Chapter 543 The Silence in Her Heart
Du Mingxian stepped forward, put the things down, and turned to leave when she heard Ji Heng say, "I never expected that my sister's courtyard had such a beauty."
“Brother, don’t joke around. Didn’t you see how big her belly is? She’s already married, and her husband comes over every other day to deliver things. They seem to have a very good relationship.”
Because Du Mingxian was leaving, she didn't hear what the other person said afterward and could only go back to her room first.
Miss Tian's words made her uncomfortable, but she was even more shocked by Ji Heng's appearance.
Others might not be able to tell, but she was an assassin in her past life, so she remembers certain features very clearly. Ji Heng thought she looked like a Da Shun person, but she wasn't.
Ji Heng is definitely not a Da Shun person.
The man who was to marry the prefect's eldest daughter turned out to be not from Da Shun. What a mess this is! Does the prefect know about this?
Thinking of what Hongtao had said, she was certain that the prefect must know Ji Heng's identity.
It's quite intriguing when someone who usually goes along with his wife suddenly becomes unusually persistent about this matter.
In Miss Tian's courtyard, Ji Heng said with a smile, "You know your brother's preferences. So what if she has a husband? She's yours now, and if you want, she can become mine."
"Brother, her cooking skills are quite good. You should try her milk tea. I really can't bear to give her away." Miss Tian was genuinely reluctant.
Ji Heng simply waved his hand and said, "Forget it. She is, after all, a member of my sister's household. I can't force her. Since things can't be done, I won't dwell on it."
"Thank you for your understanding, brother."
"Sigh, I even saw Mo on my trip. I was thinking that since you like him, I'd try to get him to come over sometime. But who would have thought that my sister now loves milk tea and doesn't even like Mo anymore?"
"What? Mo?" Miss Tian stood up excitedly, her whole body pounding with excitement. She even grabbed Ji Heng's clothes. "Brother, are you telling the truth? You really saw him?"
"Of course, would I lie to you?"
"Okay, I'll give you Xiao Du. You find a way to get Mo to me. I want to keep him by my side."
Ji Heng shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, you mustn't think like that. You should know what kind of person Mo is. Even if I bring him here, if I want him to stay, he has to be willing, right? Do you think you can barely keep him?"
"Of course not, I will talk to him nicely and tell him that I want him to stay."
"should be okay."
Miss Tian's mind was filled with silence. "Brother, I'll have Xiao Du send milk tea to your yard later. You can seize the opportunity yourself. I can't be too obvious, after all, her husband still provides me with fruit. It's the two of them who go out to get things."
"You really only remember to eat." Ji Heng pinched her cheek affectionately. "Alright, after I leave in a bit, have her send something to my room. You don't need to worry about the rest."
"it is good."
Du Mingxian was still in her room recalling Ji Heng's appearance when a maid came to tell her to make a cup of milk tea and deliver it directly to Young Master Ji's courtyard.
Thinking back to the conversation between Miss Tian and Ji Heng before she left, she suddenly understood something. "Sister, I'm not feeling well right now. Could you please help me get there?"
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but Miss has agreed to let you deliver it, and I don't dare to go against her wishes. You'd better pray for yourself."
Du Mingxian watched the maid leave, completely helpless and forced to face the situation alone.
As she slowly brewed the milk tea, Granny Chen arrived, looked at her with pity, and said, "We've known each other for a long time, so I'll say something."
"Please speak, Granny Chen."
"We servants have no way to refuse our master's demands. Sometimes, we can suffer less if we are obedient."
Du Mingxian understood the meaning behind the words, "Auntie, I sold my fruit back then because I liked gossip. I knew that Miss Tian was favored, but Prince Ming was always having women outside."
"I came to sell things in front of the Tian family mansion because of that gossip. That's how I met Auntie. We hit it off and went back and forth many times."
"Until later when I entered the Tian residence."
“Auntie, coming to the Tian family was not my original intention. I just like gossip, but I prefer freedom. But for the sake of my life, I chose to stay in the Tian family and do my job well, just so that I can please the young lady and be allowed to leave the family when she is happy.”
"Auntie, look at my belly, how many months pregnant am I? How can I possibly serve another man? I'm a pregnant woman!"
Granny Chen silently felt sorry for Du Mingxian for a while. "Auntie knows you're wronged, but these things have already been decided and can't be changed. Today, Miss asked you to go to Young Master Ji's courtyard, but that wasn't Miss's original intention."
"Miss needs something from Young Master Ji, which is why she chose to release you. After all, Young Master Ji is interested in you."
Du Mingxian frowned. "Miss is the master's, and even the entire Tian family's, darling. Everything is done for Miss. Young Master Ji is just the master's student. Shouldn't he be fawning over Miss?"
"One more thing, if Miss really has something she wants Young Master Ji to help her with, she can just go directly to him. Would Young Master Ji refuse? If Young Master Ji doesn't agree, she can go directly to Master. Things will eventually work out."
Why sacrifice a pregnant woman like me?
Granny Chen shook her head. "That's because you don't know." At this point, she genuinely felt sorry for Du Mingxian, so she decided to quietly explain it to her.
"Before Miss returned to the manor, she had someone she liked. That person was a chivalrous knight named Mo. Mo saved Miss once, and Miss couldn't forget Mo."
“But the young lady has to stay at home all the time and rarely goes out. Sometimes she does go out to attend banquets, but she can’t show her face in public like other women.”
"Mo is also a chivalrous person, and Miss is also engaged to the Crown Prince of Ming."
“Mo had lived at home before. At that time, the master expressed his disagreement, but the young lady said that she just wanted to, and there was no use in the master trying to control her.”
"Later, Mo overheard servants gossiping somewhere that the young lady liked the Prince of Ming and that the two were about to get married. Mo then quietly left, leaving the young lady only a letter."
"Over the years, although Miss and Prince Ming have been engaged, they do not have each other in their hearts. Miss has always been silent, while Prince Ming has many women in his heart and is very promiscuous."
"If someone persists for several years just to wait for someone, and they're about to give up when they see no hope, but then suddenly receive news, do you think they'll give up? Of course, they'll try every means to get her back."
