Chapter 422 The Second Visit
After hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Xu Miaomiao calmed down, stood up straight, looked at Gu Yuanniang and smiled.
Gu Yuanniang raised her braided hair and put it behind her ears. She smoothed the loose hair on her forehead and said, "Don't pay attention to this kind of thing in the future. You always stood in front to protect us from the wind and rain. Let me do it this time. When those people come again tomorrow, I will talk to them. I don't know how they have the nerve to come to you for help. I will make sure they don't suffer any consequences."
After Xu Miaomiao heard this, she nodded and leaned on Gu Yuanniang's shoulder: "Sixth Mother, I am really happy to meet you in this life."
"I'm happy because I met you." Gu Yuanniang smiled and patted Xu Miaomiao: "If you hadn't saved me from danger and encouraged me to leave the Cui family, I might still be in that wolf's den, being devoured without even a bone. With you by my side, I feel unprecedented satisfaction and relaxation."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she looked at Gu Yuanniang and smiled. Without saying anything, she rested her head on her shoulder. The two of them talked and laughed together and chatted about other things.
Village Chief Wang’s visit to Xu Miaomiao today was unsuccessful.
Although Village Chief Wang would not say anything, there was no guarantee that the others would come forward again tomorrow. Gu Yuanniang thought secretly that when they came forward again tomorrow, she must not let those people from Wangjia Village go to Xu Miaomiao again. Otherwise, given Xu Miaomiao's character, if she was so soft-hearted, she would agree to them sooner or later.
But since they have done something wrong, they must pay the price for their mistakes. They must not be allowed to succeed so easily. While planning for tomorrow's arrangements, Gu Yuanniang fell asleep on the bed.
The sky was slightly brightening. Gu Yuanniang softened her sleepy brows and stood up. She saw that the originally bustling courtyard had become empty. Xu Miaomiao had already left for the department store to prepare the things she needed.
Seeing this scene, Gu Yuanniang felt relieved. As long as she stayed in the mansion, those people would be gone sooner or later, and they would not be able to run into Xu Miaomiao. This was a good thing.
Although she had been waiting for those people to arrive in the yard, she also had her own things to do. Now, Erbao and Xiaobao were idle at home, and Gu Yuanniang's task was to look after them. The three children were growing up under her knees, and the most important thing was to ensure the safety of the three children first.
Gu Yuan's mother was embroidering lace and watching Erbao, while Xiaobao and Ling'er were playing around.
Ling'er is younger than both of them. Erbao and Xiaobao also try to give in to Ling'er and don't argue with him. The three children swing on the swing together, taking turns pushing each other and having a lot of fun.
"Madam Gu, someone is coming today."
Hearing this, Gu Yuanniang paused in her work, looked up, and saw the servant beside her whispering in her ear. She nodded at him, gave a few instructions to the maids around her, and then waved her hand to call the three children over.
"Aunt Gu has something to do, so you guys should stop playing such dangerous games. Ling'er is old enough to learn to read, so Erbao and Xiaobao can teach Ling'er how to read. I'll find you in the house later."
"Okay, my handwriting is very beautiful, I must teach Ling'er well."
Erbao giggled and gave Gu Yuan's mother a sweet smile. Seeing that Erbao really nodded, he took Ling'er's hand and was about to leave.
"Run slower." Gu Yuanniang reminded the three people from behind. Seeing them running away, she breathed a sigh of relief. Her expression, which had just been somewhat relaxed, became cold and distant again. She nodded to Xiao Si and said, "Let's go!"
After a while, the two of them came into the house together, and saw that it was not only the village chief who came today, but also Liu Lame was with him.
When he saw clearly that it was Gu Yuanniang, Liu Quezi snorted in dissatisfaction and waved his hand at her: "Where is Xu Miaomiao? Call Xu Miaomiao out. I want to see her."
Gu Yuanniang watched at a leisurely pace. She did not give Liu Quezi a straight look, but bowed to Village Chief Wang and said, "I wonder what important matter has the Village Chief come here for today?"
Village Chief Wang sighed deeply and looked at Gu Yuanniang with embarrassment: "It happened yesterday. I asked Madam Xu for help after dinner."
"What did you say to her? She can't look at the ground. Where's Xu Miaomiao? Call her out. Is she trying to hide from me?"
Liu Quezi suppressed his dissatisfaction, looked at Gu Yuanniang and immediately said, "Gu Yuanniang, I'm not that easy to bully."
Gu Yuanniang sat down slowly, without giving any alms, and gave Liu Quezi a look, but still nodded to Village Chief Wang: "Then I'm afraid you came at a bad time today. Miaomiao went out early in the morning, and I don't know when she will come back. If Village Chief Wang wants to wait here, you can wait over there. There will be plenty of tea, fruit and fruits."
Gu Yuanniang said this as she turned and left.
But Liu Quezi, who was standing by, was not happy to see Gu Yuanniang leave. He immediately stepped forward, pulled him and said, "This is her home. I don't believe Xu Miaomiao. Isn't she coming back? Where is she? Hurry up and call her out."
Faced with Liu Quezi's unreasonable behavior, Gu Yuanniang subconsciously frowned, shook her arms, and immediately looked at Liu Quezi. Although he was a man, he was lame in one leg, lazy, and didn't like to do hard work. Naturally, his body was not as good as before. Gu Yuanniang looked at Liu Quezi who fell to the side and said, "Mr. Liu, you have to understand clearly. This is the residence of Lord Song. Although Lord Song is a small official now, he is still more important than the people. Do you have to act like this?"
"What did I do? I just came in to look for someone. You said that and I thought I was looking for trouble."
Liu Quezi said dissatisfiedly, then sat on the ground and started to act cool, saying: "It's obvious that you are bullying the weak. Seeing that I am missing a leg, you pushed me to the ground. I just wanted to ask Madam Xu to see me. Oh, why is my life so miserable? Why do you treat me like this?"
Seeing how miserable Liu Guizi was, Gu Yuanniang turned up her nose in disdain.
"Mr. Liu, I advise you to put aside your little thoughts. There are only three of us here. Who are you acting for?"
"You are such a good girl, Gu Yuan, do you really think I have no other options?"
When Liu Que heard this, he simply stopped pretending, tore off his kind mask and stood up, pointing at Gu Yuanniang and said, "If you don't want Xu Miaomiao to be called out, and if he doesn't give us the land to govern, I will go to the streets and tell you that you are a powerful official who bullies the people and bullies innocent people. I wonder how Song Wushao can continue to be an official?"
