No matter how well Ming Yuandu concealed the quarrel between Zhou Zhaoru, some news still leaked out.

When Mingjin found out about this, he had just finished showering and was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard to enjoy the cool air and watch the stars.

She was dressed in casual clothes and her hair was loose behind her.

Hua Sui was fanning her to drive away mosquitoes, while she lay on the rattan chair, swaying back and forth, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

Chunyu came in from outside and couldn't help laughing when she saw Mingjin looking so leisurely.

Just now, when she learned that the Marquis had gone to the Madam in a rage, she and Hua Sui were shocked, fearing that the girl would be implicated.

However, when Chunyu thought about what he had just found out, he couldn't help but look worried.

"Sister Chunyu, what are you doing outside?"

Hua Sui saw her first.

During this period of time, Huasui and Chunyu have been eating and living together, so naturally their relationship is much better than before.

Ming Jin heard the voice and looked outside.

Chunyu then picked up her smile and walked in. She put the fruits she had just brought from the kitchen on a small table beside her, and moved a small stool over. She and Huasui sat face to face on both sides of Mingjin.

While peeling lychees for someone, she lowered her voice and said to Ming Jin, "I heard that the Marquis and the Madam had a quarrel, but I don't know what it was about."

It's obvious.

Mingjin knew very well why.

"No matter what the reason is, it has nothing to do with us." Ming Jin said as he took the lychee and took a bite.

The last batch of lychees this year are crystal clear, fresh and juicy, with tender flesh, and very sweet when you take a bite.

Mingjin enjoyed the meal very much.

Seeing that she liked it, Chunyu continued to peel the fruit for her and didn't mention anything about the outside world.

But when I think about what will happen tomorrow, I can't help but feel worried.

"Will the Madam take you out of the house tomorrow?" She had heard before that the Madam would take the girl to the Qingyuan Earl's House tomorrow.

I don’t know if it will change now.

"Whether you go or not, let's get ready first." Ming Jin knew in his heart that with Zhou Zhaoru's personality, the more busy he was, the more likely he would stay at home and not go out.

She has a strong personality and there is no way she would back down at a time like this.

really--

Just after noon the next day, Cui's mother came to invite her.

The clothes and jewelry were prepared in advance, and Chunyu and Huasui quickly packed Mingjin.

Leaving home today.

Mingjin didn't bring Chunyu with him and asked her to look after her at home.

She only took Hua Sui out with her.

On the way, Cui's mother lowered her voice and reminded Ming Jin: "Last night, the Madam had a quarrel with the Marquis and she is not in a good mood. Miss, please accompany the Madam today."

Mingjin would naturally give Mother Cui this face.

She smiled and agreed. As long as Zhou Zhaoru didn't provoke her, she would naturally not make her angry for no reason.

The group went to Zhou Zhaoru's place.

What surprised Mingjin was that Mingyao was not there today.

She usually comes early in the morning.

Mother Cui obviously noticed the surprise in her eyes and said to Mingjin, "Sixth Miss came early in the morning, but Madam asked her to go back for dinner."

When Ming Jin heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise.

For no reason, is Zhou Zhaoru angry with Ming Yao?

As for the reason——

Think about the reason why the couple quarreled last night.

She didn't know why Ming Yuandu failed to enter the cabinet.

In his previous life, Ming Yuandu never talked to her with a smile about the possibility of joining the cabinet like he did before.

Looking at Zhou Zhaoru like this, could she have any relationship with Ming Yao?

Ming Jin thought back to his past life and it seemed that there was indeed a period of time when Ming Yao felt somewhat restricted at home, and he felt more resentful every time he saw her.

Is it because of this incident?

Ming Jin was thinking in a scattered manner, wondering if Ming Yao would hold this matter against her again this time?

Never mind her.

She twitched her lower lip in a sneer, not really caring.

After entering, Ming Jin greeted Zhou Zhaoru in a normal tone.

Zhou Zhaoru saw her and forced a smile.

Although she was dressed up today, she couldn't hide the fatigue on her face. It seemed that she had a very difficult night.

Ming Jin acted as if he didn't see anything. He sat down and started eating breakfast.

Zhou Zhaoru couldn't help feeling uncomfortable seeing her like this.

My daughter was well-dressed and looked great while eating, but I never asked her how she was.

But it is impossible for her to speak up on her own initiative.

It was a rare occasion that the mother and daughter had a quiet meal together.

Wait until breakfast is finished.

The carriage was also ready.

Zhou Zhaoru took Mingjin on the carriage. Jingyue stayed in the carriage to serve them, while Huasui sat outside with the coachman.

The group set off for the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion.

Zhou Zhaoru didn't say a word on the way, and Ming Jin was even less likely to speak. She even closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

But when Zhou Zhaoru saw her like this, he felt even more uncomfortable.

She couldn't help thinking: If Yaoyao was here, she wouldn't have to say anything, she would definitely come over to care about her, ask her what's going on, and then comfort her and tell her not to be angry.

But when she thought about the fact that she was in this situation today because of Yaoyao, Zhou Zhaoru felt even more hurt.

What is going on with these two daughters?

Before, they were all well-behaved and obedient, but now, they all make her uncomfortable and angry.

She felt uncomfortable neither sitting nor leaning. She was uncomfortable in every way.

Especially when he saw the girl opposite him closing her eyes and looking relaxed, Zhou Zhaoru felt even more uncomfortable.

A snap——

Zhou Zhaoru suddenly put down the teacup in his hand.

This didn't affect Mingjin, but it did make Jingyue, who was already worried, tremble slightly in her heart.

My hands shook inadvertently.

The cup of tea in her hand, which was originally intended for Mingjin, spilled a little bit onto the coffee table.

"How do you do your job! You can't even serve tea properly!" It was as if he had finally found an outlet for venting. Zhou Zhaoru finally had an object and a way to vent.

She frowned and angrily scolded her personal maid.

Jingyue naturally knelt down immediately and begged for mercy with a pale face.

With the commotion getting so serious, it would not be appropriate for Mingjin to keep his eyes closed.

She slowly opened her eyes, pretending not to know why Zhou Zhaoru was so angry. She only glanced at Jingyue who was kneeling beside her, and said to Zhou Zhaoru, "Mother, why must you be angry with a servant girl?"

It's okay if she doesn't speak.

Whenever Zhou Zhaoru spoke, he couldn't help but sound sarcastic.

She has always been the type who wants to make others uncomfortable even if she herself is not feeling well. At this moment, she turned her spearhead towards Ming Jin and said coldly, "Now you are meddling in my affairs."

Ming Jin had been treated like this by Zhou Zhaoru many times in his previous life.

When she saw her today, she actually felt a little nostalgic. She was a little tired of seeing her pretending to be with Zhou Zhaoru every day and showing off her deep motherly love with her.

It's good to have a fuss.

After making a scene, I won’t have to pretend to have a deep mother-daughter relationship with her anymore.

She looked at Zhou Zhaoru and said with a smile: "Of course I dare not interfere in my mother's affairs, but I think it is unnecessary. Of course, this is your maid. If you really want to punish her, I can't say anything."

Zhou Zhaoru looked at his dignified and well-behaved daughter in front of him. Seeing that she was not as nervous as the others, he couldn't help but get even angrier.

But there was nothing wrong with her performance.

Zhou Zhaoru held his breath and his face turned even more gloomy.

As much as she usually liked her daughter's propriety, she now hated it.

She held the teacup and drank water, keeping a sullen face and not speaking.

Zhou Zhaoru thought that if he did this, Ming Jin would definitely ask him something, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Zhou Zhaoru was not the type to hold back, and he became even more irritated.

She dropped the teacup in her hand without much force, causing the tea to splash out, but she had no time to pay attention.

She looked at Ming Jin solemnly and said, "Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"Ok?"

Ming Jin blinked and asked in confusion: "What should I ask you?"

Zhou Zhaoru's expression became even uglier.

She hadn't slept all night. She thought about how Ming Yuandu had quarreled with her and then ran to Aunt Chen's side. It was like stepping on her face! This daughter was the same. She looked so smart on weekdays, but today, she didn't know what happened. She was so stupid that she couldn't even see her abnormality.

"I had a fight with your father, didn't you know?" she said to Mingjin.

Ming Jin heard this and slightly widened his eyes, looking surprised: "What? Did you have a fight with your father? How could this happen?"

The look on her face made Zhou Zhaoru really think that she knew nothing.

If that was the case, her behavior just now was understandable, and Zhou Zhaoru's anger subsided a little.

When he spoke to Mingjin again, he didn't speak the same way as before.

"Your father failed to enter the cabinet this time." She explained the reason.

Sure enough, it was because of this reason. Ming Jin continued to pretend to be ignorant: "How could this happen? Didn't father say that this matter is 90% certain?"

"He thinks he is very powerful, so he can say anything." Zhou Zhaoru said sarcastically.

She was angry with Ming Yuandu, so she deliberately belittled him in front of Ming Jin.

But as soon as she said this, she felt that it was inappropriate, but she didn't want to say anything good about Yuan Du, so she just kept silent and let the matter go.

Suddenly, a sentence came to my ear——

"But why did my father quarrel with you? What does it have to do with you that he cannot enter the cabinet?"

Zhou Zhaoru's face froze all of a sudden.
