Mi Xiayao looked at Pei Xingyuan in front of her with a rare expression of confusion.
In the quiet palace corridor, the atmosphere is getting more and more heated.
He lowered his head slightly, and his eyes naturally fell on Mi Xiayao's red lips that were about to speak.
His deep eyes flashed with a mysterious depth.
The emotion seemed to be in a flash, and the frequency of his caressing her soft cheek gradually became gentler and slower.
After the two of them left the palace, the charming and ambiguous atmosphere dissipated.
Inside the carriage, Pei Xingyuan nodded on the armrest with a slightly solemn expression.
Shen Sheng said: "Originally, we planned not to tell the news that the third prince of the Xu family had investigated the Jingzhou City investment case, but the plan was always unexpected."
"Did I cause it?" Mi Xiayao quickly guessed that it was herself.
When Pei Xingyuan heard this, he raised his eyes and landed on her with clear eyes. His solemn and deep expression just now completely turned into a pool of warm water at this moment.
"If it's because of you, then no matter what happens, it will never be an accident to me. You are the most important person in my life. Even if I can't make it to the last step, I will do everything possible to protect you."
Mi Xiayao's heart trembled with heat again, and she pursed her lips.
This man! What’s going on recently!
He was in such a strategic state that Mi Xiayao didn't know how to respond to him.
There was a moment of silence in the carriage. After a moment, Moyue cleared her throat.
"How do you plan to save it after that?"
"It's okay, it's just that the Xu family has been more prepared. The third prince came prepared this time. Last time the prince alerted the snake, it is impossible for the Rong family to let the prince and the others go so easily. It's just dog bites dog, don't take it to heart."
Pei Xingyuan put his hands on his knees and stared at her deeply, "It's you, now that the position of female official in the palace has been completely removed, and the Chen family's matter has been solved, are you almost leaving the capital?"
When it came to business, Mi Xiayao collected her thoughts and nodded.
"The gifts have almost been packed. I will talk to grandpa in the next few days. When he nods and agrees, I will take Xiaobao back to Qingzhou immediately."
"Going to Qingzhou?" Pei Xingyuan rarely asked Mi Xiayao's plans before.
He now grasped the key point in this conversation, and his expression moved slightly.
"My father sent a message saying that my brother's wedding is coming soon. If I have time, I'd better take the time to go to Qingzhou to attend."
"Why haven't I heard you mention your brother before?"
In Pei Xingyuan's eyes, the relationship between the Mi family is complicated. Although he will deliberately pay attention to Mi Xiayao's family, Mi Sanye seems to be very protective of the eldest son, and this person is rarely mentioned in the Mi family's mouth.
Talking about her brother, Mi Xiayao finally had a bright smile on her face.
"His personality has been extremely stable since he was a child. He has never disdained the fights in the Mi family's house. He worked hard with foreign businessmen when he was young. Later, he went to Qingzhou with his father to develop his own family. Naturally, he has far distance from the Mi family in the capital.
A little bit, but the relationship with my grandparents on my mother’s side will be deeper.”
Speaking of her mother, Mi Xiayao felt vaguely depressed.
Pei Xingyuan knew this. Mr. Mi and Mrs. Mi were well-known as childhood sweethearts and a loving couple. However, their good times did not last long. When Mi Xiayao was pregnant with her and she was born again, it seemed that her health was not well maintained, and she fell ill soon after.
Died due to illness.
He raised his hand and put it on the back of Mi Xiayao's hand, and said in a deep voice, "It's good to go back and see home."
During the conversation, the carriage arrived at the gate of the yard.
Pei Xingyuan dropped what he was doing and hurried to the palace. After sending Mi Xiayao back, he returned to Dali Temple without stopping.
Just as Mi Xiayao returned to the courtyard, Linglong saw his wife coming back and hurriedly walked up.
"Madam, not long ago, new news was sent from the Chen family. It is said that Mrs. Chen was locked up in the house due to Mr. Chen's anger. Miss Chen can't tell for three days, she will definitely be able to escape."
"Then tell the gatekeepers and tell them that if they see Chen Xi coming, they will let them in directly."
Mi Xiayao was surprised that things were done in the palace so neatly. Seeing that everything was on track, she felt relieved a little.
She had just been sitting on the Arhat bed and looked sideways at the pomegranate tree that had become a dead branch because no one was paying attention to it.
Suddenly I remembered something.
"Song Qiao, prepare the carriage again and let's go out again."
"Where are you going?" Song Qiao was stunned for a moment.
Mi Xiayao pointed to the pomegranate tree.
The pomegranate originally symbolized having many children, which just reminded Mi Xiayao that before leaving the capital, she had one more thing to deal with.
"Go see Lin Miao."
I heard previously that Duan Honglin had been missing for a long time, and that Lin Miao, a woman with no place in the capital, had recently moved to a slum in the capital due to financial constraints.
She went over to see how pitiful Lin Miao was now, and then took advantage of the situation to find out the news about Duan Honglin she told him.
Mi Xiayao always felt that Duan Honglin didn't look like the kind of person who would escape because of failure. That person must have some evil intentions and prepare to fight back...
While Song Qiao was preparing the carriage, Mi Xiayao knocked on the long table subconsciously, intermittently recalling and inferring something in her mind.
Unconsciously, his eyes fell on a shelf not far away, where there were several dowry boxes brought from Jingzhou City.
Her eyes paused for a moment.
Suddenly an idea flashed through my mind!
"Duan Honglin, Jingzhou City, His Highness the Third..."
When did he have a relationship with the third prince!? Mi Xiayao frowned suddenly. She stringed these keywords together, and suddenly her eyes flashed with cold emotion.
Pei Xingyuan said that the Rong family recently found out about the Jingzhou City investment case, and they wanted to use this case to completely suppress the Xu family and the prince. How could they suddenly find this old account accurately... It must be Duan Honglin who told the whole story.
Mi Xiayao put on her bamboo hat and got on the carriage arranged by Song Qiao to the slums.
This is where His Majesty set up a Baijiayuan in the capital for his honest and honest image, just to accommodate the poor people who had a sudden change in the capital overnight.
Later, gradually, this place became a slum that people in the capital mocked.
She walked into this area with a bamboo hat, and there were many decadent people with no ideals in life lying on the ground in the courtyard.
The mother-in-law she brought with her, Kong Wu, protected her vigorously, and the group walked around the slums.
Finally, in the corner, Mi Xiayao finally found Lin Miao, who was curled up in the corner with her stomach already out of shape.
Shadows blocked Lin Miao's face. Mi Xiayao slightly lifted a corner of her bamboo hat, revealing half of her cold face.
Lin Miao met her indifferent eyes while half asleep and half awake.
"You...you! Are you coming to settle accounts with me? I, I have no contact with Duan Honglin anymore!"
