When Mr. Mi saw that his always tough niece was actually weak in front of him, he didn't know how to resist.
The door of Pei Mansion was pushed open at this moment, and immediately afterwards, Pei Xingyuan was seen wearing regular clothes, looking towards the alley with half-squinted red phoenix eyes.
"Who I thought it was, turned out to be the Mi family."
The man raised his eyebrows as he heard the gatekeeper describing the scene just now in detail.
He looked at Mi Xiayao holding a handkerchief to wipe the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes.
I was sighing in my heart that in addition to asking for cooperation benefits, this woman is also so good at acting.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Pei?" Mr. Mi turned his head and looked at Pei Xingyuan.
His expression remained unchanged, even full of cynicism.
Mi Xiayao was not the one to be the peacemaker in the misunderstanding between these two people.
She found an excuse to leave the alley, and then Mr. Mi didn't want to have much communication with Pei Xingyuan.
Pei Xingyuan watched the two people leaving one after another.
And at this moment, the boy patrolling the courtyard came over carrying a stack of women's robes.
"Master, I saw these clothes at the side door..."
The boy didn't know if he had read too many story books, and looked at him solemnly, "These women's clothes suddenly appeared without any reason. I'm afraid someone has bad intentions and wants to touch the porcelain. Master, what can we do?"
You have to be careful, or will you burn these clothes?"
Pei Xingyuan followed his gaze and saw that the color of the clothes seemed familiar.
Thanks to his clever mind, when he thought about the clothes Mi Xiayao was wearing just now, he felt awkward at first glance.
He hooked his fingers, and the boy handed over the clothes without knowing why.
"There is indeed someone with bad intentions." The man brought the clothes close to his nose and smelled it.
Sure enough, I smelled the familiar aroma, and immediately raised a meaningful smile on my thin lips, and tightened my grip on the coat in my hand.
——
The first thing Mi Xiayao did when she returned to the courtyard was to ask Song Qiao to go to the merchant store where she was transferred. The shop at No. 32, East Lane, was sold at a high price of 5,000 taels.
And she was leisurely holding the baby in her arms and circling the courtyard to coax him to sleep.
Song Qiao worked very neatly and brought back the processed news quickly.
"But when I went to Pei Mansion, the guard guard said that his master had gone out, so I didn't dare to give the money out and brought it back intact."
"Then I'll give it to you in a few days. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry..." Mi Xiayao didn't care about Pei Xingyuan.
She was thinking about how she would deal with this old scoundrel if Mr. Mi found out that the shop had changed hands again and found her.
At this time, people from the Mi Mansion next door ran to the door of her courtyard again.
This time is different from the previous arrogant visits.
The people from Mi Mansion knocked on the door of the courtyard respectfully, and after Song Qiao opened it, they said, "The third master is back, and he also invites the girl to go to Mi Mansion."
The master and servant looked at each other.
When they entered the house, Song Qiao lowered her voice and asked, "The master is here. What will you do if he doesn't turn to Madam?"
Ever since Mi Xiayao and Duan Honglin reconciled, Song Qiao should have changed her name and called her girl back, but Mi Xiayao didn't let her change her name. She just kept calling her madam.
For the outside world, it is relatively convenient. When you meet a man with evil intentions, hearing the address of Madam can always dispel some of his malicious thoughts.
"No, anyone can bully me, but my father will never do it."
Mi Xiayao lowered her eyes and looked at the energetic boy in her arms. The thought that she had been coaxing him for most of an hour, only to get a knock on the door from the Mi family made her perk up.
She was very angry.
Those people in the Mi family, besides being disgusting with her in business, also live like this! It's so annoying!
"You can stay in the hospital and take care of the children. I can go to Mi Mansion alone."
"Is this possible?"
Mi Xiayao glanced at her, "Can people from this Mi Mansion still skin me alive?"
"If Madam doesn't come back in three hours, how about I go to Pei Mansion to bring you some reinforcements?"
Song Qiao looked at her sadly.
She was arranging herself in front of the bronze mirror, and was amused when she heard Song Qiao's extremely awkward look.
"Sure, I'll do as you say."
——
When she stepped into Mi Mansion, she could immediately feel the feeling of depression.
This felt even lower than the last time she sent money.
It can be seen to the naked eye that there are far fewer servants walking under the corridor in the mansion.
Entering the main hall, she saw her uncle sitting in the main seat, and her father Mi Hanhai sitting in the deputy main seat.
The brothers in the same hall seemed to be in harmony, but the fawning look in everyone's eyes made Mi Xiayao feel disgusting and artificial.
She entered the house without changing her expression and heard her uncle's angry voice.
"My third brother is far away in Qingzhou and may not know that Ayao has made great achievements in the capital.
"Look what's coming, Ayao is here."
Mi Hanhai quickly turned his head and looked over, and saw his daughter walking steadily, her face no longer the innocent and bright smile in his memory.
When the second master Mi saw Mi Xia Yao, he felt unhappy, "The third girl is very prestigious in the capital, and she is a popular person in the eyes of the nobles. If it hadn't been for her a few days ago, our Mi family wouldn't have been able to enter the prince's banquet."
Woolen cloth!"
These words are full of yin and yang meaning.
Mi Hanhai glanced at his second brother and said nothing, but let the brothers expose Mi Xiayao's faults one by one.
Immediately afterwards, the fourth uncle added fuel to the fire, "The child has grown up, and now his wings are hardened. He did something important in Jingzhou City without saying a word and then returned to the capital."
And during the whole process, Mi Xiayao stood there, looking at her father with open eyes and no fear.
Mi Hanhai's face showed little emotion at first, and he looked at his daughter deeply.
Listening to the bad words these brothers said, their faces gradually darkened.
Second Master Mi looked at his third brother's unhappy face and thought that he was dissatisfied with his daughter after hearing what he said.
But the uncle was a good person, and he could tell at a glance that Mi Hanhai had a bad expression on his face.
"Ayao is considered a young adult now. You can do whatever you want. Children and grandchildren will be blessed by themselves."
When Mi Hanhai heard this, his gloomy face finally relaxed a little.
He cleared his throat and said, "If my son is wronged in someone else's family, it is her fault to turn that family upside down. My daughter, Mi Hanhai, has never been wronged!"
The man glanced at the brothers beside him, his eyes full of complicated emotions.
But finally my eyes fell on my uncle, and I was somewhat relieved.
This little bit of relief made Mi Xiayao frown fiercely.
"Okay, Lao San is tired from traveling, let's reunite the father and daughter first."
