The Stepmother is Unkind

The husband and wife, father and son hadn't seen each other for nearly a year. There were many thoughts and worries, so after getting the news, Xie Qin immediately rushed over when the time was right.

They sneaked into this place so cautiously, they were nervous, and when they climbed into the bamboo building, they found that what they had done seemed to be superfluous, and their mood went downhill.

But always happy.

However, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and Yin Mingyu's behavior still needs a lesson.

This was Xie Qin's plan before meeting the real Yin Mingyu.

But Yin Mingyu will always surprise people.

At that moment, Xie Qin really thought that Yin Mingyu was so heartless that he was drunk in the bandit den.

However, Yin Mingyu grabbed the "God of Wealth" and thought that the "God of Wealth" was dazzling his eyes, so instead of covering his eyes, he asked the "God of Wealth": "The light is darker and dazzling."

The three maids present: "..."

Xie Ce sat on the bamboo bed, covered his mouth, blinked his eyes, and looked at his mother curiously.

Xie Qin was almost speechless with anger.

It was Yin'er who was alert, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Lang Jun, the young lady didn't drink. I don't know why. The maid just taught someone to invite a doctor."

Xie Qin paused before smelling that there was indeed no alcohol on her body.

Yin Mingyu was still moving, Xie Qin grabbed her wrist with one hand, slipped down with one hand, picked her up with one hand, and turned to go to the bamboo bed.

Xie Ce was sitting on the edge of the bed, and when he saw his father hugging his mother, he quickly turned over and crawled inward.

Xie Qin put down Yin Mingyu, held her with one hand and covered her eyes with the other, forcibly closing her eyes.

Xie Ce lay beside Yin Mingyu, resting his chin in both hands, and asked, "What's wrong with mother?"

Xie Qin didn't know either, so he turned his head and asked Yin'er, "But what did you eat?"

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded on the stairs. Jin'er went to look. After a while, the figure of the old doctor appeared at the door.

The old doctor was also surprised when he saw Xie Qin, but he didn't show it, and only saluted after walking in.

Xie Qin asked him to check Yin Mingyu's pulse first. The old doctor gave a diagnosis when he saw the young lady's condition.

Yin'er was at a loss: "But... we all ate, and everything was fine."

The old doctor said, "Xu Shi, the young lady can't eat this kind of fungus."

Xie Qin: "…"

Getting drunk in a bandit's den is quite bizarre, and eating mushrooms and eating hallucinations is not much better.

But these things happened to Yin Mingyu, which seemed to be common sense, Xie Qin couldn't help sighing.

The poison was actually not serious. The old doctor turned around and wrote a prescription to teach the doctor to take the medicine and boil the medicine. He immediately took out the silver needle and gave Yin Mingyu acupuncture to promote detoxification.

Although Yin Mingyu didn't shout, but kept moving, it would be a mistake to make the wrong needle. The old doctor reminded: "Lang Jun, please ask the young lady not to move."

Xie Qin paused, then leaned into Yin Mingyu's ear and said, "If you move again, you will lose money."

Yin Mingyu was motionless for a moment, lying on the bamboo bed obediently.

Xie Qin's helplessness had reached the top, and he patted her on the forehead very calmly. Seeing that her eyes were rolling under her lids, she laughed.

And he had no way of knowing that at that moment, the picture that popped into Yin Mingyu's mind was that the God of Wealth touched my top, and both gold and silver were in his arms.

After the old doctor gave Yin Mingyu acupuncture, Xie Qin fed Yin Mingyu and drank the medicine again.

Xie Ce was already drowsy, but he kept on holding on. Finally, when his father was done, he quickly got up and ran out with his shoes pulled.

Everyone looked at him strangely, Xie Qin was still sitting on the edge of the bed, and Yin'er followed him outside.

Xie Ce squatted under the desk where he was reading for the past few days, and reached into the bookcase to touch and touch. After a while, he grabbed a steamed cake and ran back.

Yin'er: "…"

Can't get in? Curious, but Lang Jun's face must be extremely ugly.

In the end, Yin'er still didn't step in, but opened Xiao Langjun's bookcase to check if there were any problems with the book.

Inside, Xie Qin looked at Xie Ce's small hand spread out with a ball... I don't know what kind of cake it was, and was silent.

Xie Ce held the steamed cake and handed it forward, "Mother made it! Leave it to my father..."

He just called "Father", then stopped, rolled his eyes, and changed his words, "Leave it to uuuuu!"

Mmmm first, now hmmm... Wouldn't the heir of his Xie family speak properly?

Xie Qin pressed his forehead, then hesitantly raised his hand and squeezed the steamed cake.

Xie Ce urged, "Don't eat."

Xie Qin didn't move, looked at it, what Yin Mingyu did... I couldn't rest assured.

Jin'er looked complicated and persuaded: "Lang Jun, what the young lady made a day ago may be broken, so you should not eat it."

Xie Qin immediately put down the snacks, and before Xie Ce could speak, he picked up Xie Ce by his armpit, covered his eyes and forced him to sleep, "Go to sleep."

Xie Ce was originally a strong supporter, lying in his father's arms with a black eye before falling asleep instantly.

This heartless child is the heir to his Xie family...

Xie Qin found that when he saw his wife and children, he sighed more than the previous year.

Xie Qin put his son on the bed, sat sideways, looked at Yin Mingyu who was still smiling in his sleep on the bed, reached out and pulled out the hairpin on her head, and smoothed her hair on the temples.

Originally, the two could have a good talk, at least exchange some news, but now it can only be conveyed by her maid.

And when Xie Qin instructed Jin'er, Chu He and others hid in the grass with extreme care, not daring to make too much noise, and could only speak in an angry voice.

Chu He: "What happened just now? Why hasn't Jing Ming come out yet?"

The guard replied: "Chu Langjun, there is no riot, you can rest assured."

With the rustling of wind and insects around, Chu He, a scholar, squatted among them, beating mosquitoes with his hands, showing no grace at all.

At this time, the back window of the bamboo building was opened, revealing more light, Chu He was overjoyed, got up and went over in person for Xie Langjun to step on his shoulders.

"Jing Ming, how is it?"

Xie Qin replied in a low voice, "Leave this place first."

Their initial plan was to confirm the authenticity first, so Chu He and others did not delay and left the back mountain quietly.

When the group found their horse, Chu He asked, "Jing Ming, is there any news available?"

"I don't know much for the time being, but since Er Niang and the others are found, the people behind them will reveal their true identity sooner or later."

Xie Qin got on the horse, left a few people around to continue to stare, and then quickly drove the horse back.

This place is very far from the state city, and he and Chu He must show up at the state government office tomorrow, otherwise, they may cause suspicion.

They hurried non-stop, wearing stars and moon, and it was already bright outside the prefecture city. Xie Qin and Chu He covered their faces slightly and followed behind the rest of the guards.

The two of them didn't rush to go back, they found a place to change into their usual clothes, and found a clean restaurant for breakfast before entering from the main gate of the mansion.

The officer also saluted and watched the two go in, and muttered a little strangely, "I didn't see the Chief Inspector going out..."

Another officer said, "Come back with Chu Changshi, perhaps staying overnight at Chu Changshi's place."

"makes sense."

When the officials in the government office saw the two coming in from the outside, they couldn't help but greet them. Chu He all replied with a smile, "Come over after eating for the value, have you eaten?"

Xie Qin did not sleep for three nights, and ordered the guards who were searching elsewhere to be recalled. Finally, he closed his eyes on the couch and rested for a while.

On the other side, the Bamboo House in Yanzu Village—

It was noon, Yin Mingyu's stomach was empty, and he woke up from hunger. Before opening his eyes, he shouted, "Hungry~ Yin'er Tong'er, bring some food..."

Xie Ce got up late today, so he didn't take a nap. Hearing his mother's voice, he ran to the table, picked up a snack, ran back, and fed it to her mouth.

Yin Mingyu opened his eyes, saw the dim sum, opened his mouth and took a bite, and the corners of his mouth rose as if he remembered something while chewing.

Xie Ce lay beside the bed to watch her eat, and said with a smile, "Mother, you're here."

Yin Mingyu was at a loss, "Who is it?"

Xie Ce approached her ear, bit her ear softly and said, "It's father~"

Yin Mingyu was completely unimpressed, "Your father is here?"

Xie Ce lay beside her, nodded, and said in a normal voice, "Mum, don't let me call, Mum, do you also play games?"

Just in time, Jin'er came in with the plain porridge. Hearing Xiao Langjun's words, he walked over to the bed and said softly, "Ma'am, Langjun came over as soon as the night fell last night."

Yin Mingyu took the porridge and thought deeply, "Why don't I know? When did he come?"

Jin'er smiled and said, "Last night you hugged Lord Lang and shouted 'God of Wealth'."

"…say clearly."

Jin'er started from when she saw Lang Jun coming in through the window, until Lang Jun left, and told her everything that happened during the period.

Yin Mingyu finished listening: "..."

So dreaming of the God of Wealth, is it fake? She thought it was a good sign...

And, "Is it really only me who has a problem eating mushrooms?"

Jin'er nodded earnestly, "Yes, you are the only lady."

Yin Mingyu rested his forehead, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge tasteless and tasteless, full of regret, the mushrooms were really delicious and couldn't be eaten...

Jin'er said sternly: "Ma'am, Langjun said, the person behind has not been found out, and I don't know its plot, it would be a shock to the snake. It is safer for you and Xiao Langjun to stay here for the time being, and take us back to the prefecture later. ."

Yin Mingyu nodded, put down the porridge bowl, and asked, "You were angry when you saw Mr. Lang last night?"

She turned too fast, and Jin Er paused before answering: "I was really angry at first, but it seems to have eased a lot when I left."

Yin Mingyu understood and laughed again.

"Madam, Lang Jun also said that he will come over tomorrow, and he will teach people to remind us so that we can cooperate to lead those guarded Yan people away."

They are still being guarded, and they are normal, and there are still many people around, but the Yanzu side is a little looser than at the beginning.

Now everything is not completely clear, so naturally we still have to be cautious, but the advantage of being Jin'er is that it is much easier for her to go out than to Xie Qin to come in.

So, Yin Mingyu ate and drank enough, and finished the medicine. After the old doctor checked her pulse, she was sure that it would not affect her movement, so she went downstairs.

Yanxia was sitting bored on the big rock, and when she saw her coming down, she immediately raised her voice and asked, "Girl Jin'er, how are you?"

Xu Shi, everyone in the Yan clan knew that she had eaten the mushrooms badly, and when they saw her, they all laughed.

On the other hand, none of the Xie family's guards dared to laugh, and everyone in the Yan clan only regarded them as cold faces, and didn't think much of it.

Yin Mingyu gave Yanxia and the others a white look, and asked, "Where did you get the water from? I want to take a look, so I can take our little Langjun's sheep to wash tomorrow."

She looked disgusted, "Our little man wants to play with that sheep, and the young lady thinks it smells so bad."

"It's really strange for you nobles to keep sheep for fun." Yanxia sighed, but did not stop her, pointed in the direction, and asked, "Miss Jin'er, don't you bring two guards?"

Yin Mingyu asked about the distance, it wasn't very far, and shook his head and said, "No, I'll bring guards, you have to accompany you, I'll go by myself."

She is alone, Yanxia and the others are not worried about her escaping. If they are accompanied by guards, how can they walk around freely.

Yanxia and the others were really relieved of her, and let her go directly, only to instruct: "Girl Jin'er, don't go far, it's not safe in the mountains."

Yin Mingyu agreed, took out a handful of pine nuts, and walked out leisurely while knocking.

The Xie family's guards in the bamboo building were used to their young lady's behavior, so they were not surprised, but the guards who were watching secretly in the distance watched their young lady wandering out so struttingly, their eyes widened.

But then, the guards gestured to each other, and two of them quietly followed in the direction of Yin Mingyu.

Yin Mingyu knocked on the pine nuts, walked to the side of the stream, and walked up the stream for a while, making sure that he was not far from the bamboo building, so he could hear him at the other end of his roar, and he wouldn't see it easily, so he stopped.

She listened to the gurgling sound of the stream for a while, and then came the sound of footsteps behind her.

"My subordinates have seen the young lady."

Yin Mingyu turned around, nodded slightly, and said directly, "If Langjun comes again, give me a letter, and I will come out, so you don't have to work hard to get in."

The two guards looked at each other, "Yes, my subordinates will report to the Lord."

Yin Mingyu looked around and asked, "Is it convenient to talk here? But there are more secret places. I will meet you there with Langjun."

The guard led her to continue to swim upstream, until a relatively gentle place, where the stream pooled into a pool, the stones above were smooth and difficult to walk, and there were almost no people.

The trees next to it are thick and sturdy, which is very suitable for concealing the figure.

Yin Mingyu wrote it down and went back the same way.

In the afternoon of the second day, after a few rhythmic bird calls, Yin Mingyu led the sheep out of the bamboo building.

The sheep hadn't been able to rub their hoofs well in the past few days. As soon as they came out for a walk, they were a little bit happy, and in turn led Yin Mingyu away.

When he heard the sound of water, it spread its hooves and rushed forward. Yin Mingyu was unprepared for a while, and was dragged forward by it for a few steps.

The strength of this adult sheep is not as strong as before. Yin Mingyu exerted a lot of strength to restrain it. Seeing that its head was crooked, it continued to struggle forward. change."

At this time, an arm stretched out from her side, and the big hand with clear joints held the rope loop and wrapped Yin Mingyu's hand together.

Yin Mingyu smelled the familiar scent of incense, so he let go of his hand, looked up along the arm, and said with a smile, "I knew Langjun was smart and wise, and he would definitely find us~"

"Isn't that girl Jin'er very smart?" Xie Qin glanced at her lightly, and took her wrist with the other hand and led her away, "Don't think that if you say that, I won't teach you a lesson."

Yin Mingyu followed him forward. Yu Guangshao saw the sheep and followed him honestly. He took a quick step and pressed the sheep's head heavily, secretly saying: Saying that you haven't improved is to underestimate you.

Xie Qin pretended not to see her movements, and went all the way to the place agreed yesterday, tying up the sheep slowly, and then turned to look at Yin Mingyu seriously.

Yin Mingyu straightened his expression and suggested earnestly, "Why don't you leave me alone for a while and teach me to reflect on my life?"

Xie Qin just wanted to teach her to realize the seriousness of the matter, and did not intend to be cold to her, but when she interrupted, the serious words that were about to be said were stopped in her mouth.

Yin Mingyu was very conscious and directly identified what she had done, "I saw that the Yanzu people did not directly rush up to shout and kill, I guessed that they might have other purposes, and after consideration, I chose the method with the least casualties, I believe As long as we delay for a while, even if there is no way for me to report the letter, Lang Jun can find us as soon as possible."

After a short pause, she also reflected: "But it is really inappropriate to put Xiao Langjun in a dangerous place."

Xie Qin frowned slightly, "Neither you nor Ce'er should be in danger, it's your duty to protect your safety by guards and entourages, with those scoundrels, the guards are enough to protect you from getting out, and you should know that I will come to meet you, as long as you escape some distance..."

According to her temperament, she must put herself first, and what Xie Qin said was the best choice to protect her and Xie Ce.

But... Yin Mingyu somewhat resisted this choice.

She didn't want to struggle with this, she just said: "Lang Jun, I know that the decisions I make in my identity will affect the people below, and I will definitely think more carefully in the future. The most important thing now is the future, I have won The trust of the Rock Clan..."

"Yin Mingyu." Xie Qin interrupted her and said seriously, "Of course it's best to save everyone, but I'm not a saint. I hope you and Ce'er are safe."

Yin Mingyu was silent.

To put himself in his shoes, he must have been extremely disturbed to learn that they were missing.

Should have hugged him.

So Yin Mingyu approached Xie Qin, wrapped his arms around his waist, patted his back, and said softly, "Xie Qin, we are safe and sound. Since you already know me a little, why don't you trust me more?"

"It's not that I don't trust you, I guessed a little that day." Xie Qin hugged her tightly, as if he had been lost, and whispered in her ear: "It's just that I'm not a person who regrets, but after you disappeared, I regret it... "

Regret used all kinds of tricks to lure her over, regretted letting them fall into danger.

He was a little tight, and the two were different in height. Yin Mingyu was hugged by him, his chin rested on his shoulder, and his feet were on tiptoes.

This pose is quite laborious.

Yin Mingyu had to interrupt him, "In one's life, one's life depends on a certain amount of fate and fortune, and the rest is up to people. If you think so, why don't I go back to the house with Xiaolangjun?"

It's just a pity that I can't see the scenery and scenery of Lingnan.

Xie Qin: "…"

Bad scenery.

Xie Qin didn't let go of her, but his tone returned to calm, "Nan Yue is not under my control now. Since you came in, the people behind you probably won't teach you to leave easily."

Yin Mingyu said: "The Yan clan people are not willing to reveal the identity of the other party. I think they are a little bit jealous, and the other party can drive a clan, and they are rich and powerful, and their power is no trivial matter."

As she spoke, she deviated from the topic: "Yanzu Village is extremely poor. I thought that Yanjun and Yanxia could bring back five hundred taels, but I didn't expect to bring back five thousand taels!"

Xie Qin asked, "Have you seen those silver coins?"

Yin Mingyu shook his head, thinking that he couldn't see, and said, "No, Yan Jun should be hiding in the village."

"I sent someone to look at the silver they bought in the county, and the condition is very new, but the last time the state government cast new silver was not long after I took office."

Yin Mingyu was slightly startled, and said sideways, "You suspect that they cast private money?!"

According to the laws of Da Ye, it is forbidden to mine private mines and cast private silver.

The breath was on the side of his neck, and the tip of his nose was her scent. Xie Qin's voice became more and more restrained and calm: "The Lingnan forces are intertwined. Qi Jiedu has served for many years, but he only keeps his own mind. The previous prefects of South Vietnam were unable to control South Vietnam. What is hidden? Not surprising."

Qi Jiedu envoy…

Yin Mingyu was thoughtful, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Yan Jun pushing Xie Qin to hide behind the tree not far away, and then leaned out a little to watch.

Yan Jun seemed to be going somewhere alone, and his expression looked suspicious. Yin Mingyu stretched out his finger and poked Xie Qin's waist to remind him to look.

Xie Qin couldn't help but think about it. At this time, she bumped into the tree with her back, and she touched his waist again, so she held it back and stopped: "This is in the wild, you are more serious..."

Yin Mingyu looked at Xie Qin strangely, then saw that Yan Jun was about to leave, and pushed Xie Qin away quickly, saying, "Follow and see."

Xie Qin looked in the direction she was walking, and only then did he realize that he was being affectionate, his ears were a little hot, and he straightened the front of his robe before he stepped up to follow Yin Mingyu.

Yan Jun looked left and right while walking, Yin Mingyu fell far behind, hiding.

Xie Qin was like a green bamboo, walking slowly behind Yin Mingyu, helplessly watching her seemingly more suspicious behavior.

Yin Mingyu hid behind the tree again, and when he looked back to see him like this, he urged him in a low voice: "Hide for a while, don't be discovered!"

Xie Qin: "…"

It was not a gentleman's act to follow, but he had already done a night scout, so he had to go behind the tree.

The two followed Yan Jun all the way for a long time, and when Yin Mingyu was about to get impatient, they finally saw Yan Jun stop, glanced around again, and sneaked into a path.

Yin Mingyu touched it quietly, and when she probed, she saw that Yan Jun was hiding behind a boulder and peeking at something. When she looked further away, she saw a graceful back of a woman with long hair scattered, revealing a long white and slender neck. , kneeling by the stream... washing your hair?

"Running so far to peek at the girl?"

Xie Qin, who was behind her, immediately turned around when she heard the words, looking at no evil.

Yin Mingyu frowned, lowered his head and picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it, and smashed it at Yan Jun's back.

Yan Jun was startled, jumped up suddenly, looked back and saw nothing, hurriedly got into the woods on one side and ran away.

The movement here also alarmed the woman, and she turned back suddenly.

Yin Mingyu hid behind the tree, saw her face, was startled, and subconsciously thought of the "fairy" that Yan Jun had mentioned earlier.

And the fairy-like girl noticed the abnormality, so she didn't leave quickly, even though her hair was wet, she hurried over to check, and just happened to walk over to Yin Mingyu and caught her straight.

Fairy was violent, she pinched her waist and asked, "Who are you?! Where is he!"

Yin Mingyu: "…"

Co-authoring is a mutual love, is she a bad person or a good thing?

"What's your relationship with him?!"

Yin Mingyu looked at the girl's eyes full of hostility, "I... come out for a tryst!"

She pulled out Xie Qin's sleeve from behind the tree, "coincidence, coincidence..."

The girl's expression softened when she saw the sleeve fabric.

Xie Qin never thought in his life that a well-deserved couple would carry such a name on their backs, took a deep breath, and took Yin Mingyu's wrist and strode away without showing his face the whole time.
