MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 14
Yin Mingyu appeared in the main courtyard with a ruddy face on the first morning when Yin Mingyu restarted the morning and evening, leaving both Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Xie, who had thought they were going to face a bitter look, speechless.
How heartless it must be, to be able to ground myself and nourish myself so well.
Yin Mingyu saluted honestly, gave the two a not-so-smart smile, and self-examined: "Grandmother, mother, Erniang knew that she was wrong, and she will definitely correct her ill-conceived problems in the future."
She looked at the two of them cautiously and expectantly, and asked tentatively, "Does the lifting of the ban forgive Erniang?"
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie looked at each other, but they were helpless. How could they ask so bluntly and directly, they should know each other well, right?
And Yin Mingyu still looked at them eagerly, with a look of "I can't feel at ease without getting the answer".
Mrs. Xie said with a straight face, "Forget it this time, be more stable in the future. You are the young lady of the Xie family, don't lose the reputation of the Xie family."
Yin Mingyu immediately agreed with great certainty: "Yes, Erniang remembered it."
So confident, it seems even more uneasy...
The Xie family, who was on the verge of walking, married such a dumb and silly daughter-in-law, and Mrs. Xie suddenly felt a little worried.
Mrs. Xie did not change her expression, "It's good if you know how to introspect yourself. The old lady is right. You are the young lady of the Xie family, and you will shoulder the important responsibility of the Xie family's house in the future. It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just study hard."
Yin Mingyu replied obediently, "Yes, mother."
Mrs. Xie nodded and encouraged: "You are sincere and... smart. The old lady and I have high hopes for you."
Yin Mingyu was shy and panicked and said modestly: "Mother, you have won the prize, and the second mother dare not be."
Mrs. Xie rolled her eyes and praised her, but she didn't take it seriously.
Mrs. Xie's expression was calm, and she continued: "My in-laws told me that I will give you Ce Erniang's dowry with confidence. A few days before you marry, the future will be in time. Later, I will send someone the key to the warehouse, the dowry slip, and the account book. Go to the East Court."
"I'm afraid Erniang is not competent..." Yin Mingyu reluctantly declined, "It's better for my mother to continue to take care of it and hand it over to Xiao Langjun in the future..."
Mrs. Xie said without doubt: "Can I still manage the family for the rest of my life? You take care of Ce Erniang's dowry first. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me."
Yin Mingyu then agreed, "If mother doesn't dislike Erniang's stupidity, Erniang will definitely go to ask for advice often."
Mrs. Xie nodded, "Yes."
Mrs. Xie didn't say anything about the matter. Mrs. Xie had reported to her long ago. Since the Yin family agreed, let Yin Mingyu use Ceerniang's dowry to practice, otherwise they would not worry about Yin Mingyu's contact with the Xie family's stewardship. .
And Yin Mingyu has 20,000 taels of dowry silver, which is actually enough for her to live the life she wants, and she can shirk it completely.
Of course, the main reason is that this thing is not enough to affect her comfort and happiness, otherwise she will find a way to get rid of it no matter what.
When Mrs. Xie saw that Mrs. Xie finished her business, she turned to the maid and said, "Go and see, Ce'er is about to wake up?"
The maid withdrew, and after a while, she returned and reported, "Lao Madam Hui, Xiao Lang has already woken up."
Madam Xie's mind ran towards Xie Ce, staring at the door and waiting for Xie Ce to appear.
Mrs. Xie also looked in the direction of the door, but her eyebrows were slightly locked, as if she was thinking about something.
Yin Mingyu's eyes swept across the faces of the two elders, and he picked up the tea at hand and drank silently.
When Nanny Tong walked in with Xie Ce in her arms, Madam Xie immediately smiled lovingly and waved at Xie Ce, "Ce'er, come quickly."
Xie Ce saw Yin Mingyu at a glance, and because of the greeting from his great-grandmother, he turned around, and soon turned to Yin Mingyu again, staring straight at her with bright eyes.
Yin Mingyu noticed the taste in Mrs. Xie's expression from the corner of her eye, and raised the corner of her mouth. Even if she responded, she lowered her head again.
Nanny Tong let Xie Ce go to the ground, Xie Ce salutes Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie, but when it was Yin Mingyu's turn, she turned around and ran into the room, Nanny Tong and her maid hurriedly followed behind him.
Mrs. Xie raised her voice slightly and warned: "Teach him to run slower, don't fall!"
Xie Ce's figure disappeared, and she just turned back and said, "This child, I don't know what he is going to do."
Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "Don't worry about what you are doing, you look so angry."
Elders care about their children's health the most, and Mrs. Xie agrees, "Indeed."
Yin Mingyu had a smile on his face and kept his mouth shut.
Not long after, Xie Ce ran out again, holding a wooden sword in his hand.
He walked fairly steadily, but when he ran, he wobbled a bit. Madam Xie was worried and taught him to slow down again and again.
Xie Ce ran two steps away from Yin Mingyu, and stopped suddenly, with a look of embarrassment when he wanted to approach.
In the main room, it was suddenly quiet, and almost everyone looked at the scene in astonishment, secretly wondering why Xie Ce suddenly became close to Mrs.
Yin Mingyu looked down at him, didn't speak, and looked at Mrs. Xie again.
Mrs. Xie's expression became more appetizing. Mrs. Xie took the lead and said with a smile: "Cer, salute your mother."
Someone told Xie Ce to have a direction, but when he raised his hand, he found that the wooden sword in his hand was in the way.
Yin Mingyu got close, leaned slightly, and gestured to him.
Xie Ce put the wooden sword in her hand, then folded his hands high, bent down, and saluted.
Mrs. Xie praised him and said, "It's a good day outside today, let's teach your mother to take you to play in the garden."
Mrs. Xie hesitated, frowning.
Seeing this, Yin Mingyu got up immediately, flipped the wooden sword in his hand, and saluted with his two thumbs holding the hilt of the sword, the body of the sword facing down, and resigned to the two elders.
Xie Ce stared intently at her movements, and when she saw her walking, she didn't need to be held or led, and trotted to catch up.
Yin Mingyu took one step, he had to take two or three steps, and after a while, he ran out of breath.
Nanny Tong and the maid chased him and wanted to hug him, but Yin Mingyu heard it and didn't care, so she walked ahead with the wooden sword.
Xie Ce only had the wooden sword in his eyes, he pushed Nanny Tong and the others away with his little hands, and continued to run happily.
Nanny Tong couldn't, so she could only say to Mrs. Stepsister: "Madam, Xiao Langjun is a little tired..."
"Really?" Yin Mingyu stopped and looked at Xie Ce nervously, "If you're too tired, Xiao Langjun, we can't afford it, why don't we go back?"
When Xie Ce heard this, he was full of resistance and shook his head with his hands behind his back, "No! I won't return!"
Yin Mingyu looked at Nanny Tong helplessly, saying that her persuasion was useless.
Then he looked at it with a gesture, pointed to the pavilion in the center of the garden, and said, "Why don't you wait for him to stay there for a while and then go back."
The garden of Xie Mansion is huge. It separates the front yard and the back yard. The scenery is also beautiful.
Both the Xie family and the Yin family are from the south of the Yangtze River. They prefer the garden scenery in the south of the Yangtze River. They pay attention to one scene at a time. They are well-proportioned and every detail is exquisite and delicate.
This autumn, the chrysanthemums by the water are slowly blooming. Although they are not fully bloomed, they are worth seeing.
The location of the pavilion is the most suitable for viewing chrysanthemums. Yin Mingyu has long been thinking about it, so he raised his foot and went straight there.
The rest can only follow.
When the group arrived at the pavilion, the maids moved, wiped the stone table and bench, put down the cushions, placed snacks and tea, and then Yin Mingyu sat down.
Considering Xie Ce, the dim sum was extremely soft and rotten, and it was small in size.
Yin Mingyu wiped his hands, picked one up, and stuffed it into Xie Ce's mouth in front of him.
Xie Ce's cheeks moved and chewed, Yin Mingyu put another piece for him, then stopped, and started eating by himself, asking him while eating, "Want to learn a beautiful sword move?"
Xie Ce didn't know whether to listen or not, stared at the dim sum in her hand, and nodded.
Under his sight, Yin Mingyu ate another piece, "Speak, how can I know what you mean if you don't speak."
Xie Ce stared at her hand and said in a milky voice, "I want to."
Yin Mingyu pretended not to see his greedy look, raised the wooden sword with the other hand, and slashed it twice in the air to demonstrate, then returned it to Xie Ce, "Go and play."
Xie Ce held the wooden sword and turned around slowly.
Nanny Tong couldn't bear him, so she wanted to speak.
Yin Mingyu had already turned his back, poured tea on his own, and ate a bite of tea while enjoying the scenery. It didn't take long for the dishes to bottom out.
Xie Ce threw his sword in the outer space of the pavilion for a while, but it was boring, so he stopped.
He looked at Yin Mingyu quietly, saw her with her back to him, turned his eyes, and quietly climbed the steps with the wooden sword, and approached the stone table.
Yin Mingyu held his chin and didn't move, a small hand slowly stretched out from under the stone table, grabbed left and right, and stretched forward again when he didn't catch anything.
Under the table, two little feet stood on tiptoe, and the little hand on the table slowly approached the plate in the middle.
At this time, Yin Mingyu moved a little, and the little hand was retracted suddenly, and it shrank under the table and didn't move.
The corners of Yin Mingyu's mouth rose, and after reaching out a few times, he emptied two plates, leaving only a piece of pine nut cake in the last plate. He picked up the teacup and drank it slowly.
Under the table, Xie Ce put down the wooden sword carefully, and climbed up on the stone table with two small hands again. Joy in.
He was much shorter than the table, so it was extremely laborious to hold on to the table. After determining the position of the snack, he reached for the snack, and his little face was struggling.
Nanny Tong secretly glanced at Yin Mingyu, and the other maids also held their breath subconsciously.
Everyone's heart tightened a little bit, just when his feet were about to leave the ground and he was about to reach the dim sum, suddenly, a white hand appeared above the dim sum.
Xie Ce watched helplessly as the last piece of dim sum disappeared, his eyes slowly filled with water, his mouth was deflated, and he finally cried out with a "wow—".
Yin Mingyu looked at the figure of Xie Ce running away, and the back of Nanny Tong and others chasing after him, and slowly stuffed the last piece of dessert into his mouth, "If you don't say it, how do I know what you want?"
Jin Er stood aside, silently sympathizing: Xiao Langjun is really pitiful...
Main courtyard hall—
Madam Xie was still pantothenic acid, "My great-grandmother is almost forgotten..."
Mrs. Xie was happy to see it succeed, and persuaded: "Ce'er is childlike, and it's just fun. The closest one is naturally you, but if we marry the daughter of the Yin family, don't we just hope she can stay with Ce'er?"
"Last time she taught Ce'er to fall."
Mrs. Xie said: "Yin's still has a sense of proportion."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Ce's cry spread into the room from far and near, and Mrs. Xie's face instantly turned black.
Mrs. Xie: "…"
Yin Shi... is really unsatisfactory.
