Chapter 652 Wang Mang Arrives
Seeing that it was getting a little dark, Xu Miaomiao got up and tidied up the things in the house, then brought some dishes and placed them on the table before sitting down.
Xu Qingshan stared at Song Wushao standing beside him and said jokingly, "I noticed that since Madam Xu came back, you, Brother Song, have been home more often."
Song Wu Shao lowered his eyebrows and smiled, without revealing any extra expression.
Xu Miaomiao blushed a little, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "Then Mr. Xu also goes home early every day just to see someone more."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao's words, Gu Yuan's mother also smiled, and frowned as she looked at Xu Miaomiao.
Xu Miaomiao, on the other hand, started to eat as if nothing had happened. Song Weiwei, who was standing beside her, propped up her head and stared blankly: "I am the only one in this family without a husband. How pitiful."
Hearing Song Weiwei's words, Xu Miaomiao paused. It was not that there was no one. All the people who had been introduced to her before were about to break down the threshold of her house, but Song Weiwei didn't see any of them. Others didn't understand what she was thinking, but Xu Miaomiao knew it very well. It was a pity that she might never be able to meet the person she wanted in this life.
While everyone was eating, Xu Miaomiao noticed a figure hiding behind the curtain, looking timidly in the direction of Xu Miaomiao and the others.
Gu Yuanniang and Xu Miaomiao looked at each other, obviously seeing that woman.
Song Wu Shao had already noticed it, but he still kept his head down and raised it with disdain.
Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang simply went out together and brought the woman to the garden.
Only then did Xu Miaomiao see the woman's appearance clearly. She couldn't be said to be particularly bright and beautiful, but she was definitely fresh and fresh.
The woman bowed to Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang, tears in her eyes, and said as she looked at them, "I, Lianzhi, would like to thank you for your kindness."
Xu Miaomiao and Gu Yuanniang immediately helped the young lady up, looked at her and said, "You don't have to thank me. It was just a coincidence that I saved you. Besides, what Wang Mang did was really wrong."
"But I was indeed wrong." The woman immediately looked at Xu Miaomiao and spoke.
She lifted up her dress and showed the scars on her body to others. Only then could Xu Miaomiao see clearly that her body was covered with scars, burns and bruises all over her skin.
It is hard to imagine how this woman survived in such an environment.
"Is this all caused by Wang Mang?" Gu Yuanniang asked in surprise.
Lianzhi nodded.
Seeing her agree, Gu Yuanniang became even more furious and slapped the tree beside her: "How ridiculous! Even if Cui Yuan hated me before, he wouldn't dare to treat me like this. This Wang Mang is really lawless."
"Don't worry, Liu Niang. I'll ask Wang Mang and Village Chief Wang to come to the mansion together. I'll naturally find a way to cure him when the time comes."
After hearing what Xu Miaomiao said, Gu Yuanniang nodded in relief. She thought that people like Wang Mang should be dealt with properly to prevent him from becoming lawless.
"But you, Lianzhi, are you going to do anything in the future?"
Xu Miaomiao stared at the young lady in front of her and asked. Lian Zhi suddenly knelt down. Xu Miaomiao was startled and wanted to help him up, but Lian Zhi was stubborn and refused to stand up. He said to Xu Miaomiao, "Please help me, lady."
Xu Miaomiao stared at Lianzhi, exchanged a glance with Gu Yuanniang, and didn't want Lianzhi to say anything more.
Just listened carefully to Lianzhi's words.
I was originally a little girl from Mi Village. My parents liked boys. Although life was a little hard, we could still make ends meet. However, there was no harvest this year, so my family suffered a little, so they married me to Wang Mang. I had a husband before. Although his family didn't have much money, he was kind to me and generous. I told my parents about it, but the money the Wang family gave was too much, so I married him."
Lian Zhi took a deep breath and spoke haltingly, "A few days ago, Wang Mang was nice to me and we got along well. But later he beat me for various reasons, saying that I didn't cook well, that the house was unclean, and even if I sat for a while, he would say the same thing. But fortunately, with the help of Village Chief Wang, I was able to live well. I thought the days would just pass by like this."
"But one day my husband came to me and saw the wounds on my body. He wanted to take me away. Although I wanted to get rid of him, I couldn't escape like this, so I refused. I just said a few more words to him. Wang Mang saw me and took me back. At that time, I also met Village Chief Wang. He said he would take me back to my mother's house. I thought it was okay."
"But my parents refused to take me in, so Village Chief Wang had no choice but to take me away, saying that he would give me some silver in a few days and let me leave on my own. But when I waited, I was locked up by Wang Mang, who even told him that I had escaped on my own. I was really resentful, but there was nothing I could do."
Lianzhi was crying so pitifully at this moment that people couldn't help but feel distressed. Although Gu Yuanniang had heard Xu Miaomiao talk about these things before, she was still shocked when she heard it again. She never expected to encounter such a thing.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Gu Yuan's mother was about to cry, but Xu Miaomiao next to her remained calm and looked at Lianzhi before speaking.
"My dear, I have a place to go. My husband doesn't mind me being married before, but my scars all over my body are really scary. I know you are a very good doctor. Please help me."
"That's easy."
Xu Miaomiao nodded, helped Lianzhi up from the ground, looked at her and said, "I can see the injury, but I can't guarantee how well it will heal."
"Thank you, ma'am."
"Madam Lianzhi, you have been through something like this, so you should be careful. Your husband may not be sincere to you."
Gu Yuanniang couldn't help but remind the woman in front of her, "Even if your husband is sincere to you, his family may not accept you."
Perhaps because this lady's experience was 80% similar to her own, Gu Yuanniang couldn't help but say a few more words.
The woman bowed slightly to Gu Yuanniang and said, "Thank you for your help, my husband has no parents. He has passed away since he was a child, so he won't have the problem you mentioned. As for sincerity, life is a gamble. I am willing to believe that he and I are sincere. Even if the result is not satisfactory, even if it is the same ending as this time, I will accept my fate. This time, I chose the ending myself, and I don't regret it."
Gu Yuanniang was stunned by these words and did not continue speaking.
