In the front hall, Mr. Mi was pointing at the door and said mercilessly: "Our Mi family has never welcomed traitors."
"Isn't it a bit unpleasant to hear what my second uncle said?"
Mi Xiayao frowned tightly and walked quickly into the house.
On the way here, I heard from a servant that as soon as Mr. Pei brought someone in with a gift box, Mr. Mi was scornful and even threw part of the gift box out.
It was an embarrassing time, but Mr. Mi was called away because of some matters.
There was no one in the front hall to control the situation, so the incident naturally broke out.
Standing next to Pei Xingyuan, she could just see Master Mi's ferocious expression.
"The front hall is a man's place. What are you doing here as a girl? Go back!"
Mr. Mi didn't have a good expression when he saw Mi Xiayao.
Seeing Mr. Mi talking like crazy, she couldn't help but think of Ge's malicious appearance in the backyard.
The faces of the two parents-in-law were exactly the same.
"If I don't come, my second uncle can keep the cold-blooded and ruthless face of our family firmly in place."
She pulled Pei Xingyuan's sleeves and led him behind her, while she helped him block Mr. Mi.
But she forgot for a moment that her height only reached Pei Xingyuan's shoulders. She blocked her body but could not block the other person's sight.
Second Master Mi confidently pointed at Pei Xingyuan's nose and scolded: "I don't get along with you on weekdays, let alone family matters, but he is an outsider!"
"What did the second uncle say? It was grandpa who wanted to save Pei Xingyuan in the first place, and it was grandpa who cultivated Pei Xingyuan with all his heart. You don't ask grandpa about this matter, and you embarrass him based on your own feelings.
"Have you considered grandpa's feelings?"
After moving Mr. Mi out, Mr. Mi really looked a little unnatural.
"To put it harshly, you are not the one who spends money and energy. You stand and talk without pain, and you just drive people away casually.
"What do you think of those people who spend money and work hard? This matter has nothing to do with you, just don't do things randomly!"
She raised her chin with a cold expression, and even the words she spoke were decisive and merciless.
This was even more bloody and straightforward than what Mr. Mi said when he asked someone to come to question him after she bought his shop.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders present in the front hall at this time, so the scandal had not yet spread.
Pei Xingyuan stood behind her. He didn't speak during the whole process, but just lowered his eyebrows.
He was looking at Mi Xiayao in front of him absentmindedly.
Her petite body stood alone in front of him.
The hands hidden under the sleeves were held tightly.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Mi Xiayao turned her head and asked the servant behind her, "Have you received the gift from Mr. Pei?"
The servant glanced timidly at Mr. Pei, and then at Mr. Mi Er, whose face was as pale as pig liver.
"I didn't... didn't dare to accept it."
When she heard this, she turned around and looked at the servant again.
"Who makes you dare not? What is Mr. Pei's identity? Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he is a high-ranking fifth-rank official!"
"Let's collect the little one right now, go right now."
The servant saw that this aunt had a bad temper and seemed to be reasonable, so she didn't dare to refute anything.
He immediately took the gift boxes carried by the boy behind Pei Xingyuan and placed them carefully.
Here, Mr. Mi never thought that one day, this junior would dare to get on top of him.
He lowered his eyebrows and started pointing at her, threatening: "Mi Xiayao, I don't pursue you on weekdays. That's because you are the only daughter of my third brother. Don't think that I dare not touch you!"
Pei Xingyuan's heart was almost full of ripples.
He retracted his thoughts, held her hand with his backhand, and pulled it behind him.
Behind one hand, the handsome features looked at Master Mi gloomily, "Young master is here to see Mr. Mi. If Mr. Mi doesn't see you, I will recognize you."
His words were reserved, but he wasn't too restrained.
Reading between the lines, it is said that what he is meeting is not your second master Mi, but the cabinet minister who is the head of the Mi family, Bachelor Mi.
Sure enough, Mr. Mi's face was as hot as pig's liver, and he even had a hint of losing his temper.
Looking at the two juniors in front of him who were protecting each other, Mr. Mi completely took the grudge between these two people into account.
Seeing that there was a stalemate, the uncles who were sitting aside watching the show came forward one after another.
"In the final analysis, Mr. Pei is still thinking about his father. We are all experienced in doing things in the imperial court. We all know that we have no control over our own actions."
"Second brother, calm down. In the final analysis, our Mi family is developing well in Beijing. The younger generation is used to showing off in our name outside and is lawless even when we go home."
Why are these words getting more and more unpleasant to hear!
Mi Xiayao was furious. Her efforts had never been in the favor of the uncles of the Mi family!
She was about to cross Pei Xingyuan to refute what one of her uncles said.
Unexpectedly, there was a burst of pressure in the palm of the hand, and the big palm was turned back and the ten fingers of the small hand were interlocked.
He suppressed Mi Xiayao.
She didn't understand and looked up at the man.
The other party shook his head slightly, and with just one look, she could tell that he wanted to stop being impulsive.
Arguing with these people is just a waste of time.
By chance, the housekeeper of Mi Mansion hurriedly walked to the front hall at this moment.
"Miss, Mr. Pei, please come this way. The master is waiting for you two in the study."
The old butler's words brought the quarrel just now to a satisfactory conclusion.
Master Mi reluctantly let them go. He looked at the pair of juniors and gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't give me some strength, today's juniors are going to make a big fuss!"
——
Here, in the study room of Mi Mansion, Mr. Mi is looking thoughtfully at the chessboard in front of him.
He waited for the sound of footsteps in the outer courtyard.
I saw these two juniors walking in one after the other.
"sit."
Mr. Mi pointed to the seat that had been prepared for a long time, and then said straight to the point: "I heard from my servants that you guys had a quarrel with me in the front hall?"
"My granddaughter couldn't see what my second uncle did and couldn't hold it back for a while. When my second uncle's anger subsides, my granddaughter will prepare a gift and go to apologize to my second uncle."
Mi Xiayao said it very nicely.
Pei Xingyuan glanced at this woman who was full of lies. Her words were not so convincing when put together.
"What are you apologizing for? If you hadn't stopped me from doing this, I might have embarrassed myself even more. Don't worry about him. I'll just leave this matter to grandpa."
Mi Lao waved his hand. Obviously, he didn't mind Mi Xia Yao's elder's face.
In Mi Lao's eyes, as long as the child has ability and capital, he is not bad at all.
He would never take the initiative to interfere with these children's thoughts.
"Grandpa called you here because he has something else to say.
"In a few days, the Queen Mother of the Palace will be going to pay homage to the Buddha. She will have two tasks at that time, and I will need your help from the two juniors."
Mi Lao held the black piece and looked at the two outstanding juniors in front of him with benevolent eyes.
