The Stepmother is Unkind

Yin Mingyu didn't break the jar. She took Xie Ce to a place far away from Nanny Tong and the others, and "conspiracy" with Xie Ce before appearing dignifiedly in Mrs. Xie's yard and returning Xie Ce to her intact. Thank you Mrs.

Mrs. Xie had a dark face, and when she saw her, she asked, "Miss Yin, do you think I'm stupid?"

Yin Mingyu looked terrified, "Grandmother, I definitely don't dare to have this intention."

"you…"

Mrs. Xie was about to speak again, and Xie Ce called out to her great-grandmother.

He hardly spoke so loudly, so Madam Xie's attention immediately turned to Xie Ce.

Xie Ce ran to Madam Xie, opened her arms in advance, ran to Madam Xie and hugged Madam Xie's leg, "Great-grandmother!"

"Hey!" Madam Xie hurriedly bent over to hug him and said with a smile, "Is Ce'er missing her grandmother?"

Old Madam Xie was too old to bend over to hug Xie Ce, so Nanny Tong came forward, picked him up and put him in the arms of Old Madam.

"Ce'er, how about going out to play today?"

Xie Ce hugged Mrs. Xie's neck tightly and replied softly, "Okay."

Madam Xie patted his head lovingly, hugged him and smiled happily, completely ignoring Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu lowered his head, a smile flashed in his eyes, and then sat upright on the chair.

She has always been like this, often teaching people to ignore her. After Mrs. Xie and her great-grandson had finished kissing each other, she looked up and saw Yin Mingyu still there.

Xie Ce put his arms around Mrs. Xie's neck again, and suddenly couldn't remember what to do, so he turned to look at Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

Silly boy, what am I doing?

Yin Mingyu didn't look at him, as if it had nothing to do with him.

Xie Cexiao didn't know how to keep secrets. Seeing that she ignored him, he asked directly, "Mother?"

Mrs. Xie paid the most attention to her great-grandson, and when she noticed his abnormality, she guessed that there was some "act" between the two of them, and she was hiding it from her.

Mrs. Xie was jealous, but she didn't want to admit it, and taught her a lesson: "You are the elder Ce'er. In the future, the strategy will be more solemn, and don't lose the dignity of the elders."

"Yes, grandmother." Yin Mingyu listened obediently.

"today…"

Xie Ce suddenly remembered what to do, and hugged Old Madam Xie's neck tightly, twisting her body like a twist.

Again and again, again and again, and three times.

Mrs. Xie couldn't bear to live like the great-grandson of her baby, and said with her mouth closed, "Okay, okay, you child, why are you so tired today?"

She was obviously very useful, the corners of her mouth could not be controlled at all, and she had to resist the scolding: "Yin Shi, look at the mess you brought Ce'er with you."

After speaking, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he hugged Xie Ce tightly.

Anyone with eyes in the room could see the good mood of the old lady, and everyone laughed along with it, and the atmosphere was happy.

Yin Mingyu determined that Mrs. Xie had been breached, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea to cover the smile on the corner of her mouth.

When Mrs. Xie finally recovered her thoughts from Xie Ce's ecstasy, she couldn't hold a cold face to Yin Mingyu, and asked in a normal tone: "I heard that you played Cuju with the county master of Weiyang today?"

Yin Mingyu nodded and blamed himself: "I saw that my mother's sister was bullied, and she was impulsive. Maybe she caused trouble for the government..."

No matter how old Mrs. Xie looked down on Yin Mingyu, she would not blame her for everything, and said fairly: "The Weiyang county master is targeting you and the two girls of the Yin family. In the end, it's because of the Xie family, not you , after returning to Beijing, I will teach people to send them something to shock them."

Yin Mingyu lowered his eyes and thanked after a moment: "I thanked my grandmother on behalf of Sanniang and Siniang."

Madam Xie waved her hand and asked casually, "What do they both like?"

Yin Mingyu paused for a while and asked tentatively, "Why don't you just send some money?"

Mrs. Xie held her chest in one breath, and slowly came over and scolded: "How can you give gifts like this? You...you..."

She pointed at Yin Mingyu a few times, but didn't say the mean words.

Yin Mingyu said on her behalf, "Don't blame grandmother, my wooden fish head, I just want to use the money directly. I can use it as they like. I don't think about it carefully. Before I speak in the future, I will definitely think twice."

She taught her everything, but Madam Xie had no choice but to say, "I still think you are as courageous as you are today, and I am a little impressed. It is not an idea or a weapon."

Yin Mingyu smiled habitually.

Mrs. Xie had never seen her energy when she was making waves outside, but Nanny Tong and others had witnessed it with their own eyes. When they saw Mrs. Jishao like this, they all lowered their heads deeply, not daring to show anything.

Mrs. Xie asked Yin Mingyu if she wanted to go out later.

Yin Mingyu shook his head tiredly and said, "I'm a little tired today, so I don't plan to go out, and I don't want to go out tomorrow. I want to invite Sanniang and Si Niang to Xiejiazhuangzi to play."

In fact, not only tomorrow, but the next two days, she doesn't want to go to the hunting ground.

Although before His Majesty intervened today, she had a serious comparison with the Weiyang County Master and the others, and it was a good time, but the hunting ground was full of people and she was too lazy to deal with it. Lying down, going around Zhuangzi after lying down, how comfortable it is.

It's a pity that she doesn't plan to go out, others will take the initiative to come to the door.

Just as Mrs. Xie told her to go back to rest, the concierge came to report that it was the seventh lady of the Jiang family who came to visit.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

She could only sit back again.

Mrs. Xie was a little happy about the arrival of her grandchildren, but she was also very calm, and she directly asked someone to invite her in.

After a while, Jiang Qi Niang Jiang He walked in and greeted Mrs. Xie cheerfully.

Mrs. Xie looked a little more kind than Cai Cai before, and asked her a few questions. When she learned that she was here to play with Yin Mingyu, she immediately sent: "Then I won't force you to stay here. Sister-in-law, go to her courtyard."

Jiang He glanced at Yin Mingyu's expression, and when she saw her nodding, the smile on her face bloomed.

Yin Mingyu got up to say goodbye to the old lady and led Jiang He out.

Mrs. Xie's attitude is not enthusiastic enough, but Mrs. Xie and Xie Qin are too serious when they talk about the Jiang family, and they can't explore without what she wants to hear.

"Cousin-in-law..."

Yin Mingyu turned her head slightly, seeing her no-unfamiliar apologetic expression, she was a little speechless, "What's the matter, go to my courtyard and talk about it."

Jiang He stopped and followed her step by step.

After a while, Yin Mingyu asked her to take a seat, and then asked Yin'er to arrange for someone to make tea and get some snacks to entertain the guests.

After Yin'er went out, Yin Mingyu looked at Jiang He and said straight to the point, "What's the matter? Let's talk."

Jiang He bit his lip and apologized: "When I was kicking Cuju earlier, I... I was impulsive and wanted to be left, so I apologized to my cousin."

Apologised again, and she apologized really quickly.

For the sake of her own comfort, Yin Mingyu often needs to cover up one or two things, but Jiang He is obviously not within the scope of what she needs to do, and her instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Yin Mingyu is stronger and more critical than others. Jiang He like this Temperament is really troublesome for her.

So Yin Mingyu asked bluntly, "Why did you apologize to me?"

"I originally stepped in and made trouble for my cousin... I actually regretted it after acting impulsively. I wanted to ask my cousin to apologize when I ended up. It's just..." Jiang He lowered his head in shame.

It is also a skill that someone can be so sincere every time.

Yin Mingyu looked at her calmly and said, "You are still young, so you shouldn't be harsh, and I'm not qualified to judge you, but since you came to me, you might as well make it clear."

Jiang He looked up at her and said sincerely, "Cousin-in-law, just say it, and I'll accept it all."

"What happened on the Cuju field is obvious to all. As the daughter of Yin's family, as the sister of Sanniang and Siniang, and as the wife of Xie's family, I can't teach people to think that the Yin family's daughter, that my sister can be despised at will, that The daughter-in-law of the Xie family is a coward and can be bullied."

There are often people who bully the soft and fear the hard. Yin Mingyu is not easy to provoke, and if someone confronts her in the future, it is natural to weigh it.

"I can't do anything about today's matter, but what I did is inappropriate. I have the Xie family and Yin family to take care of it for me. How about you?"

Jiang He clenched his skirt slightly and murmured, "I...I..."

Yin'er brought two maids in with tea, and seeing that the atmosphere in the house was a little serious, she asked Jin'er.

Jin'er looked at the nose and nose at the heart, but did not respond.

Yin'er couldn't, so she had to wave back the maid and stood beside Jin'er and listened.

Yin Mingyu took a sip of tea and said calmly: "I don't care if you say you're 'cross-legged', even if someone else says you're 'motivated', I also have to say 'Jiang Qiniang is so loyal', I will always treat you Fame doesn't get in the way."

Jiang He hurriedly waved his hand, "Cousin-in-law, I have absolutely no intention of that."

"It's okay, as long as you don't have bad intentions, don't interfere with others, and get some favorable results, there's nothing wrong with it. But..." Yin Mingyu's eyes turned a little colder, "what about you? What are you going to do in the disputes of Weiyang County Master? Who is half good for what you are going to do?"

Yin Mingyu looked at her coldly, and asked and answered, "It's still good for people, believe it or not, if you really hurt Liu Erniang in the public eye, it would make people pity the weak and powerless, and you will have a mean reputation. spread."

Jiang He's face turned pale, and he finally showed some fear.

Yin Mingyu continued: "If the Liu family pursues it, the Jiang family will apologize to the Liu family for you. Or, in order to explain, you complain with great fanfare. They regretted their marriage first, and you are a poor lady who is hated by others..."

Jiang He clenched his fists and shook his head again and again, "No, you can't make a lot of noise..."

She is the direct daughter of the Jiang family, how can she be willing to be gossip and become the laughing stock of others after dinner.

Yin Mingyu expected that the Jiang family would not be willing to speak up about this, so Mrs. Jiang would be so angry at that time.

As for Jiang He...Is it difficult to calm down or what, it is really mother and daughter with Mrs. Jiang.

Yin Mingyu put down the teacup and said, "On the Cuju arena, I originally reserved room and planned to find an opportunity to teach some lessons, but I couldn't trust you, so I made a quick decision."

Jiang He felt extremely guilty, and apologized again, "Cousin-in-law, I'm sorry..."

"I'm responsible, I don't blame you."

Yin Mingyu actually had a good impression of Jiang He before, so she accepted Jiang He's "step in", but if she rejected Jiang He at that time, she would let Sanniang and Siniang, who had a tacit understanding, play, and there would never be any surprise.

Yin Mingyu is an egoistic person. She does not deny that she likes those beautiful little ladies, but what she likes is not troublesome and pleasant little ladies.

There are thousands of beautiful little ladies in the world, even if Jiang He is not bad by nature, and the way is different, she does not need to force herself to have a deep relationship with each one.

Therefore, Yin Mingyu said directly, "As I said before, you are still young, so you don't need to be too harsh. However, I did save you trouble. You can respect me in the future."

Jiang He understood her estrangement, his eyes reddened, but he was ashamed to open his mouth, like sitting on pins and needles, and left in a hurry.

Jin'er sent Mrs. Jiang Qi Niang away, Yin'er stayed behind to press the shoulders of her own wife, and asked curiously, "Miss, if Jiang Qi Niang kicked Mrs. Liu Er, would it be as serious as you said?"

Yin Mingyu raised his hand and tapped the other shoulder.

Yin'er hurriedly moved over and pressed it diligently.

Yin Mingyu leaned comfortably on the chair and said lightly, "It depends on the value, I guess it will."

Yin'er was surprised, and asked while pressing: "Is Lady Liu so valued in her parents' family?"

"Didn't you listen to what Jiang Qiniang said that day? She is on good terms with Princess Weiyang, and Princess Cheng also likes her." Yin Mingyu was a little sleepy, and her voice became more and more lazy, "Don't you say it's interesting, everyone else knows that Princess Cheng likes her. Concubine, what about Liu Sanniang, the step-wife's direct daughter?"

Yin'er's eyes lit up and she was very excited, "It seems that the Liu family must be very lively. The maid will teach people to inquire?"

Xie Qin stepped into the door and happened to hear Yin'er's sentence and asked, "What are you inquiring about?"

Yin'er immediately stood upright and saluted properly.

Yin Mingyu opened his eyes slightly, but didn't get up, and said casually, "I want to find out what's new in Beijing, it'll help relieve the boredom."

After she finished speaking, she tapped her shoulder again, motioning for Yin'er to continue pressing.

Yin'er returned to her back, extremely quiet.

Then Jin Er came in with tea and presented it to Xie Qin respectfully, hesitating for a moment between leaving and staying, and chose to withdraw.

Yin'er watched her go like this, full of accusations, why she was left here alone.

Yin Mingyu was very comfortable lying there, and didn't mean to chat with people.

Xie Qin played with the teacup and was silent for a long time. He took the initiative to raise the topic and said, "When I came here, my grandmother said that she wanted to take Ce'er to stay in this village for a while..."

Yin Mingyu sat up straight and looked at him with burning eyes: "Really?"

When Xie Qin saw her like this, he immediately understood her intentions, and rarely felt a little annoyed at himself.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yin Mingyu wanted to choke him for a few words, but when she thought that this was the one who took advantage of her in the second half of her life, she became a little more patient and asked, "Is your grandmother set?"

Xie Qin paused, then nodded.

The corners of Yin Mingyu's mouth rose instantly, and he said in a grand manner: "Grandmother and Ce'er are both old and young, and they must be taken care of. It's better for me to stay in Zhuangzi and go back to Beijing with them."

Xie Qin: "…"

Yin Mingyu looked at Xie Qin expectantly, and in order to get an accurate answer as soon as possible, he got up and walked behind Xie Qin, massaged lightly on his shoulder, and said while pressing: "Grandma is definitely not happy for me to stay, Lang Jun, please help Shall I tell my grandmother?"

Did you also know that grandma wasn't happy?

Xie Qin sighed and said, "There is also Zhuangzi of the Xie family not far from the capital. If you like it, you can stay there for a while."

Yin Mingyu put his elbows on his shoulders and insisted: "Zhuangzi outside the capital can go at any time, it's not convenient to go back and forth here."

"If I don't speak for you, how will you be?"

Yin Mingyu immediately took his hand away, "If Langjun helps me, I will save the trouble. If Langjun doesn't help me, I can think of other ways."

Turning her face ruthlessly, it was her who said it.

Xie Qin believed that when she said it, she would try her best to do it, and in the end she nodded.

Yin Mingyu smiled, and asked him if he had a map near Longyu Mountain, as if he just said that there are no people who want to take care of the elderly grandmother and young children.

Since she has done it, she has to do it enough, even though Xie Qin was helpless, she still replied, "I will bring it over tomorrow."

Yin Mingyu was even more cheerful. When he went to the main courtyard for dinner in the evening, his eyebrows were also curved, and he couldn't hide his good mood.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie looked at her suspiciously, not knowing why.

Under the table, Yin Mingyu kicked Xie Qin's boots.

Xie Qin put down his chopsticks and said seriously to Mrs. Xie: "Grandmother, only you and Ce'er stay here, grandson is not at ease, teach Erniang to stay and take care of it."

Mrs. Xie refused, "What can she take care of me? I have an old lady to take care of her and Ce'er and teach her to go back."

Yin Mingyu showed a somewhat aggrieved look on his face, and continued to kick Xie Qin under the table.

Xie Qin looked serious, gave Yin Mingyu a warning look, then turned to the old lady, "Grandma..."

Seeing her grandson's cold face, Mrs. Xie was also embarrassed, and turned to her son and daughter-in-law, "I don't need Yin's to look after him."

In fact, Mrs. Xie was not very relieved that the old lady would stay with Xie Ce alone in Zhuangzi, and she also somewhat agreed with Xie Qin's proposal, but she didn't want to make the old lady unhappy, so she looked at the head of the Xie family.

The head of the Xie family said to the old lady, "Mother, let Yin's stay."

Yin Mingyu immediately expressed his intentions, "Grandma, don't worry, I will never trouble you."

Then he turned to the head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie, and assured: "Father, mother, I will take good care of my grandmother and Ce'er."

Xie Patriarch gave a low "um", which means trusting her.

Mrs. Xie said a few more words, and before it was finished, she asked Yin Mingyu to go to her yard tomorrow and explain it in detail.

Yin Mingyu agreed.

After the meal, Xie Qin told her that he was going to the palace, and Yin Mingyu smiled and told him to "be careful on the road".

Xie Qin turned and left indifferently.

The next day, Yin Mingyu got up refreshed, and seeing that Sanniang and Si Niang hadn't come yet, he took Jin'er and Yin'er to Madam Xie's yard.

Seeing her coming so early, Mrs. Xie was slightly startled, and then said, "You sit down first, I'll see some Zhuangzi's stewards later."

Qiu Hunting has no time to spare, he needs to communicate, and he has to see the steward...

Yin Mingyu saw Mrs. Xie turning over the account books there, and suddenly thought that her mother-in-law came here in person, shouldn't it be for these?

But Mrs. Xie had no time to be distracted, so she was served refreshments, and she focused on reading the ledger until the stewards arrived.

She first introduced Yin Mingyu to the stewards, and after they greeted Yin Mingyu respectfully, she began to ask about Zhuangzi, she would deal with the mistakes in the account books, and Zhuangzi would also praise and reward if he received a good profit.

Just like what she said to Yin Mingyu before, both kindness and grace are given.

Yin Mingyu was still eating snacks before, and the more she listened, the more serious she became. Mrs. Xie did have a lot of things she could learn from.

Jin'er and Yin'er listened carefully behind her, and when they left, the master and servant all had something to gain.

Back in their own yard, Yin'er sighed: "My maid originally thought you were the most powerful, but looking at Madam now, it looks like you have three heads and six arms."

Yin Mingyu recognized her remarks, but, "My mother has three heads and six arms, but I have the right arm."

When Jin'er and Yin'er heard this, their faces burst into laughter.

However, Yin Mingyu deliberately teased them: "Fortunately there are sapphire and red silk..."

Both Jin'er and Yin'er are petty, "Miss!"

"Hahahaha..." Yin Mingyu said slowly after laughing, "Look at you impatient people, I haven't finished speaking yet."

Jin'er and Yin'er stared at her closely, only to listen to their wife's good words.

Yin Mingyu said with a smile: "With sapphire and red silk and red sleeves to add fragrance, and with your two right-hand men helping me share the burden, I will be better than living gods in the days to come."

After she finished speaking, she tapped the tip of the nose of the two maids, "Vinegar jar~"

The two maids did not refute, and they smiled again after a while.

After Sanniang and Siniang came, Yin Mingyu took them to greet the old lady and Mrs. Xie, and then entertained the two of them in her own yard.

Mrs. Xie was busy. Mrs. Xie had great-grandchildren and she could do everything. No one cared about them. Yin Mingyu also led the two younger sisters to the outside of Zhuangzi, and went to pick ducks together.

In their eyes, the ducks that were thumping and diving in the creek were not ordinary ducks, but ducks with firm meat and well-proportioned fat and thinness.

Yin Mingyu waved his hand and let the two of them choose. Yin Mingrui and Yin Mingruo pointed at the ducks and finally chose one.

There was nothing to do, so they watched the servants chase the ducks and catch the ducks on the road again. After a while, Nanny Tong came to watch with them with Xie Ce in her arms.

Xie Ce was very happy as soon as he saw the duck plopping into the water, and accompanied by laughter, his little hands clapped.

Yin Mingrui looked at him cute, pointed to the ducks in the creek and asked him, "Xiao Langjun, do you know what is swimming in the creek?"

Xie Ce replied crisply: "Roast duck!"

Yin Mingrui was stunned, "What?"

Xie Ce replied again as a matter of course: "Roast duck!"

Yin Mingyu suddenly laughed and agreed, "Yes, it's roast duck."

Xie Ce looked at the duck with eagerness.
