Mi Hanhai followed Mi Xiayao back to the small courtyard where she lived.
As soon as he entered the hospital, he saw Song Qiao holding a murmuring child and hurriedly taking care of the child.
Mi's father only knew that his daughter was divorced, but he didn't know that his daughter had a child.
His eyes widened at that moment and he called his daughter, "Ayao, my father originally thought that since you have divorced and you don't have children to accompany you, it will not be difficult to find a good family. You..."
He looked at the child with complicated eyes.
I have almost an entire series in mind.
A lonely mother and son traveled a long distance back to the capital to seek refuge with their family, only to find that their uncles were unreliable and ended up living in an outer courtyard with their children.
He didn't even dare to think about how his daughter could fight against the Duan family alone.
Before Mi Xiayao had time to explain, she witnessed the subtle changes in her father's expression.
She said dumbfounded: "No, dad, things are not what you think."
She personally brought her father into the house and made sure there was no one outside. She skillfully held the child and sat in front of him.
Mi Hanhai is a considerate person, and he watched his daughter take care of the children so skillfully.
He felt extremely uncomfortable inside.
Mi Xiayao hid her revenge on Duan Honglin and Lin Miao's children, as well as her cooperation with Pei Xingyuan, and she told almost everything else.
Actually, not much.
"I met this child in Jingzhou City. Her mother was temporarily in trouble. She heard that I was the eldest lady of the former magistrate. She thought I was a good person, so she entrusted the child to me."
When Mi Xiayao said this, she felt a little twisted in her heart.
When she said this, she herself didn't believe it.
"I see, it's really my daughter who has won the hearts of the people like this!" Mi Hanhai nodded happily.
Mi Xiayao:......?
"Father...if you don't wonder why I brought the child with me, how can any widow come to see her child off?"
"There is nothing to be suspicious of. My daughter has strong ability to be close to the people and is relied upon by others. This is a father's pride."
As he spoke, Mi Hanhai happily stretched out his hand. The more he looked at this little guy, the happier he became.
"Look! This is a symbol of my daughter's ability!"
Mi Hanhai teased the child and watched the little guy open his mouth in amusement, even though his mouth didn't even have all the teeth.
"Are you going to raise this child by yourself or what?" Mi Hanhai changed his mind and took the topic in a practical direction.
Mi Xiayao is immersed in the happiness of her father trusting her without any threshold.
She really hadn't thought about this question and was a little confused for a moment.
Mi Hanhai hugged the child and said cheerfully: "It's not appropriate for this child to be recorded in your name. You are now divorced and your family is so powerful. It would be too unfair for you to have a child. How about recording it in my name?"
"
"Dad...this will mess up the seniority." Mi Xiayao looked at her father with a dumbfounded look.
He groaned and then reacted, "That's right, then put it in your brother's name. Anyway, your brother has already agreed to get married, so it's okay to put it in his name and not take up the position of the eldest son."
Mi Xiayao was a little surprised. She remembered that her brother in the previous life said that the marriage only started at the beginning of the year?
"It won't sound good if the eldest son of a common concubine speaks out. How will you make this woman feel?"
"I'll just take him to my household registration some other day."
Mi Xiayao didn't care at all whether he was named the eldest son or the eldest son of a concubine. Anyway, it was just a false name.
Although Mi Hanhai was dissatisfied with her arrangement, he did not say it openly. He only said, "There is no need to rush this matter. Just think about it in the long term."
After all, he was indeed mentally weak after traveling for so many days. He left the child behind and went to rest in the private room arranged by Mi Xiayao.
Without the wet nurse, Mi Xiayao would still have to do many things to take care of the children alone.
She had just finished wiping Xiaobao's body when suddenly there were three orderly knocks on the window.
At this time, under the window of the corridor on the other side, Mi Hanhai walked over again worriedly.
"Don't lose your temper and stay in bed tomorrow. My father will take you to the shops in the capital to look around."
The knocked window was opened uninvited, and Pei Xingyuan, wearing a black round robe, was sitting on the window coffin.
He raised his eyebrows and raised his chin toward the window, his eyes filled with confusion.
Mi Xiayao glared at the man, turned to her father outside the window and answered.
"If the child wants to take a nap, just bring him to my house. I have more experience taking care of children than you."
Mi's father was young. When he heard the voice through the window, it seemed to be a deep, mellow male voice.
Pei Xingyuan didn't hear the title of father just now, he thought it was another man outside the window.
His handsome face immediately darkened.
"Aren't you tired after traveling all day? I'll just take care of you. You can rest quickly."
Mi Xiayao responded to Mi's father, but her eyes were full of warning as she looked at Pei Xingyuan.
Mifu sighed, turned around and left.
"I haven't taken the initiative to find you for a long time, so you found another supporter? How is he better than me? Does he have life experience or is he more powerful than me?"
The man lowered his voice, and his low-pitched voice was slightly rough.
Mi Xiayao could vaguely hear his... grievance?
"What are you crazy about?"
"I'm not crazy, you just left with someone else."
"I didn't leave with you in the first place!"
Mi Xiayao's voice rose slightly, whimpering like a little beast.
What he said was so true that it knocked Pei Xingyuan awake.
He suppressed the unpleasantness of the low pressure and just hummed softly.
"Why did you ask Song Qiao to come to me today?"
"I've taken care of the Dongxiang shop, and the silver coins sold..."
Before she could finish speaking, the child behind her who was supposed to be lying on the bed started to cry because no one had played with him for a long time.
This cry made Mi Xiayao and Pei Xingyuan tremble with fear.
The child's crying soon attracted Song Qiao's movement.
"It's okay, the child is nauseous, I can just calm him down, and you can just watch at the door." Mi Xiayao raised her voice to stop her from pushing the door open and entering.
Song Qiao heard what Madam meant and secretly thought that it was probably Master Pei who came to ask for money.
After solving the hidden danger outside, Mi Xiayao picked up the topic again.
"I paid one thousand taels for my shop, and sold it for five thousand taels. After deducting the expense of my heavy bleeding, we got 4,000 taels and 55 cents."
Pei Xingyuan always knew how well Mi Xiayao planned.
But he didn't expect that she would now make calculations directly in front of him.
The man chuckled, "Your inner calculations can be heard by everyone in the palace."
"That's not very good. Everyone knows what I am like. I can ask for a higher price in the future."
Mi Xiayao's beautiful eyes were slightly curved, filled with a sly smile.
After receiving the two thousand taels of silver notes handed over by Mi Xiayao, he thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty will deal with the prince in the next few days, and the master will most likely be released from prison. Then you can persuade the master to stop trying to be righteous."
