Duan Honglin's look made Mi Xiayao's heart burn with anger.
The uncle only knew that they were divorced, but he didn't know that these two juniors still had a personal feud.
But with the elder's so-called "for her own good", the uncle whispered: "No matter what, the uncle still cares about you when he sees Xiao Duan. If there is any misunderstanding, just let it go."
"Uncle, go in first and wait for you."
Duan Honglin smiled and approached Mi Xiayao, and the two stood facing each other.
She raised her chin slightly and looked at the man in front of her who could escape from prison.
Duan Honglin looked at the woman in front of him proudly, "You didn't expect me to stand in front of you, did you?"
"I didn't expect that. What I expected was that you would lie down in front of me." Mi Xiayao nodded confidently.
These words really made the other party choke to death.
She glanced up and down Duan Honglin's clothes, and finally stopped at the seemingly ordinary jade pendant around his waist.
Duan Honglin subconsciously avoided it, but this behavior was seen by Mi Xiayao, who raised the corners of her lips and sneered.
"So I found someone to fish you out," she walked straight forward, and when she passed by him, she added, "Isn't it a waste to fish for someone who can't even do a dirty trick?
Already."
"you!"
Duan Honglin did not expect that Mi Xiayao would be even more unscrupulous than he was in Jingzhou City.
He watched the woman's magnanimous figure walking into Li's house angrily, and seemed to think of something, so he laughed angrily.
"Based on the current situation of your Mi family, you want to fish Master Mi out. It's just a dream."
In this room, Mi Xiayao and her uncle came to the main hall of Li Mansion. Master Li came over in a hurry after receiving the news.
After seeing clearly who the person sent by the Mi family was, Mr. Li raised an invisible smile.
"Why do you think your nephew is coming here today?"
"Of course I came here to visit Uncle Li." The uncle smiled kindly at this moment, and there was a hint of flattery in it.
As a junior, Mi Xiayao could only silently let others accept the gifts, and then watch them talk.
Listening to them talking about false greetings, they still refused to get to the point.
This made Mi Xiayao, who was already upset by Duan Honglin's appearance, even more disgusted with false communication.
Mr. Li smiled and said: "The cold winter is coming, so my nephew should pay attention to keep warm to avoid catching a cold."
Hearing this, Mi Xiayao couldn't help it.
"It's winter outside, but the temperature inside the prison isn't necessarily that warm."
Mr. Li sat there, his face suddenly became embarrassed.
When the prison was mentioned at this juncture, anyone could tell that it was a hint that Master Mi was in prison.
Seeing that the other party's expression was unnatural, the uncle quickly tried to make up for it and tried to restore the warm atmosphere just now.
"Younger, you can't speak wisely. Uncle Li, please don't take it to heart..."
"I just wanted to sell you a favor because you are Mr. Mi's children. Meeting you at this special moment is the best I can do."
Mr. Li pretended to stand up and wave his sleeves, and immediately wanted to shame them both.
"Mr. Mi is currently talking back to the Emperor. Even if there are ten of me, I can't save such a person! If you don't live a good life with your tail between your legs, you are bent on seeking death. I can't hold you back!"
These words were so unpleasant that the uncle's face lost the flattering smile. He stood up and endured it again and again, actually insisting on accepting this insult.
He can endure it, but Mi Xiayao cannot!
She immediately stood up, walked to the servant who had just received her gift, took back the heavy box of gifts, and at the same time turned to look at the high-sounding, cold and ruthless official.
"Master Li has been an official for several years, but he is nothing more than this. My grandfather has a clear conscience in doing things. He performs his duties and corrects the prince. In your eyes, he is like a clown who makes mistakes and does not know what is good or bad."
"The prince is behaving badly now. What you are thinking about is not how to correct his behavior and make him go on the right path. Instead, you are thinking about your own life, for fear of bringing harm to yourself!
"Although I am a junior, the people I admire should be my grandfather who is a good subject who is loyal to the world, not you who are so old, greedy for life and afraid of death, and waste national resources in filth!"
Mi Xiayao's three sentences were all aggressive and without leaving any trace of emotion, tearing apart the false masks of these old people.
Finally, she hugged the gift box, called her uncle and left the Li Mansion without looking back.
As early as when she first met Duan Honglin at the entrance of Li Mansion, Mi Xiayao should have known that this place was a den of junk.
The uncle who was following her followed the junior into the carriage in a daze, and he could not help but recall the powerful and realistic speech he just made in the main hall in his mind.
"You...you!" The uncle was shocked by her. When he came to his senses, he left the carriage and tried to return to the Li Mansion to apologize.
Mi Xiayao sat in an upright posture. She looked at her uncle's angry appearance, but she sat there very calmly.
"Why go back and look at the face of that old official who is greedy for life and afraid of death? It is better to ask for yourself than to ask for others. I, Mi Xiayao, don't need the face he gave me."
This time the uncle really looked at the junior in front of him in astonishment.
"No matter what, it's just connections, not..."
"What he just said, the Mi family doesn't have such connections, right? Just a meeting is just a charity? In turn, he despises our Mi family for being a disgusting existence. That's all, there is no need to save any good face.
Already.
"Even if grandpa is here, he sees it and doesn't want us to join in the same trap with such people." Mi Xiayao looked at the uncle in front of her with burning eyes.
The scene in the Li Mansion just now really made Mi Xiayao very angry.
The carriage started moving slowly at this moment, but inside the carriage, because of the menacing words just spoken, the uncle did not say anything else along the way.
Seeing that the door of Mi Mansion was approaching, Mi Xiayao sighed silently.
She kindly handed the gift box in her hand to her uncle and whispered: "When I came to the capital when I was a child, Ayao still remembers how my grandfather cared for me. Now that my grandfather is suffering, as a junior, of course I must save my grandfather at all costs.
"However, we don't ask for help from everyone. Some people are born with evil intentions. They just want to see us humble. When we meet such people, we must show the self-respect we deserve even if we are in a desperate situation. We cannot
It's wrong to be wronged, isn't it, uncle?
"Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll think of something else."
She softened her voice and explained to her uncle coaxingly and rationally.
The uncle felt the heavy feel of the gift box, and thought of the Li Mansion where the girl from the third family had just entered with the gift box, and he suddenly had an epiphany in his heart.
Understanding the third girl's thoughts, the uncle's heart moved.
