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

I didn't expect Mingyao to come.

Zhou Zhaoru frowned secretly and glanced at Mother Cui, obviously blaming her for being unreliable.

He can't even handle such a small thing.

Mother Cui didn't expect that she would alarm this person. She had obviously been careful enough just now. She had no idea what was going on.

He couldn't help but glare at Qianshuang who was holding Mingyao's arm.

It must be this girl’s doing!

Qian Shuang shrank her neck and lowered her head when she was looked at by her, not daring to speak.

Mother Cui had no choice but to turn around, hide her old face, and apologize to Zhou Zhaoru: "It is my fault that I did not do my job well."

Zhou Zhaoru still looked unhappy and a little annoyed.

Although she was dissatisfied with Mingyao's behavior, some things could be avoided by killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. She still wanted to protect Mingyao's face in front of everyone.

After all, her love for Mingyao is not fake.

Over the years, the person she loved the most was Mingyao. When she became crazy, she only remembered Mingyao and only trusted Mingyao.

It's better now.

It's not right for her to have an attack, and it's not right for her not to have an attack.

Suddenly, someone gently pulled his sleeve, and Zhou Zhaoru reacted. Seeing that it was Ming Jin, Zhou Zhaoru subconsciously relaxed his expression and his voice became softer.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?"

Ming Jin deliberately showed a frightened look, looked at Zhou Zhaoru nervously and said, "Mother, don't blame Mother Cui."

Zhou Zhaoru was stunned.

Seeing Ming Jin's worried expression, she knew that the beating of Qian Rong just now still frightened her, so she hurriedly held Ming Jin's hand and comforted her: "Mother didn't blame her."

After all, Mother Cui has been with her for decades. Even if she has not made any contributions, she has worked hard.

Although Zhou Zhaoru was somewhat dissatisfied, he would not treat her the same way he treated Qianrong, especially in front of Yanyan.

She patted Mingjin's hand, then turned around and glanced at Mother Cui who was still lowering her head in front of her: "Okay, you can leave first."

Even if the matter was exposed like this.

Mother Cui couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after hearing this. She thanked the person again and then lowered her head and stepped aside.

As she stepped back, she glanced at the girl standing on the steps, and gratitude involuntarily flashed in her eyes.

Meanwhile, Zhou Zhaoru was comforting Ming Jin: "Are you okay now?"

Ming Jin nodded softly, and her voice was gentle: "Thank you, mother. You are so kind."

Just one sentence made Zhou Zhaoru smile from ear to ear.

Ming Yao, who witnessed all this, lost even less color on her already pale face.

"cough--"

She couldn't help but cough.

When Zhou Zhaoru heard the voice, he turned around again and saw Mingyao standing there with a pale face. She looked so thin that she seemed like she could be blown down by a strong wind.

I saw her coughing again.

The heart-wrenching coughs, one after another, made people very worried that she would cough up blood, or in more serious cases, cough out her heart and lungs.

After all, she is the daughter I have loved for ten years.

Zhou Zhaoru couldn't bear to see her like this: "You are so sick, why are you still out here? Why don't you go back and rest?"

"Jingyue, help the girl back to rest."

Jingyue went over in response.

But when she reached Mingyao's side, before she could offer her hand to help him, Mingyao waved her hand and said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say to my mother."

Jingyue didn't know what she was going to say. After hesitating for a while, she stepped aside.

Mingyao suddenly knelt down.

Her appearance frightened Zhou Zhaoru, and even Ming Yuandu frowned when he looked at her.

"What are you doing?"

Zhou Zhaoru frowned and said, "Hurry up and help the girl up!"

Jingyue and Qianshuang quickly reached out to help.

But Mingyao didn't know where she got the strength from, and she just knelt on the ground and refused to get up.

"Mom, please listen to me first."

Mingyao insisted.

Jingyue didn't want to pull the man up by force, so she looked at Zhou Zhaoru who was sitting at the top, and finally stepped aside.

Ming Yao knelt upright on the ground and said to Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu above: "Today, so many things happened, causing Arang to be injured and sister Yanyan to be wronged. It is because I did not discipline my subordinates well. I am guilty."

Zhou Zhaoru pursed his lips and said, "The punishment has been done. You should take good care of your servants in the future."

The blame in her heart had mostly disappeared at this moment.

Especially when he saw her sick face, he felt even softer: "Okay, get up, you are still sick."

After she finished speaking, she asked Jingyue to help the man up, but Mingyao's next words shocked Zhou Zhaoru.

"My parents love me and can't bear to punish me, but I feel really guilty and can't face you."

"Dad, Mom," Mingyao said with courage, "I want to stay in the village for a while."

Mingyao's voice was not loud, but at this moment it was so deafening that it shocked everyone.

For a while, there was no sound.

Zhou Zhaoru was the first to react, and immediately said anxiously: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did you go to the manor for no reason?"

Ming Yuandu also frowned.

He was dissatisfied with the series of events that happened today, and he had threatened his rebellious son with these words before.

But Ming Yuandu didn't really want to send Ming Yao to Zhuangzi.

Over the years, she has worked hard even if she has not made any contributions.

Thanks to her, his wife's madness has been cured in recent years. Even if we don't talk about this, she even went to the gates of hell to save Xiao Rang when she was a child. The Ming family owes her that.

If this gets out, the Ming family will suffer the same fate as they did when they treated their savior.

He lowered his voice, looked at Mingyao and said, "Okay, no one is going to drive you away, just stay here peacefully."

"No matter what happens, you are still the daughter of our mansion, just like Yanyan, you are our daughter."

"Who wants to chase my sister away?"

Ming Jingrang came out at this time.

He heard the noise inside and knew Mingyao had arrived. Fearing that she wouldn't be able to handle it alone and something would happen, he tore off the cloth that bound her feet. Then he jumped out with great effort, with one foot dangling in the air, like a golden rooster standing on one leg.

Zhou Zhaoru had already been troubled by his adopted daughter.

When he looked back, he saw his little ancestor coming out like this, and he was so anxious that he saw stars.

"What are you doing!"

"Who told you to come out like this!"

As Zhou Zhaoru spoke, he let go of Ming Jin's hand, went over to support Ming Jingrang, and wanted to ask someone to help him in first.

But Ming Jingrang stiffened his neck.

Although one of his legs was weak, he still stood there straight and refused to walk no matter who helped him. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wherever my sister goes, I will go. If she wants to go to the manor, then fine, I will go to live in the manor too!"

When Ming Yuandu and Zhou Zhaoru heard this, they felt a headache and were upset.

Just as he was about to scold her, Mingyao spoke first, "Arrang, apologize to your parents!"

"Sister?"

Ming Jingrang was stunned.

He looked at Mingyao with dull eyes.

Mingyao looked at him with a serious face, without any of her usual gentleness: "What did I tell you before? Is this how you threaten my parents? Arang, you really disappoint me!"

"Sister, I..."

Ming Jingrang suddenly panicked.

"I..." He was at a loss, but under Ming Yao's majestic gaze, he still lowered his head and apologized to Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu: "...Dad, Mom, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that."

"You little bastard, you were born to collect debts from your mother."

Zhou Zhaoru's eyes turned red as he spoke, and he slapped Ming Jingrang's arm in annoyance.

Ming Jingrang ignored her and continued to look in Ming Yao's direction and shouted, "Sister, I will listen to you, but you have to promise me to stay at home and not go anywhere!"

"If you leave, I'll go with you!"

After saying that, he turned his head away from Mingyao and looked at Zhou Zhaoru and Ming Yuandu, begging, "Dad, Mom, please don't let my sister go. I will be obedient and study hard in the future, and I will never cause trouble again."

Zhou Zhaoru had never thought of letting his adopted daughter leave.

Just as he was about to speak, Ming Jin, who had not spoken since Ming Yao appeared behind him, suddenly spoke: "Mom."

The girl's clear female voice broke the solid atmosphere that belonged to the four members of the Ming family, and made everyone's attention fall on her again.

"Yanyan, what's wrong?" Zhou Zhaoru turned his head.

The girl stood under the lamp, the orange candlelight illuminating her delicate face.

Ming Jin did not speak immediately, but suddenly turned and walked towards the yard. Everyone didn't know what she was going to do for a moment, and watched her actions with confusion in their eyes.

Ming Jingrang, however, saw her getting closer and closer to Ming Yao, and thinking of her superb performance just now, he immediately got angry and shouted, "Stop right there, what are you going to do to my sister!"

Ming Jin didn't look back or stop. She walked towards Ming Yao step by step.

The sixteen-year-old Mingyao had not yet grown up, and did not have the majestic aura that she later had when wearing the phoenix robe.

The woman in her memory who was standing in front of her with a big belly, looking down at her, mocking her for her scheming which ended in failure, is now just a poor and helpless girl.

Even though he is full of schemes, he is easy to guess.

Ming Jin clearly saw that as she got closer, Ming Yao's face became more and more tense, and there was fear and trembling in her eyes.

Could it be that she would be afraid too?

Sure enough, as long as you are fearless, others will be afraid of you.

A sneer flashed in Mingjin's eyes.

"Stay away from my sister!" Ming Jingrang's voice came from behind again.

He was extremely worried and pushed people aside to come over.

Zhou Zhaoru was naturally worried, but looking at her young son's appearance, she couldn't help but become a little worried.

Looking at the girl in the distance, Zhou Zhaoru hesitated and called out, "Yanyan, you..."

The words are not finished yet.

Mingjin suddenly helped Mingyao up.

Under the stunned and shocked gazes of the crowd, Ming Jin supported Ming Yao and walked towards them step by step. Then the bright and beautiful girl raised her face, smiled softly and said to them: "Dad, Mom, what I said just now still counts."

"Sister has been filial to me for ten years and saved Arang. She is a benefactor of our Ming family in both moral and legal terms."

"I'm used to this identity and name, so I'll give it to you."

"I'll just change my name."

Under the lights, wherever everyone's eyes were, the stunningly beautiful girl was smiling and talking freely, without a trace of grievance when she spoke.

She is about the same age as the girl next to her, and they both have similar moles.

But no one looking at them would think they are sisters.

The girl on the left was originally pretty, but compared with the girl in purple on the right, there is no comparison at all.

Especially at this moment, she looked like a fool, which made her look even more stiff and dull compared to the girl with a bright smile on her right.

Mingjin turned his head.

Looking at Mingyao who was frozen at the moment, she still smiled and asked, "What do you think, sister?"
