In the carriage on the return journey.

Although Zhou Zhaoru didn't say anything, Mingjin could guess why when he saw her and Feng Shi acting like that.

Zhou Zhaoru has looked down on his brother and sister-in-law for a long time.

Besides, her ambitions were high above the sky. Even if she liked Zhou Shuangyue very much, there was no way she would let her marry Ming Jingheng.

Ming Jingheng is the next Marquis of Anyuan, so his wife must not only be from a good family, but also be capable.

Although Ming Jin likes Zhou Shuangyue very much, he also knows that this girl cannot bear such a responsibility.

Besides, the Qingyuan Marquis’s Mansion is not a good relative.

It will not only not be of any help at all, but it is also very likely to bring harm to Anyuan Marquis Mansion and Ming Jingheng.

How could Zhou Zhaoru agree to let Zhou Shuangyue marry into the Marquis's Mansion and marry his beloved son?

But for someone like Zhou Zhaoru, even if a fairy or a princess became her daughter-in-law, she would probably still be dissatisfied.

Take her sister-in-law in her previous life for example.

Her elder sister-in-law in her previous life was extremely noble in terms of both family background and character, and she was also very capable. But even so, Zhou Zhaoru was still dissatisfied with her in many ways.

He's always looking down on people and raising his eyebrows, and he never seems to be in a good mood.

Ming Jin didn't have much to say about this, at most it was a pity that it was a double moon next week.

Unfortunately, her deep love as a young girl was ultimately in vain.

But it’s okay if it fails.

Ming Jingheng is not a good match.

In her previous life, Gu Jiarou liked Ming Jingheng and pursued him many times, both openly and secretly. Her methods were vicious. Because she liked Ming Jingheng, she would not allow other women to get close to Ming Jingheng.

Even after she married Zhou Que, it was still the same as she was someone else's wife.

Ming Jin's sister-in-law in her previous life was the legitimate daughter of the Dali Temple Minister, but she died less than a year after marrying Ming Jingheng.

Ming Jin definitely wouldn't believe that Gu Jiarou had no hand in this.

After that, Ming Jingheng never remarried.

Perhaps he knew that he could not protect anyone, so he dared not harm other women anymore.

That was a poor woman.

Mingjin doesn't want Zhou Shuangyue to become so pitiful in the future.

Ming Jin collected her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. She looked outside the carriage. At this time, there were not many people on the street.

When passing by the teahouse.

Ming Jin didn't know what was going on, and he subconsciously looked up at a window on the second floor.

After watching it, I found myself really funny.

How could that person stay here all the time?

really.

There was no one in the window on the second floor. There was only a pot of orchid on the windowsill, its branches and leaves stretching out in the wind, swaying gently, which was very pleasant.

"Yan Yan."

Zhou Zhaoru's voice suddenly came to my ears.

Ming Jin came back to his senses.

She withdrew her gaze, looked back at Zhou Zhaoru, and hummed softly.

The carriage was now almost reaching East Street, not far from Anyuan Marquis Mansion.

Zhou Zhaoru didn't say much along the way, but when he looked at Ming Jin, he seemed to want to say something but hesitated.

Hua Sui was still sitting outside.

Jingyue was still sitting outside obediently, with her head slightly lowered, looking respectful and humble.

Zhou Zhaoru just looked at his biological daughter like this.

Mingjin let her watch.

Ming Jin noticed that there was something different in the way Zhou Zhao looked at her at this moment. She pondered in her heart for a while, wondering why Zhou Zhao looked at her like that at this moment.

No fruit.

Ming Jin simply stopped thinking about it and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhaoru did not speak immediately.

She still looked at her with complicated eyes. After a while, she finally looked at Mingjin and said, "Yanyan, you don't want your father to be scolded and unable to enter the cabinet, right?"

She said this out of the blue.

Ming Jin was unable to react for a moment.

Mingjin's expression suddenly changed until he thought of something.

Her hands, which were originally placed casually on her knees, were clenched tightly.

At this time, Zhou Zhao did not notice the changes in her daughter. She did not notice Ming Jin's suddenly cold eyes and face, nor did she notice her clenched hands.

She was still immersed in her own world, talking to Ming Jin: "Your father was harmed this time. Although I don't know who it was, someone must have gone to him and said something nonsense, which caused His Majesty to be dissatisfied with him."

"Your father has wanted to join the cabinet for a long time."

"You suddenly lost your face this time. Not to mention entering the cabinet, I don't know if you can continue to stay in the Ministry of War. Your father's superior, the Minister of War Yuan Hun, doesn't like your father. Your father..."

She rambled on for a long time but never got to the point.

When she was about to say more, Ming Jin suddenly interrupted her: "What do you want me to do?"

Being interrupted suddenly, Zhou Zhaoru was a beat slow to react.

But soon, she smiled happily. On the one hand, she felt that Yanyan was worthy of being her daughter as she knew what she was going to do so quickly. On the other hand, she reached out to hold Mingjin's hand.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, Ming Jin reached out to take the teacup in front of him.

Just off the mark.

Looking at Ming Jin who was drinking tea with her eyes lowered, Zhou Zhaoru was stunned for a moment, but she didn't think too much about it and just thought that Yanyan was just thirsty.

She took her hand back again. When she looked at Ming Jin, Zhou Zhaoru's expression remained the same. She smiled and coaxed Ming Jin, "Mom doesn't need you to do anything. I just hope that when someone asks about it in the future, just say that it was your idea to swap identities with Yao Yao."

"If this gets to His Majesty's ears in the future, His Majesty will just think that he misunderstood your father. Even if he can't enter the cabinet this year, there will always be opportunities in the future."

When Zhou Zhaoru was speaking, he did not notice that Jingyue beside him looked up in surprise at this moment.

But it was only for a moment, and she lowered her head as if she was afraid of being seen by Zhou Zhaoru.

Only the heart was still beating wildly.

She had such a big reaction, let alone Hua Sui.

If Ming Jin had not told her in advance to be careful with her temper and not to say or do anything rash when she was outside, Hua Sui would have lifted the curtain and come in right now.

She sat outside with her teeth clenched.

In order to suppress his emotions, his two clasped hands were almost stained with blood.

Zhou Zhaoru didn't notice it.

After much thought, she decided that she couldn't let Ming Yuandu, the duck that she had already got, fly away like that.

All her honor and status came from her husband. Even if she quarreled with Ming Yuandu, she couldn't help but make plans for him.

She is still waiting to become the wife of a cabinet minister.

Today, even someone like Feng dared to discuss Heng'er with her.

If the news that Ming Yuandu could not enter the cabinet spread in the city, who knows how many people who are not presentable would run to her.

She couldn't stand Heng'er seeing a family like that!

Moreover, Zhou Zhaoru was also afraid that since His Majesty was not happy with this matter and did not allow the Marquis to join the cabinet, he might also be unhappy with Heng Ge'er...

Heng Ge'er has just gained a firm foothold in the Yulin Guard.

Zhou Zhaoru doesn't want him to be implicated by this matter!

So Zhou Zhaoru thought about it for a long time and finally came up with this idea. If Yanyan came forward and said it was her idea, then others would have nothing to say.

Neither the Marquis, Heng Ge'er, nor she would be implicated in this matter.

Zhou Zhaoru felt that he had lost his mind that day, only focusing on one thing and forgetting the other, leading to the current situation.

I also feel sorry for Yanyan.

After all, the most innocent person in this matter is her own daughter.

She was also a little nervous.

She was afraid that Yanyan would disagree and would be angry with her.

But there was a voice in her heart telling her: Yanyan is also a member of the family. If the Marquis and Heng'er are well, she will be well too.

For a family like theirs, everyone prospers together and suffers together.

And it was Yanyan who nodded and agreed that day...

Originally, she and the Marquis had decided to give up.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhaoru felt less ashamed. She asked Ming Jin, "Yan Yan, what do you think?"

"Mom knows about this. You've been wronged, but you don't want your dad to be unable to get promoted because of this, do you?"

"If your father gets better, you will get better too."

"When you choose a son-in-law in the future, we can choose someone of higher rank. When you go out on weekdays, outsiders will only respect you more when they see you."

"And our Lord is the one who values ​​filial piety the most. If he knew you were so well behaved, he would probably reward you."

She spoke one sentence after another.

Seeing that Mingjin didn't say anything, he became a little anxious.

Just when she was about to ask her what she thought, Ming Jin suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at her and said with a smile: "Okay."

The moment she agreed, not to mention Zhou Zhaoru, even Jingyue looked up in surprise. Hua Sui outside even moved his butt, as if he wanted to say something but gritted his teeth to hold back.

"You, agreed?"

Zhou Zhaoru looked at Ming Jin in a daze, as if he didn't expect that she would agree so immediately.

It was obviously the result she wanted to see, but Zhou Zhaoru was a little shocked and dazed. It took her a while before she finally came to her senses and smiled happily.

"Mother knows that my Yanyan is the most well-behaved!"

As she spoke, she wanted to reach out to hold Mingjin's hand again, but before her hand touched Mingjin's fingertips, she heard Mingjin say again: "Of course I don't mind, but do you think this is really feasible?"

The smile on Zhou Zhaoru's face froze, and her outstretched hand also stopped in mid-air. She stared at Ming Jin blankly, and asked in confusion, "Why is it not feasible?"

She thinks this is a good idea.

Ming Jin looked at her and smiled: "Do you think that if things develop to this point, outsiders will really believe that this was my idea?"

"Or do they think that you used coercion or inducement to force me to do this?"

Zhou Zhaoru's face suddenly turned pale.

She didn't like what he said, and she felt it was very harsh. She couldn't help but say unhappily, "What do you mean by coercion and inducement?"

Ming Jin sighed softly: "Of course I don't think so, but how can I know what outsiders will think? I can't guarantee that there will be even more unpleasant words in the future."

"Don't even mention your father's official position. I wonder if you will be implicated as well."

"Of course. If you really want me to do this, I will do it without hesitation. When do you want me to tell you my birthday? With so many people here, it will surely reach everyone's ears in no time." Ming Jin said with a smile, but there was no smile in her eyes.

Although I already knew what kind of person Zhou Zhaoru was.

But when Ming Jin really heard her say this method, he was still disgusted.

This is Zhou Zhaoru, the so-called good mother.

It's so disgusting.

"...Forget it. I still need to think about this carefully. It would be bad if I end up making things worse." Zhou Zhaoru obviously also realized the inappropriateness of this matter, and after thinking about it, he decided to give up for the time being.

If this matter is not handled properly, I'm afraid it will be just like what Yanyan said, and even more unpleasant things will happen.
