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

Ming Jingheng saw Ming Yao as soon as he went out.

Mingyao had been standing outside for an unknown amount of time. Her face was pale and she looked not very well. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she looked as pale as a ghost.

When she saw Ming Jingheng coming out, she immediately walked up to him eagerly and called him "Brother".

Ming Jingheng stopped when he heard the voice.

His tired eyes fell on Mingyao's face, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he said nothing.

The quarrel inside was so loud that Mingyao could hear it even if she was standing outside.

At this time, Ming Jingheng was looking at her silently.

The look in his eyes was not as complicated as the last time when he looked at Ming Jin after visiting her, but it still made Ming Yao feel scared.

"elder brother……"

Mingyao didn't dare to go closer for a moment.

She stopped where she was and looked at Ming Jingheng timidly.

This look finally made Ming Jingheng withdraw his gaze from her.

"When did you come?" Ming Jingheng asked her in a hoarse voice.

As he spoke, he lowered his head, rubbed his tired brows with his hands, and his whole body revealed a sense of weakness.

Mingyao didn't dare to say that she had been there for a long time, let alone that she had heard the argument between him and his mother just now.

Ming Yao could only slightly open her pale lips and whispered: "...just arrived."

Ming Jingheng hummed, and it was unclear whether he believed it or not.

"If you want to visit your mother, go in. But your mother is in a bad mood today, so don't take it to heart if she says anything to you." After Ming Jingheng finished speaking, he ignored Ming Yao, nodded to her, and prepared to leave.

"elder brother!"

Mingyao watched him leave and suddenly called him in a hurry.

Ming Jingheng stopped and looked back: "What's wrong?" His voice sounded tired.

The Prince of Anyuan, who used to be as beautiful as a jade, now looks pale as a ghost. He is in a mess because of the affairs at home and the discord between his mother and sister. How can he still look radiant?

Ming Yao looked at him, and said with pale lips: "...I, I'd better leave."

When she said this, her hands were clenched tightly and her eyes were fixed on Ming Jingheng.

"Go to Zhuangzi, or somewhere else. Send me away. I don't want my presence to cause such a mess at home, and make you so uncomfortable."

Ming Jingheng was stunned when he heard this.

He looked at Mingyao, and for a moment, he actually thought this idea was good.

If Yaoyao left, perhaps there would be no more quarrels at home.

My grandmother will no longer blame my mother, my parents will no longer quarrel, and my younger sister will be able to reconcile with my mother as before.

My heart beat twice excitedly in my chest.

But it only took two seconds, and soon Ming Jingheng saw the girl in pink opposite him.

She stood less than a few steps away from him, and her eyes, which used to be dark and full of smiles, now looked at him with tears in her eyes, as if she was trying hard to hold back the tears.

Her health is not that good.

Because of the illness he suffered from saving Xiao Rang in his early years, his body was not weak, but it was not very strong either. Whenever it was cold or rainy, he would suffer from headaches.

It will get better only if you offer various precious medicines.

Thinking of everything she had done for the family over the years, her companionship with her mother, and the injuries she had suffered in saving Xiao Rang...

Ming Jingheng couldn't help but secretly blame himself for the thought that just occurred to him.

He lowered his eyes, his gaze dimmed again, and his voice became very hoarse: "Don't let your imagination run wild. You don't need a bite of food at home, just stay here and be content."

"Can……"

Mingyao wanted to say more.

But Ming Jingheng was already exhausted: "Yaoyao, I'm tired."

"Either you go back to your own place, or go in to visit your mother. Don't say such things again. If Xiaorang hears it, he will make a scene again."

Thinking of his younger brother, Ming Jingheng also felt a headache.

The family can no longer bear such troubles.

He shook his head, and without saying a word to Mingyao, he left.

Ming Yao was left watching him leave and followed him for two steps, but she opened and closed the word "brother" in her mouth and never said it in the end.

Ming Yao just stayed where she was, watching Ming Jingheng walk further and further away.

Although he achieved his goal and was guaranteed not to be sent out of the mansion.

But Mingyao was not optimistic.

The light that lit up his brother's eyes just now was enough to prove that she had no place in his heart for a long time, and he really thought about sending her away.

My hands are so clenched that they hurt.

If you open your palm at this moment, it will definitely be covered with blood-red nail marks.

Ming Yao did not let go. She held back her tears and watched Ming Jingheng leave. Her body trembled slightly like leaves swept by the autumn wind.

Don't know how long it has been.

Mingyao took a deep breath and tried to calm her breathing.

She looked towards Zhou Zhaoru's yard again.

The servants were all trembling outside, not daring to go in or leave, while the sound of things being smashed and Zhou Zhaoru's scolding could be heard outside from time to time.

A flash of disgust passed through Mingyao's heart.

In fact, she didn't like having contact with Zhou Zhaoru, who was like a crazy woman.

Every time that happened, Zhou Zhaoru felt like a drowning person clinging to the last piece of driftwood, which made her feel suffocated.

But at this time, she didn't know who else she could rely on except Zhou Zhaoru.

Ming Jingrang is too naive.

Ming Yuandu didn't care about her at all.

My brother...there is no place for her in his heart anymore.

Except Zhou Zhaoru...

Mingyao no longer has anyone else to rely on.

She suppressed the disgust in her heart and without hesitation, she walked silently towards Zhou Zhaoru's yard, stepping on the twinkling candlelight in the yard.

The maids at the door breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her coming, and shouted happily, "The girl is here!"

But Mingyao was not moved at all by these joyful voices. Her heart was desolate, but she still had to hold back all her emotions. Just like every time before, she walked into the house anxiously and asked Zhou Zhaoru with concern: "What's wrong with mother?"

Mother Cui was comforting Zhou Zhaoru inside.

But Zhou Zhaoru was angry, how could he listen to her? She tried to persuade him, sweating profusely, but it was of no use.

Seeing Mingyao come in, Mother Cui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She hurriedly reported to Zhou Zhaoru: "Madam, the girl is here."

Zhou Zhaoru was holding a cup and was about to smash it on the ground. When he heard this, he subconsciously thought that Ming Jin had come.

She almost couldn't wait to turn her head and look outside.

Until his eyes fell on Ming Yao, the light that had suddenly ignited in Zhou Zhaoru's eyes also extinguished.

She said nothing, still holding the cup in her hand, but she didn't throw it to the ground again.

He just kept silent, breathing heavily.

Ming Yao walked over the mess on the ground and walked to Zhou Zhaoru's side. With red eyes, she advised Zhou Zhaoru: "Mother, please don't get yourself hurt by getting angry. Your health is not good to begin with. If you get hurt, what will you let your daughter do?"

This sentence finally moved Zhou Zhaoru.

She suddenly put down the teacup in her hand, turned around, hugged Mingyao and started crying.

Thinking about how she had spent that night, she was scolded by her mother-in-law, ignored by her own daughter, scolded by her husband, and even her eldest son, whom she had raised, blamed her and quarreled with her.

At this time and place, only this adopted daughter came to see her and care about her.

Zhou Zhaoru was so sad that she burst into tears: "Yaoyao, you are all I have!"

……

Ming Jin didn't know what happened to Zhou Zhaoru, nor did she care.

That night, she accompanied Princess Fuhua to dinner in Songcuizhai. After dinner, she refused to leave. She took Princess Fuhua's arm, leaned on her shoulder and said coquettishly, "I want to sleep with my grandmother like when I was a child."

Princess Fuhua naturally had no objection.

She was lonely for ten years. Although the younger generations were obedient and her second son and daughter-in-law often went to Laojun Mountain to visit her, there was still a barrier between them.

The one who is with you all year round and can talk to you is Cheng Xiu.

But after all, there is a layer of identity between them.

Now, looking at her beloved daughter who had been lost and found again, Princess Fuhua wished she could watch over her and accompany her every day. How could she refuse her request?

He immediately asked someone to get Mingjin some clean clothes.

When Mingjin saw that she agreed, he naturally smiled even more happily.

When Hua Sui came over with a change of clothes, Ming Jin and Princess Fu Hua were sitting together soaking their feet.

Mingjin asked Huasui to put down her clothes and planned to let her go back to rest.

Princess Fuhua suddenly looked at Hua Sui and said, "Are you the one who stopped Cheng Xiu today?"

Hua Sui's face turned pale when he heard this.

She knelt down without thinking, and shouted, "Princess, spare me!"

Mingjin was also a little nervous.

Although Hua Sui was helping her today, he broke the rules after all.

She was about to speak for Hua Sui, but the white-haired old man beside her smiled and said, "Why do you want to spare my life? Do you think you did something wrong today?"

When Mingjin heard her grandmother's tone, he knew that she was not angry, so he didn't say anything else and let her tease Huasui.

Hua Suiren knelt on the ground and hesitated a little when he heard this.

But after hesitating for a while, she said, "I know I broke the rules today, but I don't think I did anything wrong. I am your servant, and I can't just watch you get into trouble and do nothing."

"Even if it happens again, I will still do this!"

There was fear in her eyes, but her tone was firm.

Ming Jin looked at her like this, just like every time in his previous life when Hua Sui stood up to protect her.

Her eyes softened.

Princess Fuhua also smiled, and she said to Hua Sui, "Lift your face."

Hua Sui was still nervous, but he bit his lip and raised his tense little face.

"She is quite good-looking and worthy of you." Princess Fuhua turned around and said to Mingjin.

Seeing Mingjin smile, Princess Fuhua asked Huasui, "Where did you work before?"

Hua Sui was about to speak.

Ming Jin spoke first: "Grandma, I brought Hua Sui here from outside."

"Oh?"

Princess Fuhua looked surprised and looked at Cheng Xiu.

Aunt Cheng was also a little surprised.

This was not mentioned in the letter I received from home.

Ming Jin smiled and explained: "Once before, my granddaughter went out with someone and was bullied. It was Hua Sui who stepped forward to protect me. I was worried that she would get into trouble, so I took the initiative to bring her back home and keep her by my side."

"what?"

Princess Fuhua didn't know about this.

Hearing this, he immediately looked at Ming Jin anxiously, holding her hand and looking at her carefully: "Are you okay?"

Ming Jin smiled and let her watch, and replied: "It's been a long time since this happened, my granddaughter is fine."

Princess Fuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her say this, but her frown never relaxed.

"Where did this bastard come from? How dare you bully you!"

"Your parents are the same. They didn't even bother to send more people to protect you." Princess Fuhua looked dissatisfied again as she spoke.

This matter has nothing to do with Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru.

Ming Jin had gone out without anyone else's knowledge that time. How could she bring too many people with her and ruin her plans? Besides, she didn't like too many people following her around.

"But my granddaughter later heard that the two people who bumped into me that day were from the Sun family." Ming Jin suddenly mentioned again.

"Sun family?"

Princess Fuhua frowned: "Which Sun family?"

She hadn't been back for many years, so naturally she didn't know about the trends and changes in the capital. But before she left, she had never heard of any famous family with the surname Sun in the capital.

Aunt Cheng had always been paying attention to the developments in the capital, so she asked Ming Jin, "But what about the Sun family that produced the Right Minister and the Crown Prince's concubine?"

Ming Jin nodded: "It is this family."

Princess Fuhua saw her granddaughter beside her with a worried look on her face, as if she was worried that her actions would cause trouble for the family, so she hurriedly held her hand and said, "Don't worry."

"She is just a concubine of the Crown Prince. The Sun family doesn't have the guts to go against me."

"It would be fine if they were obedient, but if they really want to cause trouble, I will not let them off easily."

Princess Fuhua's words were very domineering.

Although she does not have royal blood, not to mention the great contributions made by the Zhuang family to the peace of Daqian over the past century, she was the one who supported the late emperor to ascend the throne.

Not to mention in this capital, even in the entire Daqian, there is no ancestor with a more noble status than her.

Normally, she is just too lazy to fight for anything with these favors.

But if she really wanted to do something, she could go anywhere with the dragon and phoenix cane bestowed by the previous emperor. Even the current emperor had to listen to her lectures.

The Sun family is just a mere family, what's so special about it?

Mingjin had never taken the Sun family seriously. He mentioned it to his grandmother at this time only because he was afraid that the Sun family would find out about Huasui and cause more trouble.

"Don't worry, I heard that the eldest son of the Sun family was imprisoned."

Seeing Princess Fuhua looking at him sideways, Mingjin smiled at her obediently and said, "Maybe you've done too many bad things and just happened to bump into someone you shouldn't have bumped into."

She was too lazy to let her grandmother get involved in these matters.

Princess Fuhua didn't say anything when she heard this.

There were as many aristocratic families in the capital as the clouds in the sky, and there were always many who took advantage of their status to do evil things. She had never liked such behavior, but she was too lazy to pay attention to it.

Since the person has been imprisoned, she is too lazy to care about it.

"He can protect his master and speak for you. He is a good one. Since you like him, keep him by your side."

Mingjin naturally smiled happily.

Hua Sui, feeling relieved, began to kowtow to Princess Fuhua "bang bang bang" without holding back, leaving red marks on his forehead.

Princess Fuhua found it funny: "He is quite honest."

Princess Fuhua felt relieved to have such a person by her granddaughter's side.

"You did a great job today. If something like this happens again in the future, remember to tell them that your master doesn't want to cause trouble, but I can't bear to see her being bullied. Do you understand?" Princess Fuhua told Hua Sui, and Hua Sui responded crisply.

She also doesn't want to see the girl being bullied!

"Get up." Princess Fuhua said again.

Hua Sui just finished thanking him and stood up.

Ming Jin suddenly looked at his grandmother and said, "There is one more thing I would like to ask for your help."
