Chapter 697: Angry
For Madam Zhang, being able to protect her husband and children and secure a good official position for them would be good for them.
But Xu Qingshan didn't want these. Xu Miaomiao wanted to tell him that she really couldn't explain it, so she could only greet them. Xu Qingshan was also a little anxious. Seeing Xu Miaomiao coming out of the door, he immediately took her hand and said, "Is my mother okay?"
Seeing Xu Qingshan so anxious, Xu Miaomiao immediately shook her head and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little angry. I'll be fine after a rest. I've asked the servants to prescribe some medicine. I'll be fine."
Hearing Xu Miaomiao say this, Gu Yuanniang breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the person is okay, that's fine."
But Xu Qingshan did sit on the ground with some self-blame in his heart: "My father used to only like to study books and didn't pay much attention to me. It can be said that my mother brought me up from childhood to adulthood. I never thought that one day she would get sick because of me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanniang squatted on the ground and held Xu Qingshan's hand, comforting him as Xu Qingshan had comforted her in the past, and said, "This matter is not your fault. Madam, what you did was wrong in the first place. Besides, I know Qingshan has his own ambitions, so naturally, he won't just let it go. It's just that Madam Zhang doesn't understand it yet. When you have accomplished great deeds, Madam Zhang will naturally understand it."
Hearing Gu Yuan's mother comforting him like this, Xu Qingshan smiled as a response to her. Looking at the two of them, Xu Miaomiao raised his head and shook it, then walked outside.
Originally they thought they could live a peaceful life for two days, but now it seems that they can't live a single day longer. Madam Zhang came here to make such a fuss, and in a couple of days she will have to go to the capital to find a shop and reopen the department store. Gu Yuan's mother must be suffering at home, but they can't just drive Madam Zhang away.
And the last time, Xu Xi went to Nanxiang, and she took Xu Xi with her, which caused all those things to happen to her. But seeing the current situation, she had to take Xu Xi with her again.
Xu Miaomiao sighed and stared at the willow tree outside in a daze, but his movement was noticed by Song Wushao behind him. Song Wushao immediately stepped forward and hugged Xu Miaomiao's waist, resting his chin on her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you sighing? Did you encounter something unpleasant?"
Without waiting for Xu Miaomiao's answer, Song Wushao continued, "I heard that Brother Xu's mother is here. This lady is not someone you can easily meet. You better be careful."
Listening to Song Wushao's words, Xu Miaomiao immediately turned over, put her hands on Song Wushao's shoulders, looked at him and said, "You are the eldest husband, you should not get involved in these things in the deep house, I have my own way to solve it. Although Madam Zhang is not easy to meet, she loves children after all. With Xu Qingshan protecting Liu Niang, Liu Niang will be fine. Besides, Madam Zhang is just eager for her son to become a dragon. It's a pity that Mr. Xu has his own plans in his heart, or he doesn't know. Anyway, with Mr. Xu around, Liu Niang will not be harmed. But you, now you are already a county magistrate, how can you be so relaxed? You were very busy before, why are you idle these two days?"
Song Wu Shao sighed, looked at Xu Miaomiao, and continued, "I am not free, this Bai County is a border area, it is the most important. Do you think that since I am the fifth prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be so relaxed and let me become the new county magistrate?"
"So what you mean is..."
Song Wu Shao nodded: "There are many eyes watching me in the sky. Sometimes if I don't pretend to be real, I will be exposed!"
After hearing the meaning behind Song Wushao's words, Xu Miaomiao didn't say anything else and just smiled at him.
After Mrs. Zhang fell ill, she stayed in bed for several days.
Xu Qingshan still had to teach during the day, so Gu Yuanniang watched over Xu Nianmiao while making medicine for Madam Zhang. But even so, she was not well received.
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao became more and more dissatisfied. She felt that Gu Yuanniang was just trying to please someone who was not accepted by her. However, it seemed that this was the case between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
There was no one at Song Wushao's house at noon, so he didn't have to endure such anger anymore. But Gu Yuan's mother was different. She really wanted to continue living a good life with Xu Qingshan. Since the blood relationship could not be severed, she had to bear it.
Fortunately, Xu Qingshan still sided with Gu Yuanniang in his heart. Sometimes when Madam Zhang made some excessive demands, Xu Qingshan would speak up for Gu Yueniang when he heard them. Xu Miaomiao would then feel more at ease. While coaxing Xu Nianmiao, she waited for Gu Yuanniang in the yard. As usual, when she heard the sound of a bowl breaking, Gu Yuanniang sighed and walked out.
Seeing that her skirt was soaked by the medicine, Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward and said, "Aunt Zhang is making things difficult for you again?"
Gu Yuan's mother shook her head. "It's okay. If my child ran away with someone and came to a place like this, I would definitely not want to do that. I'm afraid that he would do something even worse than he did. I should bear the anger. Besides, I know that my mother has no ill intentions. She just hopes that Qingshan can be better. Why should I be angry with him? He has suffered for half his life. It's not easy for him to enjoy his life today, but we haven't been able to let him enjoy it. She has been running around like this. Although some of the things she did were wrong, it was all for Qingshan's future and for the Xu family. How can I blame him?"
Xu Miaomiao didn't say much after hearing what Gu Yuanniang said. He just lowered his head and stopped talking. Xu Nianmiao in his arms was also smiling at him. Gu Yuanniang smiled and teased the child in her arms. Then she remembered something and looked at Xu Miaomiao and asked, "Aren't you going to the capital? Have you decided on a date?"
Xu Miaomiao nodded: "It is indeed time to go. The first thing to do when going to the capital this time is to open a department store. Another thing is to buy some seeds. I will go and take a look at our land tomorrow. Some places are suitable for growing grapes, apples, and other fruits, but some places are not suitable for growing these. I will study it further and bring everything back when the time comes."
When Gu Yuanniang heard what Xu Miaomiao said, she nodded, but then looked inside the house worriedly.
