Chapter 521: Wealth and Honor
The two of them quarreled so much that they ignored each other during dinner, and Xu Qingshan did not even come back. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but ask a question.
"Sixth Lady, how are you guys?"
After all, this matter was caused by him. If it weren't for her, Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan wouldn't have ended up in the situation they are in today.
Gu Yuanniang didn't say a word while she was eating the first bowl of rice.
"Why did my sister and Mr. Xu quarrel?"
Liu Juan, who was standing by, heard this and immediately asked.
Gu Yuanniang said nothing and lowered her head.
Seeing that no one responded to her, Liu Juan was not sure what was going on. An awkward atmosphere spread in the air, so she did not continue speaking.
Seeing this, Madam Zhang looked at Gu Yuanniang with ill intent and said, "This woman should stay at home to take care of her husband and children. Naturally, she should obey her father and husband. How can she quarrel with her husband? This is simply indecent."
Gu Yuanniang didn't say anything when she heard this, but she lowered her head even lower. Xu Men said dissatisfiedly: "Women must follow the three obediences and four virtues. If that's the case, Madam Zhang, your husband is now in the capital, what are you doing here?"
Mrs. Zhang was speechless when she heard this. She glared at Xu Miaomiao and was about to speak, but the bowl in Liu Juan's hand suddenly fell to the ground. She looked at her stomach in shock and said, "My stomach hurts so much."
After Liu Juan finished speaking, blood was seen seeping out from the hem of her skirt. Everyone was shocked by the scene and was speechless.
Two days ago, when Gu Yuanniang had just given birth and was counting the days, it was indeed time for Liu Juan to give birth. Madam Zhang was the first to react and immediately urged Xiao Si beside her to speak: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you go get the doctor quickly?"
Xiao Si reacted and crawled out.
Everyone then carefully helped Liu Juan to a nearby room.
"Madam Xu, you are such a great artist, please save me, it hurts so much."
Liu Juan immediately spoke up and looked at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao did not move, but stood there in a daze. Her and Liu Juan's identities were really awkward. If anything happened to Liu Juan, Madam Zhang would not let her off easily. Sure enough, Madam Zhang saw Xu Miaomiao still standing there in a daze, and immediately stepped forward to push Xu Miaomiao and said, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and save Liu Juan."
If these words were spoken by someone else, Xu Miaomiao would definitely not be happy. However, Xu Miaomiao did not think too much about it today. Instead, she glanced at Madam Zhang.
"You are the only doctor here, and the midwife hasn't come yet. If anything happens to my grandson, I will blame your Song Mansion."
Hearing what Madam Zhang said, Xu Miaomiao was not worthy of it. She sighed and went forward to check Liu Juan's pulse. She saw that her pulse was very weak. She looked at Liu Juan with sharp eyes and asked, "What did you eat?"
"Just some normal meals."
"Absolutely impossible." Liu Juan's pulse was very strange. It was obvious that she had taken some medicine to have such a pulse. "If you don't tell me the truth, I'm afraid that even a god can't save your child."
Hearing this, Liu Juan was silent for a moment, and then she saw Xu Miaomiao continue to speak: "It's just that I took some labor-inducing drugs. Seeing Sister Gu give birth so quickly, I was really worried. Madam Xu, you must save me!"
Liu Juan held Xu Miaomiao's hand and refused to let go, and now she looked at Xu Miaomiao as if she were a life-saving straw.
Xu Miaomiao shook off his hand and turned away: "I can't save you."
Madam Zhang, who was standing by, was dissatisfied with what she heard. She looked at Xu Miaomiao with a serious expression and said, "What? Madam Xu, no matter what, you must save my grandson for me. You can even save Gu Yuan's mother, so you can definitely save Liu Juan."
"There's nothing you can do about premature birth, but Liu Juan took so many doses of the drug to induce labor that only one of the child and the adult can be saved. You decide for yourself."
According to his thoughts, he would naturally protect Liu Juan's psychological state, but it was not easy for Madam Zhang to lose her child, and no one knew what would happen. Sure enough, when Madam Zhang heard this, she was stunned on the spot, and the next moment she immediately pulled Xu Miaomiao's hand and continued to speak.
"You must protect my children and grandchildren for me."
Liu Juan was lying on the bed, looking completely hopeless, like Madam Zhang.
Xu Miaomiao was about to step forward and speak immediately.
Unexpectedly, Liu Juan spoke first: "Xu Miaomiao, are you really going to kill me for an unborn child?"
It seemed that Liu Juan opened her eyes wide, but Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything.
"Don't worry, I will do my best. Besides, your life is naturally more important than your child."
Xu Miaomiao was silent for a moment, then immediately took out a silver needle from the space and wanted to stab Liu Juan. Madam Zhang on the side was indeed dissatisfied, and continued to speak after looking at Xu Miaomiao: "What are you doing? If you use a silver needle, what should I do if it stabs my grandson?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything, but looked at Aunt Zhang who continued to look at him: "It hurts so much now. If you don't give him acupuncture, he will die from the pain. Just for your grandson, is his life not as important as your grandson? Do you still have any humanity?"
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's question, Madam Zhang on the side fell silent and stood quietly by waiting for the midwife to arrive. By then Xu Miaomiao had finished the acupuncture and Liu Juan's lower body had stopped bleeding. The midwife had previously delivered Gu Yuanniang, and this time she met Liu Juan again, so fortunately she had more experience.
"Wa wah wah." The moment she heard the baby crying, Mrs. Zhang immediately came over.
"How's it going? Boy or girl?"
The midwife smiled and held the child in her arms. She looked at Madam Zhang and said, "It's a boy."
Madam Zhang smiled slightly when she heard this, and immediately stepped forward to take the child from his hands, coaxing him gently: "That's great, our Xu family finally has an heir, it really is God's will!"
Xu Miaomiao didn't have time to care about him. She just came to the bed and checked on Liu Juan's condition. Liu Juan was already very weak at this time, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. When she heard that it was a boy, Liu Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was finally able to compete with Gu Yuan's mother. It happened that they had a quarrel. At this time, if she used the child to tie Xu Qingshan down, she could stay in this home safely.
Xu Miaomiao disagreed. She looked at him and said, "Although your life is barely safe, you took too many medicines. Your qi and blood have been damaged. I'm afraid you won't be able to get pregnant again."
Liu Juan smiled indifferently. As long as she pursued this child, she could maintain her wealth and glory for the rest of her life.
