MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 21

In the big family, there are many servants, and many of the servants are very involved.

The Xie family has few masters, and it is a relatively simple family in the family, so it is still not exempt from the commonplace.

Mrs. Xie has been a housekeeper for many years. She usually takes care of internal affairs, and she has to consider one or two things. She pays equal attention to favors and prestige, clear rewards and punishments, and takes care of everything... in order to maintain the balance of the inner house.

Mrs. Xie was a housekeeper back then, and they were pretty much the same. They were used to thinking about things in a roundabout way, so Yin Mingyu's direct approach was obviously very effective, but it was too simple and straightforward, causing the two of them to lose their words for a while. .

Even when they were silent, they subconsciously wondered if she did this on purpose, deliberately hiding her deeds, and letting Ce'er's mother's handmaids make mistakes in order to get hold of them.

However, the image that Yin Mingyu has always shown, they don't feel the same. She may have really forgotten, and she has such a direct idea.

Mrs. Xie even remembered that when she mentioned the body deed last time, Yin Mingyu said "know", but she didn't care at that time, but now that I think about it, if the body deed was not given to her, and the mother did not mention it, how could she, a concubine, know.

Thinking like this, it's not really a lie.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie looked at each other, and then said to Yin Mingyu: "In this case, I will send Rouge to Zhuangzi according to you."

As for which Zhuangzi to send to...

Yin Mingyu is very single. She has no Zhuangzi, so she can arrange it anywhere. How Rouge will live in the future has nothing to do with her directly.

In this way, it is more logical to choose between the Zhuangzi of the Xie family and the dowry Zhuangzi of Yin Mingfu, and the dowry of Zhuangzi is more logical.

When the matter was over, Mrs. Xie said to Yin Mingyu, "Is it tired to go out today? Let's go back and rest."

She didn't ask Yin Mingyu where to look at the house. This is Yin Mingyu's own property purchase, which can be suggested but not interfered with.

And Mrs. Xie's mind was more on her great-grandson. Seeing that he was still in front of Yin Mingyu, a "naive" stepmother, she was suffocated, and she urged her to go back and told her not to come over at night.

Yin Mingyu resigned, and before leaving, he looked down at Xie Ce, hid his wicked eyes, showed a very contrived kind smile, and asked softly, "Little Langjun, do you want to give me candied fruit?"

Xie Ce was startled, his eyes gradually widened, and he shrank his hands subconsciously.

Yin Mingyu's smile became more and more gentle, and he raised his hand to touch Xie Ce's little head, and while he was distracted, he took away the candied haws with the other hand.

Xie Ce's hands were empty, and his little hands chased Tanghulu together, opening his mouth hastily: "No..."

Yin Mingyu saw tears welling up in his eyes, seized the opportunity, broke the bamboo stick, and put the bamboo stick with only one red fruit into his small hand.

Xie Ce's tears suddenly stopped in his eyes, staring blankly at the long sign in her hand, and then at his own, his mouth pouting slightly.

Of course Yin Mingyu would not stay here to continue to let him react, and he was blessed and left quickly.

Xie Ce held the bamboo stick in his little hand and looked at the door eagerly, as if he was reluctant to let her go.

Madam Xie was so embarrassed that she covered her chest, and in order to attract the attention of her great-grandson, she muttered: "The great-grandmother loves you so much, and she didn't even get a sugar gourd..."

But he only has one left...

Xie Ce clenched the bamboo stick tightly, looked at the lonely red fruit with tears in his eyes, and handed it to Mrs. Xie with great difficulty.

The farther away the candied haws were, the more tears were in his eyes, and his mouth was slumped down, which was extremely pitiful.

Mrs. Xie was depressed and waved her hand to let him eat. Seeing her great-grandson, she immediately burst into laughter and said angrily, "Teach Yin Shimo has come these few days, and I'm heartbroken when I see her."

Mrs. Xie agreed, but she had some considerations in her heart.

In fact, Rouge will be like that, which has a great relationship with the attitude of the masters of the Xie family. Some servants like to try to figure out the master's mind, but they can't figure it out clearly.

In fact, no matter how dissatisfied, Yin Mingyu is also Xie Qin's wife, the young lady the Xie family is marrying.

Mrs. Xie is an elder, and some words are unscrupulous, and the younger generation has to bear it, but the servants do not respect Yin Mingyu, even if there are no rules, even Mrs. Xie will not condone.

At this age, the old lady's attitude is hard to change, so she can only express her position.

That's why she left the main courtyard, so she let out a word, and used the rouge thing to beat the servants in the mansion, so that they should remember their respect and not be disrespectful to the young lady.

But the Xie family was strict with the family, and the servants in the mansion did not dare to neglect the young lady before, but after this incident, they were more alert.

Only the dowry servants of the eldest lady in the East Courtyard had an earth-shaking change in their mood.

Rouge is not an exception. Among the dowries, there are some people who, even if they haven't shown it, are more or less angry with Yin Mingyu, a prostitute who is married to the eldest lady.

In their opinion, Yin Mingyu used to be insignificant in front of the eldest lady. From only marrying to an ordinary family to marrying into the Xie family, the change of identity was all because of the eldest lady. Without the eldest lady, there would be no Yin Mingyu's current marriage.

And Yin Mingyu is not as good as the big lady everywhere, so naturally he can't calm down.

Even if they can think that the eldest lady and Yin Mingyu are both daughters of the Yin family, the root is in the family, and the second is that the eldest lady died early, and they still hold the injustice.

They couldn't recognize the reality, and they became cocooned, so that the matter of the body contract came back, knowing that Yin Mingyu easily controlled them, and the gap between the dowries was so great that they all wilted.

The happiest is Yin Mingyu's dowry.

Yin'er also deliberately pretended to be inadvertent and went out for a walk, and when she returned to the study, she couldn't hide her excitement: "Look at their previous arrogance, the lady should have been born long ago, so as to teach them to know whose future destiny is in their hands. inside."

Yin Mingyu added a long couch in the study. He didn't need to go to the main courtyard at night, so he changed his clothes and untied his hair, leaned on it comfortably, and said while drinking soup, "Why, were you angry before? Didn't they do anything? ?"

Yin'er said angrily: "That's not in front of you. The maids have not less seen their yin and yang's strange virtues."

"That's what I taught you for nothing." Yin Mingyu hooked his lips. "The more leisurely you are, the more sullen the people who don't look good to you, but they can't treat you like that. Are you angry?"

Yin'er rolled her eyes and laughed again, "It's better to show your contract later, what the lady wants to eat tomorrow morning, the maid will go to the dining room to let you know."

She didn't want to run errands, she clearly wanted to take the opportunity to go out and anger people.

Yin Mingyu smiled and said indulgently: "Hu spicy soup, with pancakes."

"Okay." Yin'er responded crisply, turned around and walked out briskly.

Jin'er smiled and watched her go out, then buried her head in sorting out the bookcase and placed Yin Mingyu's books on the bookshelf.

In the evening Xie Qin returned to the mansion, first went to the main courtyard to see Mrs. Xie, listened to some words, and then left the main courtyard and came to the east courtyard after a quarter of an hour.

Xie Qin walked into the study as usual, without mentioning rouge and other things, but noticed the newly added books on the bookshelf, and asked casually, "Is this your collection?"

Yin Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly, "Yes, seeing that the bookshelf was empty, I asked Jin'er to take it out."

Xie Qin stood by the bookshelf and looked at the book above, and saw a collection of poems with a peach blossom painted on the cover.

It is very similar to Yin Mingyu's temperament.

"A collection of your poems?"

"Yeah." Yin Mingyu was not afraid of showing ugliness, pretended to read a book, and said casually, "Lang Jun can read it casually."

Xie Qin then stretched out his hand to take down the poetry collection, found a page with a piece of paper on it from the side, and unfolded it directly from that page.

However, he hadn't read the poem carefully, and when he saw the drawing on the paper, he closed it with a "snap", and his voice was a little loud, not at all like his usual slow and polite attitude.

Yin Mingyu looked over innocently and asked, "Lang Jun, what's the matter?"

Xie Qin frowned slightly, and said in a cold voice, "How can you put this kind of painting in the study?"

"What painting?" Yin Mingyu put down the book and walked over to take the book from his hand.

Xie Qin shook his hand, then let go and looked away.

Yin Mingyu opened the poetry collection and put on a surprised look, "A picture of avoiding fire, perhaps Jin'er forgot to put it away, this careless girl."

"But..." Yin Mingyu looked at Xie Qin curiously, "It's just to avoid fire and ward off evil spirits, shouldn't it be hung up? Langjun won't put it in the study, where should it be placed?"

Xie Qin's Adam's apple moved slightly and frowned, "You are more serious."

Really old fashioned?

Yin Mingyu put the book back on the shelf and said solemnly, "Yes."

Seeing that she hadn't put away the painting, Xie Qin frowned even more, "It's not etiquette."

Yin Mingyu ignored him, turned around and walked out. As he walked, he asked outside, "Jin'er, is dinner ready?"

Jin'er pushed open the door and replied, "Miss, it's ready."

Yin Mingyu stepped out and instructed her, "Please go to dinner."

Jin Er then respectfully invited Xie Qin to have dinner.

Xie Qin swept through the greatly changed study. In just over a month, Yin Mingyu added many items with her own characteristics, all of which were arranged according to her preferences.

I don't know if it is domineering without knowing it, or knowing it because I am.

Xie Qin glanced at the poetry collection again, then quickly moved away, coughed lightly, and walked out of the study.

After the meal, Xie Qin did not move, and seemed to plan to stay overnight.

Yin Mingyu pretended not to know, covered his lips and yawned, and said, "Langjun, I'm running around today and I'm very tired, so I won't accompany you."

Xie Qin was as cold as ice in an instant, and the air-conditioning all over his body seemed to have substance.

Yin Mingyu said without a wink, "Lang Jun?"

Naturally, Xie Qin would not act so hard to force a woman, but seeing Yin Mingyu's demeanor, he felt a little sullen because he was being teased.

Yin Mingyu looked at his back, rubbed his chin, and said to himself, "Did you misunderstand my hint?"

There are not many virtuous wives like her, and they also take care of Lang Jun's self-esteem.
