After feeding the sheep, Yin Mingyu sent Xie Ce back to the main courtyard, and then took the invitations to the West Courtyard to find Madam Xie.

Madam Xie was not surprised by her arrival and asked directly: “Are you here for the invitations received?”

Yin Mingyu saluted, then smiled sheepishly to her mother-in-law: “This is an invitation just for me. Although I read the brochure mother gave me before, I still want to ask mother for advice before I reply.”

She was enjoying herself all day long in her boudoir, and there were no handkerchiefs from other houses. Basically, all the ladies who sent invitations were the ones she met while playing Cuju that day. There was only one invitation from Jiang Fourth Lady, which was surprising.

Madam Xie also pointed out Jiang Fourth Lady first: “She is a good person, and involved in not much. You can attend.”

Yin Mingyu nodded and took notes.

Madam Xie picked up Princess Xunyang’s post again and said, “Although Princess Xunyang is the di daughter of Prince Ding, there is no need to bear any burden.”

Then she talked about a few places she could visit or avoid, and then she placed down the invitations and said, “You have a sense of propriety. You don’t need any more advice from me. You just go and have fun. No one dares to embarrass you now.”

Yin Mingyu agreed.

Madam Xie added: “Let’s have dinner together with the Old Madam at the her place. Your father came back early today.”

“Alright.”

In the evening, Xie Qin returned home and learned that Yin Mingyu had sent someone to give him something. He did not go directly to the main courtyard, but went back to the study to take a look.

As soon as he saw the dark mass on the paper, he subconsciously thought of the note she sent earlier, and then he noticed Yin Mingyu’s words, and then fell silent.

Xie Qin really couldn’t believe it was him in that painting.

Even if it weren’t for Yin Mingyu’s calligraphy, he wouldn’t be able to determine the direction of the painting and his head or feet.

After Xie Qin arrived at the main courtyard, he faced Xie Ce, who was full of expectation and fear, and Yin Mingyu, who had an appearance of this having nothing to do with herself and had a smile on her face. He finally praised: “Not bad.”

Xie Ce was so happy that he completely forgot about his fear of his father and started to circle around him.

It was rare for the Xie family to see the father and son getting close to each other, and they were all very surprised. With each other’s words, the atmosphere in the house became joyful.

After the meal was served, Xie Ce also wanted to sit next to his father, so Old Madam Xie quickly asked someone to move his chair over.

Xie Ce sat down, then laboriously scooped up the vegetables and put them into his father’s bowl.

The elders in Xie’s family all praised Xie Ce for being “filial”, and Xie Qin calmly ate the food he scooped.

When Xie Ce saw his father eating, he showed a big smile and suddenly said: “he won’t eat paintings.”

Yin Mingyu choked, coughed a few times, and held it back. When everyone looked over, she apologized: “I was discourteous. Grandma, father, and mother, forgive me.”

Everyone didn’t take it seriously, but she also interrupted Xie Ce’s words just now.

Xie Qin silently poured a cup of tea for Yin Mingyu and put it in her hand.

Yin Mingyu picked it up and said softly: “Thank you, Langjun.”

Xie Qin nodded calmly.

After the meal, the couple walked together, silent at first. When they reached the garden, Xie Qin said: “Since I promised you, I will treat you honestly in the future.”

Yin Mingyu looked at him, lowered her eyes after a moment, and said with a smile: “Although I am a woman, I still make a promise worth a thousand pieces of gold.”

It would be best if a balance could be achieved.
