"And where did you go just now?" Gu Yuanniang looked at the man and said.
Originally, they were all standing together, but when she turned her head, the man disappeared. If she didn't know Xu Qingshan's character, she would have thought he was deserting.
Xu Qingshan said seriously, holding the stick in his hand, "Just now I saw that you couldn't win, so I went to get a weapon, but when I came back you had already dispersed, so I hurried to the department store, and as a result, I saw the guard who was with Madam Xu just now, called Ah Da or something, holding that man back home, and I didn't see what happened next."
After taking a breath, Xu Qingshan continued, "I just heard from others that someone suddenly had an old illness and died on the spot with foam at the mouth. It was so scary."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang looked at each other and said nothing.
Just when Xu Miaomiao was about to go out to investigate, a group of soldiers came towards them, led by Ada with a worried look on his face.
"Ada, what happened? Is the man dead?"
Ah Da looked at Xu Miaomiao in surprise: "The news spread so quickly, Madam Xu, you already know about it."
Hearing this, everyone looked in the direction of Xu Qingshan.
After Ah Da reacted, he continued, "I was originally following Madam Xu's wishes and taking that person home, but halfway through, he suddenly fell to the ground and began to convulse. I didn't even use first aid measures before he died. I sent the body to the clinic next door, and they said it was an old illness that had recurred."
"So that's how it is. General, there are many more things to do today." Xu Miaomiao bowed and looked at the person in front of him.
Ah Da sighed and said with some regret: "It's my fault that my family didn't take good care of me. Madam Xu, I'm so sorry!"
"Fate is predestined. That person has health problems. It's not your fault." Xu Miaomiao continued.
After finishing the business, Gu Yuanniang handed over two jars of good wine and then let Ada leave.
After the man left, a strange silence came from the room.
Gu Yuanniang looked at the thoughtful Xu Miaomiao and walked over: "Miaomiao, what do you think about this matter..."
The ending tone was drawn out, but Xu Miaomiao already knew the meaning. She stared at the land in front of her and said, "He just agreed to testify in court, and he died the next second. If we say that this was not man-made, I'm afraid it will be hard to convince the public. But now we don't have any evidence, I'm afraid this matter will be settled like this."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao looked at Gu Yuan's mother who was observing her expression. If this matter was just let go, Gu Yuan's mother would probably feel bad.
Knowing what Xu Miaomiao meant, Gu Yuanniang shook her head indifferently: "It's nothing to me, but as long as it can prove the innocence of our department store, nothing else matters."
"I'm sorry for putting you through this, Liu Niang." Xu Miaomiao put her hand on Gu Yuanniang's shoulder and looked at her with heartache.
"Hey, what's the big deal?"
Although the matter could only be left like this, Xu Miaomiao still felt like there was a thorn in her heart that she couldn't get rid of.
He still looked depressed until he returned home.
But Song Wushao would never let her be alone, so he hugged Xu Miaomiao from behind and said, "Are you still worried?"
Xu Miaomiao patted Song Wushao's hand comfortingly: "The truth has been revealed, but it's a pity that we were unable to find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and a life was lost in vain."
"That man falsely accused you, he deserves to die."
Hearing Song Wu Shao say such fierce words in a calm tone, Xu Miaomiao's heart skipped a beat.
He immediately turned around and looked at Song Wushao and said, "But even so, isn't it too much to pay with one's life? I don't feel sorry for that person, but their children are still young. After losing their father, I'm sure it won't be easy for them in the future."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao looking sad and depressed, Song Wushao thought secretly that his wife was really kind. If it were him, that family would probably have missed seeing the rising sun long ago.
"By the way, Nangong Jin is getting married, did you know?"
He was a little excited just now, but when he heard Xu Miaomiao utter the three words "Nangong Jin", Song Wushao frowned unconsciously and hummed in a low voice.
"Since you knew, why didn't you tell me?" Xu Miaomiao looked at Song Wushao with some confusion.
"They are just outsiders, nothing important."
The cold voice echoed in the air. Perhaps Xu Miaomiao had long been accustomed to Song Wushao's tone, so she didn't notice anything different.
He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "That's true, but I promised him that I would go to the banquet, and I don't know what kind of gift I should prepare?"
Song Wu Shao hugged the dazed Xu Miaomiao tighter: "Let me, your husband, take care of this matter. I will definitely not be impolite."
Thinking that Song Wushao was also a person who had been in officialdom for a long time, Xu Miaomiao nodded with relief.
A few days passed in a flash, and the only son of the Nangong family got married. Naturally, the ceremony was one of the most grand in the capital.
The streets were filled with red cloth lanterns, and everyone gathered happily on both sides of the street, watching Nangong Jin welcome Princess Jiahe back to the mansion.
The Nangong family was even more generous, and everyone who congratulated them received some change.
Xu Miaomiao and Song Wushang packed up and prepared to go out.
Seeing the big package prepared by Song Wushao, Xu Miaomiao asked curiously: "What gift is this?"
Song Wu Shao smiled slightly: "You will know when the time comes."
With a bad premonition in her heart, Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and snatched the package from Song Wushao's hand: "Let me see it first."
But no matter how hard she fought, she couldn't snatch it away from Song Wushao. The man held the thing high in his hand, and Xu Miaomiao couldn't reach it at all.
She could only curl her lips at Song Wushao.
The two men drove a carriage to the gate of Nangong Mansion and were greeted by a young servant.
When he saw Song Wushao, he stepped forward respectfully: "Sir Song, Madam Song."
Xiao Si bowed to the person in front of him, which was obviously the simplest etiquette, but for some reason, whenever Song Wushao heard others call Xu Miaomiao "Mrs. Song", a smile always appeared on his face.
He then took some change and handed it to the servant: "Thank you, Master Song."
"Brother Song, what gift is this for me?" Nangong Jin was dressed in red, with her three thousand black hair tied high behind her head, fluttering as she walked. If there wasn't such a beautiful woman by her side, Xu Miaomiao would have been stunned.
“Just open it, Mr. Nangong, and you’ll know.” Song Wu Shao said as he handed the thing to him.
Tearing off the red cloth on the outside, Nangong Jin took out the things inside.
It turned out to be a fertility-giving Guanyin. When Nangong Jin saw this thing, he subconsciously looked at Xu Miaomiao's expression.
