The Stepmother is Unkind

In the capital, the Xie family usually travels. Of course, it is impossible to bring too many guards around the city, so only a dozen guards accompany them.

There are more masked people, and the number of masked people confronting the Xie family guards far exceeds the Xie family guards, plus Yin Mingyu and the guards around them who threaten with knives, it is roughly estimated that there are thirty or forty people.

They all have knives in their hands, but this is really a small scene for the well-informed Xie Xiaolangjun.

The timid Xie Ce opened his round eyes, looked at the masked man's black hood with curiosity, opened his mouth and asked, "Why cover it? Don't you want to be seen?"

Of course you don't want to be seen by covering your face!

The masked people all looked at Xie Ce with strange eyes.

Ye Xiaolangjun couldn't care less about his fear, and looked at Xie Ce with wide eyes in surprise.

It was Xie Family Guard, who had experienced a lot, but his heart was calm.

And because of Xie Ce's naive words, the confrontation situation at this time became more and more delicate.

Xie Ce was still out of the situation. Seeing that no one answered, he wanted to speak again.

But this time the masked people are different from the "simple" Yan people in South Vietnam.

Yin Mingyu was quick-witted, covered Xie Ce's mouth with his backhand, and smiled slightly embarrassedly at the masked man in front of him, "Continue, you continue."

Xie Ce said "uuuuuuuu" twice, and his two little hands tugged at hers.

Yin Mingyu glanced out of the corner of the eye, she was misaligned just now, and covered his mouth and nose, so her hand slid down, exposing his nose, and only covering his mouth.

Xie Ce resumed breathing, stopped pulling, and looked at the masked man obediently.

The masked man who came to kidnap: "..."

Thank you family members are sick!

Now is not the time to worry about these, the man with the knife in front of Yin Mingyu found the rhythm of the hijacking, and said coldly to the Xie family guard: "Our master just wants to invite Mrs. Xie Shao and Mrs. Xie Xiaolang to sit down, you'd better not act rashly, Otherwise, the sword has no eyes!"

They were numerous and powerful, and the guards did not dare to fight hard, and all looked at the young lady.

During the brief confrontation just now, the guards were already injured. Yin Mingyu glanced over and asked, "Will you hurt the lives of my Xie family guards?"

The masked man opposite Yin Mingyu was the leader. She didn't expect that she would still care about it, so she muttered: "As long as you are honest, we will naturally not hurt Mrs. Xie Shao, nor will we kill them."

"If you go against this time, your masters will be covered with mold, and you will be in vain." Yin Mingyu nodded slightly to the Xie family guards without waiting for the other party's reaction after saying the unfortunate words.

The guard duty carefully cultivated by the Xie family is to protect the main family, but at the cost of their own lives, but Yin Mingyu never regards the lives of the guards as such.

The Xie family guards trusted her very much. If the young lady ordered a forced killing, they would obey without hesitation. When the young lady asked them to put down their weapons, they slowly bent down and put down the knives in their hands.

As soon as the Xie family guard put down the knife, the masked man nearby kicked the knife, some picked up the knife, and some quickly stepped forward to control their hands and feet.

Naturally, they did not leave Yin Mingyu and a few others, and were even more cautious.

Yin Mingyu looked at the thin iron chains on Jin'er Yin'er's hands and feet, and then looked at the extra thick long iron chains under her feet, silent.

Is this too much?

Compared with humiliation, she is more dissatisfied with the different treatment.

Xie Ce and Ye Xiaolangjun were young, they were completely ignored, and they were not tied up.

The two children looked at Yin Mingyu being tied up, and their expressions changed, especially Xie Ce, who asked unhappily, "Why tied mother?"

The head of the masked man did not answer, and after the carriage came over, he urged them to get on the carriage.

Yin Mingyu didn't move, and neither did the rest of the Xie family.

The head of the masked man urged coldly: "Mrs. Xie Shao, you have to see the situation clearly and don't do unnecessary things."

Yin Mingyu still didn't move, and said faintly, "I'm a weak woman, I can't walk, and I can't get on the carriage."

After she finished speaking, she also tried to lift her foot, lifted it a little with "difficulty", then fell down again, and shouted artificially, "It hurts~"

Masked man leader: "…"

There are so many things.

A weak woman from someone else's family was held hostage, and she was trembling with fright for a long time. She could do whatever she wanted. The "weak" young lady of the Xie family chose this and that.

The masked man took a deep breath and gritted his teeth: "What do you want, Mrs. Xie Shao?"

With this familiar style, Jin'er and Yin'er all bowed their heads, and the Xie family's guards also watched silently.

Yin Mingyu would never drag such an iron chain away. He swept through the masked people, found the one with the most handsome eyebrows, pointed at him, and said, "Let him carry it for me."

The masked man who was accused looked at the leader who had been talking with surprise in his eyes.

The head of the masked man waved at him, signaling him to hurry over.

The masked man with delicate eyebrows put away the knife hesitantly and walked behind Mrs. Xie Jiashao.

Yin Mingyu raised his hand again.

The masked leader suppressed his anger and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I'm a housewife, how can I be so close to a man outside? Find a rope and pull it up."

The head of the masked man didn't want to talk too much nonsense with her and let people do it.

But with the rope, Yin Mingyu was pulled by her foot, and it was still inconvenient to walk. She ordered two masked men with the second and third pleasing eyebrows and asked them to tie the shackles on her ankles with ropes. Carry on both sides.

She walks a few steps by herself, and has to ask three people to help...

The head of the masked man had never seen such a difficult woman before, his eyes lit up, he weighed it for a moment, and said, "I'll untie it for Mrs. Xie Shao."

They can lock it when they want, and unlock it when they want to. Is her chain so easy to unlock?

Yin Mingyu refused: "No."

Masked man leader: "…"

He covered his face, and the Xie family guards felt the other party's intention to strangle the young lady, and looked at the young lady worriedly.

Jin'er persuaded: "Young madam, forget it, let them untie it."

In his eyes, it was: Madam, the steps are given to you, enough is enough.

Yin Mingyu then reluctantly said: "Okay, let's untie it."

The head of the masked man waved his hand impatiently, "Untie and untie."

So, the shackles stayed on Yin Mingyu's feet for less than a cup of tea, and then left her again.

Yin Mingyu didn't bother any more this time, and walked obediently to the carriage. Jin'er Yin'er and the two children followed her under the threat of the masked man's blade.

Before getting into the car, Xie Ce suddenly asked, "What about the sheep?"

Yin Mingyu said rationally: "You can't make an inch and make trouble."

Immediately, he turned around with another face, and told the masked man: "The sheep must follow us, otherwise how will I know if you will kill it and eat it? Without the sheep, our whole family is not at ease, and if we are not at ease, we will not be honest and obedient. disobedient…"

Xie Ce was beside him, nodding heavily.

The head of the masked man was extremely annoyed. Although there were very few people nearby, it was a little troublesome after a long delay, so he said in a vicious voice, "Take it away!"

They didn't intend to leave any traces in place, but Mrs. Xie's young lady asked to come out one by one, which made people feel irritated.

Yin Mingyu was relieved and instructed them: "Prepare more grass, otherwise it won't have to eat, so it has to keep calling."

The masked man loaded the sheep into the carriage, and prepared some grass casually. Sure enough, the sheep ate on their stomachs without saying a word.

As for the other guards, they were brought into other carriages, and after walking with Yin Mingyu and the others for a while, they turned a corner and walked into the mountains.

Yin Mingyu heard the movement on the carriage, but she didn't react. She couldn't stop it at the moment.

The carriage was moving forward, and the windows of the carriage were tightly sealed. Ye Xiaolang was afraid and asked in a low voice, "Mrs. Xie Shao, where are we going?"

The carriage didn't turn around, it was heading away from the capital. Yin Mingyu probably had some guesses, but for the two children, it didn't matter where the destination was, the important thing was to feel at ease.

So Yin Mingyu leaned comfortably on the carriage, yawned, and said without worry: "Sooner or later, if you two have nothing to do, why not endorse it? After today, the imperial examination will be closer to you. for a day."

Jun Ye Xiaolang: "..."

Sudden sadness.

Her attitude did affect other people. Jin'er and Yin'er did not show panic on their faces. Instead, they were more concerned about the placement of the chains and adjusted them from time to time.

Xie Ce didn't want to endorse, so he leaned over and fiddled with their chains.

At first, he squatted in the middle of the carriage and fiddled with the chains on the feet of the two of them, placing them in various shapes. Later, two chains were not enough for him to play with, so he let Jin'er and Yin'er's legs be together.

After a while, Jin'er and Yin'er sat directly in the middle, playing with the two chains in his hands.

Xie Ce seemed to be heartless, Ye Xiaolangjun didn't want to show too much fear.

And when Ye Xiaolangjun made a move, the original random shape turned into a variety of words that could be placed.

Yin Mingyu couldn't help but sigh: "Sure enough, you need a companion to read."

The carriage has been heading south, and the sky is gradually darkening. The sheep are lying on the carriage and eating while leaving some sheep dung eggs from time to time, rolling down from the back of the carriage.

At this time, they had already returned to Xie's house, but they haven't returned to the house today. Mrs. Xie sent an **** to the Beijing Academy to inquire.

However, just wait and wait, not only Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce did not come back, but also the people who sent them out.

My aunt and Bai Zhixu both came to the west courtyard after hearing that they had not returned.

Bai Zhixu comforted: "Auntie, cousin may just be delayed by something, and she will be back soon."

But the auntie worried: "My niece doesn't seem to be someone who doesn't even give letters when she has something to do..."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, she was even more worried.

When Bai Zhixu met, he reluctantly touched his mother's hand.

Every time her daughter did this, the auntie knew that she had said something wrong and shut up quickly.

Mrs. Xie saw that it was about to get dark, worried that the city gate would be locked, and sent another guard out.

Bai Zhixu patiently comforted her: "Auntie, there's a cousin-in-law here, don't you worry about my cousin-in-law?"

Mrs. Xie frowned, as if a boulder weighed in her heart, "Your uncle didn't come back..."

In the morning, as soon as Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce left, Emperor Zhao sent eunuchs back to Beijing to go to several houses to announce the marriage will, and the objects of the marriage were the daughter of King Ding, the princess of Xunyang, and the two sons whose marriage was not yet decided.

Xunyang County Master has already reached the age of marriage, and it is not unusual to give marriage, but one of the third son of King Ding, Qin Dang, and the fourth son of King Ding, are only eleven years old this year, and the other is only nine years old. The family background of the fiancee is also excellent.

Not only that, Emperor Zhao also gave King Ding's other two grown sons the titles of titles. Although the titles were not high, this special favor seemed to be a certain signal, and Prince Ding's mansion immediately became crowded.

Mrs. Xie had a bad premonition in her heart. That's why Yin Mingyu and Xie Ce sent people out twice because they were late. They were only the wife of the family and couldn't say it, so the family was in a panic.

And she didn't want to speak, so Mrs. aunt and Bai Zhixu watched the atmosphere and accompanied them quietly.

After a quarter of an hour, the guard who went out hurriedly returned.

As soon as Mrs. Xie saw someone coming in, she immediately asked, "How? Is there any news about Mrs. Younger and Mr. Xiao Lang?"

The guard looked serious and replied, "Madam, the city gate is closed, and my subordinates could not go out."

The auntie and her daughter looked at each other and wondered, "Isn't it time yet? How could the gate of the capital be closed earlier?"

Mrs. Xie's heart sank and she asked, "What else is there?"

The guard bowed to report: "Madam, someone beat the drum and reported that His Royal Highness was the chief envoy of the previous murder of King Ding, and he had no intention of being a minister. They closed the city gate ahead of time and surrounded Cheng Wangfu."

"The streets are empty now."

"what?!"

My aunt and Bai Zhixu spoke in unison, surprised.

Mrs. Xie's hunch came true, but she calmed down a little. If Yin Mingyu couldn't enter Beijing because the city gate was closed, she would be able to take care of herself and Xie Ce.

At this time, the head of the Xie family also sent someone back to ask Mrs. Xie to close the gate of the house, and the people in the house were not allowed to go out for the time being.

Mrs. Xie immediately made arrangements for all parts of the mansion, and all the guards were alert to prevent any accidents.

Cheng Wangfu—

"Snapped!"

The Weiyang County Lord fell to the ground, covering his face and lying motionless on the ground.

"Researcher!"

Princess Cheng rushed over and held up her face, and when she saw the blood on the corner of her daughter's mouth, tears instantly flowed down.

"This king has all been defeated by women!" King Cheng glared angrily, especially not knowing his hatred, he picked up the teacup and smashed it at the county master of Weiyang.

The Weiyang County Lord sat dazedly and did not hide.

Princess Cheng quickly stood in front of her, using her back to block the heavily smashed teacup.

Upon seeing this, the Weiyang County Master returned to his senses and asked anxiously, "Mother, are you alright?"

Princess Cheng kept her behind, crawled to King Cheng, and begged: "My lord, it is the one who seeks Langen to avenge his revenge, and Yan'er was also deceived by others..."

When the county master of Weiyang heard the word "Xunlang", his eyes were filled with pain and hatred.

King Cheng kicked Princess Kai Cheng, pointed at the Weiyang County Master and scolded: "If she hadn't been a woman who didn't know how to behave, would she be today?!"

The Weiyang County Lord crawled over to help his mother up, his proud head hung low, unable to refute.

She never thought that someone who she thought was the most harmless would suddenly stab her and her whole family with the worst knife.

She doesn't even know why...

The mother and daughter were attached to each other, Princess Cheng wept silently, and the Weiyang County Lord never cried, only a trace of blood on the corner of her mouth showed her embarrassment.

King Cheng paced back and forth anxiously, stopped abruptly, and ordered Princess Cheng: "I'll find a way to contact ⑥ Shang Shu, I must start something, first control the capital, if he dares to betray me, you will go to **** with me!"

Princess Cheng did not dare to refute, but cowardly agreed.

At this time, King Cheng was very fortunate that Emperor Zhao was in the palace, and the officials of the right and the right had no right to mobilize the guards in the capital.

He still has a chance!

"My father chose King Ding?" King Cheng's eyes were full of ferocity, "I want him to die!"
