Shaoyao was stunned and thought she was hallucinating. She subconsciously looked at Ming Jin, but the latter replied naturally: "I called her to come, but I didn't know my grandmother's side. This is not appropriate. If she came over, it would be like offending her grandmother. There will always be someone who told her about this, either her grandmother's, or... "
Ming Jin paused and said, "My younger brother will tell her."
Shaoyao knew that the lord had three children. Except for Ming Jin, the other two were born in vain. The second daughter Xie Mingyue and the third son Xie Zhiliang.
These two men, one mother, even if they have no feelings, they will join forces because of the interests threatened by Ming Jin.
Compared to Xie Mingyue's spoiled hostility, Xie Zhijing poses the greatest threat to the girl. Even if she is only a concubine, she is the only son after all. If the girl is still in such an opposition relationship with the Lord, everything about the Lord in the future is likely to be inherited by him. If the latter also responds to the girl, then the girl will be in a lot of trouble.
"Oh, I understand, so the girl is deliberately testing the Third Young Master and see him..."
"no."
Ming Jin neatly rejected Shaoyao's speculation.
"I'm testing my sister Yueyue."
Although Ming Jin was smiling, his eyes were deep, "See if she has been tamed by my grandmother, and see if she really hates me."
What would her grandmother raise her son's concubine into: she is arrogant, stupid, easy to control, and will not threaten her status.
Anyway, he is just a concubine.
At least we must not be like her, Xie Mingjin and her mother.
The old lady is indeed such a person.
I often like to use others as chess pieces.
Shaoyao suddenly realized, but realized another thing. The girl had said in advance, "No."
That is to be sure the dead girl won't come.
Does this mean that the girl is not optimistic about the situation in the Xie family?
The atmosphere was quiet for a moment. Ming Jin finished drinking a small pot of sake. He was slightly sleepy. Shaoyao was carefully packing up his things when he suddenly heard from the servants outside.
"Girl, the fourth girl brings someone here."
Shaoyao was surprised, and Ming Jinben, who had just said that the other party would not come, was stunned, and had doubts on his face.
Is it coming?
Could it be that her younger brother didn't come forward?
She thought in her sleepiness, and after a while she curled her lips and chuckled.
The sister's joys, anger, sorrows and happiness are placed on her face, and her behaviors are the same.
What kind of thought is not difficult to guess.
She rarely makes mistakes in judgment, but today's mistakes do not seem annoying.
"Actually, I don't hate me that much... Little Yellow Bird?"
After talking to herself, she smiled softly, hoarse, gentle, and a little comfortable.
She finally fell asleep peacefully.
———————
How could the old lady not know about the incident in Haiyue Tower? But there was no big noise. It was as silent as ever, which made the rest of the Xie family dare to express their opinions. They just lurked and watched secretly. If it were not necessary, they would not enter the venue in advance.
It is said that the Xie family seems to be coming in the city. Xie Mingyue, who really moved into Yunqian Tower, was trembling all night. Even if she was determined to be a yellow bird, she felt that she was in the dormant period. If this scheming sister attacked her, would she bear it or not?
In a dilemma, she sent her nanny to investigate and report.
"Sleep? She actually fell asleep!"
Xie Mingyue was already very sleepy and was holding her swollen eyelids, which were about to be swollen, and she was angry at that time and poured a big bowl of chicken soup made in the kitchen.
—————
The next day, Ming Jin finally slept for a night and his complexion improved a lot. Thanks to Xie Mingyue moving in. Compared to their new arrivals, the people in Haiyuelou knew more and didn't need Shaoyao to go out to investigate. Soon, they learned from these people what the meaning of the days in seven days was.
"Cousin Dong Qingxue's hairpin?" Shaoyao learned the news and was angry for a long time before she came over to report to Ming Jin. But looking at her, the girl was very calm and asked who this cousin was.
"It's the eldest daughter of the boss's eldest house. I heard that the old lady liked her very much after she came back from the capital. She took her to the Xie family to raise her early, and has been for many years."
Shaoyao refused to mention other rumors that he had heard, such as the Xie family no longer had a place for their own girl in recent years, such as the most precious girl in the Xie family now is...
But she also knew that her girl was smart. When she looked at each other, the latter seemed to be smiling, and Shaoyao could only blush slightly and change the topic clumsyly, "The girl seems to be not very familiar with the old lady's family."
Otherwise, I wouldn't even recognize the cousin there.
"Well, my grandfather and father didn't like their boss very much in the past, so they rarely had contact with each other."
Shaoyao's worries did not come true because Ming Jin himself did not talk much about the old lady and his boss, so naturally he did not mention the cousin.
—————
After washing up, Mingjin asked Shaoyao to call Xie Mingyue.
Xie Mingyue is a rude person, and she is quite impatient as soon as she enters the door. "What do you want to pay tribute to you in the early morning? You are not grandmother..."
“Eat breakfast.”
Xie Mingyue was stunned and thought she had heard it wrong, but the corners of her mouth still couldn't help but curl up, "Why, I want to please me? I'll tell you, I'm not that good..."
When she saw the food on the table, she was about to sit down and was about to get up immediately.
"I'd better go back and eat."
As a result, Ming Jin looked up and saw that she didn't dare to move. He said in a long and long way, "What's the breakfast you are like? It's so cold. Do you eat these in the countryside?"
Side dishes with porridge, and a stack of small white steamed buns, the rest are gone.
"No." Ming Jin first drank water and said, "Eat less than this. Only when you come will you give them more."
She was pampered in Zhuangzi, but not in terms of food, but in other aspects. However, she would not tell Xie Mingyue this, and she was too lazy to pay attention to her long-windedness and just ate herself.
No one supported Xie Mingyue, it was boring to talk too much alone, and he didn't dare to leave, so he could only hold his breath and eat.
After taking a few bites, I found that the taste was pretty good. The side dishes were sweet and refreshing, the steamed buns were soft and mellow, and even the porridge was very warm to the stomach.
"Not enough?" Ming Jin looked at her and swept the plate and asked.
"What? No, I can't eat it anymore." Xie Mingyue blinked and said, "It's done, it's okay, it's okay, I'll leave."
"You could have left, but since you have asked, it seems that you have free time, so wait first."
What are you waiting for? I will naturally wait for Ming Jin to finish eating.
Xie Mingyue was a little impatient and muttered: "Eat breakfast so slowly..."
She was impatient and laughed at Ming Jin, but after a while, her face turned red, because she looked at the person she hated and chewed slowly and pleasing to the eye. She subconsciously remembered her eating habits. After comparing her, even though she had a high opinion of herself, she knew that she was pale in comparison with the other party.
The nannies had taught her some etiquette before, but she didn't listen and no one cared about it. Over time, it became a habit.
Ming Jin didn't let anyone wait for a long time. After eating, he took care of it and took Xie Mingyue away.
Although there has been no one living in Yunqian Tower for so many years, Xie Mingyue rarely comes. Ming Jin noticed her little movements looking around and asked, "Have you been here?"
"I don't want to come here, it's gloomy." Xie Mingyue looked at the antique murals on the walls and on the shelves, but she was very jealous.
She knew that these were treasures and were priceless.
"It's quite gloomy. It's better to open the windows more and brighten the halls for a while. And if you come here a few more times, you will get used to it."
Ming Jin smiled and said, Xie Mingyue was surprised, carefully looked at the back of the former, and thought to himself: It sounds so nice to say, now I am just using me. After the battle with my grandmother is over, I will expel me.
She didn't answer Ming Jin's words, but opened her eyes wide after entering the study.
"many..."
Ming Jin thought she wanted to say a lot of books, but the latter paused and said, "Shelf."
The nanny who followed her side blushed and she wanted to cover the mouth of her fourth girl.
Ming Jin pondered for a moment, responding with a little funny look: "Well... it's a lot of airs."
Xie Mingyue's face turned slightly red, and she snorted lightly, and saw Ming Jin walk to the desk and take out a copybook and hand it to him.
She suddenly felt like she was facing a great enemy, "What are you doing?!"
“Write.”
Seeing that she didn't answer, Ming Jin put the copybook next to her, sat down, grind it up, and said, "If you don't want to write, you can leave."
Xie Mingyue likes to go against others the most. In addition to the old lady making her dare not resist, she is far from obedient to Ming Jin, so she curled her lips: "If I want to stay, can you drive me away?"
"Of course not, you can read books."
Ming Jin was not angry at all, and Gu Zi also used the copybook to practice calligraphy.
Xie Mingyue felt that this person was too boring and taught people one by one, but for a moment he was silent, and the whole world seemed to be quiet with her.
The bored Xie Mingyue could only take out the book to read. She felt sleepy as she looked at it. She didn't dare to sleep, for fear of being embarrassed, and was ridiculed by this annoying sister, so she deliberately started to talk. This person is also a product who is not academic and does not love female workers. The things she is interested in are mostly strange stories. As she pulled, Ming Jin suddenly paused and his clear eyes suddenly became sharper.
"You just mentioned the case of the only son of the Li family in the city..."
"Yes, I was murdered in an inn. I didn't expect that the murderer was a couple, especially the wife, who was really cruel and terrible."
Ming Jin lowered his eyes, pinched his pen, and asked lightly: "You said she was caught, and then..."
"Prison breaking!"
Seeing Ming Jin interested, Xie Mingyue seemed to have found a way to show off and immediately started to talk.
"She is also amazing. After being escorted back by the yamen, she was sent to the prison. She was already sentenced to death by the Wumen Gate. She was so shocked that she was killed the night before. She was stunned and fled. She heard that she found the prison where her husband was detained when she left and killed her husband. Her methods were very cruel. She was so scary!"
"The yamen is in chaos now. Although there are news, some servants are not polite and tell their relatives and friends. But they all know all over the city overnight. Now the county magistrate is very angry. Not only does he severely punish the night-time duty officers, but he also issued four sea arrest warrants to martial law all over the city."
In fact, it is just a murder case, and only the merchant couple is the one who kills people. The reason why they are famous in the county is not because of the wealth of the Li family, but because the details of the case are too strange. The methods of the business woman Li Qingyue alone are enough to make the people in the city taste good for a long time.
How could I imagine that I could escape from prison?
It is simply comparable to a riot, and it is like a martial arts master, which opens the people's eyes.
In fact, Ming Jin was also very surprised. At first glance, he thought he had heard it awkwardly. Now he heard a detailed look from Xie Mingyue. Although there may be rumors among the people, it should probably be correct.
