After Pei Xingyuan was finally sent away, Mi Xiayao was not idle either.
She recently discussed with Gu Yun about the pricing direction of Yuelailou's cloth sales, and these days she was busy thinking about how to raise the reputation of Yuelailou from the people at the bottom to the top.
And don't jump too much.
Early the next morning, Mi Xiayao handed the child over to Mi Hanhai, and she took Song Qiao to Yuelai Building to see the progress of the renovation.
As soon as we entered Yuelai Building, the decoration workers were walking out carrying long boards. When they saw Mi Xiayao coming, the foreman hurriedly came to greet her.
"Madam, you are here. Someone was sneaking around in front of our shop last night."
The foreman's expression was solemn, and it seemed that this matter was quite serious.
Mi Xiayao didn't react at all. She had too many opponents, who knew which one was sneaky.
"Have you seen who it is?" she asked.
The foreman touched his head and said, "You look a little fat, and your big belly can't be nourished without some delicacies. I guess he may be an adult of some status."
To have an opponent with this kind of body type.
The first to be eliminated must be family enemies like Duan Honglin.
In the end, the scope was narrowed down to only one person.
Mi Xiayao frowned slightly, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, "What did he do after he came?"
The foreman shook his head, "I didn't do anything. I just peeked at the decoration of our house, walked around the Yuelai Building and ran away."
Mi Xiayao nodded to express her understanding and sent the foreman away.
After Song Qiao listened for a long time, she realized who it was, "Isn't it Master Mi who discovered our little trick?"
"Even if he found out, he wouldn't dare do anything to me. At most, he would block me in front of the store and try to embarrass me."
Mi Xiayao chuckled. She took a look at the renovation progress and mentally estimated the expected time.
Just as she was about to walk out of Yuelai Building, an unexpected person came.
"Niece, isn't it a little too cruel to do what you do?"
Mr. Mi and his two servants came over angrily to question Mi Xiayao.
There is only a thin maid behind the woman, facing three fierce-looking people in front of her.
She wasn't panicked at all.
"Second uncle, what did you say? Why didn't I understand?" There was a gentle smile on her lips.
In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, it was this vicious uncle who ran over and surrounded the innocent and pitiful junior.
Mr. Mi took out a piece of paper from his arms, with black and white writing clearly written on it.
He pointed to the last signature, Song Qiao, and looked at her with a gloomy look.
"I went to ask, your maid's name is Song Qiao! You pretended to be your maid and bought the shop from me at a low price. This is obviously extortion! It's extortion! It's fraud!"
Mi Xiayao tilted her head, as if it was the first time she heard such a thing.
"Song Qiao, is this happening?"
"I have an aunt in my family. She has been very kind to me since I was a child. I just told my aunt that I bought a shop a few days ago...ah!"
Song Qiao's acting skills are indeed brought out by Mi Xiayao, and they are superb.
She covered her small mouth and looked at Master Mi with her big eyes, "Could it be that my aunt bought from Master Mi's shop!"
"you are lying!"
Mr. Mi was slow to smell something strange in it.
Ever since he bumped into Mi Xiayao in the official alley that day, he had already felt a little strange.
Later, I personally went to the Yamen and asked some connections to inquire about the current ownership of the shop. I found that the shop had been transferred to another hand.
Although I don’t know how much this shop sold for.
But if he spends one thousand taels here, he will definitely lose money!!!
This fall was not a casual stumble, it was a loss of half of his private pocket!
"What's going on?" Mi Xiayao looked at Song Qiao knowingly.
Song Qiao recounted the process of buying a shop that day, as if she had heard about it from her aunt.
"My aunt told me that she bought a very good deal on the street for only one thousand taels. It is not easy to get such a price in a place like Beijing where land is at a premium.
"My aunt also told the slave that if you don't know what to buy, you can get a lot of money by renting out the shop, and you can accumulate it every month!"
Song Qiao's light and joyful voice was like a sharp blade scratching at the tip of Master Mi's heart.
"Ah!" Mi Xiayao suddenly realized. She turned to look at Mr. Mi and said with a crooked smile: "Second uncle, even if you blame me for this, you can't blame my maid, right?
"We are all businessmen doing business, and our losses and profits must be compared to scales in our minds. How many kilograms or taels, and how many points we have earned must be clear and clear.
"The injustice you are suffering now is the result of your own decisive decision. How can you find someone who is not involved to reason with you when you have suffered a loss?"
Mi Xia Yao's short-tempered temperament was completely exposed, forcing Master Mi to be unable to say a word.
She watched Mr. Mi's face go from red with veins at the beginning to the color of pig liver at the end.
The joy in my heart is difficult to express in words.
"Mi Xiayao! Don't think that your uncle is protecting you, you think that you can stay in the Mi family!
"You are just a foreigner!"
The middle-aged man scolded and roared in a loud voice.
There are always people coming and going on the street, and there are always people who can't keep track of gossip and want to find out more.
Mr. Mi was already burning with anger, taking over his remaining sanity. He was about to act impulsively if he took a step forward.
She subconsciously took a step back, trying to avoid Mr. Mi.
Seeing that he couldn't escape, suddenly a big hand wearing a tunic sleeve grabbed Mi Erye's wrist.
She looked up along the cuffs and saw that the man was handsome, tall and slender.
"Sir Rong!" Mr. Mi looked happy when he saw Rong Yuanzhou.
He turned around and reported Mi Xiayao and her maid for committing fraud.
Rong Yuanzhou glanced at the frightened Mi Xiayao, and then looked at the man with a big belly and a treacherous face in front of him.
"All I saw in my eyes was that you were bullying a woman, and she didn't do any substantial harm at all."
"Sir, it's not what you see now!" Mi Erye reacted quickly and immediately withdrew his hand, trying to explain something.
Rong Yuanzhou pressed his thin lips into a straight line and chuckled.
Mi Xiayao did not expect that Master Zuo Tongzheng, whom she had only met once, would actually help her.
She really didn't want to owe this favor.
"Excuse me, please come with me." Rong Yuanzhou kept following Master Mi's explanation, and looked at each other with his colleagues who were traveling with him.
The other party took the earth-colored Mr. Mi away with him.
Seeing that Rong Yuanzhou had no intention of leaving, Mi Xiayao thought about it and took the initiative to say, "Thank you, Master Rong."
She had selfish motives, thinking that if she thanked him first, she would be owed less of the favor.
But the other party didn't appreciate it at all and said with a smile, "If Miss Mi wants to thank me, you can thank me if you have anything else."
