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

Mingjin returned to Anyuanhou Mansion in a carriage.

The sky gradually darkened, and the sunset turned the evening sky into a large area of ​​warm orange, dotted with colorful clouds.

Ming Jin was in a good mood and took Aunt Cheng and Hua Sui to Songcui Zhai.

When they were halfway there, they ran into Ming Yao who had just come out of Zhou Zhaoru's yard.

When they left the house in the morning, they met face to face. Unexpectedly, they met again when they came back in the evening.

It's really fate.

When the two sides met like this, Aunt Cheng and Hua Sui lowered their eyes, greeted Ming Yao, and called her "Sixth Miss" in a flat tone.

Qianshuang also immediately lowered her head and greeted Mingjin respectfully.

She was now very afraid of Mingjin, so naturally she dared not be disrespectful.

Ming Jin, however, just glanced at Ming Yao indifferently as usual, then looked away, as if he didn't want to pay any attention to Ming Yao.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Ming Yao remembered to salute Ming Jin.

Just as he bent down, before he could even utter the word "Princess", Ming Jin had already walked away with Aunt Cheng and Hua Sui, who had paid their respects.

"master……"

After Qianshuang waited for Mingjin to leave and walked a little further away, she immediately stepped forward and reached out to help up Mingyao, who was still half-squatting.

Mingyao didn't say anything.

After she stood up, she uncontrollably looked towards Mingjin, the figure that had already walked away.

Looking at Mingjin's brisk steps, she was obviously in a better mood than when she left in the morning, which showed how happy she had been that day.

Also.

How can it not be joyful?

She is now honored as a princess, with status, wealth, and a house bestowed by the emperor.

I'm afraid there is no other woman in this world who lives a happier life than her.

If she could have these, why would she be like this now?

I thought that now that I had become Gu Changxuan's concubine, I could be away from Zhou Zhaoru's control and do whatever I wanted. I didn't expect that I still had to please Concubine Xian and Zhou Zhaoru at the same time.

She even had to worry that Gu Jiarou would hold a grudge against her and make things difficult for her in the future.

Thinking of what she had just said to Zhou Zhaoru, Ming Yao couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

If you can choose.

She didn't want to watch her brother get married.

She hoped that her brother would always be her brother only, who would defend her, protect her, and indulge her forever as he did before... She didn't dare to think, if one day, she saw other women standing next to her brother, and watched him being gentle and considerate to other women, would she be able to continue to act like a good sister?

Mingyao felt her chest tighten and she felt very uncomfortable just thinking about that scene.

"master?"

Qian Shuang saw her master beside her, looking at the direction where Princess Changle left with complicated eyes.

How could she know what her master was thinking?

Even Qian Shuang, who grew up with Ming Yao, didn't know the hidden thoughts deep in Ming Yao's heart.

She only thought of herself as the master of her family, and was somewhat dissatisfied with the princess.

But things are different now.

Everyone in the family protects the Seventh Young Lady, who is also granted the title of Princess by the Emperor. If we really talk about status, even the Madam cannot compare to her.

Not to mention the girls.

If someone with ulterior motives saw the master in this state, who knows what would happen.

Now everyone in the mansion is staring at them.

Qianshuang was really afraid that her master would confront that person.

She nervously pulled Mingyao's sleeve and whispered to her, "Master, you have been running around all day and must be tired. I will help you go back and rest first."

Mingyao didn't say anything else, just nodded lightly.

"Let's go."

As she spoke, she looked away and didn't look at Mingjin again.

She knew that she would never be able to live in peace with Mingjin in her life. Their past destined them to never become good sisters or good friends.

Mingjin didn't believe her.

There was no way she could believe Mingjin.

Staying away from each other is the best situation.

But Mingyao also knew that the resentment she had for Mingjin had always been there, but she had cleverly hidden it.

She knew she shouldn't, but she couldn't help but feel resentful.

If Mingjin hadn't come back, none of this would have happened.

She is still the noble Sixth Lady of the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion, respected and admired, and held in the palm of the hand by Zhou Zhaoru and her brother. She can also become Gu Changxuan's legal wife.

Rather than like now.

Mingyao pursed her lips silently, turned around and left with Qianshuang.

On the other side, after Hua Sui and others walked away, they also lowered their voices and said to Ming Jin: "I saw that person's face was much worse than in the morning. I don't know what happened."

When she talked to Chunyu, she was used to calling Mingyao "that person".

Chunyu's prejudice against Mingyao is relatively good.

After all, she had already been in the Marquis' Mansion before Ming Jin came back, and she had always called Ming Yao "Sixth Miss".

But Hua Sui doesn’t have so many rules.

Whenever she thought about this person stealing their princess's identity and name, she would get so angry that her teeth would itch, and naturally she would not look at her well.

But she forgot.

We are not in the house now, and the master and Chunyu are not the only ones around us.

"Hua Sui."

I heard the princess's cold voice coming from the front.

Hua Sui was startled and reacted immediately. She glanced at Aunt Cheng beside her and her face turned pale immediately.

She quickly lowered her head and said, "I spoke out of turn."

Aunt Cheng smiled and said, "There's no one else here, so it's okay to say a few words, but once you go outside, you can't talk like this anymore."

She gave Hua Sui earnest instructions.

"It's okay if our own people know about it, but if outsiders know about it, they will inevitably say something bad about the princess. Do you understand?"

Hua Sui is still able to distinguish the importance of things.

What she feared most was the impact on Mingjin. When she heard Aunt Cheng say this, she naturally remembered it immediately and repeatedly said that she would remember it in the future and would never go out to ruin the princess's reputation.

Aunt Cheng didn’t say anything else.

They were still walking towards Songcuizhai. On the way, Aunt Cheng couldn't help but look at the girl walking in front of her.

From her angle, she could only see half of the girl's jade-like and calm face.

She really didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

The princess has suffered for so many years. Not to mention having any resentment towards the man who took her status, it is normal for her to have resentment towards everyone in the mansion.

What's more, she was just a maidservant beside the princess, and she just called her by an unpleasant name.

When she was at Laojun Mountain before, when she talked to the eldest princess about the affairs in the mansion, she didn't have a good face towards this person who had usurped the throne.

He would never use that identity and name to shout in front of the princess.

So as to avoid the eldest princess being unhappy when she hears it.

She also noticed that Mingyao looked unhappy just now.

Aunt Cheng just thought that it was because of the lady.

I heard that the lady has been in a very bad mood recently. She usually locks herself in the room and doesn't see outsiders, but she can't leave the Sixth Miss by her side.

It would be better if this Sixth Young Lady could accompany and serve me every day.

I guess this is the reason why the Sixth Miss is so tired.

But thinking of the relationship between the princess and the marquis's wife, Aunt Cheng didn't dare to say much, for fear that the princess would feel uncomfortable after hearing these things.

The three of them returned to Songcuizhai in silence.

Ming Jin didn't say anything along the way. She also saw that Ming Yao looked unhappy just now, but no matter whether it was Ming Yao or Zhou Zhaoru, it had nothing to do with her.

She was too lazy to care about their affairs.

Only at this moment, seeing Cuiwei supporting her grandmother and walking slowly in the yard, did Mingjin smile again and shouted to the old woman, "Grandma!"

Mingjin shouted and trotted towards the people.

Cuiwei saw her coming, and smiled as she let go of the old man's hand, then stepped aside and greeted Mingjin.

Ming Jin helped her get up while taking over her original work.

She personally held Princess Fuhua's arm and asked her, "Why are you walking in the yard now?"

"It's because my beloved daughter hasn't come back yet. I can't sit still in this room, so I have to come to the yard to look."

Princess Fuhua held Mingjin's hand and said with a smile.

Seeing that the smile on Mingjin's face was getting softer, he asked her softly, "Why did you come back so late? I thought you wouldn't be able to stay for long."

Ming Jin held the old woman's arm affectionately, and without hiding anything, he smiled and said to her, "I met Prince Chang'an this morning, and he invited me to dinner at the palace."

"Yi Xian?"

Princess Fuhua obviously didn't expect this to happen, and she looked surprised.

Mingjin smiled and nodded.

As it was getting dark, servants began to light lamps in the yard, and all the lights in the house in front had also been lit.

Looking over, the room is bright.

After all, it is autumn, and the temperature difference between morning and night is quite large.

When the sun was shining in the sky in the afternoon, it felt okay, neither cold nor hot.

But now the sun has disappeared, the sky is gradually getting dark, and the wind is blowing on people's bodies and it feels a little cool.

Ming Jin was afraid that the old lady would get a cold and have a headache again, so he helped her walk into the house. As they walked, he continued to talk to her, "Yes, the prince came to see if I needed anything. Later, Eunuch An asked me what to do for lunch, and took the initiative to invite me to the prince's house for dinner."

When Princess Fuhua heard Mingjin talk about Eunuch An, she was not surprised at all.

She said, how could Yixian, that taciturn man, take the initiative to invite Yanyan to have dinner with him? It must have been Xiao Anzi's idea.

She smiled.

Turning his head towards Mingjin, he asked, "How is the palace? Although Yixian's courtyard is not as good as the imperial palace, it is unmatched in the capital."

Ming Jin replied without hesitation: "It is indeed nice, with rockeries and pavilions, very elegant, and more beautiful than the gardens I have seen before, but my favorite is still the horse farm of the prince."

Mingjin had already helped the old man sit on the Arhat bed.

Cuiwei poured tea for them and brought it over. Mingjin took the cup of tea from the old man and handed it to her personally, but she didn't drink it herself.

Instead, he remained in high spirits and continued to talk to the old man with a smile about what happened today.

"Grandma, today the prince taught me how to ride a horse. Now I can ride a horse!" She said to the old woman with sparkling eyes.

Only in front of this old man would Ming Jin be so unconcealed and treat himself as a child who could have fun as he pleased.

She was like a child showing off to her family. She did not hide her happiness at all and excitedly told the old man about what happened at the horse farm today.

"I ran three laps in the prince's stable. I never knew riding a horse could be so much fun!"

"The prince also gave me its jade lion."

"That horse is so well-behaved and docile. Next time I'll take my grandmother to the Princess's Mansion to see it."

"I will also clean up the horse ranch at the Princess's Mansion in the future, so that I can ride horses there!"

When Mingjin said these words, Princess Fuhua looked at Mingjin with a smile.

This was also the first time she saw her granddaughter so happy, even happier than the last time she was canonized and received rewards.

This kind of happiness comes from the heart.

It also gave this girl, who was usually calm and steady, a glimpse of her liveliness and brilliance as a child.

At this moment, Princess Fuhua looked at her now rare bright and beautiful appearance, feeling both nostalgic and distressed.
