I unlocked the heroine's chance in the book exile

So before Zhou Mingyu opened his mouth, Zhou Jinran took out two bags of pine nuts and chestnuts from a bag in the car and handed one of the bags to Zhou Mingyu.

As for her brother, he is still lying on the donkey cart thinking about Wang Yaoming and others who have not arrived yet.

"Sister Mingyu, tell me, what gossip do you have?"

Zhou Mingyu held the fragrant pine nuts in his hand and laughed as he saw Zhou Jinran listening attentively.

The reason why she came forward was because she saw that Zhou Jinran was in a bad mood.

In her eyes, Zhou Jinran has always been calm and self-controlled, which makes her often forget that Zhou Jinran is still younger than her.

Therefore, she was the first to notice Zhou Jinran's different state just now.

She always pays attention to those who have helped her a lot along the way.

Ask yourself, if she didn't know that as long as she didn't do anything to let Zhou Jinran down, she would continue to follow Zhou Jinran.

I'm afraid she is still the same as she was in the capital before, not daring to resist her mother.

In fact, she was still very nervous when she secretly threatened her parents in the name of Zhou Jinran that day.

Only later, when she found that Zhou Jinran had not changed the way he treated her, did she feel truly relieved.

It was also from that time that she decided to treat Zhou Jinran well in the future.

So now when she saw Zhou Jinran was unhappy, she came forward to make things fun for her.

"Sister Mingyu, what gossip do you want to talk about?"

Seeing that the pine nuts and chestnuts were ready and Zhou Mingyu hadn't spoken a word but was looking at her lovingly, Zhou Jinran asked again.

After all, she always felt awkward being looked at with loving eyes by someone who was only a few years older than her.

Zhou Mingyu didn't have this feeling. After Zhou Jinran spoke, she looked back and said.

"Sister Ran, do you know Li Minghua from the Li family?"

Although the original owner seldom went out in the capital before, she naturally knew that Li Minghua was as famous in the capital as Zhou Jinyan.

Seeing Zhou Jinran nod, Zhou Mingyu continued.

"Li Minghua is the eldest daughter of the family. She has been placed high hopes by the family since she was young. They have invited famous teachers and maids from the palace to teach her, hoping that one day she can restore the Li family's former reputation."

When Zhou Jinran heard Zhou Mingyu specifically emphasize the word "palace", he understood that the Li family wanted Li Minghua to enter the palace.

The Li family was also a prominent family in the past. When the Li family was prosperous, it was difficult to find a woman.

But no one knows why, but gradually, the glory of the Li family can only be maintained by their daughters, and none of the men can do anything.

However, in Zhou Jinran's memory, it seemed that the Li family had never had a daughter enter the palace before.

So she continued to look at Zhou Mingyu without knowing the situation.

Zhou Mingyu didn't want to keep anyone in suspense. When he saw Zhou Jinran looking at him, he immediately understood.

“The Li family had previously married a daughter to the emperor’s younger brother, when the emperor was still a prince. Moreover, the prince that the Li family’s daughter married was very popular with the emperor, and the Li family was also highly valued.

At that time, the Li family saw that they could gain great benefits from marrying off their daughter, so they focused on training their daughter, hoping that she would continue to make profits for the Li family. The men in the Li family relaxed a bit when they saw that they could enjoy a better life than before without having to work as hard as before.

But later, that prince was not made the crown prince. The one who was made the crown prince was the current emperor. After all, winning the emperor's favor does not mean that one can do practical things. But the prince was not convinced, so he was deposed and demoted to a commoner. The Li family was also affected by this and fell into decline rapidly, but the habits formed over more than ten years cannot be changed overnight.

Moreover, they had already reaped the benefits of marrying off their daughter, so they could never give up the idea of ​​marrying their daughter into the royal family. Therefore, the Li family cultivated Li Minghua, hoping that she would enter the palace and marry the prince, or even become the prince's concubine. However, before they could realize their idea, the emperor confiscated their property and exiled them. "

When Zhou Jinran heard this, he realized that except for Li Minghua, the others were all things of the previous generation. However, Zhou Jinran felt that it was normal for the Li family to marry off their daughters to maintain the family's honor. After all, it had happened in history before.

But when Zhou Jinran looked at Zhou Mingyu's appearance, it was obvious that the gossip she wanted to talk about today was not about the Li family's past. Thinking of Li Minghua whom she mentioned at the beginning, could it be that without her knowing, a big drama was also going on in the Li family behind the scenes?

"Sister Mingyu, did the Li Minghua you mentioned cause trouble while in exile?"

Zhou Mingyu was peeling a chestnut and throwing it into his mouth. When he heard Zhou Jinran's words, his eyes were full of disdain.

"Sister Ran, although Li Minghua is very famous in the capital, anyone with a little bit of brains knows that it was just spread by the Li family themselves. In fact, Li Minghua usually beats and scolds the servants at home when she is not satisfied. Even their concubine sister is suppressed by her.

Even though she is in exile now, she still often orders her concubine sisters to serve her, as if she is still in the capital. Just yesterday, the road was difficult to walk on, but she actually asked her concubine sisters to take turns carrying her.

Perhaps because she had been oppressed for too long, one of her concubine sisters, Li Mingyan, pretended to be careless when carrying her, and fell directly, causing her to hit her face on the ground and hit the stone, breaking her face.

Zhou Jinran's eyes suddenly widened. She learned from the original owner's memory that what Li Minghua cared about most was her face.

If her face was really broken, there would have been a big fuss yesterday, but why didn't she hear anything?

When Zhou Mingyu saw Zhou Jinran's confusion, he continued.

"Sister Ran, when Li Minghua broke her face yesterday, she fainted before she could even scream. After she woke up, she was watched by the Li family, so they didn't make a big fuss."

"Sister Mingyu, given her personality, she would still make a scene even if the Li family was watching. And what happened to Li Mingyan?"

Zhou Mingyu twitched the corners of his mouth, his tone full of sarcasm.

"Sister Ran, in the past, even if Li Minghua didn't make trouble, the Li family would still let her vent her anger, but now her face is ruined, so the Li family has given up on her, right? According to the Li family's actions, even if Li Minghua can't enter the palace, she will still be useful when she arrives in Nanze in the future.

But now she has lost face, not to mention her usefulness. The Li family still has to continue to support her. If she wants to live a good life, she dare not make a fuss and let Li Mingyan be punished.

As for Li Mingyan, although she was not trained like Li Minghua in the capital, she is good-looking after all. Now that Li Minghua is ruined, doesn't she have to fill Li Minghua's position?"

"Since the Li family wanted to use their daughters to gain benefits, why didn't they train all of their daughters, but only train Li Minghua?"
