The useless second daughter of the Hua family

Hua Miaomiao’s grandfather, General Weiyuan, is known as “Southern Miao and Northern Ling” together with the late General Protector of the Nation.

General Miao spent his entire life stationed in Huangsha City, defending against invasions and harassment of the people by bandits from the south.

He has one son and one daughter. The eldest son Miao Zhicheng has been following him in the army for many years. The daughter Miao Ruzhu met Hua Miaomiao's father when she was traveling in the rivers and lakes in her early years and married him. However, neither of them expected that they would never have the chance to meet again.

Hua Miaomiao lost her mother when she was young, and she longed for her grandfather's family. Ge Qinglan knew her concerns and specially added this place to her itinerary.

Hua Miaomiao was supported by Ge Qinglan and walked into the yard carefully, fearing that she would make any mistakes and be disrespectful in front of her mother's family.

Ge Qinglan did not expect that the person who came was a girl about the same age as Hua Miaomiao.

Miao Yizhu looked at Hua Miaomiao in front of him, and was surprised. When he was a child, he heard that his cousin was born into a noble family, and was the apple of the family's eye. Although they lost contact later, his grandfather could not hide his pride every time he mentioned the mother and daughter.

She had always thought he would be such a dazzling person, but she didn't expect him to be so ordinary, especially those lifeless eyes, which she seemed to have never heard anyone mention before.

"You are cousin Miaomiao, right? I am Miao Yizhu, the granddaughter of General Weiyuan, and also your cousin."

"Hello, cousin." Hua Miaomiao was a little nervous. She held Ge Qinglan's hand tightly.

"I received the news from my cousin yesterday and should have come here immediately. But my grandfather and father were out of town, and my mother was not in good health. I had to settle my mother first and make all the arrangements before coming to greet you all."

Hua Miaomiao felt a little ashamed because she had not had time to visit Ge Qinglan since she arrived in Huangsha City, but Ge Qinglan had remembered it.

"My cousin is too polite. We are all family. I hope I don't cause you any trouble."

Miao Yizhu grew up in the border area and spent a long time in the army when she was young. She was used to speaking and doing things in a straightforward manner. She rarely saw someone as soft and tender as Hua Miaomiao. In addition, she had a pair of pitiful eyes, and she immediately became more enthusiastic about her.

She went over and held Hua Miaomiao's hand, feeling her soft touch, and her love for her grew even stronger.

"Grandpa and father will be very happy to see you when they come back. Why don't you come with me now and I will prepare some wine and food to welcome you?"

Although Hua Miaomiao was not used to her enthusiasm, she still felt warm in her heart. This was the warmth of family, a true blood family. Even if it was the first time they met, she would not feel strange.

"Okay, after we pack up, we'll go back with you."

"Okay, okay." She helped Hua Miaomiao sit on a stone bench nearby. "Just sit still. I've brought some people with me. I'll call them in to clean up now."

After saying that, she ran out. Hua Miaomiao had a good impression of this cousin. Her lively and cheerful personality was quite likable.

"Ge Qinglan, thank you, I am very happy."

Ge Qinglan sat next to her, pulled her hands in front of him and kneaded them. Hua Miaomiao was happy, and he was happy too.

"Why are you being so polite to me? I can give you everything you want. There's still a lot of time to come. Just wait and see."

Pi Fu looked at the two people sticking together and felt very sad. How long can this life last?

"Let it be." Xiuzhu comforted.

Along the way on the carriage to the general's mansion, Hua Miaomiao truly felt the people's love for the Miao Army.

Miao Yizhu rode a tall horse in front to lead the way. Passers-by consciously made way for her and people greeted her from time to time. Miao Yizhu was not arrogant at all and greeted people cheerfully and chatted with them for a few words.

The people in the mansion had received the news and were already waiting outside the door. As soon as Hua Miaomiao got off the carriage, firecrackers exploded.

"This is your first time coming back, and you've brought your husband with you. It's a double happiness, so I think I should show some appreciation." Miao Yizhui explained.

Hua Miaomiao was touched by her enthusiasm and sincerity, and her previous uneasy heart was finally put at ease.

Miao Yizhu's mother, Li, had been waiting in the hall when she received the news from the servants. She was a woman from Jiangnan, and she was not used to this place after marrying here, and her body became weaker and weaker after giving birth. Miao Yizhu was reluctant to let her out at first, but the visitor was the child of her husband's most beloved sister after all, so she felt that she should come out to meet him.

"Mom, why did you come out? You'll feel uncomfortable again soon." Miao Yizhui walked forward to tighten her cloak and said disapprovingly.

Hua Miaomiao didn't know what was going on, so she could only quietly ask Pi Fu next to her.

"The lady doesn't look well, as if she has been ill for a long time."

"Is there any way you can cure it?"

"You can use magic, but if you want medical skills, you have to feel the pulse first."

"Then please."

Hua Miaomiao brought Ge Qinglan to visit her aunt. Li wanted to see her more, but she was coughing too badly, so Miao Yizhuo urged her to go back to her room.

Miao Yizhu looked at them apologetically, "I'm sorry, my mother is too weak to come and entertain you in person."

Ge Qinglan waved her hands and said, "Since we are a family, why do you have to be so distant?"

"Okay! Then everyone can be more casual." She put on a smile, took Hua Miaomiao's hand and walked outside, "I'll take you to the bedroom."

Because Wu Sang was injured, she was placed in the guest room after entering the mansion. Xiaoyu took care of her, and Zhao Xiaowu also stood by her side to prevent anyone from being available when she needed help.

Pi Fu came to change the bandage for him. The wound had already scabbed over and a layer of pink tender flesh had grown.

Miao Yizhu was amazed at how she could survive with such a wide and deep wound. She could not help but stand in awe of Pi Fu and knelt on the ground.

"Please, doctor, save my mother."

She kowtowed three times as if she had found a life-saving straw.

Everyone was startled by her sudden action and didn't react for a moment, so they just let her kneel there.

"Godly doctor, please help me." Miao Yizhu's voice was filled with tears. Her mother was injured when she gave birth to her, and now that there was hope, she was absolutely unwilling to give up.

Only then did Pi Fu realize that the miracle doctor she was talking about was referring to herself. She touched her nose awkwardly. She didn't consider herself a doctor. She just liked to study mortals. It was just that Ge Qinglan's medicine was good.

"You get up first. Miaomiao told me this in the hall. I will go see your mother, but I can't guarantee that I can cure her."

Ge Qinglan was afraid that she would say something discouraging again, so he immediately said, "That's right, you get up first. We are all family, it's awkward for you to be like this."

There were a room full of people, and a tearful little girl was kneeling in the middle. It always felt like someone was bullying her.

Miao Yizhu stood up, wiped her tears, and threw herself into Hua Miaomiao's arms, "Cousin, you are so kind."

She was already stronger than Hua Miaomiao and half a head taller than her. Now she was leaning in her arms like a little bird, and her look was really... hard to describe.

Hua Miaomiao stood there helplessly, allowing her to hug her. Ge Qinglan felt terrible.
