The Stepmother is Unkind

The Xie family has a profound background, and the family style is upright. If you hold it too much, there is a deep estrangement.

When the rumors of Mrs. Xie's young lady's affair were discussed in Beijing, the image of the Xie family quietly changed. When the Xie family caused a heated discussion because Yin Mingyu was in Beijing for the second time, the image of the Xie family had undergone earth-shaking changes.

It's like walking from the moon palace to the mundane world, and people find that they will make some troubles and jokes like ordinary people, so they feel less distance.

The Xie family is indeed only loyal to the emperor. Emperor Zhao promoted him to be the right minister, which is also a manifestation of the mutual relationship between the ruler and the minister, but accompanying the king is like a tiger. The servants are more at ease.

Between Emperor Zhao and the Xie family's monarchs and ministers, most of them only talk about business, and even a few chats are like business.

It was rare for Emperor Zhao to speak and ridicule. The head of the Xie family had been an official for many years, and he was very keen to find the opportunity. The staff of the Xie family suggested that at least in front of Emperor Zhao, there was a little embarrassment in the mature and serious, so as to make the head of the Xie family more like a duck to water. .

This is embarrassing to thank the owner.

But in fact, because of the folk jokes, the Xie family head doesn't even need to do much, as long as he is more silent at certain times, many people will naturally add comments to his behavior.

The effect is really good, but every time, Xie Patriarch is really speechless.

However, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Xie family asked Emperor Zhao for instructions to release Xie Qin.

Emperor Zhao looked a little surprised, but then he was moved, and he suddenly mentioned: "I have vaguely heard that Chu Qing, the tanhua Lang of Jing Ming's same department, is about to be released to Lingnan?"

Seeing that Emperor Zhao would pay attention to Chu He's whereabouts, the head of the Xie family said calmly and truthfully, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Inunzi and Chu Yaoqing are in the same department and have a good relationship. I listened to Inuzi's words. It just so happens that there is a vacancy in the personnel department."

"How did you choose Lingnan? It's really far away."

If the power of the Yixie family in the DPRK is active, there will definitely be a better place to go.

Xie Patriarch was silent for a while.

Emperor Zhao had seen him look like this a few times these days, and he suddenly raised some interest and asked, "What is the reason for this?"

The Xie family master replied in a somewhat disapproving and incomprehensible tone: "Chu Yaoqing has an unruly temperament, and he chose to go to the south just for the sake of seeing the Great Ye rivers and mountains."

In other words, it's for swimming.

Emperor Zhao suddenly laughed loudly, "What a bohemian Tanhua Lang!"

And Emperor Zhao laughed, Fang jokingly said: "Xie Qing, don't be too old-fashioned, young people are like this, doesn't it mean that my country is peaceful and peaceful?"

The head of the Xie family bowed to agree and praised Da Ye Taiping.

As for Xie Qin's release, Emperor Zhao did not directly veto it, but only taught Xie Qin not to rush back to the court and to take care of his injuries first.

This is actually not against Xie Qin's release, but it is not known when and where.

Xie Qin was not in a hurry. Since he didn't need to return to the court, he slowed down and enjoyed the rare leisure time since he could remember.

Just as the spring season was approaching, Xie Qin knew that the peach blossoms painted by Han Jing had no special meaning to Yin Mingyu, but he was still a little inconvenient for Han Jing, so he taught him to come to Xie's house every day for "instruction".

Yin Minglin was also unable to escape for a day. Every day, he and Han Jing came to Xie Jiadian Mao on time. Because the spring season was particularly important, the whole family asked him to pay attention to Han Jing, and joked that he was Han Jing's "accompanying reader".

It's a pity that Han Jing suffered from the pressure and torment of Chunwei, so he didn't want to joke at all, and was losing weight day by day.

Yin Minglin was worried that Han Jing was too tense under Xie Qin's high pressure. In order to help him ease his emotions, he deliberately accused him of being "strict" under Xie Qin's icy gaze.

So Xie Qin would leave him more homework to satisfy his greedy demands.

Yin Minglin: "…"

He clearly did not have any greedy demands.

Han Jing was amused by Yin Minglin, but he was actually very grateful to Xie Qin. For him, Xie Qin's strictness gave him guidance and taught him to be at ease while reading hard.

When Yin Minglin heard these words for the first time, he looked at Han Jing very strangely. The next day, he went to Xie Qin to ask for more "guidance" for Han Jing, so as to comfort him for the torture he suffered because of his self-love.

Han Jing: "…"

Although under high pressure, both of them made rapid progress, but...both lost.

And Xie Qin, as the senior of Zhegui in the Toad Palace, looked at the frowning expressions of the two at this time, and he could actually understand the joy of Chu He serving as the school supervisor in Guozijian.

During this period, Xie Qin personally sent away Chu He, who was sent to Lingnan.

When he returned from outside the city that day, he casually asked Yin Mingyu what he thought about the release.

Yin Mingyu thought that Xie Qin asked this question because he was separated from his friends, so he comforted him casually: "Lingnan is a bit far away, but it's really boring to stay in the capital, and the right should be touring the mountains and waters."

Xie Qin heard the words and said softly, "If you can see the scenery of Da Ye, it will be a life in vain."

Yin Mingyu nodded, of course it would be good if she could play, but Lingnan was too far away, so she had to rush to take up the post. She is a pleasure-seeking person, thank you for not being sensitive.

These years have been very slow, and there is no time to see each other again. She can only express her blessings to Chu He in her heart.

And Xie Qin thought that he had confirmed her attitude, and nodded: "In this way, I will know."

Yin Mingyu didn't know what he knew, and was about to ask when the maid came in and reported that Mrs. Xie invited her.

The conversation between the two ended, Yin Mingyu got up and went to the West Courtyard, while Xie Qin thought that the release had not yet been decided, so he decided to leave it to her to surprise her in the future.

Mrs. Xie asked Yin Mingyu for two things. One was the birthday banquet of the old lady of the Liu family on the fifth day of the second lunar month, which gave her and Bai Zhixu a new face;

On the fifth day of the second lunar month, Yin Mingyu and Bai Zhixu wore new heads and went to Liu's house with Madam Xie.

Very different from the last time, the current Xie family's chief official is to the right, higher than Liu Shangshu, and the attitudes of each family have also changed.

On the other hand, today's Yin Mingyu is also different from the bride who first married into the Xie family last time. She is a well-known savvy lady in the city. Even though she has a smiling face and is dignified and polite, the eyes of all the family members looking at her are quite complicated. .

From Yin Erniangzi to Mrs. Xie Shao to today's "White Fox Heroine", the impression she brings to everyone is always new.

Everyone seemed to have concerns, so they left after greeting, and they glanced over from time to time when they left.

It was clearly the birthday banquet of the Liu family, but the three of the Xie family were a bit rude, even if it wasn't their original intention.

Mrs. Xie didn't want Yin Mingyu to be around to affect her communication, so she taught her to take Bai Zhixu elsewhere, and said in a high-sounding manner: "Second Niang, you bring Zhixu to meet some young ladies, you don't have to stay by my side."

Yin Mingyu's smile remained unchanged, as if he did not see Madam Xie's intention to get rid of her, Yifu walked away with Bai Zhixu behind him.

The Liu family was the host, so Mrs. Liu should have smoothed the game or taught Liu Erniang and Liu Sanniang to do their best as a landlord, but she didn't say no, and asked her daughter Liu Sanniang to go elsewhere to entertain the spoiled guests.

This is somewhat obvious.

Bai Zhixu followed Yin Mingyu, pursed his lips, and said a little injustly: "Cousin-in-law, they seem to be avoiding you..."

Yin Mingyu saw it, but she didn't admit it, and called the deer a horse: "It's because you are so handsome that the little ladies are afraid of walking with you and eclipsed."

Seeing that she was still in the mood to joke, Bai Zhixu was in a state of powerlessness, and his eyes were filled with "As long as the sister-in-law is happy".

After Yin Mingyu reversed black and white, seeing her expression, she was a little bit ridiculous, so he held her hand and said with a smile: "Today I'm mainly taking you out to meet people, don't worry about that."

Bai Zhixu nodded, his eyes fell behind her, he paused, and asked, "Cousin-in-law, is that someone you know?"

When Yin Mingyu turned around, he saw Mrs. Qi and Mrs. Wen bringing them together, the two sides looked at each other, and nodded to them.

Madam Qi was still so beautiful that she felt oppressed, so she went straight to the subject and said, "I heard about you, that hateful kidnapper should be taught a lesson."

Mrs. Wen also nodded, and said with a look of hatred and hatred: "I also went to the Lantern Festival that day, but unfortunately I didn't meet the second lady, otherwise I must help you kick the kidnapper a few times, so as to teach these wicked people that the little lady and the child also It's not something that can be abducted at will."

Bai Zhixu looked at her petite and gentle appearance, and then listened to her contrasting words, his eyes widened slightly.

While they were talking, the Fourth Lady Jiang also brought Jiang He over.

Jiang Siniang was generous and generous, while Jiang He glanced at Bai Zhixu and called out "Cousin-in-law" awkwardly.

And a few of them approached Yin Mingyu like some kind of signal, and soon other ladies came over and talked around Yin Mingyu and the others.

When did Bai Zhi speak among so many ladies, Xu smelled the fragrance of the powder, and heard the voices of the ladies in his ears, and his head was dizzy.

In fact, Yin Mingyu was right in saying something. She used to be in Yangzhou, and she did offend people because of her appearance and talked to her mother, and she was not very proud among the little ladies. This was the first time.

So much so that in addition to knowing Xu Taoran, Bai Zhi admired his cousin who was able to do it with ease.

Yin Mingyu is not too noisy. She enjoys being surrounded by little ladies. She glanced at that one and this one again. While reviewing the previous villain's heart, she regretted that she did not have three heads and six arms, so she was impartial and rainy.

In the distance, Mrs. Pingnan Hou happened to ask about Bai Zhixu. Mrs. Xie turned her head and saw Yin Mingyu among the ladies, smiled slightly, and then instructed the maid to call Bai Zhixu.

Bai Zhixu came out and walked to Mrs. Xie's side, the scent still lingering on the tip of his nose.

Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "I know, this is Mrs. Pingnanhou."

Bai Zhixu listened to the three words "Pingnan Hou", and his smile froze for a moment before he saluted.

Mrs. Xie noticed her inconspicuous change at that moment, and was thoughtful.

But Mrs. Pingnan Hou directly held Bai Zhixu's hand and praised unabashedly: "As expected of the cousin of the Xie family, she looks really good!"

As she said that, she pulled the bracelet directly from her wrist and wanted to give Bai Zhixu a greeting.

Bai Zhixu was a little awkward about her identity and behavior, and he didn't want to accept it, so he looked at Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie taught her to take it away, and she happened to see another lady she knew well, so she said goodbye to Mrs. Pingnanhou. After walking away, she asked Bai Zhixu what was going on.

Bai Zhixu said in a low voice.

Mrs. Xie was speechless for a moment, and when she thought of Mrs. Pingnanhou's behavior just now, she was a little nervous.

But then Mrs. Ji came over, and she also seemed to be interested in Bai Zhixu. What is the situation of Ji Saburo in her family, don't you know when he is a human? Mrs. Xie was naturally lacking in interest, so she waved her hand to teach Bai Zhixu to find Yin Mingyu.

Bai Zhixu also felt that his cousin was more comfortable around him, so he took a leisurely pace and went back to find his cousin, only to find that there was no one there.

As soon as Fang Zhi was asked, he went outside, Bai Zhixu went out, and saw Yin Mingyu and the ladies watching what was happening.

She walked to Yin Mingyu's side and looked out on tiptoe, only to see Second Lady Liu's face in the distance, and a nervous and worried handsome man beside her was supporting her.

Not far away, the Jiang family sisters were standing behind Mrs. Jiang, staring at them coldly.

"Cousin, what's the matter?"

Yin Mingyu turned back and whispered, "Don't worry, look first."

It turned out that after Bai Zhixu left, the ladies chatted with Yin Mingyu for a while and then gradually dispersed, only Lady Wen stayed to talk to her.

Jiang He, on the other hand, looked like he wanted to talk to Yin Mingyu but was embarrassed, and stood not far away.

It didn't take long for Yin Mingyu to notice that Mrs. Liu Er came to Jiang He with an apologetic look and said something, but Jiang He was impatient, but went out anyway.

In this scene, Yin Mingyu was acutely aware of the farce, and asked someone to tell Jiang Si Niangzi, and then went out with Wen Niangzi.

The timing was so coincidental. As soon as they went out, they saw that there was an argument between the second lady Liu and Jiang He. Jiang He turned around and left, and the second lady Liu suddenly fell to the ground in pain. Then, Ji Saburo appeared, and immediately Standing on the side of Second Lady Liu, accusing Jiang He.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang Si Niang came over, and they watched the whole scene just now, and exposed the behavior of Mrs. Liu Er, but Ji Saburo thought that they belonged to the same family, and naturally favored Jiang He.

Later, more people heard the movement, so there was a scene that Bai Zhixu saw.

At this time, a group of ladies came out. When Mrs. Ji saw the person on the other end, her face immediately turned cold, and she shouted: "Sanlang, do you still have rules? Come here!"

Ji Saburo was worried about Lady Liu Er, and his face was embarrassed.

Mrs. Liu suddenly smiled warmly, took Mrs. Ji's hand, exerted a little force, and reminded: "Look at you, the relationship between our two families, Saburo just cares about Erniang."

In the audience, Mrs. Liu reminded again. Mrs. Ji immediately adjusted her stiff expression, nodded with a smile, and asked, "Sanlang, what's wrong with Erniang?"

Ji Saburo looked at the Jiang sisters angrily, and was about to say something when Mrs. Jiang suddenly interrupted, describing what had just happened, and then congratulated him in a special way: "Mrs. Liu, the relationship between your two families, a couple Isn't it a good thing for a child and a girl to be a concubine? Make an appointment earlier, so that we can teach us to drink the wedding wine of the two families, and also save the trouble of unrelated people. "

When Mrs. Jiang said this, she glanced at Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and Mrs. Jiang retracted her gaze again without clinging to Yin Mingyu to go out.

Mrs. Ji's face was very ugly. What she was dissatisfied with was not the marriage of Liu Ji's family, but the second lady Liu, but it was difficult for Mrs. Jiang to open it up so directly.

The other ladies looked at each other in dismay. One of the ladies who was close to the two families came forward to smooth things out, and temporarily brought the matter on the grounds that today was Mrs. Liu's birthday banquet.

Yin Mingyu stood behind the people and watched the fun with interest. This time, no one disturbed her.

After the birthday banquet, the three of the Xie family returned to the house, and Yin Mingyu's footsteps were quite brisk.

But as soon as she entered the mansion, she found that the expressions of the people in the mansion were a little different, and then when she arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xie said a shocking news with a serious face—

His Majesty's decree ordered Xie Qin to be the prefect of South Vietnam.

Yin Mingyu: "…"

Suddenly.
