MTL - The Stepmother is Unkind-Chapter 48
Xie Ce is experiencing the greatest grief in his short two-year life.
He was already very wronged, and when he saw the culprits who caused his grief - his great-grandmother and mother, the grief was even more out of control.
Xie Ce pointed at the two of them with his little finger, while crying and accusing vaguely: "Lost... gone... woo woo..."
"Hey yo yo..." Mrs. Xie was very distressed when she saw the baby's great-grandson crying like this. "The great-grandmother is here, I didn't lose it."
"Uuuu...don't take me...uuuuu...bad..."
"Cer don't cry, it's from the great-grandmother, isn't it?" Madam Xie hugged him gently, and coaxed him softly while wiping his tears, "It's because Ce'er wants to study, and the great-grandmother didn't bring Ce'er."
Xie Ce performed exceptionally well, crying and making a request: "Woooooo...don't study..."
Mrs. Xie refused without thinking: "You must read."
When Xie Ce heard this, he was heartbroken and cried.
Madam Xie realized that her rejection was too straightforward and wanted to make amends, but Xie Ce could no longer listen and vented her grief without reservation.
The child was crying so badly and pitifully.
But Yin Mingyu stood behind, and for some reason he wanted to laugh, and doubted that what he was really sad about was "reading".
Mrs. Xie stood by and watched.
Mrs. Xie has been comforting Xie Ce for the past two days. Today, before Mrs. Xie came back, she was also coaxing her grandson to cry. Now she is watching Mrs. Xie coaxing the child. Thank you policy.
It was Mrs. Xie who was really worried that her great-grandson would break down from crying, and suddenly remembered that there was someone who was "in the same boat" with her. She turned around and said to Yin Mingyu, "You also persuade him."
Putting it in another perspective, anyone who has experienced the age of reading actually knows what children want.
Under Mrs. Xie's sight, Yin Mingyu slowly stepped forward and said directly, "Xiao Langjun, I won't be studying tomorrow."
Xie Ce's crying stopped abruptly, and looked at her smugly.
Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie hesitated.
Yin Mingyu squatted down and reasoned: "You must read when you read, but you can have one day every few days without reading, how about it?"
Xie Ce sobbed and thought.
Yin Mingyu didn't know whether he was thinking about whether her proposal was suitable or not, or whether he agreed or not, and continued: "Or read every day, or stop every few days, your great-grandmother and grandmother are here, in order to fight for you , the mother is under a lot of pressure."
Originally, when Xie Ce was first enlightened, it was not very strict, and there were rest days, but Xie Ce didn't understand it herself, and she could say "the pressure is high".
Madam Xie was sullen in her heart, but she didn't interrupt her, and agreed with a serious voice: "Since your mother fought for you like this, the great-grandmother will call the shots and allow you to take a day off every few days, but if you don't want to..."
Xie Ce hadn't figured it out yet, but for fear that they would take it back, he hurriedly agreed, "Yes!"
Mrs. Xie pursed her lips, controlled her smile, and hugged Xie Ce solemnly: "Okay, great-grandmother promised you to let you rest from time to time."
With tears still hanging from her lower eyelashes, Xie Ce nodded obediently, "Okay."
Mrs. Xie: "…"
And they finally appeased Xie Ce. When Mrs. Xie turned around, she saw the peach wood sword on the gate of the East Courtyard, frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Yin Mingyu didn't say anything about the "haunted" remarks of the maids, he just said with a smile: "Grandmother, Xiao Langjun cried really hard today, to prevent him from being disturbed by his nightmares at night, it is better to take a peach wood sword from the granddaughter-in-law and hang it up. ?"
As soon as Xie Ce was involved, Madam Xie immediately stopped asking questions and agreed, "Bring it here."
Yin Mingyu asked Jin'er to fetch it.
After a while, Jin'er came back with a smaller peach wood sword, Xie Ce looked at the one in her hand, and then at the big one hanging on the door, the one with the size of her little finger, "I want the bigger one."
Yin Mingyu asked the maid to change it and brought the big one back to him.
But the fact that Mrs. Xie and Yin Mingyu ran out every day was not over.
In the evening, Patriarch Xie and Xie Qin returned to the house, and they were silent when they learned of a small farce during the day.
Both father and son were in front of them with a straight face. No matter how old Mrs. Xie knew their temperament, she would not feel better when she saw the cold face, and she was so old, and she was even more rebellious, so she even said in a temper: "What? I Can't go out now?"
The head of the Xie family said unsmilingly: "Mother, your body is the most important..."
Madam Xie lifted her cane and knocked on the ground, "I'm fine."
Yin Mingyu bowed his head and stood aside, trying his best to reduce his sense of existence.
Xie Qin turned his eyes and looked at Yin Mingyu, then turned to his grandmother who was full of energy, and persuaded: "Father, it is rare for a grandmother to be happy, and the attendant will take good care of her, so please rest assured."
When Mrs. Xie saw her grandson standing by her side, she quickly showed her face and said kindly, "It's still a matter of fact, and I understand my grandmother more and more."
Xie Qin did not change his face, did not blindly obey her, and continued: "Grandmother, the weather is getting colder, and it is possible to get sick from the cold. You need to be more careful. After the spring of next year, it is more appropriate for you to go out more frequently."
After all, I still disapprove of her running outside often.
Mrs. Xie was quite disappointed, but she knew how to be rude and did not argue any further.
However, in order to express her unhappy attitude, she drove everyone away and only had dinner with her good grandson.
Xie Qin still has business to do and wants to go back to the front yard with his father, but before separating from Yin Mingyu, Lin told her: "Dinner will be returned to the east yard."
Yin Mingyu nodded, and when he went back, he asked the maid to inform the dining room.
Jin'er and Yin'er packed up the things the old lady bought today for her, with smiles all over her face.
Yin Mingyu leaned on the couch lazily and watched the two of them move, and suddenly asked, "Is there still crying these days?"
Yin'er replied crisply: "Miss, I haven't heard of it in the past few days."
Yin Mingyu pointed to the Ru skirt in Jin'er's hand and said, "I will wear this to the main courtyard tomorrow."
Jin Er carefully put it aside.
Before dinner, Xie Qin came to the east courtyard, and before he got close, he saw the peach wood sword on the courtyard gate.
However, the size of the peach wood sword is relatively ordinary, he just glanced at it and stepped in as usual.
The two sat around eating in their own room. Yin Mingyu didn't stick to the rule of "don't talk about food", and asked naturally, "I went out with my grandmother, is Langjun not dissatisfied?"
Xie Qin said calmly: "As far as the matter is concerned, my grandmother is very happy, why should I blame you?"
Yin Mingyu lowered his head to eat.
Xie Qin's changes are actually visible to the naked eye, to be fair, he is indeed a gentleman, and very tolerant.
It is a pleasure to be in the company of such people.
Therefore, Yin Mingyu took the initiative to talk about some of the things that happened between her and Mrs. Xie when she was out, and also mentioned that Xie Ce was crying today, suddenly a thought moved, and she asked with a smile: "Lang Jun studied when he was young, and he would be like Xiao Lang. Do you feel so hard?"
Xie Qin said: "No."
"Really?" Yin Mingyu wondered, how could anyone be born with a love of reading?
Seeing her expression, Xie Qin thought about it seriously, and still replied: "As far as I can remember, I studied hard and studied hard, and it was quite fun, I never felt it was hard."
Yin Mingyu can't help thinking about it, but he is also full of complexities at this time, and he can't help but sigh: "Langjun is so enviable."
Uniquely endowed and talented, but also with self-discipline attributes, diligent and hard-working.
However, Yin Mingyu's mentality has been cultivated very well, and he is not jealous, and he can even laugh at himself: "It's not like me, I don't even have the aura to write poetry."
Xie Qin said: "If you have the heart, I can take the time to teach you. If you keep writing, you will surely gain something."
Yin Mingyu: "..." I really want to slap her in the mouth, which pot can't be lifted without opening it.
But this time, she didn't hold back, and took the initiative to refuse with a reason: "Lang Jun, I'm just joking, and I'm not very interested in writing poetry."
Xie Qin confirmed that what she said was the truth, and nodded, "So, I will know."
Seeing that he was always so upright, Yin Mingyu suddenly flashed a smile, approached him, and said softly, "But if Langjun teaches me to write poems at night, I am also willing."
What's next to the poem...
Not solemn.
Xie Qin raised his hand, put it on her eyes, and pushed it away mercilessly.
Yin Mingyu's eyes turned dark, and he didn't take his hand away, with an obvious smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xie Qin felt her eyelashes brushing in the palm of his hand, retracted his hand, and said lightly, "I will stay in the East Courtyard tonight."
Yin Mingyu raised his eyebrows, "What kind of overnight stay?"
Xie Qin glanced at her and said solemnly, "It's normal to stay overnight."
When Yin Mingyu heard this, he smiled and said, "Langjun doesn't dislike my sleeping posture today?"
"It's impossible for me to stay home every day." Xie Qin rarely let go, and said with a bit of ease, "Since you are self-aware, if you disturb my sleep at night, I will drive you out."
Yin Mingyu looked terribly frightened. Before going to bed at night, he specially asked the maid to take two more quilts, folded them up and placed them in the middle, patted them, and said, "In this way, I shouldn't be able to disturb Lang Jun's rest."
I hope so.
Sechin lay down peacefully.
And with these two quilts in the middle, it did separate Yin Mingyu more or less. She turned over and her legs were only on the quilt, not over. The two were very harmonious in the first half of the night.
However, in the second half of the night, the autumn wind outside was getting stronger and whistling, and there was a sudden burst of whimpering in the east courtyard, and it became louder and more infiltrating.
The lamb was lying on the wall, and was startled, and also cried "baa-" and "baa-".
Xie Qin opened his eyes first.
Yin Mingyu was also disturbed and listened for a while in a daze. He stepped over the quilt, kicked Xie Qin's leg, and asked her, "Lang Jun, are you recruiting ghosts?"
"..." Xie Qin was speechless, standing beside him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
The maid also woke up, looking panicked.
Xie Qin didn't let the maid go out to see, but put on his coat and opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, the cry grew louder, and the maid shivered with fright.
Xie Qin listened for a while, then followed the voice, looked for the corner courtyard, and paused.
Yin Mingyu came over and asked, "Lang Jun, how is it?"
Xie Qin turned to look at Yin Mingyu and asked, "You haven't disposed of the red grass yet?"
Yin Mingyu was inexplicable, "Didn't you ask Langjun to deal with it in the letter?"
After she asked, she heard the crying outside again, and she reacted instantly.
It's like he forgot something... Yin Mingyu pulled up his shirt and said helplessly, "I haven't asked about Zhu Cao since I returned to Beijing."
She didn't care, so she was careless, it was her problem.
Na Sechin…
Xie Qin pressed his eyebrows, "I should teach people to let you know."
Immediately, he instructed his maid: "Teach someone to go to Jiaoyuan to stop her, and deal with it tomorrow."
When the maid heard that the cry was Zhucao, she felt relieved and immediately went out to find someone.
Yin Mingyu looked at the tired look on Xie Qin's face and persuaded: "Lang Jun still needs to be on duty, rest early, and I will deal with it tomorrow."
Xie Qin nodded and closed the door.
