Regarding Gu Jiarou’s visit to the Marquis’ Mansion.

Ming Jin was not actually surprised. Considering the way Gu Jiarou felt about Ming Jingheng, it would be fine if she couldn't find an opportunity, but if she could find an opportunity, how could she not come?

She was also present at this birthday party in the previous life.

But in her previous life, she was not the protagonist and had little contact with Princess An Cheng.

The rest of the people around were amazed and shocked by Gu Jiarou's arrival. They obviously didn't expect that someone from the royal family would appear at today's banquet.

Those who are more clever are thinking about another thing -

Now that Princess Ancheng is here, what about the Fourth Prince, her biological brother?

The fourth prince is handsome and elegant.

Although he is a member of the royal family, he has a very good temper.

What's more, he only has one concubine now, who has not yet been married, so the position of the main wife is still vacant.

For a while.

The minds of many noble ladies present were drawn to this matter, and they were all anxious to go over and find out what was going on.

Even if the Fourth Prince didn’t come.

It would also be good to be able to establish a good relationship with Princess Ancheng.

However, since the host Mingjin had not spoken yet, they could only stand there reservedly and not move rashly.

"It's okay, let's go."

Xu Zhaojun knew Mingjin was worried about her.

At this time, she lowered her voice, smiled and comforted Mingjin.

Indeed, when she heard the name of Princess Ancheng, a hint of disgust and hatred flashed across her heart.

She still remembers it.

When I was in the delivery room, in excruciating pain, I heard a woman's voice.

"Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for offending the princess and blocking her way. If you become a ghost, go and seek revenge on her. Don't, don't look for me!"

The one who spoke was the midwife.

Xu Zhaojun never imagined that the midwife she had carefully selected had actually been bribed by Gu Jiarou a long time ago. She also never expected that even though Gu Jiarou had already married, she still had feelings for Ming Jingheng and even went so far as to harm her when she was giving birth.

She was very resentful when she died.

Even after his rebirth, whenever he heard about Princess An Cheng, he couldn't control his emotions.

She seldom comes out these years.

People outside thought that she was busy with household chores and had no time, but only Xu Zhaojun herself knew that she was just adjusting her mood.

She was afraid of seeing Ming Jingheng, and even more afraid of seeing Gu Jiarou.

She was afraid that when she saw them, she would not be able to control her emotions and people would notice her dislike for Gu Jiarou. She was also afraid that her parents and her family would be affected because of herself.

Fortunately, time is really the best medicine.

Three years have passed, and now no matter whether she hears about Ming Jingheng or Gu Jiarou, she is no longer unable to control her emotions like before.

Under Mingjin's concerned gaze, Xu Zhaojun just smiled at her.

There was no more gloom between his eyebrows.

Seeing her like this, Ming Jin didn't say anything else.

She called the others and went back to the main hall where they would be meeting today.

When I got there, I saw the siblings Gu Jiarou and Gu Changxuan.

I didn't expect that Gu Changxuan was really there.

Suddenly, there was a murmur of whispering coming from behind Mingjin.

Whispers of love reached Mingjin's ears, but Mingjin remained calm and ignored them.

On the contrary, Xu Zhaojun, who was beside her, suddenly looked at Ming Jin beside her with worry when she saw Gu Changxuan.

Now it was Mingjin's turn to comfort her: "It's okay."

Gu Changxuan wouldn't let her do anything.

The brother and sister Gu Changxuan and Gu Jiarou sat next to Princess Fuhua.

After Gu Changxuan greeted everyone, he chatted with Princess Fuhua for a few more words and was about to leave for the outer hall.

Suddenly I heard a noise outside.

Accompanied by the voices of the maids: "Grandpa, the princess is back."

Gu Changxuan suddenly paused, and when he was about to stand up, he sat back down.

Like everyone else, he turned his head and looked outside.

The girl is wearing scarlet today.

It was the first time that Gu Changxuan saw her wearing such a color. If purple made her look dignified and beautiful, then this touch of crimson would make her even more eye-catching.

More than a dozen noble ladies with different appearances came in together, but Gu Changxuan seemed to see only Ming Jin.

It seems like there is no room for others in his eyes.

Gu Changxuan just looked at Ming Jin in a daze.

Fortunately, everyone in the room was now paying attention outside, and those women who admired Gu Changxuan all lowered their heads shyly.

Otherwise, Gu Changxuan's strange behavior would definitely be noticed.

But it wasn't unnoticed.

Just when Gu Changxuan came to his senses and was about to look away.

Gu Changxuan keenly felt that someone on the opposite side was looking at him with an extremely disgusted look.

Gu Changxuan knew who the owner of this gaze was without even looking.

In this whole world, apart from that woman, Gu Changxuan could not think of anyone else who would hate him so much!

At this moment——

A hint of anger suddenly rose in Gu Changxuan's heart.

He is not the kind of person who cannot control his emotions. If he could not control his emotions, he would not have been able to live so smoothly over the years.

He is not the kind of person who cares too much about what others think.

Although other people's comments and opinions are important, Gu Changxuan will not be influenced by them.

Only the weak care about what others think.

——And he has never been a weak person.

But Gu Changxuan didn't know what was wrong. Every time he saw Ming Jin and saw the disgust and aversion in her eyes, it was like a fire suddenly started in his heart, burning his heart as if it were burning a prairie fire.

It made his breathing rapid and his expression difficult to read.

Just like at this moment, under Ming Jin's gaze, although it was only for a moment, and although she quickly withdrew her gaze, Gu Changxuan still felt as if there was a fire in his heart, burning him very uncomfortable.

Others don't know what happened to him.

Gu Jiarou, who was sitting next to him, could hear his suddenly heavier breath.

She was originally looking at Ming Jin.

Unexpectedly, the returning young lady of the Ming family turned out to be so beautiful. Gu Jiarou felt a little wary and displeased.

But soon, thinking of her identity, Gu Jiarou was able to relax again.

Although she didn't really like Ming Jin's outstanding looks, but thinking that Brother Jing Heng seemed to like this sister very much, Gu Jiarou decided to hide her dislike and get along well with her.

If she could help her and bring her together with Brother Jingheng, she would be willing to look upon her with a higher regard and reward her.

Gu Jiarou was thinking about all this in her mind, but she still looked proud.

Didn't take the initiative to greet Mingjin.

She planned to wait for Mingjin to come over before talking to him.

So when Gu Jiarou withdrew her gaze, she noticed that something was wrong with Gu Changxuan.

She turned around to look at Gu Changxuan, and saw that he frowned for some reason. Gu Jiarou blinked and asked curiously, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Fuhua was right next to them.

After hearing this, he also looked over.

She didn't know what was going on, but she also asked, "What happened to Changxuan?"

When Gu Changxuan heard their voices, he immediately suppressed his emotions.

"No, nothing. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Gu Changxuan said to Princess Fuhua with a smile. His expression was normal and his voice was as bright and cheerful as usual.

It was as if the strangeness at that moment just now was not him.

At this moment, Mingjin had already come over.

She also heard Gu Changxuan's words, but did not react much. After greeting Princess Fuhua, she calmly greeted the two siblings beside her.

"The Fourth Prince, Princess Ancheng." Ming Jin lowered his eyes slightly and greeted the two of them.

Gu Jiarou still had that arrogant look on her face.

Sitting upright in the chair, he slightly raised his eyelids to look at Ming Jin.

How could anyone in the royal family not be beautiful? Gu Jiarou was the only princess and had been doted on since she was a child.

She had an oval face and was wearing a pink palace dress that suited her age.

The pearls and emeralds on her head are very bright.

If it weren't for those eyes that seemed a little condescending when she looked at people, she would be a lovely girl just based on her appearance.

She looked at Mingjin and said proudly, "I heard it was your birthday, and my brother and I happened to be free, so we came to see you."

As she spoke, she reached her hand back.

The palace maid behind him, who was also wearing palace dress, hurriedly handed over a box.

"This is the gift I picked for you, it's made of the finest red agate." Gu Jiarou said as she handed the box in her hand to Ming Jin.

Her attitude is neither good nor bad.

Princess Fuhua frowned, but considering Gu Jiarou's personality, she didn't know what to say.

As for Gu Changxuan——

If it were in the past, Gu Changxuan would definitely say something to Gu Jiarou when he saw her like this.

But today, looking at Ming Jin in front of him, he didn't know why, but he suddenly wanted to see her lower her head.

The bad nature brought about by Ming Jin's dislike and disgust made him not want to stand up and speak for Ming Jin at this time.

Or maybe...

He was waiting to see her show weakness, to show weakness with him.

But from beginning to end, Ming Jin remained calm and was not affected by Gu Jiarou's performance.

Nor was he flattered by her reward.

She just thanked the person calmly, then reached out to take it and handed it to Chunyu behind her.

Gu Jiarou felt somewhat dissatisfied when she saw her like this.

"Don't you want to take a look?"

Although this was not something she specially picked, she personally ordered someone to prepare it. Yet Changle gave it to the maid without even looking at it!

You really don't know the rules at all!

Gu Jiarou had always disliked her, and this was even more so now.

She frowned.

Princess Fuhua was about to speak when she saw this.

Ming Jin looked at Gu Jiarou first and spoke: "Princess, do you want me to open it?"

Who is this?

Gu Jiarou didn’t know why. The woman in front of her didn’t say anything, but Gu Jiarou just didn’t like her.

She gave her something, shouldn't she be grateful?

Why are you so frivolous?

Still looking indifferent.

This is top-quality red agate. Has this country bumpkin ever seen it?

How annoying!

The satisfaction that Brother Jing Heng showed towards her dissipated a lot in her heart. She raised her chin and said condescendingly, "Of course."

The atmosphere in the room was not as good as before because of Gu Jiarou's behavior.

Everyone present had different thoughts.

There are those who care about Mingjin, while others just stand by and watch, or just enjoy the show.

Princess Fuhua was even more dissatisfied with Gu Jiarou.

But now it was their children who were talking. If she intervened, even though she was protecting Yanyan, it would not be good after all.

Some things still need to be handled by Yanyan herself.

Princess Fuhua held her breath and said nothing.

But in my heart, I was extremely dissatisfied with this brother and sister.

An Cheng is ignorant, so is Cheng Xuan also ignorant? He actually lets his sister make such a fuss!

At this moment, Princess Fuhua couldn't help but feel very fortunate.

Fortunately, Yanyan didn’t marry him.

Otherwise, I don’t know how I will be bullied in the future?

She drank her tea with a frown on her face.

On the other hand, Ming Jin was not affected by Gu Jiarou's attitude. She had been with Gu Jiarou for three years and had been humiliated by her before.

It was just asking her to open a box in public, which was not worth mentioning.

“Spring rain.”

She spoke.

Chunyu hurriedly bowed and stepped forward.

Ming Jin opened the box in front of everyone.

Ming Jin raised his eyebrows when he saw a set of red agate jewelry inside.

Judging from the quality, it is indeed good, and it is hard for Gu Jiarou to bear with it.

It seems that Ming Jingheng is really important to her.

But Ming Jin was not someone who had never seen good things. Although this red agate was of good quality, it was much inferior to the set of southern red agate she owned before.

By the way, no one knows who gave her the set of southern red agate when she got married.

Anyone who gave a gift would mark the outside of the box, or give it directly to a servant, who would write it down so that they could return the gift in the future.

But the owner of that set of southern red agate jewelry could never be found.

Mingjin was a little absent-minded for a moment because he was thinking about the past.

But in Gu Jiarou's eyes, it looked like this country bumpkin was shocked by the gift she gave him.

She was very satisfied for a moment, raised her eyebrows and smiled at Ming Jin: "How is it? This thing is good, you must have never seen it before!"

She said it with great confidence, yet there was a hint of contempt hidden between her words.

Mingjin has come back to his senses.

Hearing this, she just curled her lips indifferently.

Just as he was about to say something, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Prince Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the Fifth Prince are here."
