hell cycle

Minglou and Mingjing were a little surprised when they heard this. Mingjing looked at Aunt Gui in amazement and said, "Aunt Gui, what are you talking about? Ah Cheng is your son? Why... I haven't heard you say that ...Ah, by the way, you said that you adopted a child, and that child is Ah-Cheng? This...why didn't you say it earlier. "

Aunt Gui nodded, and said tremblingly: "Yes... I... I shouldn't hide it from the young lady and the young master, but I..." She didn't want his son to bow his head to the Ming family, she didn't want his son to be like him Also just because there is a mother who is a servant, you will bow down, but you can't say this, you can't say it to the Ming family siblings.Thinking of the message from Ming Jing to the former housekeeper that she unconsciously heard a few days ago, Aunt Gui was very panicked. If she hadn’t heard that message by accident, she would have been able to stand up to Ming Jing and Ming Lou by virtue of her years of working in the Ming family. With a generous character, she still wouldn't lose her composure. She looked up at Minglou and Mingjing with some trepidation, and Aunt Gui said, "I shouldn't hide it from the young miss and the young master, but... miss, I'm old, but I can still work, you... don't dismiss me, Ah Cheng is still young and still studying, I need money for teaching fees."

Ming Jing couldn't understand Aunt Gui's words, she got up and took Aunt Gui's hand, let Aunt Gui sit on the sofa, and asked with doubts in her eyes: "Aunt Gui, who did you hear that you are going to be fired? "

Xu Shimingjing's attitude and this questioning question reassured Aunt Gui, and Aunt Gui's mood calmed down a bit, but she still said with a bit of anxiety: "I... I heard that the eldest lady sent a letter to the old housekeeper the other day. , Said that I am old and want to find a new servant."

Only then did Ming Jing figure out the reason why Aunt Gui was so "out of control", he suddenly laughed, and said, "Oh, Aunt Gui, where are you going, you have worked in our Ming family for so many years, when my parents had an accident, the family It's in such a mess, you and the old housekeeper haven't left, how could I let you go? I sent a message to the old housekeeper because I think Mingtai's current age is just the time to be mischievous. It’s such a mess, I’m afraid you won’t be able to handle it all by yourself, I want the old housekeeper’s granddaughter Axiang to help you, that’s all.”

When Aunt Gui heard Ming Jing's words, her heart that had been hanging in the air these days finally fell to the ground, and a look of relief appeared on her face.

At this moment, Ming Jing suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, Aunt Gui, your family...you said that Ah Cheng is the child you adopted."

When Aunt Gui heard that Ming Jing suddenly mentioned Ah Cheng, her face, which was relieved from a heavy burden, stiffened immediately, but she dared not answer Ming Jing's words, so she lowered her eyebrows slightly to cover her eyes, and said, "Yes, it is Ah Cheng."

Hearing Aunt Gui's words, Mingjing regained his energy immediately, and said happily, "Aunt Gui, Ah Cheng is really so smart? Hey, how old is he older than Mingtai? Aunt Gui, take him to play at home." My son, I heard from the teacher at the school that your son is very good, and he is very hardworking in his studies. I don’t know how many times more sensible than Mingtai. You let Ah Cheng come to play at home, and teach Mingtai by the way, see See how other people's children learn."

If she didn't know that the Ming family wanted to hire another servant, and without the embarrassing incident just now, Aunt Gui could still refuse Ming Jing by relying on her years in the Ming family, but now she really doesn't have the confidence and courage .

Listening to Aunt Gui's retelling of what happened in Ming's house, Ah Cheng looked at Aunt Gui's eyes looking at him with a little guilt, and was very quiet.

Ah Cheng understands why Aunt Gui didn't resolutely refuse. It's a kind of... a kind of little person or "servant" mentality that people like Minglou and Mingjing will never understand, that kind of relying on others, that kind of The confusion of honor, disgrace, and survival being controlled by others, that kind of feeling makes people bend down unconsciously, kneels down on the knees that they wanted to straighten, and looks up at other people's curtains, because those who are masters When people are angry, angry, and unhappy, you are finished.

Ah Cheng thought of the life when he was a traitor, the life when he chose the same path as the person he hated.

Perhaps until the moment when Minglou killed him with his own hands, Minglou would not understand why the child he raised with his own hands, the child he saved from Aunt Gui, would choose to cooperate with the person who wanted to torture and kill him, and then make a It is about betraying the Ming family and betraying the entire country and the entire nation.

In fact, it was just because he didn't want to be an ant who could be crushed to death at any time.

That desire was so strong that it made him choose the most wrong path, making a mistake to the end, and it was difficult to turn back in the end.

Ah Cheng spoke, with a very quiet voice, and said, "Mom, I'll just go, don't be afraid."

The immature child said "Mom, don't be afraid" in such an immature voice. Aunt Gui suddenly wanted to cry. A stronger emotion besides the anticipation of his return—hate, hating the man who not only abandoned her but also their sensible and smart Ah Cheng.

Her Ah Cheng should have been the same young master as Ming Tai.

"Eldest sister, do you feel that Aunt Gui seems to be a bit unwilling?" Minglou, who watched the elder sister and Aunt Gui remain silent while talking, said this to Ming Jing after Aunt Gui left.

Ming Jing had just gone to the house to watch Mingtai and came back. As soon as he was seated, he heard Minglou's words. He frowned slightly and said, "You mean just now Aunt Gui...Aunt Gui didn't agree to bring Ah Cheng to our house?"

Minglou said: "The primary school that Mingtai is currently attending is run by the church, and the tuition fees are not very cheap. Those who can study in this primary school, the family environment is not too bad. Aunt Gui let Ah Cheng go to the school without telling us. Such an expensive elementary school, does she want the teachers and classmates in the school to know that Ah Cheng's mother is a servant?" Minglou paused for a moment, then continued, "Aunt Gui may be hiding it from us because she is afraid that Mingtai will find out, children? If you can't control your mouth, if you talk nonsense in school, Ah Cheng's life will be difficult."

Ming Jing is not the kind of young lady who doesn't know the world. She took over the Ming family at the age of 17. Today, she knows people's hearts and the world so much better than those rich and noble people who don't know the difficulties of starting a business. After listening to Minglou's words, Just now because of all kinds of situations, my thoughtful head immediately came to my senses, and said, "No wonder Aunt Gui was a little reluctant to agree when I asked Aunt Gui to bring Ah Cheng to the house just now, by the way, I remember you said once , I want to give your old clothes to Aunt Gui, Aunt Gui doesn’t want it, Aunt Gui really cares about this adopted Cheng.” Speaking of this, Ming Jing was also a little annoyed, and said, “Why didn’t you remind me just now? Besides, I can take back what I said.”

Minglou said helplessly and aggrieved: "You speak so fast, how could I have time to stop you?"

The next day, Mingcheng arrived at Ming's house with a music box in his arms. When Aunt Gui led Mingcheng into the house, he happened to catch up with another group of people walking into the house, but it was the son of the old housekeeper of the Ming's house who brought his Daughter Axiang came into the house carrying a bundle and greeted Mingjing and Minglou.

The old housekeeper's son bent over and said to Ming Jing very humbly: "This is my daughter Axiang. Although she is stupid, she is still hardworking. My father said that the eldest lady and the eldest young master are generous people. This girl from my family , is a bit naughty, I hope the young lady and the young master will be more lenient in the future."

Ming Jing sighed slightly in his heart towards the humble and apprehensive attitude of the old housekeeper's son. Unlike other ladies from rich and noble families, she had some ideals different from her status, and she didn't enjoy the treatment of "servants". She was full of fear, but she also knew how difficult it is to change many deep-rooted thoughts, so she didn't say much, just pulled Axiang and said with a smile: "Oh my God, I was still a baby when I saw you last time. She has grown into a great beauty, don't worry, Ah Xiang will not be wronged with me."

Ming Jing greeted the son of the old housekeeper to come in and rest, but the other party said: "No, I booked the train back when I came, and the field is busy now, and I can't do without people, and my father is also worried, and wants me to give the young master and The eldest lady will take care of it, and then go home and report to him after finishing the matter."

When the other party said that, it was not easy for Ming Jing to keep him, and asked Minglou to enter the house and take out the gift he had prepared for the old housekeeper to bring back to Ah Xiang's father, but the other party did not refuse.

Just when Ah Xiang's father was leaving, Aunt Gui, who had been standing at the door, waited for Ming Jing to finish speaking, and took Ah Cheng to the sofa in the living room. After Ah Xiang had put away her burden, she turned around and went back to the living room. Aunt Gui pointed to the Ming Ming Mirror and then to the Ming Building, and said, "That's the eldest lady, this is the eldest young master."

Looking up, he saw Minglou standing in front of him. This was the first time he saw Minglou in his life.

Facing Shang Minglou's eyes, Mingcheng's heart skipped a beat, and then he called for someone, instead of "Miss, Young Master", he said, "Brother, sister, my name is Cheng."
