The door to the hall was closed tightly for at least an hour.
When the door was completely opened, Mi Xiayao still kept a calm expression.
Pei Xingyuan, who just walked out behind her, had a sly smile like a cat stealing a fish.
Song Qiao heard the noise and came out. She tilted her head and blinked her eyes.
At first glance, she noticed that Master Pei's clothes were vaguely messy, but when her eyes fell on Madam, she found that Madam was not too messy.
She was a little confused.
"Madam, do you have anything to give me?"
"Next time I see Pei Xingyuan in the yard, not only will he be kicked out by me, but you will also be kicked out by me."
Mi Xiayao's tone was stern, and it was rare that even Song Qiao had a bad look on her face.
The man touched the tip of his nose awkwardly from behind and coughed dryly.
"You've already recovered all the losses, so where else do you feel you've suffered?" He took a step sideways.
He even pushed further and began to gradually press Mi Xiayao to answer his questions head-on.
Mi Xiayao's bright eyes were like ripples on autumn water at this moment.
Even his usually cold and glaring gaze was a bit coquettish.
"I told you just now, if you have anything to do, you have to tell me directly. If you don't tell me, I will understand why you are sad."
The man's voice fell next to Mi Xiayao's ear in a low voice, like a low whisper, with a hint of seduction.
Song Qiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva without knowing why.
Why, within an hour, the atmosphere between Madam and Mr. Pei seemed to have changed.
It seemed that Mi Xiayao finally couldn't stand Pei Xingyuan's straightforward manner, so she couldn't help but kick him.
He received her kick forcefully, immediately held his leg and took a breath.
"There's no point in being miserable here. Don't think that because I untied the carriage, you just want to gain favor with me!"
She half-squinted her beautiful eyes and revealed his sinister purpose without hesitation.
Even if his purpose was discovered, he still stood there calmly, with a look of grievance visible on his handsome face for the first time.
"I'm really hurt this time."
The tail of his eyebrows was slightly lowered, which actually seemed to be a bit painful.
Mi Xiayao's turning movement stopped slightly, but soon recovered, and she glanced at the man.
"Stop pretending to me."
"Last time in the woods, the wound was still not healed. After a long night of tossing, I went back and found that there was also a wound on my leg..."
Pei Xingyuan pretended that he had not heard what Mi Xiayao said, and he frankly expressed his discomfort.
"My yard is now closed. People who go out to buy things in the house have set rules. If you stay here, you will die of pain."
She put down these words, glanced at his leg again, turned around and returned to the room without hesitation.
Everyone walked into the room, but Pei Xingyuan still maintained his original posture.
Song Qiao didn't understand, and she was about to ask.
Unexpectedly, just like Pei Xingyuan's accurate prediction, the next second, the door that had just been closed by Madam was finally opened.
"Song Qiao, ask the servants in the mansion to give this uncle some medicine."
After saying that, he stuffed the medicine jar in his hand into Pei Xingyuan's arms, turned around and left again.
Song Qiao: "?" Is anyone willing to take the initiative to tell her what the two of them did just an hour ago?
Mi Xiayao said she didn't care and he really didn't care, but Song Qiao mentioned when he would leave.
Her confinement had only lasted half a month, and on the first day she was released from confinement, Mi Hanhai asked everyone in the mansion to clean up her house.
The good name is to dispel bad luck.
In the room in the backyard of Yuelai Building, Mi Xiayao was sitting in front of the long desk, frowning at the amount on the account book.
Gu Yun, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, was sitting beside him with the same solemn expression on his face.
She said: "Since His Majesty's decree that you should be grounded, many troublemakers have come to Yuelai Tower."
In fact, there are always people making trouble in Yuelai Building.
After Mr. Mi made the trouble, she and Gu Yun simply hired a few people with good military skills to guard against these troublemakers in the store.
"Although it's harmless, it seems very depressed after a few times of trouble." Gu Yun raised his hand to cover his mouth and said with a little embarrassment.
Mi Xiayao's brows never relaxed as she turned to the next page.
Pointing to the amount on the paper.
"It's only half a month. If Yuelai Building makes profits, it still needs to pay expenses?"
She was a little in disbelief.
"So I said that Yuelai Building has been very depressed in the past half month. The ladies of the aristocratic families are not too much. They bought the cloth but at least they will not return it to make a fuss. But the wives of the merchants in the capital are different...
The day before you lifted the ban, a lady came to your door and asked for a refund."
Gu Yun frowned and said in a low voice: "These merchant wives seem to have agreed on the same point of view. Even the places where they find fault are all in the same place..."
Mi Xiayao heard that there was something in Gu Yun's words.
"You mean, someone deliberately encouraged these people to come to Yuelai Building to embarrass me?" she asked clearly.
Gu Yun nodded.
She pinched the bridge of her nose in annoyance.
Gu Yun also sighed and said: "Yelai Building suffered a serious loss. In fact, I had expected this. Business will always encounter such a low period, but something happened recently in Xiaoyuan.
"
"Someone found out the relationship between Yuelai Building and the courtyard. Some merchant wives are quite insidious. I was afraid that the courtyard was in danger, so I asked Qiqi to live with me first."
Mi Xiayao raised her head and looked at Gu Yun in astonishment.
This news was quite surprising to her.
It had only been less than half a day since she left the Villa. After hearing so much news, Mi Xiayao took a deep breath and was about to say that she would go investigate.
Gu Yun gave her another bomb message.
"I used some means to have a 'heart-to-heart' with one of the merchant's wives. The person behind this instigation is someone who has a deep hatred for you."
She pursed her lips and looked at Gu Yun, and she actually had a vague answer in her heart.
"Duan Honglin first asked the old lady of the Duan family to find these merchant wives to play the emotional card, and then the Duan family's concubine Lin Miao introduced a new shop selling fabrics to them... The reason why these merchant wives were able to find the small courtyard...
…”
When Gu Yun said this, she was completely angry. She slapped a long case and was so angry that she choked on her words.
Mi Xiayao's eyes wandered, and soon her expression darkened.
"Duan Honglin."
She calmed down a little bit of her anger.
Meeting Gu Yun's eyes, she sincerely thanked: "Sister Gu Yun, it's all thanks to you that Yuelai Lou and Xiaoyuan have been involved in the past half month. If you weren't here, I would have been grounded for half a month honestly.
If I come out, my only source of wealth in the capital will be cut off."
"What's the point... The fact that you can choose to cooperate with me shows that you trust me. Women should support each other."
