Chapter 2688 The Way to Go Back

Yun Dai hasn't seen Ming Min for a long time.

Ming Min lived in the Hou Mansion, and at first he made trouble with her every day, asking for Taoist temples and wanting to move out.

She originally stayed because of the old Marquis, but after the old Marquis passed away, Yun Dai completely ignored her. She can move wherever she wants.

Unexpectedly, Mingmin did not move away.

After living there for so long, she seemed to be used to it.

Although I still can't get close to everyone in the Hou Mansion, I can still be considered peaceful.

Yun Dai thought that when she heard that the Taoist temple was built, she would be impatient to move there.

Unexpectedly, she came to her first, and mysteriously said that there was a big matter related to life, which must be discussed with her in private.

Yun Dai wanted to know what was causing trouble, so she asked everyone else to go out and talk to Ming Min alone.

"Tea, where's the tea?" Mingmin came in holding the hem of his large Taoist robe, grabbed a cup of tea on the table, and drank it down in one gulp.

Yun Dai said coldly: "That's my teacup."

"We, mother and daughter, see each other like this?"

"Who is your mother and daughter?"

"Ahem." Mingmin drank the tea, took a breath, looked around, and said with a red smile, "Little girl, I have some great news to tell you."

"What good news can you have?" Yun Dai found another teacup, sat in the recliner, and said slowly.

Mingmin didn't care about her attitude and said excitedly: "Do you know what I have been studying these years?"

"Medicine? Poison?"

"These are just idle things to do."

"It's not easy for you to get to this point by messing around." Yun Dai asked her, "When the Northern Qi royal family invited you to be a national advisor and gave you glory and wealth, why didn't you go?"

Ming Min was disdainful: "Do I care about glory and wealth? Those are just sugar-coated bullets that will corrode your will!"

Yun Dai smiled dryly: "As expected of being from that era."

Mingmin glanced at her: "I never expected that the great country created by our ancestors who sacrificed their lives and blood would produce descendants like you who pursue hedonism..."

"Don't lecture me. Times have changed, uncle." Yun Dai interrupted her, "What's the matter with you? Tell me quickly."

"What are you in a hurry for?"

"I'm very busy, okay." Yun Dai took a sip of tea, "I'm not you. I just chant sutras and do alms. I have nothing to do all day long..."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not a monk!"

"Taoist priests...don't they just make elixirs and use them as magic sticks?"

"I won't listen to your nonsense." Mingmin said sternly, "I tell you, I have been looking for and researching ways to go back these years."

"Really?" Yun Dai was a little surprised.

She really didn't expect this.

Mingmin asked her: "Don't you ever think about going back?"

Yun Dai thought for a while, "I thought about it and tried it at first, but then... I gave up. I can't go back anyway, so why waste my efforts."

The situation was quite miserable when she first arrived. If she didn't feel pity for Yan'er, she wouldn't have been able to persevere.

Mingmin said: "Why give up? In all these years, I have never given up."

"It's been almost thirty years since you came here, and you still haven't given up?"

"Of course not. Why give up? If we had given up on opening up new territories, how could you have had such a good life later..."

"Okay, okay, I know you have worked hard and accomplished a lot, but can you stop emphasizing this to me every time we meet?"

"You should remember the blood of your ancestors!"

"Will you tell me or not?"
