The people of the Mi family in the hall all looked at Xu Wen suspiciously, their expressions were full of surprise, and Mitu asked uneasily, "What secret?" ”

"Your Mi family and the Sijing country colluded privately and plotted against each other, if I tell my father about this, I can immediately convict your Mi family of conspiracy, and then you won't be able to eat and walk around!" Xu Wen was indignant and said domineeringly.

Mi Zheng seemed a little restless, after all, Xu Wen mentioned the state of thought, and I don't know how many secrets this Xu Wen has, even if there is no evidence, it is not impossible to convict the Mi family with power. Anxiously asked, "How can you see it?" ”

"I have secretly investigated, not long ago, a carriage carried a mysterious visitor to the Mijia Restaurant, lived for a few days before leaving, and after tracking only to learn that the mysterious visitor was actually a person from the state of thought, what are you not colluding with foreign enemies? He was so bold as to be so bold. Xu Wen replied.

After hearing this, Mitu couldn't help but tremble, and immediately prayed with good words: "Young Master Xu, if you have something to say, why bother being so tense." ”

Chen Ziyu only knew that the old man who came not long ago was Mitu's grandmother, but he didn't expect that it was a person of thought, and he was so surprised that he didn't speak. However, seeing the Mi family's panicked faces, they probably knew what was going on. After a moment of trance, he calmed down, and said, "Cousin, if you have something to say, is it okay to look at my face?" I think there must be some misunderstanding. ”

"If there is any misunderstanding, the evidence is conclusive." Xu Wen spoke resolutely, very determined. looked at Chen Ziyu, changed his stiff tone slightly, and said: "This matter is non-negotiable, but, for Ziyu's sake, I have only one condition, you must agree, otherwise don't blame me for being polite." After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

Mitu asked, "What conditions?" ”

"I don't know what to do, promise the marriage, three days later, I will come to marry Miss Mi, I have explained the marriage to my father before I came, you can do it yourself, whether you want to die or want to be rich, you had better weigh it!" Xu Wen said, didn't look back, took a folding fan and got up and left.

Xu Wen's biological mother passed away at an early age, his father Xu Xianling had two concubines, Xu Wen was always-for-tat with his stepmother, Xu Xianling was ashamed of Xu Wen's biological mother in his early years, Xu Wen's biological mother had passed away for many years, and she had always been obsessed with it. So I have always been more indulgent to Xu Wen, and what Xu Wen decided, no matter how big or small, as long as it is not too excessive, Xu County Commander will try his best to meet his requirements. Now that Xu Wen said that he wanted to marry Mi'er, Xu County Ling also turned a blind eye and promised to do his marriage.

However, Xu Xianling is not absolutely conniving at Xu Wen, Xu Xianling is very fond of vanity, and he can't hear others say bad things about him, and he has always paid attention to superficial skills. In order to gain the good reputation of the well-known county order, it is rare to blatantly oppress the people, in order to benefit the people, but also in the peach to build a river, build magnificent houses, the streets and alleys are staggered, it is not like a village, with the taste of the capital city in the city, so that the peach village presents a thriving scene.

It stands to reason that if a person like Xu Wen does not have some of the constraints of his father's face-saving project, why should he spend money to cultivate people who do things secretly for him, and there are people in the government office; If you want to marry Mi'er, you don't need to secretly investigate the secret of the Mi family, use this as a bargaining chip, as a coercion, just force Mi'er to marry directly, it is simple and rude and efficient. However, Xu Xianling is especially concerned about and concerns about reputation, and Xu Wen is not allowed to privately call people from the government to do private affairs for him, nor does he allow Xu Wen to have a bad reputation for forcibly marrying a people's daughter, otherwise the good reputation he has maintained for many years will be ruined, and there will be nowhere to put his face. Regarding the bottom line of this Xu County Order, Xu Wen naturally understands his father's temperament and does not touch it.

After Xu Wen left the Mi family, Mitu panicked and persuaded his father to agree to his marriage for the sake of the family, at this time, Mitu had become a squire because of the relationship between the township examination and the Chen family, and the official position was equal to his father-in-law, Mitu did not want to bury his life and good future. Mi Zheng had no idea, Zhenyu had already arrived in Mi'er's room at this time and told Mi'er about it, Mi'er couldn't help but be angry after hearing it, and she just wanted to pick Xu Wen's skin, how could she agree to marry her.

At this time, a strict atmosphere of panic spread in the Mi family, everyone is waiting for Mi Er to reply, if Mi Er refuses to do so anyway, Xu Wen will not give up, if it is really as Xu Wen said, if he refuses to agree, then the Mi family will not be able to eat and walk around, once he enters the county government and is investigated, he is not originally from Mi Zheng, who came here many years ago and is afraid that his identity is difficult to explain. If he is really charged with colluding and rebelling privately, it will be difficult to clear up, and it will be difficult to argue, and the lives of nearly ten members of the Mi family are in Mi'er's choice at this time.

Mi'er didn't reply, Mitu kept persuading Mi'er, begging Mi'er to keep Mi'er's family, Mi'er was in a dilemma, angry, anxious, and helpless to keep wandering.

Mi'er locked herself in the house, constantly thinking about how she could ignore her family at this moment, and at night, Mi'er tossed and turned, and stayed awake all night.

At dawn, it suddenly occurred to me that I went to beg Xu Wen to change his mind. So he told Xiaochan that he was going to find Xu Wen, Xiaochan listened, worried about Mi'er, and decided to go with Mi'er to protect Mi'er, so the two tacitly went to the county magistrate's mansion.

At noon, the two returned to the Mi family courtyard angrily, Xu Wen was willing to listen to Mi'er's plea and build yì, the more Mi'er was like this, the more interested he became, he had to marry Mi'er, the so-called light yì can get, how can there be something challenging and unpleasant to get so fascinating.

Mi'er, who returned to the Mi family courtyard, was reluctant to give up, and sat silently on the bed in the room, thinking for a long time. In the evening, Mi'er, who had lost all hopes, finally made up her mind and decided that she could not be selfish and agreed to her marriage. After Mitu found out, his heart, which had been hanging for a day and a night, finally settled down, and he went back to his room to sleep with peace of mind.

Mi Zheng and Zhenyu learned of Mi'er's decision, and they knew that their daughter just didn't want to involve the family, but Mi'er, who had always avoided marriage, was so reluctant to marry Xu Wen, would she be happy in this life, wouldn't she be in a cage.

The sky was dark, Mi was discussing and tangled with Zhenyu in his room, the night was getting deeper, Xiaochan, who lived next door to Mi'er, came to Mi'er's room and knocked on the door, "Mi'er, are you sleeping?" Xiaochan asked in a low voice.

Mi'er opened the door, Xiaochan entered the house, Mi'er asked, "Sister Chan, it's late at night, what's the matter with me?" ”

Xiaochan clasped Mi'er's hand and said: "Mi'er, I know that you are forced to agree, if you really marry in the past, this life will be painful, and we will not be happy, but I envy the preferential treatment of the county government, it is better to let me marry on your behalf, you run away quickly." ”

Mi Er said: "Sister Chan, what are you talking about, it's obviously my own business, how can it be replaced by you, I don't know who you are for so many years since I was a child, you are not a person who is greedy for enjoyment, how can you envy those preferential treatment." Besides, you went over instead of me, after Xu Wen found out that you were not me, how could I let you and my Mi family go, don't worry about me, I have been taken care of by you for so many years, and I feel that it is an honor in this life. ”

"No, no, no, this is all as it should be, the Mi family is kind to me, and Xiaochan is difficult to repay in this life. I was an orphan, begging everywhere for a living, and was abducted and trafficked to the Qinglou as a child laborer, if it wasn't for Master Mi to save me ten years ago, I'm afraid that today I would have been reduced to the dust, and I would have to spend my life in pain in that brothel. Xiao Chan said gratefully, tears already moistened from the corners of her eyes.

Mi'er comforted: "Why mention the sad things in the past, people always have times when they are in trouble, now it is smooth and happy, and it is uncertain where you are tomorrow, Daddy should save you, why should you be angry." Besides, you have done your best in the Mi family for ten years, and you have already been a member of the Mi family, what else are you talking about to repay your kindness, don't you see it!? ”

Xiaochan saw Mi Er say this, and said even more meaningfully: "Since I am already a member of the Mi family, I can't ignore your happiness in this life, Xu Wen's person is insidious and vicious, forgetful, and he is definitely not a person who can be trusted for life, how can I ignore worrying about your reason." ”
