MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 49
In the middle of the night, after a tossing, the cold air invaded, and the whole body was completely cold.
Yin Mingyu was relieved, returned to the bed, pulled the quilt up, wrapped it tightly around his neck, and lay there with his eyes closed, brewing sleepiness.
Before going to bed, Xie Qindao Zhucao was restless and did not stay in the mansion.
Yin Mingyu agreed and fell back asleep not long after.
On the second day, Yin Mingyu came back from the main hall, and after having breakfast, he taught people to bring Zhu Cao to the main hall, and then called Xi Lan and Shiliu over.
And when the red grass man appeared, she was surprised.
Although Zhu Cao's appearance was not very outstanding before, she was also a beautiful woman, but at this time her face was thin, her eyes were dark, her spirit was lethargic, and she looked like she was several years old.
When she came in, her feet were sluggish, and she was supported by two maids when she walked. When the maids let go, she fell to the ground, kneeling in a trance, as if isolated, and did not speak rudely.
The four maids Jin'er, Yin'er, Qingyu, and Red Silk were also amazed when they saw her like this, while Xilan's face was calm, while Pomegranate glanced away and did not dare to look at her.
Yin Mingyu put away his surprise, turned to Xi Lan, and asked, "Aren't you going to give people food?"
Xi Lan bowed her head respectfully, denying: "Mrs Hui, I deliver meals as usual every day."
"Then why is that?"
"In the daytime, she often falls asleep and does not wake up. The little maid brings food in and wakes her up. She is also drowsy and can't eat much." Xi Lan glanced at the vermilion grass and said, "Now it seems that Xu She's more energetic at night."
Therefore, Zhucao turned day and night upside down, slept drowsily during the day, and cried at night when they woke up. This is why the maids in the East Court were taught that they occasionally heard "ghost crying" at night, thinking they were haunted.
Yin Mingyu: "…"
Pretty comedic.
Zhu Cao seems to be out of energy, but he is awake and can do business.
Yin Mingyu sat on the master's seat, looked at her, and said, "Langjun said, I will give you two choices. You are allowed to remarry or go to Zhuangzi. I will ask you again today, what choice do you choose?"
Zhu Cao turned a deaf ear and sat on the ground staring blankly at the ground.
Yin Mingyu's expression remained unchanged, and he said to Xilan, "Help her wake up."
Xi Lan went out for a while, and when she came back, holding a handkerchief soaked in cold water, she squatted beside the vermillion grass, reaching out to wipe her face.
However, just as Pazi was about to touch Zhu Cao's face, Zhu Cao raised her head angrily, stretched out her hand mercilessly and pushed Xi Lan away, "Go away!"
Xi Lan was caught off guard, fell directly, and fell to the ground.
Pomegranate was startled and immediately went to Fu Xilan.
Jin'er and Yin'er reacted quickly to block in front of Yin Mingyu to prevent Zhucao from hurting Yin Mingyu, Qingyu and Hongsi also approached immediately, staring at Zhucao alertly.
Yin Mingyu was protected by a few girls behind him. A smile flashed in his eyes. After a while, he straightened his expression and said, "Zhu Cao, why are you treating Xi Lan like this?"
Pomegranate helped Xi Lan to stand up and looked at Zhu Cao angrily.
Zhu Cao seemed to be awakened by Xi Lan, no longer stunned before, with a sad and smiling expression, and a bit madly muttering: "Back to the master, disgusting, stay away from me..."
"You!" Pomegranate was angry and wanted to come forward to reason.
Xi Lan grabbed her and whispered, "Don't be indifferent in front of the young lady, don't pay attention to her."
Pomegranate clenched his fists and stared at Zhucao for a while before he held his breath.
Zhu Cao was still muttering and saying, "You guys are sorry for the big lady", which almost angered Pomegranate again, and was pressed down by the equally angry Xi Lan.
Yin Mingyu watched coldly, and when she saw Xi Lan stopping Pomegranate, Zhu Cao's eyes flashed a trace of disappointment.
She is pretending to be crazy.
Really restless for a moment.
Is such a person really loyal to the eldest lady?
Yin Mingyu said slowly: "Originally, I wanted to look at the big sister's sake and not care about you..."
Zhu Cao suddenly laughed a few times, then pointed at her, with a tone of exposing her true face, and sternly accused: "You don't lie anymore! I'm not as stupid as others."
Yin'er stepped forward angrily and said, "You dare to be disrespectful to our lady!"
Zhu Cao sneered at the corner of his mouth, and glanced at Xi Lan and Shiliu meaningfully, and then said without fear of death: "You have a contract, but you don't tell it, you deliberately lead Rouge to make a mistake, so that she can be disposed of, now it's your turn again. Me, it should be the two of them after that, right?"
Yin'er retorted: "You are talking nonsense!"
"Yin'er." Yin Mingyu stopped her and said calmly, "You ask her to continue."
Yin'er glared at her fiercely and took a step back.
"Second lady, do you think I dare not say anything? I'm not afraid of anything anymore. I must expose your true face today."
Zhu Cao looked crazy and shouted fearlessly, as if he really was a loyal and heroic figure who put everything aside.
"You are a person who has a good face and a bad heart, and hides a traitor inside, all for the sake of getting rid of the eldest lady!"
"It's us first, then Xiao Langjun!" This is what the eldest lady's companions care about the most, and Pomegranate's expression has changed a bit.
And Zhu Cao is still provoking, "Now there are the old lady and the lady taking care of Xiaolangjun, and when she wins the trust of the two ladies, she will kill Xiaolangjun to make way for her own child! By then, The eldest lady has knowledge under the spring, and she will definitely not be peaceful!"
Yin Mingyu can provoke things so plausibly that Yin Mingyu didn't do it, but if she doesn't say it, some people think too much.
She also deliberately said to Xilan and Shiliu that the more sensible might know that she was provoking, but it was inevitable that some people would keep it in their hearts and have other thoughts.
She is so crazy!
Qingyu and Hongsi had angry expressions on their faces, and Jin'er and Yin'er's protector were even more angry.
Yin'er gritted her teeth and looked like she might rush to smash her mouth at any time.
Everyone in the main room has different thoughts, and the tense atmosphere seems to be on the verge of breaking out.
"Huh~"
The sudden laughter interrupted Jin'er and Yin'er's anger, and also broke the tense emotions of others.
All the maids looked towards the source of the laughter.
Yin Mingyu was amused by Zhu Cao, everyone looked over, and her smile didn't stop immediately.
Zhu Cao's pride and happiness were diluted, and she couldn't help but ask, "What are you laughing at?"
The curvature of the corner of Yin Mingyu's mouth remained unchanged, "Laughing at you, it's quite accurate, but it's not complete."
Zhu Cao looked startled, as if she didn't expect her to say that.
Not only her, but also the others, all with surprise on their faces.
"What do you mean by good face and evil heart?"
Yin Mingyu quickly stopped laughing and said lightly, "Zhangzui."
"Yes, madam." Yin'er was waiting, and upon hearing this, she rolled up her sleeves and stepped forward.
Zhu Cao subconsciously retreated.
Jin'er stepped forward and was about to help Yin'er hold her down, but Hong Silk hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to help.
The three of them, especially the red silk, were delicate and pretty, but at this moment they gathered around Zhucao, like a bully.
Yin Mingyu covered his eyes as if he couldn't bear it any longer and said, "It's pitiful to see, teach people to be unbearable."
Hong Silk didn't know her well enough, thinking that she had changed her mind again, and stopped involuntarily.
Jin'er Yin'er continued to move forward.
At this time, Yin Mingyu said mildly and indifferently, "Pull it into the yard to fight."
Four maids other than Jin'er and Yin'er and a vermillion grass: "..."
I thought she was going to be generous...
Yin'er responded loudly, and together with Jin'er, pulled the red grass out.
Zhu Cao came back to his senses and struggled hard until he was pressed against the cold floor tiles. The teacher felt a chill, and the timidity in his heart came up a little bit. He clearly didn't have the previous preference to die, but he still held his neck and shouted: "I am the first. Madam, if you treat me like this, you are not afraid of Manfu..."
Yin Mingyu picked up the teacup and said lightly, "Hit." He drank tea unhurriedly.
"Snapped!"
Yin'er slapped down and interrupted Zhu Cao's words directly, "Instigating right and wrong? Still pretending to be a ghost! Today, I will teach you what is 'good face and evil heart' on behalf of our lady!"
Then, she slapped slap after slap, not giving Zhu Cao a chance to continue talking at all.
The servants of the East Court looked around, shocked to see Yin'er, who was usually lively and pleasant, smiling at everyone, and Jin'er and Jin'er, who had a calm face and helped Yin'er hold down the red grass. There was a panicked red silk on his face.
Every time Yin'er slapped, Hong Silk would tremble, but she wanted to hide away from her upper body, and the hand holding Zhu Cao was definitely not loose at all.
Her contrast is really cute, Yin Mingyu couldn't help laughing.
In the main room, the third maid looked at the young lady, who had not worried about everything since she got married, but she could still laugh, and she felt a little scared in her heart.
Pomegranate stood beside Xi Lan, clutching her sleeve tightly.
If it was before, she would probably hurt her with something, but Zhu Cao's words and deeds today really make people unable to sympathize.
Yin Mingyu glanced at Xilan and Shiliu without a trace, put down the teacup, and calmly stopped Yin'er and the others: "Pull in."
Yin'er withdrew her hands with a cold face, but quietly rubbed her hands on her skirt behind her back, concealing the panic of hitting someone for the first time.
As soon as Jin'er and Hong Shu entered the room, they let go, and the red grass fell to the ground. Tears could not stop flowing down the corners of their eyes.
Jin'er and Yin'er calmly returned to their original position, while Hong Su walked slightly behind Qingyu and leaned against her.
Yin Mingyu looked at Zhu Cao and asked with a smile: "You might as well guess, did I deliberately let you come to me and say something offended me so that I could deal with you?"
Zhu Cao lay on the ground, trembling.
"You will give yourself a boost." Yin Mingyu said contemptuously, "Do I still need a reason to deal with you?"
Yin'er sneered heavily from the side, and the voice could be heard clearly in the main room.
Good silver, the play is a bit over.
Yin Mingyu suppressed the urge to hold his forehead and lowered his face coldly, "What is my identity? It's not your turn to dictate.
She didn't sell the vermilion grass, this kind of maid, who was rejected by the master, was sold, perhaps to go to that kind of pickled place.
The other maids also knew the outcome of being sold. The young lady seemed harsh and cruel, but she was actually magnanimous and repaid her grievances with virtue.
Qingyu and Hongsi were already respectful to Yin Mingyu, and Xilan also knew the situation clearly, only Pomegranate, saddened by the death of the eldest lady, saddened that Lang Jun and Mrs. Jishao became more harmonious, not worth it for the eldest lady, and felt unwilling.
But at this time, Er Niangzi is not as hateful as Zhucao said, and even they are still doing the same errands as before, is it true that they are willing to be like Zhucao Rouge?
Finally let go of it.
Yin Mingyu ordered someone to send Zhu Cao away, and taught Xi Lan and Shiliu to continue their work.
When Yin'er waited for the two of them to leave, she exaggeratedly grabbed her hand and said in a grief-stricken manner, "Miss, you just have to send her away, why bother?"
Send it away directly, what a waste.
Yin Mingyu did not avoid Qingyu and Red Silk, and joked: "If you don't teach Xilan and Shiliu to be convinced and work honestly, what do you do?"
When Yin'er heard it, she shook her head like a rattle, "Then let them work diligently."
Jin'er also had a deep understanding on her face.
Qingyu and Hongsi listened, and there was something wrong in their hearts, and there was an illusion that they were both old scalpers.
Yin Mingyu caught a glimpse of the expressions of the two of them, and remembered the frightened state of Hong Cai just now, like a playboy, holding the hand of the red silk, "Good red silk, follow me in the future, I will definitely take care of you."
Red Silk's beautiful eyes blinked, and she responded softly, "Yes, young lady~"
Yin Mingyu had to give her all her heart at this time.
After Hong Su and Qingyu left the main room, they couldn't help touching their own faces, and sighed at Qingyu while smiling, "I never thought that one day, they would use a face to charm their mistress."
Qingyu: "…"
You look so proud, what's going on?
