Chapter 234 Conditions
"You can also give me the medicine if you want." Cui Yuan said as he unfolded the fan in his hand and looked at the woman in front of him with a smile. He had never seen someone as proud as Gu Yuan's mother, kneeling on the ground and begging someone so bitterly.
Gu Yuanniang also knew that Cui Yuan must have conditions for agreeing to it, so she immediately looked at him and asked, "What conditions?"
"Ling'er, I can also not come back and let you raise him forever." Cui Yuan said as he walked down the stairs and sat down on a chair nearby. With a faint smile in the corners of his eyes, he looked at Gu Yuan's mother and said, "But you must never marry."
Never marry...
These four words kept coming back to Gu Yuanniang's mind, like a spell, echoing in her mind.
Gu Yuanniang gave a bitter smile, and crystal tears slowly slid down her face as her body trembled. "As long as you are safe, what does it matter whether we are together or not?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Gu Yuanniang decisively agreed to his request: "I, Gu Yuanniang, swear here that I am willing to remain single for the rest of my life."
After saying that, Gu Yuanniang immediately looked at Cui Yuan and said, "Can you send someone to get that herb now?"
"Haha." Cui Yuan chuckled: "Why are you in such a hurry?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of white paper from his sleeve, borrowed a pen and ink from the shop owner, and clearly listed the terms he had discussed with Gu Yuanniang on it.
"I have already sworn an oath, and you still don't believe it?" Gu Yuanniang's eyes were slightly red as she questioned the man in front of her.
The man was not annoyed. He just pushed the document to Gu Yuanniang and said, "Write things clearly in black and white. I learned this from you. You won't forget it, right?"
Her mind unconsciously recalled the document that Xu Miaomiao wrote in order to make her and Cui Yuan reconcile. Gu Yuanniang clenched her fists unconsciously in her sleeves, picked up the paper and pen beside her and wrote her name on it.
Cui Yuan, who got the document, was also very straightforward. He immediately told the servant to go back home to get the medicinal herb.
After hearing Cui Yuan's arrangement, Gu Yuan's mother was relieved and was about to turn around and leave, but Cui Yuan's voice sounded behind her again, saying coldly: "Don't forget what you promised me."
Gu Yuanniang remained silent and only answered Cui Yuan with her back.
"How is it? Is the antidote arriving?" Song Weiwei was anxiously waiting for Gu Yuanniang at the door. As soon as she saw the woman, she immediately went up to her and asked her.
Gu Yuanniang also knew that she had been in a lot of trouble these days. Song Weiwei and Xu Miaomiao patted her hands to comfort her and said, "Don't worry, Cui Yuan has promised to give you the medicine. You can get it the day after tomorrow at the latest. But can Qingshan hold on until the day after tomorrow?"
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao with some concern.
Xu Miaomiao frowned, but still nodded: "Although the poison is very serious, I have sealed his meridians, at least it won't spread now, plus the medicine I prescribed is enough to resist the poison for a while, so don't worry, as long as the antidote arrives the day after tomorrow, we can fight poison with poison and make him spit out the poison, and then there will be no problem."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Gu Yuanniang no longer looked as worried as before and walked aside and sat down.
Song Weiwei looked at her in such a dazed state, and asked curiously, "Sixth Lady, what happened to you?"
Gu Yuanniang didn't seem to hear what Song Weiwei said. She stared blankly ahead, holding the deed tightly in her hand.
Song Weiwei was also a little curious, so she pulled the bag from Gu Yuanniang's hand. When she saw the contents inside, her expression, which had originally been filled with joy, immediately turned into shock.
"What's wrong? What's written on it?" Xu Miaomiao asked curiously.
Seeing Song Weiwei standing there in a daze without saying anything, he simply reached out and took it.
Seeing what was written on it, Xu Miaomiao was a little angry and threw the paper on the table: "Sixth Mother, how could you agree to such a shameless condition?"
"That's right." Song Weiwei responded from the side: "It's obvious that she is not living well herself, and she doesn't want to see you living well."
"Yes, Liu Niang." Xu Miaomiao also said indignantly: "He knew that you and Xu Qingshan were truly in love, but he still made you sign this kind of contract. This is obviously to ruin your second half of life."
"Haha." Gu Yuanniang's expression remained unchanged. She stared blankly in front of her and said, "Even if she agrees, Qingshan's family will definitely not allow me to marry. It doesn't matter whether we are together or not. As long as he is safe, I will be satisfied."
After these words were spoken, Song Weiwei and Xu Miaomiao fell silent. Gu Yuanliang was right about one thing. The Xu family would not let Gu Yuanniang join the family. After something like this happened, she had no hope.
"Sixth Lady, Sixth Lady."
Suddenly a weak voice came from upstairs. Gu Yuanniang's originally dull expression was filled with hope again, and she quickly climbed upstairs.
After opening the door, Xu Qingshan tried weakly to climb down from the bed, but he didn't have the strength and fell down beside it.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately helped him up and laid him on the bed.
"Don't worry, Qingshan. Take good care of yourself these days. Miaomiao has found a way to save you."
"Sixth Mother, I am sorry for you. I broke the oath I made to you, but I will never marry Liu Hong. This is the only thing I can do." Xu Qingshan said as he coughed weakly twice. Seeing Gu Yuanniang's tears, he felt distressed. He wiped away her tears and said, "Don't cry. Sixth Mother, I made you worry about me."
"Actually, I've figured it out." Gu Yuanniang forced a smile, tears falling along the curve of her lips: "Although Liu Hong is a little stingy, after marrying you, she will definitely be happy with you and will definitely be a considerate and good wife. We are destined not to be together in this life, so why don't you marry her and fulfill Madam Zhang's wish!"
"Sixth Mother, what did you say?" When Xu Qingshan heard this, it seemed as if the world was spinning. His pupils dilated rapidly and he looked at the woman in front of him with some disbelief.
The pain in Gu Yuanniang's heart was indescribable, but she still smiled at Xu Qingshan and said, "I think you should just marry Liu Hong! She will definitely be a good wife in the future."
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan pulled Gu Yuanniang up, hugged her tightly, and whispered in her ear: "Don't say such things again."
Feeling the man's warm embrace, Gu Yuanniang was immersed in it for a moment, then she rationally pushed Xu Qingshan away, helped him sit steadily on the bed, picked up the quilt and covered him, and said, "You should take good care of yourself first, and we can talk about the rest later!"
Looking at the woman's departing back, for some reason, he had a thought of compromise in his mind.
