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

Ming Jin actually didn't notice what Zhou Zhaoru was doing.

But even if she noticed, she wouldn't care.

At noon that day, she and her second brother and others had lunch with their grandmother, and also chatted with her grandmother alone. Seeing that her grandmother's eyelids drooped and she began to feel sleepy, she knew that she was going to take a nap, so she prepared to say goodbye.

She promised Gu Mingheng yesterday that she would go to the palace to see him today.

After grandma falls asleep.

Ming Jin then stood up and left.

Aunt Cheng wanted Cuiwei to send her out, but Mingjin refused and left with Yingge by herself.

On the way out.

Mingjin still accepts gifts from others.

Yingge followed her.

When they reached a certain place, Mingjin suddenly saw Yingge beside him stopped.

"what happened?"

Ming Jin asked, following Ying Ge's gaze and looking in that direction. He saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure standing behind a plum tree.

Say familiar.

It’s because this person, Ming Jin, looks so familiar.

She and Mingyao had fought for a lifetime.

How could she not be familiar with her?

Said strange.

It’s because Mingyao today is very different from the person in her memory.

Ming Yao used to be bright and generous. Everyone who saw her would praise her. But now, Ming Yao has lost a lot of weight. Her face is so thin that there is almost no extra flesh on it. She also looks much quieter.

Mingjin didn't know how long she had been there.

I don't know if she was just passing by or waiting there on purpose to see her.

She just looked at Mingyao's eyes, which were dark and a little heavy when looking at her, and raised her eyebrows indifferently.

She didn't shy away or go over to ask what she was going to do.

She just stood there, looking into Mingyao's eyes, wanting to see what she was going to do.

In the end, Mingyao was the first to look away.

The moment Ming Jin looked at her, her eyes flickered and her eyelashes trembled slightly. Soon, in the next moment, she seemed to have become as weak and pitiful as before.

Just like just now, that not-so-short eye contact, those eyes that were emotionless yet seemed to be filled with countless emotions, did not exist.

She bowed to Ming Jin from a distance, then immediately walked away.

Mingjin just watched her leave.

"She looks a little weird."

Yingge's voice came from beside me.

She looked in the direction Mingyao left and frowned.

Mingjin hummed.

"Do you want me to keep an eye on it?" Ying asked her.

"Need not."

Ming Jin said: "She is now isolated and helpless in the Marquis' Mansion and can't do anything."

After she finished speaking, she withdrew her gaze, not wanting to waste any extra time on Mingyao.

"Let's go."

After hearing this, Brother Ying didn't say anything more.

The master and servant continued to walk outside. Halfway through, they met Jingyue who had been waiting for a long time.

Jingyue was obviously sent by Zhou Zhaoru.

Seeing Ming Jin coming over, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over to greet him: "Princess!"

Mingjin doesn't have any feelings for Jingyue.

Although Jingyue was not like Cui's mother, who had helped her before, she had never taken advantage of her misfortune.

She was just a servant who obeyed her master's orders and had no control over what she did.

Just like this moment.

Mingjin knew why she came and had no intention of making things difficult for her.

He stopped when he saw Jingyue coming.

"Princess, Madam wants you to come over and talk." As if afraid that Mingjin would refuse, Jingyue showed a pitiful look, "Madam asked me to take you over today. I beg you to have mercy on me and go over."

Ming Jin really wanted to laugh when he saw her like this.

She really laughed.

She asked Jingyue: "Is this your own idea or hers?"

When Jingyue heard this, she looked hesitant.

It was her idea to act pitiful, but why did she act pitiful? Wasn't it because of the lady? The lady was obviously determined to see the princess today, and she gave her a death order, saying that if she didn't bring the princess over, she would be punished directly.

Jingyue didn't want to be punished.

I can only put my hope and ask the princess for help.

She felt that the princess was easy to talk to.

But Jingyue didn't dare to say these words... She was hesitating about how to start the conversation.

Mingjin looked at her, said nothing, and prepared to leave.

When Jingyue saw that she was about to leave, her expression changed immediately. She shouted "Princess" and was about to go over to stop her, but Yingge blocked her way with a scimitar.

The scimitar was not unsheathed.

But for a woman like Jingyue, who had been staying in the backyard, she was naturally shocked.

She had stopped and her face turned extremely pale.

He tried to retreat in a hurry.

Mingjin ignored Jingyue and was about to call Yingge to leave.

A voice came from the front.

"what happened?"

Ming Jin looked over and saw it was Ming Yuandu.

Seeing him coming with a frown, she waited for others to come up to him before she bowed and called him "Father" in a lukewarm manner.

Ming Yuandu hummed softly.

When he saw this scene, his temples began to throb. He knew that Zhou Zhaoru must be making trouble again.

I warned her yesterday, but I didn't expect her to have such a short memory! Ming Yuandu was extremely upset and asked Jingyue with a gloomy face: "What's going on!"

But how could Jingyue dare to say it?

She stammered, lowered her head, and dared not utter a word.

Finally, Ming Jin said calmly, "Mother asked Jingyue to call me over. If I don't go, Jingyue will be punished. She is just following orders, so father doesn't need to blame her."

“——This person!”

When Ming Yuandu heard Ming Jin's explanation, his expression suddenly became even uglier.

He gritted his teeth, frowned, and asked Jingyue to go back first.

Jingyue naturally didn't dare to disobey and retreated with a pale face.

After she left, only Ming Jin, his servant, and Ming Yuandu were left here. Ming Yuandu looked at his daughter's indifferent face. He opened his mouth. In fact, he had a lot to say to Ming Jin, but in the end he just looked at her and said dryly, "You don't have to worry about your mother. If you want to see her, you can see her. If you don't want to see her, you don't have to see her. No one can force you, and no one will say anything."

He was making a promise to Mingjin.

No one would accuse her of being unfilial because of these things.

Ming Jin glanced at Ming Yuandu.

But she only glanced at him and then looked away: "Thank you, father."

Her tone remained flat.

Ming Yuandu obviously realized that she was just being polite to him and was not really grateful to him.

The more he thought about the past recently, the more he regretted it.

She regretted choosing Mingyao, regretted not treating her better after she came back, regretted allowing Zhou Zhaoru to tolerate her again and again under the pretext of peace, and even regretted letting Zhou Zhaoru mistake someone else for her just to keep the family at peace...

If those things hadn't happened, their family wouldn't be like this now.

But it's no use regretting it.

He was no longer qualified to say anything to her.

He suppressed his regrets and said to Mingjin, "Your grandmother told us yesterday, and I promise you that neither I nor my family will do anything wrong just because you are the princess."

"Dad will take good care of himself and the family and won't let them influence you."

Ming Jin was silent for a while this time before he responded, "Yeah, I understand."

On this point, she had never doubted her good father. He cared more about the long-term prosperity of the Ming family than anyone else, so he would naturally not seek his own death.

So in his previous life he would choose Mingyao and give up her.

He just made the best and most correct choice as the head of the family.

In fact, when Mingjin thinks about these things now, he doesn't feel as sad as before. People will only feel lost and painful towards people and things that they still have hope for.

When you don't care, naturally those things won't be able to knock you down.

But these experiences are not always good ones.

Mingjin really didn't want to say anything to him anymore.

"Do you have anything else to do? If not, I'll go back first."

Seeing her depressed look, Ming Yuandu knew that she didn't want to say more. Even if he had something to say to her, he couldn't say it now.

He could only say in a hoarse voice: "...You should go back first and have a good rest. If you have any problems, come and tell your family. Don't carry it all by yourself."

After saying that, he made way for Mingjin.

Mingjin bowed to everyone, then prepared to leave with Yingge without hesitation.

But just as Ming Jin was about to pass Ming Yuandu, he suddenly heard him shout, "Yan Yan!"

Mingjin stopped.

Just as he was about to ask him if there was anything else, he heard a sentence in his ear: "...Dad is sorry for you."

Mingjin was about to turn around, but suddenly stopped.

She stood there frozen.

The voice in my ear continued, "Dad knows that what I did was wrong, and I also know that you feel wronged and sad. Dad... doesn't ask for your forgiveness."

"Your grandmother is right. Our family has never done anything for you. Dad just hopes that you will be well in the future."

"Yanyan, for your own sake, you have to be good to yourself in the future."

Ming Yuandu's eyes had turned red at some point, and his voice became choked.

He looked at Mingjin, watching her stop.

He thought she would say something, but from beginning to end, she said nothing. She just stood there for a long time, and then left without saying a word.

Ming Yuandu watched Ming Jin leave, and his eyes became even redder.

At this moment, my heart became even more painful.

An unprecedented pain swept through his entire chest, making him want to squat down in agony.

Mingjin didn't look back.

She walked out step by step.

Ming Jin, who wanted to forgive him, was able to forgive him, and was the most qualified to say forgiveness, is no longer here.

No one can ask the person who deserves the apology the most to forgive those who have hurt her.

Even she can't do it now.

If she easily forgave them now.

Then, at that time, Ming Jin, who pitifully and humbly begged them for a little love and fairness, who was almost driven crazy by them...

Ming Jin, who lived in darkness and struggled but couldn't get out.

How pitiful she must be.

Who could hug her at that time?

……

On the carriage.

Brother Ying could feel that Mingjin was in a bad mood.

She didn't know why she suddenly felt so bad. She didn't have those insights or feelings. She just felt that her master was suddenly a little sad.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only look at Ming Jin and ask, "Do you want to go home and rest?"

Ming Jin had been looking at the scenery outside the car window, silent until she heard this sentence, she spoke in a hoarse voice: "Go to the palace."

She especially wants to see Gu Mingheng now.

She wanted to stay by his side, even if she didn't do anything, just stay together quietly.
