MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 10
After Xi Lan and Pomegranate's second maid left, the three master and servant who were committed to eating and drinking were silent for a long time.
Jin'er and Yin'er have been by Yin Mingyu's side since childhood, and all knowledge comes from Yin Mingyu.
In the impression, the eldest lady of the Yin family often appears in front of them with dignity and pride. She is well-loved in her parents' home, educated by the best boudoir, and married to the most outstanding prince in Beijing.
She just had bad luck and died in childbirth, but she deserved to live an enviable life before her death.
But what Pomegranate said was so different from what they had always thought, so that she couldn't recover from the shock for a long time.
"Ma'am, this..." Yin'er babbled, "Eldest lady and Xie Langjun...Pomegranate she..."
She didn't dare to say it, but she called "Xie Langjun", and Yin Mingyu knew that she had doubts in her heart.
Did Xie Qin treat the eldest lady badly?
If the eldest lady does this, is she a qualified family lady?
Why are pomegranates so proud?
…
At this time, Jin'er guessed: "After all, it's just one side of the pomegranate. She doesn't respect our lady very much. Maybe there are many things we don't know, and she deliberately misunderstands her."
When Yin'er heard it, she felt that her words made a lot of sense, and immediately agreed: "It's very possible! The Tongfang Zhucao and Shiliu are both good, they are the same, and I definitely don't want our lady to have a good relationship with Langjun... "
"And we've all seen Zhucao. The eldest lady's four maidservants have ordinary looks. If Langjun wants to pass the room, why not choose the sapphire and red silk nearby?"
Yin'er's mind was spinning very fast at this time. In the end, she still didn't want to believe that Xie Langjun was not a good match for her master. As she spoke, she became more and more persuaded, and even found evidence, "Qingyu and Hongsi are so good-looking, But it doesn't look as flamboyant as it looks, and it seems to be well-behaved, it doesn't seem to be ambiguous with Lang Jun."
Jin'er calmly said: "Pomegranate also said that the eldest lady is reasonable, and perhaps the eldest lady does not want Langjun's maid to become a maid."
Yin'er was speechless and said angrily: "Why do you come to refute me when I say anything?"
Immediately, she turned to Yin Mingyu and asked her to comment: "Miss, who do you think is right between the maid and Jin'er?"
Yin Mingyu supported his head, thought about it for a long time, and then said with more certainty: "Qingyu and red silk are indeed beautiful, if they are always by their side, would they be smiling every day?"
"Miss?!" Yin'er clutched her chest in heartache, making a look that she was about to faint.
Yin Mingyu and Jin'er couldn't help laughing, and the slightly dull atmosphere before was instantly swept away.
After the three laughed, Yin Mingyu said, "Let's take a look, we have only been here for a day." It is her upbringing that it is not easy to define a person.
And Yin Mingyu has seen a wider world, but Jin'er and Yin'er have only seen one of her. They will have doubts, but Yin Mingyu will not doubt everything he has witnessed.
Whether Xie Qin is a good person is not to be said, but the vicissitudes of life and the passage of time will eventually give new answers to women like the eldest lady and the pomegranate.
Since Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin separated in the morning after confessing their relatives, Xie Qin didn't step into the East Court again until Shen Zhengmo, and following him was the maid Hong Silk.
Both Jin'er and Yin'er felt a little bit shattered towards Xie Qin, but they always kept in mind to control their emotions to the outside world. Instead, they became more respectful in the face of Xie Qin, and instructed the maids to set the meal as quietly as possible.
Xie Qin didn't pay attention to them and sat down directly. After Yin Mingyu also sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and ate slowly.
Yin Mingyu rationally reminded himself not to define others arbitrarily, but his heart was still affected a little. Sitting next to Xie Qin, he was somewhat uninterested, and the action of picking vegetables was not very happy.
"Not to taste?"
Yin Mingyu paused with chopsticks and looked at Xie Qin.
Sechin didn't look at her, and was still eating intently.
It was indeed "eating", the so-called "pleasant food" did not show on his face at all, and a beautiful maid like Hong Silk personally served him to eat, as if it was just enough to eat.
In my impression, he never talked much, and Xie Qin didn't give her a look at the "random encounter" at the gate of the mother's house, but since he got married yesterday, Xie Qin still talks less, but his attitude has changed.
Is this change due to the identity of "wife"?
Yin Mingyu saved the temptation and said, "Langjun, I want to eat porridge."
When the words fell, she caught the surprise flashing across the red silk who was waiting on the side.
And Xie Qin turned his head to look at her eyes, so clear that he couldn't see the meaning.
Yin Mingyu wanted to know what his bottom line for his wife was, so he didn't pretend to be a wooden man, he softened his voice, and seemed to ask a little cautiously, "Lang Jun?"
After a while, Xie Qin withdrew his gaze, took the male chopsticks in the red silk tray, took a porridge for her, and placed it in the porcelain plate in front of her.
The public chopsticks were neatly placed on the clean plate, and he did not leave the table again. Red Silk clenched the tray that seemed to be worth a thousand gold in his hand, revealing his inner unease.
Xie Qin was too unpredictable, Yin Mingyu glanced over the red silk surface inadvertently, lowered his head and glanced at the green vegetables lying in the white porcelain plate, picked them up and ate them while thinking.
The time after that was very quiet, Yin Mingyu didn't ask for anything to eat, and Xie Qin didn't take the initiative to bring her food.
After the meal, the maid brought two cups of tea to the two of them.
Xie Qin picked up the book he had not finished before, and from time to time he held a teacup in the other hand and drank, reading the book as if no one else was there.
Going to the main courtyard later, Yin Mingyu sat next to him and drank tea after a few sips. He didn't want to sit any longer, so he got up and went back to the inner room.
Jin'er and Yin'er followed her into the inner room. The moment the door was closed, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. They glanced back at the door and walked a few steps to Yin Mingyu's side.
Yin'er leaned into Yin Mingyu's ear and whispered, "Miss, the maid is very afraid that it will disturb the prince."
Yin Mingyu sat in front of the dressing table and the two of them arranged for her, thinking, "Don't worry, I'll take a look..."
Youzheng, Yin Mingyu came out of the inner room and interrupted directly: "Langjun, are you going to the main courtyard at this time?"
Xie Qin put down the book and set off directly.
Yin Mingyu followed behind him and took the initiative to open the chat box, "Lang Jun, has Hong Silk returned to the front yard?"
Xie Qin replied lightly, "Yes."
"She and Qingyu came to see her during the day, and I thought they were very lovely. The red silk was by my side during dinner, and they looked really beautiful."
Yin Mingyu is telling the truth and his tone is very sincere.
"The two of them were originally the maids of the East Court. If you like it, just ask them to come back and serve."
His tone was so flat that Yin Mingyu's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but ask, "Really?"
Xie Qin turned his head sideways, with clear determination in his eyes.
He was telling her that there was no need to question what he said.
That being the case, Yin Mingyu smiled and said, "Then ask them to come back to the East Court tomorrow. You don't have to do anything, just watch them in front of your eyes and teach people to be happy."
After the two arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Xie was very kind to Xie Qin, and her attitude towards Yin Mingyu was mediocre, but she didn't have a cold face.
Mrs. Xie took care of Yin Mingyu a few words.
She asked, Yin Mingyu answered, and she didn't ask, Yin Mingyu didn't say a word, and finally Mrs. Xie stopped talking to Yin Mingyu, and spoke to Xie Ce together with Mrs. Xie.
Yin Mingyu was so happy that they ignored her and lowered her eyes in a daze.
Xie Qin sat happily and drank tea.
The main courtyard and the main room seemed to draw a line, separated from hot and cold. The lively ones were Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie and Xie Ce, and the quiet ones were Yin Mingyu and Xie Qin.
But the two of them, especially Xie Qin, had a strong sense of presence. Xie Ce didn't dare to speak when he was here.
Madam Xie couldn't bear it any longer, so she taught them to go back first.
Xie Qin got up immediately, Yin Mingyu followed, saluted, and then left.
And as soon as they left, Madam Xie said angrily, "What kind of injustice did the Xie family have, bringing two logs to anger me!"
One of the wooden mother bowed her head and stroked her grandson's head soothingly.
On the other side, the couple returned to the East Courtyard. Xie Qin went to the study, while Yin Mingyu went back to the inner room and went into the bathroom to shower and change.
When she came out again, the sky was completely dark, and bright candles were lit indoors.
Jin Er wiped her hair and asked, "Ma'am, can you go and invite Lang Jun to take a bath?"
Yin Mingyu glanced at himself in the bronze mirror, his hair was loose, but it wasn't messy, and he said, "I'll go to the study."
She didn't let the maid follow her, and once she got to the study, she waved away the maid in the study.
"Is something wrong?"
Yin Mingyu sat on a chair not far from him and said bluntly, "Langjun, I'm still feeling unwell..."
Xie Qin immediately understood that she didn't want to be in the same room, and nodded, "If that's the case, I'll go back to the front yard."
Yin Mingyu didn't mean to drive him away, "Lang Jun, you don't have to..."
Xie Qin interrupted her and insisted: "It's okay."
Since he insisted, Yin Mingyu was very understanding and immediately obeyed.
Xie Qin pondered for a while and said to her, "I have official business tomorrow, so I won't be at home."
"Isn't the official getting married for three days off?"
Xie Qin said: "There is nothing left or right, so as not to accumulate official duties."
Yin Mingyu was curious, "Is the Ministry of Personnel so busy?"
Sechin was silent.
Yin Mingyu was inexplicable and couldn't help slandering him for being difficult to get along with. On the face, he immediately said with understanding: "I'm just asking a random question. If it's inconvenient for you to say something, Langjun, don't say it."
Xie Qin sighed softly and said, "My current official position is the 5th Grade Middle Shusheren of the Provincial Department."
Yin Mingyu: "…"
If she explained, no one would tell her, and she didn't expect Xie Qin to be promoted so quickly, is it credible?
