Looking at the documents on the table, Xu Qingshan seemed to have made up his mind. He picked up the things, looked at Xu Miaomiao firmly and said, "I do."
When Xu Miaomiao saw him pick up the things, she nodded, turned and left, telling him that they would meet at the department store at midnight tonight.
Seeing that Xu Qingshan had made sense here, the next step was to tell Gu Yuanniang about it. When Gu Yuanniang heard that Xu Miaomiao had gone to find Xu Qingshan, she was a little shocked and looked at Xu Miaomiao in disbelief: "You are crazy!"
Gu Yuanniang pulled Xu Miaomiao and said, "This is in the capital. If you break into the inner house and get caught, you will be sentenced to death!"
"I don't care about the death penalty anymore." Xu Miaomiao looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "You just need to tell me, do you still want to be with Xu Qingshan? If you do, I have already arranged a way out for you. You just need to meet him tonight and leave together tomorrow."
When Gu Yueniang heard this, her pupils trembled. I don't know what she was thinking: "Of course I do, but if I leave, what will happen to Ling'er? Will he follow me forever? When he grows up and asks who Xu Qingshan is, how can I explain it to him?"
Xu Miaomiao heard this and took Gu Yuanniang's hand and said, "You have already paid too much for Ling'er. Don't you want to live for yourself now? You finally met someone who truly loves you, but are you willing to watch him marry someone else?"
Gu Yuanniang wanted to speak, but the words remained stuck in her mouth and she was silent for a moment.
Seeing that she could not persuade him, Xu Miaomiao simply continued, "Today, when I saw Xu Qingshan, he was skinny and had dark circles under his eyes. I'm afraid he won't be alive for many days if he continues like this. He is just a weak scholar, and he has done so much for you. Can't you think about him?"
Sure enough, when Xu Qingshan was mentioned, Gu Yuanniang's expression relaxed a little. She looked at Xu Miaomiao and continued, "If we leave, what will you do? What about this department store? Now people outside are eyeing us covetously. This is a time when we need manpower. I can't just leave you behind."
Xu Miaomiao was stunned by Gu Yuanniang's persistence. She sighed helplessly, looked at Gu Yuanniang and said, "This department store is gone, but as long as the one in Bai County is still there, we can continue to run it. You have to think clearly. If you miss this opportunity, there will be no possibility for you and Xu Qingshan. Don't you want to fight for him and for yourself?"
Crystal clear tears flowed from Gu Yuanniang's eyes. Looking at Xu Miaomiao's appearance, she finally nodded firmly.
"You're right. Qingshan has done so much for me. I can't let him down. This time I'm willing to go out with him and give it a try."
"good!"
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang agreed, Xu Miaomiao hurried to help her pack the bags. At midnight, she and Song Weiwei drove a carriage to meet under the tree as originally agreed.
Sure enough, he saw Xu Qingshan waiting there.
Seeing Xu Qingshan's thin appearance, Gu Yuanniang's heart tightened and tears flowed unconsciously. She immediately got off the carriage and hugged Xu Qingshan.
She stroked his cheek gently with her fingertips and said with some heartache: "I've wronged you these days."
Xu Qingshan hugged Gu Yuanniang tighter and said, "I'm not wronged. As long as I can be with you, I'm happy."
Seeing that the two had met successfully, Xu Miaomiao and Song Weiwei took them to the department store together.
At midnight, the city gates are closed. If you want to go out, no matter how early you go, you have to wait until tomorrow.
Now that they have been able to meet successfully, they will probably be able to leave the city tomorrow. Tonight, they will have to stay in the department store for another night.
Knowing that they would be leaving tomorrow, Gu Yuanniang was still somewhat reluctant and pulled Xu Miaomiao and Song Weiwei to talk.
"I don't know when I'll be back after we leave tomorrow, so you all have to take good care of yourselves. Especially Weiwei, you have to be very careful in the future, don't let others use you as a tool."
Song Weiwei listened to Gu Yuanniang's instructions, nodded, tears streaming down her face, and she pulled Gu Yuanniang's arm and said, "Sixth Mother, I can't bear to leave you!" Gu
Yue Niang's heart tightened. The three sisters had gone through so much hardship all the way from Bai County to here, and only they knew it best. Now that it was time to separate, she was also the most reluctant and cried together with Song Weiwei.
Xu Miaomiao was relatively calm and quickly planned a route for them.
"Although you are eloping this time, the Xu family will definitely not let you go. They will send people out to look for you. Just follow this route and you will definitely be able to get rid of them."
Gu Yuanniang picked up the drawing that Xu Miaomiao had drawn and nodded, but she was worried and said, "If we leave, that lady Zhang will definitely come to the department store to cause trouble. What will you do then?"
Xu Miaomiao patted Gu Yuanniang's hand and motioned her to rest assured: "Don't worry, I already have a plan. Now as long as you leave safely, this is the most important thing."
Seeing Xu Miaomiao say this, Gu Yuanniang had no reason to continue speaking and nodded. The person she trusted most in her life was Xu Miaomiao.
The night passed in a flash, and soon it was the next morning. In order to avoid crowds, Xu Miaomiao specifically told them to leave the city early. But just as they were about to step out of the department store, the man walking towards them made Gu Yuanniang's heart move.
Xu Miaomiao saw Gu Yuanniang standing there in a daze, and immediately stepped forward and asked in confusion: "Why don't you leave, Liu Niang? If you don't leave now, it will be too late."
Seeing that Gu Yuanniang did not answer her, she followed Gu Yuanniang's gaze. It didn't matter that she looked, but when she saw the person who came, Xu Miaomiao was also stunned. This person was none other than Cui Yuan, Mr. Cui from Bai County.
When Cui Yuan saw Gu Yuan's mother, he smiled and walked over to her: "Yuan's mother, long time no see. How is Ling'er? He has learned to speak now. As a father, I miss him very much."
Seeing that Gu Yuan's mother didn't say anything, Cui Yuan took a step forward and wanted to pull her, but Gu Yuan's mother was blocked by Xu Qingshan. Xu Qingshan stretched out an arm and protected Gu Yuan's mother behind him.
When Cui Yuan saw Xu Qingshan, he glared at him unhappily and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, where did this pretty boy come from? How dare you block my way?"
Gu Yueniang was also unhappy when she heard Cui Yuan humiliating Xu Qingshan like this, and continued, "You are not allowed to say that about him."
Seeing Gu Yueniang defending Xu Qingshan, Cui Yuan became even angrier. He pointed at Gu Yuanniang and continued, "I heard that you were involved with a man in the capital. I thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true, you slut!"
After hearing what Gu Yuan's mother said, Song Weiwei behind her immediately became unhappy. She took a step forward and wanted to push Cui Yuan, but was pushed back by the servant beside Cui Yuan.
Seeing Song Weiwei staggering two steps, Xu Miaomiao immediately stepped forward to steady the woman.
