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

Here the master and servant walked out.

On the other side, Mingyao also left with a distraught look on her face.

When Ming Jinghuai and Ming Sheng finished picking out clothes and came out, there was no trace of them in the yard.

He knew that there were other people in Zhou Zhaoru's room, and he also knew that Zhou Zhaoru would not be happy to see them.

Ming Sheng just asked the maid serving outside to help pass the message back, so that Zhou Zhaoru would not come back and say that they were rude.

On the way out.

Ming Jinghuai suddenly took the initiative to pull Ming Sheng's sleeve.

"What's wrong, Xiao Huai?" Ming Sheng lowered his head.

She was a quiet person at home, but she was very gentle towards her half-brother.

The brother and sister usually get together and talk a lot.

The two of them shared the same suffering. Both were born to aunts, and were not loved by their mothers or valued by their fathers. In addition, their two biological mothers had a good relationship and they often got together, so naturally their relationship was not bad.

"Fifth sister, do you think Seventh sister suffered a lot in the past?" Ming Jinghuai asked Ming Sheng in a low voice.

Ming Sheng knew that he was thinking of the scar on his seventh sister's neck.

Seeing his two little eyebrows tightly knitted together, Ming Sheng was silent for a moment, then touched his head soothingly: "No matter what, Seventh Sister is back safely, and she won't suffer anymore in the future."

Ming Jinghuai pursed his lips and said, "But Aunt Xu said that Seventh Sister must still be very sad."

Aunt Xu is his biological mother.

"Seventh sister suffered for ten years outside. She finally came back, but someone had already replaced her at home. Now her name and identity have been taken away. Although Seventh sister looks fine on the surface, she must be sad in her heart." Ming Jinghuai lowered his head and said in a low voice.

He actually doesn't have much feelings for Mingjin.

When Mingjin went missing, he was only two years old, too young to remember anything.

If no one else had mentioned it, he wouldn't even know that Mingyao was picked up from outside.

"Xiao Huai!"

Ming Sheng was shocked because he didn't expect him to say such a thing.

She looked around hurriedly, fearing that someone might hear her and tell her mother or sixth sister.

Fortunately.

There were not many people on this road.

Ming Sheng breathed a sigh of relief. When he lowered his head and spoke to Ming Jinghuai, he inevitably gave him a warning: "Don't say such things again in the future. If your father and mother hear it, they will punish you again."

"I know." Although Ming Jinghuai is young, he is very sensible.

He said to Ming Sheng: "I will only tell my fifth sister, and I won't even tell my aunt."

Aunt Xu is timid, and Ming Jinghuai doesn't dare to make her worry.

But he was really uncomfortable and could only talk to his fifth sister, who was the only person in the family who would listen to everything he said.

Ming Sheng felt relieved when he heard him say this.

She didn't know what to say, so she could only touch Ming Jinghuai's head again.

Ming Jinghuai let her touch him, and as he walked, he kept saying, "I like Seventh Sister. Although she looks cold, she is very kind to us."

If Seventh Sister hadn't said those words today, Mother wouldn't have made clothes for them.

Ming Jinghuai is not that old, at the age of twelve, he is between a child and a teenager.

He had felt so little warmth in his daily life that he kept these little bits of kindness in his heart.

Ming Sheng pursed his lips: "Seventh sister is a good person."

"Fifth sister, can I play with Seventh sister in the future? Seventh sister is all alone, and I want to be nicer to her." Ming Jinghuai suddenly raised his head.

There was a twinkle in his eyes.

Ming Sheng thought about it and didn't say no: "Okay, but if Seventh Sister doesn't like it, forget it, don't bother her."

Ming Jinghuai smiled and nodded, saying "OK" crisply.

He knows his limits.

He then asked Ming Sheng: "Does Fifth Sister want to go with us?"

Ming Sheng hesitated when he heard this.

She also wanted to go, but she was already at the age to get married... She now just hoped to live a peaceful life, waiting for her parents to arrange a decent marriage for her so that her aunt would be relieved.

I don't want to get involved in the fight between my sixth and seventh sisters.

Xiao Huai is still young, so nothing would happen even if she went to find Seventh Sister, but she...she didn't want to become a thorn in Sixth Sister's eyes.

"I'm not going."

She lowered her head and her voice became much lower.

Ming Jinghuai saw her embarrassment and didn't say much. He held Ming Sheng's hand soothingly, and when Ming Sheng looked at him, he smiled at her.

After seeing this, Ming Sheng smiled faintly and smiled at Ming Jinghuai.

However, Ming Jinghuai still couldn't find Ming Jin. Ming Jin had already left the Marquis' Mansion in a carriage.

An hour had passed when Zhou Zhaoru found out that Ming Jin had left.

The stewards left.

Zhou Zhaoru felt a sore back and dizziness from sitting so hard.

Jingyue stood behind her, gently pressing her head to help her relax.

Mother Cui gave her another cup of tea.

Zhou Zhaoru reached out to take it, took a sip, and the fatigue gradually dissipated a lot.

"What's going on next door?" Zhou Zhaoru asked casually.

Madam Cui replied respectfully, "Mrs. Tan has already left, and the clothes and materials for the young ladies and masters have been ordered."

"I didn't want to disturb you from talking to the stewards, so I didn't come to answer you directly."

Zhou Zhaoru hummed lightly, not caring at all. Hearing this, he just asked, "Where's Yanyan?"

Mother Cui's expression changed slightly, but this time it took a while before she replied, "The young lady has left the house."

"Leaving the house?"

Zhou Zhaoru frowned: "Why are you going out for no reason?"

Mother Cui said to her, "You forgot what the girl told you yesterday. She said she wanted to go around and see what changes have taken place in the capital."

After she said that, Zhou Zhaoru remembered it again, but she still felt a little uncomfortable.

He didn't let Jingyue continue pressing her head.

In the past, Yaoyao and the others would come and tell her before going out.

Mother Cui had served her for so many years, so she certainly knew what she was thinking. Seeing that her face had turned colder, she suddenly said, "There is something I don't know if I should tell you."

Zhou Zhaoru's emotions were all over his face. Hearing what she said, he glanced at her and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. When did you start to become so hesitant?"

Mother Cui then replied: "Just now when Madam Qin was measuring the girl's neck, she saw the wound on her neck..."

Zhou Zhaoru naturally knew what wound she was talking about.

His face changed slightly.

Mother Cui glanced at her expression and said hurriedly, "Don't worry, I have already told Madam Tan about this. Madam Tan is a smart person and knows what can and cannot be said."

Zhou Zhaoru finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Just thinking about this scar makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Mother Cui continued, "It wasn't a big deal, but the Sixth Miss was a little scared and screamed at the Seventh Miss..."

When Jingyue heard this, she couldn't help but look at Mother Cui, but she still kept her duty and didn't say anything.

Zhou Zhaoru's thoughts were pulled back to reality. She looked at Mother Cui and frowned: "What did you say?"

"Yaoyao screamed at Yanyan?"

Mother Cui nodded: "The Sixth Miss must have seen it for the first time, so it's normal for her to be scared for a while, but the Seventh Miss probably felt a little uncomfortable, so she left soon."

This makes sense why Yanyan didn't come to talk to her.

Zhou Zhaoru had just felt uncomfortable about Ming Jin leaving without saying a word, but now he was filled with heartache and dislike for Ming Yao.

"She seems to be a steady person on weekdays, but now this kind of thing is worth making a fuss about. I think she is becoming more and more out of control."

Zhou Zhaoru said this and didn't say anything else. Naturally, he didn't pursue the matter any further and Ming Jin left home silently.

Seeing that she finally stopped pursuing the matter, Mother Cui breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Mingjin is still on the way.

The carriage moved forward, seemingly walking aimlessly on the long street, allowing Ming Jin to enjoy the scenery outside, but in fact Ming Jin had only one destination -

Jing'er Hutong in Xicheng District.

If what Hua Sui said was true, she should be working in Jinger Hutong now.

I was looking forward to meeting her.

She was even excited about the arrival of this time.

Mingjin looked outside with burning eyes.

As the scenery outside became more familiar, her heart began to beat faster and faster.

It'll be here soon.

Chunyu accompanied Mingjin in the carriage.

Although the girl had her back to her, she could still see the expression on her face very clearly.

The girl didn't say where she was going, she just asked the carriage to go west.

At first she thought the girl just wanted to look around, but the closer they got to Xicheng District, the more she felt that the girl actually had somewhere she wanted to go.

The expression on the girl's face at this moment proved that she was right.

After two days of getting along, it was the first time she saw such excitement and joy on the girl's face.

What is the girl thinking about?

Where is the girl going?

Chunyu was full of doubts, but she didn't dare to ask.

When the carriage reached Xicheng District and was approaching Chaotian Palace, Ming Jin suddenly said, "Stop here."

Chun Yu was startled, looked outside, and said, "Girl, there are too many people here."

Chaotian Palace is a Taoist temple.

Taoism and Buddhism are both popular in Daqian nowadays. Buddhism has been popular for a long time. In the early years, Daqian also had an emperor who admired Taoism very much, which made Taoism become popular as well.

As a result, there are now as many Taoist temples as Buddhist temples in the capital.

This Chaotian Palace is one of the best Taoist temples in the capital, and it has always been very popular.

Today is neither the first nor the fifteenth day of the lunar month, but there are still many pilgrims in Chaotian Palace. Chunyu thought she was going to Chaotian Palace to pay homage, so she said, "If you want to go, why don't you go back and ask the government to send a notice and have them clear the gate in advance. There are too many people today. If you go in like this, you will definitely be squeezed."

She was afraid that Mingjin would get hurt.

Until she noticed that the girl was looking at her without saying a word.

Chunyu was afraid, so her voice of dissuasion gradually became lower. She lowered her head, her heart pounding. Finally, under Mingjin's gaze, she changed her words and said, "...I will arrange it right away."

After she finished speaking, she lifted the curtain of the car.

He told the coachman outside about Mingjin's instructions.

The driver took the order and started working without saying much, and soon stopped the carriage in a place with few people.

Mingjin was about to get up and get off the carriage when Chunyu said, "Girl!"

Thinking she had something else to say, Ming Jin looked at her and said in a low voice, "I do have something to do. If you are afraid of danger or punishment, just wait here."

She was determined to find Hua Sui today, no matter how much anyone tried to persuade her.

However, she also had some admiration for this maid, and she didn't want to let an innocent person go back to be punished. She thought for a moment, and then said, "Go to the nearby pastry shop and buy something for me, so that I can have something to say when I go back."

Chunyu didn't expect that the girl actually thought of a place for her to go. She was surprised and touched at the same time.

She was indeed a little scared and didn't understand what the girl was going to do, but as a slave, how could she not follow her master?

"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to remind you to wear this." Chunyu said as she handed over the veil in her hand.

Mingjin glanced at the veil in her hand, then looked at Chunyu.

Chunyu was no longer afraid when she looked at these emotionless eyes. She could feel that the girl looked cold but had a warm heart.

She and Mingjin smiled and said, "I will put it on for you."

As she spoke, she moved closer and carefully put the veil on Mingjin.

Mingjin let her do as she pleased.

After putting it on, Chunyu walked forward, lifted the curtain, got off the carriage, then stood beside the carriage, looking at Mingjin and stretched out his hand.

Mingjin looked at her again through the gauze before putting his hand on Chunyu's hand.

There are many vendors outside Chaotian Palace.

On both sides there were people hawking incense and flowers, and there were also many fortune-telling stalls. Whenever someone walked by, they would ask if they wanted their fortune told.

The Chaotian Palace before us is magnificent, with red walls and golden tiles. The curling smoke from the high walls meanders all the way to the sky, which shows how popular the incense was.

At a glance, there were people everywhere.

Chunyu protected Mingjin and walked forward, carefully avoiding collision with others and the girl.

The master and servant walked towards Chaotian Palace.

Mingjin didn't realize that there was a group of familiar people walking on this street.

Yuan Yu and Gu Mingheng had just arrived in the capital.

They had just come from You'anmen, which is close to Xicheng District and Chaotian Palace, but they didn't expect there would be so many people here.

"If I had known there were so many people here, I would have headed towards Yongding Gate." Yuan Yu complained on the side.

They were unlucky as they happened to encounter an incident at Fuchengmen.

That was originally where coal cars were transported.

A murder suddenly occurred near Fuchengmen this morning, and people from the Beijing government are still investigating there. The coal carts cannot move and can only go to the nearby You'anmen.

The coal truck was moving slowly to begin with, and when there were so many people, they were all crowded on the road.

The road was crowded for a long time.

I finally waited until the road ahead became a little smoother.

Yuan Yu's face, hidden under the veil, began to sweat.

After the Great Heat, the weather was not cool but hot instead. Yuan Yu raised his arm to wipe the sweat off his face.

From the corner of my eye, I saw the man in black next to me was still sitting steadily on the horse, not affected by the environment and weather at all.

Look around again.

Although they all wore veils and did not show their faces, many eyes were still looking towards Gu Mingheng. The young ladies and women walking along the way were all looking at this man with a wasp waist, strong arms and an upright sitting posture.

The women in Xicheng District were not as well-behaved as the ladies in Dongcheng District. There was a lot of whispering and flirting, and some even urged the people around them to come over.

Yuan Yu looked at it and secretly clicked his tongue.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Wu Ji's voice behind him: "Master, look ahead, it looks like a girl!"

Gu Mingheng almost immediately looked forward in the direction of Wu Ji's voice.

Sure enough, next to a carriage, a maid in blue was helping a woman wearing a veil hat walk towards Chaotian Palace. She lowered her head, and her face was revealed between the fluttering gauze.

Although it was just a quick glance, Gu Mingheng recognized her immediately.

Then she was seen walking along with the crowd.

Although carefully protected, it was still inevitable to be pushed around by others.

Looking at this scene, Gu Mingheng's face immediately turned very ugly. He held the reins and said, "Are all the people in the Ming family dead? Why don't you send someone to follow them?"

"And Qing Xin, where did he go?"
