Chapter 522 Take Away
"Hey, what are you still doing there? Come over and see your son."
As Madam Zhang was talking, she pulled Xu Qingshan towards that side. Seeing the crying baby in her arms, Xu Qingshan's brows relaxed and he reached out his hand to touch his cheek. This scene happened to be seen by Gu Yuan's mother, and Xu Qingshan immediately retracted his hand, but Gu Yuan's mother did not take it seriously.
"This is your child too, you should treat him with all your heart and soul, but it's time for Nian Miao to breastfeed, so I'll go back and talk to him first."
Gu Yuanniang turned and left. Xu Qingshan thought about it again and again, and when he wanted to chase Gu Yuanniang, he stopped and did not move.
Holding his grandson in his arms, he said with a smile: "Now that Liu Juan has given birth to her child, the next thing is for you to take her as a concubine."
"Mother, I've already said that I will never take a concubine."
"That was in the past. Now that Liu Juan has given birth to a grandson for you, if you don't take her as a concubine, how can this child have a legitimate status in the Xu family? No, you must take her as a concubine. Only in this way can the child be adopted under the name of Gu Yuanniang. Otherwise, if the news gets out, wouldn't we have to admit that those people are laughing at our family for not understanding the rules?"
Xu Qingshan was silent for a while.
Madam Zhang looked at Xu Qingshan and patted his shoulder, then she spoke: "Mother knows that you really did it because Gu Yuan's mother didn't want to marry her, but if this child is now nameless and without status, I'm sure you will feel bad. Although you are ruthless to Liu Juan, this child is your own after all, how can you treat him like this? Besides, your father and I have followed the rules all our lives and dare not cross the line in the capital. If we break the rules because of this incident, how do you want others to view our Xu family? How can your father and I live in the capital in the future?"
Madam Zhang tried her best to persuade Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan raised his eyebrows slightly, and when he saw Gu Yuanniang leaving, he relaxed for a while, but clenched his fists. Then he looked at Madam Zhang and said, "Mother, let me think about these things again!"
Xu Qingshan turned and left.
Xu Miaomiao sighed, but immediately ran after Xu Qingshan.
"Mr. Xu, please don't let any rift between you and Liu Niang arise because of me."
What Gu Yuanniang said touched his heart deeply. He really didn't know how to face Xu Miaomiao. She was just a woman, yet she could cause so much trouble between them.
Xu Qingshan did not say anything. Instead, he took a step back, bowed to Xu Miaomiao, and then left in a hurry.
"Madam, Madam Gu wants you to come over."
Xiao Si came over and said.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she immediately waved her hands and walked towards the backyard.
As soon as she entered, Gu Yuanniang put away her clothes and held the baby in her arms.
Xu Miaomiao went over and wiped the milk stains from the corners of Xu Nianmiao's mouth, then playfully took her from Gu Yuanniang's arms.
He coaxed her gently and said, "This little girl is really greedy. She never forgets to have a bite of food every moment."
Gu Yuanniang smiled slightly when she heard this: "Yeah, I don't know why this girl has such a good appetite. She wasn't like this when she was pregnant with Ling'er."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao did not say anything. Instead, she gently coaxed the child and looked at Gu Yuanniang in silence for a while, but still could not help but continue to speak: "Sixth Mother, you and Xu Qingshan must not have any grudges because of me. I have seen how difficult it has been for you all along. Please do not misunderstand each other because of this. Besides, I really did not consider this matter carefully. How could you let him leave your mother's side so soon after you gave birth to the child?"
"Xu Miaomiao, do you still think I'm your good sister?"
Gu Yuan's mother was indeed dissatisfied with what you said. She stood up, looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "I came here today to discuss this with you. You must take this child away."
Xu Miaomiao was a little shocked when she heard this. She stood up immediately and looked at Gu Yuanniang with wide eyes: "What are you talking about? This is your biological child. What if something unexpected happens?"
"You won't let him have a good time."
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao firmly and said, "Besides, as a woman, I understand the pain a woman feels for her children. How can I bear to see so many babies suffering like this? Nian Miao is gone, but you can save more babies, and that's enough."
Gu Yuanniang said to Xu Miaomiao firmly.
Xu Miaomiao didn't expect that. She immediately put the child in the cradle beside her and hurriedly prepared to leave. Just as she was about to leave, she met Xu Qingshan who had rushed back from outside. Xu Qingshan's brows relaxed, and he looked at Xu Miaomiao firmly and said, "Madam Xu, Liu Niang is right. I am selfish and narrow-minded. I forgot that there are so many children waiting for you to rescue them. Besides, the fruit poison is very serious. A little bit of fruit poison may lead to the demise of the entire South Country. I am a scholar. For the sake of the South Country, how can I ignore the lives of so many people in the capital because of this selfishness? If the fruit poison is really related to Liang Country, we must not tolerate it."
"My son alone can save the lives of tens of thousands of families. How can that be impossible?"
After Xu Qingshan finished speaking, he picked up Xu Qingshan who was standing beside him, put him in Xu Miaomiao's arms, looked at Xu Miaomiao firmly and continued: "If he is lucky enough to help you today, it will be considered a blessing for him."
Xu Qingshan took a last lingering look at the child in his arms, and immediately handed him over to Xu Men. For some reason, the child, who was only a few taels, felt extremely heavy in Xu Miaomiao's hands. He held the child tightly in his arms, looked them firmly in the ears, and immediately said, "You trust me so much, how can I live up to your trust? Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, I will definitely protect his life at all costs."
Gu Yuanniang took Xu Miaomiao's hand and said, "In this world, your life is the most important to me. If it is the most critical moment, I hope I can protect myself."
No one knew how much courage Gu Yuanniang must have taken to say this and look at the child in her arms, but she still turned away cruelly.
Xu Qingshan also turned his back to Xu Miaomiao: "Madam Xu, please leave quickly, or I'm afraid I will regret it."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she no longer hesitated, hugged my child in her arms and went out.
