The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 375 375. Heart-to-heart talk

Xu Mingyue didn't know that after Feng Jinlin returned, Cao Sanlang came to ask for his hand in marriage.

 After returning to the small courtyard from the academy, he stayed in the house without going out.

Feng Jinyao came to her with some snacks, but saw that she was hesitant to speak.

 “Tell me, what’s the matter?”

“Have you known your second brother’s thoughts for a long time?”

Feng Jinyao was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across her face, "Did he tell you?"

"Um."

Xu Mingyue nodded helplessly. She naturally pretended to be restrained in front of Feng Jinlin, but now she revealed her daughter's family's true attitude.

Feng Jinyao pushed the cake in front of her and asked her to eat while talking.

Xu Mingyue didn't have the appetite, so she briefly explained what Feng Jinlin had revealed in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Feng Jinyao teased her, "Don't you even look down on people like my second brother?"

"It's not that I don't like her, it's just..." Before she could say anything, she realized that she seemed to have been deceived by Feng Jinyao, so she wanted to hit her angrily.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more jokes. I'm seriously asking, Sister Xu, do you have any intention of asking my second brother?"

These words silenced Xu Mingyue, and she spoke after a moment.

“I’ve never thought about it, so if you ask me now, I can only answer, no.”

Xu Mingyue didn't hide it, Feng Jinyao admired it most.

“But that doesn’t stop you from being interested in him now, right?”

Feng Jinyao's words made Xu Mingyue fall into deep thought again, and then nodded eccentrically.

 At least from this period of contact, she has never rejected Feng Jinlin, nor has she had any dissatisfaction with him.

Seeing Xu Mingyue's wavering, Feng Jinyao said immediately.

"Actually, many of us know that my second brother is interested in you. Do you still remember that during the Lantern Festival, he offered to send you home, and I found out what he was thinking. The same goes for my mother, so I discussed it with my father. I wanted to talk to Mr. Pavilion first, but I was afraid that you would look down on his cynical attitude in the past, so when he was selected as the top prize, he asked for a favor in front of His Majesty, and made his own decisions about his future marriages. I guess at that time He wanted to tell you about it, but he was delayed by the transfer order from Jinling City. Unexpectedly, the two of you met here again by fate, so I am not surprised that the second brother will confess his love. "

Hearing Feng Jinyao say these words, Xu Mingyue suddenly felt that this was the case.

 But at that time, she thought that Feng Jinlin was just offering to send her home out of protection for her sister's friends, so she didn't think much about it.

 In the subsequent meetings, many outsiders were present, and it was not obvious.

What's more, my grandfather has already made it clear that she will decide her future marriage. If she doesn't nod her head and agree, even if the King of Heaven comes, I won't get married!

 But she has been busy with matters in the academy and has no time or inclination to think about these things, so she delayed it until today.

Seeing that her expression was somewhat moved, Feng Jinyao struck while the iron was hot.

“Sister Xu, I can’t guarantee anything else, but my second brother’s feelings for you are really pure. Do you know how I found out that Liang Pan and Wei Lanxuan were having an affair?”

Xu Mingyue was surprised, she didn't know about this. "It was the second brother who discovered that Liang Pan went to see Wei Lanxuan's maid secretly at my grandmother's birthday party. After he found out, he reminded me. On the day of the Wei family's banquet, I also told the matter. My cousin knows that even if there was no incident of falling into the water, we would have planned for you to see the two of them having a private meeting."

Feng Jinyao was not afraid of smearing herself, and she immediately revealed the matter.

Xu Mingyue looked at her blankly. Feng Jinyao thought she was going to talk about him, but unexpectedly he saw her smile, with relief on her expression.

"I have no feelings for the Liang family's marriage at all, so I made such a fuss after Wei Lanxuan fell into the water. Speaking of which, I really feel sorry for Wei Lanxuan."

Her reputation was damaged a lot because of this. Although she and Liang Pan had some personal relationships, their intentions were not so aboveboard and they were just pushing the boat along.

 The two of them looked at each other and smiled, completely burying this little secret in their hearts.

"You've just told me, what about you? Have you ever understood the prince's thoughts?"

Xu Mingyue is a decisive person. Once he figures it out, he will no longer be entangled in it.

 So, she planned to accept Feng Jinlin.

 But Feng Jinyao, who had the same "troubles" as her, seemed to be at odds with her.

Feng Jinyao never thought that she would bring the topic to this, so she said evasively, "What are you talking about, Sister Xu?"

"At this point, I don't want to hide it anymore. Old Mrs. Min and my grandfather have been friends for decades. They met when they were young. Later, my grandfather was able to go to Beijing to take the exam with the help of Old Mrs. Min, but their friendship was not much. Everyone knows that Mr. Min never used this to ask his grandfather to do things, and my grandfather spent all his love for his best friend on loving Prince Ding."

 Xu Mingyue's words were something Feng Jinyao had never thought of.

 She didn’t even know that the relationship between Prince Ding and the Xu family was so close, which shows that the news was indeed hidden very deep!

"Do you still remember? My grandfather gave you many good things in the name of saving the cat. In fact, they were all prepared by King Ding. My grandfather was just a name."

Feng Jinyao was speechless, "I told you, isn't Mr. Ge Lao always honest? How come there are so many good things!"

Xu Mingyue pursed her lips and snickered, "Not only that, but when uncle was injured, the purple jade dew I sent was also sent by the prince. Didn't I tell you at that time that it was a gift from my grandfather's good friend in Jiangnan? Really? In fact, I borrowed Mr. Min’s excuse."

Hearing this, Feng Jinyao felt a sudden realization.

Thinking of Uncle Shou's attitude towards her and the care he gave to the Feng family, thinking of Cousin Bai being in danger and asking Yang Zhao to rescue him in front of Prince Kang's Mansion, he also thought of his contribution to the Wen family's incident, and of his actions in Jinling City. After all, Feng Jinyao would be lying if she said she wasn't moved.

 For the first time, I felt guilty.

  She had the idea of ​​taking advantage of Yin Canwen from the beginning. Even though he was kind to the Feng family when taking care of Yunhe, she did not give up using him to retaliate against the Wen family.

Therefore, she could only quickly end Yin Canwen's feelings for her. Not letting him think about her was the greatest protection for him.

 As for Ding Wang Xiao Tingyi, she did not intend to provoke him from the beginning. If it were not for the Wen family's affairs, she would never have any involvement with him.

 But this involvement has become densely intertwined in every aspect of her life.

By the time she reacted, everyone else had already sided with Xiao Tingyi.
