Ye Shuo's reaction was truly exaggerated. After beating himself up, he hurriedly looked for his luggage and then used the fastest speed to take out two letters to give to Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu respectively.

"Third Uncle, Mother said that I must personally deliver this letter to you. Furthermore, I must wait for your reply before returning to the capital."

Ye Shuo looked at how serious Xu Shiqiu was speaking, which also made Xu Shiqiu, who had originally planned to look at the letter again, become curious about the letter his sister had written him.

He took the letter Ye Shuo sent over, and glanced at the envelope first before raising his head to look at Ye Shuo.

When Ye Shuo blinked his eyes strangely, he lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hands once again.

"Since you said that, then I'll read the letter now. After reading it, I'll write a reply to you." Xu Shiqiu said those words casually because he thought that the letter his sister had written to him was still the same as before, allowing him to be at ease and not care too much about the content of his luck.

However, today, when he opened his sister's letter and only took a glance at it, he suddenly became serious.

Dong Shu had originally wanted to stretch his head out to look, but after seeing Xu Shiqiu's serious expression, she immediately stopped. Not only did she not stretch his head out to look again, she even called for a servant to change a cup of hot tea for Xu Shiqiu, leaving him to read the letter later.

Dong Shu's movements were smooth and natural, with one glance, one could tell that this was not the first time she had taken care of Xu Shiqiu silently.

But Xu Shiqiu, who was reading the letter, did not look very good.

Xu Shiqiu read very slowly this time. A three page letter, he thought over and over again. After carefully pondering about it three times, he finally refolded the letter and carefully put it back in the envelope.

Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu could be considered people who understood Xu Shiqiu, upon seeing Xu Shiqiu's actions, they knew that he did not plan on telling the contents of the letter to anyone else.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu doing such a thing, Dong Shu was not curious, but Old Madame Xu was very curious.

Her daughter wrote to her, as always, about her health, and about her recent condition, which was no different from before.

However, she was now certain that the letter her daughter had written to her brother was definitely not ordinary.

"Shiqiu, did your sister say something that made things difficult for you?" After the Old Madame Xu finished testing Xu Shiqiu, and seeing that his expression did not change, she continued: "If your sister says anything that makes things difficult for you, if you think it's okay, tell Mother and Mother. Mother will think of a way for you."

Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking, and Xu Shiqiu shook his head while looking at her: "This matter, mother cannot help me. Mother, you don't have to worry, I can take care of it. "

After he finished speaking to the Old Madame Xu, Xu Shiqiu looked up and glanced at Ye Shuo, and asked: "Does your father know about the letter your mother wrote to me?"

"I know!" It's not like you don't know Third Uncle, every single day, other than going out, my father would always stay at my mother's side as long as he stays in the mansion. " "When Mother handed these two letters to me, I took them from father. Father also repeatedly reminded me that I must personally deliver this letter into Third Uncle's hands."

Ye Shuo felt sick of thinking about how his father could not leave his mother's side every day.

His elder brother had said long ago that in the eyes of his father, only his mother was important.

Since his younger brother's health was not good, his father's attitude towards him might even be better.

However, it was fine for the two of them to not stay by his mother's side. However, if they unknowingly ran to his mother's side, then in his father's eyes, they would definitely be a hindrance!

The expression on Ye Shuo's face was just too easy to understand. Seeing him reveal such an expression, Xu Shiqiu finally let him go.

"Shiqiu, is there anything major in the letter your sister wrote to you?" When Old Madame Xu heard Ye Shuo say that her father would personally make him deliver the letter into her son's hands, she already noticed that this letter that his daughter gave to her son was definitely not simple.

But at the same time, she had also long thought that from Xu Shiqiu's expression just now, he wouldn't tell her.

"Mother, there is really no need for you to worry about this matter. I will carefully think about the reply to elder sister."

After Xu Shiqiu rejected Old Madame Xu's question as expected, he looked at Ye Shuo and said: "Shuo'er, your mother's letter, Third Uncle has to think carefully about how to reply to it. It just so happens that you can stay here for a few more days to rest."

"Alright, I'll listen to Third Uncle." Ye Shuo seemed to not be surprised at all by Xu Shiqiu's reaction. After he finished speaking, he chuckled and looked towards Dong Shu: "Third Aunt, I heard my cousin say that your food was especially delicious. How about I and my cousin go over to your place for lunch tomorrow?"

"Of course, I can. I can't cook much, but there are still some good dishes, and your uncle likes them too." Dong Shu's face carried a sincere smile, and after seeing that Ye Shuo had finished saying these words, he hurriedly asked: "What do you like to eat, Third Aunt will go back to the kitchen to make a note of, and buy it tomorrow morning to send to Shihuan Courtyard."

"I like meat. As long as it's meat, I like it!" Ye Shuo's eyes sparkled as he watched his third aunt finish her sentence. Seeing how Third Uncle was staring at him with an unsightly expression, he hurriedly added, "Third aunt's cooking skills are so good, she must be delicious no matter what!"

"Not as good as you say." Although Dong Shu was blushing a little when she heard him, her beautiful crescent eyes were shockingly bright because of her praise.

Xu Shiqiu was originally very unhappy, but after seeing Young Girl's bright eyes and the joy on his face that was not hidden at all, he suppressed his unhappiness.

Since Young Girl was willing, he would endure for a while.

But now, he seemed to understand his brother-in-law's feelings somewhat.

Seeing that Young Girl had arranged with his nephew and niece to eat tomorrow at noon, Xu Shiqiu immediately brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard.

Once he returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, Xu Shiqiu immediately hugged Dong Shu and asked: "My wife, do you want to go live in the capital?" After asking that question, Xu Shiqiu seemed to be somewhat regretful, and said anxiously: "Look at me, why are you bringing it up again?" After saying that, Xu Shiqiu wanted to quickly change the topic, but something was wrong, as it still caught Dong Shu's attention.

"Husband, are you hiding something from me?" Dong Shu saw that Xu Shiqiu had just finished speaking, and that he looked as if he was avoiding Xu Shiqiu's gaze, so she immediately looked at him with her crescent eyes and said seriously: "Master, just say it directly to me, there's no need for you to do this."

Xu Shiqiu felt his heart soften when he saw Dong Shu's expression change. His Young Girl was so good, if he really did what his sister told him to, how could she get used to it?

Xu Shiqiu's personality had caused him to like to think too much into things since he was young, and would only give up after considering all sorts of possibilities in his heart every single time.

And now again.

He was actually conflicted in his heart.

He actually wanted to return to the capital. That was because all of the men had the intention to fight for their lives in the capital. However, he was also afraid.

Because right now, he only had Young Girl by his side, so he would not affect the people around him. Once he returned to the capital, as long as he went out to do something, Young Girl would definitely be exposed to the people around him.

But with Young Girl's character, how could he adapt to the life in the capital?

He wanted to tell Young Girl about it, but he was worried about his character. If he said it out loud, she would immediately support him back to the capital without asking anything else.

The more he thought, the more hesitant he felt. Furthermore, with Xu Shiqiu's personality and his love for association, things would only happen before they happen.

What if someone from the Young Girl found her special and wanted to snatch her away after arriving at the capital?

Dong Shu had been waiting for Xu Shiqiu to answer her question for a long time. After thinking about it, she looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued to speak, "Hubby, if you still don't understand, then don't say anything. But no matter what, I will definitely accompany you."

When Dong Shu said this, it instantly pulled Xu Shiqiu back from his thoughts.

Seeing the serious expression on Young Girl's face, Xu Shiqiu was stunned for a long time before looking at her and nodding his head, "Mn, I will think it through carefully."

Xu Shiqiu was concerned about other things in his heart, so when he ate at Old Madame Xu's place at night, his expression was as if he had something on his mind.

Seeing that Xu Shiqiu had revealed such an expression, Old Madame Xu guessed that the letter her daughter had written him was definitely not right.

After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu finished their meal and left, Old Madame Xu called Ye Shuo over and asked him if he knew what was in the letter.

"Grandmother, how could I know about the letter mufei wrote to Third Uncle?"

Although Ye Shuo said that, but the expression on his face seemed to be 'I know, quickly ask me again, I might just tell you'.

He glanced at Ye Shuo before speaking again, "How could you not know? Given your personality, even if you didn't know back then, you would have definitely tried to sneak a peek at what the letter said along the way."

Old Madame Xu was well aware of Ye Shuo's personality. When these words came out, the previously complacent Ye Shuo instantly deflated, and after glancing at Old Madame Xu, he spoke again: "Then grandmother can guess how I saw the letter?" After saying this, Ye Shuo did not forget to say proudly, "When Uncle received the letter, the opening of the envelope was still sealed."

"Did you forget that your grandfather was a great general?" After Old Madame Xu saw Ye Shuo finish speaking, he was momentarily stunned and quickly continued, "Since he taught your mufei how to open the letter without leaving a trace, why didn't he teach me? Also, did you think your uncle couldn't tell that you had opened the letter?

Don't forget, your Third Uncle was taught by your mother for a few years when she was young. Your mufei will hand this matter over to you brothers, so why not to his younger brother? "

With Old Madame Xu's personality, she actually does not like to insult junior that much, especially so her grandson.

Although Ye Shuo was not born from her daughter, he was still born from a niece, and was raised by her daughter.

She also didn't treat Ye Shuo as an outsider at all, as if he was her own grandson. Thus, it was very rare for her to say such words.

After Ye Shuo heard the words of the Old Madame Xu, he was stunned. After being stunned for a short while, he had no choice but to slowly speak up under the Old Madame Xu's gaze, "A year ago, Grandfather the Emperor revealed his intention of re-establishing the crown prince.

When my grandmother came back from the palace, she said that she had accidentally heard my grandfather say, 'Of course, return his son,' so she had asked my mother to write a letter asking if there was anyone in Xu Family who could take over the military power.

royal father means that it is appropriate to be the second cousin of Eldest Uncle's family, but mufei still insists that Third Uncle is the most suitable candidate for Xu Family. "

Ye Shuo was shocked that he didn't open his mouth.

Old Madame Xu also never thought that not only did Ye Shuo know what was written in the letter, he even knew so many things.

She frowned and thought for a moment. Seeing that Ye Shuo did not continue speaking, she then looked at him and spoke seriously: "Other than telling me this, did you reveal it to anyone else?"

"No!" Ye Shuo was also shocked by Old Madame Xu's serious expression. After he returned to Old Madame Xu, she said seriously: "I only told Grandmother about this matter before. I just wanted to say that I didn't meet anyone else along the way."

"That's good, Shuo. Remember, forget about the letter you saw, and forget about the information you heard from who knows where." This is not something that you can participate in right now. " Old Madame Xu and Ye Shuo were different.

Maybe Ye Shuo just thought that it was fun to hear this, but she could deduce one thing from these words.

The capital was in chaos again.
