"Sixth Mother!" Xu Miaomiao immediately called out and took a step forward to stand in front of Gu Yuanniang.
With tears in her eyes, Gu Yuanniang held Ling'er tightly in her arms, curled up behind Xu Miaomiao, looking so aggrieved that she seemed like she was about to cry at any moment.
Xu Miaomiao felt a pain in her heart, and she gently supported Gu Yuanniang's back. She looked at the woman in front of her and said, "My lady, I don't know what your relationship with Mr. Cui is, but it seems that you are going to get married today. But I still kindly remind you that this child has only one mother, Liu Niang. Since the child was born until now, the father has never looked at him, but now he has taken the child away from Liu Niang. This is not fair at all."
"Today, we are going to take Ling'er away. If you have any dissatisfaction, you can report us to the government. But Mr. Cui, you must remember that we still have the document you wrote. Even if you are the child's biological father, it is written in black and white now. I don't believe you can take Ling'er away."
After that, Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuan's mother turned around and walked out, but Cui Yuan was really unhappy. He looked at them and shouted loudly: "Do you think black and white is useful? The most important thing for the current government is filial piety. I am the biological father of this child. Do you think Magistrate Hu will let you go like this? I want to see if Ling'er will return to our Cui Mansion in the end."
Gu Yuanniang was furious when she heard this. She was about to turn over and rush over to fight with the man, but Xu Miaomiao stopped him immediately and shook her head at him: "Forget it, Liu Niang, calm down first. He is just trying to provoke you. Let's go first and take Ling'er away. The wound on your hand can't wait any longer."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she looked at the sleeping child in her arms with heartache, nodded, and left quickly with Xu Miaomiao.
When the two just came back, Xu Qingshan was still holding Xu Nianmiao, waiting anxiously in the house. When he finally saw the two, he breathed a sigh of relief: "How is it, Liu Niang, is the child okay?"
Gu Yuanniang didn't have time to answer Xu Qingshan's words. She just hurried into the house holding Ling'er. Xu Miaomiao immediately started giving Ling'er acupuncture.
"What happened? How could it become like this? Isn't Cui Yuan the biological father of the child? How could he torture Ling'er into this state?"
"It's not Cui Yuan, it's the woman he just married."
"That's outrageous."
"Miao Miao, why hasn't he woken up yet?" Gu Yuanniang climbed onto Xu Miaomiao's arm anxiously, looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
Xu Miaomiao sighed and responded to Gu Yuanniang: "The water is too hot. You can see that this area is already swollen. Ling'er is still young, how can he bear such a thing? Now he has a fever, but don't worry, I have already given him an injection, but I think when the time comes, I will feed him medicine and the fever will go down."
"What about this scar? Can it heal?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "Don't worry, there is no injury that I, Xu Miaomiao, can't cure. Just apply the white jade ointment I prepared for half a month, and the scar will naturally fade away."
"That's good." After saying this, Gu Yuan's mother touched Ling'er's forehead with some heartache, and looked at the sleeping child, still frowning in her dream: "It's all my fault. I was only thinking about Nian Miao at the time, and I didn't even take good care of Ling'er. If it weren't because of me, how could Ling'er suffer such a thing?"
"Sixth Lady, why are you blaming yourself again? This matter has nothing to do with you. It was Cui Yuan who broke his promise and rushed over suddenly." Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "He really wants to take Ling'er back this time. I think something must have happened to them. We must find the reason for this matter."
"Yes, Miaomiao, Cui Yuan also said that he would go to the government office with me, but if we go there, will Ling'er really be taken away by them? The current housekeeper attaches so much importance to filial piety. If I lose Ling'er, I really can't live. Besides, you saw how that woman treated Ling'er today. If Ling'er follows him in the future, who knows what kind of suffering she will suffer."
Gu Yuanniang's tears welled up as she spoke. Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao wiped her tears away, looked at him and said, "Okay, Ling'er is still asleep now. We can talk outside."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she immediately nodded, looked at Ling'er reluctantly, and then followed the two of them out.
"Sixth Lady, don't worry. I will definitely find someone to investigate the reason behind this. But you have been helping to find Ling'er this afternoon, and Nian Miao hasn't eaten yet."
When Gu Yuan's mother heard this, she immediately looked at Nian Miao in Xu Qingshan's arms, took the child over, and began to say, "I'm sorry, Nian Miao, I was wrong today."
Xu Nianmiao seemed to sense Gu Yuanniang's mood. She opened her eyes, smiled, and babbled to Gu Yuanniang.
Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang was also amused and laughed.
"Okay, Liu Niang, go and feed Ling'er something first. Don't worry, I'm the only one watching over Ling'er. When the medicine comes, Mr. Xu and I will feed it well."
"Okay." Gu Yuanniang replied, then turned and left. Xu Qingshan did keep his eyes on Xu Miaomiao and continued to speak.
"Madam Xu, you didn't get bullied when you went to Cui's house today, did you? Cui Yuan is not someone you can easily mess with. When I was teaching at the academy before, I heard several students talking about him. He is a master at doing business, and he is also very ruthless and decisive in his actions. He didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head: "We are quite polite today, and he was the one who made the mistake by taking Ling'er away, so how can he make things difficult for us? This is his new wife, who is quite sharp-tongued and must be difficult to deal with. If they come to ask for Ling'er again, you can just use a big stick to drive them out. Anyway, we have Cui Yuanli's written document. Even if he surrenders and then ignores us on the grounds that she is his biological father, we still have our own way."
After hearing Xu Miaomiao say this, Xu Qingshan nodded.
After chatting with Xu Qingshan for a few more words, Xu Miaomiao turned around and went back to the house. Seeing that Song Wushao was still unconvinced, she sighed and sat down beside him: "I thought you would be able to relax a little after coming to Bai County, but I didn't expect you to be so busy. You spend all day lying in front of the desk. Be careful of your waist."
Song Wushao smiled evilly, raised his eyebrows, glanced at Xu Miaomiao, and said, "Madam, is your husband's waist okay? Don't you know yet?"
