Chapter 584 Join the Competition Together

Without saying a word, Erbao had been curled up in Xu Miaomiao's arms for a long time, motionless, staring at her eyes, looking at the woman in front of him dimly: "Mother, that godmother must be very angry with me, what should I do."

Xu Miaomiao patted the little girl's head comfortingly, looked at her and slowly said, "How could Godmother bear to be angry with you? Godmother just thinks that you don't take care of your body too much. It's for your health. She is also worried about you. I believe that as long as Erbao apologizes to Godmother obediently, Godmother will not bother with you about this matter."

"Um."

At this moment, Erbao seemed to have used up all his strength. He nodded vigorously, looked at Xu Miaomiao carefully and said, "Don't worry, mother, I will go and apologize to my godmother right now and never make her angry again."

As soon as he finished speaking, Erbao ran outside, shaking his pigtails.

Staring at Erbao's leaving figure, Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly. Both of them were stubborn, and Erbao was the kind of person who would not easily look back once he made up his mind. It seemed that she would have some worries in the future.

The little head with big eyes was looking at the situation inside the house. From the moment Erbao stood outside the house, Gu Yuan's mother knew of her arrival, so she forced herself to stay away from the figures outside and just stared at Xu Nianmiao in her arms and coaxed her gently.

Erbao stood outside the door without moving, hesitating whether to go in or not. He wondered if Gu Yuan's mother would be angry if she saw him now.

"What are you doing sneaking around the door? If you want to come in, just come in."

Gu Yuanniang spoke to the figure outside the door in an icy tone, without any mercy.

After listening to Gu Yuan's mother's words, Erbao finally stopped hesitating and decided to go in.

Gu Yuanniang stopped talking as soon as he entered. Erbao touched his nose awkwardly, and slowly moved towards Gu Yuanniang. He stopped when he was very close to her. He wanted to grab Gu Yuanniang's sleeve but pulled his hand back.

"Godmother, I know I was wrong."

"Oh?" Gu Yuan's mother raised her eyebrows, not listening to Er Bao's words at all: "How could the eldest lady be wrong? The eldest lady just saved her friend. This is a good thing. How could it be wrong?"

"Godmother, I really know I was wrong."

Erbao bit his lower lip lightly and looked at Gu Yuan's mother pitifully, as if he had suffered a lot.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Yuan's mother finally sighed, looked at the aggrieved Erbao, finally calmed her tone and spoke slowly.

"I shouldn't have ignored my own life and tried to save others even though I knew the water was higher than me."

Hearing Erbao say this, Gu Yuanniang sighed, placed Xu Nianmiao in her arms in the cradle beside her, and then looked at Erbao beside her.

Erbao also pouted and said nothing. His slightly red eyes made Gu Yuanniang feel distressed. She held Erbao in her arms. After all, he was the child she had watched grow up, so Gu Yuanniang was reluctant to let him go. At that time, she saw Erbao standing on the shore begging for help. The slippery ground almost made her fall down. Thinking about the life that would be left after the disaster, Gu Yuanniang held the child tightly in her arms, not wanting her to leave her.

Erbao cried out in pain and said, "Godmother, I can't breathe."

Gu Yuanniang also realized that her strength was too great, so she relaxed her grip and let go of the girl in her arms. She looked at her second uncle and said with tears in her eyes, "If you put yourself in danger again next time, I will pretend that I don't have a daughter like you."

"Yes, I understand, godmother."

Erbao rubbed his red eyes and said, "I will never do this again."

Gu Yuan's mother also sobbed, wiped the tears from Erbao's face, and touched her little head.

Erbao seemed to suddenly remember something, and he took Gu Yuanniang's hand and said, "Godmother, Xiaobao asked me to pick the most beautiful lotus for him today. I have picked it, Godmother, please accompany me to find Xiaobao."

"good."

Gu Yuan's mother nodded. They were supposed to participate in the competition today, but because of the previous incident, they were unable to go. However, they still have another chance tomorrow, and they can bring Xiaobao and the others to participate, which is also a good thing.

When the door creaked open, Erbao walked in with small steps. Seeing Xiaobao lying on the bed, Erbao sighed: "My poor brother, here, this is the most beautiful flower I picked today."

Hearing Erbao's voice, Xiaobao immediately struggled to sit up from the bed. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately came up to support him. Xiaobao reached out to take the flower that Erbao handed over, looked at it carefully, and shook his head: "Ugly."

Xiaobao's tone was a bit coquettish, but Erbao pouted in dissatisfaction when he heard this: "What's so ugly about it? This is obviously the best flower I can pick. Who are you going to give it to? You've put so much thought into it."

When his little thoughts were exposed, Xiaobao's ears turned red, which made people feel shocked.

Erbao thought about it and suddenly realized: "I see, you must be giving it to Nanzhi, right?"

Xiaobao lowered his head and said nothing, but his tangled fingers showed his current mood. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang gently touched her head and said, "Okay, I will accompany you to participate in the competition tomorrow. Since Xiaobao doesn't like the flower chosen by Erbao, you can choose the best one yourself tomorrow, okay?"

"Um."

With Gu Yuanniang speaking up, Xiaobao nodded shyly. He certainly wanted to choose the best one, and then use the method Xu Miaomiao used before to make it into dried flowers, and send it over so that Nanzhi could also see the lotus in Bai County.

"Godmother, are you really going to the competition with us tomorrow?"

Erbao's eyes were shining as he looked at Gu Yuan's mother and asked.

Gu Yuan's mother nodded: "After all, there is nothing to do tomorrow, so I will go with you to have a look. Anyway, Miaomiao is at home to take care of Nianmiao, so I don't need to worry about anything. I will accompany you to the competition tomorrow."

"Yeah."

When Erbao heard this, he was so happy that he almost pulled Xiaobao to run a few laps around the house.

Gu Yuanniang did not answer, but Xu Miaomiao suddenly sneezed, rubbed her nose, and felt something was wrong.

"Why, did you catch a cold?"

Song Wu Shao looked at Xu Miaomiao who suddenly sneezed and spoke, taking off the cloak beside him and covering Xu Miaomiao with it.

Xu Miaomiao pulled at her robe and said, "No, someone must be talking about me."

She is in such good health, how could she catch a cold? Someone must be talking about her.
