Chapter 464: No Room for Her
After all, in this era, men are respected.
The fact that they go out to do business is already criticized enough by others, and some even go so far as to accuse them of selling their bodies.
After doing this business, Xu Qingshan actually proposed that Gu Yuanniang's child should take her surname.
It is conceivable what a huge sacrifice this is. Even in his case, there are not many children who would take their mother's surname. Thinking of this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but sigh.
Song Wushao, who was standing by, seemed to have sensed his thoughts. He immediately lowered his ear and whispered into Xu Miaomiao's ear: "If you want, it's OK for all three children to have your surname."
Song Wu Shao couldn't say that. Xu Miaomiao smiled, blushed, gently pushed him away, and glared at him with displeasure.
The two of them were having a minor quarrel, so naturally no one noticed it. Everyone was only attracted by the angry figure of Madam Zhang.
"Qingshan, what do you mean?" Madam Zhang looked at Xu Qingshan with dissatisfaction, pointing at Liu Juan's belly beside her.
Liu Juan was also crying.
"The child in Liu Juan's belly is naturally a descendant of the Xu family, but it is not your biological child, right? How could you treat her like this? Besides, Gu Yuanniang is also pregnant with our Xu family's child. You actually want our child to take his surname. Where is the face of our Xu family? How can your father and I face the people in the capital?"
Xu Qingshan didn't take it seriously when he heard this, and ate the meal in front of him. Madam Zhang was very angry when she saw him like this, and she slapped the bowl and chopsticks in front of Xu Qingshan to the ground. Xu Qingshan was indeed calm and said coldly: "How can a family of scholars waste food like this?"
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh. Things had come to this point, but Xu Qingshan was still worried about the food that had been spilled on the ground.
Hearing this, Madam Zhang's chest rose and fell, and she was so angry that she slapped him directly. Xu Qingshan pointed at him and said, "You can't help but laugh. If you don't treat our Xu family well, I can't control you. Since Liu Juan is already yours and is pregnant with your child, you can do whatever you want. Anyway, I don't have the face to bring her back to the capital. She is a nameless woman. I originally thought that she gave birth to a child for you. Can you take her as a concubine for his sake so that he can have a place to live in the second half of his life? If not, you can take her as a maid. But she is pregnant now. I see that you don't plan to take her in at all. Should I take her back? You can do it yourself!"
Say it, Madam Zhang turned around and left angrily.
Liu Juan was naturally a smart person. She knew that she couldn't leave with Madam Zhang at this time. She just sat in her seat, picked up her handkerchief, and kept sobbing.
Seeing that Madam Zhang had really walked out of the Song Mansion and was getting farther and farther away from us, Xu Qingshan sighed and picked up all the rice on the ground. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately said, "How can this be? This rice is ruined. I'll go get you another bowl."
Xu Qingshan didn't take it seriously. He looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "It's okay. I'll give it to Da Huang at the door later."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she nodded. Everyone laughed and seemed to not take Liu Juan at the dinner table seriously at all.
Liu Juan cried even louder, and her voice trembled up and down.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao could only sigh, looked at Liu Juan and said, "You'd better stop crying. It's not good to be so up and down, it will only hurt the fetus in your belly."
When Liu Juan heard this, she seemed to be excited and slapped her abdomen. Everyone had already said, "Now that Madam Gu has given birth, why should I be responsible for the child? My coming here was a mistake."
Liu Juan slapped her belly again and again, which surprised everyone. Gu Yuanniang, who was standing by, reacted first and immediately grabbed Liu Juan's hand. When Xu Miaomiao saw Gu Yuanniang, she subconsciously protected her and controlled Liu Juan. She comforted Liu Juan and said, "Madam Liu, calm down first. The baby in your belly is important!"
Hearing this, Liu Juan stopped tapping her abdomen and calmed down, but she was still sobbing. She spoke in a broken voice, "Now that Madam Zhang has left, how can I stay here alone and cause trouble to you? But now, apart from here, where else in the world can I stay? I might as well just die."
As Liu Juan said this, she was about to stand up and rush towards the wall.
Xu Miaomiao was quick to act and immediately pulled her down. It was not because she was worried that Liu Juan would really die here and what the impact would be. No matter how badly Liu Juan was injured, she could save her.
It was just that Liu Juan had just rushed over and Gu Yuanniang was standing next to her. What would she do if she scared Gu Yuanniang? She immediately pulled Liu Juan onto her.
Xu Miaomiao then calmly looked at the woman in front of her and said, "Madam Liu, let's take a long-term view of this matter. Why do you have to be so desperate? Even if Madam Zhang doesn't care about you, you are pregnant with Mr. Xu's child. Will Mr. Xu really not care about you? What about us? There are so many of us. How could the Song family, with its wealth and wealth, not be able to support you alone?"
"Really?" Liu Juan's expression changed immediately after hearing this. She looked at Xu Miaomiao with pleading eyes, and then her eyes fell on Mr. Xu. Then she turned her head miserably and poked Xu Qingshan, saying, "Forget it, Mr. Xu, you and Madam Gu are truly in love, and I am stuck between them. I am really a nobody. I am just living in this world in vain. Maybe when my parents left, I should have gone with them. How did I end up like this?"
After saying this, Liu Juan started crying miserably again. Xu Miaomiao was tired of listening to her and sighed. Xu Qingshan frowned. Gu Yuanniang pushed him and said, "Madam Liu, don't worry. Since this matter is caused by Qingshan and me, we will definitely take good care of you. We will never treat you unfairly."
Hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Xu Qingshan was indeed dissatisfied. He frowned, looked at Liu Juan in front of him, and said, "I told you at the beginning that I would never marry anyone other than Liu Niang, let alone take anyone as a concubine. I will only be Liu Niang in this life."
