No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 239 Follow Your Own Heart

Lin Mingyan is a person who loves to study, otherwise she would have been muddle-headed like the girls in the village in her previous life.

They start working illegally when they are teenagers, and are sucked dry for a few years to make money for the bride price.

After she went to her husband's family and gave birth to several children, she worked like a slave all her life and then went on to harm her own daughter.

Even though she was now the Fourth Master's concubine, she was only passive for a while before she started studying again.

So in this era, it is considered good for a little girl to be able to calm down and read.

Zhang Ruoxue's habit is quite good. Putting aside her brother's lifelong affairs, Lin Mingyan still likes this little girl very much.

"Reading can broaden one's horizons and increase one's knowledge. It's great that Miss Zhang is like this." Lin Mingyan praised with a smile.

A hint of joy flashed in Zhang Ruoxue's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Really...really?"

Dad often said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, but he was quite strict with my brothers.

If she hadn't insisted on finding books to read, her father would have only allowed her to glance over the Four Books for Women.

She was the same when she was outside. When asked what books she had read, she didn't dare to go into detail. She could only say that she had read some miscellaneous books.

"Of course," Lin Mingyan affirmed.

After they chatted for a few sentences, Zhang Ruoxue stared at her with sparkling eyes.

But she was a shy person, and there were many things she couldn't say, and we couldn't talk for long.

Not far away, Mingheng was talking to Fucha Jianing in a somewhat irritated tone, "Didn't I tell you that I had something to do today and asked you not to come to me?"

Although Fucha Jianing has a bad temper, he has one advantage, which is that he listens to advice.

He had planned yesterday to come to see his sister today instead of going on an errand, and specifically told her not to bother him again.

Why did we meet again today?

He also spoke rudely to his sister.

Thinking about what she had just said to scold her sister, a dark light flashed in Mingheng's eyes.

Seeing him frown and speak in a serious tone, Fucha Jianing felt a little uneasy and said, "It was Shushen who said that you were riding a horse with a beautiful woman."

"I wasn't afraid...that's why I came here."

After saying that, he said dejectedly, "Who would have thought that it was your sister? Would she hate me very much?"

"What should I do? What should I do?"

She was spoiled by her family since she was a child, and the only time she had to be humble in her life was when talking to Mingheng.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he offended his sister.

If she hadn't been trying to save face in public, she would have burst into tears.

Mingheng snorted coldly: "What should I do? When you curse at someone, why don't you think about how the person being cursed will feel?"

"And I gave you advice, telling you to stay away from Nara clan."

The Fourth Master's wife was from the Nara clan. Even if he didn't deliberately inquire about it, he knew a lot about the oppression suffered by the wife.

Apart from anything else, the fact that he was sent to the battlefield when he was only ten years old was also the fault of the Nara clan.

He is a man of few words and holds grudges in his heart.

Moreover, although Fu Cha was willful and capricious in the past, she could still be described as naive.

What he did today was really disgusting. Does it mean that just because the person standing with him is not his sister, he deserves to be scolded by her?

Fucha Jianing lowered his head, not noticing the flash of disgust on Mingheng's face. He whispered, "I...she came over to play with me, and I couldn't do anything..."

Although she is a domineering person, she never hits someone who smiles at her, and it is not good to embarrass others on purpose.

Mingheng said: "That's your business!"

"That's all I have to say. Please don't bother me again!"

"Ming...Mingheng~" Fu Cha Jianing was speechless and didn't know what to say.

Mingheng didn't stay any longer, but turned around and walked quickly to Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan looked at his cold face and gave up the idea of playing with the three little girls.

After taking a few bites of the juicy beggar's chicken, she returned to the tent under his escort.

"Brother Heng has grown up, and is loved by girls~" Lin Mingyan had endured for so long, and as soon as she entered the tent, she couldn't help teasing her younger brother.

Mingheng's face turned red, and he said, "Sister, why are you like this..."

The Manchus were more open-minded. After all, they were the second generation of emperors after entering the Pass, and the idea of marriages being arranged by parents and matchmakers was not yet so popular.

It would be a good thing if the young people really like the girl.

My younger brother is already at this age, and if these three things don’t work for him, he needs to interact with more people.

"Tell me, how did you meet?" Lin Mingyan was really curious.

After all, Mingheng has been a taciturn person since he was a child. He is completely different from the sweet-talking Mingchen.

It was quite surprising that he was chased by three little girls.

Seeing that she was asking questions, Mingheng could only say: "I will protect the Fucha family on the way..."

Fucha Jianing was a person who could not sit still and was always riding in a carriage or on a horse.

As a bodyguard, Mingheng couldn't let anyone run around aimlessly, so he had to follow.

We got to know each other as soon as we went back and forth.

"Sister, Jianing has a bad temper but she's not a bad person at heart, she's just a little stupid," Mingheng explained. "Someone instigated this incident in front of her today, so please don't be angry."

Ouch~

It’s rare.

Lin Mingyan thought that her brother was scolding her so angrily and calling someone aside to scold them because he hated the person.

What's the relationship? He even ran up to her and said nice things.

She pretended to be angry and said, "You didn't mean to? You still scolded me, how could I not be angry?"

"Um...then ask her to come over and apologize?" Mingheng was dumbfounded and a little anxious.

Lin Mingyan laughed inwardly, but she still said unhappily, "If apologies were useful, what would the Ministry of Justice be for?!"

what?

How did this escalate to the Ministry of Justice?

Mingheng said stupidly, "That's not the case. Let's just not have anything to do with her anymore."

Although he was a little stupid, he shouldn't be arrested and sent to the Ministry of Justice, right?

This will make my sister seem a little domineering, which is not good for her reputation.

Lin Mingyan saw his little face wrinkled like a dried orange and laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Brother Heng has really grown up~"

"Is my sister such an unreasonable person?"

"Sister? You...you are teasing me again." Mingheng reacted and felt a little embarrassed.

Lin Mingyan had teased him enough and didn't want to make her brother angry, so she changed the subject:

"Although I think the three girls are not very good, but you are the one who will live with us in the future, so you have to do what you want."

"Don't let the Niuhulu clan or any other family interfere with your decision."

To put it bluntly, if the two younger brothers had not returned to their ancestral home, their branch would have been extinct.

Life will go on as it comes, Ling Zhu has nothing to say.

Mingheng smiled and said, "Sister, you're joking. If I weren't from the Niuhulu clan or the Fujia clan, how could they possibly get involved with me?"

His official position was not high, and his abilities were somewhat inferior to those of the children of aristocratic families.

Even though my sister is the prince's concubine, others think it is difficult for the relationship to last long.

So when he was still Lin Mingheng, all those who came to propose marriage were from small and medium-sized families.

Now it’s different...
