of respect, Zhou Zhaoru's face immediately turned ugly.

"What are your rules?" Zhou Zhaoru clenched his hands and asked Ming Jin in a deep voice.

She waited here on purpose, firstly to ask Yanyan if she had said anything wrong to her grandmother, and secondly to apologize to Yanyan.

As time passed, the previous anger gradually dissipated, and Zhou Zhaoru began to feel somewhat sorry for Ming Jin.

Although Yanyan was very naughty today, so naughty that it made her angry.

But what she said today was indeed a bit inappropriate, and she didn't consider Yanyan's feelings at all.

So she took the initiative to come over and try to ease the relationship with Yanyan.

But Zhou Zhaoru never expected that even though she was so humble, Yanyan still dared to give her a cold shoulder.

How could Zhou Zhaoru tolerate this?

Her face darkened almost instantly.

"Ming Jin, I'm talking to you! Can you hear me?" She called Ming Jin's name directly, and was obviously extremely angry.

But Mingjin still ignored him and just wiped his hands with a handkerchief.

A snap——

Zhou Zhaoru was really angry this time.

Looking at the girl who ignored her, she was so angry that she was shaking all over. Without thinking, she picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it heavily to the ground.

The teacup hit the ground and broke into pieces.

Finally, Ming Jin raised his eyebrows and looked over.

And outside.

Aunt Cheng and her people just arrived.

Seeing that everyone was swarming outside, the girl's two maids were looking inside with worried looks on their faces.

"Why don't you go in?" she asked with a smile.

As soon as the voice fell, the sound of a teacup breaking was heard inside.

Aunt Cheng frowned when she heard this, and the smile on her face gradually faded.

When Hua Sui saw her coming, he felt like he saw a savior. He ran over and said to her, "Aunt, please save my daughter!"

This is very serious.

Before Aunt Cheng could ask more questions, Zhou Zhaoru's angry voice could be heard from inside: "Who are you showing your displeasure to? I just said those words to you, and you are holding a grudge against me."

"What have I done wrong? I am only thinking about your father and our family! You don't even think about us and you're getting mad at me!"

"You're really pissing me off!"

"If I had known earlier—"

"What did you know earlier?" Ming Jin suddenly turned around and said with a smile, "If I had known I had this kind of temper, I would have rather died outside, right?"

When Aunt Cheng heard this, her expression changed completely.

She didn't bother to ask and hurried in.

Zhou Zhaoru in the room also changed his expression when he heard these words.

She opened her mouth to deny it.

She also knew that her words were harsh and she didn't mean it that way.

But looking at the cold eyes of the girl when she looked at her, it was as if she was looking at a stranger, or an enemy.

This look made Zhou Zhaoru feel a little uneasy and uncomfortable.

She couldn't care about anything else for the moment. Facing Ming Jin's indifferent eyes, she answered "yes" with red eyes and gritted teeth.

The words just fell.

Aunt Cheng rushed over and shouted at her with a changed face: "Madam, please be careful with your words!"
