She retorted confidently, and Mr. Mi scolded her back, "Is this how you talk to your elders!?"
"Then I haven't seen how much you take care of me, a junior."
She raised her head and glanced at the sky, and saw that the day was almost halfway over, and she hadn't had time to make arrangements for Yuelai Lou today.
There is not much patience left at this moment.
Second Master Mi threw down his sleeves angrily, dropped this important topic, turned around and left, "It seems that I, the second uncle, can't control you anymore, I'll let your father do it!"
But these words really shocked Mi Xiayao.
She had always wondered in her previous life why her father, who was doing well in Qingzhou, had to come to the capital and ended up in trouble.
Now that she was in the capital, she finally understood what was going on.
Previously, Mr. Mi asked someone to make trouble for her at Yuelailou. She thought that they were a family after all, so she couldn't really hurt the harmony.
Now she can no longer tolerate such a bad old man harming the family she worked so hard to protect.
"Song Qiao, can you help me check how many shops or other properties Mr. Mi owns?"
"Madam, don't worry, please leave it to your servant."
Song Qiao nodded solemnly in response.
She had just driven away a group of upset relatives when another uninvited guest came to her door.
"When will Yuelai Building open?" Pei Xingyuan climbed over the wall into the courtyard with two jars of wine in his hand.
The only difference from before is that he is rarely wearing the stars and the moon today.
Mi Xiayao was in a troubled mood, "I haven't found the goods yet, so where can I go?"
"Who made you angry again? Why are those old men of the Mi family trying to make things difficult for you again?" Pei Xingyuan raised his eyebrows and asked jokingly.
He asked knowingly, and Mi Xiayao raised her head from the desk and looked at him coldly.
"What does this mean? When I abandoned the Mi family and went to the prince, they did more cruel things than you did."
The man shrugged nonchalantly, poured a glass of wine and put it on the opposite side, waiting for Mi Xiayao to come over and drink.
When he mentioned this, Mi Xiayao suddenly became curious.
She asked further: "I remember that your family Pei is not in the capital. Why did you choose to come to the capital in the first place? Did my grandfather choose you, or did you come to ask for my grandfather?"
The topic she asked hit the nail on the head.
Pei Xingyuan's hand holding the wine glass paused in the air for a few seconds, and finally he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Master respects me."
"So my grandfather chose you, are you lying?"
Mi Xiayao half-squinted her eyes. She still didn't quite understand Pei Xingyuan's subtle movements, but she had spent this time getting along with him.
She is still very keen to detect abnormalities.
Seeing that he couldn't fool the other party, Pei Xingyuan clicked his tongue in annoyance.
Immediately he raised his index finger and knocked on the table, "I didn't come to your place during the day just to set up a relationship between us."
"So you have a secret," Mi Xiayao refused to accept his attempt to change the subject, "We are now like grasshoppers tied to the same boat. You are still hiding it from your partners. If it really comes out, how can I help you?"
Carry it."
"You, a girl, can you hold me in your arms?"
Pei Xingyuan supported the table with both hands, leaned forward, and looked at the woman in front of him with a smile on his handsome features.
Mi Xiayao nodded seriously: "After a while, I often carry goods, maybe I can really carry you."
"Come on, I'm not here to talk nonsense with you."
Pei Xingyuan vaguely felt that he was about to be unable to resist, so he changed the subject in embarrassment.
This time I was smart and didn't leave room for the other party to interrupt.
"The young master has united with the Third Prince's people in the past few days to prepare for their people to come forward to talk to the Emperor..."
When Mi Xiayao heard this, she raised her eyelids and glanced at the other party, interrupting his tirade, "You encouraged the Third Prince's people to report?"
"You understand me."
Pei Xingyuan's thin lips were slightly raised, and his red eyes were full of smiles.
She picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, sighing: "You must be able to stir up trouble."
"Young master, I just think you are praising me," Pei Xingyuan was afraid that Mi Xiayao would ask more about the topic, so he gave up the two bottles of wine without hesitation, "There are still a lot of things waiting for you in Dali Temple, next time
Let’s go back and have a good drink.”
The man turned his back and walked out and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "A girl can drink so well."
——
Here, ever since Uncle Mi and his fourth brother made a scene at her place, the door to her yard has not been quiet.
"Madam, the eldest lady is here."
Mi Xiayao was packing her child's clothes. When she heard Song Qiao's message, she looked up blankly.
Soon, she reacted.
I rushed over to flatter her and apologize.
Everyone in the Mi family had their own secrets, and the uncle never dared to offend her, just for the sake of her father.
But he turned a blind eye to Mi Erye's plan to trip up his father. After she found out about it.
She no longer has that much respect for this uncle.
"Come when you come, just treat me well."
Mi Xiayao continued busy with what she was doing nonchalantly.
When the wet nurse holding the child at the side heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head and look at her again.
"My slave understands."
Song Qiao understood Madam's intention without her needing any advice.
She went out without hesitation.
After almost half a stick of incense, Mi Xiayao stood up unhurriedly and told the wet nurse to take good care of the child.
Then he walked out of the room and walked straight to the lobby.
Sure enough, she saw the eldest lady sitting in her seat, wanting to look around but not daring to be too obvious.
Song Qiao saw her coming in the house and quickly exited the lobby.
"I'm really sorry. Near the end of the year, I have to be busy with more and more things."
Mi Xiayao came in with a guilty smile on her face and poured the tea herself.
The eldest lady was so stunned that she couldn't find anything wrong.
The eldest lady sneered and said weakly: "It's better to be busy."
There is no desire to continue this conversation.
The lobby fell into an unusually quiet atmosphere for a moment.
Mi Xiayao was not in a hurry, she looked at the eldest lady with a smile.
He looked completely humble like a junior.
The eldest lady didn't look like she came here voluntarily, she clutched the veil uneasily.
"Ayao, how is your health these days?"
Mi Xiayao responded calmly, "Everything is fine."
"You married directly from the capital to Jingzhou City. You shouldn't have returned to Qingzhou for many years, right?"
She spoke tentatively, trying to steer the conversation in the direction of Qingzhou.
Mi Xiayao had already guessed what the eldest lady meant.
It seems that she was influenced by others, so she came to test her tone in person.
There is no doubt who this man is.
Of course he is the great uncle.
Immediately, there was a false smile in Mi Xiayao's eyes.
"My daughter is married far away and we haven't seen her for so many years. As a parent, I really miss my child so much."
The eldest lady looked at Mi Xiayao with a smile and began to trick her.
