Chapter 130 Mingli Questions
Mingli pointed directly at Xu Qingruo who was sitting beside her, her tone full of jealousy and resentment.
Lady Yingbo clapped her hands, frowned coldly, and scolded severely,
"Mingli, I took you in out of kindness for your mother's sake. I treated you the same as Ruo'er and never treated you unfairly.
Why could you be so cruel to Ruo'er, not only snatching her fiancé, but also taking Ruo'er's life and innocence.
I don't ask you to be grateful to the Xu family, but you can't do such a thing that is worse than pigs and dogs. You really disappoint your aunt."
Lady Yingbo cried out in grief. She really couldn't understand why the niece whom she had pampered for so many years could be so cruel to her own daughter. If she, her aunt, offended her in the slightest next time, would she also poison her without mercy?
After Lord Ying explained Ming Li's behavior to her, Lady Ying hugged Xu Qingruo and cried bitterly.
She no longer had the sympathy she once had for Mingli. She just wanted to know how Ruoer had offended her.
Mingli looked at the dignified and generous woman in front of her. When her mother stood next to her, she felt that she had aged ten years.
They were born in the same family, but their fates became completely different because one was a legitimate daughter and the other was a concubine's daughter.
Mingli swallowed the bitterness in her heart and ignored Ying Bo's wife, only focusing her eyes on Ying Bo, whose face was gloomy.
She whispered, "Master, do you still remember Wan Niang?"
There was no need for Master Ying to answer, Mingli had already seen the confusion on his face.
She wiped the tears from her face and dropped a bombshell.
"Wanniang's name is Pang Wan, she is my mother.
My father is not Mingshu, he is no other than you, my uncle."
Mingli blurted out what she had been holding back in her heart.
“You know what?
My mother has been waiting for you for many years and looking forward to you for many years.
At the beginning, my mother and you were in love, but my family had found a legitimate daughter for you and forced my mother to marry a poor scholar. After ten years, she could never return to the capital.
My mother was pregnant with me before she got married. She took great pains to hide the fact that she was pregnant so that she could give birth to me openly.
I came to the capital to seek refuge with Yingbo Mansion. To put it nicely, I went to seek refuge with my former aunt, but in fact I just returned to my own home. I am a legitimate lady of Yingbo Mansion.
Aunt, tell me, can I not fight for everything I deserve?"
Mingli thought she could see the guilty and distressed expression on Ying Bo's face, but what she got was a slap in the face.
Mingli was knocked back several steps by the force. She managed to steady herself, raised her eyes with resentment, and blurted out,
"Aunt, I know you..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw clearly that the person standing in front of him was Lord Ying.
At this moment, his face was as gloomy as water, and there was a cold aura around him. He looked at her as if he was looking at an enemy, cold and ruthless.
Mingli was stunned and embarrassed. She glanced at Xu Qingruo and Lady Yingbo one by one and found that the mother and daughter had cold expressions, as if they were treating her like a monkey and didn't care about her at all.
how come?
Knowing their own life stories, shouldn't these two people be angry, furious and resentful?
Having been deceived by her for so many years, and even the good husband and good father were not what they thought they were, aren't they sad at all?
Mingli was waiting for this moment, to witness Pang Rou's (Mrs. Ying's wife) embarrassment with her own eyes, so as to avenge her mother.
Pang Rou did not miss the bright look in his eyes. She felt disappointed for all her years of hard work. It turned out that she had raised an ungrateful person.
Mingli really didn't understand her. Lord Ying and the Ying Mansion had always been dependent on her as the head lady.
Even if she is Xu Qingjie's biological daughter, if anyone dares to hurt her Ruoer, he will make her pay the price.
As for Xu Qingruo, she simply believed in her father's character and would never betray her mother.
Shen Zhao followed Mingli in, found a secluded place to hide, and ate melon in silence.
He also took out some melon seeds from his pocket, bit them and spit out the rind, then ate the seeds. After he was done, he picked up another one and bit it off, taking the time to ask the melon-eating system,
[Guagua, is Mingli Lord Yingbo’s biological daughter?
I saw that she was so confident and didn't feel guilty at all, so that's what she thought. 】
[No, Mingli’s biological father is the scholar back then, Mingshu.
What Mingli thought was all instilled in her by her biological mother, and it was all false. 】
Shen Zhao couldn't wait to ask, "Guagua, is there any entanglement between Mingli's mother and Yingbo Mansion?"
[Mingli's mother Pang Wan is the illegitimate daughter of the Pang family. She was raised by Madam Pang and grew up with Pang Rou, so they have a better relationship than other sisters.
Pang Rou married the eldest son of Lord Ying, and Pang Wan, at the age of eighteen, had been selected to pass the imperial examination.
The Ming family only has Ming's mother and Ming Shu. Although the Ming family is poor, they have a very good family tradition.
Madam Pang was looking for a son-in-law through the list and she took a fancy to Mingshu.
Mingshu also promised that he would only be with Pang Wan in his life, and their marriage was settled.
Pang Wan was unwilling, and it happened that Pang Rou was pregnant with Xu Qingruo, so Pang Wan went to visit her.
The first time she saw Mr. Ying, she was fascinated by his appearance and talent. 】
Shen Zhao complained,
[I think he was fascinated by Lord Ying's status. He was the crown prince at that time, and his future position as Lord Ying was a foregone conclusion.
Pang Wan herself is going to marry a poor scholar, who has only a widowed mother at home who can't help Mingshu in any way. Who knows what will happen to her in the future?
Her husband and Pang Rou's husband were placed in front of her, how could she be willing?
Guagua Road,
[Host, you are right.]
When Pang Wan entered Yingbo's mansion, she made up her mind that she would stay there no matter what.
Even if she was to be a concubine, she was willing.
Pang Wan had a good idea. They were all sisters, and it was a good thing for them to serve their husbands together.
But she asked Pang Rou indirectly whether she had any plans to take a concubine for Lord Ying.
Before she could introduce herself, Pang Rou told her that the uncle had promised that he would never have two lovers in his life and would only be with one person.
At that time, Pang Wan forgot that her future husband had made the same promise.
If she became Mingshu's legal wife, with the support of Shangshu Pang, she would also be an official wife.
But Pang Wan was dazzled by the power and status in front of her. Since she couldn't get the upper hand from Pang Rou, she tried to curry favor with Lord Ying intentionally or unintentionally.
Later, she wanted to make the matter a fait accompli and designed the "catching the adulterer" scene herself, but she failed.
Lord Ying caught her red-handed, reprimanded Pang Wan mercilessly, and personally ordered his servants to send Pang Wan away.
Shen Zhao asked curiously, "Master Ying just let Pang Wan go so easily after she climbed onto the bed?"
[No, but in order not to disturb Pang Rou who was pregnant, Lord Ying only told Minister Pang about this matter and asked him to educate his daughter well.
Three days later, Minister Pang married Pang Wan off without any dowry. He just gave Pang Wan a small package and sent her away.
At that time, Ming Shu, who had passed the imperial examination, was waiting for the imperial court to assign him a position. With the help of Minister Pang, he was assigned to a county in the south to serve as a local official.
