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

The carriage of the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion set out from Yingzhou and headed all the way to the capital.

Yingzhou is located in Southern Zhili, while the capital is located in Northern Zhili. The journey from one south to the other, and they were riding in a horse carriage, naturally took a lot of time.

On the way, a mother named Zhou first became familiar with Mingjin.

Among all the mothers, she is the oldest and has the highest seniority. She is in charge of disciplining in the Marquis' Mansion. Because she used to be a female official in the palace, she is mainly responsible for teaching etiquette and rules to the girls in the Marquis' Mansion on weekdays. She is considered an elder in the Marquis' Mansion.

This time, Marquis Anyuan and his wife specially called her over so that she could teach Mingjin the rules on the way and inform her about the current situation in Marquis Anyuan's mansion.

We were on the road for more than half a month.

Mother Zhou has taught all the rules that she should and could teach.

Actually, there is nothing much to teach.

This Miss Jin is very smart and has the ability to draw inferences from one instance. Whether she is walking, sitting, sleeping or eating, she performs perfectly.

Not to mention the girls in the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid even the ladies and concubines who have just entered the palace are not as good as this Miss Jin.

What she had to teach naturally became much simpler.

The carriage has now reached Northern Zhili, which has two states, eight prefectures and more than one hundred counties. They are now in Shunde Prefecture. After another three or four days, they will reach the capital.

Because I rushed all the way.

That day, they stayed in an inn in Shunde Prefecture.

During this trip, the Anyuan Marquis Mansion did not display any symbols of its status.

But there were only a dozen of them in their group, and their guards were all tall and strong, with strong arms and waists. Everyone knew that they were of great importance.

As soon as they arrived at the store, Mother Zhou ordered the guards to book the entire store to prevent anyone from disturbing the girl's rest or knowing some secrets that they shouldn't know.

The upper room was naturally reserved for Mingjin and mothers like Zhou's mother, while the guards, coachmen and others were downstairs. However, there were still two guards with knives patrolling the corridor at all times to prevent some short-sighted thieves from coming and ruining the girls' peace.

But that’s strange to say.

Their journey was surprisingly peaceful.

On the way there, I encountered some bandits and robbers, but when I came back, everything was peaceful and I didn't even encounter a thief.

This was naturally what the guards of the Marquis' Mansion were secretly complaining about.

As for Mingjin, how could she know this? Whether in her previous life or this life, her journey back home was peaceful.

She was now lying on the Xiangfei couch in the upper room, holding a book, resting and reading it.

When Mother Zhou came over with the snacks made in the kitchen, she saw the girl whom she thought had perfect manners, lying in a loose and casual posture, with no manners at all.

"--girl."

Mother Zhou looked at Mingjin with helplessness on her face.

When Ming Jin heard her tone, he knew that she was reminding him to sit and sleep properly.

But Mingjin has finally lived another life, so why would he be willing to abide by those stupid rules?

In her previous life, she knew the rules and etiquette.

From a country maid who had worked outside for ten years, she eventually became a model of a noble lady, praised by even the Queen Mother for her proper manners.

But what's the use?

People who don’t like her still don’t like her; people who hate her still hate her.

No matter how well she behaves, in the eyes of others, she is always a person with a tainted past.

Her ability to go back to the past is a gift from God, so that she can calm down the anger and injustice of her past life instead of guarding these things that bind people.

It’s fine as long as the rules are useful enough.

If you have to be restrained when there is no one around on weekdays, life would be too tiring.

She just wants to take it easy in her life.

"Mom, come and sit down."

Mingjin's attitude towards Mrs. Zhou is very good.

This Mother Zhou was younger than my grandmother, probably in her early forties, and was chosen by my grandmother from the palace.

When Mingjin was a child, she often followed her grandmother into the palace, and she met Mother Zhou at that time.

At that time, my grandmother asked her with a smile: "Yanyan likes Miss Zhou so much, why don't I ask for her to be your teaching lady in the future?"

Yanyan is her nickname.

Mingyao was only a few years old at that time, and was at the age of playing, so she didn't want any female official to teach her. However, she liked the female official Zhou, and although she didn't like to learn the rules, she still nodded hesitantly and agreed.

She has loved to act cute since she was young.

When he agreed, he held Lady Zhou's hand, opened his small purse filled with candies, took out a candy from it, put it in Lady Zhou's hand, and then looked at her with a flattering face and said, "Lady Zhou, you ate my candy, so you can't be too mean to me in the future."

The childish talk made Princess Fuhua and Lady Zhou laugh and cry.

At that time, the female official Zhou looked at Ming Jin and promised with a smile: "Okay, as long as the Sixth Miss behaves well, I will not be mean to you."

Mother Zhou looked at the smiling girl with curved eyes and obviously remembered these things. She was well-known for her majesty in the Marquis' Mansion. Not only were the maids afraid of her, but even the girls in the mansion felt nervous when they saw her.

Unexpectedly, this girl whom she hadn't seen for ten years still treated her with the same attitude as when they were children.

This made Zhou's mother's hard heart soften. She couldn't bear to criticize her, but she had to keep her status and said a word of advice with a stern face: "Don't do this when there are outsiders around."

Ming Jin naturally agreed with a smile.

Mother Zhou came over with food.

As he got closer, Ming Jin smelled a rich fragrance.

"It smells good." Her eyes lit up.

Wherever she went along the way, she would eat the local delicacies, as if she wanted to make up for what she had missed in her previous life.

Mother Zhou has been with her for a long time and knows her habit.

So while Mingjin was taking a rest, he asked the chef downstairs to prepare some local delicacies and send them up.

Looking at the bright girl on the couch, she put down the book in her hand, smiled and sat up.

While putting down the things in her hands, Mother Zhou went to get a pillow for the other person to lean against her waist so that she could sit more comfortably.

He introduced: "This white thing is called double skin milk, and this one is called Lunjiao cake. I heard they are both delicacies from Shunde."

"It's almost time for dinner, please eat first to satisfy your craving. I'll have someone prepare a table of Shunde specialties for you tonight."

Ming Jin would not refuse. She smiled and said to Mother Zhou, "Mom is so nice to me."

After Ming Jin finished speaking, he picked up the bowl of double skin milk sprinkled with red beans and began to eat slowly.

Mother Zhou was right beside her, looking at her lovingly and gently admonishing her, "Eat slowly."

Mingjin smiled and agreed.

The house is filled with afternoon sunshine. Outside is the bustling street. Peddlers are walking back and forth, carrying baskets and shouting their wares. Inside the house, a beautiful girl is illuminated by the golden sunlight outside the window, as if her whole body is glowing.

Such a beautiful scene is hard to disturb.

Mother Zhou's eyes became more and more loving and kind as she looked at her. However, when she thought of the other task she was shouldering, the expression on her face suddenly became solemn again. Even her eyes, which were originally full of love, began to become conflicted and pitying.

She didn't say anything though.

But when Mingjin saw her like this out of the corner of his eye, how could he not know what she was thinking?

Calculating the time, it’s almost time.

In fact, it was even earlier in the previous life.

At that time, her relationship with Zhou's mother was not as close as it is now. She felt that Zhou's mother was strict and did not dare to talk to others. Instead, she had a better relationship with another mother who was more pleasing to others.

It was from that mother's mouth that she found out the clues.

Afterwards, Mother Zhou took the mother away from her and told her about the situation in the mansion, which naturally included the sudden appearance of Mingyao.

After hearing the news, she fainted and became depressed after waking up.

Originally, she had no close friends along the way. The flattering mother was actually sent by Mingyao to deliberately inquire about her situation and provoke her. The only one who really cared about her was Mother Zhou, but because of her strict and serious personality, she couldn't say anything nice, so she kept her distance...

Mingjin didn't know how hard it was at that time, but she still had to comfort herself, saying that her parents were just doing that because they missed her too much.

Maybe that was true at the beginning.

But later, with day after day companionship and sincere devotion, the ten years had long outweighed the distant and unfamiliar six years, so in the end, she became the person who destroyed their beautiful family.

Thinking about what the Ming family said to her later.

"Why on earth did you come back?"

"Are you here just to collect your debt from us?"

"Mingjin, it would be better if you didn't come back..."

At that time, she felt a sharp pain in her heart when she heard every word, but now when she thinks of it again, Mingjin no longer feels anything.

She just thought it was funny.

It turns out that blood ties can also be replaced by companionship.

It turns out that in this world, not all parents will always love only their own children from beginning to end.

For that little bit of guilt and that little bit of longing, one can ignore his child who has been missing for ten years and treat a substitute as a treasure.

Is this what they call family affection?

It's ridiculous.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't expect this kind of family affection anyway.

The cakes and double-skin milk had been finished, and Mingjin finally had the leisure to listen to these unnecessary nonsense.

She put down the white porcelain bowl in her hand, turned to Mother Zhou who was looking at her worriedly, and asked kindly, "What do you want to say to me, mother?"
