Hearing this, Xu Qingshan let go of Gu Yuanniang, but stood up straight, looked into his eyes, and said firmly: "Sixth Mother, promise me that you will trust me a little more."
Gu Yuanniang nodded: "After going through so many life and death situations, why are you becoming so hypocritical? It's not appropriate."
Xu Qingshan smiled slightly: "I understand what Madam Xu said. You insisted on letting Liu Juan in because of Madam Zhang's constant threats. I believe she must have put a lot of pressure on you, which forced you to do so. And you don't want me to have too much estrangement with my mother. I understand your intentions. But since I promised you that I would never take a concubine in this life, I will never let this oath go. Please believe my sincerity."
Seeing Xu Qingshan like this, Gu Yuanniang couldn't say anything more. She nodded at him and almost cried with excitement. Xu Qingshan was really unlucky to meet her. He gave up his family and career for her and came to this remote place with her. Now he had to quarrel with his family because of her. How could she repay this kindness?
As if he could see through Gu Yuanniang's heart, Xu Qingshan took him into his arms and said firmly, "Meeting you is the luckiest thing in my life. If it weren't for you, I would be a puppet in my mother's hands, and everything would go according to her arrangements. Who knows, when Liu Hong was here, our family would have been in chaos and broken up."
"Don't say that." When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she immediately covered Xu Qingshan's mouth, and Xu Qingshan also laughed.
Xu Miaomiao, who was outside, saw that they had reconciled, and the string in her heart that had been tense finally relaxed. Since the two of them were so affectionate, it would be disrespectful to Madam Zhang if Gu Yuanniang went to say it. Xu Qingshan went to say it, but the one who fell to the ground was our elder, so it would be better for her to be the bad guy.
Xu Miaomiao thought secretly and made up her mind.
When I first saw Madam Zhang, she was still pouring tea and teasing her little grandson. When she saw Xu Miaomiao, she ignored her sarcasm and said, "Madam Xu, how come this big Buddha has time to come to my place?"
Xu Miaomiao ignored his words and sat down on a chair beside him. She looked at the child in Liu Juan's arms and said, "Have you given him a name? He's almost one month old, right?"
Madam Zhang coughed and turned a rare friendly face to Xu Miaomiao: "Of course I'll give him a name. I've thought it through. This child is well behaved and looks like his mother. The one in my family doesn't look like him at all. In the future, he will definitely bring honor to our family, so I'll call him Xu Yao."
"Well, this name is indeed good."
Xu Miaomiao said this, stood up, looked at Liu Juan, then looked at Madam Zhang, and said, "Now that the child has been born and the matter has been resolved, has Madam Zhang thought about what to do in the future?"
When Madam Zhang heard this, her expression changed. She thought Xu Miaomiao was trying to drive them away. She glared at her and said, "What do you mean by that? Do you think we will stay here and not leave?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head and said, "Madam, what are you talking about? I certainly don't mean that. You are Mr. Xu's mother, so you are naturally my elder. I am talking about this nameless Madam Liu Juan, what are her plans for the future."
When Madam Zhang heard this, she immediately spoke to Liu Juan and said, "Liu Juan, since she gave birth to my son's child, she is naturally his concubine. This is our Xu family's family affair, so Madam Xu can't be too concerned about it."
"That won't do." Xu Miaomiao looked at them and said, "I am Gu Yuanniang's family, so I will naturally consider him in everything. Now, Mr. Xu and Liu Niang are blessed with love, and this Liu Juan came out inexplicably, isn't it out of place? Madam Zhang, I have a solution."
"What?"
"Liu Juan actually gave birth to this child for Mr. Xu. If she wants to go out and marry a good man again, it is naturally impossible. Since he was bought by Madam Zhang, why not let Madam Zhang take him home and recognize him as her adopted daughter? In this way, there will be someone to take care of you in your old age and also let the child recognize his ancestors."
Madam Zhang slammed the table angrily after hearing what her wife said, and stood up and said to Xu Miaomiao, "Xu Miaomiao, what are you talking about? I have a son who takes care of me in my old age, so what does it have to do with Liu Juan? And Liu Juan gave birth to Qingshan's biological son, so how can I not give him a legitimate status? I think your words and deeds are all in favor of Gu Yuanniang, and you want to force Liu Juan into a dead end, right?"
"Now that Liu Juan has given birth to a child, what do you want him to do in the future?"
"Then this is what Madam should consider." Xu Miaomiao looked at him and said, "Madam, I'm afraid you have forgotten what you said when you let Liu Juan into my house. It was a nice thing. As long as Liu Juan gave birth to a child, you would take him back to Dudu City and never ask about Gu Yuanniang and Xu Qingshan again. Why, now these words don't count?"
Madam Zhang's expression changed when she heard this. She was extremely angry, and her chest heaved. However, she couldn't think of a word to refute Xu Miaomiao for a long time. Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything when she saw this, but looked at Liu Juan with cold eyes. Liu Juan hugged the child tightly in her arms. When she heard what Xu Miaomiao said, she secretly pinched the child's thigh with her hands. The child immediately began to cry loudly. Liu Juan also cried pitifully and said, "Since Madam Ling is so embarrassed, I might as well die with my youngest child. The world is so big, but there is no place that can accommodate me. Maybe when my parents left, I should have followed them, so that I wouldn't be alone now, and bring this disaster to other families."
As he spoke, he was about to hit the wall beside him. Xu Miaomiao watched this scene coldly. Madam Zhang seemed anxious and stood up and said, "According to what you said, I was the one who found you. Whatever you do in the future, I will be responsible for you. Why listen to his nonsense here? Did Gu Yuanniang ask you to come? Go and call Gu Yuanniang out for me. I don't believe this matter. As a mother-in-law, I can't decide."
"Madam, why do you have to do this?" Xu Miaomiao said, looking at the two of them and refilling the tea beside her: "Liu Juan, you acted pitiful when I first met you, and you are still acting pitiful now. Do you think that the women in our house don't understand your little tricks?"
