Xie Qin said something that makes a lot of sense —— no one is perfect, and everyone needs to reflect on ourselves often.

Yin Mingyu was stimulated by the dowry house that Jiang Fourth Lady brought with her, and then found that since she returned to the capital, her thoughts had become unconsciously complicated. Although her goal was still to live a comfortable life, she paid too much attention to things other than herself, and her happiness was affected.

This is also a matter of habit, which is really terrible.

She sat behind her desk and reflected on herself, and decided to do more self-satisfying things, bring her attention back to renovating the house, concentrating on reading books, and then learning to draw.

Daye does not allow private houses to be built too high, and the maximum height is two stories. Although Yin Mingyu’s land is large, she only plans to collect rent for the time being, but she cannot just build more houses blindly. She has to consider the cost, lighting, environment, and the people who will rent it out in the future……

She read books diligently all day and felt thoroughly tired out the next day. She collapsed on the couch and didn’t want to move. She called Qingyu and Hong Chou to come in and help her adjust her mood.

“Young Madam.” The two maids bowed respectfully together.

Yin Mingyu patted the soft couch beside her and commanded Hong Chou, “Be good, Hong Chou, sit here and let me lean on you for a while.”

Hong Chou sat obediently behind her, and when the young lady laid down, she slightly tilted her body to adjust her position to make her more comfortable.

Yin Mingyu sighed and once again lamented that men are blessed.

Qingyu took the initiative to ask to read the book.

It is a special kind of pleasure for a beauty to read the stories of gods and ghosts.

Yin Mingyu directly pointed to a not-so-scary book of ghost stories and taught Qingyu to read it slowly, while she listened with her eyes closed.

Jin’er and Yin’er came in and saw how happy she was. Yin’er, in particular, mumbled something under her breath.

Yin Mingyu opened her eyes slightly and laughed, “What are you mumbling about, girl?”

Qingyu stopped reading for the moment. Yin’er glanced at the book and said mysteriously, “Madam, you don’t know that the maids in our yard are secretly saying that there are ghosts at night.”

Yin Mingyu knocked her and lightly scolded her, “You are exaggerating. These things are extremely taboo in the inner house. Don’t you know?”

Yin’er shrank her neck and whispered in defense, “I’m not exaggerating. Several people heard intermittent crying at night.”

“I didn’t hear this.”

Yin Mingyu was not hiding anything. She slept very well at night and really didn’t hear anything. “Continue reading.”

Qingyu picked up the book and continued reading. She happened to come to a plot about a ghost child seeking revenge. It was unknown what Hong Chou and Yin’er were imagining and both exposed fear on their faces.

Seeing that they were afraid, Yin Mingyu asked Qingyu to stop reading and asked Yin’er to get her precious treasures.

Yin’er quickly rummaged through the box and placed it between them.

Yin Mingyu pointed to the largest peach wood sword and said, “Hang it on the door. Jin’er, come with me to see mother. Let’s go out.”

Yin’er was holding a wooden sword. When she heard that they were going out, she said quickly, “Madam, I want to go too.”

Yin Mingyu glanced from her face to Qingyu and Hong Chou, and saw that although the two of them didn’t say anything, there was some yearning in their eyes, so she waved her hand and said, “Go on.”

When Qingyu and Hong Chou heard this, they were extremely surprised and their faces brightened up.

Seeing that they were in a good mood, Yin Mingyu told Yin’er to prepare first. When she went out of the courtyard and asked, he learned that Madam Xie was in the main courtyard, so she went into the main courtyard.

Old Madam Xie, who was usually a very energetic old lady, was leaning on the couch at this moment, looking somewhat depressed.
