Chapter 340 Xu Qingshan is crazy
As soon as Xuguo left, Gu Yuanniang also became restless. She sat up and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Now, we have been targeted time and again. Even though we have cooperated with so many stores and our business has been getting better, those people's impression of us has not changed. What should we do?"
When Xu Miaomiao heard what Gu Yuanniang said, her eyebrows had already been tightly knitted together, and she immediately said, "Let's solve the current problem first. As long as the department store can continue to operate, the people around will see our determination and will naturally not make things difficult for us."
After hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Gu Yuanniang nodded slightly and sighed helplessly.
As soon as the words fell, the door creaked open, and Madam Zhang was supported by the maid beside her and slowly walked in. Madam Zhang today had lost her former charm. She was dragging her tired body, and her haggard brows were obviously visible. Seeing this scene, Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised.
I saw Madam Zhang slowly walking over, sitting down next to Gu Yuanniang and sighing.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately took the teapot next to her and poured a new bowl of tea for Madam Zhang.
Madam Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao politely and said, "Madam Xu, don't bother me. I came here today to ask you for a favor."
Xu Miaomiao still placed the teacup in front of Madam Zhang, because Gu Yuanniang was related to her family by marriage. Besides, Xu Qingshan had helped her a lot. Xu Miaomiao then calmly sat aside and said to Madam Zhang, "Madam, just say whatever you want. If I can do it, I will definitely try my best."
Madam Zhang sighed deeply, and said with her head drooping, "I shouldn't have stopped you from marrying Qingshan. Since you agreed, I should have treated you well after marriage. But not only did I not do that, I also held a grudge against you because of this and tortured you in every way. That's why the slave girl did this."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she remained silent. Instead, she kneaded the scroll in her hand repeatedly. It was obvious that she was a little nervous. Xu Miaomiao saw this scene, smiled slightly, picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and responded to Madam Zhang: "Madam Zhang, you are too polite."
"What's the point of being polite, kid? I know that all this is my fault. I didn't treat you well. When those people came, I thought about the relationship between the main family and the side branch of the Zhang family and didn't want to miss out on this big tree. That's why I caused so much trouble and put you and Qingshan in this situation. In the end, it's still my fault. When you come back to our family, I will definitely treat you well and will never let you live worse than others."
When Madam Zhang said this, her words were quite sincere and she took Gu Yuanniang's hand which was on the table.
Gu Yuanniang was suddenly pulled by someone, her expression relaxed unconsciously, and she quietly took her hand back.
Seeing him like this, Madam Zhang thought that Gu Yuanqu Niang was unwilling to forgive him, so she continued, "Good boy, I know I did a lot of foolish things in the past, but you should also understand me. Qingshan is your only child, so don't bother with me anymore. From now on, our family will live in harmony and happiness. Do you think that's ok?"
Mrs. Zhang said this with an almost begging tone.
Xu Miaomiao was a little puzzled when she saw the change in Madam Zhang. Logically speaking, Madam Zhang was such an aloof person. After experiencing this incident, Gu Yuanniang didn't want to return to the Xu family. Shouldn't she be happy and set off firecrackers? Why did she come back now?
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang's brows relaxed slightly, Xu Miaomiao knew that Gu Yuanniang was starting to soften her heart again.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately asked Madam Zhang, "Since you are here to invite Liu Niang back, why doesn't Mr. Xu come along?"
Xu Miaomiao poked her head out, looked at Madam Zhang curiously, and said.
When Madam Zhang heard this, she paused for a moment, then sat up straight, raised her head and looked at Xu Miaomiao, and said, "I am talking to my daughter-in-law from the Xu family today. Even if you are from her family, you shouldn't interrupt her elders. After all, she has to call me mother!"
If Xu Miaomiao was still a little puzzled about the reason just now, it has been confirmed offline that there is no such thing as a visitor without a reason. Something must have happened to the Xu family, and they dragged Gu Yuan's mother back to be the scapegoat, otherwise why would Madam Zhang come to the door for no reason.
Xu Miaomiao recalled the last time Xu Qingshan ran out, he looked crazy, and felt something was wrong. She looked at Madam Zhang and said, "Mr. Xu really liked Liu Niang. Even when Liu Niang returned to the Song Mansion, he would bring some cakes and fruits back every now and then to check on her. But since that woman died, I haven't seen Mr. Xu again. Could something have happened to him?"
Madam Zhang's eyelids jumped when she heard this. She immediately raised her head, looked at Xu Miaomiao, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? My son just went crazy for a while, how could he be in trouble?"
Perhaps because she was eager to refute Xu Miaomiao's words, Madam Zhang spoke a little anxiously and accidentally blurted out the truth. After saying it, Madam Zhang felt a little regretful and immediately covered her mouth, but Gu Yuan's mother had already heard it.
As soon as Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, Gu Yuanniang was a little shocked and stood up, so much so that she knocked over the teacup on the table.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately pulled her aside and checked if her wrist was scratched.
He looked at Gu Yuanniang with a reproachful tone and said, "You are already a grown-up, but you are still so careless. What if it slips and hits your hand?"
"Miao Miao, I'm fine."
Gu Yuanniang comforted Xu Miaomiao and gave her a smile. Then she looked at Madam Zhang anxiously and said, "You just mentioned Qingshan. What happened to him? Why did he go crazy?"
Mrs. Zhang saw that she had exposed the account paper with Gu Yuanniang, so she stopped pretending. She straightened her body, looked at Gu Yuanniang with some anger and said, "It's all because of you. If your maid hadn't killed him, Qingshan was originally a scholar. When had he ever seen such a scene of death? After returning, he lost his appetite and now he has started to talk nonsense. He is the only child of my Xu family. Now he has become like this. How can we live in the future?"
When Madam Zhang said this, the blame in her tone was obvious and her eyes were fixed on Gu Yuanniang.
