Her authority was challenged by a lamb. After Yin Mingyu threatened him with an “all-sheep feast”, she changed into a light cotton gown and brought the family over to the stream to fish.
Xie Ce wanted to lead the lamb. After getting Yin Mingyu’s consent, he grabbed the rope with both hands and said to the maid holding the lamb, “I will hold it.”
Yin Mingyu nodded, “Teach him how to lead it.”
Xie Ce was overjoyed to gain control. Even though the long rope dragged on the ground and almost knocked him down, he still smiled.
However, the lamb that was about to be promoted to the right minister’s family was not a calm one. Originally, Xie Ce was leading the way holding the rope, but with a kick of his hoof, he passed Xie Ce and rushed forward.
The rope followed it forward quickly, then straightened, and Xie Ce was dragged forward and had to stagger.
Seeing that he was about to fall, the nanny nervously exclaimed in a low voice, “Xiao Langjun!” She hurried over to help Xie Ce.
They made a fuss, but Yin Mingyu calmly raised her foot and stepped on the last end of the rope on the ground.
The little lamb in front was running hard as if to rush to freedom. Suddenly, the rope around its neck tightened. The next moment, its head stopped in place, but its body rushed forward due to inertia and was strangled by the rope again.
“Beep——”
The little lamb brayed and fell to the ground.
Xie Ce was better. He wasn’t running fast to begin with, but the rope tightened and loosened, causing him to lose his balance and fall forward.

But he originally had a short rope, so he jumped forward and fell straight onto the little lamb that was pretending to be dead.
“Beep!”
Xie Ce was startled and was picked up by the nanny, and he hugged the nanny’s neck tightly.
The little lamb stood up unsteadily from the ground, as if it had drunk fake wine, and took two staggering steps before steadying itself.
Yin Mingyu raised her feet and said to Yin’er: “Untie the rope.”
Yin’er was worried, “Will he run around?”
Yin Mingyu glanced at the tender lamb and said leisurely: “There are many hungry beasts in the mountains. I was just hoping to have some meat delivered to my door.”
The lamb was kicking on the spot, and was very well-behaved while untying the ropes. They were no longer bound, and stopped running around. They just ran and jumped near them.
But it is still unfriendly to Xie Ce. As long as Xie Ce comes near, it will avoid it.
Xie Ce thought it was playing with him, so he continued to chase it, which made the sheep irritable.
There is a fishing platform by the stream, which is two feet wide, but there is no fence around it.
Jin’er directed the maids to serve tea and snacks, while Yin’er led others to light mugwort to repel mosquitoes.
Yin Mingyu sat on the futon, attached the fishing bait herself, and casually warned: “Don’t let Xiao Langjun go near the water.”
“Yes, Young Madam.”
