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

Wait until breakfast is finished.

The embroiderer was invited over.

In the house next to Zhou Zhaoru's is the flower hall used for entertaining guests.

The embroiderer’s surname is Tan, and she is an old acquaintance in the Marquis’s Mansion.

She brought two apprentices from the store and came over to pay her respects to Zhou Zhaoru.

On the way here, she had already learned about what happened in the mansion from Mother Cui, and knew that the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion who had been missing for ten years had been found.

She was an embroiderer commonly used in the mansions of noble families in the capital. She had excellent skills and a silver tongue.

I had already prepared a plan in my mind on the way here.

But even though he had already prepared himself, when he really came in, he saw the girl sitting next to Zhou Zhaoru who looked very similar to the Marquis's wife.

Madam Qin was still stunned.

It was not until she heard a cough that Madam Tan came back to her senses. She laughed and said, "Look at how useless I am. I thought I was a fairy from heaven who came down to earth. I, a mortal, was stunned."

"Madam really gave birth to a good daughter. The young lady looks exactly like you, as if they were carved from the same mold." Madam Qin really lived up to her reputation as a famous talker. She praised both of them with just one sentence.

Everyone likes to hear nice words, and Zhou Zhaoru is no exception.

In her heart, she was very pleased with her own daughter, so she was naturally happy to hear others say such nice words.

He did not blame Madam Qin for being rude at the moment. Instead, he smiled at her affectionately.

"What a mouth you have."

She held Mingjin's hand and said to Madam Tan, "Jin'er has just come back, please make a few more clothes for her. It doesn't matter what the material is, but they must be fashionable and good-looking. Don't let others do it."

Madam Tan said hurriedly: "Look at what Madam said. The girl is so beautiful that she would look good even if she was wearing a cloth bag."

"Just wait and see. I will definitely make a few more nice clothes for you. They will definitely make you a big hit and everyone will like them."

Zhou Zhaoru was satisfied.

She nodded and said to Mingjin, "If you have anything you like, just tell Madam Qin and make as many as you want."

Although there are rules at home.

But Jin'er had just come back, and Zhou Zhaoru wanted to make up for those ten years to her, so why would he care about whether it was a rule or not?

Mingjin didn't say anything, just nodded.

Zhou Zhaoru had to see the manager afterwards, otherwise she would just leave the person here and watch over him personally.

We can only let him go for now.

"Go." She said and patted Mingjin's hand again before letting go.

Mingjin stood up straight away.

Zhou Zhaoru then said to Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai, who were a little reserved, "You guys go over too." His voice was obviously much softer.

But both of them have gotten used to it and don't think it's a big deal.

He stood up, bowed to Zhou Zhaoru, and followed Ming Jin out.

Mingyao, however, didn't move. She became much quieter now.

If Zhou Zhaoru hadn't happened to turn around and see her, he probably wouldn't have noticed that she hadn't left.

"Yaoyao, why don't you go?" Zhou Zhaoru looked surprised.

When Ming Yao heard her voice, she replied softly, "I have enough clothes, so I won't go." As she spoke, she took Zhou Zhaoru's arm and acted like a spoiled child to him, "I'll stay here with mom."

Although she is an adopted daughter.

But she is also the daughter whom he has loved sincerely for ten years.

Seeing her sticking to her like this, Zhou Zhaoru was naturally very happy. She smiled and patted Mingyao's arm, and all the resentment and depression she had towards her last night completely disappeared.

However, Zhou Zhaoru still said: "You and Yanyan are both my good daughters. Don't worry, if Yanyan has it, I will not treat you unfairly."

After that, Zhou Zhaoru lowered his voice and whispered to Ming Yao: "Even if you have too many clothes, they are also a symbol of your status. Don't let others think too much."

Mingyao knew what her mother meant. She knew that her mother didn't want others to look down on her.

She was deeply moved by what she heard, and the uneasiness that had lingered in her heart just now was also dissipated a lot because of Zhou Zhaoru's words.

"mother--"

She called Zhou Zhaoru sincerely, and her eyes gradually turned red.

Zhou Zhaoru smiled and touched her head.

She let Mingyao rest her head on her shoulder, and she stroked Mingyao's head and said to her: "You were wronged yesterday. When I choose a servant for Yanyan, you should also choose one. You are also a girl in our mansion, and you can't have only one personal maid by your side."

Mingyao nodded and thanked Zhou Zhaoru.

After that, Zhou Zhaoru had nothing else to say and asked Mingyao to go next door to pick out clothes.

Mingyao was actually still a little reluctant.

She didn't tell Zhou Zhaoru the truth. The reason she didn't want to go was, firstly, she really wanted to accompany Zhou Zhaoru, and secondly... she was actually a little afraid of that woman.

Can't tell.

But she was just a little afraid of her.

She didn't know if it was because she had occupied her identity for ten years and felt guilty, or because of the feeling she had and her eyes... She always didn't dare to look her in the face.

But Mingyao also knew that she couldn't go against her will.

If she continued to waste time like this, I'm afraid mother would think that she was unwilling to get along well with that woman. Now that woman was the apple of mother's eye. If mother really noticed her feelings, I'm afraid she wouldn't be so gentle to her.

Take a deep breath.

Mingyao finally stood up with a smile.

"Then my daughter will go first and come back to accompany you later." Under Zhou Zhaoru's gentle and smiling gaze, Ming Yao bowed to Zhou Zhaoru and then walked out.

Zhou Zhaoru watched her leave.

When it was out of sight, he looked away.

Zhou Zhaoru was naturally satisfied with her daughter being sensible and her adopted daughter being well-behaved. In a good mood, she asked Jingyue to tell the stewards that they could come in and answer questions.

Mother Cui offered her another cup of hot tea.

When she heard Zhou Zhaoru's instructions to select slaves for Mingjin, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will personally arrange this matter and will definitely select some reliable and useful ones for you."

Zhou Zhaoru was still confident in her work, so after hearing her say that, he didn't say anything more.

It was Mother Cui who said one more thing.

"You asked the Fifth Miss and the Ninth Young Master to make clothes. As for the Third House..." She was referring to Ming Rong and Ming Jingxiao, the daughters of Concubine Yu.

Zhou Zhaoru frowned when he heard these two names.

Zhou Zhaoru still remembered Mingrong's tantrum yesterday. She wanted to remind them so that they would know what the rules were. But when she heard what Cui's mother said, she just sneered and said, "Let them tantrum."

Mother Cui was also dissatisfied with the brother and sister, but after hearing what Zhou Zhaoru said, she didn't say anything more.

When Mingrong found out about this, he naturally made a big fuss.

Especially knowing that even Ming Sheng, who was so weak that he couldn't even fart, had it, but he didn't, Ming Rong was furious. He wanted to go over and make a big fuss, but was stopped and scolded by Aunt Yu.

Blame her. If she hadn't spoken without thinking yesterday, how could this have happened?

It was obvious that Zhou Zhaoru came here to scold them for being disobedient.

She could see through Zhou Zhaoru's thoughts and warned Mingrong: "Next time you lose your temper with me, please look carefully at the situation and the person. Your aunt is very fond of her precious daughter right now. If you continue to be so foolish as to seek death, I will never care about you again!"

Naturally, these words did not threaten Mingrong.

Mingrong still had that arrogant look on his face, looking sullen and very unhappy.

Aunt Yu also knew where her daughter's lifeline was, and was afraid that she would really cause trouble, so she hurriedly said, "The one in our main house is a careless person, and your father only knows how to eat, drink and have fun all day long. He is good-looking but useless. If you still want to marry into a good family, you better keep quiet!"

"You really pissed off your aunt, and I'll arrange a marriage for you later, and see where you'll cry."

When Mingrong heard this, his expression changed.

Although he was still mumbling, "She dares!", the expression on his face relaxed and he dared not make trouble anymore.

But he couldn't help but say a few bad things about Ming Yao, thinking that she was useless and not even as good as a stranger who had just returned home.

But these are all things for later.

Mingrong didn't know at this time that Mingjin and the others were still making clothes.

Madam Qin is a businesswoman, and the Anyuan Marquis' Mansion is her big customer, so she naturally praised Mingjin a lot.

"Girls have fair skin, so they can handle any color."

"But I see that with your temperament, you can choose some neutral colors like purple and red. Your facial features are majestic and can support them. Colors like green and light yellow are also OK. When you usually have tea with your sisters, you will look approachable." Madam Qin was talking to Ming Jin.

Ming Jin had dealt with her a lot in the past, and he knew that she had a unique vision, so he didn't say anything at the moment: "Just do as my wife wants."

But I can't help but feel that it's a bit interesting.

In her previous life, it was Madam Tan who made clothes for her, but at that time, Madam Tan mostly recommended light-colored clothes.

I have never heard of such words as "having majestic facial features and being able to support it".

It can be seen that people can always change.

Environment and current events can shape people.

But if one could live a life of innocence and happiness, who would want to become like this? Ming Jin raised the corners of his lips, half smiling.

Mrs. Tan didn't see it, so she just smiled and said, "Then I'll cut the size for you."

Mingjin let her go.

Mingyao came over at this time.

Although she was afraid of Ming Jin and didn't want to have too much contact with her, Ming Yao still maintained a gentle and friendly look on her face. As soon as she came in, she greeted Ming Jin: "How did Seventh Sister choose? Mother asked me to give you some advice."

Ming Jin glanced at her but didn't answer.

Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai naturally wouldn't interrupt. They just lowered their heads and picked up things, treating themselves as air.

In the end, it was Madam Tan who returned to Mingyao.

After all, Mingyao used to be her big customer, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Marquis's wife still loved this adopted daughter very much.

Madam Qin didn't want to offend anyone, so she replied to Mingyao with a smile.

After hearing this, Mingyao felt a little relieved.

She also realized that Mingjin no longer liked her.

That's right.

Just now at his mother's side, Mingjin's smiling face was really creepy.

Now is the real Ming Jin.

If my mother knew Mingjin was like this in private...

Mingyao's heart suddenly moved.

Looking at Ming Jin who had a indifferent expression over there, she suddenly took a few steps towards her.

It is this time.

Madam Qin is going to measure Mingjin's neck.

She said to Mingjin, "Miss, lower your head. I will measure your neck so that you won't be uncomfortable wearing clothes with vertical collars that are not the right size."

Ming Jin said nothing and lowered his head in obedience.

The outfit she wore today also had a vertical collar, which just happened to cover the wound on her neck.

But since Madam Tan wanted to measure the size now, she naturally had to put the thread close to the flesh to measure it clearly.

But she didn't know the scar was there.

No one present knew about it except Mingjin's personal maid.

When her neck was exposed, Madam Qin's hands trembled slightly. Ming Yao, who was close to him and wanted to talk to Ming Jin on purpose, exclaimed in shock when she saw the mottled wound.

"what!"

When Mingyao realized what she had shouted, it was too late to shut up.

With her hands still covering her lips, Ming Yao suddenly came to her senses as she looked at Ming Jin's indifferent eyes that slightly raised up. Her face changed slightly and she put down her hands: "Seventh sister, I..."

Ming Jin, however, looked away again.

She ignored Mingyao and looked directly at Madam Tan and asked, "Madam Tan, are you okay?"

Madam Tan had been through a lot, so although she was shocked, she didn't lose her color. When she heard Ming Jin's question, she hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

As she spoke, she tied the thread and called the accompanying apprentice to remember the size. Then she acted as if nothing had happened and said to Mingjin, "Then let's just take the ones we just talked about. If the girl wants anything else, just send someone to pass on the message."

Mingjin nodded.

She straightened her collar.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." The most important thing for her today was to go out and find Hua Sui. She had already wasted enough time.

Madam Tan had nothing else to do, so she said quickly, "It's alright, go slowly, young lady."

Mingjin nodded.

Before leaving, she glanced at Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai again and said, "Thank you, Madam Tan, for taking care of my elder sister and younger brother."

The two people who had originally lowered their heads raised their heads when they heard this, and they looked at Ming Jin with disbelief.

Ming Jin didn't look at them for long and just walked out.

Ming Yao watched her leave and quickly chased after her: "Seventh sister, you, you wait for me!"

Ming Jin did not stop until she reached the yard. She heard the footsteps behind her still going on, then she stopped and turned around.

Mingyao didn't seem to expect that she would actually stop.

He couldn't stop his steps for a moment, and when he finally stood firm, he almost fell forward.

"Seventh, Seventh Sister."

Ming Yao panted and spoke to Ming Jin: "I didn't mean it just now, you, don't be angry with me."

She apologized to Mingjin.

Ming Jin listened attentively. After listening, he looked at Ming Yao's pitiful and frightened face and suddenly smiled: "Ming Yao."

This was the first time in this life that she called Mingyao by her name.

This was a name that once belonged to her, but in the end she hated it so much.

Even Ming Yao was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. She looked at Ming Jin, nodded, and replied, "I'm here."

Mingjin looked at her and smiled.

At this moment, besides Mingyao and Mingjin, there was only Mingjin's personal maid.

The others were far away, and when they looked over, they could only see Ming Jin smiling, but they didn't know what she was saying when she looked at Ming Yao -

"Are you tired of pretending?"

"You're not tired, but I'm tired just looking at you."

"Put away your good sister look and don't mess with me."

Ming Jin uttered one sarcastic sentence after another. Even though Ming Yao knew that Ming Jin didn't like her, she didn't expect her to be so bold, let alone to confront her directly.

She was stunned for a moment.

Even when she saw Ming Jin approaching, she forgot to avoid him.

Ren Renming Jin whispered in her ear: "I don't mind if you are Mingyao or someone else, but if you do anything to me again, guess what I will do to you?"
