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

Ming Yuandu and Ming Jingheng came back together.

After the father and son met outside, they came back together.

When they arrived at the gate, Ming Yuandao, the second master of the Ming family, had just arrived and was stepping down from the carriage.

The three of them met in front of the Marquis's mansion. Ming Yuandao smiled and greeted Ming Yuandu and his son, "Big Brother."

"Heng'er."

Mingyuandao is thirty-eight years old this year, two years younger than Mingyuandu. He currently works as a fourth-rank Left Censor-in-Chief in the Censorate.

Although the two brothers were not born of the same mother, they were raised together since childhood and have a very good relationship with each other.

Even compared to Ming Yuanan, his biological brother who had the same father and mother but was very troublesome, Ming Yuandu still liked his illegitimate brother more.

My second brother is calm and steady in his work, and he is filial to his mother and does his duty.

At this time, he also nodded and greeted others, calling out, "Second brother."

Ming Jingheng naturally followed suit and called out respectfully, "Second Uncle."

Ming Yuandao smiled.

Since the three of them met, there was no reason for them not to go together.

Ming Yuandu was the most respected one and stood in front. Ming Yuandao habitually stepped back half a step to his lower left. Ming Jingheng was on the right, standing farther away from Ming Yuandao.

A group of three walked in.

Ming Yuandu asked Ming Yuan, "Has the third brother come back?"

Ming Yuandao hesitated for a moment before replying in a gentle voice, "My third brother heard yesterday that there was a painting by Wu Daozi in the neighboring city, and he wanted to buy one for mother. I guess he won't be back for another two days."

When Ming Yuandu heard this, he cursed coldly: "You just run around all day long and have nothing to do!"

He was already very upset about not being able to join the cabinet.

Especially now that the cabinet list has not been released yet, everyone still thinks that he can enter the cabinet. Some people who have a good relationship with him on weekdays secretly call him "Grand Master" and "Scholar". Some people even asked when he would go to Quanjulou for dinner.

As happy as he was to hear these things before, he felt embarrassed now, but he couldn't express his pain.

Been stuck outside for a whole day.

Now that he heard that the third brother was running away again, Ming Yuandu had no place to vent his anger.

Ming Yuandao habitually said something nice to Ming Yuanan: "The third brother is just trying to please mother, so don't be angry with him, big brother."

"Besides, Mother didn't notify us to pick her up this time. If my third brother knew that Mother would be home today, he would definitely not go out."

"You just speak for him."

Ming Yuandu glared at him unhappily, but when he saw Ming Yuandao smiling at him gently, he didn't say anything else.

My third brother has been a loser for a long time.

He is not as good as the second brother in literature, and he only knows how to complain about pain and tiredness when learning martial arts. He is good at talking, but if he says a few more words to him, he will start yelling, "I am not as good as you, so what? Who made me a weakling when I was born? It's not easy for me to survive. If you force me again, I will die!"

He was always so mad at him that he finally just ignored him and let him do what he wanted.

Anyway, just don't cause any big trouble for him.

He had long since given up hope in him.

"Master Hou!"

When Luo Zhong saw the three people coming back, he hurried over.

Luo Zhong was Ming Yuandu's manager. Seeing him so anxious, Ming Yuandu couldn't help but frown, stopped and asked, "Why do you look like that? What's wrong?"

Luo Zhong greeted the three of them first.

Before speaking, he glanced at Ming Yuandao first.

Ming Yuandao understood and said, "Brother, I'll go first."

Ming Yuandu stopped him, "There's nothing you can't hear at home." He didn't let Ming Yuandao go, and frowned and said to Luo Zhong, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Luo Zhong did not dare to hide it, and hurriedly said to Ming Yuandu: "The princess called Madam over to give her a lecture."

These words made the three of them look surprised.

After being surprised, Ming Jingheng pursed his lips worriedly, while Ming Yuandao felt a little embarrassed.

After all, it was a matter in his eldest brother's room, so he didn't ask too much. At this moment, he looked aside, pretending to be an invisible person, and said nothing.

Only Ming Yuandu frowned and asked, "Why is mother scolding her for no reason?"

Several thoughts flashed through my mind, but were finally rejected by Ming Yuandu.

As for family matters, no matter how angry his mother was, she would never scold Zhou before he came back.

The former wife of the Earl of Qingyuan, his mother-in-law who had passed away long ago, was a close friend of my mother.

The two have a good relationship.

Because of this relationship, my mother has always been very tolerant towards Zhou.

In the past, when he quarreled with Zhou, his mother would usually protect Zhou and scold him.

Because of the affairs of Yanyan and Yaoyao in recent years, although my mother is not as lenient towards Zhou as before, she will never treat her arbitrarily.

Unless Zhou has caused trouble again, and this matter is probably related to Yanyan.

"What did she do again?"

Ming Yuandu asked in a deep voice.

Luo Zhong naturally didn't dare to hide anything, so he told everything that had happened before.

"I don't know the details, but I know that the Madam and the Seventh Miss had an argument in the room, and Aunt Cheng, who was delivering something, overheard it. After that, Aunt Cheng took the Madam and the Seventh Miss to the Princess' place."

At this point, Luo Zhong pursed his lips and added softly, "The princess said that there will be no family dinner tonight, so you can go directly there when you come back."

I heard that he didn’t even want to eat the family dinner, let alone Ming Yuandu. Even Ming Yuandao turned around and frowned at Luo Zhong.

"In that case, big brother, you should go first." Ming Yuandao spoke first to Ming Yuandu.

Ming Yuandu didn't say much at this time.

He obviously realized the seriousness of the matter. He nodded to Ming Yuandao with a grim expression and left.

Ming Jingheng was naturally worried.

He said to Ming Yuandao, "Uncle, I'm going there too," and then hurriedly said goodbye to Ming Yuandao and followed Ming Yuandao across.

Watching the father and son leave.

Ming Yuandao frowned and shook his head, and could only go back to his own yard first.

As soon as he returned to the second room, he saw his wife pacing anxiously in the room with a worried look on her face.

The servant saw him coming back and hurriedly called out respectfully, "Second Master."

Ye Xi heard the noise and came out: "You're back."

The couple met when they were young, have been together for twenty years, and their relationship is still very good.

Seeing Ye Xi's gloomy face, Ming Yuandao sent the other servants out, took off his official hat and asked Ye Xi: "What did my sister-in-law say to make mother so angry?"

"You knew already?"

Ye Xi looked surprised.

After hearing Ming Yuandao's story about meeting Luo Zhong on the road, she did not hide it and took the official hat from Ming Yuandao.

As the couple walked in side by side, Ye Xi lowered her voice and whispered to Ming Yuandao, "Sister-in-law and Yanyan had a quarrel."

"The people I sent over inquired about it, and it seems that it was the sister-in-law who asked Yanyan to do something, and Yanyan was unhappy and had a quarrel with the sister-in-law, so the sister-in-law..."

She hesitated.

"Just what?" Ming Yuan frowned.

Ye Xi sighed: "Yan Yan asked the eldest sister-in-law if she had known that she would be like this, and it would be better for her to die outside."

When Ming Yuandao heard this, his face turned bad.

Ye Xi finished his words with difficulty: "My sister-in-law said yes."

"absurd!"

Ming Yuandu couldn't control his temper and said this.

He frowned, looking dissatisfied: "How can sister-in-law say such things? It hurts the child so much."

Ye Xi also felt that her sister-in-law had really gone too far in this matter.

But at this time, as a sister-in-law, she naturally couldn't add fuel to the fire. She could only say, "You know the temper of the eldest sister-in-law. She has a sharp tongue. I guess she just said it because she was too angry at the time."

"No matter how angry you are, you can't say that to your child."

Ming Yuandao still frowned: "Yanyan has only been back for a few days, and my sister-in-law is already using such words to stab her... No wonder mother was so angry that she even refused to hold a family dinner."

Ming Yuandao sighed.

Ye Xi didn't know what to say for a moment. Finally, the couple sat together and she could only sigh: "After all, the most pitiful one is Yanyan."

Here the couple discussed the matter.

There was also a lot of discussion in other courtyards, except Yao Qianyun who still ignored these things and continued to worship Buddha as usual.

The other concubines in the courtyards have also known about this.

Ming Sheng and Ming Jinghuai, brother and sister, were just like their aunt. They didn't dare to cause trouble. When they heard about this, they didn't dare to say much.

When the brother and sister spoke privately, they were a little worried about Mingjin's situation.

As for Mingyao, she almost fainted.

She knew that she was not liked by the eldest princess and seldom appeared in public. After she knew that she was back, she was very nervous and alert, fearing that the eldest princess would call someone over and ask her to come over.

I didn't expect that the person I was waiting for hadn't arrived yet, but I heard such a thing first.

At this moment, she sat on the chair with a pale face, and the only thing she said was "It's over..."

The person who was most happy about this result was Mingrong from the third room.

When Aunt Yu heard that her aunt had been taken away by people sent by her grandmother and was now kneeling beside her grandmother, she clapped her hands and laughed, not caring about the big deal.

"She deserved it for embarrassing me before!"

She still remembered the grudge of making clothes, so when she saw Zhou Zhaoru being punished, she was naturally very happy.

It doesn’t matter if I can’t go to the family dinner.

She sat in a recliner, fanning herself with a fan, and said, "I kind of like this Mingjin."

"You've only been back for a short time, and you've already messed up the house like this. First it was Mingyao, then my aunt, oh, even Mingjing had his leg broken by that little bastard."

"I'm really looking forward to the future." She said with sparkling eyes.
