Chapter 451 Xu Miaomiao is caught in the middle
Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath, having already prepared herself for the woman to come and cause trouble today. She turned to the servant beside her and said, "Go and tell the department store that I have something to do today, so I won't be there for now."
After receiving the order, Xiao Si nodded to Xu Miaomiao and immediately turned and left. Xu Miaomiao then lifted her skirt and stepped into the hall. She saw Madam Zhang with a frown on her face. She was sipping the tea in front of her impatiently and glancing at the sky outside from time to time. When she saw Xu Miaomiao coming, she immediately put down her teacup and came to greet her.
Xu Miaomiao clenched the hem of her skirt in her hands and prepared to have a verbal battle with the woman opposite her, but Madam Zhang smiled, pulled Xu Miaomiao to sit aside, and said, "It is true that I came here suddenly today. I hope I did not disturb your rest, Madam Xu."
Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised to hear this, but she still shook her head and looked at Madam Zhang with some confusion on her face. Taking advantage of Xu Miaomiao's expression, Madam Zhang immediately said, "I already know what happened yesterday. It was indeed Liu Juan who did something wrong. I guess she has caused you a lot of trouble."
Xu Miaomiao nodded, looked at Liu Juan behind Madam Zhang, and said nothing. When Madam Zhang came, she immediately stepped forward and continued, "I bought Liu Juan in the capital. I felt sorry for her and she would have a baby if she was in good health, so I sent her here. I knew there would be some disagreements between Qingshan and Gu Yuanniang after she came. It's a pity that you should pity Liu Juan. I didn't ask Qingshan to take her as a concubine. I just wanted her to have a child for our family. In this way, wouldn't Gu Yuanniang have one less thing to worry about?"
"Otherwise, if Gu Yuanniang's strong body is allowed to give birth to a child for our family, wouldn't that be a difficult task for her? This way, it will be a good thing for both you and me." Madam Zhang said earnestly.
She even took a step forward and grabbed Xu Miaomiao's hand. Xu Miaomiao looked at her with a cold expression. She hadn't said a word since she came in. After all, this was Xu family's business, and it was not appropriate for her, an outsider, to say much. But now that it involved Gu Yuan's mother, she had no choice but to say a few words. She was Gu Yuan's mother's family member. If Gu Yuan's mother was hurt, she would naturally be the first to rush forward.
Seeing that Xu Miaomiao didn't speak, Madam Zhang thought that Xu Miaomiao was a little dissatisfied, and was about to speak immediately.
Xu Miaomiao pulled Madam Zhang's hand and responded, "Madam, you may have found the wrong person for this matter. Liu Niang is indeed very satisfied with Liu Juan. Yesterday, Liu Niang specially gave up the house to Xu Xiangong and Liu Juan, but who knew that Xu Xiangong suddenly got angry. You may need to talk to Xu Xiangong about this matter."
Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately. When Madam Zhang heard this, she frowned slightly, then turned to look at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Alas, I know my son best. As long as someone doesn't agree with him, he will be stubborn to the end and insist on doing things his way. I have no other options, so I came to you."
"But I believe that as long as it is what Gu Yuanniang says, my son will definitely listen."
At this point, Xu Miaomiao finally understood what Madam Zhang meant. She just wanted Gu Yuanniang to take the initiative to talk to Xu Qingshan about the matter, while she could just hint at it from the side.
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao sneered, bowed to Madam Zhang, and said, "I'm sorry I can't do this. Since Madam Zhang has this intention, why don't you go and talk to Liu Niang and Mr. Xu yourself? I'll take my leave first."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the person in front of her. Madam Zhang looked at Xu Miaomiao with dissatisfaction and said, "Xu Miaomiao, I am speaking to you in a nice tone today, please don't stay here, you don't know what is good for you."
Xu Miaomiao looked strangely cold. She looked at Madam Zhang in front of her without saying a word, and continued, "Yes, Madam, I am used to your behavior. Your amiable and kind appearance just now really scared me."
Xu Miaomiao was angry at the woman in front of him. The woman was naturally dissatisfied when she heard this, but she didn't say much. She glared at Xu Miaomiao, sat down, and said: "You have to do this today, whether you want to do it or not."
"Oh? Madam, do you want me to take the initiative to talk to Sixth Lady and ask her to persuade her husband to have a child with another woman?"
Xu Miaomiao asked back, choking Madam Zhang so that she couldn't say a word. Madam Zhang glared at Xu Miaomiao and looked at her: "You are worthy of being a shop owner, you are really sharp-tongued, but now that things have come to this, I will tell you the truth. If it is Gu Yuanniang, and she can't give birth to a child for our Xu family, don't blame me for finding someone else. If she doesn't agree, then I can only divorce her and let her relationship with Xu Qingshan end here."
Madam Zhang spoke with a cold expression, and when Xu Miaomiao heard the divorce letter, her eyes began to turn cold. It was indeed true. Nowadays, in this era, as long as the man's mother has any dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law, she can write a divorce letter, which is also legally effective. If Madam Zhang does this, Xu Qingshan and Gu Yuan's mother will be completely separated.
But Xu Miaomiao was unwilling to bow her head for Madam Zhang's behavior today, so she just walked aside and said, "Madam Zhang, I am an outsider anyway, why do you have to embarrass me? You asked me to tell Liu Niang and Mr. Xu, which really makes me feel awkward. How about this, Madam Zhang, as long as Liu Niang agrees, I will agree to this."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she was about to turn around and leave, but she heard a voice from behind: "Are you serious about what you said?"
Xu Miaomiao slowly stopped, looked back, and nodded to the woman behind her: "Of course I'm serious."
After saying that, Xu Miaomiao turned and left. As soon as Xu Miaomiao left, Gu Yuanniang came over. Looking at Gu Yuanniang's appearance, Xu Miaomiao's face flashed with worry. She grabbed his hand, stopped him from moving forward, and said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go."
Listening to Xu Miaomiao's words, Gu Yuanniang did not say anything. She shook her head at him, brushed Xu Miaomiao's hand away from hers, and said softly: "It's always a problem between me and Qingshan. How can you always be caught in the middle?"
