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

When being hugged by Zhou Zhaoru, Ming Jin's first reaction was to frown and try to push Zhou Zhaoru away.

She used to love this embrace the most, but now she felt disgusted by it. However, listening to the crying voices coming from behind her and the people in front of her with different expressions, Ming Jin raised her hand and then put it down again.

Fortunately, this embrace did not last long.

Soon, Cui's mother, who was crying with her, began to sob and persuade her, "Madam, please go in first. It's sunny outside and the girl is weak and can't stand such strong sun."

Although it is almost August, the Great Heat has just passed and it is the hottest time of the year.

Ye Xi beside him also said: "Yes, sister-in-law, let's go in first and talk about it, Yao..." Ye Xi also subconsciously wanted to call Ming Jin by her original name, but thought of the mess in the eldest house and the person who was still living in Jiangyun Garden.

Not knowing what the arrangements were for the eldest house, she, as an outsider, didn't want to say much, so she just looked at Mingjin and called out "Yanyan" with a smile.

The name was not taken away.

Perhaps it was because this nickname was originally given by her mother, and over the years, the relationship between her eldest sister-in-law and her mother had become increasingly worse, so she did not use this nickname for her beloved child.

"Yanyan has been traveling all the way, I'm afraid she must be tired."

Zhou Zhaoru finally reacted. Now her heart and eyes were filled with Ming Jin. After letting go, she still held Ming Jin's hand tightly, fearing that if she didn't hold it, Ming Jin would disappear again.

She just held Mingjin's hand and walked all the way inside. Regardless of her status, she directly pulled Mingjin and let her sit next to her.

This is obviously against the rules.

But at this moment, who would say anything more?

Ye Xi and Yao Qianyun obviously wouldn't say anything. As for Mingrong and Aunt Yu, they were unhappy, but who cared whether they were unhappy or not?

The rest of the illegitimate sons and daughters and concubines would never ask for this.

"Yanyan, are you hungry or thirsty? Mother has asked someone to prepare for you the cakes and fruit tea that you loved to eat when you were a child."

Having said that, I'm afraid her taste has changed.

Zhou Zhaoru quickly added, "Or if you have something else you like, mother can ask someone to do it."

On the table between the two of them, there was a plate of walnut cakes, a plate of butterfly cakes, and four colors of dried fruits. These were indeed the things Mingjin liked to eat when he was a child.

What was in the tea bowl was not tea, but iced orange tea.

The juice was clear yellow in color, and the fruit grains were distinct. Ming Jin opened the lid of the tea and felt the crushed ice brushing against his face. He had walked all the way and was indeed a little thirsty.

Although she disliked Zhou Zhaoru and others, and hated to be hypocritical with them, she would not sacrifice her appetite just because she hated them.

There’s no need. Just eat and drink.

Without any hesitation, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Hot summer.

The refreshing coolness of the iced orange tea went straight to the soul, dissipating much of the heat Ming Jin had felt after the long journey.

"How's it going? Does it taste good?"

Zhou Zhaoru was still chattering beside him, which was a bit annoying, but Ming Jin still nodded and said, "Not bad."

Zhou Zhaoru was very happy because of this sentence, and the other maids and mothers who served her were also smiling.

Only Mingrong looked at the bright and beautiful woman sitting at the upper seat with disdain.

What to pretend?

It's not like they don't know where she was before and what she did. She was just a servant, but she came to them and pretended to be a noble lady.

Mingrong was secretly complaining in her heart.

She didn't like Ming Yao before, thinking that how could a little beggar like her rise to the top and become the legitimate daughter of a marquis?

If she had known that her aunt was so crazy, she would have run over directly. She might have been the legitimate daughter of the marquisate for ten years!

Then she would have married into a wealthy family and become the housekeeper's lady.

If she's luckier, she might be able to marry Gu Changxuan directly...

Isn’t it because the woman from Jiangyunyuan became Mingyao that she has the good life she has now?

Why is she so lucky!

Because of this reason, Mingrong has always disliked Mingyao.

But now this woman is back.

Mingrong still didn't like her and thought she was pretentious and annoying.

Mingrong saw that they were so secretive and kept calling her by her nickname, and suddenly she remembered that she had not yet got her own name and identity back.

I don’t know what my uncle and aunt will do?

Mingrong felt that there would be a lot of fun to watch in the days ahead, and it would be best if these two people had a big fight!

Let her reap the benefits!

Mingrong thought about this and suddenly he no longer felt annoyed, with an expression of watching a good show on his face.

Mother Cui was also persuading Zhou Zhaoru to let the girl meet her family first and get to know them so as to avoid having to see strangers in the future.

Zhou Zhaoru was in a good mood at the moment.

The girl next to her looked so much like her and was so beautiful, and they were related by blood, so she naturally liked her and refused to let go of her hand.

If Mother Cui hadn't called her, she would probably have held her hand and watched her all day.

"Yanyan, this is your second aunt, and this is your third aunt." Zhou Zhaoru took Mingjin's hand and introduced them to her personally.

She was smiling and talking, and there was a lot of pride in her words.

Seeing her like this, Mingjin couldn't help but think of his past life.

At that time, Zhou Zhaoru was not so proactive. Although he was happy to see her, he was also embarrassed. He asked Mother Cui to take her to meet people and then hurriedly let her rest.

She didn't bother to figure out what caused her sudden pride and satisfaction.

When he stood up, Ming Jin pulled his hand out of Zhou Zhaoru's hand.

Zhou Zhaoru looked at his hand that suddenly fell empty, and saw Ming Jin walked up to Ye Xi without hesitation and called her "Second Aunt" softly.

Zhou Zhaoru felt vaguely uneasy and uncomfortable.

But looking at the gentle appearance of the girl not far away, she felt a little happy. Unlike what she had imagined, her daughter grew up very well.

No one knows about that place except my family and the Yuan family.

The Yingzhou branch of the Yuan family would naturally not say these things in order to save their lives and avoid trouble.

I won’t even talk about it at home.

The noble families all rise and fall together, so who would make things difficult for themselves?

When the Marquis comes back at night, I will discuss it with him and see if we can arrange a place for Yanyan to have a proper explanation for her disappearance over the past ten years.

Zhou Zhaoru was thinking about this.

Ye Xi and Ming Jin had already met over there.

Ye Xi didn't have much feeling for this girl at first. Ming Jin was only six years old when she went missing. Although she had some childhood memories of her, they had faded over the years.

But the girl just looked into her eyes.

Ye Xi couldn't understand the indescribable emotion surging in her, but he naturally felt a sense of intimacy with the girl in front of him.

At this moment, she was holding Mingjin's hand, patting the back of her hand gently, saying that she had worked hard, and comforting her: "Now that you are back home, you will have a peaceful life in the future. Your second brother asked me about you before and wanted to see you."

"But he and your brother Arang are still studying at the Imperial College these days, so you won't be able to meet for a few more days."

"Wait until your second brother comes back. Then your second uncle's mother will cook for you and invite you to come over for dinner."

Ming Jin naturally agreed with a smile.

In the Ming family, besides her grandmother, her favorite family is her second aunt's.

Whether it is the humorous second uncle, or the gentle second aunt and second cousin, they are all people she likes very much.

More than once, she had wished to be their child.

If she was the child of her second uncle and second aunt, her life would definitely not be so bad.

My second uncle and aunt would definitely not let anyone else take her place, and my second brother would definitely protect her and not let her be bullied.

When Ye Xi saw the girl's smiling eyes, he naturally became happier.

She understood why Zhou Zhaoru refused to let go. Who would be willing to let go of such a soft and cuddly precious daughter?

But Zhou Zhaoru was still watching from the front, so she couldn't show it too much. Although she was reluctant, she still smiled and patted Mingjin's hand, and said to her first: "Go and say hello to your third aunt."

Mingjin agreed again.

Only then did he turn around and pay his respects to Yao Qianyun.

She was really not very familiar with her third aunt.

All we know is that she was the sister of Guanglu Temple Minister Yao Changfeng. Before she got married, she was a role model in the boudoir. Unfortunately, she was unlucky and married her third uncle who favored his concubine over his wife.

She had a stubborn temper, was not favored by her husband, and had no children, so she lived a very lonely life in the Ming family.

Mingjin didn't have much contact with her in his previous life.

But when she was brought back from Tatar, the only person from the Ming family who came to visit her was her third aunt.

Although she was sick and drowsy at the time, Ming Jin was still very grateful after knowing the truth. So much so that when she looked at the woman with a stern face and gently twisting the Buddhist beads in her hands, she also bowed slightly and called out in a soft voice: "Third Aunt."

Yao Qianyun felt the kindness emanating from her and couldn't help but look at her strangely for a moment.

But seeing the girl lowered her eyes, she couldn't see anything.

Yao Qianyun didn't think much about it and asked Biluo behind him to go forward and help the man up. He just nodded to the man and said nothing more.

Zhou Zhaoru looked at this scene and felt a little unhappy for a moment.

She didn't like her daughter being too close to Ye Xi, but she was also dissatisfied with Yao Qianyun's indifferent attitude.

So after Mingjin got up, she spoke immediately.

"Yanyan, come and sit down."
