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

The Mansion of the Earl of Qingyuan.

Mingjin had already met his friends and finished his lunch.

Although Zhou Zhaoru said that she would go back after lunch, how could Feng let them leave so early? Besides, she also had something to say to Zhou Zhaoru today.

"Shuangyue, take your cousin to walk around the yard. Your cousin hasn't been back for so many years, she must have forgotten everything."

Feng told Zhou Shuangyue, and then smiled at Mingjin and said, "I remember Yanyan loved coming to our house to play when she was little. Now that she's here, you can go around and have a look. You two cousins ​​are of similar age, so you should get along well with each other."

Mingjin doesn't care.

Although Zhou Zhaoru frowned and looked unhappy, there was nothing wrong with what Feng said, so she couldn't refuse directly.

They didn't really have a falling out, and she didn't plan to really stop communicating with her family, so she nodded to Mingjin and said, "Then go and take a look with your cousin."

Zhou Shuangyue was the first to laugh and said, "It just so happens that I also want to talk to my cousin!"

Zhou Shuangyue said as she came over and took Mingjin's arm, smiling and saying to Mingjin, "Cousin, let's go for a walk outside."

Ming Jin didn't have much contact with her in his previous life, but there was no grudge between them, so he just let her go.

The concubines of the Zhou family naturally followed them as guests.

A group of people, including their personal maids, about ten in total, were strolling slowly in the Zhou family's courtyard.

The sun is not very strong today, so I don’t feel hot when walking on the road.

Zhou Shuangyue tried her best to play the role of host along the way. She took Mingjin for a stroll, telling Mingjin where this was and where this was, and occasionally asking "Cousin, are you tired, thirsty, hungry, or not?" She was very dedicated.

As the young mistress of the Bo Mansion, she also had her own selfish desires, so naturally she did not want to neglect Ming Jin.

Ming Jin replied: "Cousin, there's no need to be so nervous. I'm not tired, hungry, or thirsty."

Zhou Shuangyue blushed slightly when she heard this, and she also felt that she was a little too nervous.

She murmured softly: "That's good, that's good."

Seeing her like this, Ming Jin felt that she was nothing like Feng. She had not learned any of Feng's shrewdness and ability to get along with everyone.

But what happened to Zhou Shuangyue had nothing to do with her.

Just like at this moment, Ming Jin could clearly feel that Zhou Shuangyue seemed to have something to say to her, but since she didn't open her mouth, Ming Jin naturally wouldn't take the initiative to ask.

She was just admiring the flowers.

The scenery of Qingyuanbo Mansion is still very beautiful.

Zhou Shuangyue seemed a little anxious.

She looked at Mingjin, then looked behind her. Her concubine sisters were still following behind her, chatting and admiring the flowers.

She suddenly coughed lightly and said to one of the girls who was slightly older than the one next to her, "Fourth sister, Xiaoba is young, you should take them to the pavilion to sit for a while."

The eldest concubine daughter of the Zhou family, Miss Zhou Si, is two years younger than Zhou Shuangyue and is fourteen this year. The youngest concubine daughter is only eight years old, and is the "Little Eight" that Zhou Shuangyue refers to.

Although Zhou Shuangyue was born of a legitimate wife.

But she has a good temper and has always had a good relationship with these concubine sisters.

These concubines also treated her with great respect.

When she was suddenly called at this moment, Miss Zhou Ba was still holding a flower that a servant had just picked, but her eyes were wide open, her face was slightly stunned, and she looked puzzled.

"Ah, Second Sister, I..."

Just as she was about to say "I'm not tired", Miss Zhou Si had already understood what Zhou Shuangyue meant. She quickly grabbed Miss Zhou Ba's hand and said to Zhou Shuangyue and Ming Jin with a smile, "It just so happens that I'm tired too. Second sister and cousin, please have a good look around. Let's go to the pavilion in front and rest for a while."

Miss Zhou Si said this and left with Miss Zhou Ba.

The other two illegitimate daughters also said hello to Mingjin and the others and followed them.

Ming Jin pretended not to know what Zhou Shuangyue was going to do.

When Ming Jin heard Zhou Shuangyue say that they should go a little further, he did not refuse.

Ming Jin let Zhou Shuangyue lead her forward. After walking for a while, she finally knew what Zhou Shuangyue was going to say.

"Cousin."

Zhou Shuangyue was a little nervous and her words began to stutter.

"Ok?"

Mingjin looked at her: "Cousin, what's wrong?"

Zhou Shuangyue looked at her clear and bright eyes and hesitated for a moment. After a while, she mustered up the courage to ask, "How is my cousin doing recently? Is he okay?"

She wondered why Zhou Shuangyue was so hesitant, and it turned out that she wanted to ask about Ming Jingheng.

Ming Jingheng is really popular with women. The arrogant princess likes him, and the gentle cousin also likes him...

Perhaps it was because Ming Jin stared at her for too long, so long that Zhou Shuangyue felt a little embarrassed by her staring at her.

Her face was slightly red, and she tried to explain herself by saying, "I, I just haven't seen my cousin for a long time."

As Zhou Shuangyue spoke, she quietly turned her face away, lowered her eyes, and nervously clenched her handkerchief.

Ming Jin then realized that he had been staring for too long and made the delicate young lady blush.

She pursed her lips, smiled silently, and then said to Zhou Shuangyue: "Sorry, I just got home, and we only met a few times, so I'm not very clear about this."

Zhou Shuangyue let out a soft "ah" when she heard her answer.

After reacting, she looked at Mingjin and waved her hands, saying, "No, don't apologize. I was rude." She was so nervous that she forgot that her cousin had just returned.

She blamed herself for not being able to speak.

"I'm sorry, cousin, I, I..." She said "I I" several times but didn't know what to say.

You said you missed your cousin so much and wanted to know news about him?

This is too embarrassing.

Zhou Shuangyue blushed unconsciously just thinking about it.

It was the first time that Mingjin saw a girl who blushed so easily. She couldn't help but be surprised for a moment. She even forgot when was the last time she blushed.

Did she ever blush?

Mingjin thought about it for a while and found that he really had no such memory, so he gave up.

Seeing that Zhou Shuangyue was stuttering and unable to utter a complete sentence, and was almost embarrassed to death, Ming Jin was kind enough to say "it's okay" and then changed the subject.

"Do you want to keep going?"

Zhou Shuangyue was stunned again by the question, then she reacted and said quickly: "Let's go! There is a koi pond in front, let's go feed the koi, the koi over there are so beautiful!"

Mingjin actually doesn't like Miss Jiao's hobbies.

But since it was someone else's house, Ming Jin just followed the host's wishes and went with her.

She nodded slightly.

Zhou Shuangyue smiled, took Mingjin's arm and walked forward.

Although he failed to ask what he wanted to ask, Zhou Shuangyue still tried his best to play the role of a good host.

Although it was the first time she met her cousin after so many years, Zhou Shuangyue surprisingly didn't feel strange at all.

Compared to the previous cousin, Zhou Shuangyue felt that this cousin next to her was one she liked more.

Although her cousin seemed quiet and difficult to get close to, Zhou Shuangyue felt very comfortable getting along with her.

Unlike the cousin before...

Zhou Shuangyue never dared to tell anyone.

Although the cousin looked gentle and good at talking, Zhou Shuangyue was inexplicably afraid of her.

In the early years, Zhou Shuangyue did not have this feeling, but in recent years this feeling has been very profound.

She used to like to pull her aside to ask about her cousin, but now she doesn't dare to do that.

Sometimes when she saw her, she would deliberately avoid her.

"Cousin, look, that's——"

Looking at the koi pond that was almost there, Zhou Shuangyue put her thoughts aside and stopped thinking about Ming Yao. Just as she was about to talk to Ming Jin with a smile, she heard sounds of beating and scolding coming from not far away.

"This unpresentable thing actually wants to read and write like the young master!"

"Do you really think you are a young master? You actually dared to sneak into Chang Si Zhai and eavesdrop on the teacher teaching the young masters! I think you are really bold!"

"Come on! Brothers! Catch this kid. The young master just told us to cripple his hand so that he can never write again!"

"Damn, this bastard is really strong, hold him tight, I'm going to break his hand today!"

……

The voice over there came.

The smile on Zhou Shuangyue's face suddenly froze, and her face turned pale.

She thought to herself that it must be that the elder brother was displeased with the third brother and wanted to take it out on him. She was about to go over to stop him, but she saw a red figure passing by.

Her cousin actually walked forward before her.

Zhou Shuangyue opened her eyes slightly, and her expression became somewhat surprised.

But soon, Zhou Shuangyue came to her senses.

My cousin is an honored guest. It's bad enough for her to hear such dirty things. If she sees them...

Zhou Shuangyue’s face was slightly pale.

"Cousin!" she said, and ran after Mingjin.

But no one knew what Mingjin had grown up eating. Zhou Shuangyue was clearly running, but she was still quite far away from her, making it impossible for her to catch up with her.

Zhou Shuangyue ran out of breath and could only watch her cousin brush aside a patch of lush flowers and trees and walk in.

Not long after, the servant's voice was heard again.

"You are..." A doubtful voice sounded in the forest.

Mingjin did not answer.

She lowered her eyes and looked down, and saw a thin young man being held down by two sturdy servants.

Compared with the two, the boy looked very weak.

But even so, he was still struggling hard, like a newborn wolf cub. Even if he was caught by a hunter, he would fight hard to carve out a bloody path for himself.

Before Mingjin appeared, he was struggling with red eyes.

Seeing that the two servants beside him were distracted by the appearance of someone, he did not observe who had come. He just struggled and twisted. As soon as he pulled his hand out, he wanted to run away immediately.

The servants then realized it.

They spat softly, "This bastard," and were about to catch him again, but a cold female voice came from behind them: "So this is the family tradition of the Qingyuan Earl's Mansion? It really opened my eyes."
