Mi Xiayao was carefully guarded by Pei Xingyuan almost all the way to the entrance of the mansion.
She turned her head slightly to look at him, and the other person seemed to notice something and immediately turned to look at her.
The appearance of this luxurious carriage is similar to the black carriage Mi Xiayao and he are sitting in today. It can be said to be... a mother-son carriage.
Her eyebrows twitched fiercely, "So, there is a more spacious carriage in your house that you can drive, but you just don't want to drive it?"
She had to be squeezed into a small box, which made her shoulders sore for a long time today!
"If I want to pick you up in this carriage this morning, you can sit at the carriage door and talk to me."
He didn't feel guilty at all, and even defended himself righteously, "In order to pursue you, I have never used so many brains in my life."
"You——!" She was caught off guard by his blunt words.
She choked for a moment, and finally said in a weak tone: "Who wants you to pursue me?"
She held up her skirt and got into the carriage carelessly.
With this bold move, Pei Xingyuan watched her get into the carriage with a smile.
On the other hand, the housekeeper behind him was so frightened that his face turned pale for a moment when he saw his wife's actions.
The luxurious carriage drove smoothly towards the Mifu Villa. Pei Xingyuan stood at the door of the Pei Mansion and did not follow.
The dark curtain fell from the sky, and the stars scattered across the sky like broken diamonds.
He put one hand behind his back and looked thoughtfully towards the direction of the imperial city. He half-squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Please pay more attention to the movements of His Highness the Third Highness. If there is anything related to Mi Xiayao, please report to me immediately."
report."
"Yes." The butler suppressed his usual gentle smile and responded seriously at this moment.
But not long after he got serious, he asked again: "Sir, do you still call the madam by her full name? Is the madam happy to hear this address?"
The man glanced sideways at the talkative butler, who shrugged his shoulders, and Qingqing turned around and entered Pei's house.
——
After Mi Xiayao returned to the mansion, she always sat on the bed with a heavy look on her face.
Song Qiao was also careful to pay attention to his wife's emotional changes at any time.
Later, Mi Xiayao was lying on the bed until the next day, and she didn't even take a step out of the door.
During this time, Mi Xiaobao was staggered in and called his mother.
He was just held in Mi Xiayao's arms and there was no interaction at all.
Just when Song Qiao thought that her wife was going to be depressed, meal time was almost here, but she hadn't come yet and remembered to persuade her to have a meal.
The other party takes the initiative to ask for food.
But after eating, he still returned to the bed.
This state continued until Gu Yun came to her door the next day to give her the account book she had sent to Yuelailou.
"My wife hasn't left the room all day. Mrs. Gu, could you please help me and let her come out for some fresh air."
Song Qiao took the account book, but still said with a sad face.
Gu Yun was a little surprised, "She is in a bad mood recently?"
"It should be." Song Qiao responded with some confusion.
"It's okay. Women always feel depressed for a few days. Don't worry, I'll just take her out to bask in the sun later."
Gu Yun didn't take this matter to heart, she opened the door happily.
He said briskly: "I told you last time that Chen Xi has good abilities and may be a useful talent. You said you would negotiate and cooperate with her, but you never gave me a letter. Did the other party agree to work hard with us?"
Mi Xiayao moved and said lazily: "If you are curious, I will ask Song Qiao to ask Chen Xi to come over in person, and you two can just chat."
"Huh?" Gu Yun heard something was wrong in her voice and simply sat by the bed, "Song Qiao told me that you have been bored with yourself all day. What's going on?"
Mi Xiayao bit her lower lip.
She calmed down these days and thought about this unexpected arrival and how to arrange her future plans.
Gu Yun could come, but she actually didn't mind confessing to Gu Yun.
The two people were locked in the house, and no one came out.
Song Qiao waited outside. Seeing that the sun was about to set, the two ladies in the room had no intention of coming out.
Just when she was hesitating to ask about dinner, her mother-in-law at the front door suddenly came over to find her.
"Master Pei came over and asked Madam if she was at home. What should I tell Madam, or should I send him away according to the old rules?"
Master Pei is here?
Song Qiao blinked, "I don't know either. Why don't you go in and ask Madam what she means?"
Qianmen's mother-in-law paused and realized that Song Qiao could not decide the outcome, so she simply looked for Mi Xia Yao.
In the room, Gu Yunzheng said: "I think this child's arrival is too unexpected. Just in case, I'd better wait until the moon is full before taking my pulse. The current arrangement... I think Pei Xingyuan is a good person. You might as well go with this."
It’s not impossible to observe him from the steps.”
"If it were in the past, I would definitely tell you why women don't need a man to have a perfect life. But it's different now. If the right fate is right in front of you, I think you should work hard."
She reached out and patted the back of Mi Xiayao's hand, laughing softly: "Don't make yourself feel regretful."
Mi Xiayao's face was obviously much better than the day before yesterday.
At this moment, the mother-in-law at the front door knocked carefully. After receiving the notification, she reported softly: "Master Pei is still in front of the main gate of Bieyuan. Madam, do you want someone to come in?"
"Look, Cao Cao will be here soon." Gu Yun raised his eyebrows and looked at Mi Xiayao jokingly.
The latter glanced at Gu Yun and told the mother-in-law at the front door to let the person in.
"Okay, I won't disturb you two anymore. If anything happens, just ask someone to come find me. My daughter's condition has improved a lot recently, and I feel a lot more relaxed."
Gu Yun shook her fan, and her eyebrows were really light and smiling.
She waved her hand.
Gu Yun was walking towards the door when he happened to see a tall man walking towards him. The dark black robe on his body made his cold and handsome lines particularly straight.
She couldn't help but raise her eyes to take another look at him.
Pei Xingyuan is a rare rising junior in the capital. It is said that his power and ability are first-class. Although he is not a first-class minister, he is still a powerful minister with considerable status and weight.
Gu Yun retracted his gaze and walked straight over.
Pei Xingyuan was immersed in thoughts about how to talk to Mi Xiayao for a while, and did not notice Gu Yun's presence at all.
When he strode into the house, Mi Xiayao casually put on a thin shirt and sat on the Arhat bed reading a book.
The warm yellow light cast a layer of soft light on her charming features.
His eyes fell on her, and the frost on his brows suddenly melted away.
"You haven't been out for the past few days, are you still feeling unwell?"
When he got closer, Mi Xiayao noticed that he was holding something else in his hand.
"Anyang has been thinking about you since that day at the Prince's Mansion. I happened to bump into her on the way to the Imperial Study Room when I entered the palace today. She said these are toys only found at the border and asked me to bring some to you."
