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

As soon as she heard this, Mingyao's wildly beating heart suddenly stopped.

…She knew what her mother was going to say.

Zhou Zhaoru didn't notice Mingyao's strangeness, and continued to speak: "Your father and I think so. Although the Fourth Prince was engaged to Yanyan at the beginning, your relationship has been very good over the years."

"But now Yanyan is back after all, and your grandmother will be back soon..."

Fearing that his adopted daughter would be unhappy, Zhou Zhaoru hurriedly added, "Of course, your father and I will not get involved. This is your own business. Your father and I think this way. It all depends on the Fourth Prince. If the Fourth Prince likes you and wants to marry you, your father and I will of course be happy."

"But if the Fourth Prince himself..."

Zhou Zhaoru said to Mingyao.

If Yanyan was useless, she and her husband would naturally not think so. Sending a daughter with so many shortcomings to the Fourth Prince's mansion, do they think she will live too long or something?

But what Yanyan has shown in the past two days is really beyond reproach.

Apart from the fact that the place where it used to be located was a stain, now that Xiuli Building has collapsed, no one knows about it anymore.

Her and her husband's minds gradually became more active.

After all, Yanyan is their daughter.

Mingyao didn't listen to the rest of the words. She couldn't hear anything else.

She knew what her mother was going to say.

If Gu Changxuan wanted to marry Mingjin himself, then she should abdicate and give the position of the Fourth Prince's Consort to Mingjin.

Mingyao was shouting and roaring in her heart.

She hated it so much that she wanted to tremble all over and scream, but she couldn't and she didn't dare.

She didn't even dare let her mother notice that something was wrong with her.

"……it is good."

She lowered her head slightly and responded in a hoarse voice.

I responded as obediently as possible: "This was originally Sister Yanyan's marriage. If the Fourth Prince really likes Sister Yanyan, I will naturally not compete with Sister Yanyan for her. Mother can rest assured."

"Oh, mother knew that my Yaoyao is the most obedient and sensible!" Zhou Zhaoru said, and hugged Mingyao in his arms even tighter.

The joy on his face could not be hidden at all.

She was worried just now, afraid that Yaoyao would be unhappy, but now it seems that her two daughters are really sensible and obedient.

One was born to her, and the other was raised by her, both are her good daughters.

Zhou Zhaoru was very happy and satisfied.

She smiled and promised Mingyao: "Don't worry, even if the Fourth Prince chooses Yanyan, you are still my good daughter."

"Mom, I will definitely choose a good husband for you, and he will definitely not be worse than the Fourth Prince."

Mingyao was in Zhou Zhaoru's arms and wanted to sneer when she heard it.

Better than the Fourth Prince?

Could he be higher than the prince?

Not to mention that it is impossible to marry a prince, even if I could really marry a prince, what would that do?

Marrying Gu Changxuan would mean marrying the Fourth Prince's consort in a formal ceremony and recorded in the Imperial Book of Rites.

But what about marrying someone else?

The Crown Prince and the Third Prince already have wives, and the Fifth Prince is still young and has not yet settled down. No matter how you look at it, he is inferior to Gu Changxuan.

She clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, even though her bones ached, but she did not dare to let go.

After a while.

When Zhou Zhaoru finally finished speaking, Mingyao said goodbye.

Zhou Zhaoru had said everything he needed to say, so he naturally wouldn't stop her. He just watched her leave with a smile on his face.

She didn't notice Ming Yao's steady pace, which became faster and faster after leaving Zhou Zhaoru's yard.

Even Qianshuang couldn't keep up for a while.

Ming Yao kept a straight face all the way and didn't lose her temper immediately outside, but when she returned to Jiangyunxuan, she couldn't hold it in any longer.

She ran to the inner room, buried herself on the bed and cried uncontrollably.

Qianshuang trotted in.

She was still panting, and just as she was about to ask the girl what was wrong, she saw the girl lying there crying.

Qian Shuang didn't know about the conversation between the mother and daughter just now. Seeing the girl's appearance at this moment, Qian Shuang couldn't help but be shocked.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Qian Shuang hurried over and asked worriedly.

Mingyao didn't say anything at first, and Qianshuang was extremely anxious.

Just when Qianshuang tried to ask again what was going on, Mingyao finally spoke with a hoarse voice and tears in her eyes.

"Mother just mentioned the Fourth Prince's marriage to me."

Hearing the girl's words, Qian Shuang was stunned for a moment and didn't react: "Why did Madam bring it up now?"

She originally thought that the lady was discussing the wedding date with the girl, but when she saw the girl's appearance, it didn't seem like that.

Is it...

A thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Madam won't..." She hadn't finished her words yet, but her face had turned pale.

Ming Yao stopped crying and finished her words in a calm voice: "Mother asked the Fourth Prince to choose for himself. If the Fourth Prince chooses Ming Jin, they will ask me to give up the position of the Fourth Prince's Consort."

"what!"

Even someone as calm and composed as Qianshuang couldn't hold back anymore.

She couldn't help herself and raised her voice.

When she realized what was happening, her expression changed immediately and she quickly covered her mouth to suppress the sound.

But she couldn't control the expression on her face.

Qian Shuang was so anxious that she was walking around the room. She glanced at the bed and saw the girl crying again. She managed to calm down and walked over to Ming Yao and said, "Madam also said that the Fourth Prince should choose for himself. Maybe..."

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

Ming Jin interrupted her with a self-deprecating tone: "What kind of good man do you think Gu Changxuan is? Don't you know why he married me, or am I not clear about it?"

She had never spoken in such a tone before, and Qian Shuang was stunned for a moment.

After reacting, she hurriedly called out softly: "Girl..."

Mingyao also knew that she was afraid that there were ears on the other side of the wall.

But what happened in the past two days was really a huge blow to her, otherwise she wouldn't be so tense.

Her face still looked unhappy, but she didn't say anything else.

"Otherwise, I will report this to the Eighth Young Master." Qian Shuang asked.

Ming Yao was impatient and said coldly: "Do you want to be kicked out too?"

Her mother had warned her just before.

If this matter involves Xiao Rang, I'm afraid her mother will really not tolerate her.

By then, let alone marrying the Fourth Prince, she might not even be able to stay in the Marquis' Mansion.

Seeing Qian Shuang’s pale face due to her scolding, Ming Yao felt very annoyed, but she still sat up, pinched her eyebrows and apologized to Qian Shuang.

Qian Shuang naturally wouldn't say anything, she also knew that she was just trying every possible means to cure her illness.

"So what should we do now?" she asked Ming Yao, "Should we expose her past? The royal family can't want a woman like that, right?"

"No," Ming Yao refused without a second thought, "If this gets out, I won't be in any good shape."

"This won't work, and that won't work either. We can't just watch her marry the Fourth Prince." Qian Shuang also began to worry.

Mingyao was silent for a moment and did not speak immediately.

After a while, she asked, "What did the Fourth Prince's Mansion say?"

Qian Shuang hurriedly said, "Tong Ke said that he would pass the letter to the Fourth Prince, and also said that the Fourth Prince would be back in half a month at most after writing to him."

"Half a month..."

Mingyao murmured: "Then we can catch up with August 23rd."

"This matter must be settled before August 23rd." Ming Yao murmured.

She didn't believe Gu Changxuan's feelings for her.

For people in that position, love affairs are the biggest joke.

She knew very well that Gu Changxuan was willing to marry her not because of her, but because of the Anyuan Marquis Mansion behind her.

But now, someone more suitable than her has appeared.

What will Gu Changxuan choose?

Obvious.

Mingyao instructed Qianshuang, "Go to Baiyun Temple tomorrow and meet Master Yunshang. Ask him to find a way to see Gu Changxuan before he returns to Beijing to report."

"For so many years, I have used money to support him and gave him fame. He should repay me."

She cannot live without love and status at the same time.

The fourth prince's wife——

It can only be hers!

Mingyao's kind face turned sinister at this moment.
