Song Weiwei seemed not to hear what she said. She waved at her and then slowly said, "Others don't understand me, but don't you know when you've ever seen me drunk? Even if I was drunk, it was because I wanted to be drunk, not because someone else made me drunk."
What she said was indeed true. Xu Miaomiao just smiled and did not refute Song Weiwei's words. She just nodded at her helplessly and did not say anything else.
It was rare for Dabao to come home, and Gu Yuanniang was very happy. She actually drank too much, and a blush crept up her cheeks. Xu Qingshan, who was standing next to her, saw her and just smiled slightly without saying much. It was rare to see Gu Yuanniang like this, so he naturally wanted to see what she would look like if she drank more.
But Xu Miaomiao was standing aside. Everyone was drinking and chatting happily. Even Song Wushao, who usually didn't like to drink, drank a few more glasses. He held the cup and didn't know what he was thinking about. Sometimes he just looked at Xu Miaomiao drunkenly.
Unable to bear the gaze any longer, Xu Miaomiao stood up, walked out of the annoying banquet, and sat alone under the willow tree in the courtyard.
Dabao put down the cup in his hand and followed Xu Miaomiao out. As soon as he arrived in the yard, he saw Xu Miaomiao staring at the willow tree alone, occasionally plucking willow leaves and playing with them in his hands.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao like this, Dabao also took a step forward, stood behind Xu Miaomiao, and moved closer quietly.
Feeling the breath of the person behind him, Xu Miaomiao smiled and turned around. When she saw that it was Dabao, she was not surprised at all. She just looked at Dabao and said, "I think your return this time is not just a simple visit home."
Hearing this, Dabao's brows wrinkled slightly. He stared at Xu Miaomiao's profile before speaking, "Did father tell you that?"
Xu Miaomiao was stunned. She pinched the willow leaf in her hand and broke it into pieces. Then she looked at Dabao and said, "Your father didn't tell me. I heard it myself behind the tree today. Besides, I am your mother after all. I know a little bit about my child's heart shape. Why can't you let me guess as well?"
Dabao smiled.
He is no longer the little boy he was when Xu Miaomiao first came. Even though his stubborn confidence is still there, he is completely different from before. Having seen so much love and hatred among the aristocratic families, he must have a different perspective.
"Mother, what if father and I really end up on opposite sides of each other in the future?"
Xu Miaomiao paused while holding the willow leaf. She did not actively answer him, but smiled and crushed the long-dried willow leaf in her hand. Then she looked at the person in front of her and continued, "It doesn't matter. You are you and I am me. Even if one is my husband and the other is my child, I am still myself. I will not be influenced by anyone. So even if you are against me, I will not help any of you. This is the path you chose."
Xu Miaomiao paused, stood up, walked over to the front two, looked at Dabao and continued: "As a mother, I don't want my children to be in opposition to my husband, but if there really comes a day, I don't want to lose any of you, but I also have my own things, and I am still myself."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Dabao was not too surprised, as if everything was within his expectations. He stared at Xu Miaomiao slowly leaving with a smile on his face.
This is the best way.
The Fifth Prince and the Crown Prince will have a battle sooner or later, so only with Xu Miaomiao's approach can they truly act without any scruples.
Although Xu Miaomiao did not drink as much as Song Weiwei, she also drank a few more glasses and was actually a little drunk for a while. She stumbled back to the house.
Just now, I was caught in the wind under the willow tree, and I was a little dizzy due to being drunk. I fell to the side and fell into someone's arms.
Song Wu Shao hooked his arm around her waist, and with a backhand, he held Xu Miaomiao in his arms, staring at her with a smile.
He slowly put Xu Miaomiao on the bed, but his fingertips were still reluctant to leave Xu Miaomiao's waist. Looking at Xu Miaomiao's rosy face, he continued: "You must be happy that Dabao is back today."
"What about you, are you happy?"
Xu Miaomiao held Song Wushao's hand, stared at him with blushing cheeks and asked.
Song Wu Shao was stunned. He did not answer Xu Miaomiao's words. Instead, he talked about another matter: "You must have heard what we said today."
"Yes, I heard it."
Although a little drunk, Xu Miaomiao could still answer a few of Song Wushao's questions. Looking at Song Wushao, she continued, "Dabao also asked me this question just now. I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let him follow Nangong Jin."
"Don't worry."
Song Wushao stared at Xu Miaomiao, his eyes rarely tinged with tenderness, but the next moment he returned to his usual coldness: "Nangong Jin must have used some tricks to secure his position as the number one minister in the Southern Dynasty, but he is also a man who values friendship and loyalty, otherwise he wouldn't have carried so much pressure from so many people and supported that fainted and incompetent prince."
"So he won't let Dabao get involved in your dispute? But what's going on now?"
"I don't know either." Song Wushao immediately responded to Xu Miaomiao's words and said, "But Nangong Jin will definitely not let Dabao be our enemy. Even if he is willing, the prince will definitely not be willing to let my son do anything. Only Dabao will believe that Nangong Jin is really good to him and will not care about these things."
After listening to Song Wushao's words, Xu Miaomiao also felt that it made sense, but seeing the look in Song Wushao's eyes, she still muttered: "He is your own son after all, how dare you say that."
Pretending not to hear Xu Miaomiao's mumbling, Song Wushao approached gently and left a kiss on Xu Miaomiao's cheek. He looked at Xu Miaomiao and then spoke: "But I'm not sure about Li Yi. If you meet him, you'd better be careful. He may not help you."
"knew."
Xu Miaomiao was already a little sleepy. While answering Song Wushao's questions, she looked drowsy. Seeing her starting to doze off, Song Wushao simply tucked in the corner of the quilt and got up and left.
But as soon as he left, Xu Miaomiao, who had been sleeping soundly, immediately regained clarity in her eyes. In fact, those words just now still made Xu Miaomiao feel uneasy. Li Yi was also her apprentice, but unfortunately they had nothing to do and stayed together all the time. However, it was indeed a bit difficult for her to distance herself from her apprentice.
