Things have now become like this, but Wang Mang just doesn't mind making a big deal. He seems to have inexplicable confidence in this matter, and he is not timid at all when talking to Xu Miaomiao and the others. He is obviously living in someone else's home and should live his life carefully, but he doesn't want to. He raises his chin smugly and looks at Xu Miaomiao, as if he is demonstrating.
Xu Miaomiao was dissatisfied, but she did not speak. Gu Yuanniang beside her was also silent. Now that Honglu had not yet married, he had indeed lost his innocence. If he had received a divorce letter, it would have been fine, and he could be said to have been married. But now he did not even have this, and he was being hurt in vain. There was no other better way.
But Honglu obviously wanted to compromise on this matter, but Hongliu looked at Wang Mang's ignorant look and felt that she could not let herself be ruined by such a person for no reason, so she protected Honglu behind her.
Wang Mang, who was lying on the bed, saw him like this and gave him a look of dissatisfaction. He tutted and said, "Who are you doing this for? It was you who was twisting and turning on the bed yesterday. Now you look like you've been bullied. How could I have wronged you?"
"Shut up."
When Hongliu heard this, she immediately scolded Wang Mang, hoping that he would take back what he had said. However, Honglu had obviously heard it and pulled Hongliu's clothes tighter.
When Xu Miaomiao heard these unbearable words, her brows furrowed. Gu Yuanniang was naturally dissatisfied as well. She had never liked Wang Mang in the first place. Because the village chief lived in their house, Gu Yuanniang had driven this man out a long time ago. But now she insisted on keeping him at home and taking good care of him. He really didn't know how long this kind of leisure would last. Even the girl who had always been with him became like this. Gu Yuanniang was naturally dissatisfied with him a thousand and ten thousand times, but these things still had to be seen by Honglu.
Although Xu Miaomiao took them into the Song Mansion and distributed silver to them every day, the indentures were not in his hands after all, so they still had to decide what to do next.
Hong Lu didn't say a word. She suddenly knelt on the ground crying. Her eyes were filled with tears. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam, please save me. People say that you are a hero of our people. You solved two plagues. A woman holds up half the sky. You are like the Bodhisattva Guanyin who came down to earth. Please have pity on me and save me too!"
Xu Miaomiao looked at Honglu who was kneeling on the ground. He was indeed pitiful, but not worthy of sympathy. If he was really scared, he should have told him immediately when such a thing happened for the first time. However, this era was different from his original era after all, and people's thoughts were also different. Xu Miaomiao had to stand in his perspective and consider things for him, so she did not say anything.
Xu Miaomiao looked at him with eyes full of sympathy. Seeing this, Gu Yuanniang on the side pulled Xu Miaomiao's sleeve and nodded at him.
Hong Liu and Hong Lu had been with them for quite some time. They had been there both times when Madam Zhang came. Now that something like this had happened to them, it was because Xu Miaomiao had brought them to the mansion. Naturally, there was no reason for Xu Miaomiao to ignore them. She just sighed, looked at Hong Lu and said, "Now your sister and..."
Xu Miaomiao glanced at Wang Mang, sighed, and continued, "What are you thinking in your heart?"
Wang Mang smiled while lying on the bed, not caring at all, and said with a shrill voice: "What else can he think of? Of course he should marry me. Besides marrying me, what other options does he have? Of course he should marry me, or be a concubine. It has to be me. After all, I have always been a little maid in the Song Mansion."
Honglu listened to Wang Mang's insults, but still knelt on the ground and looked at Xu Miaomiao pleadingly. Xu Miaomiao did not listen to Wang Mang's words, but looked at Honglu instead.
"Madam, now I have only one way to go."
Xu Miaomiao sighed when she heard this. She knew what he was talking about. It was nothing more than marrying Wang Mang. But marrying Wang Mang was not a good thing. After all, she still remembered the fate of Wang Mang's previous wife. Looking at Honglu, Xu Miaomiao immediately said, "Okay, but we need to clarify one thing. When you suddenly fainted here, did you really do it voluntarily?"
When Wang Mang heard this, his eyes darkened and he suddenly looked at Xu Miaomiao. Hong Lu seemed to have been hit on something. He sat down on the ground, shaking his head and muttering, "I don't know. I don't know anything. I don't know anything."
Seeing her sister suffering, Hong Liu was unwilling to kneel down immediately. She looked at Xu Miaomiao with a serious expression and said, "Please understand, Madam, when my sister was delivering food to Wang Meng, you gave me two pieces of cakes, so I wanted to taste them with my sister, but when I opened the door, my sister was sitting on the bed crying, and Wang Mang was still saying insulting words beside her. This was definitely not my sister's will."
Hongliu said this with certainty. He knew very well what kind of person his sister was. Although she was lively, clever and a little bold, she would never do such a thing. Moreover, that man was a despicable person like Wang Mang. Apart from being forced, Hongliu could not think of any other reason. The reason that happened later was that no one except Wang Mang was willing to accept him, so she agreed to Wang Mang's request. But now someone was making the decision for them, and they would never let this matter go.
Listening to Hongliu's words, Xu Miaomiao nodded, looked at Honglu again, and said, "What happened that night?"
Hong Liu had already sobbed so hard that she couldn't make a sound. Wang Mang, who was standing beside her, was afraid that he would say something, so he immediately said, "Didn't you hear anything? He wanted to marry me on his own initiative. Is there any point in you still talking about this?"
Wang Mang immediately started to scold him. Xu Miaomiao did not say anything. Instead, she squinted her eyes and looked at Wang Mang beside her: "I think I haven't had time to give acupuncture to Mr. Wang for a long time. Mr. Wang, who are you? What are you doing in the Song Mansion? You have no idea at all. Do you need me to remind you?"
Xu Miaomiao's eyes had changed at this time. How many times would this kind of rubbish have to happen in their house before they would stop? At this time, his patience had long been worn out.
