The Stepmother is Unkind - Chapter 74
Emperor Zhao’s “footing” of King Cheng represented his partiality.
King Cheng used the Xie family to divert the attention of everyone in the capital. He himself could not go out, but other people in the palace were not on the ban. The county master of Weiyang took this opportunity to finally be able to blend in with his father’s business. , and share some things with the brothers.
King Cheng asked her to facilitate the marriage of Ji Saburo and Liu Erniang, and brought the Ji family over.
The Weiyang County Lord himself has a County Lord’s Mansion, and occasionally lives outside.
Now that I have things to do, it is more convenient to live outside. The Weiyang County Master returned from the Chengwang Mansion to the County Master’s Mansion, and his expression was uncontrollable excitement.
When Xunlang Jun saw her rare appearance in the past few days, he was also happy for her and made tea for her with his own hands.
The Princess of Weiyang was sitting behind the bookcase, looking at the paintings unfolded on the bookcase, remembering the turmoil about Yin Mingyu in Beijing these few days, and sneered, “Look, this is the difference, who dares to speak to me?”
Xunlang Jun came over with tea, glanced at the painting, and put the tea in her hand, “County Lord, drink tea.”
The Lord of Weiyang County held up the tea, and his eyes were full of high spirits.
In the quiet few days of the Xie family, in addition to looking at His Majesty’s attitude, he actually took a look at the situation and how many people were malicious to the Xie family.
In the courtroom, there are people who are two-faced.
However, for the reputation of Yin Mingyu and the Yin family daughter, it should not be delayed for too long, so after the Xie family collected evidence, they directly taught people to impeach the He family for putting money on their sons.
There are many crimes, big or small, and the officials assigned by the Xie family directly gave the He family the name of “Neichen”. Emperor Zhao was already angry at his brother Qianqiang, and his own son could not be punished ruthlessly. Appeasement means that the current dynasty took away He Sima’s official position and put him in prison.
As for He Sima’s impeachment charges, a lot of them came from Mrs. He, and Mrs. He was naturally imprisoned.
That night, the He family and their husbands both “suicided in fear of crime” died in prison.
The He family started out by climbing high and becoming noble, and continued to accumulate wealth by virtue of the powerful, other than that, there is no foundation at all.
When He Sima had an accident, the He family and Mrs. He’s natal family all became underdogs.
The He family wanted to ask King Cheng for help, but King Cheng ignored them at all, showing righteously that King Cheng had no knowledge of what the He family was doing, and abandoned the He family.
This is extremely ruthless behavior, but King Cheng has always been like this, and people in Beijing are not surprised.
The He family could only go to ask for marriage to the married daughter of the Xu family of the Qing family of Guanglu Temple, but the Xu family avoided the He family for fear of not being able to. Mr. He, of course, it is impossible to help the He family.
Even Mr. He himself wanted to stay far away from her parents’ home to protect herself.
The He family really had no way to ask for help, and could only watch the old family crumble and their wealth disappear.
The Xie family just got a head start, but the He family collapsed in an instant because of King Cheng’s ruthlessness.
Following such a ruthless person, seeing the fate of the He family, there will inevitably be some people who will hurt him, but the Xie family is just starting.
As for other people who spread rumors, the Xie family’s response was also so simple, direct and aboveboard.
In an instant, no one dared to discuss the right and wrong of the Xie family and Yin Mingyu on the bright side.
By this time, Mrs. Xie appeared as if nothing had happened.
No one mentioned “Mrs. Xie Shao” at the banquet, only Yin Mingyu’s mother, Mrs. Han, said gossip like a commonplace: “When will the old madam and the others return to Beijing? It seems that it is New Year’s Eve, and the family must be reunited.”
Mrs. Xie smiled and said, “Jing Ming is recovering from his injury, so it’s not easy to toss, but he has already sent the letter, and he will be back in a few days.”
She smiled all over her face, and the eyes of the people around her exchanged, and some people who were close to her echoed a few words.
Mrs. Xie took advantage of the situation to talk about a few things about them in Zhuangzi, and said in a close tone: “Yin’s family is well-bred, Erniang is extremely filial and kind, with her taking care of the old lady and children at Zhuangzi, I and Xiangye can rest assured. but.”
Han shi seemed to be telling the truth, her expression remained unchanged, she said a few words of modesty, and then she talked about the lady Xie Jiabiao.
As soon as the two agreed, they released the news that Bai Zhixu was going to see each other.
Xiejiazhuangzi—
The extremely filial and kind Mrs. Xie Shao is being reprimanded by Mrs. Xie.
Beside her was Xie Ce, who was stunned.
On the ground in front of them, a small loach the size of a pinky was lying motionless.
Xie Ce did not know when he hid a loach and brought it back, and gave it to Mrs. Xie.
As soon as he took it out, Mrs. Xie thought it was a snake and was startled, only to find out that it was a dead loach when he came over.
My aunt was worried that Mrs. Xie would take out her anger, so she took Bai Zhixu back to their house long ago.
And Mrs. Xie was reluctant to get angry with her beloved great-grandson, she was so angry that she knocked on her crutches.
So there is this scene.
Yin Mingyu was very innocent. He lowered his head and gestured to Xie Qin to say a few words for her.
Xie Qin sat in the chair, glanced at her and Xie Ce helplessly, and persuaded Mrs. Xie: “Grandmother, Ce’er is young and doesn’t know how to tell the difference. I gave it to you when I thought it was good. Don’t be angry.”
Xie Ce raised his head and nodded pitifully.
Madam Xie looked at him like this, her heart was blocked, she looked at the loach on the ground again, and waved her hand in disgust, “Get it away quickly.”
The old lady hurriedly came over and pinched the loach out, but Mrs. Xie couldn’t see the loach, and she was still angry, she couldn’t help but glared at Yin Mingyu again, and also glared at her great-grandson.
Xie Qin got up, supported Mrs. Xie’s arm and walked into the back room, persuading her: “Grandmother, Ce’er just used her filial piety wrongly. If she was older, she would be sensible.”
As he walked, he gave Yin Mingyu a look and motioned her to leave with Xie Ce.
Yin Mingyu received it, pulled Xie Ce out, and just poked him in the forehead and said, “Look at what you have done.”
Xie Ce covered his forehead and said aggrieved: “Send to great-grandmother.”
Yin Mingyu looked back at the door behind him and asked curiously, “How did you bring it back?”
Xie Ce imitated her appearance, and also quietly glanced back at the door, pointed to the sheep shed, “Sheep.”
There is a pocket on the sheep’s clothes, and sometimes some gadgets are placed, most of the time they are decorations, but I didn’t expect that it is now used by Xie Ce to smuggle.
This kid is getting more and more spooky.
But Yin Mingyu did not admit that she had anything to do with her, and she was innocent.
So Yin Mingyu said solemnly: “You made your great-grandmother angry, you have to admit your mistake, and you will be punished for writing 20 large characters.”
Xie Ce’s face was full of guilt, and he nodded obediently.
When the two returned to her yard, Yin Mingyu taught the maid to prepare pen and ink for Xie Ce, and Xie Ce stood on the chair and held the pen to write big characters.
After a while, Xie Qin came back, and it was quite strange to see Xie Ce like this.
Yin Mingyu said matter-of-factly: “Xiao Langjun is very self-motivated.”
Xie Qin still had some understanding of his son’s current temperament and was noncommittal.
He didn’t mention the matter just now, and turned to Yin Mingyu: “A letter from Beijing, let’s choose a day to return to the house.”
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Yin Mingyu is not surprised, nodding to show that she knows.
At the other end, Xie Ce, who was writing big characters, blinked when he heard the words of the two.
On the day of the return trip, the group was about to leave Zhuangzi. Madam Xie looked around and didn’t see Xie Ce, so she asked, “Where’s Ce’er?”
Nanny Tong raised her finger and pointed to the maze, and whispered to Madam Xie: “Madam Hui, I just got into it.”
When Mrs. Xie heard the words, she walked over, looked around and saw no one, and shouted, “Ce’er, we have to leave, come out quickly.”
In the northwest corner of the labyrinth, Xie Ce’s voice came: “I’m not here.”
Madam Xie didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, she walked over to the sound, and saw Xie Ce squatting facing the snow wall, in a small ball, and coaxed: “Don’t delay the return trip, come out quickly.”
Xie Ce looked up, his eyes full of surprise, obviously not expecting his great-grandmother to find him.
But he immediately stood up, clinging to the snow wall, hugging the wall, shaking his head: “I don’t want to go.”
Seeing that Mrs. Xie was reluctant, she said, “If you like it, go back to the manor and build another one for you.”
Xie Ce thought for a while, then shook his head hesitantly, “It’s different…”
At this time, Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin came out.
Yin Mingyu touched Xie Qin with his elbow and immediately went to fetch the sheep.
Xie Qin walked over, grabbed Xie Ce’s back with one hand, and lifted him out of the maze.
Xie Ce kicked in the air and wanted to go down.
Yin Mingyu walked over with the sheep, patted the sheep on the back, and called, “Lang Jun.”
Xie Qin understood what she meant, paused for a moment, and put Xie Ce on the back of the sheep.
The delicate sheep suddenly took on an unacceptable weight, and its legs were weak, almost splitting, and its four hooves turned upside down before it stood firm.
Xie Ce was sitting on the back of the sheep. He was stunned for a moment, and suddenly his eyes were full of surprises. He grabbed the wool on the sheep’s back and kicked the sheep’s belly.
The sheep was reluctant to move, but Yin Mingyu dragged it, and it had to move its hooves.
Xie Qin’s hand never left Xie Ce’s back, but Xie Ce completely forgot about the maze just now.
And Mrs. Xie saw that the couple had so easily let Xie Ce go out happily, thinking that she had persuaded her for a while, “…”
The old lady was quite depressed, and glanced at her grandchildren’s daughter-in-law with sour eyes.
When she looked at Xie Ce again, she couldn’t help but regret in her heart: she knew that she should have accepted her great-grandson’s loach, but her great-grandson was only given to her.
