Chapter 448 Liu Juan is sorry
When Liu Juan heard this, she smiled, nodded to Xu Miaomiao, and said, "How can it be considered a trouble? I would love to do these things for Madam Xu."
Xu Miaomiao listened to Liu Juan's words without saying anything. Liu Juan didn't get a response, and was a little embarrassed. She smiled and saw that the woman in front of her didn't move. Xu Miaomiao stepped forward and said, "It's getting late. The coming and going of people in the department store is really annoying. Madam Liu, why don't you go back first?"
When Liu Juan heard this, she naturally understood that Xu Miaomiao wanted to get rid of her, but she was embarrassed. When Xu Miaomiao was about to speak, she saw that Xu Miaomiao was a little unhappy, so she could only nod awkwardly and said, "I think it's about time. In that case, I'll go back first."
Hearing this, Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Juan then walked forward slowly. When she was still a few meters away from the door, she stopped again, turned her head to look at Xu Miaomiao, and said, "It's getting late anyway, why don't you go back with Madam Xu? It's good to have a companion."
Seeing Liu Juan's expectant eyes, Xu Miaomiao sighed and couldn't refuse. She nodded and put the account book aside. She looked at Liu Juan and said, "Okay, since there's nothing else to do now, I'll go back with you."
When Liu Juan heard this, she smiled happily. She waited for Xu Miaomiao in silence by the side, packed up her things, and followed him away. The two of them got on the carriage together. Although the carriage was not big, it was more than enough to accommodate two people. Xu Miaomiao leaned quietly aside, closed her eyes and meditated. She really didn't want to say a few more words to Liu Juan.
Liu Juan really didn't take it seriously. She sat aside and wanted to talk to Xu Miaomiao from time to time: "Madam Xu, what made you determined to open a shop as a woman? After all, this is unheard of in our Southern Dynasty."
Xu Miaomiao slowly opened her eyes when she heard this, and when she saw him, she said, "There is nothing firm or unsteady about it. It's just that life was too hard back then, and now that I have this way of doing business, I just want to start it."
"So that's how it is."
Liu Juan nodded. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Miaomiao closed her eyes again, leaned aside and said, "I'm a little tired. I'll take a nap first. Madam Liu, call me when we get back to the house."
Xu Miaomiao had said this to the point, so Liu Juan had no choice but to agree and nodded slowly, sitting quietly aside. Xu Miaomiao didn't want to talk to him much, and he naturally knew it, but for some reason, after what happened, he still felt a little dissatisfied. He slowly pinched the scroll in his hand, looking at the woman opposite him, gritting his teeth. She would make them pay the price for despising her today.
Liu Juan thought viciously that the department store was not far away and they would soon arrive at the Song Mansion. The carriage slowly stopped there. Liu Juan patted Xu Miaomiao on the shoulder gently. Xu Miaomiao suddenly opened her eyes and almost fell asleep. It seemed that she had been too busy in the past two days.
"Now that we're here, let's go down together."
Xu Miaomiao took the initiative to speak, Liu Juan nodded, and got off the carriage with Xu Miaomiao. When she just got off the carriage, Xu Miaomiao was about to walk forward, but Liu Juan followed her closely, as if wanting to hold her hand. Xu Miaomiao frowned and quickened her pace, but Liu Juan behind her also quickly caught up.
Xu Miaomiao was a little confused about Liu Juan's actions, until she saw Gu Yuanniang in the hall. Xu Miaomiao suddenly realized that Gu Yuanniang saw that Liu Juan and Xu Miaomiao came back together. Her brows slightly frowned, but then turned into joy. She took Xu Miaomiao's hand and said, "Miaomiao, you're back. You've been busy in the department store all day today. You must be exhausted, right?"
Xu Miaomiao shook her head at Gu Yuanniang. Before she could say anything, Liu Juan at the side spoke first: "That's right. When I went to see Madam Xu, she was sitting there sighing. I was saying that today's food was too salty. I must ask them to put less salt in it tomorrow. Otherwise, Madam Xu will be unable to eat after just two bites. But today's Wang Buren was really scary. I don't know how Madam Xu dealt with him when he repeatedly came to cause trouble."
Gu Yuanniang frowned slightly when she heard this. Was Liu Juan claiming sovereignty over her now? She even wanted to snatch away Xu Miaomiao, her best friend. When Gu Yuanniang thought of this, she felt a flash of pain in her heart. Xu Miaomiao seemed to have sensed Gu Yuanniang's thoughts. She patted Gu Yuanniang's hand gently and whispered in her ear: "The food she sent was not delicious, so I only tasted two bites. Next time, you should just send someone to deliver it to me."
When Gu Yuanniang heard this, she smiled slightly and nodded at Xu Miaomiao. However, Liu Juan saw the two of them whispering to each other. She unconsciously pinched the donation cloth in her hand and stared at the two people in front of her fiercely. But when Xu Miaomiao set her eyes on Liu Juan, Liu Juan immediately retracted her gaze, looked at the two of them without a trace of impurities, smiled frankly, and spoke.
"I don't know when Mr. Xu will come back. The lady is still looking forward to me giving birth to a big fat boy for the Xu family. Mr. Xu won't come back for two or three days. How can I do it alone?"
Liu Juan seemed to be sighing. Speaking of this matter, after all, she had never met Xu Qingshan properly since she was sent here, let alone giving birth to a child. They hadn't even held hands. Naturally, she was very regretful. When Xu Miaomiao heard this, he subconsciously looked at Gu Yuan's mother, fearing that Gu Yuan's mother was sad. Unfortunately, he didn't see it. He only saw Gu Yuan's mother's expression was cold, and she looked at Liu Juan and spoke.
"Indeed, the eldest lady sent you here to expand the Xu family. It is not a good idea to keep dragging it on like this. Why don't you come to the room to find Qingshan when he comes back today? I will vacate the room for you. How about that?"
When Liu Juan heard this, she immediately looked at Gu Yuanniang with a smile on her face and nodded at her: "Thank you very much for your help, Madam."
Liu Juan then looked at Gu Yuanniang with a regretful expression and said, "But if we really do this, wouldn't we be ashamed of the Madam? Young lady, you even have to make room for me. How can I feel good about this? How can I and Mr. Xu feel embarrassed about this?"
