The Stepmother is Unkind - Chapter 98

“You mean, the young patriarch of the Yi clan gave you this bottle of poison?”

Yin Mingyu looked at a porcelain bottle that Yan Jun took out and did not pick it up.

Although she frightened Yan Jun at first, she thought that the other party would have some scruples. She just wanted to temporarily trap them for a while and distract Xie Qin.

Xie Qin said that people should always reflect, and Yin Mingyu occasionally reflected on one or two, but she was a little stubborn and hidden in her heart, and she has always been very well decorated.

Longer than knowledge, limited to knowledge.

Yin Mingyu was silent for a moment, then regained his voice and asked, “When will you leave?”

“After the application tomorrow, get off as soon as possible.”

Yan Jun was also afraid that the poison would be spilled on his hands. Seeing that she would not pick it up, he squatted down on the open space in front of him.

Yin Mingyu said hoarsely, as if his throat was stuck, “The time of your death and mine is approaching…”

Her faint tone was like that of a ghost who was killing her, causing Yan Jun to tremble, and said unnaturally, “Girl Jin’er, don’t be joking.”

“Heh.” Yin Mingyu said coolly, “However you deceive yourself and others.”

Yan Jun couldn’t help palpitating.

For those who are shaken by interests, they must always be reminded of who is the good master.

Yin Mingyu asked: “You came to me this time for Nanke?”

Yan Jun didn’t deny it, and lowered his head and said weakly: “In the eyes of you nobles, we are just livestock to be slaughtered. Our struggles are ridiculous, right?”

Yin Mingyu did not speak.

In the past few days, she was also touched by the contact with the Yanzu. Although it was not her intention, she was indeed lucky to be reborn in a wealthy family.

They have different positions, and what they say is charity.

“Girl Jin’er, I have to go to Nanke. If you have something to do, please ask Mrs. Prefect to give instructions tomorrow.”

Yan Jun clenched his fists, then turned around in a hurry, and ran with a purpose.

Yin Mingyu asked the guards to carefully put away the porcelain bottle and take it to the old doctor tomorrow, then turned around and went back upstairs.

Xie Ce was still asleep, not woken up at all, lying on his back, with the hem of his bedclothes rolled up a little, showing a portion of his round belly, which rose and fell with his breathing.

Yin Mingyu looked at him, ripped off the hem of his pajamas for him, and said with a smile, “It’s such a blessing, I don’t know if there will be ups and downs in his life.”

The best is not, but how can people always be smooth sailing.

“Ma’am, do you want to continue sleeping?”

Yin Mingyu watched for a day, and his mood was inevitably affected. It was not good, so Yin Mingyu turned his neck and said, “Sleep, when we wake up, let’s go back to the prefecture.”

Jin’er and Yin’er were all overjoyed, “Then you fall asleep, we’ll ask someone to clean up when it’s dawn.”

Yin Mingyu yawned and wanted to lie down.

At this time, Jin’er suddenly asked: “Miss, Yan Jun knows where to find someone, will those Nanmeng people follow him?”

Yin Mingyu’s figure stopped, and he knocked on his forehead, “I’m confused, how can we let the people who came to the door go like this.”

She said, teaching Jin’er to take care of Gu Xie Ce, then turned around with Yin’er, taught the guards to prepare horses, and with twenty horses, they rushed to the place where they ran into Yan Jun and Nan Ke last time.

Only halfway through the gallop, they saw the light that suddenly appeared on the other end, and the group drove straight towards the fire.

Yan Jun had previously learned that Nan Ke was missing, so he had some guesses about her whereabouts, so after surrendering, he went straight to the old place agreed by the two of them.

Sure enough, I saw Nan Ke sitting on a stone by the stream.

She turned her body sideways, her long hair scattered on her body, a crescent moon reflected in the stream, and the dim light reflected on her side face, with a bit of fragility that could be broken at any time in a trance.

Yan Jun cautiously said, “Nan Ke…”

Nan Ke turned his head dully, with water in his eyes, “Yan Jun, I’m sorry.”

“Why did you say sorry to me?” Yan Jun advised her, “It’s okay, you don’t want to get married, I’ll help you find a way…”

“Marry… Hahahaha…” Nan Ke’s laughter gradually increased, but she was clearly laughing, but it seemed like she was crying.

Yan Jun gritted his teeth, “Nanke, I can’t leave the clan, but I begged someone, I will beg her to send you away, you can go to a place where no one knows you and start over.”

Nan Ke stopped laughing, looked at him blankly, and a tear fell.

“You’re not going anywhere!”

A harsh voice sounded behind Yan Jun, and then torches lit up, reflecting the faces of the Zhang Nanmeng clan.

Yan Jun panicked for a moment, then turned to block Nan Ke and confronted them.

Nan Ke just looked at these clansmen indifferently.

The old man ignored Yan Jun, and only threatened Nan Ke behind him: “You don’t want anything to happen to this Yan clan person, do you? Nan Ke, go back with me.”

Nan Ke looked at their extremely ugly faces under the firelight, smiled mockingly, raised his hand, and put it on his neck.

She held a hairpin in her hand, and the sharp end of the hairpin pressed down, as if it was about to pierce the skin.

“Nanke!”

The old man shouted nervously, and the other Nanmeng clan also took a breath.

Yan Jun noticed that something was wrong, so he looked back, his pupils shrank, and he said anxiously, “Nanke, don’t do stupid things.”

The sound of the approaching horse hooves caused everyone to look sideways, and hope flashed in Yan Jun’s eyes, while Nan Ke kept his posture and didn’t pay attention to the person coming.

“Call-“

Twenty Xie family guards Qi Qi held the reins, and then pulled the horse to give way to both sides, Yin Mingyu and Yin’er rode out slowly.

When everyone in Nanmeng saw her face, they instantly remembered her previous threatening words, and they were terrified.

When Yin Mingyu saw the two-to-many scene, his eyes stopped at Nan Ke’s neck again, and just then he said, “You guys continue, I’ll listen.”

Nanmeng everyone: “…” Are they coming to see the fun? ill!

But these people bully the soft and fear the hard, and dare not speak.

Yan Jun turned to Nan Ke happily and persuaded her: “Nan Ke, they can’t take you away, you put down the hairpin.”

Nan Ke still looked at the clansmen, and said with great disgust, “I want to vomit when I see your faces.”

The faces of the Nanmeng clansmen showed embarrassment.

“Have you ever thought about it, if you do something stupid, how will the clan explain to others, how will the clan survive in the future, think about the children of the clan, they are innocent.”

“Just for the whole family…”

But what he said actually stimulated Nan Ke.

“What else do we have to do for the clan? How do we sacrifice?! Are we prostitutes?!”

Nan Ke asked loudly, and when he said that word, he grabbed his chest in pain and retched uncontrollably.

Yin Mingyu subconsciously thought of the beauty of Nanmeng in the backyard of the state government, and his expression was slightly stern.

The old man’s expression changed, and he drank coldly, “Nanke, don’t talk nonsense!”

Yan Jun didn’t know why, but he had a very bad premonition in his heart and asked tremblingly, “Nanke, your marriage…”

“Marriage… Hehehe…” Nan Ke seemed to have heard a joke, with tears in his laughter, “What marriage, it’s all fake!”

She was out of control for a while, the hairpin slightly pierced her neck, and blood beads flowed from the wound.

Yan Jun raised his hand nervously, “Nanke, be careful with the hairpin.”

Nan Ke ignored it, turned his head to the side, with hatred in his eyes, and tore the fig leaf of the Nanmeng clan, “I thought it was the barbarians who robbed the women of the clan and sent them to please all kinds of powerful people. It was a last resort. You sold it!”

“Aren’t you afraid of retribution for using the wealth you got from selling your body from the women in your clan?!”

It was so…

Yan Jun looked at Nan Ke in shock, then turned to the Nanmeng clan angrily, wishing to eat them.

Yin’er and the Xie family guards all looked at the Nanmeng clan with contempt.

The old guy is still quibbling: “Our clan is weak, how can we fight against the barbarians? Nanke, you have misunderstood, aren’t the clan elders and clan chiefs always asking the younger generation of the clan to study? stand up…”

“Bah!” Nan Ke was extremely disgusting, “In twenty or thirty years, is there a name in the clan? The girls in your clan are Chinese, and it’s all for the sake of sending them out!”

The old guy blocked for a while, but couldn’t refute.

He looked like he had a guilty conscience.

Yin’er’s temper, even if she couldn’t help it, she snorted and scolded: “You don’t have any kind of stuff, what excuse do you make? If it is a man, even if he fights his life, he will not let his wife and daughter be humiliated. .”

“You!” The Nanmeng tribe became angry, “What do you know!”

Yin Mingyu didn’t say anything to stop it, Yin’er didn’t know what it meant to stop, and slapped them again, then turned to Nan Ke and said, “Miss Nan, with all due respect, it’s not worth dying for these scumbags, you can only turn around if you live. room.”

“The elders who have been so kind to me since childhood are all jackals…”

“I still regret wanting to run away, and want to sacrifice myself to make a way out for my clan… I’m so stupid.”

Depressed despair gradually filled Nan Ke’s eyes, “The root is a black heart, and there is no way to save it…”

“No one can save us…”

Nan Ke closed his eyes and raised the hairpin to tie it down.

“Nanke!”

Yan Jun rushed over with all his strength, trying to stop her.

Yin’er exclaimed, “Little Miss Nan! Don’t!”

The Nanmeng clansmen were also in turmoil.

“I can save you.”

This “I can save you” was not sharp in the noisy voice, but it was very convincing. It entered Nan Ke’s ear with penetrating power in an instant, and she subconsciously held her hand.

However, the next moment, with a solid blow, Nan Ke flew out.

“thump!”

Deathly quiet.

Yin Mingyu watched Yan Jun throw Nan Ke into the stream, his expression blank.

Even… by the stream… this kind of accident is very likely to happen… right?

The others couldn’t react, and they all forgot their words.

Nan Ke was unprepared, and Shui lost her face in an instant. The suffocation and fear made her struggle hard, “Save…Guru…Save me…”

She just couldn’t bear the torment in the future. If there was a glimmer of hope, she actually didn’t want to die that much.

“Help…”

Yan Jun hit his head on the stone and was dizzy. He suddenly heard Nan Ke’s weak voice. When he looked up, he saw a man fluttering in the water. He was anxious, “Nan Ke, I’m here to save you.”

jumped into the water.

No matter how deep the stream can be, it is only a few inches higher than his knees. He was already dizzy and unable to stand upright. As soon as he jumped into the stream, his feet slipped, and he pressed Nan Ke, who had finally sat up, into it.

Yin Mingyu’s face was so indescribable that he couldn’t bear it any longer, so he closed his eyes.

Immediately beside him, Yin’er bared his teeth and grinned: “Huh—” Nan Ke felt distressed.

In the stream, Yan Jun got up in a hurry and found that the stream was shallow, so he hurried to help Nanke.

Nan Ke was soaked all over, and his long hair stuck to his face like algae, like a water ghost coming out of the water.

She choked on a belly of water, and while coughing, she pushed Yan Jun away fiercely.

Yan Jun knew that he was wrong, and followed her ashore with a sullen head.

Nan Ke was sitting wet on the stone, dripping with water all over his body, he calmed down, looked up at the only two women present except her, and finally met Yin Mingyu’s gaze.

Yin Mingyu saw that she was in a state of embarrassment, but she lost her previous ambition to die, and suddenly chuckled.

She originally thought that the world is like this, and one person can’t change anything at all, so she only cares about her own happiness and only cares about her one-third of an acre of land.

But she is happy, but she only dares to enter the prosperity, dare not see the hardships, and never let go.

But why can’t she let go, why can’t she face herself in the depths of her heart?

Yin Mingyu was not a saint in the first place. He didn’t have high ambitions to change the world. Of course, he could gain a little bit of life with his ability.

She is lazy and greedy for pleasure, but when she really walks into places she dare not enter, she is truly enlightened and free of distracting thoughts.

Like this girl, she didn’t want to go to a dead end. Yin Mingyu could help her just by raising her hand a little bit.

If she encounters it, she will meddle in her own business if she wants to, but if she doesn’t encounter it, she will do nothing if she wants to do nothing.

Do not do evil, do not suffer evil consequences.

With a clear conscience, why blame?

People are always changing, and she is getting better.

Lingnan this time, it is really not in vain.

Yin Mingyu’s eyes were bright and firm. He looked at Nan Ke and said word by word, “I can save you.”

Nan Ke raised his head and couldn’t see her face clearly, but because of her eyes, he was stunned, “How can you save me…”

Yin Mingyu smiled leisurely, and then said sternly: “These Nanmeng clansmen, who disturbed and offended me, took all of them, pressed them back to the prefecture, and handed them over to the governor to deal with!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the guards around her gave a signal, and several guards poured out around them. In an instant, the long knife was placed on the necks of the Nanmeng clansmen.

“You, you… who are you?”

Yin Mingyu rode on the horse, looked down, and said lightly, “I’ll do the second, and I’ll be called Lady Yin Er in Beijing. I’m not well-known here in Nanyue, so I’ll call you Mrs. Inspector.”

“Mrs. Inspector?!”

“Mrs. Inspector?!”

Voices of surprise came from two directions, one from the Nanmeng clan, and one from Yanjun and Nanke.

And Yan Jun’s voice was extraordinarily exaggerated, looking at Yin Mingyu dumbfounded, “You, aren’t you Jin’er girl?”

Yin Mingyu glanced at him, was too lazy to answer him, took it back and ordered, “Tie it up and take it away.”

A group of Nanmeng people panicked for a moment, and the old man shouted: “We didn’t do anything, how can you tie us?”

“Do or not, is it your decision?” Yin Mingyu suddenly raised his hand, held his head, and leaned to one side.

Yin’er’s horse was very close to her, she cooperated instantly, supported her, and exclaimed anxiously: “Madam! Madam! What’s wrong with you? Are you okay?”

Yin Mingyu leaned on her and said weakly: “They scared me, they made me have a headache, hiss—it hurts badly…”

When Yin’er heard this, she glared at the Nanmeng clansmen: “You dare to collide with our lady, the sin is unforgivable.”

Nanmeng Clan: “…”

Mrs. Inspector from the capital… defrauding people in public? Didn’t it say that the people in the original Central China valued decency the most, and put on the shelf?

However, no matter how unbelievable they were, the Xie family guards had already twisted straw ropes and tied them to their wrists.

On the other hand, Yan Jun, looking at this unexpected behavior, suddenly felt a little bit hurt.

Yin Mingyu pretended for a while, but refused to do it a second time, so he sat up.

All the Nanmeng clansmen were captured, and the guard asked for instructions, “Young Madam, do you want to go back?”

Yin Mingyu sat on the horse without saying a word. After a while, he said, “Take the person to the stream.”

The guards didn’t know why, but did so obediently.

Yin Mingyu dismounted, Yin’er rolled her eyes and followed.

The two walked calmly to the stream and stopped in the sight of everyone’s doubts.

Yin Mingyu glanced down at the distance, took another half step forward, then turned to Nanke, and said, “Retribution doesn’t have to wait until later, you can charge a little interest first.”

Nan Ke was inexplicable, his eyes widened suddenly.

I saw Yin Mingyu flying decisively, kicking a man’s chest, and the next moment—

“thump!”

Yin’er also raised her foot and kicked the person, “Go on, you~ I’ve already seen you guys are not pleasing to the eye.”

Yin Mingyu gently sent the two of them down to take a night bath, and just then smiled and let out a sigh of relief, “Comfortable.”

Nanke: “…”

Yan Jun urged behind her, “Nanke, do you want to try it too?”

Nan Ke moved forward and said hesitantly, “They are all from the same clan…”

She said “the same clan”, she was very honest in body, she opened her heart with the first kick, and then with the ruthless force of kicking people down, even Yin’er was so shocked that she had to step back.

Yin Mingyu got on the horse again, and when she was relieved a little, she ordered the guards to bring people back to the bamboo building.

Seeing that there were so many people in the Bamboo Building, the Yan people were at a loss.

Yanxia leaned over to Yan Jun and wanted to ask what happened, but Yan Jun only shook his head slightly at him and didn’t say much.

At this time, it was already bright, and no matter how much sleep, Yin Mingyu taught the Xie family’s entourage to pack up and prepare to leave.

Yin Mingyu took advantage of this time to inquire about the barbarians from Nan Ke’s mouth.

Nan Kirby Yanjun knows more, but he is very superficial. Whether it is useful or not, we will have to see Xie Qin.

However, every time the barbarians and the scorpions are mentioned, the butterfly fairy in the Butterfly Valley Butterfly Temple cannot be avoided. Yin Mingyu asked curiously, “What does the butterfly fairy care about? Does it manage wealth?”

The things she cared about were so strange that Nan Ke was speechless, but she still replied: “It’s okay, but…” The main thing is to seek marriage…

Yin Mingyu didn’t care what she said after that, and only asked enthusiastically, “Is it good?”

Nanke: “…should.”

Yin Mingyu immediately thought about when to go there in person.

Nan Ke looked at her face, hesitated for a moment, and asked, “I have a biological sister, I heard that she was given to Lord Prefect…”

“My sister?” Yin Mingyu suddenly thought of who she was talking about, nodded and said, “There is such a thing, but the prefect is not serious, just locked her up and didn’t treat her harshly.”

When Nan Ke heard the words, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

As soon as Yin Mingyu looked at her smile, her love for beauty rose again, she admired it for a while, and asked, “You said earlier that there is a way out, how do you plan to earn it?”

Nan Ke lowered his head, “There are several women in our clan who are concubines in the barbarian clan. I think maybe we can connect with them to do something. Yan Jun… Yan Jun cares about me, and maybe he can cooperate with me in the future…”

Listening to what she meant, she didn’t know what she could do.

Yin Mingyu did not praise her well and said that maybe according to her plan, they may really be able to defeat the barbarians in the future, but the process must be extremely tragic.

“Madam, pack up.” Jin’er, who had regained her name, came over and reported.

Yin Mingyu got up and asked, “Is the rope ready?”

Jin’er nodded, “It’s done.”

Yin Mingyu waved his hand, “Tied all up.”

Nan Ke thought he was going to tie up her clan, and was about to ask what would happen to her clan, when he saw Madam Prefect’s guards tying ropes to the hands of Yan Jun and others, and his eyes widened in shock, “Why?! “

Yin Mingyu didn’t answer her, and asked her to lead her to the carriage at the back, and let Nanny Tong come down with Xie Ce who was still awake.

Yan Jun and the others did not resist the whole process, and when the Xie family’s carriage set off, they followed behind the carriage.

The carriage walked for a while, Xie Ce woke up, looked at the cramped carriage, and didn’t understand what was going on, “Huh?”

Yin Mingyu said: “The game is over, just call my mother.”

“Ah?” Can’t be called “hmm” anymore, Xie Ce was a little reluctant, “Mother, are you gone?”

“Um.”

At a young age, Xie Ce sighed faintly, and then happily leaned over the car window and looked out. When he saw it, he saw a long queue following the carriage, especially when they were still tied with their hands, and asked in surprise: “Mother, what is that?”

“Coolie.” Yin Mingyu paused and added, “The one who made mistakes.”

Xie Ce looked at one of the columns, pointed and said, “It looks good!”

Yin Mingyu nodded, “Good-looking coolie.”

When they walked this time, there were many people behind them. They didn’t walk fast on the road. They passed a county town and directly took this mighty group of people to swagger through the city and entered the official post for repair.

Their team was very conspicuous. After entering the official post, the county magistrate led the county officials to visit them. During this period, they kept looking at the crowded people who were bound.

Yin Mingyu had already instructed the guards and entourage, so when someone asked them, they told them with great fanfare that these people had committed crimes and brought them back to the prefectural governor and other governors, but they kept secret what they did. .

Those people can’t inquire, they can only guess and report to the people behind them.

The news was quickly spread to the father and son of the Butterfly Valley Yu Clan, who tied the Yan Clan. They could guess the reason. What happened to the people who tied the Nanmeng Clan?

The two were puzzled and worried that things would be exposed, so they did not dare to act rashly, so they continued to send people to investigate.

On the evening of the second day, Yin Mingyu finally arrived at Nanyuezhou City.

The long motorcade, guarding more than 100 people, plus the more than 100 young men of the two races, when Madam Prefect arrived at the gate of the state city, she relied on this extremely eye-catching team to become the most eye-catching person in the state city.

The people in the state city are running around to tell each other, and they are all talking about it.

Yin Mingyu just led people across the main street and stopped in front of the gate of the government office as more and more people watched.

The people of the state government came out when they heard the sound and watched from a distance.

In the first large carriage, Yin Mingyu, who was dressed in jewels, walked down gracefully. Then, Xie Ce, dressed in red brocade, stepped down from the carriage in a dignified manner. He was obviously still young and had a somewhat restrained manner.

Afterwards, Jin’er, Yin’er, Ranliu and other maids lined up behind them with low eyebrows, and there was a majestic guard on the side, who was full of style and extraordinary.

When Xie Qin heard the news, he walked out hastily, and when he saw Yin Mingyu’s head full of pearl hairpins, he couldn’t help but blink.

He was slightly shocked that Yin Mingyu had come back by himself. At this time, he really saw Yin Mingyu, and it took him a long time to spit out a sentence: “Madam… You are really rich and noble.”

Thankfully she can wear more without being cluttered.

Yin Mingyu raised his hand gracefully, supported his heavy head, and said with a smile, “I’m new here, so I need to be more solemn.”

Xie Qin lowered his head and saw the golden wish-fulfilling lock on his son’s neck and a jade belt buckle on his waist, “…”

Even if he had already prepared for Yin Mingyu’s unexpected move, he would still be speechless when he saw her with his own eyes.

Then, Yin Mingyu raised his hand, pointed at the person behind the carriage, and said, “Lang Jun, this is the coolie I brought back to you.”

Xie Qin looked at it and did not change his face even if he had doubts.

Yin Mingyu pointed to Nan Ke who was hiding behind the maids, “Lang Jun, this is the beauty I brought back to you.”

Xie Qin: “…”

Yin Mingyu asked interestingly, “Lang Jun, aren’t you happy?”

Xie Qin: “…Madam, you have a heart.”
