Xu Miaomiao paused, but ultimately didn't say anything and turned and left.
Watching her walking further and further away, Nangong Jin behind her smiled bitterly, shook his head, and slumped down on the bed.
Night had already fallen when Xu Miaomiao finally arrived home. Gu Yuanniang had been waiting for her in the living room. When she saw that she had not returned for a long time, she sent someone out to inquire about her.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao dragging her body back, Gu Yuanniang immediately stood up: "Why did you come back now and make yourself look like this? What happened?"
Not wanting to worry the person in front of her, Xu Miaomiao shook her head and just said that she had accidentally fallen.
"Don't try to lie to me. What happened?"
Gu Yuanniang wanted to help Xu Miaomiao sit down, but as soon as her butt touched the stool, Xu Miaomiao felt pain all over her body and stood up immediately: "What happened? Did someone hit you?"
Xu Miaomiao really didn't want Gu Yuanniang and the others to worry all the time, so she said, "No, Liuniang, don't worry about it. Why are you still awake so late? Did something happen in the department store?"
I stayed in the department store all day, and nothing happened. But you came back so late, I was worried about you, and I couldn't sleep, so I just waited here."
"Where's Ling'er?"
"Don't worry, the boy is sleeping soundly, Weiwei is with him."
"That's good. It doesn't matter if we as parents get hurt ourselves. What we fear most is that something bad happens to our children."
Xu Miaomiao spoke casually. When she heard what she said, Gu Yuanniang lowered her head, put away her hands, and no one knew what she was thinking.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Xu Miaomiao asked, "Sixth Lady, what happened?"
"Qingshan is here today."
"Xu Qingshan?" Xu Miaomiao was still a little incredulous: "How could Madam Zhang allow him to continue to come to the department store to look for you? Didn't his cousin Liu Hong come with him?"
"I'm following you, but I'm not coming to find me. I'm coming to find you." Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and said.
When Xu Miaomiao heard that they were looking for her, she was a little surprised.
Then Gu Yuanniang slowly spoke, "Mrs. Zhang has been ill for a long time. Qingshan had promised her and Liu Hong to get married a few days ago, but somehow, as the wedding was getting closer, Mrs. Zhang fell ill. The doctor went to see her, but he just shook his head. He had no other choice, so he came to you with a heavy face."
"What do you think about this matter, Liu Niang?" Xu Miaomiao asked the woman in front of her. If it were any other time, she would naturally ask Madam Zhang to see the doctor, but now that it involved Gu Yuan's mother, she couldn't help but think carefully about it.
Gu Yuanniang held the handkerchief in her hand, lowered her head, her eyes slightly red, and spoke with a choked voice: "Although Madam Zhang doesn't want me to marry Qingshan, she is Qingshan's mother after all. Qingshan treats me so well, how can I blame him for not being together in the end? And I also know that if Miaomiao had someone, you would definitely not stand by and watch her die."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and comforted Gu Yuanniang: "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look tomorrow."
After comforting Gu Yuanniang, Xu Miaomiao returned to the room.
Song Wushao was still flipping through a book at his desk. When he saw Xu Miaomiao coming back, he frowned in displeasure. His eyes never lingered on Xu Miaomiao, but he said, "A hairpin was lost in Prince Jing's mansion today. Did you know that?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly, took off his coat, and said, "I heard about it."
As soon as the words fell, there was a long silence.
Seeing this, Song Wushao finally couldn't help but asked, "Does your body still hurt?"
Xu Miaomiao was a little shocked when she heard this, and looked at Song Wushao: "You, you know everything."
Song Wushao nodded slightly and stood up. He helped Xu Miaomiao sit on the bed, fixed the corners of the quilt for her, and tidied up her hair. Then he said, "Princess Duan Jing is not someone you can easily mess with. Although people in the capital have always praised her for her virtue, how many people can come out of Prince Jing's Mansion unscathed? She is very good at posturing. If she wants to retaliate against someone, even if there is no crime, she will find a way to accuse you of one. And Princess Jiahe is also extremely arrogant and domineering. Even Nangong Jin can't do anything about it. Why bother to provoke them?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao sat up straight with some anger, looked at Song Wushao and said, "What do you mean I provoked them? Why did they provoke me for no reason? I was originally running my shop in the capital and doing a good business with the court. Maybe Song Zhijin and Princess Jiahe had to provoke me for no reason and put me in danger several times. If it weren't for Nangong Jin saving me, I would probably have died here. I would have been played around by them a long time ago."
Hearing this, Song Wu Shao remained silent and sat blankly on the edge of the bed.
Seeing this, he became even angrier and said, "Humph, I won't talk to you anymore."
After saying that, he turned over and lay on the bed, ready to fall asleep.
But she couldn't swallow the anger in her heart. Although she closed her eyes, she was still thinking about all sorts of things. Suddenly, she felt a warm feeling behind her. Song Wushao hugged her in his arms, and his gentle voice bit her ear softly: "Hold on a little longer, and you won't have to swallow your anger like this any more."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao relaxed, hugged Song Wushao, and smiled.
Although she didn't know what evil tricks the big boss was planning, it was definitely not something she could get involved in. The only thing she could do was to guard the backyard for Song Wushao.
When she woke up in the morning, Xu Miaomiao felt that the pain in her body had been relieved a lot. After taking the medicine she had prepared, she thought that the wound would heal soon.
It would be better not to go to Prince Jing's Mansion. After all, she only has one life, and she can't guarantee that she will be able to come out safely next time.
Gu Yuanniang had packed her things long ago and waited for Xu Miaomiao and the other person to finish breakfast before accompanying them to Xu's house.
When they arrived at Xu's house, it no longer had the grandeur it had last time.
The two or three servants in the house also disappeared, and the flowers and plants in the yard may have become withered because no one took care of them.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao, Xu Qingshan put down the book in his hand and stood up immediately, as if he had seen a savior. Then he saw Gu Yuanniang next to him, lowering her head with some disappointment, not daring to look at her.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang was silent for a while.
It was Xu Miaomiao who spoke first: "Where is Madam Zhang?"
"Ah, in that room."
After hearing Xu Miaomiao talking, Xu Qingshan finally reacted and pulled Xu Miaomiao into the inner room.
Madam Zhang on the bed was very weak, even her breathing became shallow, and her face was pale without a trace of blood, as if she would die at any moment.
Xu Miaomiao didn't waste any time and immediately took out the medicine box and started treating the woman.
When he took his hand down, Xu Qingshan, who was standing by, stepped forward anxiously and asked, "Is there any hope?"
