After eating a full meal, Lin Miao lay on her soft couch and fanned herself.

They are neglected in this small courtyard, but the sun is never late.As soon as noon arrived, the sun outside became hotter and the temperature was stifling.The monthly prescription is gone, and the ice that should be given to relieve the heat as usual will naturally be given away.

Bi Ru was standing by the closet and arranging their luggage. When Lin Miao said she was leaving, she was overjoyed, and the uneasiness and fear that had accumulated in her heart for a long time dissipated a lot.

Lin Miao closed her eyes and thought about Chen Ning and Xie Yan.There was a riot at the border a few years ago, and Chen Ning is currently inspecting the fief, so he is not in the mansion for the time being.In fact, Xie Yan is not only in charge of the internal affairs of the mansion, but actually does a lot of business outside, holding more than half of the economic lifeline of the fief.Even if Chen Ning and him have no love, they still trust Xie Yan's talent, and they are more like monarchs and ministers.

According to the ending in the original book, Chen Ning also relied on the money earned by Xie Yan to develop and expand his military power, and then rebelled against his own brother and reorganized the entire country.However, Xie Yan was pushed to Jin as the eldest son of the Duke of Song, and finally returned to Shangjing as the heir, and wiped out Xie's family.

Lin Miao hadn't read the original text, so she didn't know how Xie Yan was treated in the Duke's mansion.But if you think about it, you can also know that a bastard who was only brought back from the outside at the age of six or seven would be at a loss in the face of a sudden identity change.At this time, if there is any external force to push him to blacken, it is reasonable for Xie Yan's psychological distortion in such a big family dispute.

In other words, Xie Yan is probably out of shape at this moment.Thinking of this, Lin Miao shuddered.

In terms of age, Lin Miao can naturally beat them both.However, he is very clear that in terms of experience and means, those two people can be better than him if they lose a single hair.

Playing with their minds is purely courting death, and it would be more realistic to say that Grandpa spared his life with tears in his eyes.

Lin Miao speeded up her fanning movements, but she couldn't get rid of the unbearable heat. When she was finally about to fall asleep, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house, and then someone stood at the door and listened. He asked, "Is anyone there?"

Lin Miao snored, Bi Ru hurried over and opened the door, "What's the matter?"

The person who came was Yuwen, the eldest girl who served Xie Yan, she was fair-skinned and tall, with a slight smile on her face: "I don't know if Mr. Lin is convenient at this time, Mr. Lin has something to do with the princess, Mr. Lin will go there."

When Xie Yan was mentioned, Bi Ru drew back her hand hanging by her side and grabbed the hem of her skirt, then looked back at Lin Miao, and then nodded: "Sister, please wait a moment."

Yuwen bowed her head with a smile.Her gaze fell inwards to the small round table, only seeing a few upside-down teacups, but nothing was missing.Yuwen remembered this in her heart, and then looked away.

Lin Miao didn't sleep deeply at first, but now she woke up because of their voices, and panic blew through her heart like a storm.He sat up suddenly, all kinds of possibilities flashed through his mind, but he couldn't think of any reason why Xie Yan came to him now.

Bi Ru hurried to the bed, bent down and picked up Lin Miao's shoes for him to put on.Lin Miao also hurriedly got up and went to bed, not even caring about the sweat on her forehead soaking her temples, not daring to delay for a moment.

After all, judging from his current situation, he might get an extra knife just because he was late.

Yuwen lowered her head halfway, she heard the sound of footsteps coming from her ears, and then she saw a pair of men's shoes.She then raised her eyes up, and saw Lin Miao frantically holding on to her belt, with a pair of peach blossom eyes and black pupils, naturally revealing a pitiful and lovely taste.Not to mention men, even women can't pick out a few of such colors, no wonder Jin Wang can take a fancy to it.

Yu Wen smiled at Lin Miao, and said politely, "Mr. Lin was disturbed for a nap, so Mr. Lao will accompany me to the Qingqiu Courtyard."

Lin Miao boldly asked Yuwen, "I don't know why the princess is looking for me?"

Yu Wen didn't reveal it, she just said: "Your Master will know when he goes."

Lin Miao thought to herself: "If you go, you'll know it's true. I'm afraid that if I go, I won't return."

Bi Ru wanted to follow, but Lin Miao refused.

Walking along the corridor, going up and down the steps, after half an hour of twists and turns, a quiet courtyard appeared in front of Lin Miao.In the yard, a few girls and women walked in and out at a low pace.

Such a slightly depressing atmosphere made Lin Miao, who was already nervous, even more uneasy, wondering if Xie Yan in the room was a monster with four hands and four legs.

Yuwen's footsteps stopped at the bottom of the steps, she turned her head to Lin Miao and said, "Young master, wait a moment."

As she spoke, she went up the steps first, opened the door curtain and entered the room. After about a dozen breaths, a round-faced little girl came out of the room and stretched her neck and said to Lin Miao, "Mr. Lin, my princess, please come in and talk." .”

Lin Miao tried his best to calm down. He stepped up the steps, bowed his head in front of the curtain and entered the room.

The season inside the house seems to be completely different from the outside. The cold air from the ice mirror is clear and pleasant, completely isolating the heat of midsummer outside.

But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Lin Miao, who only dared to lower his head, saw a pair of legs wearing black boots on the couch directly in front of him and the gold border of the robe hanging down the sides of the boots. No need to guess, it was Xie Yan. up.

Following the etiquette in his memory, Lin Miao saluted without saying a word, but he couldn't hold back when he spoke, stuttering a little: "See, I have seen the princess."

With this stutter, the whole room seemed to be quiet for two minutes.

Lin Miao just wanted to cry violently. He thought that he had never done anything wicked in his previous life, so why should he suffer like this now?

However, at the next moment, to Lin Miao's surprise, the seated Xie Yan said, "Well, sit down."

His voice was extremely gentle, not at all the cruel and cruel character that Lin Miao had imagined, which made Lin Miao boldly look up at Xie Yan while distracted.

Xie Yan was dressed in a black narrow-sleeved robe, with a white jade hair crown on his head. Although he was sitting, he was tall and tall. On the other hand, he had an extremely handsome face and an excellent bearing.

Lin Miao sat down next to her. Because of this first impression, she couldn't help but doubt the comments she saw.He has read a lot of books, and he knows that sometimes the comments of book friends will be exaggerated. Could it be that Xie Yan was also stigmatized by book reviews?

Lin Miao relaxed a little, but after seeing Lin Miao, another little steward who had been standing for a long time in the room raised his heart in his throat.

"Did Mr. Lin receive the monthly report that should be issued this month?" Xie Yan looked at Lin Miao, feeling overwhelmed.

Lin Miao subconsciously shook her head.

The steward standing in the room, surnamed Sun, is in charge of the monthly distribution of the Yingyingyanyan courtyards in the mansion. Lin Miao's courtyard does not distribute them, so naturally he is in charge.

"It's already halfway through this month, why are there still monthly reports in the courtyard that haven't been issued? I don't know where Guanshi Sun has used the withheld space?" Xie Yan shifted his gaze to Guanshi Sun, and Lin Miao was refreshed as soon as he opened his mouth. .

It turns out that I didn't ask myself to come here to find fault with myself and use a small knife to scratch his flesh, but to stand up for me!

Lin Miao looked at Xie Yan secretly from the corner of her eye, and now she felt that Xie Yan might not be so bad or cruel.

Guanshi Sun broke into a cold sweat, wondering how Xie Yan would know about this.Didn't the concubine always ignore things in the backyard, let alone take care of them?Besides, before Lin Miao was self-willed and rude, shouldn't the concubine annoy him long ago?

Taking a step back, there were not many monthly cases in Lin Miao's yard. Steward Sun thought that it would not be a big deal even if Xie Yan found out, so he just said a few words and passed.

On weekdays, he took care of these things, and the aunts in the backyard didn't say anything, even those who were favored would greet him with a smile, which made Steward Sun feel more at ease.However, Lin Miao, who obviously has no support but is still full of ignorance, doesn't take himself seriously.Only then did he want to let Lin Miao suffer and learn some lessons, so that he would know that this palace is not outside, and there are many rules.

What Sun Guanshi thought was not wrong, Xie Yan really didn't care about the backyard, and he really didn't like Lin Miao, and he didn't pay attention to those monthly regulations.

However, the point is not how much Steward Sun has withheld, it is that he has overlooked the master Xie Yan in his eyes, pretending to be clever and self-defeating.

Steward Sun faltered and couldn't say a whole sentence, the sweat on his forehead was already dripping down his cheeks.

"Sun Guanshi has a bad tongue?" Xie Yan's eyes fell on Sun Guanshi's body, and his eyes were cold.Although the words are cryptic, but the meaning is clear, and the tongue is not smooth, so cut it off.

Lin Miao shrank her neck belatedly, her eyes landed on her shoe, and she didn't dare to wander around anymore.

Steward Sun was also taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No, then, those confiscated monthly slaves are all stored in the warehouse. I thought they would send them to Mr. Lin in a few days."

Lin Miao looked like a wooden man on the surface, but he felt very relieved in his heart.This bad thing made me hungry, and now I deserve it!

Xie Yan dealt with things quickly, no more words, just raised his fingertips upwards: "The following offenders will be punished with thirty sticks, and they will be expelled from the house."

As soon as his words fell, two guards came in outside and pulled the pale-faced Steward Sun out.It didn't take a while for screams to be heard from the yard, but it was only a cry, and soon turned into a low whimper, as if something had been stuffed into his mouth.

It's just that the sobbing sounded in his ears, which made Lin Miao feel terrified and uncomfortable.

Xie Yan got up and ignored him, and went straight into the inner room.It was Yu Wen who went up to see the guests off, as if she hadn't heard the sound from outside at all, she still smiled softly at Lin Miao and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry to bother you, someone will deliver this month's monthly report to you in a while. In the yard."

Lin Miao nodded and thanked Yu Wen.Going outside the house, I saw Guanshi Sun who was still standing next to him, his buttocks were bleeding from the beating, his face was pale and half fainted, and he probably lost half of his life.

In Lin Miao's sight, Steward Sun's face changed and overlapped with his face for a while, as if Lin Miao saw his end in the near future.

He turned his back and walked to the door as steadily as possible, and waited until there was no one else before running wildly for the rest of his life.

Xie Yan is really not human!
