Xie Ce’s lower eyelashes were still stained with tears. He nodded obediently, “Okay.”

Madam Xie: “…”

Finally, they calmed Xie Ce down. Old Madam Xie turned around and saw the peach wood sword on the gate of the East Courtyard. She frowned and asked, “What are you doing?”

Yin Mingyu did not mention the maids’ talk of “haunted things”. She just smiled and said, “Grandmother, the little langjun cried so hard today. To prevent him from having nightmares, why don’t you take a peach wood sword from your granddaughter-in-law and hang it up there?”

As soon as Xie Ce was involved, Old Madam Xie immediately stopped asking questions and agreed, “Bring it here.”

Yin Mingyu asked Jin’er to retrieve it.

A moment later, Jin Er came back with a smaller peach wood sword. Xie Ce looked at the sword in her hand, then at the big one hanging on the door. He wagged his little finger. “I want the bigger one.”

Yin Mingyu asked the maid to exchange it and bring the big one back to him.

The matter of Old Madam Xie and Yin Mingyu running away every day did not end there.

In the evening, patriarch Xie and Xie Qin returned home and learned about the farce that happened during the day, and they were both silent.

Both the father and the son were standing in front of them with stern faces. Old Madam Xie knew their tempers very well, and seeing their cold faces made her feel unhappy. Moreover, at her age, she was even more rebellious, so she immediately lost her temper and asked, “What? Can’t I even go out now?”

Patriarch Xie said sternly, “Mother, your health is the most important thing……”

Old Madam Xie picked up her cane and knocked on the ground, “I’m fine.”

Yin Mingyu stood aside with her head down, looking down at her own nose and heart, trying her best to reduce her own presence.

Xie Qin directed his gaze at Yin Mingyu, then to his grandmother who was full of energy, and said, “Father, it’s rare for grandma to be happy. The servants will surely take good care of her. Don’t worry.”

When Old Madam Xie saw her grandson siding with her, her face suddenly brightened and she said kindly, “It is still Langjun who is really smart and considerate of me.”

Xie Qin remained calm and did not blindly obey her. He continued, “Grandma, the weather is getting colder. You may catch a cold. You need to be more careful. It will be more appropriate for you to go out more frequently after the beginning of spring next year.”

After all, he still didn’t approve of her going out often.

Old Madam Xie was quite disappointed, but she knew what was good and what was bad, so she didn’t argue any more.

However, in order to show her unhappiness, she drove everyone away and had dinner only with her lovely great-grandson.

Xie Qin had something else to do, so he had to go back to the front yard with his father. Before he parted with Yin Mingyu, he told her, “We’ll have dinner in the east yard.”

Yin Mingyu nodded, and asked the maid to inform the kitchen when she returned.

Jin’er and Yin’er helped her pack up the things the old lady bought today, their faces full of smiles.

Yin Mingyu lazily leaned on the couch and watched the two people’s actions, and suddenly asked: “Has there been crying in the past few days?”

Yin’er replied crisply, “Madam, I haven’t heard about it in the past few days.”

Yin Mingyu pointed at the skirt in Jin’er’s hand and said, “I will wear this to the main courtyard tomorrow.”

Jin’er carefully put it aside.
