The Stepmother is Unkind

Yin Mingyu rationally reminded herself not to define others at will, but she was still slightly affected. Sitting next to Xie Qin, she was more or less uninterested, and she was not very happy to serve.

“Is this not to your taste?”

Yin Mingyu paused her chopstick movements and looked at Xie Qin.

Xie Qin did not look at her and was still eating attentively.

It was really “eating”. The so-called “light eating” did not show on his face at all. The beautiful maidservant like Hong Chou personally served him with food, as if it was just to fill his stomach.

He never said much in her impression. Xie Qin didn’t give her a look when he “bumped into” her at the gate of the di mother’s yard, but since their marriage yesterday, Xie Qin still said little, but his attitude has changed.

Was this change due to the identity of “wife”?

Yin Mingyu was tempted and said, “Langjun, I want to eat the spinach.”

Then she caught the surprise flashing on Hong Chou’s face who was serving at the side.

Xie Qin, however, looked at her with a sideways glance. His face had no waves and she could not see the implication.

Yin Mingyu wanted to know what his bottom line was towards his wife. She didn’t pretend to be a wooden man any more. She lowered her voice and seemed to be carefully questioning, “Langjun?”

After a moment, Xie Qin returned her glance, took the general use chopsticks from Hong Chou, and clamped a piece of spinach for her in the porcelain plate in front of her.

The general use chopsticks were neatly placed on the clean dishes. They never left the table again. Hong Chou seemed to be grasping a tray with a weight of a thousand gold in her hand, revealing her inner restlessness.

Xie Qin is too calm. Yin Mingyu glances over at Hong Chou carelessly, looks down at the green vegetables lying on the white porcelain plate, and picks them up and eats them while meditating.

After that, it was very quiet. Yin Mingyu didn’t ask for anything else to eat, and Xie Qin didn’t take the initiative to serve her food.

After dinner, the maid brought two cups of tea and presented it to them.

Xie Qin picked up the book that he had not read before, and with the other hand, he would drink from time to time from his cup, reading as if nobody were watching.

Later, when he was going to the main courtyard, Yin Mingyu sat beside him and drank some tea. She didn’t want to sit there any more, so she got up and went back to the inner room.

Jin’er and Yin’er followed her into the inner room. When the door was closed, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They looked back at the door and walked to Yin Mingyu.

Yin’er leaned against Yin Mingyu’s ears and said in a very low voice, “Miss, I’m afraid you will disturb the Langjun.”

Yin Mingyu sat in front of the dresser and the two organized her appearance, contemplating: “Don’t worry, I’ll continue observing……”

On the west side, Yin Mingyu came out of the inner room and directly interrupted, “Langjun, do you want to go to the main courtyard now?”

Xie Qin put down his book and started moving directly.

Yin Mingyu followed him and took the initiative to start the conversation, “Langjun, did Hong Chou return to the front yard?”

Xie Qin answered lightly, “en.”

“When she and Qingyu came to greet me in the daytime, I thought they were very lovely. When we just had dinner, we were surrounded by Hong Chou, which was really beautiful.”

Yin Mingyu is telling the truth in a very sincere tone.

“They are the maidservants of the East courtyard. If you like them, ask them to come back and serve you.”

His tone was so flat that Yin Mingyu’s eyes flashed and she couldn’t help asking: “Really?”

Xie Qin turned his head and there was clear certainty in his gaze.

He was telling her that there was no need to question what he said.

In this case, Yin Mingyu smiled and said, “Let’s ask them to come back to the East courtyard tomorrow. There’s nothing they need to do, just look at them in front of me and I’ll be happy.”

After the two arrived at the main courtyard, old Madam Xie was very kind to Xie Qin and had a flat attitude to Yin Mingyu, but she didn’t look cold.
