The Stepmother is Unkind - Chapter 67

When Yin Mingyu’s bleeding stopped and he packed himself up, Xie Qin still invited a doctor.

The doctor re-certified that she was prone to getting angry, gave her a decoction to reduce the fire, and emphasized the appropriate time to soak in the hot spring.

During the period, Xie Qin’s faction stood by the side with gentleness, and there was no lack of concern about asking the doctor about everything.

Only Yin Mingyu looked at Xie Qin with a sharp edge.

She also didn’t understand why Xie Qin, who was so cold at first sight and calm and upright when getting along with him, would always teach her to be speechless.

Pointing incense is very elegant, and playing the qin in white is also very pleasing to the eyes, but next time, let’s change the taste, she can’t bear it.

After the doctor left, Yin Mingyu occupied the outside of the bed by himself, pulled the clean quilt over him, and expressed his determination with actions.

Xie Qin approached the bed and found a little space on her waist to sit down.

Yin Mingyu was still recovering and ignored him.

Xie Qin raised his hand and stopped on her head for a moment, before patting her head lightly and saying, “It’s good to drink medicine.”

Then, Xie Qin got up and walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as the cold air soaked through his body, Xie Qin couldn’t help laughing, and then went to Xie Ce’s place according to Yin Mingyu’s instructions.

Nanny Tong and other maids were already surprised when they saw him, and when they learned that he was going to bed with Xiao Langjun, they looked at each other and didn’t know how to react.

Xie Qin was very calm, undressed and lay on the bed.

Nanny Tong did not dare to stay in the house any longer, so she quietly withdrew and reported to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie had heard that they had hired a doctor in their yard, and invited people to ask them in detail. She heard that Yin Mingyu just soaked in the hot spring for too long and got angry and got nosebleed, but Xie Qin came to live with Xie Ce again…

Mrs. Xie: “…”

Xie Qin’s temperament should not be so absurd.

But Mrs. Xie still told people to do business as usual and not to make a fuss.

In Xie Ce’s room, Xie Ce, who was sleeping, felt the heat source, and his body involuntarily approached until it was tightly attached to his father’s body.

Xie Qin sleeps upright, and Xie Ce is also a small one. Father and son are leaning against each other, which is quite harmonious.

In the middle of the night, Xie Cejiao woke up from nocturnal urination, turned over and got up, and found that there were more people around him, so he sat dumbfounded and looked at his father.

Xie Qin opened his eyes and asked lazily, “What’s the matter?”

It was only then that Xie Ce remembered to let go, calling for the nanny.

Xie Qin knew that he was here, and Nanny Tong didn’t dare to stay by Xie Ce’s side, so she got up and hugged Xie Ce to relieve her.

Inside the screen, Xie Ce tensed and pursed his lips.

Xie Qin frowned slightly, put him down, and said, “I’ll wait for you outside the screen, call me when you’re ready.”

After he finished speaking, he left Xie Ce with a child inside. After a while, he heard the voice start and stop, and walked in without waiting for Xie Ce to call.

Xie Ce grabbed his trousers with his little hands and bowed his head deeply, not daring to look at him.

Xie Qin only glanced at his trousers and said nothing. He picked up the child and brought him back to the bed, ripped off his trousers, and tucked him into the quilt.

Xie Ce wrapped the quilt, watched his father walk away for a moment, then came back to lie beside him, blinked, and asked, “Mother?”

Xie Qin covered his eyes with his backhand and said lightly, “Sleep.”

Xie Ce wanted to move, but he didn’t dare to move. His little hands moved up and down the quilt, fiddling carefully. After fiddling for a while, there was no movement.

The next day, when Xie Ce woke up again, he was alone on the bed, and the child looked around blankly, not sure if his father had really come.

When he just woke up, he was in this state, so Nanny Tong and the others didn’t think much about it.

When it was time for breakfast, Yin Mingyu came to use it with Mrs. Xie.

As soon as Xie Ce saw her, he was about to pounce, but he hesitated when he saw her dress.

During the troubled times, women would wear simple men’s clothes for convenience. Now in the new dynasty, it has become a fashion for women in Daye to wear men’s clothes when going out, especially at temple fairs or lantern fairs, where you can often see little ladies in men’s clothes.

In order to meet the occasion, Yin Mingyu is also wearing azurite men’s clothing today, with a white fox fur cloak. She is tall among women, and she walked in with her head held high, which was a bit more refreshing than when she was wearing a skirt.

Yin Mingyu also held a folding fan in his hand. Seeing Xie Ce, he unfolded it and said with a smile, “What? Xiaolang-jun doesn’t recognize me?”

When Xie Ce heard her voice, he rushed over with confidence, pointed in the direction of his own house, and said, “Mother! Father, sleep…”

Yin Mingyu understood his words, and his smile remained the same, “Xiao Langjun, are you happy that your father sleeps with you?”

Xie Ce’s eyes lit up and he was a little shy, but his expression was indeed joyful.

No matter how afraid of his father, he still admires his father.

Yin Mingyu touched his head and seemed to have no selfishness at all, and said with a motherly face: “These days, your father will always sleep with you.”

When Mrs. Xie heard it, she wanted to say something, but when she saw her great-grandson’s expression, she stopped.

Xie Ce was a little greedy, and hugged her leg again, and said expectantly, “Mother, together?”

Yin Mingyu smiled without saying a word. After the meal, he asked the maid to bring her soup and medicine, dipped his chopsticks a little, and seduced: “I drink it every day, Xiao Langjun might as well try it, and then decide whether to sleep together?”

Xie Ce licked tentatively, his tongue touched the chopsticks, and the moment he tasted the taste, his face was distorted, and he quickly shook his head.

Yin Mingyu pretended to be sad, “I thought Xiao Langjun wanted to share weal and woe with me…” Then he picked up his chopsticks and wanted him to taste it again.

Xie Ce only heard the word “bitter”, and his face was already bitter. He was afraid that she would really let him taste it. How fast he rushed over and how fast he let go, he turned and ran back behind Mrs. Xie.

Yin Mingyu raised her head, met Madam Xie’s staring eyes, put down her chopsticks regretfully, and drank the gunpowder in one gulp.

At this time, my aunt and Bai Zhixu both walked in wearing men’s clothes.

The two of them are similar in size, both are very petite, and with their excellent looks, you can tell at a glance that they are women.

But the two of them didn’t care, and walked in briskly. The auntie first followed the man to Mrs. Xie, and Bai Zhixu then saluted like the auntie.

Madam Xie waved her hand and brought Xie Ce into the house, not teaching him to see them go out.

The three of them went out together. Seeing Yin Mingyu leading the sheep, Mrs-in-law couldn’t help but say, “My niece, can you possibly teach the sheep to have Buddha-nature?”

Yin Mingyu grabbed his stubborn sheep that was on the edge of the whole sheep feast at any time, and said with a smile, “Like Aunt Ji’s words, if it can be enlightened by the Buddha and understand human nature, I will burn a high incense.”

Bai Zhixu touched the sheep’s head and liked to say, “Sister-in-law, it’s already very spiritual.”

“Bah—” Sheep gently rubbed Bai Zhixu’s leg.

Yin Mingyu snorted and pulled away directly, not giving it a chance to please his cousin.

“What! What—”

The lamb stayed away from Bai Zhixu, and yelled at Yin Mingyu very temperamental.

Yin Mingyu poked the sheep’s head with a folding fan, thinking: “It’s better to be so tough later.”

The group arrived at the foot of Huguosi Mountain by car, got off the car and hiked up the mountain.

The auntie was pampered, glanced at the stone steps that seemed to be connected to the sky, and regretted: “If not, I’ll wait at the foot of the mountain.”

Yin Mingyu was leading the sheep, but he didn’t force her to go up, he just followed her.

Bai Zhixu persuaded her, “Mother, we all promised our grandmother to go to incense, but when we got to the bottom of the mountain, it was too devout. Besides, don’t you also want to do incense for your father?”

The auntie’s expression changed and she took a step forward.

When Yin Mingyu noticed it, he handed the sheep-raising rope to his aunt to let the sheep share her heart.

And this sheep was in Yin Mingyu’s hand just now, and it was still struggling, unwilling to move its hooves. Once it got to my aunt’s hand, the hair instantly softened, and after baa, I followed my aunt up the mountain.

Sometimes people will be flattered and overjoyed if they get the rare blue eye.

My aunt didn’t like this strange pet very much before, but when she was treated specially by it, she instantly became fond of it and happily led the sheep up the mountain.

It’s a pity that Mrs. Gu’s interest only lasted halfway up the mountain, and her footsteps became heavier and heavier, and even turned into a sheep and dragged her up.

Yin Mingyu just held Bai Zhixu’s hand at first, and borrowed her strength. When he was halfway up the mountain, he pulled another auntie and dragged him up the mountain. He didn’t feel the sweetness at all, but it was all a burden.

The Xie family comes to offer incense and wealth every year, and also has a meditation room for rest.

Yin Mingyu did not believe in anything before, but only in the God of Wealth. Now, he went to Huguo Temple, breathed well, put on a serious incense, and went to pay homage to the Bodhisattva who blesses money, before going to the meditation room with his aunt and cousin to rest.

As for the status of Huguo Temple, on a special date, all those who can go up the mountain to worship Buddha are all from high-level families in Beijing. On the way to the meditation room, Yin Mingyu met a few acquaintances of the ladies, all of whom had to exchange a few words.

In this conversation, it is inevitable to pay attention to Yin Mingyu’s outstanding aunt and Bai Zhixu.

Knowing that Bai Zhixu’s main purpose in coming to Beijing was to find a good marriage, Yin Mingyu held Bai Zhixu’s hand closely and said with a smile, “This is the aunt and cousin of our Xie family who came to Beijing from Yangzhou. “

Then everyone will nod tacitly, some of them know it, and some will ask a few more questions.

Some people boasted quite candidly, Bai Zhixu bowed his head half-brightly, and stood beside Yin Mingyu obediently.

The auntie pursed her lips tightly and didn’t say a single extra word, for fear that she would say the wrong thing in front of outsiders and teach her daughter’s marriage to suffer.

When they finally reached the meditation room where Xie’s family rested, they met Mrs. He, the eldest sister-in-law of Mrs. He, the daughter-in-law of Mr. Xu, the chief of Guanglu Temple.

Seeing Yin Mingyu from a distance, Mrs. He greeted her with great enthusiasm, “I never thought that I met Mrs. Xie Shao in the temple today. Are these two…?”

When the He family joined King Cheng, they were different from the Xie family. Yin Mingyu’s attitude was normal.

Mrs. He rarely met her, so of course she couldn’t let them go like this.

She was born in a big business, and most of her knowledge is that money can make ghosts run the mill, and relying on her own man, she has now climbed up to become a king, and her official rank is not lower than Xie Qin. She walked to Bai Zhixu in two steps and held her hand. With her hand, she asked with a drooling smile, “Miss Xie Jiabiao really looks like a fairy, can you allow her?”

Bai Zhixu didn’t dare to earn it, but her skin was already tender, and Mrs. He tightened her grip, and after a while, a red circle appeared on her wrist.

When the auntie saw it, she raised her eyebrows and said angrily, “Which family’s daughter-in-law are you? How can you be so indifferent? Let go!”

Only then did Mrs. He see the redness on Bai Zhixu’s wrist, she let out a sigh, but didn’t let go, she touched her hand and smiled, “It’s still a little lady’s skin tender, just look at me. If you don’t use much energy, you will marry a family in the future, and I don’t know how much you will hurt Langjun!”

Bai Zhi Xu Ji was so ashamed and annoyed, he pulled out his hand to break free.

Mrs. He teased: “Look, look, this is still embarrassing…”

She was like this, clearly not taking the widowed aunt in her eyes.

In other words, Yin Mingyu and the Xie family were not taken into account. Could it be that they really don’t know the depth of becoming a king?

And in front of the unmarried girl, what did you say?

Yin Mingyu frowned, and without being polite to her, raised his hand to hold one of Mrs. He’s wrist and exerted a little force.

However, she still said politely: “Mrs. He, don’t be joking, my uncle was the prefect of Yangzhou before his death, and my cousin came from an official family, and she was pampered.

As she spoke, the strength in her hands gradually increased, and Mrs. He’s face changed slightly, and she had to let go.

When Yin Mingyu let go of her hand, she also let go of the situation, and pretended to be surprised: “Look at me, I didn’t exert much force, why did Mrs. He’s wrist turn red.”

The auntie was sensitively aware of Yin Mingyu’s attitude, and when she saw the handprint on her daughter’s wrist, she became angry, and even said with a strange yin and yang: “This lady must be very painful to Langjun~”

After she finished speaking, seeing Mrs. He’s annoyed face, she tutted and said, “But your face doesn’t look like it.”

“you!”

Although the auntie was not tall, she was not afraid of anyone when she trembled. She raised her chin and said arrogantly, “Although I am not in the capital, the right minister is my elder brother. In terms of seniority, many people in the capital have to ask me for help. Hold the elders’ salute, you are more respectful to me!”

Mrs. He was dumbfounded, and her arrogance immediately lowered her head.

The auntie, if others are shorter than her, she will immediately step on two more feet and become more arrogant. She also turns to pick up the elder Qiao and ask Yin Mingyu: “niece-in-law, you didn’t make it clear just now who she belongs to. Daughter-in-law? When I look back, I want to teach people to ask, why are there no rules!”

Bai Zhixu held his red wrist and was protected by his mother, feeling extremely relieved.

Yin Mingyu coughed lightly, glanced at Mrs. He, and said very cooperatively: “Aunt Hui, she is the wife of Sima in the Chengwang Mansion.”

The Sima of Chengwang’s mansion is from the fourth grade, and the power is given by the prince’s mansion.

The auntie turned around in her heart, glanced at Yin Mingyu again, pinched her waist, and continued aggressively: “Does Cheng Wang know that you have ruined his reputation so much outside?”

Mrs. He had just taught her that her chest heaved up and down, but when they mentioned Cheng Wang, she instantly calmed down and looked at Yin Mingyu with a proud and excited smile on the corner of her mouth.

Her expression was rather strange, and the auntie’s heart was trembling, and her aura immediately became weak, and she quickly said, “We are too lazy to care about you, niece-in-law, let’s go in.”

Yin Mingyu: “…”

The vigilance hasn’t been raised yet, it’s all gone.

And Mrs. He looked more and more proud, and said directly to Yin Mingyu: “Mrs. Xie Shao, I have some things that you definitely want to know, why don’t we talk about it alone?”

Yin Mingyu glanced at her lightly and said, “Mrs. He thinks too much, I don’t want to know.”

After she finished speaking, she looked away and said to her aunt and Bai Zhi, “Let’s go in.”

The auntie immediately raised her feet, and Bai Zhixu nodded as well, and followed her cousin to the meditation room.

At this time, Mrs. He suddenly pointed at their backs and said, “Twelve years of Tiansheng…”

Yin Mingyu kept walking, ignoring her at all.

Mrs. He increased her voice again, “March 28th…”

My aunt and Bai Zhixu both turned their heads slightly, looked at Yin Mingyu, and guessed what special day “March 28” was.

Yin Mingyu’s expression remained unchanged, his footsteps were not stagnant, and he was thinking about this date in his heart.

March 28 is the birthday of the eldest lady, but the relationship with her…

Seeing that she had no intention of stopping at all, Mrs. He hurriedly threw out the following content: “Peach Blossom Spring!”

Peach Blossom…

Yin Mingyu stopped abruptly.

That year, when the eldest lady met Han Jing, Han Jing gave him a peach blossom…

When Mrs. He saw her stop, the corners of her mouth rose, and she asked proudly, “Can Mrs. Xie Shao talk to me alone?”

My aunt and Bai Zhixu looked at each other, and looked at Yin Mingyu with doubt and worry.

Yin Mingyu looked back, smiled at his auntie’s wife, and said, “Auntie, give me the sheep, I’ll tie it up later.”

Is this the time to take care of the sheep?

The auntie’s eyes had such doubts in her eyes, but she still handed the rope to her.

Yin Mingyu took the rope and taught the two to go first, then turned around and dragged the sheep towards Mrs. He.

Mrs. He glanced at the sheep beside her, and said with some disgust: “Mrs. Xie is a daughter-in-law of an aristocratic family. What is this, there is no joke in Beijing.”

Yin Mingyu smiled lightly, “I met a few ladies just now, but they never pointed out my preferences.”

Mrs. He snorted, glanced at the figure of the aunt who had not disappeared, raised her chin slightly, and said in an instructive tone, “Mrs. Xie Shao, as it is said, those who know the current affairs of the world are Junjie, you are lucky to marry into Xie Shao. The family should also take the responsibility of being a daughter-in-law.”

Yin Mingyu raised his eyebrows slightly, “I would like to hear the details.”

Mrs. He glanced at her contemptuously, and said: “Now in the court, who is most trusted by His Majesty, it is obvious to all. What if the Xie family is an aristocratic family, they are also courtiers. If they don’t know how to praise them, they will not end well.”

Yin Mingyu had a completely incomprehensible look, “I’m just a housewife, I don’t understand court affairs, and I don’t know what Mrs. He said.”

When Mrs. He heard it, she felt that she was more capable than her, and her expression became more and more complacent, “Naturally, it is His Royal Highness Cheng Wang, who is most favored by His Majesty.”

“So what?”

Mrs. He raised her brows and said directly: “His Royal Highness Cheng Wang has given the Xie family a chance again and again. The Xie family does not know what is good or bad. Mrs. Xie Shao may wish to consider for herself. If there is an emergency in the Xie family in the future, you may well take care of yourself. retreat.”

Yin Mingyu was playing with the rope in his hand, making a slightly perfunctory look of panic, “What, what does this mean? How can I think about myself?”

“Naturally, it is to take refuge in Cheng Wang and do things for Cheng Wang.”

Yin Mingyu shook his head again and again, “I’m just a woman, how can I care about the outside world.”

“Women naturally have things that women can do.”

Yin Mingyu still shook his head and didn’t believe it, “The Xie family is a big family, how could something happen like you said.”

Mrs. He was impatient, “You just choose a good tree to live in, and wait for the arrangement, no matter what family, you can’t get involved in some things.”

Yin Mingyu listened to her words and thought about it in her heart, but she suddenly said nonsense on her face, “I’m not a bird!”

Mrs. He choked, but she didn’t expect her to be so dumbfounded and annoyed: “Have you ever read a book?!”

Yin Mingyu said as a matter of course: “Of course I have read books.”

She also looked up and down Mrs. He deliberately disdainfully, “How can Mrs. He be able to imagine what Mrs. He knows so little about?”

The more proud Mrs. He was that her family was rich, the more she could not tolerate others despising her, her blood surged in an instant, and she said indifferently, “You are also worthy of robbing Weiyang County Master’s marriage?!”

Yin Mingyu said unhappily: “Mrs. He said that, what am I like?”

Mrs. He sneered, “Ha~”

Yin Mingyu lowered his face, “Mrs. He, speak as soon as you speak, why are you scolding people?”

Mrs. He: “…” When did she curse!

It really doesn’t make sense with Yin Mingyu, but Mrs. He is so angry that she doesn’t want to talk to her anymore, and she said very impatiently: “If it wasn’t for a good pregnancy, Mrs. Xie Shao wouldn’t be in the eyes of nobles. I’ll tell you now. , if you don’t want your reputation to be ruined, the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng will be miserable for the rest of his life, and you will do as I say in the future.”

Yin Mingyu slightly put away the looks she made on purpose, and asked softly, “Then don’t I have to be manipulated by Mrs. He for the rest of my life?”

Mrs. He said: “When His Highness becomes a major event, naturally no one will pursue your personal affairs. Maybe His Highness will fulfill you and that Han Saburo.”

Yin Mingyu raised his brows and suddenly chuckled.

Mrs. He froze, “What are you laughing at?”

Yin Mingyu smiled more and said casually: “I’m laughing at Mrs. He’s self-righteousness, and she thought she could threaten me because she said something unwarranted?”

As she spoke, she deliberately tugged at the rope, causing the sheep to step on the ground irritably.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. He suddenly realized that she had just acted like that, that she was playing tricks on her, and was furious: “Yin Shi, when I say it, there is naturally evidence that you have an affair with someone, so don’t be ignorant of flattery! “

Yin Mingyu jerked the rope and let go.

Sheep taught her to provoke her temper completely, gained freedom, took a few steps back, and rushed towards her at an accelerated rate.

Yin Mingyu knew its virtues very well, took a small step to the side, and the sheep rubbed her legs against Mrs. He.

Mrs. He was angry and was caught off guard from being hit in the leg. The next moment, the sheep ran away, and the rope caught her ankle. When she was unsteady, she leaned forward.

Yin Mingyu took a step back and watched her fall to the ground in a state of embarrassment. With a pretentious “ah”, she asked insincerely, “Look at me, I didn’t hold the rope, Mrs. He, are you alright?”

Mrs. He knocked her nose on the ground and felt a little dizzy. When her eyes were clear, she saw the red in front of her, and suddenly exclaimed: “Blood! Blood!”

Yin Mingyu glanced at it, not as much blood as she got angry last night, and sneered: “Mrs. He is someone who does big things, how can you be so surprised?”

Mrs. He covered her nose and was furious, her other hand pointed at her angrily, “Yin Mingyu!”

“I know my name is Yin Mingyu.” Yin Mingyu looked at her condescendingly, and pushed her hand away with the folding fan, “Does His Royal Highness Cheng Wang know that his servants are so stupid?”

With this action, she saw that her boots had stepped on a little blood, and immediately took a step back, rubbing the soles of the boots with great disgust.

Mrs. He’s breathing was chaotic, more blood gushed from her fingers covering her nose, and her eyes turned black.

Seeing that the folding fan was also stained with blood, Yin Mingyu threw it on the ground in disgust, and then said nonchalantly, “Whatever evidence you have, if I can teach you to threaten it, my surname will be yours.”

“If you don’t want the surname Yin, you might as well follow the surname Xie.”

A cold male voice sounded behind her.
