MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 117

After Xie Qin's birthday, the boat arrived at the pier outside the capital.

There were already guards who rushed to the capital to report, so when they got off the boat, someone came to greet them, "Xiaguan Longwu Jun's general Feng Wei, see the governor Xie."

After meeting Xie Qin, he did not ignore the famous white fox heroine Mrs. Xie Shao in the capital, but also clenched his fists at Yin Mingyu, and then went straight to the point.

Long Wujun was the emperor's personal guard, all of whom were close followers of Emperor Zhao.

General Feng Lang said, "Thank you, Governor, the carriage is ready. Your Majesty has ordered you to go directly to the palace to see you after entering the capital."

Yin Mingyu, Xie Ce, and the others moved to the carriage first. Xie Qin and Feng Lang finished handing over the things on the boat and explained a few words to Yin Mingyu. They took a dozen guards, took one step first, and quickly rushed back to the capital.

They arrived at the wharf in the morning, and Xie Qin hurriedly waited outside the palace at noon, waiting for His Majesty's summons.

When Emperor Zhao learned of his return, he immediately called him to see him.

As soon as Xie Qin stepped into the Taiji Hall, he gave a big salute, and then respectfully said: "Your Majesty, the minister is fortunately not humiliated, Lingnan is under control, and there is no disturbance or disturbing the people."

"Alright! Alright!" Although the troops were deployed, but the damage was minimal, Emperor Zhao was overjoyed, "Come here, give me a seat."

Xie Qin did not sit down immediately, but presented his memorial first.

This memorial is extremely thick, but after he hurriedly sorted out the records in the entire Nanyue Prefecture three days before his return to Beijing, he reorganized the book from Nanyue to Yangzhou.

As soon as he took it out of his sleeve, Emperor Zhao restrained his smile.

Every time there is such a memorial, it must be a big event.

The old **** took it from Xie Qin and felt the weight. After presenting it to His Majesty respectfully, he obeyed His Majesty's order and withdrew.

The memorial was written very clearly in the matter of Nanyue, and even the evidence of King Ping and Goulian did not fall. Emperor Zhao slowly turned over with a sullen face, and it was extremely gloomy at the end.

"Bastard!" Emperor Zhao slapped the table heavily, furious, and couldn't help coughing violently.

Whether he was scolding the barbarian, the two clans, or the king of Ping, Xie Qin didn't know, he only got up quickly, poured a glass of water for Emperor Zhao, and comforted him: "Please take care of the dragon body, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhao waved his hand, suppressing his anger, and said: "I have nothing to do, I will not fall at this moment. Where is the ledger that the two kings of peace colluded?"

Xie Qin took out another ledger from his sleeve and bowed, "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

Emperor Zhao raised his hand and took it away. Looking at the date recorded in the ledger, King Ping and Nanyue had been linked for ten years.

At that time, he was still young and strong, and his son had already planned to do something. Now that he is old and frail, his sons can't wait...

Emperor Zhao's speckled hands were getting harder and harder, almost crushing the ledger.

But the sons didn't care about his body, but Emperor Zhao couldn't be ruthless to them, "Tomorrow morning, you only report the matter of Nanyue, don't mention King Ping."

Xie Qin heard the words, there was no accident, he obeyed His Majesty's instructions.

As for the matter of Nanyue, it was not possible to explain it clearly in a memorial, so Emperor Zhao left Xie Qin to stay in the palace, and Xie Qin slowly presented all the evidences and explained them one by one.

There are various forces in the capital, and many things cannot be concealed from the eyes of those who care. Not long after Xie Qin entered the palace, news of his sudden return to Beijing spread like wildfire.

After the officials of the various departments in the imperial city learned about the incident, they all speculated why Xie Qin came back. Could it be that something happened to Lingnan?

After hearing the news, Patriarch Xie felt a little more at ease, but he looked in the direction of the palace and sighed again.

The son's family is safe and happy, but the capital is about to change again...

Yin Mingyu and the others walked slower, and only entered the capital at dusk.

As soon as they entered the city, the guards went back to Xie's house to report the letter.

At this time, Mrs. Xie and her mother-in-law had already received the letter sent by Xie Qin's escort, and they had been waiting anxiously for them for a long time. Finally, another guard came to report, and the three of them were overjoyed.

They wanted to see Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce earlier, so they all came to the front yard to wait, regardless of their elders and children.

So as soon as Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce stepped in the door, they immediately saw the three of Mrs. Xie.

Xie Ce's reaction was always the most enthusiastic. He shouted "grandmother" happily, and rushed into Mrs. Xie's arms.

Mrs. Xie hugged her grandson and touched his face. Thousands of emotions were overwhelmed, and she expressed her thoughts, but she couldn't say a word "thin"...

The auntie's temperament is still the same, her heart is outspoken, and she choked with tears: "I haven't seen you in a few months, it's good that our Ce'er is dark and strong~"

Bai Zhixu: "..." Embarrassed.

Madam Xie's emotions were interrupted, and she hugged her grandson in silence.

Xie Ce is no longer a two-year-old child. He is four years old this year, and he knows that he is embarrassed. He Duzui retorted: "Auntie, Ce'er is not dark and strong."

His serious appearance was really cute, and the aunt was amused, with tears still on her face, she asked jokingly, "What did the aunt say?"

Xie Ce replied seriously: "You can say black, you can say strong, but you can't be black and strong."

As soon as he said these words, everyone fell silent, and then burst into laughter.

Xie Ce frowned slightly and looked back at his mother in confusion.

Yin Mingyu didn't look at him, bowed to greet Madam Xie and his aunt, got up, held Bai Zhixu's hand, and said happily, "Cousin, I haven't seen you for more than a year, you look better again, and there is another one left. A good marriage, congratulations."

Bai Zhixu is the only cousin of the Xie family, with her back to the Xie family, she has such a good appearance, and was taken out by Mrs. Xie for a few times, and many people came to propose marriage.

Among them, there are many clans and noble families, but the Xie family only chose a family with a high status for her, but a relatively innocent and simple family, and Lang Jun also has a good character.

Bai Zhixu was also satisfied with her fiancé, smiled shyly, looked at Yin Mingyu's face, and replied, "Cousin-in-law is getting brighter and brighter now, teaching Zhixu to envy."

Yin Mingyu looked at her white and tender skin, remembered Mrs. Xie's words, and knew that her face couldn't boast "prettier".

But Yin Mingyu didn't care, her fun was the most important thing, so she smiled brightly, it was really bright.

She couldn't see her smile, but Mrs. Xie and the others could see it clearly. She stood beside Bai Zhixu, her appearance was not as delicate as Bai Zhixu's, but she didn't teach Bai Zhixu to suppress her at all.

Especially when she smiled, all of them couldn't help but cast their eyes on her, and their mood was also infected, and they laughed.

Mrs. Xie had seen Yin Mingyu's appearance when she first married into the Xie family, and compared her appearance before leaving Beijing, it seemed that there was no difference from now, but she vaguely felt that it was different.

But she looked at Xie Ce, who had no haze on her body, and no longer thought about it, and greeted them with a smile on her face.

All the servants of the Xie family smiled when they saw the young lady and Xiao Langjun. The whole house seemed to be alive because of Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce.

Mrs. Xie couldn't help but sighed, "When you were away, this house was very quiet and deserted all day; when you came back, it became lively."

My aunt and Bai Zhixu also nodded in agreement.

Just weird.

Bai Zhixu herself has a quieter temperament. When Yin Mingyu was there, she was occasionally affected and would do something a little out of the ordinary. After Yin Mingyu left, she stayed at Xie's house and stayed close to Mrs. Xie, but it was not lively. .

My aunt is not very stable, but after returning to Beijing, apart from occasionally teaching Madam Xie to be speechless, it did not bring much change to the life of the Xie family.

Yin Mingyu is the key.

When Yin Mingyu saw them like this, he glanced at Xie Ce and smiled meaningfully: "Mother doesn't think we are noisy."

How could Mrs. Xie be busy with them arguing. She liked Xie Ce talking beside her.

Later, when Patriarch Xie came back, seeing Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce, his expression softened.

Facing the serious face of his grandfather, Xie Ce did not hesitate to say anything, and gestured to talk about their affairs in South Vietnam.

In just one year, he spoke very smoothly. Occasionally, when he said something, he would be distracted and talk about other things, but when Xie Patriarch and the others thought that his topic was going to be completely gone, he could pull it back and continue talking.

Articulate and very organized.

There are a lot of words, but Xie Family Master and others thought that Xie Ce was too excited after a long time, and their focus was on his growth and the things revealed in his words.

In Xie Ce's mouth, it's all fun and carefree.

But Xie Ce said that they were guests, but they couldn't walk around casually. The head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie thought that they would be held hostage for several days, and they would be strictly guarded;

Xie Ce said that he would go to Qi Jiedushi's house every day for martial arts lessons. The head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie thought that they were trying their best to win over Qi Jiedushi and his wife, regardless of their cold faces;

Xie Ce said that Qi Jiedu's armor and majestic swords, the head of the Xie family and Mrs. Xie thought of dangers and thrills...

And Yin Mingyu was involved.

The auntie and Bai Zhixu didn't know the inside story, but the head of the family Xie and Mrs. Xie would look at Yin Mingyu from time to time.

Yin Mingyu would return a well-behaved smile to the two of them.

Master Xie and Madam Xie: "..."

Thanks to her being able to laugh, if they taught her to be blindfolded now, they would have gained these years in vain.

So the couple will look away calmly.

Yin Mingyu held the tea and sighed inwardly, her well-behaved appearance was becoming more and more useless to the people around her.

Xie Qin was in the palace, and they had dinner together at Xie's house. Mrs. Xie taught everyone to go back to rest, and only said to Yin Mingyu: "Second mother, you stay for a while."

Yin Mingyu did not leave.

Xie family owner and Mrs. Xie are very concerned about Lingnan affairs, but Mrs. Xie left Yin Mingyu, not to ask her about Lingnan, "You are running **** the road, I will not delay your rest too much, I just want to talk to you. talk."

"You say."

Mrs. Xie took her hand and patted her lightly, "I was very worried about your father and I when Dalang's secret was sent to the palace. Now that you have returned safely, we are relieved."

Yin Mingyu reassured: "The Xie family's guards are reliable, and there is a prince, but it's not so thrilling."

Mrs. Xie clenched her hand and said, "Thanks to you, Dalang can be so smooth in Lingnan. Both your father and I are thinking about it."

Of course Yin Mingyu will not be humble, which is good for her and what she wants.

However, it is not her credit, and she will not take it.

Therefore, Yin Mingyu said: "I have a lot of business with Langjun, and some things, it is inconvenient for Langjun to come forward, my temperament is just right, but at the beginning of my friendship with Qi Jiedu and Mrs. Qi, I was greatly affected by it. Lady's blessing."

"The eldest lady and Mrs. Qi are on good terms. Mrs. Qi wrote a special letter to the envoy Qi Jiedu and Mrs. Qi to introduce me."

Mrs. Xie and Patriarch Xie looked at each other and fell silent.

They didn't deliberately treat the eldest lady harshly. Yin Mingyu didn't say it to make the two feel guilty or something, just to let them know.

So she took the initiative to change the subject and said, "When my daughter-in-law comes back, she will have to see some relatives and friends. Do you have any orders from your father and mother?"

Madam Xie returned to her senses and said to her, "I have sent someone to inform my in-laws, and you can bring Ce'er to visit tomorrow."

Yin Mingyu said with a smile: "It's still the mother who thinks well, and the daughter-in-law didn't even bother to send someone to notify."

Mrs. Xie smiled slightly, "You've traveled so long, how can you do everything well? You've done a great job. Go back and rest. I've been teaching people to clean the East Courtyard, and I also burned the ground dragon to bake the house in advance, so it's not cool."

Yin Mingyu thanked them, resigned to the two, and turned around and left the main room.

Mrs. Xie watched her back disappear, and just sighed, "They are all good girls, our Xie family... He De He Neng..."

Patriarch Xie said after a long time: "It is difficult for the Xie family to re-enter, and it is important to ensure the continuity of the family. Now that Dalang and his wife support each other, I am relieved. When the court is calmer, I will resign to His Majesty and make way for Dalang. , Second, you and I can also stay away from these disturbances and see the great rivers and mountains of my Great Ye."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, her mood lifted a little, and she said with a smile, "It seems that my mother doesn't want to come back. If you can really resign, we can go to find her."

Xie Patriarch: "...I hope the dust settles sooner."

On the second day, the Xie family head went to the palace to go to the morning court.

Before him, many officials were already waiting, and when they saw the Prime Minister's arrival, they came to see him one after another.

Xie Qin's return to Beijing, after a night of fermentation, became more and more bizarre. Even if the officials guessed that they might be able to lift the veil early, they still couldn't control their hearts to inquire about "why Xie Qin came back."

King Ping and Duke Zhongguo appeared, and when they saw Xie Youxiang and the officials around him, their expressions were a bit ugly.

In the past, King Ping would come late, but today was earlier than that of King Cheng and King Ding, but Patriarch Xie greeted him quietly and retreated from the officials.

In order to avoid the suspicion of forming a party for personal profit, he has never been openly gathered with many officials. The last time he did this was because of the "White Fox Woman"...

After a while, King Ding and King Cheng came one after another, and they were a little surprised to see that King Ping was actually there.

King Cheng subconsciously mocked a few words, but didn't really think much about it.

However, King Ding lowered his head and thought about the reason for King Ping's abnormality.

There was only about a cup of tea left before the early morning. Xie Qin appeared and greeted the three kings and a group of officials as usual in the center of his sight.

The officials didn't have time to chat with him, so the old chief **** came out and declared the court.

The three kings and a group of officials lined up to enter the hall.

Holding the eunuch's hand, Emperor Zhao walked to the high platform and sat on the dragon chair. He didn't look at the officials with different expressions, and he didn't look at his guilty son.

The chief **** stood on the side and shouted, "I have something to play."

The officials in the hall stagnated for a moment, and Xie Qin took a step and said loudly: "My minister, Xie Qin, the governor of South Vietnam, has a book to play."

Officials stared at it.

Xie Qin didn't hold the memorial in his hand, but he had an excellent memory. He cut off the part about King Ping from the memorial, and the sentences were smooth and without any stagnation.

It is a pity that the civil and military people of the whole dynasty were shocked and dumbfounded by what he played, and no one paid attention to how accurate he chose the words and sentences in the memorial.

Mining private mines for a hundred years for profit;

In the past 30 years, tens of thousands of people have been abducted from various places to mine without seeing the light of day;

At every turn, they beat and scold the miners and murdered countless lives;

Privately cast weapons and silver coins;

To be a blessing, to despise the law, to oppress the people;

Robbing civilian women, forcing good people to become prostitutes;

…

Xie Qin recited a memorial for a long time. Except for his voice, everything in the hall was quiet.

Mining private mines, etc. is a serious crime, but it actually killed people and piled them into mass graves. After listening to Xie Qin's simple description, everyone at the scene could think of the tragic scene.

The officials were like this, but King Ping and Duke Zhongguo were in a cold sweat, and they didn't dare to raise their eyes to look at Emperor Zhao's expression on the dragon chair.

Since Xie Qin had already brought down those two clans, they did not dare to take chances at all. Xie Qin did not discover their connection with Nanyue.

Those two clans have been in Lingnan for a long time. Even in the past few decades, they have not been so dehumanized. It has only been 31 years since the founding of Da Ye. Many things have nothing to do with them, but in the past ten years, they have been in constant contact. Duke Zhongguo did indeed give the two clans a lot of convenience.

If it is exposed, it will be difficult for them to get rid of the relationship, maybe all these things will fall on their heads...

King Ping was sweating profusely, his lips were white, and Xie Qin had been torturing him for as long as he had recited.

Behind him, King Ding stared at him, feeling more and more strange, but when he looked at Xie Qin who was still reporting, a flash of inspiration suddenly filled his eyes, and he habitually lowered his head before covering it up.

On the dragon chair, Emperor Zhao had a panoramic view of the expressions of his three sons.

After King Cheng was surprised, he had nothing to do with him. King Ping was so afraid that he would kneel down at any time. King Ding only thought about fighting for power and profit, but he had no benevolence.

They thought it was a good cover up.

And these three kings are unbearable to be emperors.

Emperor Zhao was disappointed with his three sons, but he wanted to choose an heir from among them. Under his mood swings, he coughed violently.

"His Majesty!"

Xie Qin just finished his report and looked at Emperor Zhao together with the other ministers.

"Cough, cough..." Emperor Zhao covered his mouth with a handkerchief. After the coughing stopped, he wiped his mouth without a trace before he raised his head and said, "I am not feeling well, Chancellor Right and Xie Qing..."

Immediately after ordering a few more courtiers, he went to the study in his dormitory to discuss matters, and then stood up with the hand of the eunuch.

Before he left, he glanced at King Ping indifferently. King Ping was originally relieved because Xie Qin didn't talk about him, but under the brief glance at him, his heart was shocked and his breathing stopped.

The father and son of the Xie family and several officials went to the study room in the side hall of Emperor Zhao's sleeping hall to wait and did not talk.

Emperor Zhao drank the medicine and calmed down before coming over. The discussion was on how to deal with the two clans in Lingnan.

It is not a pity to die naturally for the crimes they committed, but there are so many people of the two ethnic groups that it is impossible to cut them all down, and even the blood will flow into rivers. All ethnic groups return to Da Ye.

Xie Qin explained the current situation of Lingnan in detail, and all the officials made comments one after another. In the end, Emperor Zhao decided to cut off the heads of the patriarchs of the two clans and a group of prestigious people from the two clans, and the rest were exiled to the north. Women of the two ethnic groups and uninformed children are allowed to stay in Lingnan, but they are not allowed to take scientific examinations for three generations.

In addition, regarding the fields of the two ethnic groups, Emperor Zhao adopted Xie Qin's advice, and after he returned to Nanyue, he presided over the auction, which would then be charged to the national treasury.

Emperor Zhao made it clear that Xie Qin still wanted to go back to Nanyue. Originally, Lingnan was a remote place and was a place of exile, but now it is a sweet pastry, but it is a pity that others cannot pick up this political achievement.

A few officials looked at Xiang Xiang's eyes, and they couldn't help but envy a little bit. If their children and grandchildren are prosperous, why don't they worry about building a family.

The Xie family's father and son are not surprised.

Emperor Zhao dragged his sick body to sit for a long time, and his face became more and more tired, so he told them to retire.

The officials retired and left the side hall. Outside the hall, they saw a dozen or so grandsons, standing clearly.

At this time, any actions of His Majesty may have deep meanings.

All these important officials have been immersed in the officialdom for many years. The youngest is Xie Qin, but the father and son of the Xie family are exactly the same, so even if everyone has their own thoughts, they all show nothing strange to the grandsons.

The group went out of the palace as if nothing had happened, the Xie family head and other officials returned to the imperial city to continue their work, and Xie Qin returned to the Xie family.

Yin Mingyu got up late, and just brought Xie Ce to Yin's house.

The three men of the Yin family, except for Yin Erlang who was in the mansion, all had official duties and could not stay in the mansion to wait for them.

But Yin Mingruo, the fourth lady, has returned to her parents' house.

The third lady, Yin Mingrui, suffered a bit because of her pregnancy and was unable to come.

The mother-in-law Han's attitude towards Yin Mingyu was still flat, and her mind was all on her grandson Xie Ce.

On the other hand, the two sisters-in-laws of the Yin family, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. He, were very enthusiastic about Yin Mingyu, even more obvious than the fourth lady.

There was no quarrel in the past, people greeted them with smiles, Yin Mingyu would not be cold-faced, and chatted with them familiarly with a smile, especially when the second sister-in-law He had a body, a ready-made topic.

"I don't know if I can wait until the second sister-in-law gives birth, but even if I can't, it won't be a bad gift for the child."

He was just seven months pregnant, and his cousin Bai Zhixu's wedding was on the third day of May. Xie Qin had an affair, so it would be difficult to keep He's full-term delivery.

He's face was bright red when she was pregnant, and she said with a smile, "Second sister is too polite, he is so small, why should he be so concerned about second sister."

When the mother-in-law Han heard their words, she pointed to Yin Mingyu and said to the second daughter-in-law He, "She is so stubborn, if you are polite to her, it will be cheap for her."

After she finished speaking, she turned to Yin Mingyu, "I listened. If the courtesy is light, my grandmother will ask for it for him."

When the fourth lady heard this, she lowered her head and laughed.

Yin Mingyu looked like she was reluctant to give up her love, "If you say this from your mother, it is a huge loss, and I don't dare to give it lightly."

Xie Ce said: "Mother doesn't dig...isn't she?"

He wanted to protect her, but his tone became more and more hesitant.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

Filial piety, don't say it next time.

Everyone else laughed.

The mother-in-law Han hugged Xie Ce and smiled.

Si Niangzi smiled subtly.

He covered his stomach, not daring to laugh too hard.

The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, smiled and said, "If the second sister doesn't want to lose money, would she have gotten pregnant earlier, wouldn't she be able to earn it back?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the smiles on everyone's faces became stiff, but Yin Mingyu's expression remained the same.

The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu, reacted at once, and hurriedly added: "Look at me, second sister, don't take it for granted, it's normal for you to be pregnant later, don't take it to heart."

Yin Mingyu smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law has been worrying too much. I have a generous heart. How could I mind such a trivial matter."

The mother-in-law Han looked down at her grandson, and saw only curiosity in his eyes. She had no dissatisfaction with whether Yin Mingyu was pregnant or not. She patted his head, and the teacher-in-law went to prepare lunch and taught He to go back to rest.

The two got up obediently and left.

After they left, Si Niangzi smiled and said, "Yesterday, my mother sent someone to tell me that my second sister is back, and Lian'er also asked about my nephew. If my second sister is free, I might as well bring my nephew to my house as a guest."

Xie Ce was pleasantly surprised, "Is Brother Ye in the capital?"

Si Niangzi nodded, "When my husband and I got married, my uncle brought Lian'er and my parents-in-law into Beijing. They usually lived in the academy in the suburbs of Beijing, and happened to be back in Beijing yesterday."

After Yin Mingyu heard her, she realized that Ye Daru took Ye Xiaolang on a study tour and wanted to teach at the Beijing Academy for a year.

The correspondence between Xie Ce and Ye Xiaolangjun was not smooth. It took only a few months to get through two letters. Previously, he was very full all day in Nanyue Prefecture City, so he never thought of Ye Xiaolangjun. At this time, when he heard that Ye Xiaolangjun was in the capital, He jumped to the bed and ran to Yin Mingyu's side.

"Mother, Ce'er wants to find Brother Ye."

Yin Mingyu looked at the fourth sister.

Si Niangzi said: "The eldest uncle still has to teach. Today, I will take Lian'er back to the academy. I won't be able to return to Beijing until half a month later."

When Xie Ce heard this, he looked at Yin Mingyu eagerly, "Mother~"

Yin Mingyu was unmoved, "I'm going to see your third aunt tomorrow."

Xie Ce's eyes opened wider and watery, "The day after tomorrow?"

"The day after tomorrow, I will entertain guests in the mansion." Yin Mingyu agreed with Madam Qi and planned to invite Madam Wen and Madam Jiang to the mansion together.

Xie Ce asked again in a milky voice, "What about three days later? Can I see Brother Ye in three days?"

Han shi and Si Niangzi listened, and did not intervene, but they were all soft-hearted. If Xie Ce acted like a spoiled brat to them, I am afraid they would have surrendered long ago.

Yin Mingyu thought about it for a while, she really has no plans for the future, but the current situation in Beijing makes it inconvenient for them to go out to Beijing to play, and you have to ask Xie Qin to find out.

She also said directly to Xie Ce, "I have to ask your father."

After Xie Ce heard this, he didn't bother, and said seriously, "Mother, if you want to ask, Ce'er will remind her."

"I don't ask, you ask yourself."

"Don't mother want to go out to play?"

"You think more, you ask." Yin Mingyu doesn't care whether she is in front of her aunt or not, she just says and does what she usually looks like.

Xie Ce puffed out his face, and sighed like a little adult, "Okay..."

Yin Mingyu showed a triumphant smile, and when he looked up, he saw his mother-in-law looking at her with disgust, and instantly turned into a well-behaved smile.

Han shi was even more disgusted, and when he turned to Xie Ce, he became gentle again.

Isn't that what she expected? The grandson is now smart, outgoing and cheerful, and has not followed the annoying temperament of the Xie family.

She was thinking of Xie Qin when a report came from outside, saying that Xie Qin had come to see her.

The expression on Han's face lightened a bit, and he said politely, "Please come in."

Yin Mingyu and Si Niangzi looked at each other and understood.

After Xie Qin came in, after seeing the Han family, he nodded slightly to the fourth lady, and sat next to Yin Mingyu.

Han's etiquette was extremely thorough, and after caring about Xie Qin, he no longer greeted him deliberately.

But she noticed out of the corner of the eye that the atmosphere between the two was tacit and natural. After Yin Mingyu's teacup was empty, Xie Qin would renew it for her, but Yin Mingyu was not so careful.

She knew it in her mind, and she mentioned Han Jing as if she was trying to respond to Xie Qin, "Your aunt Han is worried about his marriage, and she comes over from time to time to ask me to persuade your third cousin, but Saburo is good, he said about the previous matter. , I'm sorry to you, I can't be sorry to others anymore, I want to think about it clearly, and then discuss marriage."

How to think clearly?

Is it because Yin Mingyu still has Yin Mingyu in his heart and wants to vacate his mind to discuss marriage again; or he still wants to know what he wants to discuss marriage again; or something else...

Han didn't make it clear, it all depends on what everyone thinks.

But Xie Qin was completely unaffected, seeking truth from facts and calmly said: "Sanlang is really a good person, otherwise I would not have given him guidance before."

No matter what happened to Han Jing, he and Yin Mingyu were just right husband and wife. They had run in with each other. He was confident that he was more suitable for Yin Mingyu than Han Jing.

Seeing his generous appearance, Han shi choked, but he was a little disgusted.

Yin Mingyu picked up the teacup, and the corners of his lips rose by the movement of drinking tea.

Everyone wants to look forward. The mother's angry appearance now means she has come out of the grief of losing her daughter.

They stayed at Yin's house for a lunch, then said goodbye and left.

When Yin Mingyu saw that Xie Qin also came in a carriage, he threw Xie Ce to him, and she wanted to ride with the fourth sister and take her home by the way.

Xie Qin said nothing, and took Xie Ce directly to another carriage.

Si Niangzi saw all of them, and when they got to the carriage, she smiled very softly and said, "I know that the second sister will work hard and live very well, and my heart will be at ease, even if life is a little bumpy, she will smile lightly passed."

Yin Mingyu asked her, "So, is the fourth sister doing well after getting married?"

Si Niangzi smiled and said, "I will live my life well."

Yin Mingyu heard the words, his eyes filled with a smile.

It's not that he treats me very well, it's that I'll be fine.

"I believe in the fourth sister."

In the other carriage, the Xie family's father and son had a completely different atmosphere.

In front of Xie Qin was the unfinished chess game when he came. He got on the carriage and played the game with the black and white stones left and right, ignoring Xie Ce.

Xie Ce was no longer afraid of his father, he sat upright, and said in a serious tone, "Father, in three days, can my mother take me to see Brother Ye at the Jingcheng Academy?"

Xie Qin's eyes were still on the chessboard, and he directly denied: "No."

Xie Ce pouted, but he rolled his eyes and said, "Mother also wants to go out to play."

Xie Qin then turned his head to look at him, suspicious, "Your mother goes to the academy?" Yin Mingyu is not a studious.

Xie Ce: "…"

His little head was racing, and he finally thought of one, and said solemnly, "Yes, when my mother was in Yangzhou, she also took us to the academy."

Xie Qin didn't hear about this, so he put down his chess piece and said, "Tell me about it."

Xie Ce talked about their going to Yangzhou Academy.

At that time, Yin Mingyu accepted the matter of becoming a "grandmother", and he acted as a blessing, no matter who he was or how old he was, and he was rude to support him.

They went to Yangzhou Academy, apparently on a study tour, but several children who were not much older than Xie Ce were not so much a study tour as a wild tour.

Yin Mingyu took the grandmother's shelf and asked a group of grandchildren to serve her tea and fan the air. Later, Mrs. Xie couldn't see it, and the Yin family came again, so she set a time and left Yangzhou.

"They can't bear their mother. We all like our mother to take us to the academy."

Xie Qin: "…"

Like what Yin Mingyu would do.

Xie Ce blinked and asked, "Father, can mother take me to the academy?"

Xie Qin asked lightly, "You are the only one, who brought tea to your mother and fanned it?"

Xie Ce said without hesitation, "You have Brother Ye~"

Xie Qin: "…"

It is really pitiful that Lord Ye Xiaolang knows his son.

Xie Ce tentatively stretched out his little hand, squeezed his father's sleeve, and shook it cautiously, "Father, is it alright?"

Xie Qin pulled away his sleeves and said, "If your mother wants to go, I won't stop you."

When Xie Ce heard this, he hugged his father's arm and said excitedly, "Mother is willing to go! Father is so nice!"

When the three sent the fourth lady home, they returned to Xie's house.

Xie Qin learned that his father was in the study in the front yard, so he went to discuss business with him.

Xie Ce followed behind Yin Mingyu and said with a smile: "Mother, father agreed, and father said he wouldn't stop you."

He wouldn't lie. Since Xie Qin didn't object, Yin Mingyu said, "Go ahead then."

Xie Ce was excited, with a bright smile on his face.

Seeing Mrs. Xie, she asked, "Why are you so happy?"

Xie Ce clucked, and after he was going to the academy to find Brother Ye, he talked about writing letters with Brother Ye, and when he talked about writing letters, he also talked about when they were in Qizhou.

Mrs. Xie listened with a smile, handed him a glass of water at the right time, and finally realized something with hindsight.

Her grandson seems to be talking a lot...

Yin Mingyu had already opened the chat box in Xie Ce and left. When she returned to the East Courtyard, she went straight to the soft collapse, but saw a wooden box that did not belong to her, "Where did this come from?"

Jin'er and Yin'er went out with her, and she didn't know, so she went to ask Qingyu.

"My lady, it's Lang Jun's."

Yin Mingyu did not touch Xie Qin's personal belongings, and asked her to move to another place first, and then lay comfortably on the couch.

In the evening, Xie Qin came back and saw the wooden box. After a pause, he asked, "Second Mother, can you open the box and look at it?"

Yin Mingyu was peeling the pine nuts, peeled a handful, and gave him a little, "No, it's not easy to move without your permission."

Xie Qin said: "I'm not defensive against you, you don't have to be concerned."

When Yin Mingyu heard it, husband and wife should get along with each other, so she was a little tangled: "I'm open-minded, and I'm not against you, but I'm happy to hide my money, and I don't want to show it to you."

Xie Qin laughed and tapped Yin Mingyu's forehead, "Fan of money."

He didn't have any unpleasantness, but was delighted with Yin Mingyu's candid treatment.

And after he went into the inner room to change clothes, Yin Mingyu was eating pine nuts, and was a little curious about what was in Xie Qin's box, so he walked over and opened the lid.

They are all bits and pieces, but Yin Mingyu is very familiar.

The fire escape map she gave to Xie Qin;

Paintings by Xie Ce for Xie Qin;

She draws a black line of paper;

A painting signed "Peach Blossom Spring";

Two white fox masks;

A note she wrote to Sechin;

her letter to Sechin;

The two hand ropes she weaves;

A few ugly golden hairpins...

Almost everything is related to Yin Mingyu.
