Chapter 88 Reconciliation
"Ahem." The man coughed twice and said, "Since you are so sensible, I think it's just some misunderstanding with the concubine. Don't worry."
Hearing the man's answer, Xu Miaomiao bowed slightly and turned to leave.
With Dongdong here, Chunhe probably won’t have time to cause trouble for himself.
Xu Miaomiao was about to leave the house when she was stopped by someone.
The maid bowed respectfully to Xu Miaomiao and said, "Madam Xu, the old lady wants to see you."
Xu Miaomiao nodded slightly and left with the maid. She unexpectedly saw Chunhe kneeling in the yard as punishment.
She was just wondering why she didn't see Chunhe, it turned out that he was punished to kneel.
Before Xu Miaomiao entered, she heard a burst of rapid coughing, and the smell of medicine filled her nose.
She seemed fine the last time I saw her, but I didn’t expect the old lady to be so seriously ill.
Seeing Xu Miaomiao, the woman stood up and said, "How is Ling'er doing recently?"
"Don't worry, old lady. Liu Niang has made him plump and white."
"Ahem, that's good."
As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help coughing twice.
Xu Miaomiao noticed the blood on the handkerchief with her sharp eyes: "How about I take Madam's pulse?"
"I know you are a good doctor, but let's forget it." The old lady waved at Xu Miaomiao and said, "The doctor said that you don't have much time left."
Seeing this, Xu Miaomiao was speechless for a moment.
"Before I die, I want to see Ling'er and Yuanniang. Please help me give them a message."
Xu Miaomiao bowed her head slightly: "Miaomiao will definitely bring it to you."
Seeing that the old lady looked tired, Xu Miaomiao didn't want to disturb her any longer. She turned around and left, telling Gu Yuanniang all the words.
Gu Yuanniang was helping Ling'er learn to walk. When she heard this, she immediately picked up the child and looked at Xu Miaomiao: "That's right, we should go and see."
"Then tomorrow, I will go with you, Liu Niang."
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao and smiled with relief.
"Madam, the young master is here."
Mammy said beside her.
The woman on the bed suddenly regained consciousness and slowly stood up. She coughed twice and straightened up: "Ling'er, let grandma take a look."
Gu Yuanniang took a step closer, and the old lady carefully reached out her hand to touch the child's cheek.
Ling'er in his arms was also amused and started laughing.
Xu Miaomiao was happy for Gu Yuan's mother when she saw the harmonious scene of the family.
Mr. Cui, who was standing nearby, also came over for a rare visit and teased Ling'er when he saw her.
If the man had not accepted the woman she gave him yesterday, she would have almost believed his affectionate look.
"I came to you at this time because I have something else to tell you."
As she spoke, the nanny beside her took Ling'er.
The old lady took Gu Yuanniang's hand and placed it on the man's hand beside her, saying earnestly: "Sixth Mother, I know that it is my son who has let you down, but I still hope that you will be well and give Ling'er a complete family. You don't want Ling'er to be without a father, do you?"
"lady……"
Gu Yuanniang stood there stiffly, wanting to stretch out her finger, but she didn't want to disappoint the old lady, so she was in a dilemma.
The sun slowly rose and it was time for the old lady to take a nap, so they didn't want to disturb her.
"Yuan Niang, I am sorry for you. Can we live a good life from now on?"
Mr. Cui looked at Gu Yuanniang affectionately and said that without Gu Yuanniang, Chunhe could not manage the affairs of the mansion well and had a big quarrel with her because of Dongdong's matter. If Gu Yuanniang was there, the problem would be easier to solve.
Gu Yuanniang held Ling'er in her arms and was speechless for a moment, unable to make a decision.
“Crash——”
The woman swept all the teacups off the table, making a loud clinking sound.
"Why did that Gu Yuanniang come back?"
His chest rose and fell with the woman's breath, and he paced back and forth in the room peacefully.
"Replying to my young lady." The maid at the side suddenly spoke to Chunhe, "I also heard that it was the old lady who asked her to come back and reconcile with the master."
"Impossible!" Chun Heqi's eyes widened and he said with a ferocious expression: "As long as I am here, I will never let her come back!"
After taking two deep breaths, Chun He came to his senses, holding the handkerchief tightly in his hand: "It must be Xu Miaomiao's idea again. Why does she always go against me? I will never let her go!"
The maidservant beside was frightened by Chunhe's appearance and hid aside without saying a word.
"Sixth Lady, what do you think?"
The two of them strolled in the garden.
Xu Miaomiao heard almost everything that was said just now. No matter what decision Gu Yuanniang made, she would support it.
"I, I don't know."
Gu Yuanniang looked at the sleeping child in her arms and hugged him tighter.
The high walls and the rules of the mansion made her feel suffocated. If possible, she would like to live a life like Xu Miaomiao, with her own life and her own career.
During the time she lived with Xu Miaomiao, she felt unprecedented happiness.
Looking at her appearance, Xu Miaomiao put his hand on hers and said, "No matter what you do, I support you."
"When my mother was around, I relied on my father for my living. Later, my stepmother came and it was the same. I thought that women had to rely on men in this life, but then I met you. You are free and unrestrained, and dare to do things that other women dare not do. I followed you and had my own life for the first time."
Gu Yuanniang looked at Xu Miaomiao with a firm look in her eyes: "I don't want to go back, but this will only make Ling'er feel sorry for him and make him lack the care of his father."
"But it would be unfair to him if he grew up in a family without love."
As she spoke, Xu Miaomiao took Gu Yuanniang's hand and said, "This world is too prejudiced against women. If possible, I also hope that you can be yourself without caring about other people's opinions, and just be the Gu Yuanniang who dares to love and hate."
“Miaomiao…”
Gu Yuanniang's eyes were filled with mist, her nose felt sore, and she looked at Xu Miaomiao, unable to speak.
"You're right." Gu Yuanniang sniffed and looked at Xu Miaomiao and said, "Women should also have their own lives. I want to be selfish and live for myself!"
"Um!"
The two of them told the old lady their decision in a firm tone.
When the old lady heard her decision, she just sighed deeply and shook her head helplessly: "If that's the case, then forget it."
"Madam..." Gu Yuanniang looked at the woman's haggard face and felt a little guilty.
"You are brave women. You have done things that many people dare not do. You are very similar to me when I was young, very similar..."
The old lady's voice became smaller and smaller, until she finally let go of Gu Yuanniang's hand, and then they reacted.
Mrs. Cui is no longer with us...
“Mother, mother!”
Mr. Cui, who was standing by, also had tears in his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
He then looked at Gu Yuanniang pleadingly: "Yuanniang, please stay. Ling'er can't be without a father."
Gu Yuanniang bowed slightly to Old Lady Cui and said, "I have made up my mind. Mr. Cui, please take care of yourself."
