Chapter 696 Meeting Xu Xi
Gu Yuanniang was also shocked when she heard what Madam Zhang said. She never thought that in her eyes, a human life could be so humble, let alone a baby in swaddling clothes. However, according to Madam Zhang's character, if they were not her closest and most trusted people, the lives of others would probably not matter to her.
Thinking of this, Gu Yuanniang's eyes dimmed twice, as if she noticed something was wrong with her. Xu Qingshan immediately put his hand on Gu Yuanniang's hand and gave her a comforting look. Only knowing the burning heat from his hand, Gu Yuanniang came to her senses slightly. Xu Qingshan stared at Madam Zhang and immediately said, "Mother, that is still a baby after all. How could you do this?"
Madam Zhang was a little confused when she heard Xu Qingshan's blame, so she looked at him with dissatisfaction and said, "What did I do? I've said it before, it was obviously not me who did it, it was them who did it, not Liu Juan. She ate those things and made her body like this, how could the child be like this? I have carefully protected her, but she still died, what does this have to do with me?"
When Madam Zhang said this, she looked at Gu Yuanniang beside her with a little guilt. Gu Yuanniang didn't say anything. This was fortunately because Xu Xi was no longer the Liu Juan of the past. Now she had no memories and probably wouldn't remember these things. But if she really remembered, she would not feel good about having a child who died so tragically.
As if she had noticed Gu Yuan's mother's worries, Xu Miaomiao lowered her head and did not speak. Although the child had nothing to do with them, it was delivered by Xu Miaomiao herself. She remembered that the child was very weak at the time, but fortunately, after her rescue, he managed to survive. But now that she heard that she was dead, she still felt sad.
Xu Qingshan took a deep breath and stopped discussing this matter with Madam Zhang. Instead, he looked at Madam Zhang and talked about another matter. He slowly said, "Mother, since the child is dead, that is his fate. We don't want it to happen, but why did you come to find Liu Juan again? It was you who left Liu Juan behind. Madam Xu took such good care of Liu Juan. Now you want Liu Juan to be his second wife just because of a woman in her seventies. What are you thinking?"
When Madam Zhang heard Xu Qingshan say this, her eyes immediately turned red. She looked at him as if questioning him, "Who am I doing all this for? It's all for you. If you hadn't done a better job, would I have gone around asking others for favors? Now that they are finally willing to give us a chance, are you going to let it slip away?"
Madam Zhang looked at Xu Qingshan with anger in her heart. Hearing these words, Xu Qingshan's face turned red and green, but he finally pursed his lips and said nothing.
Although Mrs. Zhang's behavior was indeed very absurd, Xu Miaomiao also knew clearly that she was doing it for the good of her child. Xu Xi was already her sister, so she had to ensure Xu Xi's safety. Xu Miaomiao was about to say something when there was a commotion outside. Everyone's eyes were immediately drawn in. They saw Xu Xi holding a pipa and holding Erbao's hand, staggering towards this side.
Seeing what happened to Xu Xi, Madam Zhang stepped forward in disbelief and looked at Xu Xi carefully. Xu Xi was originally a little afraid of strangers, and when he saw Madam Zhang looking at him like that, he shrank back in fear, hugged the pipa tighter in his hands, and said nothing.
Mrs. Zhang looked at the woman in front of her who looked like two different people, and for a moment she was unable to recognize her.
After a long while, he realized that it was the Liu Juan from before. She pulled his hand and said, "Now you are free and at ease, but do you remember who rescued you?"
Xu Xi was obviously startled by this and staggered back two steps. Er Bao immediately stood in front of Xu Xi and looked at Madam Zhang and said, "Why are you bullying her?"
Madam Zhang did not answer Erbao, but stared at Xu Xi in front of her with bloodshot eyes, as if she wanted to see a hole in his body. Looking at his appearance, Xu Xi was really scared and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Xu Xi, stretched out her hand to stop him, and then saw Madam Zhang said: "Madam, I'll say it again, there is no one you are looking for here, she is my sister Xu Xi, please be careful with your words and actions."
What Xu Miaomiao meant by saying this was that she didn't want Madam Zhang to say anything more and bring up all the previous events.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao so determined, Madam Zhang glanced at Xu Xi and stopped talking.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao immediately looked at Xu Xi, gently smoothed the clothes that had just been pulled by the woman, looked at her and said, "Are you okay?"
Xu Xi shook her head slightly. Erbao beside her pulled Xu Miaomiao and said, "I want to learn pipa from Aunt Xu Xi, so I wanted to come over and tell my mother."
Xu Miaomiao nodded and patted Erbao's head: "If Xiaoxi is willing to teach you, you can naturally learn it!"
After hearing Xu Miaomiao's answer, Xu Xi and Erbao smiled at each other and were about to turn around and leave, but Xu Xi seemed a little puzzled. He looked at Madam Zhang next to him, and left without saying anything.
Seeing the two of them leave, Xu Miaomiao heaved a sigh of relief, and then looked at Madam Zhang who was standing aside. This was good, the real trouble had just arrived. Madam Zhang had already met Xu Xi, so naturally she was unwilling to leave so easily. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and immediately said, "Thank you, Madam Xu, for taking care of her for me. I'll take her away now."
"Mother, don't you understand? Even if you really did that, I wouldn't go. What's the point of you trying to please the master? The master treats us as trash. You let Xu Xi marry him, a 70-year-old man. Are you crazy? Don't other people's lives count as lives?"
Hearing that Xu Qingshan didn't understand her, Madam Zhang became even more angry. She couldn't catch her breath and fell backwards. Seeing Madam Zhang so angry, Xu Qingshan also became anxious. He immediately went over and supported Madam Zhang. However, the angry person's cheeks were slightly red at this time, and she fell to the ground unconscious. For a while, the Song Mansion was in chaos, and Xu Miaomiao was also very panicked.
