Chapter 244: Paying back debts is a matter of course
Ji Xiaohan was still protecting the little princess and didn't pay much attention to the farce downstairs. However, seeing that the little princess was enjoying it, he raised his hand and called Xiaowu over, asking her to move a small table and cakes over. He really treated the farce downstairs as a play.
Su Wanyan was twisting a piece of cake in her hand, eating while stretching her head to look. However, she was petite, so she didn't notice it when she was standing by the window. But now that she sat down, she couldn't see it even if she stretched her neck as far as possible.
Seeing this, Ji Xiaohan suppressed his laughter. He first fed the little princess a sip of tea, then naturally lifted her up and held her on his lap, "This way you can see it."
Su Wanyan's face turned red with embarrassment. When Xiao Wu turned his head away silently, she gritted her teeth and pinched the soft flesh on the man's waist. She sat there angrily, muttering, "I'm still young. I can still grow taller in the future."
Ji Xiaohan endured the pain and responded, "Of course, the princess still has a lot of room for growth."
The farce downstairs has evolved to the point where everyone keeps trying to persuade them, but Sheng Miaoyi insists on having her own way. As long as Xiao Yi doesn't give in, she will kill herself. Those who originally disliked Sheng Miaoyi have also become biased. No matter what, someone has died, who can care about anything else?
So, they all went to persuade the people in Yuan's mansion, especially the three concubines, but they were inexplicably met with a lot of cold stares.
If this goes on, things will only get worse. The three concubines looked at each other and decided that they had to cut the Gordian knot and get out of this situation as soon as possible.
"Oh, Miss Miaoyi, you are so stupid. Your indenture is in that brother's hands. Even if he doesn't want you, you will still follow him. Put down the knife quickly."
"That's right, what are you afraid of? Just follow wherever your indenture is. Are you stupid?"
"Yeah, you're the boss, you should be helping him to blackmail others, why are you blaming us? You're the most popular girl, how could you be so stupid?"
Sheng Miaoyi was persuaded by everyone, and she didn't know what words touched her. The hand holding the knife actually loosened slowly. The knife was about to leave the thin white neck, and everyone's hanging hearts also slowly relaxed.
At this moment, someone in the crowd scoffed and whispered, "He's still a fool. In this situation, we have to resolve the IOU issue, right? Are we going to keep it in the Yuan family's hands and be blackmailed every day?"
The voice was neither loud nor soft, just loud enough for everyone to hear. So, the knife that had just barely left his neck was thrust back tightly. "Yes, Brother Yi, I am yours in life and yours in death. You can't ignore me. You have to help me pay back the money I owe you!"
When the three concubines heard this, they were shocked. "Oh! Who is this kind person who is speaking up for us? There is such a reasonable person!"
So I joined in, "Yes, Miss Miaoyi is yours. It's only natural to pay back the debt. She's yours, so you have to help her pay it back!"
"That's right, you have to take responsibility for the money your woman owes you. Pay it back now!"
"Yes, pay back the money!"
For a time, public opinion changed, and the person who was blamed and indignant by everyone became Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi was so angry that his face turned red and he raised his fist as big as a steamed bun, but the onlookers at the scene were not afraid at all and continued to accuse him.
Finally, under the persuasion of his brothers, Xiao Yi reluctantly asked, "If I pay it back for her, will you stop bothering her?"
