Chapter 468: Collusion
Even when she sat on the carriage, Xu Miaomiao was still a little shocked. She looked at Song Wushao and said, "Where did you get this carriage from?"
Song Wu Shao patted her head and spoke slowly, "I had it before. Your husband is an official in Bai County after all, so I naturally have a carriage, but I haven't used it before. Today, it rained, so I packed up the carriage and used it. I thought you would be busy in the afternoon and would definitely come to the department store, so I came to take a look. If you are there, I will take you back together."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly and snuggled sweetly in Song Wushao's arms. In fact, what really touches people is that he loves every little detail of you.
As soon as she got off the carriage, Xu Miaomiao went to the hall alone because she had some official documents to deal with at noon. When she arrived in the hall, she did not see Gu Yuanniang, but only saw Xu Qingshan sitting there with a worried look on his face.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Xu, didn't you promise me to look after Liu Niang?"
"Madam Xu, don't worry. Liu Niang is taking a nap in her room, but she thought I was too boring, so she asked me to leave. I have asked Xiao Si to watch at the door. If Liu Niang feels uncomfortable, I will rush over immediately. But another thing happened at home, and I am afraid it will bother you again."
Xu Qingshan said this with a somewhat annoyed tone. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao also frowned. If this continued, she would have wrinkles. He sighed, rubbed his brows, smoothed his frown, looked at her and said, "Mr. Xu, tell me, no matter what happens now, I have already made up my mind. What could be worse?"
Xu Qingshan was speechless for a moment, and couldn't say a word for a long time: "I'm sorry! Madam Xu, why don't you go to the garden yourself and take a look."
Hearing Xu Qingshan's words, Xu Miaomiao went to the garden without hesitation. Although Song Wushao's mansion was not big, fortunately there was a small garden with rockery and a small pond. Although small, everything was exquisite. Coupled with Xu Miaomiao's careful decoration, it had a unique flavor. Before Xu Miaomiao walked into the garden, she heard a hearty laughter. Seeing this, she was a little curious and poked her head out.
Liu Juan was sitting on the stone chair, and the two people opposite him were Li Mei and the big-voiced wife who had argued with him outside the door in the morning. How could the three of them get together? This was the first thought that came to Xu Miaomiao's mind, but before he could think of anything else, he saw the maidservant respectfully serving three bowls of tea and putting snacks on top. The big-voiced wife started to eat voraciously as if she had never seen Qian's candied fruit before. She rolled her eyes while eating and kept talking to Liu Juan.
Seeing the three of them like this, Xu Miaomiao only had one word in her mind: they were in cahoots with each other. Seeing this, she did not disturb them, but walked quietly behind the rockery to listen to what they were talking about. As soon as she got closer, she heard the loud-voiced sister-in-law yelling at Liu Juan, "You don't know how vicious Xu Miaomiao is. First, she ruined our land, and then arrested our husband. Now our husband has not been released yet. Who knows what he has been beaten into? We are really worried, so we came here, but she actually scolded us at the back door just now, saying that we were shameless and used all kinds of dirty words on us. I have never seen a young lady say such dirty words."
Liu Juan did not comment, but just picked up her hand and gently covered her mouth. Li Mei on the side also responded and said, "That's right, the words he just said to us were really ugly, but what kind of good thing is he? Who knows what the department store he opened is for? Maybe, that's right, women in it are showing off their beauty. I didn't expect Song Wu Shao to be able to tolerate such a whore like him? I don't know what's so good about him. Today, he deceived Song Wu Shao around. A vicious woman like her should be arrested and thrown into the pig cage."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, he raised his eyebrows. He actually wanted to hear what Liu Juan would say.
As expected, when Liu Juan heard what they said, she sobbed twice, took out her handkerchief, wiped the tears from her face, and said, "Two sisters-in-law, you don't know! I was bought by the eldest lady to be a concubine for our Mr. Xu, because Mrs. Gu couldn't give birth to a child. But who knew that just when I got pregnant, Mrs. Gu also got pregnant. This Mrs. Xu, because she and Mrs. Gu had a handkerchief relationship, wanted to drive me out, but now I have a child in my belly. Mrs. Zhang doesn't care about me anymore. I really have nowhere to go. Mrs. Xu even told me to die! Now, I am just lingering in this mansion and living one day at a time. I don't know what will happen to me after the child in my belly is born?"
"I'm really afraid that Madam Xu will really ask me to leave the mother and son behind, and force me to death."
Liu Juan spoke pitifully, and the two women beside him seemed to believe her. They excitedly grabbed Liu Juan's hand, looked at him and said, "Madam Liu, I think you are pretty, but you feel so wronged. It seems that Xu Miaomiao is really a piece of shit. It's fine if he harmed the two of us, but since he has even set his sights on a young lady like you, I think this kind of person should go to hell."
When Liu Juan heard this, she nodded and shook Li Mei's hand excitedly. The three of them seemed to empathize with each other. They were all people who had been persecuted by Xu Miaomiao, and they were actually playing the victim here.
Xu Miaomiao almost laughed when she heard this. She walked out from behind the rockery slowly, looked at Liu Juan who was sitting there and said, "Liu Juan, since you feel that the Song Mansion has treated you unfairly, you can leave at any time. You were the one who wanted to live or die that day, and you are the one who is talking here now. We in the Song Mansion cannot tolerate a big Buddha like you."
When Liu Juan heard this, her face turned pale and her tone was shocked. She was unable to utter a word. She looked at Xu Miaomiao with an embarrassed expression and stammered for a long time but couldn't make any sense.
Seeing Liu Juan hesitating, the two women next to her seemed unhappy. They glared at Xu Miaomiao as if Xu Miaomiao was threatening her, and continued to speak.
