However, every word that she said just now was Xu Miaomiao's true words. She didn't want to depend on anyone to live. She just wanted others to know that she was Xu Miaomiao when they talked about her, and not a young lady who would only be replaced as Song Wushao's wife. Even if things were not going well, even if there were many difficulties and hardships ahead, she would not give up. She wanted everyone to know that women were never an appendage of men.
The meal ended quickly. After cleaning up the dishes, Xu Miaomiao was still a little worried about leaving soon. Sure enough, as soon as she arrived at Erbao's room, she saw the little girl crying under the quilt.
When he saw that it was Xu Miaomiao who came, he turned his head to the other side with dissatisfaction.
Xu Miaomiao walked forward with a smile, rescued the head from the quilt, looked at her and said, "Why, do you want to suffocate yourself to death?"
"Humph, my mother won't care anyway."
"How could my wife not care about our Erbao? Erbao is my wife's most precious child."
Xu Miaomiao was not wrong in saying this. She treated her three children equally, but she was partial to the second child, who was a girl, and paid a little more attention to him.
"If mother cared, why would she leave me for so long? Mother has been gone for so long, what should I do then?"
Erbao's eyes were slightly moistened. She was obviously only ten years old, but she looked so pitiful. Xu Miaomiao felt soft-hearted and really wanted to give up everything to be with her.
"Do you think my brother will miss his mother after being away from her for so long?"
"Of course." Erbao said firmly: "Although my brother is older than us, he is the one who needs care the most. When my mother was still pregnant, my brother often secretly shed tears when he looked at other mothers."
"sorry."
Xu Miaomiao hugged the children tightly in her arms. Originally, they were young enough not to remember what the original owner did, but she still hurt them, and she couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
Being held in Xu Miaomiao's arms, Erbao finally stopped crying. He absorbed the warmth from Xu Miaomiao's arms and said, "It's okay. Erbao knows that mother is more than just mother. Mother was mother herself first, and then she learned to be a mother to a little girl. I just can't accept this news suddenly."
"I'm sorry, I promise you, there won't be a next time, and I will take you with me wherever I go from now on."
"Um."
Hearing Erbao's answer, Xu Miaomiao's heart tightened. God knows how tormented she was when she decided to take Xu Xi to the south. She didn't want to be separated from her child, but the south was too far away and they had to go by water. She really couldn't guarantee the safety of her child. Xu Miaomiao was also extremely sad to leave her child.
Staring at the little girl who had fallen asleep after crying, Xu Miaomiao felt a pain in her heart. She stroked all her hair, touched her little cheek, covered her with the quilt, and then left.
Compared to Erbao, Xiaobao did not cry. It was not because he was reluctant to leave Xu Miaomiao, but as a man he had to suppress his emotions in his heart.
When Xu Miaomiao arrived outside Xiaobao's house, she saw that the light was still on inside.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xiaobao standing in front of the window with a row of upside-down lotus flowers hanging on the window. That was the method Xu Miaomiao taught him, which was to make dried flowers from the flowers.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao coming, Xiaobao saluted immediately. However, because the wounds on his body had not healed yet, the etiquette was crooked and looked awkward.
"You're already injured, why don't you go lie down on the bed."
Xu Miaomiao spoke with a slightly blaming tone, but Xiaobao smiled slightly: "Mother, of course this method can be used to make dried flowers?"
"Of course."
Xu Miaomiao responded to him, helping Xiaobao sit down on the bed beside her, her hand naturally resting on his pulse.
Xiao Bao also did not make up his mind. He just looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Mother, I have also taken my own pulse these few days. The medicine that Nan Zhi gave me is really effective. Some of the rotten flesh has begun to heal on its own. It would be great if we could figure out the formula of that medicine."
"Nanzhi is the most favored princess, so her things are naturally the best. Even if we know the formula of the medicine, it doesn't mean we can find the medicine we need. Let's not think about it for now."
"Um."
Xiaobao nodded slightly.
Looking at the child in front of her who was pretending to be calm, Xu Miaomiao smiled slightly. He was obviously reluctant to let go, but he pretended to be calm. He was still as adorable as the little baby he was when he was a child.
"You must take good care of yourself during the time when mother is gone. You must insist on taking the medicine. You must keep the things that mother made for you. You must not take them off. Do you understand?"
"Well, mother, don't worry, I will remember all of this."
It was a soft voice and tone, but he said such strong words. It was really hard to resist.
Xu Miaomiao covered him with the quilt and was about to turn around and leave when she felt a force coming from behind her. The corner of her clothes was suddenly grabbed by someone. Xiaobao's eyes suddenly became tearful and he almost cried when he looked at Xu Miaomiao: "Mom, I don't want you to leave."
Seeing Xiaobao like this, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help it anymore. Her nose felt sour and she hugged the child in front of her: "Don't worry, Xiaobao, mother will try to come back early. When mother comes back, I will bring you some Tangren, which is unique to the south, okay?"
"Mother, keep your word."
Xiaobao also stretched out a finger, wanting to pinky promise with Xu Miaomiao. Xu Miaomiao followed his wishes and pinky promise with Xiaobao. Seeing that the little boy in front of him finally couldn't resist his sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep, Xu Miaomiao blew out the light and left.
The night was quieter than ever before. Gu Yuanniang, wearing only her outer robe, saw Xu Miaomiao standing outside and took a step forward.
Knowing who the person next to her was, Xu Miaomiao did not turn her head to look, but just stared at the moon in front of her: "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart. I wonder if Dabao is missing us too after being away from home for so long. And Li Yi, his restaurant is next to the child. I looked at the people over there, and it seems to be well managed and there are many people. I wonder if Li Yi would be happy if he knew about this."
"Of course." Gu Yuanniang said firmly. She had accompanied Xu Miaomiao all the way here. They had experienced too much along the way, so she must understand Xu Miaomiao's mood at this moment.
"It's getting late, go to bed early."
"Um."
After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she turned around and went back to the room. She saw Song Wushao lying down. She didn't know if he was angry with him. Xu Miaomiao was also lying beside him with her clothes on.
"Xiaobao!"
A sound broke the quiet morning. Erbao pushed open the window, but unfortunately the flowers were all broken by the impact!
