Qi Lao appeared in the inner room at the right time to receive him.

He saw two women coming from the Xue family at a glance, and felt a little strange. No matter which generation the Xue family came from, there was no shortage of women. Why did men rarely come to Ye Mansion?

However, he did not ask, but respectfully greeted the Xue family to come in.

After the Xue family members entered the door, they first looked around and then sat down.

"Is this Mr. Qi?" The younger woman looked at Mr. Qi with a kind and gentle smile, "I am Aunt Qiu from the third room of the Xue family."

She introduced herself with a smile, then looked at the arrogant older woman beside her and introduced: "This is Mrs. Cui, the second wife."

Mr. Qi smiled and said, "You two are welcome."

Seeing that the two people were so polite, he felt a little confused. It was clear that the two families had been having a lot of trouble this month, but the two people who came this time acted as if nothing had happened.

If he hadn't seen with his own eyes how the Xue family was acting hysterically, he would have believed that the friendship between the two families still existed.

Mrs. Cui then showed a three-pointed smile, "The head of the Xue family is busy with affairs and can't get away. He neglected Ye Mansion. I hope he won't take offense. I came to Ye Mansion on the order of my master. This is what he gave to Ye Mansion."

It’s a small gift, but please accept it.”

As she spoke, she took a brocade box from the maid beside her and placed it on the table.

The brocade box was opened, and a luxurious and shining bracelet and several strings of strange jade beads appeared in front of everyone.

Mrs. Cui explained proudly: "This bracelet was specially customized by our master for the eldest lady. It is carved from fine mutton-fat jade and jadeite. Although it is not high in value, it is exquisite and elegant. This pair of bracelets

It’s most appropriate to give it to the eldest lady. My master said that these things are just a token of affection, and I hope the eldest lady won’t dislike them.”

"This..." Qi Lao Qi Lao raised his eyebrows slightly. He knew that the Xue family was rich and had some wealth, so it stands to reason that he should act boldly.

What's funny is that in the past ten years, the Xue family has been extremely scrutinizing the Ye Mansion and only wanted to take benefits. It has never been like this.

Mrs. Cui saw the surprise in Mr. Qi's eyes and couldn't help but cover her mouth and sneer, "Does Mr. Qi think these things are not valuable?"

Qi Lao laughed quickly and said: "How could it be possible? This bracelet and jade beads are indeed precious, but..." He deliberately prolonged his voice and said with a righteous look on his face: "These things are too precious, I really don't dare to

Accept it for the young lady and ask Mrs. Cui to take it back."

The smile on Mrs. Cui's face froze for a moment, and then she said: "How can this be done? The eldest lady is Huai Dan's biological daughter. Our Xue family can still afford this small gift."

As she spoke, she asked the maid beside her to take out several purses from her waist and put them into Mr. Qi's hands one by one.

"Mr. Qi, take it, otherwise we won't be able to deal with our master when we go back!" As she said this, she winked at Aunt Qiu and asked the people around her to quickly put the purse into Mr. Qi's hand.

.

Aunt Qiu slapped the fan in her hand and stepped forward reluctantly.

"Don't refuse, Mr. Qi. We came here with good intentions. It would be bad if the eldest lady misunderstood our Xue family because of what happened before. Our Xue family also takes a fancy to..."

Aunt Qiu hesitated at this point, with a friendly smile on her face.

Qi Lao's expression remained unchanged, and he thought to himself: What do you fancy? What qualities of the Ye Mansion are worthy of them?

However, he couldn't say such words on the spot, lest he would make the other party unable to step down.

Thinking of this, Mr. Qi pretended not to care much and accepted the purse, and said seriously: "Madam, you are serious. From what Aunt Qiu said, you two must have something to discuss when you come here, right? I don't know if Madam has anything to do.

? You might as well say it bluntly, if I can help, I will definitely lend my all."

What he said was very beautiful. He neither said that he could help the Xue family nor boasted about it. He only said that if you can help, just ask, but he did not promise that he would definitely help.

"hehe......"

Aunt Qiu laughed dryly a few times and said nothing.

Mrs. Cui really didn't like the old man's slickness, but in this situation, she had nothing to do, otherwise it would appear that she was ignorant, so she had to endure it, squeezed out a smile and said: "I really need to trouble Mr. Qi about this matter.

Our Xue family wants to marry Miss Xiyun."

When Mr. Qi heard this, his face suddenly darkened, "I wonder why the Xue family suddenly thought of asking to marry Miss Xiyun? Do you think there is something special about Miss Xiyun?"

"This is what my master means. My master is full of praise for Miss Xiyun's appearance and virtue. In addition, coupled with the previous misunderstanding like Tong Laoliu, he is afraid that this matter will delay Miss Xiyun, so..."

Mrs. Cui didn't finish her words, but the meaning was already obvious.

Qi Lao couldn't help but be angry, "Forgive me for being ignorant, but I don't know who Madam asked to marry Xiyun?"

Aunt Qiu smiled with a flattering look on her face, "Don't you know, Mr. Qi? Xiyun and Tong Laoliu already have some physical intimacy, so naturally she married him..."

Qi Lao's eyes suddenly shrank. He never expected that the Xue family would actually make such a ridiculous suggestion.

How could the most outstanding maid in the Ye family get married to a lowly gangster? The Xue family lost their face?

Not only Mr. Qi, but also the servants of the Ye Mansion sitting nearby opened their eyes in shock and couldn't believe it.

Qi Lao slapped the table and stood up, saying angrily: "What do you Xue family mean by wanting Xiyun to marry that Tong Laoliu and be ruined?!"

"No, no." Aunt Qiu was startled by Mr. Qi's sudden anger and quickly waved her hands to deny, "My master also thought that although Tong Laoliu was useless, it was a pity that he was already involved with Miss Xiyun. Miss Xiyun

It's like a fairy descended to earth, but now her reputation is not very good... Instead of taking advantage of those lowly embryos, it would be better for her to marry Tong Laoliu in a glorious way. She can get our care in the Xue family, and it can be regarded as a good thing for our Xue family.

A favor from Ye Mansion."

Aunt Qiu spoke eloquently and seemed to be justified.

If someone who didn't know the inside story heard these words, they would probably be moved by her sincerity and consideration.

"Forgive me for speaking frankly, but the way Mr. Xue family behaves is a bit overwhelming, isn't it? Xiyun is my wife's eldest maid, how can I allow others to trample on her at will?"

Mr. Qi's attitude was very firm. It didn't look like he was discussing anything at all, but more like he was venting his anger on someone.

"This... Mr. Qi doesn't know something. Tong Laoliu's relatives died early, and he has always been orphaned and widowed. Now their family has encountered great changes, and they just want to live a good life. Furthermore, he is in the Xue family

Under my nose, I am determined not to do anything random."

Mrs. Cui glanced at the purse that Mr. Qi had accepted calmly, and then continued: "It just so happens that Miss Xiyun is in such a difficult situation, which is pitiful. My husband has no choice but to do this."

Qi Lao snorted coldly, "You will make excuses for yourselves. If the Xue family really has a conscience, why don't they drive Tong Laoliu out of the house? Instead, let him stay in the Xue house. Not only does this fail to replace Xi

Yun took revenge and harmed Xue Mansion's reputation!"

Mrs. Cui was choked to death. She didn't expect that this old man was so difficult to deal with, but he didn't buy it at all. He looked like he was going to make this matter a big deal. She hurriedly said: "Qi Lao, calm down, we are coming here this time."
