"It's getting late now, go to bed early." Xu Miaomiao urged Gu Yuanniang.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang held Ling'er and left. Before leaving, she looked at Xu Miaomiao and warned her, "There are too many people eyeing us now. We need to be careful in everything we do."
Xu Miaomiao nodded to her instructions, looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
After getting the answer, Gu Yuanniang turned around and left.
The night gradually became darker, and the person who was supposed to come back had not returned yet.
Xu Miaomiao was drinking tea leisurely and flipping through the account book in her hand.
Seeing that the man had not returned yet, the woman beside him paced back and forth anxiously, and rushed directly to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Why has your uncle been out for so long and hasn't come back yet? Why don't you send someone out to look for him? What if something went wrong? What should we do?"
The woman paced back and forth in the room with a look of anxiety between her brows.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao said slowly, "He's already grown up, he must have his reasons for doing anything, why should we go out? Besides, this is the capital under the feet of the emperor, even if something happens, the soldiers will rush over at the first time, what else can we do?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes flickered twice. She pinched the handkerchief in her hand guiltily, then remained silent. Then she looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Even so, let's still send someone out to look for it!"
Xu Miaomiao disagreed. She knew the woman's mind very well. They just wanted to use the connections in the Song Mansion. If something really happened, they could use the reputation of the Song Mansion to make it known. But how could she let these two people get their wish this time?
He immediately said, "The reason you were able to enter our house was entirely because I felt guilty about you. I accidentally pushed you that day, which led to your miscarriage. Now your body has recovered, and I have used all the good elixirs on you. Don't say whether it is a loss or not. I am afraid that your body is even stronger than before. I don't ask for anything else. I advise you to leave as soon as possible, but you are unwilling to do so. You even use the reputation of the Song Mansion to show off in the capital. Do you really think that our Song family is your world!"
As soon as Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, the woman was so angry that she was speechless. She looked at Xu Miaomiao for a long time before she spoke: "What are you talking about? After all, I am your aunt. How can you talk to me like this? Is there any respect for seniority?"
"Respect for elders and juniors?" Xu Miaomiao heard the tone of the question, looked at the woman who stepped forward, and said, "The elders must love the younger ones, and the younger ones can respect the elders. Only in this way can you be respectful to the elders, but have you ever had a trace of pity and love for Song Wushao and Song Weiwei? I admit that I was wrong to force Song Wushao to marry me before, but if it weren't for me, the two siblings would have frozen to death on the street long ago. Now that you see that we are rich, you want to share a piece of the pie. Do you really think we are easy to bully?"
Xu Miaomiao said this and slapped her hands angrily. The teacups on the table shattered along the edge of the table, making a loud noise. The woman stepped back in fear. Looking at Xu Miaomiao, her eyes turned red. She said, "To be honest, if something happened to him, do you think your Song family can get away with it? At worst, we can see who can escape unscathed."
Seeing the woman's look, Xu Miaomiao chuckled, looking at her nonchalantly and said, "You wish for it."
Xu Miaomiao said calmly, "We in the Song family have always been well-behaved and never overstepped the line. Song Wushao has been very careful in his official duties until today and has never made any mistakes. It is only natural that he is appreciated by the government. You are the ones who want to drag us down and put us to death. Don't blame us for sacrificing our own family for the sake of justice."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, the woman's heart skipped a beat and she clenched the handkerchief in her hand even tighter. She looked at the scene and felt a little nervous. If Xu Miaomiao said this, the man might really be captured.
It was not until the sun had completely set behind the mountain village and no sunlight could be seen in the sky that Xuguo hurriedly ran back, still panting.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately walked over, supported Xuguo, brought him a cup of tea, looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
Xu Guo drank the tea that Xu Miaomiao handed over, looked at Xu Miaomiao and slowly said, "Sister Xu, you are right. Those people offered lower prices than others. I thought you had your own plans when you asked me to do these things, so I found the one with the lowest price, and it turned out to be him."
After listening to Xuguo's words, Xu Miaomiao suddenly felt relieved. Xuguo had seen the man when she came to the Song Mansion for dinner, so naturally she knew him.
As soon as he saw the man selling illegal salt, he immediately reported him to the authorities, and then hurried back to report.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao was still a little nervous and worried, Xu Guo immediately spoke up: "Sister Xu, don't worry, I have handled this matter properly. When the people around heard that the man's salt price was lower than theirs, they were naturally dissatisfied. And when I went to notify the government, those people didn't know about it. The government was very good at catching them all in one fell swoop, but..."
Xuguo seemed to be hesitant to speak here. When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Just what? Tell me quickly."
"The man who was captured just kept saying that he was the uncle of the current Minister of Rites, and asked them to spare their lives for the sake of the Song family."
"Humph, it's just as I expected."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao sneered and looked ahead with a dark look in her eyes. She had expected that once the truth came out, he would drag the Song family into it. "It doesn't matter."
Xu Miaomiao comforted Xu Guo and continued, "When you go to the police today, you must report that you are also from the Song family."
Xuguo nodded: "Of course it was announced."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sleeping woman stood up immediately. When she saw Xuguo, she asked him anxiously, "How is it? Is your uncle back?"
"Haha." Xu Miaomiao smiled, looked at the woman in silence, and said, "You are still waiting for him to come back. I'm afraid that from today on, he will have to eat prison food from now on, right?"
"What!" The woman was shocked and confused after hearing those words, and she pulled Xu Miaomiao as if she wanted to tear Xu Miaomiao apart. Seeing this, Xu Guo immediately wanted to stop her, but unexpectedly the woman was too strong.
