Duan Honglin stopped pretending. He stood up and patted the dust on his knees with resentment.
With fierceness in his eyes, the man took a step forward in her direction, "Mi Xiayao, don't go too far in your conduct."
Mi Hanhai, who was standing behind him and had been paying attention to the whole process, saw this and immediately stood up to protect his daughter behind him.
"Is it too much? What I am doing now is not as cruel as what you did back then. Is this unbearable?"
She chuckled lightly, and the sarcasm in her words almost made Duan Honglin pull out the blood strips.
Mi Xiayao patted her father's shoulder gently to indicate that she was fine.
Immediately, she took out a piece of white paper with black writing from the prepared box and shook it in the air.
"Mr. Duan, noble people often forget things, but it doesn't matter. I, the prime minister, can support the boat.
Mi Xiayao unfolded the paper and showed it to Duan Honglin.
"You misappropriated my dowry without my consent. When we divorced, you signed it yourself. Don't forget this debt letter."
She spoke clearly, and every sentence contained unequivocal facts.
As expected, Duan Honglin's expression suddenly changed, his eyes darkened, and he strode forward to grab the debt book.
Mi Hanhai quickly pushed Duan Honglin away, protecting his daughter and the debt book behind him.
After Mi Xiayao achieved her goal, she carefully put the debt book back into the box.
"You were the one who threatened me on purpose! You have already taken away the dowry, and you have already done so many things!"
Duan Honglin's eyelids twitched. He didn't expect that Mi Hanhai, his former father-in-law, would actually protect this woman.
"Father-in-law, in the past few years since Mi Xiayao and I got married, she has never supported her parents, let alone managed the Duan family. A useless woman like her has cheated on her!"
Duan Honglin poured out his bitterness like crazy, trying to arouse sympathy among men to Mi Hanhai.
Mi Hanhai frowned when he heard the last sentence, but it did not affect him from protecting his daughter behind him.
He raised his brows and was about to teach this scumbag a lesson, "The daughter I have raised for more than ten years has been pampered and pampered since she was a child. When she married into your Duan family, I only allowed it because A Yao liked you.
If you can't treat her well, then don't blame my daughter for being cruel."
Duan Honglin's eyes were panicked and he shook his head. He pointed at Mi Xiayao and began to confuse right and wrong.
"Why does your good daughter insist on getting divorced from me? Do you know the reason? She doesn't have the face to tell you, right?!"
"Duan Honglin!" Mi Xiayao didn't expect that she would not only embarrass him a little, but instead drive him to the edge.
She shouted her name and tried to threaten Duan Honglin into saying something nice.
But Duan Honglin was no longer afraid of Mi Xiayao now. He laughed and said, "Master Mi, I'm afraid you don't know. Three days before she wanted to reconcile with me, she was with the Zuo of Dali Temple who had just come to Jingzhou City to handle the case.
Shaoqing, you are content with me!"
Mi Xiayao's eyelids twitched fiercely, how could this man confuse right and wrong so badly?
Here, Mi Hanhai's expression changed, and he turned his head to look at Mi Xiayao in disbelief.
The Mi family knows who Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple is.
His daughter has a relationship with Pei Xingyuan, and it’s not even close. According to this clue, we will visit him during the New Year...
It is not difficult to explain why Mi Xiayao rushed over to the rescue so quickly after receiving the news from him.
"My daughter, who abides by the female precepts, how she respected you, a country woman and old mother, is vividly remembered by our Mi family. Do you really think that our Mi family is not in Jingzhou City, and that your Duan family is just as far away as the mountains and the emperor, so you are telling lies with your eyes wide open?
"
Fortunately, Mi Hanhai didn't believe what such "outsiders" said, and he exposed the lies in Duan Honglin's words.
Immediately, the father and daughter scolded Duan Honglin, who was not a human being inside and out.
"Duan Honglin, stop struggling here. Do you think there will be anyone in my mansion who can turn against you?
Mi Xiayao was really impatient, so she walked to Duan Honglin's side.
The two people looked at each other and could clearly see the emotions in each other's eyes.
"On this debt note, it is written clearly that you, Duan Honglin, and even your descendants owe me, Mi Xiayao, a dowry worth millions, including the interest, because you became the Minister of Rites.
With a salary of just a few hundred taels, you still have to repay me for hundreds of years without losing a penny."
Her red lips curved into a contemptuous smile, and she looked like a person with great power.
"It is a matter of course that you should pay back the money you owe. You'd better pray that Lin Miao in your backyard will be angry and give you more debt repayers who can make money."
After saying that, she waved her sleeves and signaled to the sturdy gatekeeper at the door to drag this dirty-mouthed man out.
Duan Honglin was stunned by her scolding. By the time he reacted and wanted to get angry, it was too late.
He struggled fiercely in the courtyard, no longer caring about his image, and shouted: "Mi Xiayao! Since you are unkind, why don't you blame me for being unjust and forcing me to die? Well, let's wait and see in the capital!"
Mi Xiayao stood at the door, with her hands folded across her chest, looking coldly at the ugly Duan Honglin.
Until the struggling Duan Honglin was thrown out of the gate of the Villa like garbage by her people.
People on the street looked at a man dressed as an official from the Ministry of Etiquette. He staggered and wore his official hat at an angle. He stared at the courtyard door with a ferocious expression.
It is really rare to see people looking embarrassed in official uniforms on the street.
Many people watching the theater began to murmur something, and some theatergoers who were relatively well-informed explained in a low voice.
An insider said: "The owner of this courtyard is not simple. I heard that the younger generation had a bad relationship with the masters of the Mi family, so he moved out and lived in a separate courtyard."
Passers-by marveled, "This young man is a man of great temperament."
"Hey, in what I said just now, it didn't say he was a man."
"This... girl can have such confidence and courage. She is indeed an extraordinary person."
An insider folded his hands on his chest, half-squinting his eyes in a pretense of deepness, and said with emotion: "This daughter of the Mi family has just become a female official and has not yet covered her official seal. She starts to show off her official status here. She dares to bully a person."
He is now a ninth-grade official."
Passers-by took one look at this man who spoke so eloquently and became happy.
"You know quite a lot."
"You don't even have to look at who I am, you know." The man who was thinking so eloquently just now chuckled.
Passers-by only thought that this man knew a lot, but it was a pity that he was a fool who loved to giggle.
In the courtyard, Mi Hanhai looked at Mi Xiayao with a complicated face.
My daughter is standing here alone. She is thin and small, but her aura is extraordinary.
Looking more carefully, he vaguely felt that he could see Pei Xingyuan, a fool who seemed to have a chance to win.
