Chapter 15: She's Not My Mother
"My mother, there is only one, that is, the daughter of the deceased Ying Mu Gong, Mrs. Yipin. Mingyue Ke took a deep breath, looked at Ming Guangyuan's gaze, and said solemnly, that gaze should have been full of father's love, but now, it is a little strange.
Yes, three years is enough to change a lot.
"You, the dead man, what do you mention her? From now on, your mother will be Zhen'er. Ming Guangyuan's face was quite angry, and at the same time, his face was even more pale for a while, at this time, more and more people were surrounding the door of the Ming Mansion, and they began to look lively, and many people also pointed their fingers.
As the right minister, Ming Guangyuan naturally has to take care of his face, and it is hard to imagine how the imperial capital will talk about the family affairs of their Ming Mansion tomorrow, and those old opponents above the court may also seize this matter to make a big fuss.
"Guangyuan Mo Qi! Mo Qi!" Bai Shi stretched out his soft pancreatic hand, stroked Ming Xiang's chest like a cat, and then glared at Ming Yueke, and said in a strange manner, "Alas, the eldest lady has never performed a family salute to the concubine, where does the concubine dare to bear the name of the eldest lady's mother?"
"But it's okay, the eldest lady's temper has always been like this, and I, as a lady, really can't do as well as Sister Qin. Bai Bingzhen said, and pretended to be aggrieved and shed two tears, and after seeing her crying, Ming Guangyuan's heart softened again, so he held Bai Bingzhen's hand and comforted her.
Mingyue Ke, who had a full view of this scene, sneered, his father Ming Guangyuan was really eaten to death by the eldest lady Bai Bingzhen, but Bai Bingzhen grasped the point of Ming Guangyuan's machismo and did what he liked.
"But fortunately, the eldest lady still listens to the words of the Xiangye and acts more according to the words of the elders, so that she will not suffer losses in the future and leave a handle for outsiders. When Bai Bingzhen was holding his jade hand in Mingguangyuan, he also leaned over the other party's chest, and at this time he was more like a winner, and he was in a coy manner.
A trace of doubt flashed in Mingyue Ke's eyes, this eldest lady still likes to provoke right and wrong as always, and even pinched Ming Xiang and Ming Guangyuan to death, sure enough, only to hear the next second, Ming Xiang spoke.
"Just came back, you should salute your father and mother, right?" Behind Ming Guangyuan's hands, there was a cold snort, obviously what the Bai clan said had a deliberate guiding effect on Ming Xiang.
Ming Guangyuan thought about it, the eldest daughter in front of him, Ming Yueke, had only been away from home for three years, and she had just come back and had not yet started, so she had to talk back to herself just now, and she also mentioned the late original wife who was forbidden to mention it up and down in the Ming Mansion.
If you don't discipline yourself more at this time, maybe in the future, you will really leave a handle for outsiders, and maybe you will be laughed at by those old opponents above your court, laughing at yourself for not even being able to discipline your daughter well.
"It is natural to pay homage to my father, but I have already made it clear that this person is not my mother. Mingyue Ke said, glancing at the Bai family out of the corner of her eye, she naturally knew the little abacus in the Bai family's heart, this has not yet entered the Ming Mansion, and she staged such a good show at the door, which is nothing more than trying to tell the truth and spread rumors, so that it will be difficult for her to gain a foothold in the Ming Mansion and the imperial capital in the future.
It's a pity that the Bai family made a mistake in the little abacus, but she didn't know that the object hidden in Mingyue Ke's sleeve at this time had already been decided, and the defeat of the Bai family today.
"What's more, my daughter traveled all the way, and it took three days and three nights to reach the imperial capital, and before she could get off the carriage and trim her face, her father and the eldest lady stopped her daughter at the door, and even asked her daughter to perform a family salute at the gate of the Ming Mansion in front of the people of the imperial capital, is it inappropriate?" Mingyue Ke also did not show weakness at all, and asked Ming Guangyuan.
For a while, in the face of Ming Yueke's rhetorical question, Ming Guangyuan was also stunned, and he was angry, but he was not thoughtful.
In fact, at the first glance of Mingyue Ke just now, Ming Guangyuan felt a little guilty, in the past three years, it was indeed he who neglected this eldest daughter who was left in Yongsu City, and originally thought that after his daughter returned home this time, he would make up for it, but he didn't expect that Fang Cai would be dizzy.
"That's right..."Ming Guangyuan's anger was half gone, and he planned to give up, but the Bai clan saw Ming Guangyuan's change with sharp eyes, and looked at Mingyue Ke at this time, hating it so much, but he couldn't help the other party for the time being.
After all, Bai Bingzhen has always maintained a virtuous and virtuous image in front of Ming Guangyuan, otherwise, it would be impossible for Ming Guangyuan to rest assured that he would hand over the full power of the Ming Mansion to Bai Bingzhen, so even if Bai Bingzhen was extremely resentful at this time, he could not show the slightest on his face.
Otherwise, whenever Bai Bingzhen shows a little dissatisfaction, it will cause Ming Guangyuan's disgust, Bai Bingzhen knows too well that Ming Guangyuan has no love for her, but she is greedy for beauty at the beginning, and now it is just the power of the queen faction behind Bai Bingzhen in the court.
Therefore, if Bai Bingzhen wants Ming Guangyuan's love for her to endure for a long time, she must be careful to maintain her image, but today's matter, she can't swallow this breath.
"Xiangye, the family has family rules, and the state has national laws..."Bai Bingzhen still tugged at Ming Guangyuan's sleeve and reminded the other party.
And Ming Guangyuan lowered his head, and really looked at Bai Bingzhen's worried gaze, "The eldest lady can not pay a family salute to the concubine, but the family gift of the Xiangye must not be omitted!"
"As for the concubine, I don't dare to ask for too much, I just hope that the eldest lady can sincerely apologize to Yu'er, I heard that Yu'er was pushed into the pond of Baifu by the eldest lady, and she suffered from the wind and cold, and now she is still sick in bed..."
After listening to Bai Bingzhen's words, Ming Xiang originally felt that at this time, he had been deadlocked at the gate of the Ming Mansion for a long time, and there were more people watching the jokes, so he was ready to let his eldest daughter Mingyue Ke enter the mansion first, and then solve it.
But now, listening to Bai's description, combined with Fang Cai Mingyue Ke and Mingxiang's rebuttal, it makes Ming Guangyuan feel even more that it is time to discipline this eldest daughter, and he should give the other party a dismount before entering the house, so that she can restrain the arrogant and domineering temperament she has developed when she has been away for the past three years.
"What your mother said is also right, I have repeatedly contradicted my father, if it weren't for your tiring sake, I would have been serving the family law a long time ago, okay, you can do a family ceremony with me and your mother for the time being, and then go down to rest, today's matter, that's it!" Ming Xiang also waved his hand at Mingyue Ke at this time, signaling her to come forward and salute.
However, Mingyue Ke stood firmly in place, and asked rhetorically, word by word, "Do you really want me to perform a family ceremony?"
