Seeing Ling Xiang appear, before Xu Shiqiu could even speak in displeasure, Dong Shu who was seated beside him had already taken a step forward and asked: "Ling Xiang, why are you so flustered?" After Ling Xiang finished speaking, Dong Shu immediately glanced at Xu Shiqiu, and seeing that her husband was looking at him with a smile, she immediately turned to Ling Xiang and continued: "Speak, what happened?"

Originally, Ling Xiang was a little nervous when she saw Xu Shiqiu looking at her with displeasure when she entered the room, but after hearing the other two sentences that Dong Shu had said, she felt like laughing when she saw that she wasn't doing this in secret.

"Young Master, Madam, it's Big Sister Cui Hua's sister who sneaked over to report that Big Sister Cui Hua's parents have locked her up." Ling Xiang was originally still smiling, but as she explained, the smile on her face gradually disappeared, "This servant originally wanted to bring Big Sister Cui Hua's sister over for Shihuan Courtyard to personally report, but she seems to be timid, and does not dare to come at all.

Oh right, the person who sent the lotus flower was Madam's cousin, the young lady of the Dong Clan. It was also because she helped the servant ask around, that was why she found out what the lotus flower was doing here, and also the matter of Sister Cui Hua who was currently locked in here. "

When Dong Shu had finished speaking, Dong Shu quickly looked towards Xu Shiqiu and asked, "Hubby, when did Cui Hua return?"

"It's my fault." Xu Shiqiu thought about how he had given Cui Hua one day of leave and how he would be the one to play for the entire day. He felt a little regretful, "I also didn't expect that Cui Hua would go home."

"I heard from Sister Cui Hua's sister that her brother seemed to have found Sister Cui Hua, and then went home to tell his parents and relatives to come and capture her." After Ling Xiang finished speaking, she looked towards Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu. Only then did she continue to speak, "Does Young Master and Madam want to meet Big Sister Cui Hua's sister and Lady Miao?"

"Go to the front yard and notify Xu Jie. Tell him to bring Cui Hua back safely before telling her wife's cousin to bring the lotus flower here." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu thought for a while and added, "Before you go to find Xu Jie, go take a trip to the Main Yard. Tell this matter to Old Madame and Old Madame and see what they mean."

Ling Xiang also knew that she was about to follow Xu Yanzhu to the capital, and upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, she immediately understood what he meant.

"Yes, servant will go right away." After Ling Xiang finished speaking, she immediately turned around and walked out, taking big steps toward the Main Yard.

Looking at her leaving figure, Dong Shu suddenly looked towards Xu Shiqiu and asked: "Husband, do you think that they can successfully bring Cui Hua back this time?" After saying this, Dong Shu continued in a nervous voice, "There is still half a year left to Cui Hua's Promise of Ten Years. Do you think her parents will cause any trouble?"

"My wife, don't be nervous." Xu Shiqiu knew that the Young Girl liked Cui Hua and he had always been thinking about Cui Hua, "This time, it just so happens that I have to take advantage of this opportunity to settle the matter between Cui Hua and her family. Mother had an idea just now, and because of Yanzhu, he will definitely be fine. "

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu lifted her hand to feel his stomach, which was starting to bulge a little, and then sighed: "If I wasn't pregnant, I would definitely have gone to Cui Hua's home to support her." Saying that, Dong Shu raised his clenched fist and waved it hard.

Seeing Young Girl's expression, Xu Shiqiu smiled helplessly, before embracing her and consoling her, "My wife, don't worry, Cui Hua will definitely be fine this time. When the lotus flower comes, let's ask her."

Cui Hua's home was in a village one village away from the Xiahe Village.

Today, Cui Hua actually did not intend to return home. She actually did not have much feelings towards this family.

She had come out to work to support herself when she was five or six years old, and when she was nine years old, in the spring of that year, she had once again worked at the Xu Family until now.

However, Xu Shiqiu allowed her to go out and relax, and to look at his homeland. She also understood that it was very likely that he wouldn't return after entering the capital, so he obediently went out to take a walk.

It was just that Cui Hua never thought that her brother would run from home to the border between Xiahe Village and Upper River Village to play.

Cui Hua had not expected that her parents, who only thought of her as her brother, would persuade her relatives to send out over a dozen grown men to tie her up and bring her back home.

The moment she was tied up, Cui Hua wanted to escape back into the Xu Family, but she was being watched too closely today, there was no way she could escape.

However, when she returned home, she moved her little sister, who had recently been bullied by her younger brother, to inform her.

"Do you see what they're doing to me now? "You'll be next."

"My Xu Family is very popular with the masters. As long as you help me report the news to the Xu Family, when I leave home, I will bring you away."

"Think about it, did second sister secretly send you food before? If it wasn't for second sister coming back to visit you a few times, you would have starved to death already."

"Lotus, do you want to live a life where you don't have to be afraid? As long as you send a message to second sister, second sister will take you away. Second sister will definitely raise you."

"Second sister has the silver from the masters. I will buy you a few acres of land as your dowry. I will let you marry a good man and make your own decisions."

Just like this, Cui Hua moved the Third Sister Lotus that the family did not feel existed, and the lotus flower was lucky. Just as they ran into Xiahe Village, they met Dong Miao who had gone out to wash clothes.

"I saw that she resembled the Cui Hua you guys brought back to the house with her, so I brought her here. Otherwise, she would not like to talk and would wander around the village like a fool. I'm afraid that it will take her a while before she finds me here. " Dong Miao sat in the courtyard of the Shihuan Courtyard, and beside him was a lotus flower that had its head lowered, holding something to eat. It told Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu about its discovery.

"Furthermore, when I heard my big brother say that Cui Hua had been chosen by all of you, I was wondering if she had gone to do some work for you guys today, which was why something bad happened to her." After Dong Miao finished speaking, she immediately took a sip of water from the teacup in front of him. "Since you all already know what's going on, then I'll go back first."

It just so happens that today, the big kitchen stewed some meat, and brought it back as well. Recently, he had been busy with the opening of the teahouse in the county, so he had lost a lot of weight, and his legs had not completely recovered.

After Dong Shu finished speaking, Dong Shu smiled embarrassedly: "Cousin, I have two sets of clothes that I made this spring. After making them, I have tried them once, but they have yet to be worn. Next spring I'll have to produce again, and next fall I'll be afraid of the color of the fabric. If you don't mind, take it home and wear it this fall. "

Dong Shu looked at Dong Miao's expression as she spoke, and only after she heard him and was not angry did she order Ling Xiang to bring her two sets of clothes.

"It's one set of red embroidered gourds and another set of lilac colored embroidered bats. Also, bring me a jewelry box with a gourd engraved on my dressing table."

After saying this to Ling Xiang, Dong Shu then looked at him and said: "A few days ago, I heard from Cousin that my aunt is talking about marriage with my cousin. These two sets of dresses and this set of accessories, my elder cousin can keep them for our guests to wear."

After listening to Dong Shu's story, Dong Miao immediately looked at her with a flushed face. "Shu'er, I didn't bring the lotus flowers for you because I wanted something from you." The more they talked, the redder Dong Miao's face became. A few months ago, even though Big Brother was learning how to read and calculate at Xu Family everyday, when the county's shop was about to open for business two days ago, he was given a month's worth of instructions at Xu Family. How could she still have the nerve to take Dong Shu's things now?

"Shu'er, if your clothes can't be worn, then just give it to me. As for the jewelry, I really can't take it."

"There's no need for you to do this, cousin. Jewellery isn't expensive either. It's just a hairpin and some small pieces of jewelry. They're not too expensive." Dong Shu had prepared these things a long time ago. Originally, she had planned to have Cui Hua take these items to the Dong Clan in a few days, but now that Dong Miao had come, she would naturally give it to him.

"But …" Dong Miao naturally liked new clothes and accessories, but since her brother had warned her before, she understood that her relationship with Dong Shu was still in the process of being restored.

"Cousin, you really don't need to worry about that. Even if you don't want it today, I will get someone to send it over in a few days." After saying this, Dong Shu then looked at Dong Miao and said: "Cousin sister, you need to be intimate. It's not good to not have much jewelry. I heard that Cousin has taken a fancy to the son of a grocery store in the town. Although he is one year younger than my cousin, he has a good temper and is also familiar with Cousin. "

Xu Shiqiu stood at the side and saw that the Young Girl was talking more and more, her cousin's face was also turning more and more red, he shook his head and said to Dong Miao: "Just take it, when my wife was preparing these, your brother also knew."

When Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, the redness on his face faded away immediately, becoming extremely awkward. When she raised her head and looked at him and Dong Shu, she nodded her head, and accepted the things that Ling Xiang had given his.

After returning home and trying out the two sets of clothes, Dong Miao knew that these two sets of clothes were not something that Dong Shu could make so easily.

Because even though Dong Shu had grown a little taller in the past half year, she still wasn't as tall as him.

Not mentioning how deep in thought Dong Miao had been after she found out about this after she returned home, wasn't it just after Dong Miao followed Dong Lei home?

"Third Young Master, Madam, your servant has returned." Cui Hua changed into a set of clothes for her sister Lotus, and also changed into an old set of clothes that she had asked other servants to borrow, "Third Young Master, Madam, today Old Madame has completely bought the servants and lotus flowers, in the future, Lotus and servants will be the servants of Xu Family." As she spoke, Cui Hua brought his sister Lotus and bowed towards Xu Shiqiu and the others.

Xu Shiqiu did not ask his mother how much silver he spent on Cui Hua, and Cui Hua did not mention anything about it.

Because whether it was Xu Shiqiu or Cui Hua, both of them knew that when Cui Hua first heard about what Xu Shiqiu and Xu Yanzhu were going to do, she would never be able to leave the Xu Family her entire life.

As for her sister's lotus flower, Cui Hua prepared to keep it with him all the time.

Seeing how Cui Hua had grown, Xu Shiqiu was very pleased, but he also understood that Cui Hua would be accompanying him into the sea of fire.

When Cui Hua had completely taken care of her worries, and when Xu Yanzhu finally packed everything up, Xu Xiaozhi had also returned with Madame Jiang.
