Mrs. Chen didn't say anything by name, so Mi Xiayao was actually too lazy to pay attention to her.
She was about to tell Mi Kexian to resign first.
But who knew that Mrs. Chen's tone gradually became more serious and she said to Mi Kexian: "Concubine Xian..."
"My dear concubine, I am not feeling well right now. Please take your leave first. If you are in better health someday, I will have a good talk with you."
Mi Xiayao looked at Mi Kexian and interrupted Mrs. Chen's words of attack in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
"Sister Xia Yao, please pay more attention to your health."
Mi Kexian must have been listening to Mrs. Chen's inciting words for some time. She looked at Mi Xiayao and her eyes were fixed for a long time.
In the end, Mi Xia Yao was let go.
"Thank you, Concubine Xian."
Mi Xiayao was not surprised by this expected answer.
Just before she left, she glanced sharply at Mrs. Chen. Although she didn't say anything, her cold eyes could easily suppress the other person's aura.
Mrs. Chen gritted her teeth tightly, and now she looked like a joke standing next to Mi Kexian.
Here, as soon as Mi Xiayao got on the carriage, Song Qiao asked curiously: "How can Madam be sure that Concubine Xian is willing to let us go?"
In the carriage, Mi Xiayao breathed a sigh of relief and took a moment to relax.
Then he cheered up and whispered: "Now Mi Kexian's position in the East Palace seems to be stable and favored, but the nature of Prince Qin Qiao is hard to change, and he is determined not to favor her alone. What Mi Kexian has to do now
, just to pretend to be a well-behaved substitute in front of Prince Qin Qiao."
"It is impossible for her to do something bold and excessive now. Mrs. Chen wanted to sow discord. She thought that the girls in our Mi family were all enemies of each other. She never expected that the girls in the Mi family rarely move around.
of."
In an indifferent relationship, except for the occasional friction for profit, their relationship is not as close as those so-called boudoir friends outside.
"Mrs. Chen is determined to kill her now. Should we take any countermeasures in advance?"
Mi Xiayao was taking a nap with her eyes closed. When she heard what Song Qiao said, she suddenly opened her eyes.
He paused for a moment, then smiled softly.
"It's not necessary. She's not worth my efforts to fight back. The handles she grabbed are just false. No matter how hard she checks Potian, she can't hurt me at all. I believe in Chen Xi's ability now.
She will definitely be able to handle this messy matter in the Chen family, so I won’t do anything about Mrs. Chen yet.”
The lotus appreciation banquet passed unexpectedly peacefully, but it was Mi Xiayao who thought highly of them all.
——
In the narrow and dark room, there was only a bed made of bare wooden boards, and a stack of yellow paper laid out on the table.
The door was pushed open.
"Have you sorted it out?" The man spoke very impatiently.
Duan Honglin seemed to be particularly irritable and gloomy among the yellow paper. His movements did not change, but he said bluntly: "I want to see your master."
After saying that, the man seemed to curse in a low voice, turned around and closed the door roughly.
Less than half an hour later, the door was opened again.
This time he was no longer roughly taken away with a sack over his head.
Instead, Duan Honglin was asked to walk out of the small shabby house where he had been imprisoned for several months.
The dazzling sunlight outside made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
Half of his face was covered with stubble, his hair was scrawled and messy, and there was a faint smell.
The man did not take him directly to the so-called master, but took him to the clean room and pushed him in.
An hour later, Duan Honglin walked out like a human being.
"Your damn life is really good." The man who just pushed him spat roughly and led him to the hall of the courtyard.
Opening the door, a man in a brocade robe clasped one hand behind his back, turned his back to the door and looked up at the calligraphy and painting hanging in the center.
He turned around when he heard the noise.
Duan Honglin's eyes suddenly widened, and he stood there in shock. Fortunately, his reaction was still online, and he immediately lowered his head.
"See... see His Highness the Third Prince."
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the faintly trembling tone in Duan Honglin's words.
He always thought that the people who fished him out from Jingzhou City should be from the hostile camp that was hostile to Pei Xingyuan.
But later when he was on duty in Beijing, he discovered that Pei Xingyuan could be the enemy of everyone in the capital, but he could also shake hands with everyone and talk happily.
Later, Mi Xiayao suppressed him crazily, causing his fortune to be bumpy, and he even had no intention of noticing other subtle flaws.
After this period of time, he was imprisoned and forced to hand over a detailed list of investment merchants in Jingzhou City.
During this period, Duan Honglin also thoroughly recalled the details of the past that he had not noticed.
"Did you guess it was me?"
His Highness the Third Prince was not surprised to see his expression, but he was surprised.
Duan Honglin lowered his head and knelt on the ground, "I vaguely figured it out a few days ago."
His Highness the Third Highness sneered, "That's not too stupid."
He pinched his brows, it was obvious that he had not been having a peaceful life recently.
Since that day when the blessing banquet was revealed, the Cui family members became angry and angry because their legitimate wife did not have an eldest son yet, but a concubine with no title took over the title of the eldest son.
Concubine Rong even scolded and scolded him for several days.
Although Mrs. Cui didn't say anything, the attitude of the Cui family was hers. The third prince was obviously attacking from behind.
Finally, she reconciled the Cui family, divorced the outhouse, and made it clear that the two children she gave birth to would not join the royal family's family tree.
It was confirmed on the board that they were illegitimate children.
This made the Cui family look a little more harmonious.
He had just breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered that there was Duan Honglin, the last chess piece against the prince, and he came over.
"You said you wanted to see me, have you written the list?"
"It's written, but before I give it to His Highness, I have only a very simple request."
Duan Honglin calmed down his thoughts slightly. The other party was His Highness the Third Highness, who had a distinguished position.
But this does not affect the new way out that Duan Honglin planned for himself some time ago.
His Highness the Third Highness made a curious sound with a raised tone, and then sat on the Grand Master's chair. He looked at the man in front of him with a playful expression, not knowing whether to live or die.
"Tell me about it." He didn't care what shocking request this loser could come up with.
"Now I can no longer serve as an official in the court, but people always have to go to higher places. Since I can't seek an official position, I can't take this road of making money.
"If I hand over this Jingzhou City investment list to His Highness, I also hope that Your Highness will let me go to Linzhou, where my Duan family is located, and I can persuade the members of my family to spend money to plan a business path.
"If this business can make a profit, I am willing to share the profit share with His Highness at 64%. In exchange for the money, Your Highness will support me in expanding my business in Linzhou."
After his words fell, the room was unexpectedly silent for a moment.
The Third Prince held his chin and tapped the armrest thoughtfully, "Why do you think you can make a profit?"
"When Mi Xiayao was in the Duan family, she left behind a book on business. The Third Highness can also see that Mi Xiayao's Yuelai Tower is the best result of her business."
