MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 59

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie are already sitting in the warm pavilion.

Yin Mingyu smiled and saluted without panic.

Asking for peace to teach the elders to wait, but Bai Zhixu was a little uneasy, so he hurried forward to pay his respects and explained: "My mother and I have traveled thousands of miles to my grandfather's house, and once we were at ease, we slept too well and woke up late. Waiting with my aunt."

The fact is that after waking up in the morning, Mrs. aunt dawdled, saying that it was not the time for the Xie family to greet her, so there was no need to hurry.

She didn't know the Xie family like the auntie did, but she was actually uneasy. Because of the auntie's words, she believed the auntie's words with suspicion.

I met Yin Mingyu, my cousin, outside. Yin Mingyu was gentle and told them a few jokes. Bai Zhixu's heart was relieved, but he didn't expect that Mrs. Xie was already there.

She didn't complain about her mother, she only complained that she didn't force her when she was dawdling. If she asked, her aunt would definitely obey.

And she thought so much, but Mrs. Xie just pointed to Yin Mingyu and smiled: "If you come in with her, the time will only be right, how can it be too late."

Yin Mingyu smiled and did not refute.

Seeing her like that, Mrs. Xie snorted lightly, but there was no blame in her eyes.

They are not intimate, but they seem relaxed.

Yesterday, Bai Zhixu noticed something, but because he was a first-timer, he was nervous and didn't think about it carefully. At this time, he was very surprised when he saw the atmosphere between the three generations of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the grandfather's family.

Mrs. Xie said to Yin Mingyu again: "The account from my hometown was also delivered yesterday, and you can see it when you go back."

Things have been prepared for a long time, and arrangements have been made, Yin Mingyu will no longer worry about it, so he nodded calmly, and then deliberately pretended to be weak and said that she would go back to "work" in a while.

Mrs. Xie was amused when she saw her reluctant laziness.

But apart from Xie Ce in the Xie family, she was the youngest, and she was usually measured, so she couldn't help but pamper her a little bit, so she waved her hand to teach her to go whenever she wanted.

Yin Mingyu and the crowd talked for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

Madam Xie said, "Have a mutton pot for dinner."

When Yin Mingyu heard this, he laughed, "Then the granddaughter-in-law came earlier."

"I heard the sheep bark just now?" Madam Xie said, "Don't bring it over at night, when Jiao Ce'er sees it, she has to bring it into the house again."

Yin Mingyu said with a smile: "I definitely won't bring it. Wan Xiaolang is going to take the sheep to watch us eat the mutton pot and share it with him. Isn't this embarrassing the sheep?"

When the auntie heard this, she widened her eyes and looked at Yin Mingyu.

She is not stupid, she had some doubts when she heard it at first, but because she never thought that the rules and regulations would be like the Xie family, there would be people joking, so that's why she believed it.

I really thought that my niece was cruel and terrible.

Now that she knew that her niece was actually teasing her, she immediately looked at Yin Mingyu with a face of accusation.

On the other hand, she is a little rounder and looks very young. With such an expression, it does not seem awkward at all, but it teaches people to be unbearable to her.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

Before meeting her auntie, she had never seen such a charming and natural middle-aged woman.

Mrs. Xie was a little strange to see the concubine sawing a gourd today, but seeing her look at Yin Mingyu with such an expression was even more inexplicable.

Mrs. Xie also asked with some doubts: "What's wrong?"

Bai Zhixu quickly explained: "grandmother, aunt, nothing, just my cousin said a joke, I didn't take it seriously, but my mother took it seriously."

Madam Xie asked, "What's the joke?"

Bai Zhixu glanced at Yin Mingyu and told the truth.

If Mrs. Xie didn't know that "sheep sees roasted sheep" was actually just Xie Ce's naive move, if she only heard about this, she must have thought it was Yin Mingyu's nonsense.

But on a prostitute, it seems to fit her temperament, no surprise, it's like a situation that she can appear in.

However, Mrs. Xie glanced at the concubine's expression and taught Yin Mingyu a lesson: "Look at you, there is nothing deep or shallow here, don't eat the mutton pot, and stay in your courtyard for a few days to reflect."

It was wrong that she recognized her, but she hadn't been restrained for a long time, Yin Mingyu couldn't believe it.

Bai Zhixu was afraid of having a grudge with his cousin, so he dared to let his grandmother punish his cousin, so he quickly spoke for her: "grandmother, it's really just a joke, don't punish my cousin..."

Yin Mingyu came back to her senses and interrupted her: "Cousin doesn't need to intercede for me, it's because I have no sense, I should be punished, don't intercede for me."

Bai Zhixu thought she was being polite, and in turn persuaded: "Cousin-in-law, don't blame yourself, it's really not a big deal."

In order to corroborate her own words, she also took the initiative to expose her mother's shortcomings, "My mother did not dare to sleep alone because she was afraid of the dark. She had to be accompanied at night, and she was timid."

Auntie: "..." This is her own daughter.

Yin Mingyu looked at the sullenness on her aunt's face, and she also refreshed her impression of this cousin of the Bai family, but in this cold weather, she was really happy to be grounded.

After Bai Zhixu persuaded Yin Mingyu, he went to persuade Mrs. Xie.

Yin Mingyu hurriedly interrupted her and said to Mrs. Xie directly: "Grandmother, grandson-in-law will go back to ground. Don't worry, grandson-in-law must reflect on it."

Mrs. Xie waved, Yin Mingyu saluted and resigned. Before leaving, she saw Bai Zhixu still looking uneasy, and said comfortably, "Nothing, I'll invite my cousin to play in the East Courtyard in a few days."

Seeing that she didn't seem to mind, Bai Zhixu immediately smiled and agreed.

Yin Mingyu turned to his aunt again, smiled and said, "Aunt, it's my niece Wuwu, please forgive me. If you have nothing to do, you can also come and sit with me."

Seeing Yin Mingyu smiling, my aunt still felt that this niece was different from the Xie family she had always known. She nodded with a dry smile, her movements a little stiff.

Yin Mingyu then withdrew.

The inside and outside of the Warm Pavilion are completely two worlds. Yin Mingyu wears very thick clothes, but from the short walk from going out to picking up her sheep, her whole body is completely cold.

She didn't make any further detours, and quickly returned to the East Courtyard. After drinking a bowl of **** soup with the maids, she took off her clothes and lay on the bed. Thinking of Mrs. aunt and Bai Zhixu, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

I thought Xu was going to be a little troublesome before, but I didn't expect such a temper.

The four maids, Jin'er, Yin'er, Qingyu, and Hongsi, were fighting against the mountain-like ledger. They looked up to see the smile on their young lady's face and looked at each other.

And the red silk has been following the reckoning for a few days. Even if the earth dragon in the main house is on fire, the house is warm like spring, and there are tea and snacks. It is more comfortable than outside, and it still looks like a punishment.

She looked at Yin Mingyu's expression and saw that she was in a good mood, so she asked, "Young madam, why don't you teach your maid to read for you? It's really not good for a maid to settle accounts."

Yin Mingyu is not really hard-hearted. Since she has tried it, it is still not suitable for this task, so she is not forced.

But if she didn't do so many ledgers, Jin'er and the others would inevitably have too many tasks, so they said, "Red Silk, if you can find someone to replace you, you don't need to settle accounts."

As soon as Hong Silk was overjoyed, she began to think about candidates.

Yin Mingyu turned around and flipped through the book leisurely, without telling her more.

It was Qingyu who reminded Hong Su in a low voice: "Go to Xilan, you can recruit her for the lady, you are also familiar with the errands in the east courtyard, and you can do it easily."

Both of them were originally the servant girls in the East Courtyard. Later, the eldest lady changed to her own servant servant girls, and she didn't like them, so they came to the front yard.

After the young lady came, Xi Lan was still used, and even when they were brought back, they only did some idle errands.

Unlike Jin'er and Yin'er, they didn't dare to be idle. At first, they were very happy when the young lady paid attention to helping them settle accounts, but it was really impossible for Red Silk to do it.

After listening to Qingyu's words, Hong Silk turned to the young lady. Seeing that she was focusing on the book without refuting, she immediately put down her abacus and went out to find Xi Lan.

And Xi Lan is indeed in charge of the whole East Court, but anyone who looks at it will know that Jin'er and Yin'er are the most caring people around Mrs. The red man in front of the young lady.

Of course she was a little uneasy.

At this time, Hong Shu suddenly came over and said that she was asked to help the young lady with the accounting. Of course, Xi Lan was willing to do so. Even when Hong Shu said she wanted to help her share some of the errands in the courtyard, she did not hesitate to share. .

Afterwards, Xi Lan followed the red silk to the main room and saluted respectfully: "Young Madam."

Yin Mingyu looked up from the book, nodded with a smile, and glanced at Jin'er and Yin'er again.

In Jin'er Yin'er's eyes, Xi Lan didn't come to share the favor, but to help them share the chores.

So Jin Erji took the initiative to invite her to sit, and distributed some more books to her. Yin'er also greeted her warmly: "Sister Xilan, the tea and snacks are prepared by the lady for us, you can use it casually."

Xi Lan was rather flattered and sat in the seat of the red silk before, and it took a while to calm down.

She doesn't feel that there are too many ledgers at all. In order to perform, she works very hard and is much more efficient than Red Silk.

Yin Mingyu was half leaning on the bed, holding a book in his hand, the corners of his mouth raised.

Why is it so hard, the work can't be done, and if you use the people under her hands well, she will take over the housekeeping power of the Xie family sooner or later, and she doesn't have to do everything herself.

Hearing the abacus of several maids in his ears, Yin Mingyu fell asleep.

Although she couldn't eat Mrs. Xie's mutton pot at night, she didn't need to ask for her peace, so she slid down, lifted the quilt, and fell asleep peacefully.

When she woke up again, there was no sound of abacus in the room, and the sky was a little dark.

Yin Mingyu woke up and called Jin'er Yin'er.

Jin'er and Yin'er didn't come over immediately, and it was Xie Qin who opened the curtain and walked in, "Are you up?"

It was said that at the end of the year, Xie Qin came to the East Court for two days in a row.

Yin Mingyu picked up the Ru skirt beside the bed and asked, "Aren't you busy today, Langjun?"

"Your Majesty has a lot of former close ministers, but you don't have to have me in everything."

Xie Qin picked up the teapot and poured two glasses of water, one in front of him and one across the table.

When Yin Mingyu heard this, he rolled his eyes and asked, "How is Lang Jun's popularity among his colleagues?"

Xie Qin looked up, knowing what she wanted to hear, and said, "My colleagues are all polite to me."

This is extremely normal. With Xie Qin's indifferent temperament, he won't be too warm with people.

He also has an excellent family background, and he is talented in learning. He is probably something that many people want to keep away from, and he is not even sure if his jealousy is hidden.

Yin Mingyu picked up the cup, drank it, followed Xie Qin to the outside, and saw the copper stove on the table, surprised, "Why is there a copper stove?"

"My grandmother taught people to send it to the East Court."

Yin Mingyu laughed, "Grandma is the most soft-hearted."

Xie Qin lifted his hem, sat down, and asked, "Are you grounded again?"

Yin Mingyu nodded, but didn't hide what she did, she said everything.

Xie Qin frowned slightly and reminded: "Aunt is an elder after all, even if she has a bit of temper... but also respect."

Yin Mingyu could hear it, and promised, "I will be careful in the future."

At this time, the maids came in with meat and various vegetables, and Yin'er also held a plate of soaked fungus and said, "Ma'am, this is what we picked on Zhuangzi earlier."

Xie Qin didn't pay much attention, but the chopsticks caught the fungus several times.

Yin Mingyu didn't think that it tasted more delicious when he picked it himself, and the rain and dew were soaked, and then suddenly said: "Lang Jun has thought that, if the aunt is like this, it may be that the elders will not treat her?"

Yin Mingyu is quite experienced in this regard. Didn't she see that Xie's family had such a correct temperament, so she always expanded flexibility for herself?

When Xie Qin heard her, he looked up at her and said sharply, "Are you talking about yourself?"

Yin Mingyu did not deny it, and looked at Xie Qin with his chin: "Lang Jun understands me now?"

Xie Qin said lightly: "Only the Xie family can do this for you."

Yin Mingyu lowered his eyes.
