Chapter 222 Hunger Strike

Xu Qingshan suddenly became anxious, and hurried forward with a puzzled look in his eyes: "Mother, when did I ever say that I looked down on cousin Liu Hong?"

"In that case, then you can take cousin Liu Hong in as well. This way, she will have a good place to go. Let Gu Yuanniang be the principal wife and Liu Hong be the concubine. This is already my biggest concession."

After she finished speaking, the woman sat up straight. Seeing this, Mr. Xu, who was standing beside her, wanted to speak, but was rebuked by the woman's look.

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao chuckled twice: "Haha, I was wondering why Madam Zhang kicked us out. It turns out that she thought my Liu Niang was easy to bully. Although Liu Niang had been married before, she would never share a husband with anyone else."

Xu Miaomiao spoke seriously, and her stern eyes didn't give the other party any chance.

Seeing this, Xu Qingshan immediately looked at Liu Niang with a pleading look in his eyes. He couldn't disobey his parents, so he could only feel guilty towards Liu Niang: "Liu, Liu Niang."

There was some pleading in Xu Qingshan's eyes, but Gu Yuanniang on the opposite side turned a blind eye and kept her head down in silence. When she raised her head again, Gu Yuanniang's eyes were full of tears, but there was a smile on the corners of her mouth: "Miao Miao is right. Although I, Gu Yuanniang, have been married, I will never share a husband with someone else again. Since Madam Zhang does not agree, I will pretend that I have never been here for this marriage."

Seeing that Gu Yuanniang was about to leave, Xu Qingshan immediately took action and grabbed Gu Yuanniang.

"Mr. Xu, I think I am not destined to be with you in this life. Let's say goodbye now."

Gu Yuanniang wanted to pull her hand away, but the man held it too tightly. The woman on the upper floor saw this and immediately shouted, "Qingshan, let go."

Seeing Madam Zhang speak, Xu Qingshan didn't dare to disobey anymore. He could only slowly loosen his hand and let Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang leave.

When Liu Hong, who was crying nearby, saw this scene, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily. She gently covered her eyes with a handkerchief so that no one else could notice. However, her little thoughts were seen through by Xu Miaomiao.

"Mr. Xu, from today onwards, the department store no longer welcomes you, and the Song Mansion is even more so. Let's end it here!"

After saying that, Xu Miaomiao took Gu Yuanniang away. After getting on the carriage, Gu Yuanniang's shaking shoulders could no longer stop. She leaned on Xu Miaomiao's shoulder and began to cry. Her tears wet Xu Miaomiao's clothes, which made Xu Miaomiao feel extremely distressed.

I thought Xu Qingshan was a good man, but in the end he still made Liu Niang sad. To be honest, it was also her fault. If she hadn't wanted to match Xu Qingshan and Gu Yuanniang, Liu Niang wouldn't be so heartbroken now.

"Without him, there will naturally be thousands and thousands of good men in this capital."

Xu Miaomiao calmed Gu Yuanniang down and said, "Sixth Mother, don't worry. I will definitely find a good home for you."

Gu Yuanniang finally stopped crying, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said solemnly: "Perhaps people like me are suitable to live out their lives alone, Miaomiao, you don't have to worry about these things for me. What is destined to happen will happen, and what is not destined to happen should not be forced. Now that things have come to this, let everything go with the flow."

When Xu Miaomiao heard her say this, she felt a little distressed. She tucked the strands of hair behind his ears, then wiped the tears from her face and sighed helplessly.

After Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang left, Xu Qingshan immediately turned his gaze to Madam Zhang, and immediately said, "Mother, didn't we agree before? Didn't you also agree that I could marry Liu Niang? Why are you doing this now?"

Madam Zhang took a sip of tea slowly, looked at Liu Hong beside her, and continued, "Originally, I wanted you to marry Hong'er, but Gu Yuanniang showed up halfway, and she was a second wife. That's fine, but she also brought a burden with her. No matter how you look at it, my Xu family is a noble family. How can we marry such a woman as the main wife? Today's excuses are just to make her give up. Now, she has rejected this marriage, which can be regarded as a noble character."

Xu Qingshan felt hopeless and staggered back two steps: "Mother is determined to make me marry my cousin."

"Yes!" When Madam Zhang heard what he said, she slapped the table angrily, stood up immediately, and glared at Xu Qingshan, her eyes no longer friendly: "What's wrong with Hong'er? Compared to that girl, she is more gentle and virtuous, and she won't show her face outside and lose face for her husband's family. I feel more at ease with a daughter-in-law like Hong'er."

Xu Qingshan laughed weakly twice, his eyes were firmer than ever before, he looked at the woman and slowly said: "Mother, I'm sorry I can't obey your order this time, I will not marry my cousin, absolutely not!"

Xu Qingshan ran out like a madman, leaving three people alone in the hall.

When Liu Hong heard Xu Qingshan say this, her heart suddenly turned red and her eyes began to sob again. She covered her eyes with a handkerchief and looked so pitiful.

When Mrs. Zhang saw this, she quickly walked over to Liu Hong and comforted her: "Hong'er, don't cry, don't be sad. I know my son best. He is just having a temper tantrum. Don't worry, your marriage will be successful."

Hearing Madam Zhang's assurance, Liu Hong felt relieved and leaned on Madam Zhang with peace of mind.

Seeing this, Mr. Xu, who was standing by, shook his head helplessly and looked at his book again.

When Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang returned home, Song Weiwei was still a little confused, so when she saw them, she started beating the gongs and drums: "They're getting engaged, they're getting engaged!"

The noisy noise made Gu Yuanniang, who was already irritated, frown even more, and she ran straight back into the house.

Seeing this, Song Weiwei thought she had done something wrong and looked at Xu Miaomiao in confusion. Xu Miaomiao then told Song Weiwei everything that had happened today.

Hearing this, she became even more anxious: "How can this be? You said it well at the beginning, but now you want to go back on your word. Do you think our family is easy to bully?"

After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Song Weiwei immediately rushed to Xu's house to confront everyone.

Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao quickly stopped the man and said, "Don't be impulsive. This matter still depends on what Mr. Xu does."

Xu Miaomiao calmly analyzed: "I asked two young men to guard the door of Xu's house and pass on the news to us. Although Xu Qingshan respects and honors his parents, he is not a heartless person. I don't believe he will abandon Liu Niang like this."

After receiving the order, the two Xiao Si immediately went to guard the door of Xu's house.

It was not until the evening that he hurried back and said, "Madam, Mr. Xu is on a hunger strike and has not eaten for a day and a night."
