Mi Xiayao returned to the tent in a daze, and Song Qiao put Mi Xiaobao on the bed and just put her to sleep.
It was rare for her to see Madam in such an emotion. Song Qiao asked worriedly: "Did you not negotiate well with Mr. Pei?"
"No." The negotiation went very smoothly.
She is now working with Pei Xingyuan, and Mi Xiaobao has Pei Xingyuan, Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple as his "biological father" to support the situation, so he is not afraid of having to bear the reputation of being an illegitimate child.
It's just... that child is in trouble, and she doesn't want his appearance to be seen by too many people.
Apart from this, there is also the matter that the prince is very worried about her.
Obviously, Pei Xingyuan and the prince were in a falling-out situation. If the prince really wanted to attack her, he would have to consider Pei Xingyuan's status.
Although in this cooperation, Mi Xiayao has the upper hand.
But the way she looked at Pei Xingyuan, she always felt that something had changed in him.
"It's getting late, I have to deal with the master tomorrow..." Song Qiao reminded sadly.
Mi Xiayao sighed, that's all, let's take a step at a time.
——
The next morning, she washed herself up early and went to say good morning to her grandfather with Mi Xiaobao in her arms.
Mr. and Mrs. Mi also got up early in the morning, during which Mi Kexian stood aside and carefully served Mrs. Mi.
When Mi Xiayao stepped into the tent, Mi Kexian's eyes had been quietly sizing her up.
It was so lively last night that Mi Kexian was ordered by Mrs. Mi not to leave the tent, but this didn't stop her from hearing some rumors.
"Sit down and call Pei Xingyuan over."
The first half of what Mr. Mi said was to Mi Xiayao, and the second half was when he asked the servant next to him to call someone.
Not long after the servant walked out, he turned back, followed by Pei, one of the parties involved.
"Master, good morning, Master."
He bowed and saluted respectfully, but quickly stood up straight.
"Didn't Sister Xian say that she would like to play with the third girl of the Lin family later? Go and get ready." Mi Lao glanced at the other granddaughter.
Mi Kexian originally tried her best to minimize her presence.
She wanted to stay here and watch the fun, but she didn't expect that Mr. Mi would still remember her presence.
Unsatisfied, but not daring to refute what Mr. Mi said, she reluctantly left the camp.
Without outsiders around, Mi Lao's eyes naturally fell on the two of them.
"Explain to me when you met and whether this child is yours."
This is what the parents asked afterward.
Mi Xiayao pursed her lips and looked sideways at Pei Xingyuan beside her.
Although the latter did not meet her gaze, his hand fell on the back of her hand and shook it comfortingly.
"When I went to Jingzhou City to handle the case last year, Ayao was in the process of making peace with the Duan family. I secretly helped a few times with the idea that she was the granddaughter of the master."
Mi Xiayao looked at him completely this time.
What the hell is he talking about! She and Duan Honglin are all on her own!
To destroy her independent side so openly is too much!
"Later, as we got along, I gradually fell in love with A-Yao."
Mi Xiayao's eyes twitched.
Don't love me, there will be no result.
"Ayao, is that true?" Mrs. Mi seemed very satisfied with the story, so she asked the woman what she meant.
She was still constantly criticizing Pei Xingyuan's ability to tell lies.
But the next second she turned back to meet Mrs. Mi's smile, and she said frankly: "That's right, if Xingyuan hadn't secretly helped me, judging from the Duan family's shamelessness, my granddaughter wouldn't have been able to escape so quickly."
Pei Xingyuan glanced at this woman from the corner of his eye.
The ability to tell lies with open eyes is also mutual.
Mi Lao looked solemnly at the seemingly loving pair of juniors in front of him, and pointed at the child.
"What about him?"
As expected of an old minister who has experienced the storms of his previous dynasty, even if he managed to get through the relationship between them, for this child.
The old man was still keenly aware that something was wrong.
Mi Xiayao thought for a while and said with a smile: "My granddaughter said before that this child was given to her by a friend to take care of him temporarily."
Mi Xiaobao in my arms is less than one year old and cannot understand what adults say.
He only knew that the person holding him in front of him was his mother.
The child was babbling and shouting, and Mi Xiayao patiently held his little fleshy hand.
"The friend you are talking about is A Yuan!?" Mrs. Mi's mind seemed to be jumping a little.
She frowned and looked at Pei Xingyuan, her expression immediately darkened, "This child is yours, but you have fallen in love with our Ayao. Who is the biological mother of this child?"
Mrs. Mi felt that this sentence was not majestic enough, so she said aggressively: "Although my Ayao divorced once, she is still a childless child. She does not have the constraints of an eldest son. Mr. Pei, your eldest son will have to live with you in the future."
When my eldest son, Ayao, is fighting for power, how can you guarantee that you will get the best of both children?"
She chirped and scolded.
Mr. Mi didn't say anything to stop it, which shows that Mr. Mi acquiesced in this matter.
"This child is not Pei Xingyuan's." Mi Xiayao's scalp went numb upon hearing this.
She and Pei Xingyuan were just having fun, and they were not really meant to be married. How could they be the eldest son?
As soon as these words came out, both Mi and his wife were stunned.
"Then why is he rushing to recognize this child?"
These words... Mi Xiayao suddenly couldn't continue, and she turned to look at Pei Xingyuan beside her.
Pei Xingyuan felt her hot gaze.
So he spoke unhurriedly, "After the child's biological parents were the guilty party, they tried their best to hand it over to us. The child is innocent, so we want to do our best to give the child an innocent life."
childhood."
Mi Xiayao: "..." He is so brave.
Mr. and Mrs. Mi frowned again at this moment.
Mi Lao asked, "Did this criminal save you?"
"After all, we are also friends." Pei Xingyuan responded calmly.
Mi Xiayao could only nod her head at this moment.
"..." Mr. Mi was speechless by these words, "That's all, you are already able to take charge of your own business. I don't want to get too involved in the fate of my children and grandchildren, but!
He changed the subject and looked sharply at the young couple.
"A Yuan is a student I have trained for many years. A Yao, you are the most proud granddaughter of the Mi family. You two have a deep love in front of me, but you don't tell me. Why, can I beat a mandarin duck with a stick!?
"
His stern voice was filled with disappointment for the two juniors.
To be able to coax the old man, Mi Xiayao thought about it and decided that Pei Xingyuan must do it.
She tugged on Pei Xingyuan's clothes with her backhand.
"How dare you? We are thinking that after everything has stabilized and it is time to propose marriage, we will talk to the master. If you don't believe me, go ask Mr. Mi. I have already talked to Ayao's father before."
This time it was Mi Xiayao's turn to look at him in shock, "???"
