Chapter 465: Plea
At this point, Xu Qingshan took a deep breath, then looked at the woman in front of him and continued, "You insisted on interfering. Even though I explained it to you so clearly, and I told you clearly that night, you still insisted on doing it. It was only by taking advantage of Liu Niang's drugging that you were able to accomplish this matter. Now that you have the result today, it is all your own fault. Since the person who brought you here is Madam Zhang, you should go find her."
Xu Qingshan spoke coldly. Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised.
She thought Xu Qingshan always remembered that Liu Juan was pregnant with his child, so he kept her.
Unexpectedly, Xu Qingshan's attitude was so firm. Gu Yuanniang didn't take it seriously. She tugged at Xu Qingshan's sleeve and looked at Liu Juan in front of her and said, "Qingshan's words are a bit serious. Don't take it seriously. You are still pregnant now. You should rest early. I will ask the servants to clean up a room for you. You should stay in the Song Mansion honestly for the time being."
Gu Yuanniang spoke.
Xu Qingshan was about to retort but was stopped by Gu Yuanniang.
After hearing this, Liu Juan calmed down and was taken away by Xiao Si. Everyone then sat down and breathed a sigh of relief in their original seats.
Song Weiwei immediately threw away a pair of chopsticks and said in dissatisfaction, "I was really suffocating just now, but luckily it's finally over. I don't know where this Liu Juan came from, and she made such a mess at home. If I were there at the time, I would definitely not let this Liu Juan enter our house. I would have beaten her up and driven her out when Madam Zhang brought her here."
Xu Miaomiao sighed at Song Weiwei's words, looked at Xu Qingshan, and said, "Mr. Xu, what you said just now is not right. It is you who gave birth to the child with Liu Juan, and the child in her belly is yours. You naturally have the obligation to support him. Even if you drive him away after he gives birth to the child, you can send him away with money, but you shouldn't say that to him."
Xu Qingshan heard Chunhua nod and sighed, "My attitude was wrong just now. It was indeed my fault, but I was too angry. I explained everything to them clearly, but they still forced me. I was forced into a corner, so I spoke up. I'm sorry, Liu Niang, I was so emotional just now that I didn't touch you, did I?"
Gu Yuan's mother shook her head and patted Xu Qingshan's hand in comfort: "Well, since it has already happened, let's wait until the child is born. Whether Liu Juan wants to leave or stay, we will let her do whatever she wants. After all, our department store has made some money, so we can afford to support them and their child."
Hearing what Gu Yuanniang said, Xu Miaomiao beside her also nodded.
Mrs. Zhang's move and her leaving were probably intended to keep Liu Juan in this family, Xu Miaomiao thought secretly.
It was supposed to be a great feast to celebrate Gu Yuanniang's pregnancy.
But he had not expected the scene to turn out like this today. He could not help but sigh. After dinner, everyone went back to their houses. Xu Qingshan supported Gu Yuanniang along the way, fearing that she would stumble.
Song Weiwei hadn't seen Erbao and Xiaobao for a long time, and she couldn't wait to see them. Her heart was drawn to them, so she went to see the children as soon as she had time.
After packing up the official uniform for Song Wushao and watching him leave, Xu Miaomiao felt a little empty in her heart.
Just as I was about to pack up and leave, Xiao Si stopped me.
Seeing Xiao Si's words were a bit hesitant, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but wonder: "Just say whatever you want to say. Is there anything you can't tell a lady like me?"
"No, no." Xiao Si immediately shook his head, looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "It's just that Madam, there are a few ladies who claim to be from Wangjia Village and want to see you."
"Where are they?"
Xu Miaomiao was a little confused because she had just returned from the main gate and did not see anyone from Wangjia Village. Now suddenly someone said that someone from Wangjia Village came to see him, and he was a little confused.
He had thought that after the house fire incident, he would no longer have any contact with the people in Wangjia Village, but he did not expect that just a few days later, those people came looking for him.
"They were at the back door. I don't know how they found out where the back door is. They kept blocking the door. Our maid wanted to go out to buy some food, but they stopped her there. They shouted, "Madam, if you don't go to see him, they will stay there and even took out a few straw mats and spread them in the corner and lay there."
Xu Miaomiao was a little surprised to hear this. This was probably the reason why those people didn't dare to come to the main gate to find him.
After all, he was acting like a scoundrel, so how could he come in through the main entrance? He could even do something like lying down, so you can imagine how difficult he was.
But the side door was also sparsely populated and not many people passed by. Even if he had some dispute with those women, very few people would know about it.
"I understand. I'll go there now." Xu Miaomiao nodded and looked at the servant in front of her. She had originally changed into a casual outfit and was planning to go to the department store to have a look, but after thinking about the people in Wangjia Village, Xu Miaomiao went back and changed into a new set of fancy clothes.
The servant in front slowly pushed the door open, and several fat women immediately jumped out and blocked their way: "Don't even think about going out. Tell Xu Miaomiao to come out and see me."
The woman in front was still shouting.
"Who wants to see me?"
Xu Miaomiao spoke.
The woman then saw clearly the person in front of her. She looked at the hairpin on Xu Miaomiao's head and the luxurious clothes she was wearing, and the look of surprise in her eyes was hard to conceal.
Xu Miaomiao disagreed. He naturally knew the two people in front of him. One of them was Wu Zhuang's wife, named Li Mei.
Another missing person was the wife of the man who started the arson that day. She forgot her name, but people in the village thought she was too gossipy and had a loud voice. She would talk nonstop whenever something happened, so they all called her "Big Voice Sister".
The two of them had already retracted their stunned expressions, and Xu Miaomiao began to speak: "Madam Xu, I admit that we were wrong to set the fire that day, but you have already punished us, why don't you send our husband back home? My children and the elderly at home are all waiting for my husband to support them, and you detained them. You are going to force us to death."
The two people looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke one sentence after another.
