Stepping into Mi Mansion, the front hall is peaceful, and the atmosphere is completely different from the usual bustle of a large family.
Mi Xiayao frowned slightly, and she grabbed a passing maid and asked.
"I don't know much about this. I only know that today the young ladies and young men have all left the house to have fun on their own."
After hearing these words, Mi Xiayao felt a little confident and hurriedly walked towards the backyard.
In the main hall in the backyard of Mi Mansion, except Mr. Mi, the other uncles were all gathered here. Everyone's expressions were solemn and unhappy.
Among them, Master Mi is the one who dominates the source of all dissatisfaction.
"Now that every family is blooming, and they are not willing to help their brothers, what's the point of having this family together!? Isn't there intrigue and false harmony every day!?"
Master Mi patted his thigh and expressed his dissatisfaction.
The uncle was sitting on one side, his head slightly lowered, as if his brother's rebellion had nothing to do with him.
Mi Lao, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the noisy sons with a warm and angry expression.
When the Fourth Master Mi heard what the Second Master Mi said, he immediately laughed, waved his hand, pointed at Sang and Huaihuai, and said: "Back when some people were in the spotlight, didn't they just say that the whole family didn't help with everything?
, I’m so stunned that I didn’t even bring a hand with me?!”
"Now that I'm talking about being a brother, I don't think what I said is contradictory!"
"Mi Laosi, what do you mean!"
"Of course that's what I said! Do I still need to describe in detail what you said that time, second brother?"
Mi Kexian, the direct biological daughter of Fourth Master Mi, is already the most favored concubine in the Prince's East Palace. His biological father, who is a concubine, naturally has a higher status.
At the beginning, I didn't even dare to say a word in Mi Mansion, but now I can openly accuse Mr. Mi of being ugly.
Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again.
And at this juncture, the door was pushed open, and a woman's figure stood against the light, flooding the bright sunshine outside into this dirty room.
"Ayao?" Mr. Mi was stunned for a moment when his granddaughter, whom he was most satisfied with, suddenly arrived.
Immediately, his eyes darkly swept over the group of useless sons, and he said to the eldest son: "As the elder brother, you did not resolve the misunderstanding between these brothers. As the eldest brother, you have neglected your duty."
After that, he told the sons who were upset just to get out of the hall, leaving Mi Xiayao alone.
This behavior of clearly favoring the little granddaughter aroused everyone's dissatisfaction, but because Mr. Mi is still the person with the most say in the Mi family.
Everyone just left the room without speaking in anger.
After everyone had finished leaving, Mi Xiayao asked worriedly: "Uncles, what's going on?"
"Every year, the family is heading towards separation. Sooner or later, these unfilial sons will torture me, an old man, to death before they give up!"
When Mr. Mi said this, he was so angry that he took pictures of the table several times. After the anger was over, he regained some sense.
He looked at Mi Xiayao and asked curiously: "As for you, except for greetings, I rarely see you coming to Mi Mansion at other times."
Mi Xiayao knew that her grandfather was in a bad mood at the moment, so she thought about it for a moment and repackaged what she originally wanted to say clearly.
She carefully poured a cup of tea for her grandfather, and then said softly: "My brother is about to marry a wife in Qingzhou. Grandpa, do you know about this?"
"I know, your father mentioned it when he wrote a letter home a few days ago that I had people prepare gifts and send the escort car to Qingzhou. But you reminded me of this. On such an important day for your brother, you are
As his only bloodline, he cannot be dismissed with just a letter."
Today this topic developed unexpectedly smoothly.
Mi Xiayao pursed her lips. At this moment, she was pretending to be obedient and listening to Mi Lao's arrangements. It was very different from her plan. Anyway, the ultimate goal was to leave the capital. As long as she left the capital, her grandfather might not be able to notice her.
According to the current time point, in a few days, there will be internal strife in the Mi family, and the most noisy fourth master Mi will be the first person to move out of the Mi Mansion in the capital, and the Mi family will be scattered.
But...that was because the only person in the family who could shock them was no longer alive. They made such a fuss.
"When you are older, you will live in the capital, and then you will get married and go to other places. Qingzhou is the root of our Mi family. It is also good to use this excuse to go back and see our family this time."
Mi Lao patted the back of Mi Xiayao's hand and sighed with relief.
"Grandpa, why don't you come back to Qingzhou with me?" Mi Xiayao blurted out as her head got hot.
When Mi Lao heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said with a hearty smile: "Although grandpa also wants to go back to his hometown to visit, he still has an official position in the capital and it is difficult to move around. After the prince ascends the throne, I will apply for a concession, and I will definitely return to Qingzhou by then.
I will take care of myself in my old age."
Mi Xiayao could tell that Mr. Mi was still unwilling to leave the capital.
As long as Pei Xingyuan was around in the capital, she was not worried about her grandfather's safety for the moment. She was just worried that in the next few days, several uncles in the Mi family would argue about splitting up the family, and her grandfather would be in a bad mood, which would cause him to feel unwell.
She said a few more words to appease her grandfather, "Grandpa, my uncles all have their own family backgrounds. They are all fathers and they are all focused on taking care of their own children. It is inevitable that they will forget the closest brotherhood."
, please don’t get angry."
Mi Lao seems to be a little more open-minded than Mi Xiayao imagined.
"How come you, a little girl, have so many deep thoughts on weekdays? Don't worry, your grandfather is open-minded and will not be a problem."
She wanted to add a few more words, but she didn't expect that Mr. Mi would directly drive her out of Mi Mansion on the pretext of asking her to go back and pack her luggage and leave the capital for Qingzhou.
Mi Xiayao stood at the door of Mi Mansion and looked up helplessly at the word Mi Mansion with flying phoenixes on the plaque, and sighed silently.
"Madam, shall we go back?" Seeing that Mi Xiayao was not in a high mood, Song Qiao thought she was reluctant to leave the Mi family.
"Go to Dali Temple." She thought slightly.
Grandpa has taken care of things here. In fact, Mi Xiayao can leave the capital at any time.
But subconsciously, she must make it clear to Pei Xingyuan before leaving the capital.
Otherwise, if she leaves, she will feel empty in her heart.
When the master and servant arrived at Dali Temple, they were in vain. Zuo Shaoqing's subordinates on duty said that Lord Pei should have returned to the Pei Mansion at this time.
Mi Xiayao had to turn around and walk towards Pei Mansion.
The gatekeepers at the door of Pei Mansion must have been deliberately reminded by Pei Xingyuan, as they never stopped Mi Xiayao when they saw him.
She entered Pei's house almost unimpeded, and found the study room of Pei's house by familiar means.
Sure enough, Mi Xiayao saw the housekeeper of Pei Mansion at the door of Pei Mansion's study.
