This news may not be very good, but it can make the Duan family more embarrassed. Mi Xiayao is happy to hear more similar news.
"Did Song Qiao say anything harsh?"
The carriage was driving leisurely on the driveway, and the little girl followed the carriage. When she heard this, she immediately said: "Sister Song said, she said that if the Duan family repays their debts, they will meet with the government. However,
...Other than being furious to death, the Duan family members don’t seem to be in much embarrassment.”
The little girl fell into her own doubts and stammered: "It's as if...as if they still have a trump card in their hands and are not afraid of Madam."
Mi Xiayao originally closed her eyes to rest, but after hearing these words, she couldn't help but open them.
"Do they really think so?"
"Well, especially that concubine, it seems to be three or four months old, and her belly is slightly swollen. Not only is she not in a hurry, but she also said that if we continue to be so aggressive, we will still suffer..."
I haven't seen Lin Miao for so many days, and I didn't expect that she didn't lose her composure at all.
Her red lips were raised slightly for a moment, and her beautiful eyes flashed with fierce emotion.
"If that's the case, then it's as good as their wishes."
The carriage did not go towards Bieyuan, but turned around and drove towards the mansion where Gu Yun lived.
Gu Yun was taking care of her daughter in the backyard. When she heard the report from the mother-in-law in front of her, she hurried out.
Then I saw Mi Xiayao, who had just been separated for a short time, come back.
This woman was sitting on the Taishi chair, holding a teacup in her hand, sipping tea.
"Is there anything urgent you need to tell me?" This was the first time Gu Yun saw Mi Xiayao's calm and composed aura.
Vaguely, she could feel that Mi Xiayao was different from usual.
In daily life, although I treat my relatives and friends in a gentle manner, I always have a somewhat distant temperament inside.
But in his current state, he looks calm and composed, and there is still a vague sense of killing and defeating evil in his aura.
"On the way back, I suddenly remembered something, so I wanted to go back and ask Sister Gu Yun carefully."
Mi Xiayao put down the tea cup in her hand and said straight to the point: "In the middle of last year, I pretended to be a merchant and went to various cities to promote the investment in Jingzhou City. How much did Sister Gu Yun participate in at that time?"
This matter was a long time ago for Gu Yun.
She sat opposite Mi Xiayao for no apparent reason, lost herself in memories and thought for a moment, and said: "At the banquet, you once told me that if the money could be spent where it should be spent, it would definitely be more valuable than this kind of empty-handed investment.
It’s much more stable. After I went back, I thought about it and realized that what you said made sense, so I didn’t follow suit.”
She paused for a moment and pondered for a long time, "But some people in my clan are very brave and want to take a gamble. The first time I invested, I didn't make a lot of money, but at least I got my capital back.
of."
"However, the two or three subsequent investments were all in vain. However, although the people of my clan are very courageous, after they have tasted it once, they dare not touch it a second time. So generally speaking, there is nothing too big here.
Big loss."
Gu Yun actually vaguely heard the news from his clan members later that the investment in Jingzhou City had caused unbearable losses to many small merchants, and many of them even went to the extent of paying down their debts to spend money on a big gamble.
Some people not only lost their capital, but even the last deed of their home.
"Then do you still remember who were the people who invested in Jingzhou City?"
"Perhaps the clan members will know better...are you planning to expose this matter?"
Gu Yun was following her words when he suddenly realized something in the middle of her words. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Mi Xiayao in surprise.
The only answer she received was a silent nod of affirmation.
"Have you...really thought about it? Although a small number of merchants are still trying to report to the Yamen to seek justice regarding the investment in Jingzhou City, businessmen from big families like us all know very well that such a large-scale investment can
…The people behind it should not be underestimated.”
"So you decided to settle the matter? If Daqi can be so unknown and defraud the merchants of your hard-earned money, in the future, you won't be afraid of these people holding a knife to your neck and asking you to hand over all your savings.
To them?"
Mi Xiayao curled her lips. Every word she said was very soft, but it fell on Gu Yun's ears...
This is going to change.
"You have to think clearly, if you really do this, the enemies in the future will not be just Duan Honglin, Miao Qi and others."
Mi Xiayao lowered her eyes and straightened her robes, and said in a calm tone: "I'm not afraid of making enemies."
"What about your family? Where is your father? Where is your child who is about to turn one year old? And where are the elders who really treat you well? Haven't you ever thought about them?"
Gu Yun's questioning undoubtedly questioned her soul.
Her eyes were bright, "But if I don't resist, the prince will one day strangle me directly in the capital. If I really want to escape, where can I escape to? Leave Daqi?"
Gu Yun paused for a moment. She was not Mi Xiayao. Even if she really did it for Mi Xiayao's good, she had only experienced a few positions.
"As for the investment in Jingzhou City, I will ask my people to investigate and find the leader. But whether this matter is going to be revealed, you should not regret it because of your impulse.
"Ayao, now that you have developed to this point in the capital, you have Yuelai Tower, a small courtyard, and you have the status of Lord Si Yi who is an official in the palace. There are many places you can take pictures of."
Gu Yun reached out and pressed the back of Mi Xiayao's hand, and she looked at her with genuine worry.
"If it doesn't work, then Master Pei is still here, right?"
At the mention of Lord Pei, Mi Xiayao's hands moved.
She still lowered her eyes, but Gu Yun felt something was wrong again.
"You...won't you also have a falling out with Mr. Pei?"
"Perhaps there is no cooperation yet, but I had a separate quarrel with him."
From chatting about major events in the capital to private matters in the boudoir.
Gu Yun chatted with Mi Xiayao until the sun set and the candlelight in the house was lit.
"If you really feel that staying with him is a burden, just follow your heart, alas..."
Gu Yun sighed with emotion. She turned her head and glanced at the sky outside, then asked carefully: "Do you want to leave food at my place?"
"Xiaobao hasn't seen me all day today. I guess there has been a commotion at home for a long time."
Mi Xiayao turned around and suddenly realized that time passed so quickly.
After the two said goodbye, they returned to the garden and heard Mi Xiaobao's heart-rending cry.
In fact, before the outing, the child had never been obsessed with seeing her within one day.
She and Song Qiao agreed that they were frightened at the outing party.
She hurried into the house and saw Mi Hanhai hurriedly coaxing the child.
