Chapter 408 Stepmother

Chapter 408 Stepmother

As soon as I hung up my clothes and quilts, someone came looking for me.

"Miss Ming, what are you doing?" A girl wearing a blue floral top and black trousers asked timidly in front of Ming Yuejiao with a basket.

"Wash the clothes and quilts in the house, it's too dirty." Ming Yuejiao replied with a sweet smile on her face.

"Where's the young master?" The girl stretched her neck and glanced into the room. Before she could see clearly, she was blocked by Ming Yuejiao's figure.

"Jing Chen is resting in the house. Who are you? What's the matter here?" Ming Yuejiao looked at the ordinary-looking girl in front of her with a smile in her eyes, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"My servant in the Marshal's mansion is called Xiaotao, and he came to deliver meals to you and Young Master Jing." Xiaotao replied respectfully.

When she heard that someone else was here to deliver food, the smile on Ming Yuejiao's face became real, and she said enthusiastically, "So it's Xiaotao, give me the food!"

Reaching out to take the basket from Xiaotao's hand, Ming Yue said with a sweet smile, "Let me see what you brought us!"

In front of Xiaotao, Mingyuejiao pushed off the cloth covering the basket, and put two plates of green vegetables inside, as if they had been washed by water, no oil or water could be seen.

"Is the food in your Marshal's Mansion all like this?" Ming Yuejiao asked with an inexplicable smile on her face.

"The eldest young master is in poor health and cannot eat meat." Xiao Tao did not dare to look into Ming Yuejiao's eyes and lowered her head as she said.

"Oh, so it is like this!"

"Miss Ming, if I don't have any other orders, I'll go back first." For some reason, Xiao Tao stood in front of Ming Yuejiao, feeling that this harmless-looking beautiful girl in front of her was extremely oppressive.

"Well, I hope that when you deliver food next time, you can send some meaty ones. After all, Jingchen can't eat, but it doesn't mean I can't eat it." Mingyue Jiao said to Xiaotao with a non-smiling smile.

"Okay, Miss Ming, I'll ask Madam for instructions when I get back."

After Xiao Tao left, Ming Yuejiao entered the house with a basket and asked Jing Chen who was lying on the dining table, "Does Mrs. Jing have any grudge against you?"

Hearing Mrs. Jing's words, Jing Chen's eyes flashed a cold light and said, "She was originally my mother's cousin, but after my mother passed away, when I was young, she married into Jing Chen in the name of taking care of me." The government became my stepmother."

"It seems that she is quite good at taking care of people. Not only does she take care of you on the bed, but she also gives you a few green leaves every day. Does your father know about this?" Ming Yuejiao asked as she put the basket on the dining table .

"Father has always ignored the trivial matters at home, and he seldom returns to the Marshal's Mansion." Jing Chen pursed his lips and said.

"Oh, that means your father doesn't know that you are living such a miserable life, and he may know it as if he doesn't know it!"

Hearing Ming Yuejiao's words, Jing Chen pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

Seeing that the expression on Jingchen's face was not good, Ming Yuejiao stopped asking any more questions.

He took out the food in the basket and said, "I'll just make do with it at noon today. I've asked Xiaotao to bring us some greasy food next time."

"Everything in the house is under the control of that woman, Yu Baiyun. Xiaotao is just a girl who delivers food, so she can't make the decision."

"I know, Xiaotao said that she would go back and ask your stepmother for instructions. If your stepmother still wants to feed us this kind of boiled vegetables, then I can only go to the kitchen to get them by myself. After all, your body is too weak now and you need to take good care of it. .”

In the main building, Yu Baiyun was sitting on the sofa, slowly shaking the round fan in his hand.

Xiao Tao who was standing in front of her lowered her head, not daring to let out a breath.

"How is Miss Ming's life at the young master's place? Are you still used to it?"

"Report to Madam." Xiaotao said respectfully, "I went to deliver food at noon today, and saw Miss Ming drying clothes and sheets, the windows in the house were opened, and even the branches of the locust tree were pruned."

"Oh?" Yu Baiyun's hand holding the round fan paused, and a smile appeared in his long and narrow eyes, "I thought she was a young lady who didn't work hard and couldn't distinguish grains, but I didn't expect that I underestimated her."

"Where's the young master?" Yu Baiyun continued to ask, "How does he react to Miss Ming's arrival?"

"Miss Ming blocked the door, I didn't see Eldest Young Master." Xiao Tao said cautiously.

"Hehe!" Yu Baiyun said with a smile, "It seems that this down-and-out lady of the Ming family really treats our young master as her fiancé, but I don't know how long this friendship can last."

"Ma'am." Xiaotao looked at Yu Baiyun anxiously and said, "Miss Ming asked me to deliver some meaty food next time."

"Then let her be satisfied. She is just a useless person and a down-and-out young lady whose family has been ruined. She can't make any big waves." Yu Baiyun said casually, waving the round fan.

When the sun was about to set, Ming Yuejiao finished cleaning the house.

The washed clothes were already dry, Ming Yuejiao took a white robe, came to Jing Chen and asked, "How about wearing this dress?"

Jing Chen, who had been lying on the table for a whole day without daring to move, would be fine if he could have clothes to wear at the moment, and he didn't care what clothes to wear at all.

Taking a casual glance at the clothes in Ming Yuejiao's hand, she nodded in agreement and said, "This dress is fine."

"I also think this dress looks good." Ming Yuejiao said with a smile, "Then let me help you put this dress on."

After finishing speaking, Ming Yuejiao stretched out her hand and removed the leaves covering Jing Chen's body.

"Wait a minute." Jingchen hurriedly grabbed Ming Yuejiao's hand and said, "I can dress myself."

"I don't think you can." Mingyuejiao shook the leaf in front of his eyes, like a prodigal who specializes in teasing women from good families, and said jokingly, "I haven't seen you, why are you ashamed?" !"

"Why are you so shameless?" Jing Chen said with a thin layer of red on his body.

"There is no way, my fiancé is too thin-skinned, so I have to thicken my skin." Mingyue said with a coquettish smile.

"Okay, don't make trouble, be obedient, after I help you get dressed, I have to make the bed!"

Looking at Mingyue's clear eyes, Jing Chen had no choice but to let go of her hand resignedly, closed his eyes, endured his shame, and let her help him put on his clothes.

After putting on the robe, the girl picked him up and placed him in the cleaned wheelchair.

"Okay, you can play by yourself first, I will help you make the bed."

Jingchen took the girl's arm and said with a flushed face, "I haven't finished wearing my clothes yet!"

"Isn't it already dressed for you?" Ming Yuejiao raised her eyebrows slightly and said.
