Old Madam Xie saved her face and taught her a lesson lightly, “You are a wife of the Xie family, how can you be so playful?”

Yin Mingyu was smart and didn’t refute. Instead, she reflected on herself and said, “Granddaughter-in-law is indeed a little clumsy. She is already overwhelmed by managing sister’s dowry and can’t help mother at all.”

“If you knew, you would pay more attention to everything else in the future.”

Yin Mingyu nodded, raised her candied haws again, and asked, “Grandma, do you want to try it?”

She turned the situation around too fast. Old Madam Xie paused for a moment before saying, “Since it’s your intention, I’ll try it.”

Yin Mingyu smiled imperceptibly and handed it over respectfully.

Old Madam Xie had poor teeth, so she only ate one haw and that was enough. Yin Mingyu took it back and continued eating without any discomfort.

At noon, they had lunch at a restaurant. During the casual conversation, Old Madam Xie mentioned other time-honored restaurants in Beijing. Yin Mingyu said with great interest, “Next time there’s a chance, grandma, bring granddaughter-in-law there, okay?”

Old Madam Xie nodded modestly.

After the meal, the two of them strolled around the West Market. Old Madam Xie was generous and bought several pieces of jewelry for Yin Mingyu, and also bought gifts for everyone in the Xie family. Only then did the two of them return home.

Madam Xie saw that the old lady’s face was lifted, so she bought another gift and gave Yin Mingyu several appreciative looks.

Yin Mingyu went out for a walk and gained a lot, which was again recognized by Madam Xie. More importantly, when she returned to the East Courtyard, she received something that Madam Xie had someone send to her.

Today is a very satisfying day.

The next day, as soon as she arrived at the main courtyard, Old Madam Xie asked, “Why are you here so late? Didn’t we say yesterday that we would go to see your other house?”

What was……agreed upon?

Yin Mingyu was at a loss. When she saw Old Madam Xie staring at her, she hurriedly said to Madam Xie, “Yes, yes I did.”

So Yin Mingyu brought Old Madam Xie to her four-courtyard house in Buzhenfang.

Her chamberlain Ding Er and others were guarding the house. When they saw their master suddenly come with the old Madam of the Xie family, the situation was quite chaotic. Jin’er went to make arrangements and finally managed to place everything in order.

For this reason, Old Madam Xie also pointed out Yin Mingyu’s mistakes in managing domestic affairs.

Yin Mingyu accepted the advice and took care of the maids according to the old lady’s instructions.

After the event, the group went to the time-honored restaurant that Old Madam Xie mentioned, tried some delicious food, and visited a few garment shops. They returned home at 3 p.m.

On the third and fourth days, Old Madam Xie took her out on the pretext of looking after the house. Yin Mingyu received gifts and had good food and drink, so she was very happy.

But she only had four houses, two of which were given to her sisters. She used them as an excuse. Next time, she would have no houses to look at.

Old Madam Xie was in high spirits and said, “Aren’t you still in charge of Ce’er’s mother’s shop? You have a wooden head.”

Yin Mingyu: “……”alright.

But although the two of them were happy, the people in the mansion were not happy.

The first two days were fine, but when they kept running out, Madam Xie was the first to sense something was wrong.

Of course, the one who reacted even more strongly than her was Xie Ce.

On Xie Ce’s first day after school, Madam Xie comforted him and he accepted it.

The next day after school, his great-grandmother and mother were not at home again. Madam Xie tried to comfort him again, and he accepted it reluctantly.

After school on the third day, his great-grandmother and mother were still not there, so Madam Xie’s attempts to comfort him were of little use.

On the fourth day, he was not in a good mood when reading and was distracted from time to time. When he returned to the main courtyard, he could not find his great-grandmother anywhere. He went to the East Courtyard, but his mother was not there either. There were only sheep in the yard.

Xie Ce felt extremely aggrieved. He stood in front of the sheep and burst into tears. “Lost, lost again……”

The lamb was frightened and backed away, sticking close to the wall.

Xie Ce opened his eyes while crying, and saw that the sheep ignored him. He cried even more sadly, “Wuwuwu……”

Madam Xie followed him and saw the large peach wood sword hanging on the courtyard gate. She was speechless for a moment before walking in and coaxing Xie Ce softly.

As soon as Yin Mingyu and Old Madam Xie returned home, they learned that Xie Ce was crying in the East Courtyard, and hurried over.

Old Madam Xie also used the peach wood sword on the east courtyard gate to block her chest before stepping in.

Yin Mingyu walked in naturally and stood innocently at the back, watching Old Madam Xie coaxing her great-grandson.

Xie Ce’s crying this time had absolutely nothing to do with her.
