After Being Kidnapped by the Crown Prince

Biying couldn't bear this grievance and still had something to say: “Miss ……”

Ming Zhu patted her hand, “Listen to me.”

Biying had no choice but to hold in her temper and instruct the coachman to turn around and go to the back door.

Ming Zhu also had a secret motive, the back door was only a wall away from the Wei residence, since the moment she had been sent to Zhao Zhi's other residence, she had never seen her former fiancé again.

The last time Ming Zhu and Wei Chiyu saw each other was during the Lantern Festival.
At that time, she took advantage of the fact that her father and legitimate elder sister went to the palace for a banquet to sneak out, at a moment during which the residence's monitoring was relaxed, and went to the festival with him.

Wei Chiyu used the money he earned for writing assignments on behalf of other students in order to buy her a particularly expensive hairpin.
The quality of the material was not the best, but the owner of the stall was a very talented carver, and the carving of the hairpin was very lifelike.

It was a jade hairpin and it cost twenty taels.
She found it too expensive and told him not to buy it.

But Wei Chiyu didn't listen to her and bought it anyway.
Ming Zhu had to admit, when that hairpin was placed in her palm, her heart did feel sweet.

Later, Zhao Zhi also bought her many hairpins, but she never really like any of those.

When Ming Zhu got off the carriage, before entering the Ming residence, she turned around to take a look, the walls were white and the tiles green and their courtyard door was closed.

The servant guarding the door was a little impatient, “Fifth miss, come in quickly.”

The residence's maidservants had cleaned the fifth miss's room in advance, they had burned mugwort leaves all over the room and had replaced the blankets.

But Biying suspected that they didn't clean the room thoroughly, and with Ah Ruo, she poured water again and cleaned everything over again.

When they were done cleaning the room, the sky was almost dark.

The servant boy from the front courtyard came to deliver a message, asking the fifth miss to come have the evening meal at the main hall.

Ming Zhu changed her clothes before going to the main hall, which was bustling with people from the first and second branch of the family.

Ming Zhu's father merely swept a glance at her and then moved his gaze away, “Sit down to eat.”

Ming Zhu had just taken her seat, when Ming Ru covered her mouth with a handkerchief and gently laughed twice, “Fifth sister hasn't come home in such a long time, it seems she has grown quite a bit distant from us.”

Ming Yuan also laughed along, “Fifth sister's status is now very different from before, it's only natural for her to be distant from us.”

Ming Yuan was Ming Ru's full little sister from the same mother.
Seeing that her big sister was about to marry into the crown prince's residence, she was even more disdainful of Ming Zhu, that seductive fox.
When she spoke, her tone was cynical and frosty.

Ming Zhu didn't come home to be mistreated, and when she spoke, she appeared cold and indifferent and her aura actually resembled Zhao Zhi's, “Since sister Yuan knows that I'm not the same as before, she should not talk to me this way.”

 

Ming Yuan laughed in anger, the pampered young lady that she was couldn't hold back her anger for a moment and had to win the battle of words, “Do you really think you're some kind of big shot now?

Ming Zhu didn't get angry nor bothered, “This is what you, sister Yuan, said, not what I said myself.”

Ming Yuan was about to further argue with her, when the Ming family's eldest master tapped the table, “It's enough, let's eat now.”

The table was filled with people who had their own agenda.

After a quiet dinner, Ming Zhu was stopped by Ming Yuan on her way back.
She didn't want to pay attention to her, but Ming Yuan brought several maids to block her way.

“Ming Zhu.”

“What is it?”

“You feel very proud?” Jealousy made Ming Yuan's face look quite harsh.
She grew up hating Ming Zhu because of her face.
When she was in a crowd, she was still very eye-catching, and no one would be unmoved by her beauty.

After growing up, she became even more beautiful, her features became exquisite, she had a fair complexion and a bulging chest, and even her waistline was also very good.
Her eyes appeared innocent and she looked overall delicate and pure.
Even if she was not born with this face that could charm people, her body alone was already enough to make men fall head over heels for her.

 

Ming Yuan squeezed the handkerchief in her hand with force.
She sneered and said mockingly, “How many more days can you stay proud ? Weren't you kicked out by the crown prince back to the Ming family ?”

Ming Zhu was speechless, “How can you be so sure that I was kicked out?”

Ming Yuan had a light laugh, “Don't tell me you think your matters are very well hidden ? Who else in the capital doesn't know that you're an outside mistress kept by the crown prince ?”

Ming Zhu remained silent.

Ming Yuan felt she had gained the upper hand and added, “You can go and ask around about your current reputation and listen carefully to what outsiders are saying.
They're saying that concubine-born daughters are vulgar, they can do anything, no matter how shameful, in order to get to the top.”

The corners of Ming Zhu's mouth twitched, “You aren't that much noble either.”
