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

Mrs. Dong...

Ming Jin was suddenly addressed and was unable to react for a moment.

When Hua Sui saw her expression, he put away his thoughts and asked, "Master, what's wrong?"

Ming Jin finally came back to her senses and said, "...It's okay."

There are many families with the surname Dong in the capital, but there can only be one family that is related to the Anyuan Marquis Mansion, happens to have the surname Dong, and comes to pay a visit to Zhou Zhaoru at this time.

——The wife of Dong Yan, the Minister of the Imperial Household Department, the mother of Dong Zhiyao, and Ming Sheng’s mother-in-law in the previous life.

In fact, Mrs. Dong also came to the last birthday party.

Dong Yan had a good relationship with Ming Yuandu. Although he did not hold a high official position, he was very good at scheming and flattering.

The same goes for his wife, Mrs. Li.

Among so many ladies in the capital, she is the one who is best at flattering Zhou Zhaoru.

Therefore, although Mrs. Dong was only the wife of a sixth-rank official, she had many opportunities to meet Zhou Zhaoru.

Especially these days.

Zhou Zhaoru was talked about a lot by others because she was unable to attend the birthday party. Many people who used to have a good relationship with her have not been in touch with her for a while.

However, Mrs. Dong still visited Zhou Zhaoru frequently as usual, and her relationship with Zhou Zhaoru was even better than before.

As for why she came to visit again today...

Ming Jin thought of Ming Sheng's marriage in his previous life, and the way Mrs. Dong pulled Ming Sheng aside to talk at the last birthday party, and his heart gradually sank.

She did mention this to her second aunt recently.

I asked her to choose a good husband for Ming Sheng, but I forgot that there was a Dong family waiting.

In his previous life, Ming Sheng didn't show much, but just because he was Ming Yuandu's child, he was married into the Dong family.

This time Ming Sheng showed up at her birthday party and received a lot of praise. How could Li not be tempted?

When Ming Jin thought of this, he suddenly stood up with a grim expression.

There's been a lot going on lately.

She actually forgot to deal with Dong Zhiyao's matter.

"Master, what's wrong?" Even if Hua Sui was stupid, he could see that something was wrong with Ming Jin.

Considering what she said before, Hua Sui also calmed down a bit. She lowered her voice and asked Ming Jin, "Is there something wrong with that Mrs. Dong?"

Ming Jin didn't say whether it was right or wrong, he just ordered: "Send a smart person to find out what they said today."

Hua Sui was a little surprised.

This is the first time that the master has inquired about what is going on over there. I don’t know who this Madam Dong is and why she makes the master so worried.

But Hua Sui didn't ask any more questions.

He just answered "yes" obediently and went out to give orders.

After Mingjin waited for her to leave, he walked around the room first, and then returned to his original position.

Actually, there is no need to worry.

Even if Zhou Zhaoru really arranged this marriage for the fifth sister, it would be fine. As long as Dong Zhiyao's true face was exposed in the future, this marriage would naturally be invalid.

Think so.

After Hua Sui came back after giving the order, Ming Jin gave another order: "Ask Brother Ying to come over."

Some things should be put on the agenda.

……

After giving instructions to Brother Ying.

The little maid who was sent to inquire about the matter has also returned.

Not surprisingly, Mrs. Li came today for the marriage of her youngest son Dong Zhiyao.

But what surprised Ming Jin was——

"What did you say?"

At that time, the three maids were all there, and the maid who was talking lowered her head. Ming Jin frowned and asked her, "Who did you just say went?"

I don't know why the princess is so surprised.

It was the first time that the younger maids saw the princess like this, and they couldn't help but become nervous, fearing that they had replied incorrectly or asked the wrong question.

She lowered her head and replied tremblingly, "To answer your question, yes, it was the fourth young lady who went there. Madam Dong even held the fourth young lady's hand, praised her many, many things, and gave the fourth young lady a bracelet."

Finally, he finished his reply tremblingly.

Seeing the silence in the room, the maid didn't wait for Mingjin to speak, she hesitated and replied: "Did I ask wrongly? How about, how about I go over and take a look?"

Ming Jin was silent for a while, then said, "No need, you can go down first."

The maid agreed and withdrew.

After she left, Ying Ge continued to wait silently by the side, while Chunyu and Huasui looked at each other.

They all noticed that Mingjin was abnormal.

After they looked at each other, Chun Yu first asked in a low voice: "Master, is there something wrong?"

Of course not.

This was supposed to be Mingsheng's marriage.

How could this happen to Mingrong for no reason?

Thinking back to Mingrong's strange behavior recently, and what the concierge said that day...

"Did you find out anything when you went to Mingrong last time?" Ming Jin looked up and asked Hua Sui.

Hua Sui thought about it carefully and shook his head: "After that night, the fourth young lady never went out again. She stayed in the house embroidering every day. She seemed to be much more obedient than before."

"Be content..."

Ming Jin pondered over these two words, his expression still unsightly.

This peace of mind is Mingrong's biggest problem.

Although she and Mingrong were not very familiar with each other, they did understand each other a little bit. Her fourth sister was not at all contented.

In her previous life, she was always neither good nor bad. The good ones looked down on her, and the bad ones looked down on her. In the end, she never chose a suitable husband.

Later, as time went by, I got older.

In the end, she had no choice but to marry a wealthy businessman and left the capital with him.

Mingjin lost contact with her.

Now the Dong family's marriage arrangement has suddenly changed.

Considering Mingrong's abnormal behavior recently, Mingjin would definitely not believe that there was nothing strange about it.

“Spring rain.”

"Eh."

Chunyu quickly agreed: "You go ahead."

Ming Jin ordered: "Go and find out who Ming Rong has been meeting recently and what specific changes have taken place."

Chunyu agreed and went out first.

After she left, Ming Jin did not speak immediately. Ying Ge looked at Ming Jin's expression and asked, "Do you still need to investigate that matter?"

"check."

Mingjin didn't hesitate.

Regardless of who the marriage is given to in the end, Dong Zhiyao, a beastly thing with a double face, should be exposed to the public and should not harm girls...

Although she didn't have a very good relationship with Mingrong, she didn't want to watch her fall into the fire pit.

After she regained her composure, she said to Brother Ying, "This guy is doing a good job on the surface. This matter may not be easy to investigate. You should be careful."

Yingge nodded: "Got it."

This matter is indeed difficult to investigate.

Dong Zhiyao is a man who has enjoyed such a good reputation for so many years, and is as famous as his second brother in the Imperial College, and is even regarded as a confidant by his second brother. Naturally, he is not a brainless idiot.

His dirty deeds and his true character.

In his previous life, it was only after Ming Sheng married him that it was revealed little by little.

If Ming Sheng had not been injured later and the woman outside had not made a fuss, no one would have thought that this man who looked so gentlemanly on the surface was actually such a person in private.

Brother Ying has been following Dong Zhiyao for the past two days.

But Dong Zhiyao usually stayed in the Imperial College, and his actions and words were always like a gentleman. Apart from eating, reading, and sleeping, his daily schedule was to talk with his classmates in the Imperial College. He was very well-behaved.

Even when his classmates wanted to go to a brothel to drink, he would decline with a smile, saying that he wanted to read. Even when others laughed at him, he would just smile good-naturedly.

Two more days passed.

The Dong family formally came to propose marriage.

The whole family also knew about the news that Mingrong and Dong Zhiyao were engaged.

Upon hearing the news, Aunt Yu and Mingrong were extremely happy. Aunt Yu even took Mingrong to Zhou Zhaoru to kowtow several times, and she expressed her gratitude to Zhou Zhaoru in her words.

Aunt Chen fell seriously ill because of this.

She had always thought that this marriage was for Mingsheng, but she didn't expect that Mingrong would get it first. She knew in her heart that the lady was jealous of them, so she deliberately made things difficult for them. Mingrong was older than Mingsheng, and the marriage was proposed by the Dong family themselves. Even if Aunt Chen was sad, she couldn't say anything.

Since she was depressed, Aunt Chen naturally became worried.

After Mingjin found out, he went to visit Aunt Chen.

When Aunt Chen knew she was coming, she was quite embarrassed and tried to stand up to greet Mingjin.

Ming Jin naturally did not give in: "Aunt, there is no need to be so polite."

Aunt Chen said uncomfortably, "I'm sorry to make you laugh at my poor health." Not daring to let Ming Jin stay in such a sick room for too long, she told Ming Sheng, "Sister Sheng, take the princess out for some tea. I'll lie down for a while."

Ming Sheng would naturally agree.

After helping Aunt Chen go back to sleep and asking the maid to watch over her carefully, she came over and said to Mingjin, "Seventh sister, let's go out."

Mingjin nodded.

The two walked out, and Ming Sheng's personal maid Huai Xu served them tea.

"You go down first."

After Huaixu finished serving tea, Mingsheng asked her to leave. Almost as soon as Huaixu left, Mingsheng slumped his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm sorry to make a fool of myself in front of my seventh sister." She looked at Ming Jin helplessly and said.

She knew why Mingjin came.

Ming Jin looked at her and said, "I'm not here to laugh at you."

She was still her usual self.

After hearing this, Ming Sheng's expression relaxed a lot. She looked at Ming Jin and said softly, "Don't worry about me. I'm fine."

Ming Jin looked at her and asked, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Ming Sheng groaned softly and smiled helplessly: "It is definitely impossible to say that I am not sad at all. I naturally like people like Mr. Dong Er."

"But marriage is a matter of fate, and it's not something I can change just because I'm sad for a while."

"It's not mine, so there's no need to be too sad."

She said it frankly.

Ming Jin felt relieved and a little relieved.

At first, she was really worried that Mingsheng would be sad because of this, but she didn't expect that her fifth sister, although weak in appearance, was actually very wise.

Thinking of this, Ming Jin felt even more sad about the injustice she had experienced in her past life.

She held out her hand.

Held Ming Sheng’s hand on the table.

Under Ming Sheng's surprised gaze, Ming Jin said to her: "Don't worry, Dong Zhiyao is not a good match. You will definitely marry a good son-in-law in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ming Sheng could not help but look at Ming Jin in surprise.

She just thought that her seventh sister was coaxing her.

Mr. Dong is already very good. With her status, what kind of good husband can she marry? In fact, it doesn't matter who she marries, as long as the man treats her well. However, Ming Sheng is still very happy to receive such comfort from her seventh sister. She smiled and looked at Ming Jin and said yes.
