Chapter 534: Barriers Removal
"It's okay, Miaomiao." Gu Yuan's mother immediately said from the other side: "Now that I am alone with the child, I can have some peace and quiet. If Qingshan comes and tells me this and that, won't I be even more annoyed?"
"Don't tell me this again." Xu Miaomiao immediately refuted Gu Yuanniang. Gu Yuanniang pursed her lips and said nothing: "Tell me honestly, is he always staying at Liu Juan's place now, and what's going on with you two? You knew that Madam Zhang always wanted to take Liu Juan into the mansion and make her a concubine, but you didn't hold on to Xu Qingshan, and you actually indulged him and went to Liu Juan every day. How can you stay in this Xu family in the future? Now you still live in the Song Mansion and in Bai County, and I will take care of you, but if one day you return to the capital, sooner or later you will have to look at each other with Madam Zhang. Now he can actually use you to control Xu Qingshan and let him take Liu Juan into the house. Then he can't use you to do more things, and you can't let him eat you too much, understand?"
"Sixth Mother, you are still my family, you have us all. If it doesn't work out, just come back. If it doesn't work out, just cut off contact with Xu Qingshan."
When Xu Miaomiao said this, she became a little excited. She paced back and forth in the yard and spoke to Gu Yuanyuan.
"Oh, it's all my fault. I heard that the Xu family was a family of scholars and that the mother was well-educated, but I didn't expect that they would be so gossipy. I should have found out more clearly. If I had known that Xu Qingshan had such a mother who couldn't tell right from wrong, I would certainly not have let you marry him."
Xu Miaomiao spoke immediately. When the man outside the door heard this, he clenched his fists and listened quietly.
"Miao Miao, what you are saying now is meaningless, isn't it?"
Gu Yuanniang glanced at the child in her arms, and immediately grabbed Xu Miaomiao's hand and said, "Although life is not as smooth as before, think about it. If we return to Bai County, we will no longer have to go to the capital, which is a place of gossip, and we will not have to endure so many people's abuse. We just need to live our lives in peace. Although the family is a little peaceful now, Liu Juan has no bad intentions. She just wants to be Qingshan's concubine so that she can have a stable place for the rest of her life. The eldest lady just wants the Xu family to expand. If you say these people really have bad intentions, it's not true."
“Now, I think this is good enough.”
Gu Yuanniang patted Xu Nianmiao's chest as she spoke, and she giggled at her wide-eyed look.
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, she sighed, "Sixth Mother, if I had known that you would lose your initial arrogance after marriage, I would never have let you marry Xu Qingshan. I wanted to find a place for you to live and a family to rest your whole life, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this. It's all my fault."
"How is it you who is wrong?" Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanniang immediately took Xu Miaomiao's hand, comforted him, and said, "I don't regret marrying Qingshan at all. On the contrary, I am very happy. Miaomiao, I should thank you. If it weren't for you, how could I have met such a good man in Qingshan?"
"A good man?"
Xu Miaomiao said these words with some doubts, tilted her head and looked at Gu Yuanniang, but Gu Yuanniang nodded: "Yes."
Gu Yuanniang was walking in the pavilion while talking, and she said, "Look, before he met me, Qingshan was the treasure of the Xu family. He had everything he wanted. He was also a scholar, down-to-earth, polite, and upright. His greatest wish was to serve the country, defend the territory of the South, and become a successful censor. But the emperor cut off his official career because of his stuttering. He didn't complain, but just worked steadily as a teacher, passing on his knowledge to other students, so that they would have the opportunity to fulfill his dream."
"He was even more caring and considerate of me. Even after what happened to Liu Juan, he remained loyal to me. Since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial. He has done his best for me, and even disobeyed Madam Zhang's orders for me. Madam Zhang is his mother. We have endured so much hardship together, and we have come through it every time. Why hasn't he come through this little bit of trouble?"
"I believe that we are in tune with each other, we just have some arguments occasionally, but isn't that the way couples get along? As long as Qingshan has me in his heart, it doesn't matter how many obstacles stand between us."
When Xu Miaomiao heard this, her expression paused. After all, she was just an outsider.
Whether Xu Qingshan was good to Gu Yuanniang or not was not something he could judge, but Gu Yuanniang praised Xu Qingshan so much, so she must be sincere. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything more, but just nodded at him: "Sixth Mother, you suddenly become much more open-minded."
Gu Yuanniang smiled, picked up Xu Nianmiao who was about to cry, and held her in her arms and coaxed her: "Qingshan taught me."
The figure at the corner could no longer stand there and walked over. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao pursed his lips and quietly slipped away. Although he had never entered the yard during these times, he would always stay outside the yard for a long time, just to take a look at Gu Yuanniang and Xu Nianmiao Wuyou. He felt relieved, but now after hearing what he said, how could his excited heart become so cold?
Seeing Xu Qingshan coming, Gu Yuanniang didn't say anything, but just smiled faintly. Xu Qingshan immediately stepped forward and took Gu Yuanniang and Xu Nianmiao into his arms: "Sixth Mother, I was wrong. I insisted on you to make a decision between me and Madam Xu. You really acted like a child."
"No way!" Gu Yuanniang shook her head, laughed, and looked at Xu Qingshan: "I just know that you care about me too much, so you want to figure this out."
Xu Qingshan smiled slightly: "But I have figured it out these days. The sisterly affection between you and Madam Xu is not something I can explain in a few words. I am happy for you to have such a friend by your side."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she also smiled slightly.
"I used to dislike your friends because they always dominated you, which made me feel unhappy. But now I think that having these people is a blessing for us."
Xu Qingshan responded to Gu Yueniang, and Gu Yuaniang nodded: "Yes, before I met you, it was Miaomiao who saved me. If I didn't have him, I don't know what my fate would be now."
