After a long while, Xu Miaomiao slowly said, "You are pregnant."
After hearing these four short words, Gu Yuanniang was stunned for a moment. It was as if her feet were tripped by a stone, making her stand there in a daze, unable to move. Her whole body was stiff and she couldn't help shaking.
Seeing this, Xu Qingshan immediately said, "Who is it? Cousin, don't worry, I will definitely arrange your marriage properly."
After hearing him say this, Gu Yuanniang relaxed for a moment.
When Liu Hong heard Xu Qingshan say this, her eyes immediately turned red, and she looked at him with a choked tone: "Cousin, are you unwilling to acknowledge me just for Sister Gu?"
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan was struck by lightning, and his anxiety made him stutter again: "You, don't talk nonsense, when will we..."
"It was a few days ago. You drank some wine from the department store and passed out. I went to bring you medicine, and you mistook me for Sister Gu, and then..."
At this point, Liu Hong was already sobbing and looked aggrieved, as if she had been bullied.
Gu Yuanniang felt that if she stayed here for one more second, she would suffer more. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Ling'er, I'm afraid she's awake. I'll go home and check on her."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly. Xu Qingshan, who was standing beside her, looked a little unbelievable and wanted to catch up with Gu Yuanniang, but he didn't have the nerve to do so.
Xu Miaomiao, who was taking a patient's pulse, also looked unhappy and packed up her things.
"Let me calm down first."
Having said this, Xu Qingshan hurriedly ran out the door.
For a moment, only Liu Hong and Xu Miaomiao were left in the room.
Xu Miaomiao didn't want to see her pretending anymore, so she immediately said, "Stop pretending. We all know what kind of person you are. Why are you wasting your tears here and crying in front of me?"
She blushed and smiled, then wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief. She no longer looked sad at all.
Looking at Xu Miaomiao, he said, "As expected of Madam Xu, you can see through my little trick at a glance."
"You knew you were pregnant a long time ago, and you deliberately said it today just to embarrass Liu Niang."
"Ms. Xu is right."
Liu Hong nodded, touched the bun on her head, and continued: "If I don't do this, and something happens to my aunt again, how can the Xu family accommodate me?"
Xu Miaomiao remained silent and was about to turn around and leave, but she still replied to Liu Hong: "Take care of yourself!"
Seeing that she wanted to leave, Liu Hong immediately stepped forward, pulled Xu Miaomiao back, and said, "What disease is my aunt suffering from? Have you diagnosed it?"
Xu Miaomiao's expression changed, and she looked at Liu Hong calmly and said, "It's just anger. Let her exercise more and vent her anger, and she will be fine naturally."
Hearing this, Liu Hong also breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Xu Miaomiao with a smile and bowed to her.
"Thank you, Madam Xu."
Xu Miaomiao didn't have time to continue pretending with her, so she turned around and left.
“Dangdangdang——”
When there was a knock on the door, Xu Qingshan was still sitting in front of the table in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about.
Xu Miaomiao interrupted her thoughts and walked straight in.
Seeing that it was Xu Miaomiao, Xu Qingshan immediately took out a stool and called out, "Madam Xu, please take a seat."
Xu Miaomiao sat down slowly, put the medicine box in her hand on the table, looked at Xu Qingshan and said, "I came here to tell you about Madam Zhang's condition."
Hearing this, Xu Qingshan also woke up from what happened just now. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and slowly said, "Madam Xu, if you want to say something, you can say it."
"I took Madam Zhang's pulse today. She didn't look like she was angry. When I saw Madam Zhang before, she was in good health and would not suddenly have an attack. I think someone poisoned her."
"Poison?"
When Xu Qingshan heard this, he stood up straight in surprise.
Xu Qingshan nodded slightly. I was not sure either. "If Mr. Xu has time, you might as well look for it in Madam Zhang's diet. If there is anything wrong, you can bring it to the department store for me to take a look, so that I can prescribe the right medicine."
"But there are only a few members of our Xu family. Who on earth would poison my mother?"
"I'm afraid it's hard to say what will happen to this matter. The most important thing right now is to cure Madam Zhang's illness first."
Xu Miaomiao spoke slowly, and Xu Qingshan also reacted and bowed to Xu Miaomiao: "Thank you, Madam Xu, for today."
Xu Qingshan nodded slightly, then turned and left.
When they arrived at the department store, the door was closed and it didn't look like it was open at all. When they pushed the door open, they saw Gu Yuanniang slumped in front of the table with a jar of wine in her hand.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao shook her head helplessly. At this rate, their department store would go bankrupt sooner or later!
But Xianxian didn't have time to think about anything else. He hurried forward to help Gu Yuanniang up and wanted to take the bottle of wine from her hand, but Gu Yuanniang held it too tightly and continued to drink.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao did not stop her, but gently held Gu Yuanniang in her arms.
"I also know that you feel bad. If you can speak it out, I am willing to listen to you all the time."
Gu Yuanniang seemed to regain consciousness for a moment. She leaned her head on Xu Miaomiao's shoulder and slowly said, "I knew this day would come, but when I heard that Liu Hong was pregnant with Qingshan's child, my heart was still in unbearable pain. This might be God's punishment for me. Maybe I was wrong to divorce Cui Yuan. Cui Yuan was right. I am not worthy of happiness."
"He's talking nonsense." Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "Happiness is something you have to fight for. Liu Niang, you didn't even fight for it, so why do you say you can't be happy?"
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she sat up straight, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "But now that the matter is done, what can I do to change it?"
"Who said it's a done deal?" Xu Miaomiao said slowly, "Just wait and see, this matter has not yet come to a conclusion."
A few days later, Xu Qingshan hurriedly found the department store.
When Xu Miaomiao saw him, she was not surprised. Instead, she looked outside the door to see if there were any other figures following him, and then closed the door.
"Why, Mr. Xu found evidence?"
"yes."
Xu Qingshan nodded and took out a red box containing a black pill.
"My mother never believed in ghosts and gods, but for some reason she said this was a Taoist priest who gave her a pill that could prolong her life. She had kept it carefully in the cabinet until I accidentally heard him talking to my cousin. I learned about this. While my mother was taking a nap, I sneaked this thing out. We usually eat together as a family, so I didn't think it was poisoned. The only possibility is this."
Xu Qingshan handed the thing to Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao took the thing, put it to the tip of her nose and smelled it, then crushed it directly, revealing a tiny red particle inside.
