Having been involved in the workplace in his previous life, Situ Xi had a good eye for understanding people.

It is said that people have aura and temperament. When a person's habits, upbringing, knowledge, experience, mood, appearance and many other factors are gathered together and expressed, a vague concept called temperament will be formed at the moment.

Others can have a rough perception of your current state at a glance.

The third lady, Mi, gave him an erratic feeling. The last time he saw her, she was startled and felt a little afraid of him, but now she seemed quite calm, and there was a slight hint of deliberately provoking him in her words, which was really a bit...

weird.

"Xi'er, I was really rude when I sent you a letter last time. There are some bad rumors about you. My aunt has never been in contact with you before, so she easily believed the rumors. Last time I saw you speaking suddenly, I was a little panicked.

Don't be surprised." Mrs. Mi was enjoying the massage from the maid on the recliner. There was no etiquette in talking to others with her eyes closed, but the words she said were quite thoughtful.

"Why did you come to us?" Zhongli's voice was a little cold. Before Situ Xi could reply, he directly asked the so-called elder in front of him coldly.

"Shen'er, you are still so impetuous in your behavior. What can happen to my aunt? There are not many juniors in the house, not to mention you are the only woman. My aunt just wants to see you."

Hearing this, Situ Xi frowned. Zhongli was an only daughter. So even if she was a concubine, she wouldn't be in trouble, right?

"If nothing happens, we'll leave. We have to pay my respects to the aunt later." Not wanting to stay here for a moment, Zhongli stepped forward and grabbed Situ Xi's sleeves and gently tugged on them.

"Wait a minute, my aunt does have something she wants to talk to you about alone."

Hearing that Zhongli Min was in a hurry to leave, Mi Shi slowly sat up from the bench, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand and wiped the water marks on her face. When she looked up, she found that Zhongli Min was still covering his face with a veil.

"Eh? You obviously have an enviable pretty face, why do you still wear a hat in the house? Put the hat away so that my aunt can see if she has become more beautiful recently, tsk,

A pretty face is such a good thing.”

"Third Madam, this is not what an elder should say to his niece." Hearing her frivolous words, Situ Xi took a few steps and came to Zhong Lixin, looked directly at the woman in front of him, and said with a lazy expression

The tone of voice responded to Mi's sentence.

Being contradicted by Situ Xi, the third lady was not annoyed at all. Instead, she looked at Zhongli Min with a smile.

"You see, this is the advantage of being good-looking."

"Ms. sir, it's okay. If she wants to see it, let her see it."

While Zhongli was talking, he lifted up the gauze brim above his head and took off his curtain hat.

The light breeze blew the veil of the curtain into a mess, and Zhongli's beautiful short hair, which he could barely hold up his neck, was exposed in front of everyone.

Her pupils shrank, and Mi's expression finally changed. Looking at Zhong Lixin's appearance at this moment, she was no longer indifferent and took a few steps forward hastily, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"You, you...your hair, what's going on!"

After stroking his short temples with his hands, Zhongli looked at Mi with surprise, without any fear in his eyes.

"That's my answer."

Mi's face was gloomy, anger brewing in her heart. She took two steps closer and stared at Zhongli Min again. Her voice was filled with anger, and she pointed at her and asked tremblingly:

"You unfilial son, how dare you! Do you know what this means?"

"It's natural to be calm." Zhongli's voice sounded quite calm.

"How do you know? You are confused! If outsiders find out, my Duke Huaiming will lose all face." Mi's voice was hoarse, and the air pressure around her seemed to be a little lower.

"If you really cared about your father's face, how could your aunt come to me in private to discuss something that is not in line with etiquette?"

"You!" Mi Shi hesitated. Some of the content cannot be discussed in public. It would not be good for everyone to say it.

Looking at Zhongli angrily, Mi couldn't suppress her anger, but she didn't dare to let it happen to her. Without any warning, she suddenly kicked over the bench on the ground.

"Ah!" The maid closest to the chair screamed out in shock, and quickly covered her mouth to suppress her voice. Unexpectedly, she accidentally knocked over the water basin behind Mi, and suddenly water splashed,

The little maid screamed again, quickly stepped aside, lowered her head and trembled, and kowtowed to the ground to admit her mistake.

"Madam, forgive me, madam, forgive me! I didn't do it on purpose!"

The splashing water splashed onto Mi's skirt, and a basin of clear water lit up the anger in Mi's chest like fire. She looked at the maid, walked over quickly, and lifted her hair, mercilessly.

The slap hit her face with a whistling sound.

"Ah!" There was another cry of pain, and the other maid was trembling all over and dared not speak.

This man turned out to be so irritable, and Situ Xi did not expect the sudden scene in front of him.

The third lady seemed to be going crazy. She made a series of noises, and the tables, chairs and benches in the courtyard were instantly overturned by her.

"Auntie, we came back today not to see you show off your power. If nothing happens, we will leave." Facing this scene, Zhongli Min seemed very indifferent. She looked at everything in front of her coldly. Obviously she was not the first

I saw this woman's angry side for the first time.

Zhongli's voice pulled Mi back from her frenzy. When she finished venting, she suddenly turned back to Zhongli and sneered:

"Oh, you and your mother are just the same. The biggest stain in my life is that I insisted on protecting your mother."

As soon as he said this, Zhongli's face was filled with shock. Qingyu on the side held the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands, and his teeth were about to bite the corners of his thin mouth to bleed. With hope, the little girl turned her eyes to Situ just now.

Xi stood there, hoping that he would speak out to protect his young lady.

But after looking around, Qingyu suddenly found that her uncle who was standing here just now had disappeared. She gritted her silver teeth again and chose to speak out on her own.

"You...you're talking nonsense!"

A few short words, without any offense at all, but they seemed to consume all the energy of Qingyu.

A slight voice sounded in the depressing courtyard. Zhongli cast his eyes towards Qingyu. Mi was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed angrily:

"Okay! Min'er, it seems that I haven't been home for a long time. You, a maid, dare to contradict me. Have you forgotten your identity? Your master doesn't know etiquette. It seems that my aunt is here to discipline her."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mi Shi lifted up a stool beside her and ran towards Qingyu angrily. She had a sudden attack, and Zhongli was stunned and had no time to stop her. Qingyu saw the woman carrying a stool rushing towards her.

She was also frightened and could not move. In desperation, she had to close her eyes suddenly and protect her head with her hands.

"Qingyu, get away quickly!" Zhongli yelled anxiously.

However, what was unexpected was that Situ Xi had already stood between Qingyu and Mi. Mi didn't realize it until she was so emotional, but after seeing Situ Xi, she hurriedly tried to stop, but something hit her feet.

A trip.

At this moment, something unexpected happened.

The third lady's calf was blocked like this, and she couldn't stand still. She screamed loudly at the top of her throat, and the stool in her hand was thrown into the air. Her body swayed and she couldn't steady herself.

The flying stool once again blocked her left foot, and she finally fell down. Her head hit the water jar beside the wall. In an instant, her head was bruised and bloody. The jar also fell to the ground, and the blood accumulated in the jar.

The rainwater flowed away together, and there was another scream that could pierce the space. She lay motionless on the ground, and there was no more sound.

At this moment, time and space seemed to have frozen.
