The Stepmother is Unkind

If you live your whole life according to the way of life of the Xie family, what fun is there in life?

Yin Mingyu thought to herself that when she was old, she must be more self-willed than Mrs. Xie, so there was no need to criticize Mrs. Xie.

But the matter of eating alone is quite serious, and children still know how to share, how can adults like them be inferior to children?

Yin Mingyu didn't accept that Changmao was going to persuade, but only instructed: "I will use my dinner in the old lady's courtyard, so I don't need to prepare it for me."

Afterwards, she taught people to carry them to pick peaches and step into Madam Xie's yard.

Xie Ce has been walking a lot these days, running more steadily than before, much faster than before, and speaking more diligently than before.

He held the pine nuts and ran to Mrs. Xie's house first, threw herself directly into Mrs. Xie's arms, and offered her treasures.

Madam Xie hugged him lovingly, looked at him carefully, and saw that his clothes were wrinkled and dirty, but there was no grievance on his face, so she turned to the thing in his hand.

"what is this?"

Xie Ce sent it in front of Mrs. Xie, "Pine nuts, rat~rat send."

What he said was vague, and the foreword did not match the last words. Mrs. Xie looked up at Nanny Tong and asked with her eyes.

Nanny Tong explained with a smile: "Old lady, you don't know, our little gentleman is very smart. The young lady took the pine nuts to feed the squirrel, and Xiaolangjun also fed it. On the way back, the squirrel was given to Xiaolangjun alone. In return, these two pine nuts."

When Madam Xie heard this, she hugged her great-grandson and said happily, "This is a manifestation, and we have great luck with Ce'er."

Xie Ce didn't understand, but he knew that the great-grandmother had good words and asked, "Mother?"

Mrs. Xie smiled and said silently, "Your mother hates fish and mice, it's better for us to be lucky."

Yin Mingyu came in, just when he heard this sentence, his footsteps stopped, showing grievance, "Grandma..."

Mrs. Xie felt uncomfortable, "You talk when you talk, what kind of attitude is this? You don't have any refreshment at all."

Yin Mingyu persistently expressed, "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law knows that granddaughter-in-law has many shortcomings, you should teach grandson-in-law more..."

Mrs. Xie: "...you don't go back to your courtyard to rest, what are you doing here?"

Yin Mingyu seemed to finally remember the serious business, and beckoned to teach the maid to deliver the peaches, and said happily: "Grandma, these are newly picked peaches, and they are specially sent here to honor you."

Mrs. Xie nodded reservedly, "Well, if you're interested, just put it here and go back to rest early."

Yin Mingyu didn't leave and looked at Mrs. Xie expectantly, "Grandmother, grandson-in-law is eating alone in the courtyard, it's really lonely, I want to eat with you..."

The maid stood beside her with peaches, as if saying, look, I've already given you peaches. It's not an exaggeration to change your dinner, right?

In the past, the eldest lady was also like this, filial, and offered to stay by her side to serve the meal, and used it by the way; but it was Yin Mingyu's turn, why it was so weird, always taught people to think that it was a disadvantage to agree.

Mrs. Xie was extremely speechless, but she could not be like her when she met a cheeky person. She remained silent for a long time, so she could only reluctantly agree: "If you want to stay, just stay."

Yin Mingyu happily agreed, and then remembered something, and suddenly said to Xie Ce: "Xiao Langjun, didn't you pick the peaches yourself to honor your great-grandmother?"

Madam Xie was surprised and looked down at Xie Ce, "Ce'er even picked peaches for her grandmother? Are you tired?"

Xie Ce shook his head and looked back at his maid.

The maid immediately held two peaches and presented them respectfully to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie took the peaches with her own hands, and she was several times happier than when Xie Qin honored her peaches last time, and even cherished them and was reluctant to eat them.

As for the peaches given by Yin Mingyu, the comparison is the difference between pearls and fish eyes.

His grandsons were all lined up behind Xie Ce, so Yin Mingyu naturally didn't need to care, he sat down and waited for dinner.

Madam Xie raised her eyes and saw her appearance, she was a little angry, she was not willing to bear it, so she rushed before dinner time and said: "Since you want to stay with me for dinner, don't say anything wrong. I don't want to hear it."

Yin Mingyu smiled innocently, "Grandmother, grandson-in-law doesn't dare to offend you."

Old Mrs. Xie was dubious. When it was time for dinner, she taught people to carefully store Xie Ce's two pine nuts, and then led Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce to sit at the table.

The maid served the food, and it really had a strong taste. There were several kinds of meat and fishy dishes, and the appetite was strong just by looking at it.

Yin Mingyu didn't have to stand to serve the cloth dishes, but she was very attentive today, she personally took the tenderest piece of the crispy chicken for Mrs. Xie, and put it respectfully in the empty plate in front of Mrs. Xie.

Then I took a few chopsticks to stir-fry the mutton, and put it on Mrs. Xie's plate together, taking care not to get on the crispy chicken, so as not to get smelly.

Mrs. Xie saw that she was not like the son and daughter-in-law of the mansion, and persuaded her to eat more vegetarian food and less meat, she was satisfied, and she had no resistance to Yin Mingyu staying here for dinner.

And Xie Ce saw that his stepmother was serving food to his great-grandmother and wanted it too.

Before Yin Mingyu put down the public chopsticks, he picked up a chopstick of vegetables and put it in his bowl.

Xie Ce looked at the meat in his great-grandmother's bowl, and then looked at the vegetables in his own bowl, pouted slightly, picked up a spoon and scooped it in the bowl for a while, and finally picked up the vegetables and probed hard towards the old lady.

Madam Xie was even more surprised, she hurriedly picked up the bowl herself, took it over, and praised, "Cer has really grown up!"

Xie Ce had a big smile on his face, and lay down on the table again. He picked up the spoon and scooped the vegetables into the plate, and then scooped it into Mrs. Xie's bowl, "Great-grandmother, eat."

"Okay, okay..." Mrs. Xie picked it up, "Great-grandmother eats it."

It's actually a bit unethical for him to be like this, but Madam Xie was happy and condoned, so no one dared to say anything.

Yin Mingyu didn't care. Taking advantage of Xie Ce's continuous scooping of greens for Mrs. Xie, she urged Mrs. Xie to eat. He quickly took away the crispy chicken, and then turned his chopsticks to the stir-fried mutton.

She has a good appetite and eats a little more than the usual lady. In addition, she has a lot of activities outside today, so she eats more.

The dishes on the Xie family's table were too delicate and excessive, Yin Mingyu elegantly and frequently took a few chopsticks, and the dishes were much empty.

When Mrs. Xie finally recovered from her great-grandson's ecstasy soup and was half full, she looked at the dishes on the table again, "..."

There are only three people on the table, who doesn't need to think about who.

Mrs. Xie even felt the nerve throbbing on the top of her head, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Miss Yin, are you full?"

Yin Mingyu raised his head and put down his chopsticks politely, before he answered embarrassedly: "Grandmother, grandson-in-law is really hungry and not full..."

"Not full yet?" Madam Xie said angrily, "I haven't eaten enough yet, what else do you want to eat?"

Yin Mingyu didn't understand her words like a mallet, and looked at Madam Xie's mutton pie in front of her, "Grandmother, can the pie be given to my grandson-in-law?"

Madam Xie was so angry that her chest heaved and she refused directly: "You can't eat too much, you can stop."

Yin Mingyu looked back with a little regret, and took a few chopsticks and vegetables slowly. He was full. When Mrs. Xie put down her chopsticks, she followed and said dignifiedly, "Grandmother, grandson-in-law is ready."

Then she rolled her eyes again and praised: "Grandmother, the same meal has the same taste, but the granddaughter-in-law only thinks that the food in your yard is a little better, it must be because your old man is kind and the granddaughter-in-law admires it. , that's why it is."

Immediately, Yin Mingyu said the main purpose: "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law also wants to come tomorrow."

Mrs. Xie: "..."

Yin Mingyu looked at her admiringly, "Grandma..."

Xie Ce chewed the food, looked left and right, and after swallowing the food, he followed her example and shouted eagerly, "Great-grandmother..."

Madam Xie couldn't take it anymore, she hugged her great-grandson, and gently wiped the corner of his mouth for him, compromising: "Okay, okay, can't the great-grandmother promise?"

After the meal, Yin Mingyu left the old lady Xie's yard briskly, and taught Yin'er to go to the dining room to order some of her favorite dishes, which will be brought to the old lady's yard tomorrow.

After that, if Yin Mingyu ate at Zhuangzi, all meals would be served in the main courtyard. After two days of eating, Madam Xie looked at her and asked the kitchen to make a vegetarian banquet.

Yin Mingyu is still unambiguous, and eats very deliciously, but taught the old lady to punch the cotton, which is very suffocating.

And Yin Mingyu has been visiting Taolin since that day, and he has started to play nearby, but only in the prosperous or no-man's land.

During this period, she did not send a single letter to Xie Qin.

And every day when Xie Qin returned to the mansion, he would ask: "Young Madam, can you send a letter back?"

The answer is always "no".

Sechin is...not surprised.

He thought that as a man, he should take the initiative and send a letter first, but he had never sent a letter to a woman except when he returned to his hometown to take the exam and sent a letter to his grandmother and mother. , I really don't know how to start.

On this day, when he returned from outside, he had already seen night, and after a change of mind, he walked to the East Courtyard.

The maids of the East Court never thought that he would come suddenly, and after a moment of shock, they returned to normal and came to serve him.

Xie Qin waved his hand and only taught Qingyu to light the lamp in the study for him, walked to Yin Mingyu's bookshelf, pulled out her poetry collection, and planned to sit down and read for a while.

Originally, the red silk went to pour tea for Lang Jun, but before the red silk arrived, Zhu Cao knocked on the door of the main room first.

Qingyu frowned when she saw her after opening the door.

However, before Qing Yu's refusal was spoken, Zhu Cao took the lead and said softly but clearly, "Lang Jun, this maid is here to serve you tea."

Xie Qin was still immersed in the poetry collection, and said indifferently: "Qingyu, teach her to go back, and close the door of Jiaoyuan."

Zhu Cao's face was pale in an instant, and he wanted to soften his lower body and plead for mercy.

Qingyu held her arm, no longer polite, and said directly: "Please come back, don't make Langjun angry."

The red silk came over with the tea, and when she saw this scene, Mei Mu glared, handed the tea to Qingyu, stretched out her hand and grabbed the red grass, and summoned the maid, and took her back to the corner courtyard.

When Xi Lan and Shiliu heard the movement, they all hid, pretending they didn't hear it.

Lang Jun has always been merciless, and tolerated Zhu Cao and even these dowry maids for the sake of the deceased eldest lady. Zhu Cao is still so bold, and Pomegranate does not dare to show any sympathy and pity now. I wish they had nothing to do with it.

Xie Qinben was a little unhappy, and when his eyes fell back to the poetry collection, he suddenly remembered that he had a reason to write a letter, and immediately asked Qingyu to grind it for him.

He only thought for a moment, then wrote a letter with reason and evidence, and when it was dry in the shade, he stuffed it into the envelope with his own hands, and ordered someone to send it to Zhuangzi the next morning.
