Chapter 452 Conversation

At this point, Gu Yuanniang took a deep breath, raised her fingertips and patted Xu Miaomiao's hand, and slowly said: "Let me do it alone this time."

Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao slowly withdrew her hand and looked back at Madam Zhang in the room. She said nothing, but whispered in Gu Yuanniang's ear as she passed by her: "If there is any problem, call me and I will be there as soon as possible."

When Gu Yuan's mother heard this, she looked at Xu Miaomiao with relief, nodded at him, and then walked into the house. Looking at her leaving, Xu Miaomiao sighed. After all, he couldn't go to the department store today, so he went to the backyard to see what Erbao and Xiaobao were doing.

The backyard is also relatively close to the main house. As long as Gu Yuanniang needs him, he can appear here in time. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao sighed, turned around and left. As soon as Gu Yuanniang stepped into the house, Madam Zhang looked at her with a cold face and said with dissatisfaction.

"Why? Now you want me, the mother-in-law, to come to you, the daughter-in-law. Don't you know that you should still pay your respects to me?"

When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she immediately bowed and said respectfully in front of Madam Zhang: "It is indeed not my fault in this matter. I hope mother will forgive me."

Madam Zhang looked at Gu Yuanniang's well-behaved appearance, and then she slowly relaxed her tightly furrowed brows. She looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Okay, I also know your difficulties. Now that you have lost your child, you are naturally unhappy. But do you know why I came here today?"

Mrs. Zhang took the initiative to speak.

Gu Yuanniang nodded and said, "I did not do a good job last night. I hope mother and Madam Liu will not be angry."

When Liu Juan heard this, she took up the handkerchief in her hand and cried even harder. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang frowned subconsciously, but Madam Zhang said dissatisfiedly: "Okay, there are no outsiders here, who are you pretending for?"

Hearing what Madam Zhang said, Liu Juan immediately sobbed and stopped crying, while Madam Zhang looked at Gu Yuanniang in front of her and said earnestly, "I know you don't want to do this, and Qingshan naturally doesn't want to do it either, but what can I do? The Xu family only has them as their only child. Although we are a side branch, we can't just end up like him without any descendants. We in the Xu family must have our own bloodline after all."

"Please have pity on me as a mother and help me. Qingshan just won't listen to what I say now. I think you are the only one who can listen to me. Go and talk to him. He will definitely not reject your opinion."

Gu Yuanniang took the initiative to speak: "Mother is talking about this matter, I will naturally have a good talk with her."

Hearing that Gu Yuanniang had agreed, Madam Zhang finally breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Gu Yuanniang with a kind look on her face, "Alright, I just want you to be here for some leisure time. I promise you, as long as Liu Juan gets pregnant, I will immediately take Liu Juan back to the capital, stay away from you, and never come here to bother you again, okay?"

Hearing what Madam Liu said, Gu Yuanniang immediately added, "My husband and I are very happy to have you visit us, so how could we feel bored?"

Madam Zhang heard this and waved her hands helplessly: "Alright, I'm old, and it's time to stop annoying people. I know myself very well. As long as my Xu family has an heir, I don't care whether this son recognizes me in the future or not. I have nothing to say."

After hearing what Aunt Zhang said, Gu Yuanniang didn't know how to refute her and nodded slightly at her. Aunt Zhang looked at the sky and felt that it was getting late, so she turned and left, leaving only Liu Juan and Gu Yueniang here.

In the room, Liu Juan stepped forward, took Gu Yuanniang's hand and said, "Sister, I was wrong about what I did yesterday, but I was also humiliated yesterday. I have never been so wronged since I was a child. I feel really bad, and I vented all my anger on you. Please don't be angry with me, sister."

Gu Yuanniang nodded, but took her hand back from Liu Juan's hand: "I am not angry with you, but now we have done what we should do, and give birth to this child of the Xu family as soon as possible, then everything will be fine."

Gu Yuanniang spoke, and Liu Juan nodded when she heard this, her eyes full of tears and she looked pitiful, but her fists were clenched even tighter. Why was she just a tool for giving birth to children? From what Madam Zhang said today, it seemed that she was not going to give her even the status of a concubine. Although he was bought by Madam Zhang, he could not be bullied like this. She must make those who humiliated her today pay the price.

Liu Juan thought secretly in her heart, but Gu Yuanniang did not see her gloomy look. Instead, she turned and left, always thinking about having a good talk with Xu Qingshan after he came back tonight.

Xu Qingshan seemed to be avoiding Gu Yuanniang on purpose. It was already dark, but no one was seen. Gu Yuanniang was staring at the dishes in front of her in a daze. Xu Miaomiao saw this, slapped the table, stood up unsatisfied, looked at her and said, "Now it's all right. Why are you being treated like a nobody? It was clearly Madam Zhang who forced you to do this, and Xu Qingshan still dared to be so disgruntled with you? He's not coming back. I'm going to find someone to bring him back now."

When Xu Miaomiao said this, Gu Yuanniang pulled her back, shook her head and said, "The relationship between Qingshan and I doesn't have to be like this. I guess he must have been tripped up by something. Miaomiao, you've finished eating, so go back first. I'll wait for him here and heat up the dishes so you can have a hot meal when he comes back."

Xu Miaomiao saw Gu Yuanniang's expression and shook her hands: "That's how you are. You always think about others. I can't control you anymore."

After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left. As soon as she left, she bumped into Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan saw that it was Xu Miaomiao and was about to apologize, but then he saw Gu Yuanniang in the room behind him. He sighed and was about to turn around and leave subconsciously, but Xu Miaomiao grabbed him and said, "Xu Qingshan, where are you going to escape to again? Liu Niang has been waiting for you for a whole night. If you don't see her again, will you be worthy of her?"

When Xu Qingshan heard this, he was stunned: "What? She actually waited for so long, can she eat now?"
