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

The deep male voice that suddenly came from behind made Ming Jin, who was originally enjoying the show, silent for a moment. The mocking smile on his face also gradually disappeared.

No need to look back.

Ming Jin also knew who the man standing behind her was.

Mother Cui and others around her have turned around and paid their respects to Ming Yuandu, the male owner of Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

Those respectful yet worried greetings rang out one after another behind Mingjin.

Mingjin hasn't turned back yet.

But she could already feel the gaze from behind her coming from the direction of Mingyuan Ferry.

Ming Jin lowered his eyes.

She also turned around, headed in the direction of Mingyuandu, lowered her head, and called softly, "Father."

She lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.

There isn't much emotion actually.

She could feel that Ming Yuandu was still looking at her.

Not knowing what he was thinking at the moment, Ming Jin was too lazy to find out. He still maintained this attitude and stood in front of Ming Yuandu.

Ming Jin lowered his head.

But from Ming Yuandu's angle, he could still see her appearance clearly. His eyes fell on Ming Jin's face, which looked very much like Zhou's, and the familiar little mole on her nose.

The face is a familiar face.

But the behavior of the girl in front of him made Ming Yuandu feel very unfamiliar.

Ever since he received the letter from Yingzhou a month ago, he had not thought about the little girl Mingyuandu for a long time. However, he often dreamed about her recently.

What he saw in his dream was naturally Mingyao as a child.

When Mingyao was a child, she loved to act coquettishly, laugh, and make noises. She liked to lie on his shoulders and call him "Dad" with a smile.

At that time, Mingyuan Ferry was not as busy as it is now.

Although he already had several children, none of them was like Mingyao, who would cling to him, let him hold her affectionately, or want him to lift her up and fly high.

It can be said.

Mingyao was the first child who made him feel the joy of being a father. Among so many children, only Mingyao was so intimate with him that he didn't care about anyone else.

When Mingyao went missing, he was really worried and even went to various state capitals to look for her himself.

But he is more than just Mingyao's father after all.

He is the head of the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion, Zhou's husband, and the head of the entire family. It is impossible for him to really devote all his heart to finding Mingyao.

What's more, Zhou was insane at that time and his mother was not in good health.

All matters had to be handled by him. No matter how much he missed, worried, or heartbroken he was about the disappearance of his legitimate daughter, he had to put the overall situation first.

All these years, he always thought Mingyao was dead, but he didn't expect her to come back.

This made Ming Yuandu very shocked, but also very happy.

After all, Mingyao is his daughter.

How could he not be happy that his daughter, who had been missing for ten years, was back?

During this period, Ming Yuandu often thought about the scene when their father and daughter reunited.

But at this moment, they, father and daughter, really met, but the girl just stood there so prettyly, her posture was elegant and respectful, and no one could find fault with her. But she was not as excited as he had imagined, she was neither happy nor in tears, she was calm, as if they had met not long ago.

This made Ming Yuandu couldn't help but frown.

If it weren't for that familiar face, he wouldn't even be able to connect the girl in front of him with the little girl in his memory.

"you……"

He opened his mouth and spoke.

Before the voice had finished, he saw the obvious scar on Mingjin's neck.

It was obviously an old wound, bearing the marks of time.

"What's the matter with this injury?" Ming Yuandu frowned and his voice was a little hurried.

But in fact, when he said this, he had already guessed what was going on. In a place like that, if he wanted to protect his innocence, he could only hurt himself to maintain temporary peace.

Ming Yuandu felt distressed and embarrassed.

So when he saw the girl in front of him suddenly look up at him, Ming Yuandu suddenly didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Only then did he meet the girl's dark eyes.

Ming Yuandu subconsciously turned his face away and avoided looking into her eyes.

The air seemed to become quiet.

After a while, the deep male voice sounded again: "I will try to submit a petition to the palace tomorrow to see if I can find an imperial physician to treat you."

Done.

He comforted Mingjin softly again: "Don't worry, nothing will happen, and nothing will happen again in the future."

These words not only comforted Mingjin that the scar could be removed, but also told her that such a thing would never happen again.

If this was Ming Jin from his previous life, he would have been moved to tears by now.

But now Ming Jin just responded with a faint yes, without any sign of gratitude.

She really didn't know how to get along with Ming Yuandu.

Compared to Zhou Zhaoru's apparent preference for Mingyao, Ming Yuandu had actually always treated her and Mingyao equally over the years.

In fact, Ming Yuandu treated her better than Ming Yao.

Sometimes when Zhou Zhaoru scolded her, he would take the initiative to speak up for her so that she could avoid Zhou Zhaoru's punishment and scolding.

She once thought that he loved her.

Even if her mother didn't love her, her father should love her.

She thought so then, and even for several years afterwards.

That's why she would go to celebrate Ming Yuandu's birthday despite her sick body at that time.

It was not until later that she found out that when Daqian was preparing to send someone to pick her up, her father had advocated that she be executed in order to preserve her innocence as the consort of the fourth prince of Daqian.

Mingjin forgot what her reaction was when he found out about this.

But even now, when she thought of this incident, she still felt numbness in her hands and feet, stiffness all over her body, and even wanted to vomit.

This left her with no choice but to give Ming Yuandu a good look.

She could only lower her head and remain silent.

Ming Yuandu couldn't help but frown when he saw her attitude.

He was busy with official duties and had little time to pay attention to his children. Except for his eldest son, he didn't communicate much with the other children.

But among all his children, whether it was the taciturn and timid Ming Sheng, the youngest Jing Huai, or even the one with the worst temper Ming Jingrang, they were all respectful when facing him, answering every question and sometimes even giving him considerate words of comfort.

There has never been a child as taciturn as the girl in front of me. I don’t know what to say to her.

Is it because you just came back and you’re not used to it?

still is……

Ming Yuandu frowned and looked at Ming Jin in front of him with a scrutinizing look.

But soon, his attention was distracted by something else.

The mother and son in the house had not yet noticed their arrival. After Ming Jingrang's brief coaxing, they were still not satisfied and started making a big fuss again.

"In the end, you just feel sorry for that woman because she has suffered so much, and you want to make it up to her!"

"But why!"

"It wasn't us who lost her in the first place!"

"We have been looking for her for so many years. Why should she take away my sister's things as soon as she comes back?"

"You only think of her as pitiful, but have you ever thought of Sister?"

"If my sister's identity and name are taken away, how will she continue to stay in this family? How will people outside view her?"

"I don't care. If you give her my sister's identity and name, I will take her away and never come back!"

After hearing these words, Ming Yuandu finally understood why the girl in front of him was like this.

His face suddenly darkened, and without saying anything more, he strode into the house with a dark face.

"presumptuous!"

Mother Cui and the others looked at Ming Yuandu's departing figure and heard the stern voice, and their faces almost turned pale immediately.

They trembled and wanted to follow in, but saw Ming Jin still standing aside, looking inside with a thoughtful look.

Mother Cui couldn't understand the emotions in her eyes.

Although she was worried about the situation inside, she still pulled herself together and spoke to Ming Jin in a gentle and soothing tone, lowering her voice: "Miss, how about I help you back to your room first?"

Under the current circumstances, it is not suitable to let the girl who just returned home go in like this. It would be bad if the girl and the young master started quarreling!

When Mingjin heard this, he retracted his gaze.

She looked at Mother Cui, who was in a very good mood, and asked her with a smile: "Mom, do you think it's appropriate for me to leave like this now?"

"This……"

Mother Cui looked hesitant and was unable to answer for a moment.

In the end, he gave up under the gentle gaze of the girl.

In this situation, it would be the same whether the girl left or stayed. Although leaving could avoid direct contact and confrontation, after today, the gap between the girl and the young master would probably not be dispelled.

The Lord is inside...

I guess the young master will be more restrained when he sees him, right?

And after all, the girl is the young master's biological sister. Maybe when the siblings meet later, everything will be fine?

There is no guarantee that the young master will fall in love with the girl.

Thinking about this, Mother Cui regained her confidence. She stopped trying to persuade the girl and immediately followed her in as she watched her step inside.

Inside the house, Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Jingrang, mother and son, were both surprised to see Ming Yuandu appear.

Zhou Zhaoru was about to scold Ming Jingrang, but when he saw Ming Yuandu appear with a dark face, he immediately turned into nervousness and worry.

Ming Jingrang's expression also changed slightly. He was not really fearless. He opened his mouth to speak, but was still a little afraid of Ming Yuandu. He stammered his lips, turned his face away, and did not speak immediately.

"My Lord, you are back."

Zhou Zhaoru greeted Ming Yuandu first.

Just as he was about to speak up for Ming Jingrang, he saw the girl following Ming Yuandu in.

When Zhou Zhaoru saw Yanyan at this time, she felt more than just worried, she was also a little embarrassed.

She never expected that Yanyan would come so quickly. Didn’t she just send someone to stop Yanyan from coming?

Why are people still coming?

Not knowing how much Yanyan had heard, Zhou Zhaoru suddenly felt very uneasy.

"Yanyan..."

She walked over and wanted to talk to Mingjin, wanted to tell her that everything Xiaorang had said just now was nonsense, and wanted her not to take it to heart.

But when Ming Yuandu looked at the girl who followed him in, and thought of the coldness she had shown in front of the courtyard gate just now, he was so angry.

Before Zhou Zhaoru could say anything, he immediately started to attack Ming Jingrang: "Who told you to say that?"

"You idiot, open your eyes and see clearly who your sister is!"
