Just as Liu Zhang and Zhen Jiang were having a rough time, a guest came to Zhen Mi's room in Beigong.
Although Liu Zhang ordered the palace maids to take good care of Zhen Mi, they did not dare to block this person's visit at all.
Liu Zhang's concubine, Cai Yan.
Facing the delicate-looking stranger in front of her, Zhen Mi was a little at a loss.
Although Cai Yan had an extremely kind and warm smile on his face, it still made Zhen Mi feel fearful.
Zhen Mi didn't know if the woman in front of her was the palace lady who had a deep opinion of her outside the carriage before!
"Daughter Zhen Mi, greetings... Madam."
"Sister Mi'er, there's no need to be polite!"
Cai Yan gently helped Zhen Mi up and took her hand affectionately.
"She is indeed the woman that makes Duke Qin yearn for her. She has such a look that is rare in the world!"
Now Cai Yan finally knew why Liu Zhang loved Zhen Mi so much!
Such peerless appearance made Cai Yan, who was already so graceful, feel a little ashamed of herself.
Especially at this age, there is no way to compare with Zhen Mi in front of you!
Zhen Mi was not elated because of Cai Yan's praise.
She first cast a grateful look, and then praised Cai Yan.
"The lady is dignified and virtuous, and she will conquer the country and the city, far better than Zhen Mi."
She is beautiful, her voice is even more beautiful, and she is so humble. Cai Yan had a great first impression of Zhen Mi.
Cai Yan was originally a woman with a weak personality. Envy and jealousy had never been with her in her life.
I still feel happy when others praise me.
Now that I have met Zhen Mi, she is not at all arrogant because of her stunning beauty and Liu Zhang's favor!
This is already very rare for a woman under the age of weak crown.
"Sister Mi'er is joking. She is already 30 years old and her appearance is declining."
Zhen Mi shook her head slightly, not agreeing with Cai Yan's self-deprecation.
"If Madam hadn't told her, Zhen Mi would have thought Madam was a few years older than me!"
Zhen Mi was not bragging without principles. She could not see any signs of aging in Cai Yan in front of her.
If I have to talk about the difference between him and her, I can only say that Cai Yan has the charm of a mature woman, while she is relatively young and immature.
As for appearance, Zhen Mi doesn't think Cai Yan is any worse than her.
I can’t even imagine how beautiful Cai Yan was ten years ago!
Cai Yan no longer dwelled on his appearance and readily accepted Zhen Mi's compliments.
"Sister Mi'er, since you are already Duke Qin's woman, just call me Sister Cai!"
"We will be a family in the future."
Zhen Mi's face turned red at first, then her expression darkened, and she lowered her head slightly.
"I...can I be sisters with Sister Cai?"
Regarding Cai Yan in front of her, Zhen Mi knew her identity.
Liu Zhang's childhood sweetheart and the daughter of the great scholar Cai Yong.
Regardless of identity or status, he is already at the top of the world.
And what about Zhen Mi?
She was just a young daughter of an ordinary family, the Wuji Zhen family, and she had even been married to Yuan Xi.
Who would believe that there was any other reason for Liu Zhang to be interested in such a second-marriage status other than her extraordinary appearance?
Zhen Mi didn't want Liu Zhang to leave because she was afraid that Liu Zhang would never return.
Once you get it, throw it away ruthlessly.
Even Zhen Mi, who had been someone else's wife, did not dare to expect that she could legitimately join Liu Zhang's harem.
As for everything Liu Zhang said to her before, Zhen Mi couldn't help but regard it as Liu Zhang's joke to make her happy.
Such a huge gap made Zhen Mi dare not accept the title of sister Cai Yan.
Zhen Mi's helpless, panicked, and even uneasy look deeply touched Cai Yan's heart.
I can't help but think of the scene when Cai Yong picked her up and forcibly married Wei Zhongdao more than ten years ago!
At that time, Cai Yan also had the same look in Zhen Mi's eyes, which was even more miserable than hers.
"Sister Mi'er, as long as you have no objections, we will be good sisters from now on!"
Cai Yan's sincerity and warmth greatly moved Zhen Mi's heart, making her feel like she had gone back a few years ago, when her second brother Zhen Yan was still alive!
At that time, everything in the Zhen family was taken care of by the second brother Zhen Yan. Zhen Jiang was not under so much pressure and could still care for Zhen Mi like an elder sister.
Unfortunately, with Zhen Yan's death, Zhen Jiang could only give up family ties and continue to devote everything to the survival of the Zhen family.
"Cai...Sister Cai..."
Looking at Cai Yan in front of her, Zhen Mi felt like she saw Zhen Jiang a few years ago, making her feel warm, kind, peaceful and comfortable!
Thinking of the changes in the Zhen family and her own experiences since Zhen Yan's death, the grievances once again occupied Zhen Mi's heart.
Zhen Mi really wanted to hug Cai Yan in front of her, just like she hugged her sister Zhen Jiang.
It's a pity that Zhen Mi didn't dare. She could only lower her head and endure everything silently.
At this moment, Zhen Mi felt a pair of arms wrap around her, and then she was hugged tightly.
"Sister Mi'er, I will be your biological sister from now on."
For Cai Yan, Zhen Mi's experience was too similar to his original self.
However, Liu Zhang rescued him in advance. Zhen Mi had to go through several years of hardships before she was rescued by Liu Zhang.
Emotions cannot be deceived. Cai Yan has a delicate mind, and she did not see any coquettishness or evil charm in Zhen Mi's eyes.
At this moment, Cai Yan recognized Zhen Mi from the bottom of his heart.
"Sister Cai..."
After a long time, Zhen Mi mustered up the courage and hugged Cai Yan.
For Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, who is thin and thin, looks unusually tall at this time!
After a while, when Zhen Mi calmed down a little, Cai Yan slowly let go of her.
Cai Yan's purpose here is not simply to understand Zhen Mi, but also to explain everything that happened today based on his understanding of Zhen Mi.
"Sister Mi'er, Duke Qin has three wives, namely Liu Yun, me and Wu Ran."
"Liu Yun is the head wife and the late emperor's princess."
"But sister Yun'er doesn't have the airs of a princess at all. Although she is the head wife, she respects me very much."
"I believe we can all become good sisters in the future!"
Zhen Mi was willing to believe Cai Yan, but she thought of Liu Yun's anger that afternoon and the princess's identity.
It is inevitable that Zhen Mi will be afraid of her!
"Sister Cai, I...can I really do it?"
"Don't worry, sister Yun'er just has some misunderstandings about you. She is easy-going and has a cheerful personality! After the misunderstanding is resolved, she will definitely like you too!"
Cai Yan had to complain in his heart that there was really a big misunderstanding today!
If Liu Yun knew Zhen Mi's personality, such a conflict would definitely not occur.
Zhen Mi nodded. Although she was not reassured, she was willing to believe in Cai Yan in front of her.
Such a sincere and kind sister, Zhen Mi can feel the warmth of family affection all the time.
"I listen to Sister Cai!"
Seeing Zhen Mi listen to advice like this, Cai Yan fell in love with her even more.
"Sister Mi'er, it would be great if you could get down from the carriage and speak clearly in front of everyone today."
"In that case, sister Yun'er won't think that you are deliberately angry with her..."
Cai Yan made a point of seeing Liu Yun before coming here. As expected, he was still sulking and didn't even eat dinner.
Now Liu Yun was sure that Zhen Mi was favored by Liu Zhang and deliberately refused to get out of the car!
Zhen Mi felt aggrieved upon hearing this. She wanted to get out of the car to see Liu Yun, but the key was that she couldn't get off!
"Sister Cai, I..."
