Except for Lin Shuang, logically speaking, the others should all be candidates for the finals.
Before the joke could be finished, the sound of commotion and fighting suddenly broke the beauty of the moment.
I saw a man who seemed to be being chased staggering into the yard, and he cleverly avoided everyone's obstruction.
When all the female relatives were screaming in fright, the people around them tried their best to protect those seemingly weak women.
But Mi Xiayao's table was mostly filled with female family members, and some of the girls' faces had turned completely pale.
The next moment, the thief caught sight of Mi Xiayao, who was sitting steadily.
He immediately ran to her side, took off a golden hairpin from her head and put it on her neck.
He threatened fiercely on the spot: "No one can move. If anyone dares to come close, I will make this woman's blood splatter on the spot!"
Lin Guogong stood up in a hurry and looked here with a solemn expression.
As the host of this banquet, his eyebrows skipped a beat. He had tried so hard to hire so many skilled people to guard the surroundings, so why would anyone break in?
His face suddenly became very embarrassed.
"Here, although I don't know what you need, if we talk to you properly, you don't want to end up with both sides losing, right?"
Lin Guogong raised his voice and answered the thief.
The moment Mi Xiayao was half-buttoned, she almost reacted with muscles to grab the other person's arm and give him a shoulder shake.
But in an instant, she remembered her mission again, and her resisting thoughts suddenly calmed down.
But in order to maintain her integrity, she still grabbed the man's arm in a panic and looked earnestly in the direction of Lin Guogong.
Lin Guogong didn't seem to have expected this scene. While he was panicking, he saw Mr. Pei who was calm and composed beside him.
Without hesitation, he asked Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"Master Pei...this..."
His hesitant words hinted at Pei Xingyuan, who was threatened with kidnapping, but the capital publicly acquiesced in being your fiancée!
This indifferent look...
Lin Guogong reacted slowly——
Could it be!?
"A little thief can break in, what should I do if Master Lin asks me now?"
Pei Xingyuan was still sitting firmly on the Grand Master's chair, with his legs crossed in a leisurely manner, as if he was watching the excitement from afar.
Not far away, the smart women from aristocratic families who saw that the atmosphere was not right also had slightly stunned expressions on their faces.
Among them, Mi Wei's solemn expression fully reflected her mood at the moment.
"Don't you take me seriously?"
When the man saw that the two of them were beginning to shirk responsibility for each other, his eyes immediately darkened and he took the golden hairpin one step closer to his neck.
The uncle of the Mi family, who was sitting in the crowd, was shocked.
He wanted to sit down any longer. He couldn't imagine how he would explain this matter to his third son in the future.
"If you need anything, you can tell us everything." The uncle stood up in a hurry. He did not dare to take a step forward, so he could only stretch out his hands in an attempt to appease the thief.
The faces of the two girls sitting next to Mi Xiayao had already turned pale, and they wanted to take a step forward.
When the uncle saw their actions, his eyelids jumped fiercely, and he immediately yelled: "Don't move!"
The thief originally didn't see their little tricks, but now he found out that they were trying to save her.
He immediately took Mi Xiayao and took several steps back to distance himself from everyone.
Going backwards itself is a very insecure behavior, plus you can't see what's behind you.
While the thief staggered, the golden hairpin in his hand completely poked Mi Xiayao's neck, and she was also staggered for a while.
After rubbing it up and down, her fair skin could soon see the redness caused by the gold hairpin.
Although Pei Xingyuan still sat firmly in his seat, his hand hidden under the round table subconsciously tightened the armrest.
There was a flash of warning in his eyes.
Lin Guogong saw that Pei Xingyuan had no intention of saving Mi Xiayao, so the responsibility had to fall on him.
"Prepare a carriage and a group of fast horses for me, and prepare at least three months' worth of money for me in the carriage. You must put the money on the carriage little by little under my eyes! If a woman fails to meet the standards, this woman will
Bleed a little longer."
The man's low and scolding voice reached Mi Xiayao's ears.
She frowned.
Such a subtle expression caused others to misunderstand that Mi Xiayao was feeling unwell.
The former fiancée was now being held hostage in such an embarrassing situation, but her fiancé was sitting calmly and calmly from the beginning to the end.
The relationship between these two people is self-evident.
Some are happy and some are sad.
"Okay, okay, I promise you, first take the gold hairpin farther away from your neck."
After all, the uncle still acted like the elder of the family, and he wholeheartedly wanted to satisfy this thief's unreasonable demands.
And just when everyone didn't dare to take a breath and everyone was panicking.
Zhou Ze, who was hidden in the crowd, groped forward and kicked the thief's most vulnerable waist with one swift movement, while at the same time throwing the dangerous gold hairpin to the ground.
Although the thief was captured, the way Mi Xiayao stood staggering aside was noticed by everyone, and they immediately thought to themselves that the situation in the capital would eventually change completely.
Gu Yun hurried forward to check whether Mi Xiayao's neck was really injured.
Seeing that she was safe, my uncle stepped over and asked about the situation.
As the host of Lin Guogong, the Mi family has a relatively high civil servant status. Even if it is not based on Pei Xingyuan's membership, it must be based on Mi Lao's membership.
He personally went to ask Mi Xiayao if she was frightened.
Suddenly, everyone gathered around him.
Pei Xingyuan finally stood up from the Grand Master's chair. With one hand behind his back, he walked leisurely into the crowd.
Some people have good eyesight and quickly get out of the way, and gradually a small path emerges.
Everyone thought that Pei Xingyuan's response was to comfort the frightened Mi Xiayao.
As a result, the other party asked Zhou Ze, who was capturing the prisoner on the side: "Didn't this criminal say he was captured and imprisoned three days ago? Why was he let go?!"
"The soldiers guarding the prison gate have withdrawn many people in the past few days. This man just happened to get through the gap and ran out. It's my fault, isn't it?"
What I originally thought was a consolation turned out to be finding a subordinate to question him about his work situation.
"Pei Xingyuan, do you really want to do this to me?"
Mi Xiayao lowered her head slightly, using Gu Yun to protect her, blocking her uncontrollable smile.
But it was precisely because of this little sound of rising and falling breathing that those in the outer circle mistakenly thought it was a whimpering sound.
Suddenly, the uproar over gossip became even louder.
"No way... they won't really break up, right? Back in the capital, everyone said that there would be two newlyweds, one would be the third prince, and the other would be Mr. Pei. I didn't expect this double happiness.
One was found guilty... and the other one just passed away unhappy."
"I really didn't expect that there seemed to be a deep misunderstanding in their relationship."
