Chapter 9: Rumors

Ming Zhen saw that the gentle Ming Rou had become such an indifferent and ruthless appearance, her heart couldn't help but throb, she suppressed the tears that were about to come up, and hugged Ming Rou and whispered with relief: "Take care of your injuries, don't think about these things first." ”

Mingrou grabbed Mingzhen's hand, Jian Yu blinked gently, as if there were crystal tears flickering, her eyes flashed with determination, "Sister, you help me!" Sister, help me! ”

Her eyes were full of pleading, full of hope, so that Ming Zhen could no longer bear to refuse, and the tears couldn't bear to slide down after all. Ming Zhen secretly wiped away her tears and gave Ming Rou a satisfactory answer: "You take care of your body first, and don't think about the rest first." Anyway, my sister will help you! But right now, it's your body that matters most. ”

Hearing this, Mingrou let go of her clenched hands, she closed her eyes, hiding all her anger and hatred, and when she opened her eyes again, she was no longer the cold look.

Her whole body had already relaxed, and her soft face was full of scars, which made people feel distressed. With tears in her eyes, she cried and said, "Big sister, I begged my second sister not to beat me, but she was ruthless over and over again. I'm so scared, I'm really scared. I didn't do anything, why did she hit me? ”

"All these years, I have been letting her and letting her bully me. I don't have an aunt, and my father doesn't spoil me, so I can only bow down. ”

"She's my sister, my own sister, why, why ......"

Mingrou cried loudly, and her words were intermittent, but her sadness and despair were sad.

Mingzhen hugged her, didn't say a word, and let her enjoy herself.

After crying for a long time, Mingrou's body softened and gradually fell asleep.

Dr. Li came and checked her pulse, and the situation was much better than yesterday, and he prescribed a prescription and instructed the girls to decoct the medicine.

Ming Zhen said: "Doctor Li, please take care of the third sister more in the next few days, I will keep Qiulan here, if there is anything, you can tell her at any time." ”

Seeing that the eldest girl was so polite, Dr. Li didn't even dare to say it.

Qiu Lan took the gold ingots and handed them to Dr. Li, "This is the mind of the eldest girl in my family, Dr. Li must accept it." ”

Dr. Li didn't dare to accept it, but the eldest girl insisted on giving it, but Dr. Li still accepted it, thinking in his heart that he would be more dedicated to the third girl.

Ming Zhen was tired all night, Qiu Lan persuaded her to go back to the house to rest, "Big girl, go back and rest first, I am watching here, you can rest assured." ”

Ming Zhen bowed slightly, and after staying up all night, her head and eyes were a little sore, but she still arranged things first: "Find a few mothers-in-law in the house with broken mouths, and spread what happened last night, not only in the house, but also outside." ”

"The old lady will not listen to her heart, so I will tell her to listen to what the people of the city have to say. At that time, she can't believe it! ”

Ming Zhen's eyes glowed with cold light as he said this.

She didn't want to do this like this, but she remembered that in her previous life, her father died tragically, but the old lady hid her father's death for the title of the Duke of State.

Ming Zhen knew in her heart that in the old lady's heart, except for wealth and glory, everything else was nothing.

Qiu Lan found her mother-in-law and secretly spread the news throughout the Guogong Mansion. Then, when the kitchen manager went out to buy groceries, he told the aunts in the store about it.

Within a day, the whole of Jingzhou was discussing, and the second girl from the Zhenguo Mansion beat the third girl out of the palace to death. In the noble house of the Guogong Mansion, the other girls are gentle and obedient, why are the second girls so fierce?

As he spoke, somehow, someone mentioned that the second master was used to beating people. When he was young, he was very vicious, and after getting married, he seemed to have done something to the second wife.

Although these things are being spread in the house and outside, they have not reached the ears of Mrs. Ming.

Until the prince of Zhenguo and the prince returned to Beijing, received the reward of the saint, thanked him and wanted to return to the house, and an official who had been friends in the past said in front of the prince: "There are some bad rumors in Beijing in the past two days, you have just been promoted to the captain, I am afraid that there will be people with a heart to pick up this matter." ”

When Minghe heard this, his brows tightened, and he told Zhen Guogong about it.

Zhenguo Gong was furious, hurriedly returned home, and when he asked Mrs. Ming, she didn't know at all.

"You don't know? It's spread all over Beijing, and even me, who has just returned to Beijing, knows about it, but you don't even know about it? ”

Mrs. Ming was still immersed in the great joy of her eldest son's promotion to Tai Lieutenant, and she didn't want to be scolded by Zhen Guogong, and she suddenly blushed. But she also knew that Zhen Guogong was angry, and she couldn't make him angry anymore.

"In the past two days, the maid in the courtyard of the three girls said that the three girls were not in good health, and I thought it was nothing important. Zhen'er also came to tell me that I would save the three girls from a few days of morning and dusk. Their sisters have always been good friends, and Zhen'er didn't mention it, so I thought it was nothing serious. ”

Mrs. Ming explained, and coaxed Zhen Guogong, "Since you are back, ask the third girl with me." ”

Zhenguo Gong always pays attention to court affairs, and does not often take care of the trivial matters of the back house. But Minghe had just gotten the captain, and he couldn't let the backyard affect Minghe. Besides, this is a matter of the second room, and it has nothing to do with the big house. If it was like this, he was really reluctant.

Zhen Guogong and Mrs. Ming went to Mingrou's courtyard together, and Mingrou was still lying on the bed resting at that time.

It is the grandfather and grandmother who received Mingzhen.

"Why did my grandfather and grandmother come? Something that has been reported to us is that you have come in person, and it really scares us. ”

Zhenguo Gong used to be very strict, but he has always loved Mingzhen, the eldest granddaughter. She is the first girl in the house, and she has been a brilliant person since she was a child, and she is very loved by the grandfather of the country.

Zhenguo Gong softened his expression, "Originally, it was unreasonable for me and your grandmother to come to see your third sister, but as soon as my grandfather returned home, he heard that your third sister couldn't get up, so we came over." ”

When Ming Zhen heard this, he knelt down towards Zhenguo Gong and made another big salute, "Grandfather, you and your grandmother are so concerned about the third sister, Zhen'er thanked her grandfather and grandmother for the third sister." ”

Old Madam Ming was startled by Ming Zhen's kneeling, "What's the matter, hurry up." ”

Zhen Guogong also said: "Get up." If there is anything, your grandfather and grandmother will make decisions for you. ”

"Yes!" Ming Zhen got up slowly, a smile flashed in his lowered eyes, but there was sadness on his face, "Let's ask grandmother to go and see the third sister first." ”

Mrs. Ming was full of suspicion, and Ming Zhen stepped forward and carried her into the inner room.

Mingrou was half-leaning on the brocade pillow, her soft face was blue and purple at this time, which looked particularly terrifying, and the exposed snow-white jade arm was also scarred.

She may have heard the movement, and hurriedly covered herself with a brocade quilt, "Big sister, who is here?" ”
