The two of them were standing in the yard, staring at each other from a long distance away.
Song Qiao looked left and right, trying to move out of this Shura field in small steps.
"I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. What news did Mr. Pei bring this time? Did Duan Honglin make flowers again last time?"
Mi Xiayao coughed lightly and tried to change the topic.
Fortunately, Pei Xingyuan was quite cooperative with her this time and turned a blind eye to the subject.
It's just that the man's red phoenix eyes are always on her body, and even the temperature in his eyes... seems to be much hotter than before.
"After you sent the old lady of the Duan family to jail on the street last time, the Duan family even sold their house and replaced it with a cramped yard in order to make money for this ancestor. Do you know this?"
"I know. I also know that he still has three months without salary. According to the current situation, his next step should be to sell the furniture in his house."
Mi Xiayao nodded magnanimously, and even felt a little complacent when she said this.
He was amused by this appearance and said, "Then do you know that some villains are so driven that they dare to do all kinds of bold and crazy things?"
She crossed her arms across her chest and nodded in understanding.
"I know, but you still do things so decisively in one breath?" Pei Xingyuan laughed angrily. He really couldn't figure out what was going on in Mi Xiayao's little head every day.
"I know very well what a person like Duan Honglin dares to do and what he will do. If he can really hurt me at all, then I will truly admire him."
She chuckled and her confident attitude made Pei Xingyuan feel that this woman was too bold...
Interesting.
"You came here with just this news, right?"
This time it was Mi Xiayao's turn to question Pei Xingyuan.
When the man heard this, he raised his eyebrows. The provocative meaning in these words really aroused his thoughts.
"You have been avoiding me these past few days. The information I have accumulated is enough for you to arrange for three days and three nights."
"Wow, really? Then I'll see."
The two people responded to each other with every word, and it could be said that they were on equal footing.
"It will be the outing season soon. According to the arrangement of the palace, Queen Xu will arrange a small outing party on the Imperial City grounds on the outskirts of the city.
"The things the prince has done recently are not in line with the emperor's wishes. According to Empress Xu Bao'er's eagerness, she may give the prince a chance to claim credit during the outing banquet."
He spoke in a deep voice about his next plan.
Mi Xiayao frowned slightly. She had never come to the capital for the outing banquet in her previous life. She had only heard the news about this kind of gathering from the capital.
Queen Xu's character was very proud. She never thought that the prince was a person who could not stand up to the wall.
Therefore, when she was in the throne, the Xu family could be said to have worked hard to make great achievements for the prince, hoping that the prince could secure his position as heir apparent.
At that outing banquet, Prince Qin Qiao took credit for the work of the younger members of the Xu family in managing the water canals and reported to the emperor.
At that time, the emperor's joy even spread to their Jingzhou city.
"Do you want to burn down the bridge to cross the river, or do you want to flatter them and kill them again?"
Mi Xiayao raised her eyebrows. She spoke clearly and clearly exposed Pei Xingyuan's little thoughts.
The man chuckled lightly and simply leaned against the door frame, looking at the woman in the courtyard.
"In the capital, I have to cooperate with you to get my attention."
What he said doesn't sound like a lie.
Mi Xiayao twitched her lips, "Prince Qin Qiao will fall sooner or later, it just depends on whether you want him to fall harder, or whether you want to strangle him all the way."
He raised his brows, his deep red eyes full of inquiry, "What do you mean?"
Mi Xiayao shrugged indifferently, "I am very straightforward in my conduct and work. If I am really hostile to a person, I will want to torture his whole family and destroy them."
Her last four words were almost articulate, even with a hint of resentment.
Pei Xingyuan looked at her steadily for a moment, his original searching expression gradually dissipating.
Instead, there was a smile hidden in his eyes and a serious look on his face.
"You want to tear down the bridge built by the Xu family?"
"How can it be called demolition? For such a great achievement as water canal management, whoever does it should receive the award."
She corrected the description of the key word Pei Xingyuan.
The man nodded understandingly, "I understand what you mean."
He took a few steps forward, remembered something and said: "This outing, depending on the situation, we may have to set up camp and live outside the city for a few days. If you have time, prepare more things.
"As Si Yi, you know the royal family's arrangements best. You only focus on taking care of those powerful people."
Mi Xiayao looked up at the man who was getting closer, and her eyes involuntarily fell on Pei Xingyuan's thin lips that opened and closed.
It was this damn mouth that bit her and broke the skin inside her mouth, causing her mouth to hurt even after eating for several days!
"Do you know?"
Pei Xingyuan's voice seemed to be far away.
Mi Xiayao was still staring at his mouth, grinding her teeth secretly. She had to think of a way to make him experience her painful days.
"Mi Xiayao!"
"ah?"
She suddenly came back to her senses and saw Pei Xingyuan looking at her with a playful smile. His handsome features and playful expression could be said to be quite...
Deserve a fight.
"Why are you staring at my mouth, young master? Is there stubble on my face or something?"
As the man spoke, he touched his chin with his hand.
In Mi Xiayao's eyes, this action was like lighting a torch and throwing it into a branch.
She felt inexplicably angry in her heart, so she raised her foot and made a fake move.
Pei Xingyuan dodged this time because of the shadow of the carriage earlier.
"Get out of here, do you have a crush on you? Then I might as well just turn around!"
"Hiss - why are you like this? How am I worse than Duan Honglin!?"
He still wanted to argue a few words, but she gave up the chance and turned around and slammed the door and entered the house.
The man was left speechless and shaking his head. Finally, he put his hands on his hips and bowed his head helplessly with a smile.
There is really nothing he can do with this woman.
——
As expected, just a few days after the outing banquet that Pei Xingyuan mentioned last time, news came one after another from the palace that the father-in-law came over and started talking about these things.
The Mi family also joined the group. In addition to Mr. Mi and his wife, Mi Xiayao was also brought along alone.
Among them, Mi Xiayao can bring another sister.
Just because of such a quota, a new wave of bloodshed began in the backyard of Mi Mansion.
But all of this has nothing to do with her, Mi Xiayao.
According to what she said at the time.
"Since the old lady is in charge at home, it is the old lady who decides who will be given the position."
With this free time to fight with that group of people, it would be more practical for her to go to the palace or Yuelai Tower to make some money.
