The Stepmother is Unkind

A few days ago, Yin Mingyu bought three kites in the nearby county. It was windy today and it was suitable for kite flying.

Mrs. Xie didn't like to move very much, but Xie Ce coquettishly dragged her great-grandmother out with her. She could only surrender quickly and followed him out with a smile on her face.

Yin Mingyu often took Sanniang and Siniang to fly kites before. She didn't need the assistance of others, and she took a few steps to let the kites fly into the wind.

The child admired all the unknown things, and the kite had only risen above her head, and Xie Ce had already given the most enthusiastic cheers, and the atmosphere was full.

Yin Mingyu slightly pulled the kite string with his left hand to keep the kite from falling, and slowly released the string with his right hand.

"Mother!" Xie Ce raised his hand, "Think!"

Yin Mingyu handed it to him, picked up another kite and walked further, and repeated the previous action.

Xie Ce, a one or two-year-old child, can't fly a kite, and his strength is small. He can't catch the wind without much effort. In a few breaths, the kite starts to sway in the air.

He looked at Yin Mingyu anxiously, "Mother!"

Jin Er stayed by his side, immediately squatted down to help adjust, and stabilized the kite after a few strokes.

Xie Ce instantly forgot the anxiety just now, even though Jin'er held his hand to control the kite shaft, she was still excited.

After Yin Mingyu raised the second kite, in the heart of not favoring one over the other, he pulled the kite and retreated to the lamb's side. Instead of tying it to it, he put the handle of the kite shaft to its mouth, indicating that it was holding it.

The little lamb was eating grass well, and suddenly a stick was poked in its mouth, and it opened its mouth and bit it without any defense.

The moment it bit it, Yin Mingyu let go. At first, the kite was the same as when Xie Qin first took over.

Yin Mingyu watched with a smile on the side, it didn't matter if it fell.

A gust of wind blew over, and the kite swayed straight up, and the little lamb swishly followed the kite with its four legs upside down.

Yin Mingyu didn't expect that this silly thing would not let go, but went after his dream, hurried to catch up, and stretched out his hand to hold the kite string.

She took control of the kite, the little lamb screamed, and the kite shaft fell to the ground.

"What—"

Yin Mingyu squatted down and didn't think it was dirty, and pressed its mouth left and right to see if it was scratched.

"What—"

The little lamb didn't appreciate it, shook its head left and right, broke free from Yin Mingyu, spread its hooves and ran towards the kite lying on the ground.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

As expected of the sheep of the Right Prime Minister's family, it is unusual.

When Yin Mingyu stepped up and was about to rescue the innocent kite, he saw someone riding over from a distance, so he stopped again.

After a while, the horse stopped not far away, and the **** on the horse rolled over and dismounted, first went to meet Mrs. Xie, and then saluted Yin Mingyu.

Mrs. Xie asked him what was going on.

The guard said: "The youngest is under the order of Lord Lang, and came to greet the old lady and the young lady. In addition, Lord Lang said that there are some things in the East Court, and the young lady needs to make a decision."

The guard said, took out a letter from his chest and presented it to the young lady.

Dalang will write a letter to his wife?

Mrs. Xie was a little astonished in her eyes, and then glanced at the letter without a trace.

Yin Mingyu took the letter inexplicably and opened it in front of the old lady—

"Second mother, it's like seeing the letter.

Good day.

Yesterday, I went back to the East Court to search for a book, but after a while, Zhucao came by smelling the wind, and it was serving tea on the bright side. It is self-evident how he actually felt.

Thanks to the family style, I have never repaired the inner curtain and feared that the house would be ruined.

Erniang was in charge of the East Courtyard, so she discussed with Qing.

Looking forward to the book. "

Yin Mingyu understood the serious letter, but her expression was even more inexplicable.

With such an obvious level difference, Zhu Cao is really insignificant, and Yin Mingyu is too busy to spend a little more effort for her, and Zhu Cao's small actions can occasionally make Yin Mingyu smile.

If Xie Qin wanted to deal with Zhu Cao, he didn't need to discuss with her.

However, Zhu Cao's body contract is with her, and Xie Qin may be concerned about this matter.

Yin Mingyu closed the letter and said to the guard, "Go back and tell Langjun..."

Mrs. Xie was still a little curious, but when she saw her, she said angrily, "Between you husband and wife, what should you teach the guard to convey? Go back and write a reply!"

Obviously not necessary...

Moreover, Yin Mingyu raised his head, "Kite..."

Mrs. Xie: "..."

The hand holding the cane is hot.

Yin Mingyu was still thinking about the kite, but the old lady said it like this. She didn't want to push it again, so she said to the guard, "Go drink some water first, and I'll write a reply."

The guards thank you.

Yin Mingyu took Xie Qin's letter back to Zhuangzi, and instructed the maid to prepare some food for the guards. Then he sat down on the desk and spread out the paper. After Yin'er finished grinding the ink, he picked up the pen and replied word by word.

"Lang Jun, Zhan Xin'an.

Grandma, Xiao Langjun and I are all good.

The matter of Zhucao is based on the wishes of the Xie family and Langjun, and you can deal with it any way you want. "

Yin Mingyu put down the brush after writing the last stroke of the signature.

Yin'er glanced cautiously and asked, "Miss, is it shorter?"

Yin Mingyu didn't answer directly, picked up the paper and blew lightly, glanced at Xie Qin's letter boredly, paying special attention, "You said, Xie's family is clean and honest, since the harmony of husband and wife is the beginning of the family, the aunt who came out of the concubine How did your wife get here?"

"Ah?" Yin'er looked embarrassed and did not dare to speak, "I don't know this maid."

Yin Mingyu didn't really want to ask her the answer, he was talking to himself.

She was a little curious, but she didn't plan to get to the bottom of it.

How about the older generation, there is really no one else between the in-laws of the previous generation of the Xie family. In the eyes of the world, the Xie family is the best marriage.

Xie Qin's character, self-discipline and self-control alone, makes him stronger than most men in the world. In addition, he has a good family background, outstanding talents, broad-mindedness, and handsome appearance... Counting it down, he is simply worldly Rare man.

Some flaws may not be considered flaws at all in the eyes of the world.

But human beings are fairest under equal scrutiny, because a lot of people first put a very low standard for most men, so that when a good man appears, wow - it's amazing.

Xie Qin is good, Yin Mingyu admitted that he is also very happy to have such a partner when Youyou died, but in an unequal situation, that's all.

On the premise of protecting herself and not infringing on others, she can do whatever she likes. This is her freedom.

Yin Mingyu looked at the brief letter in his hand, paused for a while, then spread it out again, and wrote down: "It's just that it's not a big deal, so it might be lenient and a little dealt with."

When the letter paper was all dry, Yin Mingyu folded it and stuffed it into the envelope that Yin'er handed over. Of course, he answered her previous question: "Official affairs must be concise and clear at a glance."

Yin'er took the envelope and said excitedly, "Miss, shall we go back to fly the kite now?"

Yin Mingyu was sitting on the chair on the ground, "Wait a while, you can't go out too fast."

Yin'er thought for a while, then smiled: "What you said is that the eldest guard may not finish his cup of tea."

Yin Mingyu slowly finished drinking a cup of tea, and then went to the inner room to change clothes before stepping out the door happily.

Yin'er called the wax-sealed envelope to the guards, and also handed over the mountain goods that her master had bought from the common people these days to the guards, and brought them back to Beijing together.

His Majesty's decree has been issued, and the head of the Xie family has been promoted to the right minister. In the past few days, the father and son of the Xie family have both left early and returned late, and Mrs. Xie has been constantly inviting, so Yin Mingyu and the old lady have been hiding for leisure.

Another colleague invited a drink today, Xie Qin excused himself and returned to the house ahead of schedule.

The guard rushed back quickly, and the mountain goods that the young lady ordered had been given to Mrs. Xie, and the letter had also been presented to the study in the front yard, before Lang Jun's case.

Xie Qin went straight back to the study, tore off the wax seal, only a thin piece of paper, and without even opening it, he could see only a few words through the back.

The index finger stopped in the middle of the paper, and after a while, he picked up the letter and unfolded it.

Really few words, not many words.

Xie Qin looked at the letter and gradually stopped focusing on the content of the letter, only focusing on the three words "Yin Mingyu" in the inscription.

The words are like their people, and there is a sharp edge in the neatness.

The name was given by his parents, but in Yin Mingyu's writings, the "Yu" of the trees and plants seems to have a lush forest and Yuyu, and when you look at it, you can only detect the slightest bit, and you can't enter through it.

Xie Qin is not a person who is indulged in love, nor is he a curious person, but he still can't help but want to find out.

As for how to do it...

The gentleman said nothing, but Xie Qin's eyes returned to the letter, thoughtful.

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Qin reappeared in the East Courtyard and ordered Qingyu to summon Zhu Cao.

It was getting late, and the room was called... Qingyu's heart turned a lot, so she went to the corner courtyard to call Zhu Cao.

And Hongsi served tea for her husband, and she felt a little anxious when she thought of Mrs. Jishao who was far away in Zhuangzi.

Zhu Cao was imprisoned in the corner courtyard, and his heart was ashes, but when he saw Qingyu suddenly, and heard that Langjun had summoned him, he was madly surprised, and quickly got up and dressed up.

I don't know what to think of during the action, the eyebrows and eyes are more and more spring, and there are also some charming colors.

Qingyu waited by the side, seeing Zhu Cao like this, she felt a little disapproval in her heart, but because her future was unknown, she didn't show it.

The great sorrow turned to great joy, and Zhu Cao was even a little overwhelmed. After wearing new clothes, he walked up to Qingyu and said, "Let's go."

Qingyu bowed her head, made no sign, and led her out calmly.

In the main room, Xie Qin sat on the main seat of the main room and took a book of poems to read.

"Lang Jun, Zhucao is here." Qingyu Banban stood upright and reported.

Zhu Cao looked at Xie Qin with affection, and lightly opened her red lips: "Lang Jun~"

Hong Su gave her a tired look, and when she looked away, she saw Qingyu winking at her, and reluctantly retreated to Qingyu's side, ready to retire.

Xie Qin put down the book and said lightly, "You don't have to leave."

Qingyu and Hongsi were surprised and looked at each other.

They have served Lang Jun for many years, and at this time, listening to Lang Jun keeping them, they naturally didn't think about the absurdity, and realized that he had thought too much before, and if Lang Jun wanted to use Zhucao, he didn't have to wait until now.

But Zhu Cao's expression was stagnant, and when she quietly looked at the two people's looks far more than hers, she showed a bit of hostility.

Then, when Zhu Cao looked up at Xie Qin again, the affection in his expression became more explicit, "Lang Jun..."

Xie Qin looked at her indifferently, "The Xie family doesn't need restless maids, you can't stay in the Xie family anymore."

The great joy turned to great sorrow, Zhu Cao's eyes darkened in an instant, his body swayed, barely steady, his face was pale, and he hurriedly asked: "Langjun, the maid will never dare to be restless, please, please don't drive the maid. Walk."

Qingyu and Hongshu glanced at each other again, and they settled down completely, and Hongshu was even more in the mood to watch Zhucao's play.

"If you are at peace, you should stay in the corner courtyard, instead of appearing in front of me all the time."

Xie Qin didn't have the slightest sympathy for Xiangxiang and Yuyu, and the reason why I talked to her a few more words was just to have something in the letter, so he said to himself, "I sent a letter to the young lady early this morning. The young lady is kind and read. As long as you have never had a major offense, please advise me to deal with it leniently."

Zhu Cao grabbed the life-saving straw and said eagerly: "Lang Jun, the young lady is the sister of the eldest lady, and has always respected the eldest lady. I beg you, for the sake of the eldest lady, be gracious, the maid will surely serve the young lady in the future. lady…"

"You don't have to mention the eldest lady again." Xie Qin frowned coldly, "Why did the eldest lady decide to push you to be a concubine? If it wasn't for the mother who interrogated Xi Lan and knew that you dared not commit murder, you would have no place in Xie's family. ."

There are many Yin Sis in the inner house, and the Xie family is extremely taboo about this. When Mrs. Xie and Madam Xie were in charge of the family, they were extremely strict with the Yin Si. It was only because the Xie family taught other aristocratic families that it was peaceful.

Zhu Cao is not as stable as Xi Lan, loyal as Rouge, easy to control than Pomegranate, but she has the blue eyes of the eldest lady, which makes the eldest lady go her own way regardless of the age of the month.

In the end, she is the maid of the eldest lady. If you can't ask, it is not easy to impose charges. If she is safe, the Xie family doesn't mind raising a maid for nothing.

But she is clearly not a peaceful person, how can she teach people to believe that when the eldest lady was alive, she did not tell the truth in front of the unhappy eldest lady?

Xie Qin said coldly: "Two options: let you go and let you remarry; or go to Zhuangzi and be with Rouge."

He is very tolerant because of the face of the eldest lady and Yin Mingyu. If he has a clear mind, he should naturally know how to choose.

However, Zhu Cao's mood fluctuated greatly in the past two days, and it was already like the end of a force. She couldn't make a choice and was unwilling to make a choice.

"Langjun..." Zhu Cao knelt on the ground, crawled to Xie Qin, pear blossoms begged in the rain, "Langjun, the maid has nothing to ask for, I just want to serve Langjun, Langjun, please, don't rush the maid Walk…"

Xie Qin frowned and looked at the second maidservant of cyan jade and red silk.

Qing Yu and Hong Silk froze, and they hurriedly returned to their senses. They both stepped forward to stop her from approaching Lang Jun.

Zhu Cao struggled hard, still trying to get close to him.

Xie Qin looked cold and solemn, "If you don't know what's good or bad, go to Zhuangzi."

Zhu Cao stopped crying, and suddenly collapsed, "Langjun, this maid wants to serve you sincerely, but others are not sincere in treating you at all. Look at the maid, look at the maid..."

Xie Qin waved his hand slightly, motioning Qingyu and Hongsi to pull her down.

Zhu Cao was dragged further and further away. In desperation, a bit of madness suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he shouted: "Lang Jun! The second lady has long been in her heart! She has no Lang Jun in her heart at all!"

Both Qing Yu and Hong Silk shook, almost missing her.

And Xie Qin was cold all over, looking at her coldly: "You dare to insult the young lady, it seems that the Xie family is too tolerant towards you."

Zhu Cao dared to say it, knowing that there was no way back, and said regardless: "Before the eldest lady went, the second lady was discussing marriage with the nephew of her maiden's family, that is, Han Sanlang, who came to the house to ask Lang Jun for advice!"

Xie Qin's face was frosty, "Block her mouth."

Qing Yu and Hong Su hurriedly stretched out their hands, covering Zhu Cao's mouth with both hands.

"Uh-"

A stern look flashed in Xie Qin's eyes, "How about the young lady, you don't need to put your beak, keep your mouth shut, otherwise... I will teach you not to speak again."

Zhu Cao was shocked, tears of horror slid from the corners of her eyes, and she finally felt a bit of remorse.

Qingyu and Hongsi did not dare to let her offend Langjun any longer, they covered Zhucao's mouth tightly and dragged her back to Jiaoyuan. Staying with her, he returned to the main room in fear.

"Lang Jun..."

The two were about to kneel down to assure, Xie Qin said coldly, "Momo."

Qingyu hurriedly stopped kneeling, walked to the desk, raised her hand to brush ink.

"What should be said and what should not be said, I don't need to say more to you."

The two maids nodded quickly.

"Since it is related to the young lady, it is naturally based on what the young lady said. If anyone in the East Court dares to speculate on the young lady's character and disrespect the young lady, they will be severely punished."

The two maids nodded together again, reassuring.

Xie Qin's long fingers tapped the bookcase lightly, falling into contemplation.

Based on what happened today, it may be divided into two letters to send...
