Chapter 210: Drive Out of the Capital
After returning to Wu Xianggong's house, Xu Miaomiao began to pack up. Erbao and Xiaobao, the two little guys, had been waiting for so long, and if she didn't go back, they would be worried.
"Madam Xu, are you leaving?"
The woman who had just washed the dishes was holding the baby in her arms and coaxing him gently. She looked at Xu Miaomiao who was packing her things and asked.
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao nodded. When she thought about going home soon, she was happy. "Just now, your boss has agreed to let me go."
"Okay." Looking at Xu Miaomiao's appearance, the woman looked a little disappointed.
The man outside the house came in, and when he saw Xu Miaomiao, he said, "Madam Xu, it's hard to find the road in the dark, why don't you have breakfast first?"
He paused while packing his things, and looking at the woman's pleading eyes, he finally softened his heart: "Okay, let's get going today."
This was her second night spent here. The peaceful atmosphere here really made her reluctant to leave and she felt that time was full. However, when she thought that she would be able to return home tomorrow, Xu Miaomiao fell asleep with a look of joy on her face.
After wiping the abacus in the store again and again, Song Weiwei propped up her head and looked at the door in front of her bored. From morning till night, no one had come. If this continued, they would go bankrupt before Xu Miaomiao came.
"Sixth Lady, what should we do now that we have no one left?"
Song Weiwei looked at the woman who was embroidering nearby and spoke.
Gu Yuanniang put away the things in front of her and sighed: "It was all because I was too impulsive at the time that caused such a thing. If it weren't for me, I'm afraid there wouldn't be anyone left."
"How can it be Sister Gu's problem?"
Xuguo hurried in from outside. Hearing Gu Yuanniang mocking herself, he spoke breathlessly.
When Gu Yuanniang saw him coming back, she immediately stood up from her seat, took Xuguo's hand and asked, "Have you found any clues in the past few days?"
"That man is not dead!" Xuguo said breathlessly.
When Song Weiwei saw him like this, she patted Xuguo on the back and handed him a glass of water.
Xuguo took the water from Song Weiwei's hand, and her ears turned slightly red.
He quickly distanced himself from Song Weiwei before calming down. He looked at Gu Yuanniang and continued, "I followed the man who came to our store to cause trouble. I didn't have any clues until yesterday."
Xuguo swallowed a mouthful of water and continued, "Last night, I watched him walk into a courtyard at the east end of the city. A woman came to meet him, but a man's voice came out from inside. He gave them some silver and told them to leave quickly and never show up in the capital again. He agreed."
"Great!" Song Weiwei said happily, "In this way, we only need to find that person to prove our innocence!"
"Yes!" Gu Yuanniang echoed Song Weiwei and continued, "In that case, let's go there quickly. If it's too late, I'm afraid they will have already left the city."
"Um!"
Song Weiwei discussed with Gu Yuanniang and prepared to leave with sticks in hand.
Xu Guo, who was behind him, heard all this and felt a little uneasy. Seeing the two people getting farther and farther away, he turned in another direction and headed towards Xu Qingshan.
"What's wrong? Why are you so anxious, Xuguo?" Xu Qingshan had just walked out of the school and was about to go home when he saw Xuguo running towards him in a hurry.
After telling Xu Qingshan everything that had just happened, the man almost dropped the book in his hand in panic: "We found that person, which is a good thing, but if we rush over so recklessly, I'm afraid we'll get into trouble. Xuguo, where is he? Take me there quickly."
Hearing this, Xuguo led the way anxiously.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei had already found the man's home.
He pushed the door open with the stick in his hand and searched the house.
The original man was still alive and kicking at home, but it looked like he was planning to leave.
When the man saw Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei, he was stunned.
Gu Yuanniang pulled the man and was about to walk outside: "Come on, follow me outside and prove to everyone that I didn't kill you. Let's go!"
Song Weiwei helped Gu Yuanniang pull the man into the yard. There was a busy street at the door. Seeing this, the man and woman looked at each other and lay down on the ground. The woman began to sob: "Everyone, come and take a look. You killed my husband and didn't even let go of his body."
Everyone now knew about the department store. When they heard this, the people around left and gathered around, surrounding the garden so tightly that no one could get in or out.
"My husband was killed by her, and now she won't even let go of the body. What should we do?"
The woman suddenly knelt on the ground and cried miserably. Immediately, people on the street pointed at Gu Yuanniang.
"You're talking nonsense, the man is obviously not dead. I saw him walking out of the house just now!" Song Weiwei was of course unhappy to hear the woman distorting the truth, and she immediately told her what had just happened.
"It's really unbelievable that we can't even rest in peace after death!" The daughter sat on the ground and cried miserably.
The people around couldn't help but say: "I am the doctor, let me take a look!"
The man who was talking walked straight in from outside, felt the pulse of the man on the ground, thought for a while, and said to the crying woman: "The deceased is gone, please accept my condolences."
"Impossible, you are in the same group!"
Song Weiwei said this with some disbelief.
Hearing the woman's rebuttal, the people around her became even more unhappy. They picked up boxes of food and threw them at Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei.
"Drive them out of the capital!"
With one voice, more and more people agreed with her. They all threw vegetable leaves at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Get out of the capital!"
Seeing this, someone brought a cart and pushed it towards Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei, so they had no choice but to retreat step by step.
When Xu Qingshan arrived, he saw Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei being bullied, but the students next to him saw him and immediately stopped Xu Qingshan: "Mr. Xu, this person is bullying others by taking advantage of his power, he is not a good person."
The students kept pulling Xu Qingshan back and not letting him go forward. Even though he wanted to, he couldn't take a single step forward.
Gu Yuanniang also saw Xu Qingshan in the crowd. When she saw that he did not come forward, for some reason, she felt more aggrieved and tears rolled down her eyes.
They were already on the street, and the crowd easily drove Gu Yuanniang and Song Weiwei to the city gate.
"We didn't kill anyone, it wasn't us!"
Song Weiwei tried to explain again, but the huge crowd did not give them a chance to explain and drove them out of the capital.
