She doesn't know many people named Pei, and Pei Xingyuan is the only one.
Mi Xiayao looked at her fourth uncle in front of her with burning eyes.
The latter sneered, "If I hadn't seen him when he first entered the capital, he was completely unaccompanied..."
"Fourth! Say this in front of the younger generation!" The uncle sternly interrupted his hesitant words.
But Mi Xiayao's head turned quickly and she could quickly figure out the meaning of her fourth uncle's words.
She had little interaction with Pei Xingyuan in her previous life.
It was only after he was reborn that he learned that he had become the prince's subordinate.
But all the people in Daqi didn't know that the current prince was ignorant and immoral, and the reason why her grandfather was imprisoned was because he scolded the prince in the court for not wanting to make progress, and he was full of loyal advice, and finally ended up being quartered.
In terms of emotions and reasons, the Mi family are all people whom Pei Xingyuan thinks he is kind to, but now he is standing on the opposite side of the Mi family!
The thought of her playing husband and wife with him along the way made me feel sick.
Seeing that the younger brother looked unhappy, the uncle scolded these leaderless and restless brothers.
"I didn't recruit you here today just to quarrel over something trivial. I thought that if the great uncles and bachelors in the coalition cabinet jointly presented a report to Your Majesty, I might be able to save my father."
When he said that he wanted to go out and seek help from those people, those uncles were speechless for a moment.
The uncle looked at this group of people angrily and was about to curse.
Mi Xiayao on the side saw this and said decisively: "If uncle can trust me, why not let me go find those adults."
"It doesn't matter if you go there as a little girl," the uncle said without hesitation, "You just follow me."
"You guys! At this time, there is no female doll that can be used!"
The angry voice sounded again. Looking at these uncles with different intentions, the smile in Mi Xiayao's eyes became much weaker.
She knew very well that none of these uncles could accomplish anything. They were timid, fearful, and selfish. As long as their own interests were not involved, they all hid like a tortoise.
As the uncle led Mi Xiayao to the backyard, she briefly described her relationship with the Duan family in Jingzhou City, and clearly stated that she and Duan Honglin were completely divorced, and that the divorce certificate had been reported locally in Jingzhou City.
of.
"You kid..." When the uncle heard this, he was a little surprised and regretful at the same time.
"How can we live like this? Alas...there is something we can't just make do with."
"If I had endured it any longer, the dowry I brought from the Mi family would have been devoured by others, and not a single bit would be left."
"There is no such thing as a deep grudge between this young couple, just let's talk it over and make it clear."
My uncle, who has been in a high-quality male living environment all his life, completely doesn't understand why Mi Xiayao wants to divorce her even though she is struggling to make ends meet, and why she has a bad reputation.
He wanted to say a few words to her, but then he remembered that Mi Xiayao was a child of the third family, so he hesitated again and endured it.
Just walking all the way to the backyard, Mi Xiayao saw the group of women in the Mi family's backyard.
Mrs. Mi, who was sitting on the throne, was wearing a thick cloak. On her forehead, in the center of her eyebrows, was a green emerald that looked like a thumb cap. She looked radiant.
Next to the old lady are two younger children sitting on the blanket playing rattles. The whole picture is harmonious and looks like a beautiful picture of a happy life and a happy family.
"Mom, the girl from the third family is here."
Mi Xiayao stood in the middle of the lobby with her child in her arms, looking at Mrs. Mi in front of her.
"Ayao?" Mrs. Mi looked up at the person at the door, her eyes lit up, and she waved for her to come over.
When I got closer, I discovered that there was a child in her arms.
Mrs. Mi hesitated and asked: "This child... is it between you and that boy from the Duan family? Or is it the child from a concubine of the Duan family?"
When asked about such an unfamiliar topic, she calmly explained that it was a child that a friend asked her to take care of.
After a brief conversation ended, the atmosphere ended peacefully.
Mrs. Mi behaved like the head of the family and wanted Mi Xiayao to stay in the house for a few more days, but she politely rejected the old lady's kindness. After leaving Mi's house with her child, she turned a corner and entered the alley.
In the small courtyard at the entrance.
This is a courtyard built by Song Qiao after he entered Beijing.
The purpose is to facilitate Mi Xiayao's movement.
The water in Mi Mansion is too deep, and none of those uncles and aunts are sincerely good for the Mi family and grandpa.
To deal with them, it is better to save grandpa first.
After settling the child, Song Qiao, who had not seen her for half a month, approached her with a stack of account books and whispered: "Girl, these are all the shops and properties that the master bought in the capital. Over the years, my family took the master's words and took them away."
A lot of money, but some of them are just empty shells.
"You have just arrived in Beijing, and you should have a good rest, but these shops look like they are not well run. Over time, I am afraid that the servants will become a burden, so I have no choice but to ask Madam to take a look at these shops."
Song Qiao said earnestly.
Mi Xiayao took a few glances at the account book and saw that the numbers recorded there were so few that she didn't even need to check them carefully. She knew how big the loopholes were.
"Let me think about how to deal with this matter first," she pressed the account book, but in turn told Song Qiao, "Go and take out the dowry money and prepare a three-cent thick gift for me. It shouldn't be too conspicuous, but the lining must be expensive.
.”
The reason why she went to the Mi family's home without stopping after entering the capital was not just to say hello to that group of people.
When she left the Mi Mansion, she and her uncle discussed it carefully for a long time. Tomorrow was a rare holiday in the imperial court, and she could follow her uncle to meet the cabinet bachelors.
——
In the afternoon of the next day, Mi Xia and my uncle made an appointment to meet at a fork in the road.
The carriage came to the door of Li's Mansion one after another. When she stood firm on the spot and adjusted the gap in her skirt, the door of Li's Mansion was opened slowly and slowly.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a young man wearing a green round collar and thick robe, nodding slightly to others.
The uncle next to him made a startled voice.
"Isn't this...the former...husband-in-law of the Duan family?"
Mi Xiayao thought she had misunderstood what her uncle said, and she was just thinking, isn't that ungrateful Duan family member in the prison in Jingzhou City?
But when she looked up.
Duan Honglin folded his sleeves with his hands and stood under the door plaque of Li Mansion.
It was the face that Mi Xiayao felt was particularly familiar. It was clean and looking at them with a smile that made him want to smile.
"Master Mi, what a coincidence."
"Come here to meet an old friend, why are you in the capital?" The uncle was no more astonished than Mi Xiayao, and he asked her the most curious thing in her heart.
Duan Honglin twitched the corner of his mouth, his eyes seemed to be smiling, but in fact he looked at the woman behind his uncle with a sinister look.
"The official position has been transferred and I have come to the capital."
