Chapter 874 - 189: Daughter for Son_2
So, no matter what Pei Qin said, Xiao Yi also pleaded, but Xiao Guangbi stubbornly refused to relent, insisting that Xiao Yi stay in Yuanyang County with Pei Qin.
Pei Qin watched him, unsure if he was serious, and still let Xiao Yi stay on, continuing to trust her with a joyful expression, and ordered the kitchen to prepare several grand dishes to treat Xiao Guangbi.
Xiao Guangbi, seeing that Pei Qin did not ask many questions, took the initiative to say, "The Wang Mansion has suffered some business losses due to major setbacks. Originally, I assigned a steward, and after receiving your letter of apology, I decided to step out."
Pei Qian, standing by, listened with a gloomy, chilling gaze. It’s possible that he himself had orchestrated the kidnapping of Xiao Yi, to frame them and then demand Silver! He had already been given a gold mine, which he sold off profitably, yet still he wanted to extort Silver from them!?
Pei Qin pretended not to understand him. As soon as he mentioned it, she immediately apologized and asked him to take Xiao Yi away. Now mother is no longer serving! If you have the guts and courage, take him away yourself! If you want to leave him here, just behave!
Xiao Guangbi soon realized that Pei Qin spoke smoothly and indeed had the shrewd nature of a petty trader, which greatly annoyed him. He thought about Mo Heng, who hesitated for a long time before reluctantly offering the gold mine. Pei Qin, having a humble commoner mindset and born in a village, valued money even more. Thus, he decided not to broach the topic further; since he had already sent a letter to Mo Heng, after his departure, Pei Qin would also send a letter to Mo Heng. Hence, his purpose for making this detour was achieved.
Xiao Yi, seeing that his stay had become a fait accompli, glared with reddened eyes, tightly pursed lips, and a strained little face, feeling extremely reluctant and aggrieved.
Xiao Guangbi brought him several boxes of things, food, utilities, garments, and toys. Xiao Yi was not interested at all, he just didn’t want to stay.
