Chapter 552 Recognizing One's Clan and Returning to One's Origin
Chapter 552 Recognizing the Clan and Returning to the Family "Miss Tian is truly beautiful inside and out. She keeps a pregnant woman by her side and doesn't even mind that she can't work."
"Yes, yes, if this were in another household, what could a pregnant woman do? She would have been sent away to work elsewhere long ago."
"Those who have served the master for a long time can be more lenient. For someone who has only been in the manor for a few days to be mentioned with such honor is truly remarkable."
Miss Tian listened to the flattery for a while before smiling and explaining, "She doesn't need to do anything. She and I are destined to be together. She just needs to stay by my side and chat with me."
These words garnered another wave of goodwill.
One compliment after another poured out, praising Miss Tian for her beauty and kindness, wishing they could sing her praises to the skies.
Following closely behind, the other young masters and ladies began chatting, while Du Mingxian stood quietly to the side, listening to their gossip and also keeping an eye on the young lady who was with Hongguo.
Hongguo had a maidservant by her side, and the two of them were serving a young lady, who should be the daughter of the prefect.
As she was from the prefect's family, some people fawned over her, while others refused to speak to her.
No matter who spoke to the prefect's daughter, she remained indifferent and seemed unhappy. Several young ladies, seeing her like this, turned and left.
Their eyes met in mid-air, and then they looked away in tacit agreement.
After a long while, when everyone had eaten half of the food they brought, Miss Tian finally stood up and walked to the prefect's daughter's side.
"Shall we take a walk?"
When the prefect's daughter saw that it was Miss Tian, she was somewhat reluctant to go, but out of consideration for her status, she finally stood up and said, "Please."
The two walked forward, and the four maids followed. Dong'er and another maid were in front, while Du Mingxian and Hongguo followed behind. Their eyes met in the air.
Du Mingxian used her sleeve to cover herself as she looked like she was about to fall over when they collided. Hongguo immediately supported her and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"
"It's nothing, I just lost my footing." Du Mingxian said, then moved her hand away.
Hongguo found a note in her hand. She quietly put it away and followed forward without making a sound.
Miss Tian and the prefect's daughter were chatting in front of her, and neither of them was keeping their voices down. Although the maids were a little further away, Ben Mingxian could still hear them clearly.
"Your marriage to my brother is absolutely good for you and your family," Miss Tian said in a somewhat condescending tone. "It's just that there are some things that need to be discussed with your father, otherwise such a good marriage wouldn't have fallen into your lap."
The prefect's daughter was also stubborn and angry. "Miss Tian and Young Master Ji have no other relationship. If she really admires him, she can marry Young Master Ji after marrying the heir of Prince Ming."
Miss Tian was a little angry and sneered, "Do you really think I don't want to? It's because I have no choice. If I had a way, what would be left for you?"
"You've already used your methods to force my father to agree, so what's the point of telling me this now? Do I have any other choice?" The prefect's daughter was very angry.
She didn't want to get married.
She didn't like Ji Heng, who looked like a handsome young man, but something always felt off about him.
But her father was determined to marry her off to him this time, so what could she do? She could only agree.
Miss Tian laughed, her words particularly infuriating, "Since you know you have no choice, then just wait to be married properly, don't make any pointless struggles."
"Don't make things ugly. You'll only have a good life after you get married. If things get too ugly, you'll be the one who suffers in the end."
The prefect's daughter was trembling with anger, as if she were about to collapse at any moment. "Are you threatening me?"
"So what? What can you do to me?"
"you……"
"Be sensible, and life will be easier."
The prefect's daughter was so angry that she turned around and left, unwilling to speak to her anymore, and had nothing more to say.
Miss Tian watched her leave, a mocking smile curving her lips. Finally, she fixed her gaze on Du Mingxian and said, "See? People who go against us never have a good ending."
Du Mingxian understood the threat in those words, but she still replied, "Miss is right."
Yes, yes, yes, those who oppose you will not have a good ending.
But those who oppose you can also bring you to a bad end.
Miss Tian glanced at Du Mingxian, then suddenly seemed interested, "Will you come for a walk with me?"
The scenery in the suburbs is beautiful, but Du Mingxian has no interest in appreciating it at all. She steps forward, perks up, and looks at Miss Tian, "Miss."
"Let's go for a walk together. Dong'er doesn't need to come."
"Yes."
"Come for a walk with me."
Du Mingxian obediently followed Miss Tian. As they walked forward, Miss Tian said, "The woman who spoke to me just now was the daughter of the prefect, and also my brother Ji's fiancée."
“In the prefect’s family, the prefect’s wife usually makes the decisions. The prefect is a doting husband and listens to his wife in everything, but this time he did not listen to her.”
"Because he has his own reasons, he needs to marry his daughter to my brother Ji in order to save his life."
Du Mingxian's hands were sweating as she clasped them together. She was puzzled as to why Miss Tian, knowing that her identity was not simple, didn't just arrest her directly instead of keeping her by her side.
They don't use her for personal care, which means they don't trust her, but they still want to keep her around. Is this to use her as a bargaining chip?
It is not impossible.
It's unclear whether what Miss Tian knows is currently in the probing stage or in the direct threatening stage.
"The prefect is no good either. He's not a good official. His wife is alright, but she's stupid." At this point, Miss Tian laughed. "You don't know, do you? The prefect actually has a mistress outside."
"The prefect's wife thought she was very much favored by the prefect. Even though she only gave birth to a daughter, the prefect still treated her very well. But she didn't know that other people outside already had a son and a daughter."
"Moreover, the mistress outside is very intelligent and excellent in every way."
"You said that if the prefect's eldest daughter is married to my brother Ji, his two concubines might go back to the prefect's house, recognize their clan, and return to their ancestral home. That would be a great joy."
"To be honest, my brother is the most capable; he knows everything."
