When Qian Shuang heard the cough, her expression changed immediately and she hurriedly pushed open the curtain and went in.

"The girl is coughing again?" Qian Shuang looked anxious. As she spoke, she quickly pulled down the brocade curtain behind her to prevent the cold wind outside from blowing in and making the girl feel even more uncomfortable.

"I went to the kitchen to get some pear soup. You can get up and drink some to moisten your throat." Qian Shuang carried the food box to the table, took out the white porcelain stewing pot inside, and then went to the embroidered bed.

The woman lying on the bed was wearing plain clothes, but her face was even whiter than the clothes.

The once pretty oval face now has no trace of flesh left. She is so thin that the bones are almost visible. The spirit in her eyes is gone, and she looks extremely haggard.

Qian Shuang felt a little distressed when seeing this.

The girl has not been in good health since she went to the village.

Although the people in the village didn't know what happened to the girls and usually took care of them, the people living in the village were ordinary farmers. It was far away from the capital and travel was inconvenient. Usually, for medical treatment, there were only some local doctors in the village.

The girl is already weak.

The living conditions at Zhuangzi's place are not good and the weather is cold.

The girl took several doses of medicine, but her condition did not improve. After she came back, the doctor Chen who used to treat the girl was gone. She was replaced by another doctor. The doctor treated her and prescribed medicine in the same way as before, but it was impossible for him to take care of the girl as wholeheartedly as Doctor Chen did before.

It is even more impossible to take any precious and rare medicine whenever you want like in the past.

Qian Shuang was just thankful that the Marquis was still on their side, otherwise she might not even be able to get the bowl of pear soup for the girl.

But even so.

When she went to the kitchen just now, she was still treated coldly and looked down upon by those people.

Qian Shuang knew that everyone in the mansion was unhappy with them, so she naturally dared to be careful and not offend them easily.

"Thanks a lot."

Mingyao spoke to Qianshuang in a hoarse voice.

Qian Shuang smiled and said, "How can it be so hard for me? It's just running errands and walking a short distance. You should get better soon. After the Qianqiu Banquet, you can marry into the Fourth Prince's mansion."

Qian Shuang said as she helped the man up.

Mingyao supported herself on Qianshuang's arm and sat up. Upon hearing this, the expression on her face was no longer as optimistic as before.

It has been almost a month since she left the Marquis' Mansion and went to Zhuangzi.

Although she had no idea what the rumors were outside, the commotion was so loud that it was impossible for Gu Changxuan not to hear it. However, he had not made any move in the past month.

If the Qianqiu Banquet was not approaching and she was not engaged to Gu Changxuan, I'm afraid the people in the Marquis' Mansion would not let her come back.

She didn't know what Gu Changxuan was thinking.

With his ability and skills, it would be easy for him to find out the truth, but he neither broke off the engagement nor helped her...

Mingyao really couldn't guess what Gu Changxuan was thinking.

But no matter what, at least the marriage is still there, otherwise she wouldn't be able to come back.

"girl?"

Qian Shuang saw that she had her head down, not knowing what she was thinking, and called her again.

"Ah."

Ming Yao responded softly and took the white porcelain stew pot from Qian Shuang. She said, "There's so much, I can't finish it. Bring a bowl over and we can share it."

"How can this be done?"

Qian Shuang naturally didn't dare to agree.

Ming Yao smiled at her, and said gently: "It's okay, I noticed that you have been coughing these days, don't let me infect you, it won't hurt to eat something to moisten your throat."

She was persistent.

Qian Shuang couldn't refuse, so she could only agree and turned to get the bowl.

Looking at Qian Shuang's leaving back, Ming Yao's eyes were filled with undercurrents.

Now the only person she can use is Qian Shuang, and she can't lose her again. Otherwise, with Zhou Zhaoru's current attitude towards her and Ming Yuandu's thoughts, the maids and servants assigned to her in the future will definitely not listen to her, and she might have to be controlled by them and work for the Ming family.

She can't be without any confidants, otherwise it would be very difficult for her to move forward.

Although she is in almost the same situation now.

Thinking of the news she learned on the way back home, Mingyao's eyes darkened again.

She didn't expect that Xiao Rang was serious this time.

This month, not only did he not come to see her, he even joined the army... Zhou Zhaoru was most worried about her youngest son, and now she hated her even more than before.

And there is big brother.

I heard that my eldest brother hasn't been back for a while, and the last time he came back he had an argument with Zhou Zhaoru.

With Zhou Zhaoru's temper, when she was criticized and wronged by her son and husband, she naturally vented all her anger on her.

Her knee still hurts.

And Mingjin...

"girl."

Qian Shuang came back with the bowl.

Mingyao put his thoughts aside and handed the stew pot to her.

While waiting for Qian Shuang to share the food, Ming Yao said, "After you finish the soup, accompany me to see mother."

No matter how Zhou Zhaoru treats her now, she can't leave any room for criticism. Even if Zhou Zhaoru doesn't like her and doesn't want to see her, she has to go, even if she gets scolded.

Only when Zhou Zhaoru's temper is completely vented can she live a good life.

When Qian Shuang heard this, she suddenly stopped moving.

"You haven't recovered from your illness yet. Why don't you rest for a few more days?" She didn't dare let the girl go out today, so she handed the stew pot back.

"It's just a few coughs, no big deal. If I don't go, she will bother me again." Mingyao said while drinking soup.

Qianshuang didn't know what to say and looked embarrassed.

After Mingyao caught a glimpse of it, she couldn't help but stop and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"

Qian Shuang couldn't hide it.

He was also afraid that the girl would run into Princess Changle when she went out, so he could only tell the truth: "The Princess is back today."

There was a "clang" sound.

The soup spoon smashed into the stew pot with a crisp clatter, and Mingyao's expression changed.

A moment of silence.

She said nothing and lowered her head.

After a long time, so long that Qianshuang thought the girl would not speak again, her voice suddenly rang out in the room again.

"If I hadn't done that at the beginning, would the ending be completely different now?"

Mingyao suddenly thought of what happened not long ago.

At that time, she was still Zhou Zhaoru's beloved daughter. Xiao Rang only listened to her, and her brother also loved her very much. Who would not respect and praise her when seeing her?

It's only been a few months, how could she end up like this?

If Mingjin had come back, no, before coming back, she had not been thinking about her precarious position, but had gotten along well with Mingjin, would she still be the distinguished Sixth Miss of the Marquis' Mansion now?

Mingyao didn’t know, she just felt very regretful.

She held the stew pot absentmindedly and didn't take another sip.

Qian Shuang, who was standing next to her, looked helpless when she heard her say that, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

She had advised the girl before, but she was like a possessed person and refused to listen to her. Now that it has become like this, she can't say that the girl is wrong.

Besides, whether it is right or not, things have already become like this, and we can only move forward.

……

In Songcuizhai.

Mingjin has been here for a while.

Princess Fuhua held her hand, reluctant to let go.

When she first learned that her precious granddaughter was here, she thought she was hallucinating until she really saw Ming Jin's smiling face... She didn't know how long she had been holding her hand or looking at her. Princess Fuhua was always calm, but now she was like an ordinary old woman. She just held Ming Jin's hand and chattered, "Why do you look thinner? Are you eating well outside? How is your accommodation? Is anyone bullying you?"

Mingjin listened to the old man's questions and didn't feel annoyed. He just felt warm in his heart.

She answered them one by one: "I eat well, live well, and no one bullies me. You always say I'm thin, but when I put on my old clothes yesterday, I felt that my waist had shrunk an inch."

She said, leaning back into the old man's arms: "I just miss you a little."

"Are you okay?" She was in the old man's arms, slightly tilting her head, looking at the old man and asked.

Princess Fuhua felt her heart melt when she was looked at like this. She couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her head, and her eyes became much softer: "I'm fine."

Even if it was not good, she would not be willing to tell Mingjin and make her worry for nothing.

"Ask the kitchen to make you some of your favorite food, and have a good meal with grandma today." Princess Fuhua said, stroking Mingjin's head.

Mingjin would naturally not refuse.

Her main purpose for coming here today was to spend some time with her grandmother.

Although her grandmother said it was okay, the white hair on her temples was much more than before. Mingjin was not blind and could see that she was not going to have a good life during this period.

I just don't want to make her worry.

"it is good."

She did as the old man wished and pretended not to see it.

In the old man's arms, Ming Jin seemed to have turned into a child and responded with a smile.

Aunt Cheng was very happy to hear this, and after Ming Jin agreed, she took the initiative to say, "I will go to the kitchen and give you the order right away!"

She walked out immediately after she finished speaking.

Princess Fuhua knew that she was happy and did not stop her.

After Aunt Cheng left, she first hugged Mingjin and asked him some family questions, and then asked another question: "I heard from Sister Sheng that you are planning to open a Tzu Chi Hall?"

This was another reason why Mingjin came here today. She did not hide anything and told the old man the truth.

"My granddaughter came here today for this matter." She sat up.
