On the day that Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang returned, a round of autumn rain fell on the Xiahe Village.

The two of them kept a low profile when they returned. After entering the house, they went straight to the Main Yard to kneel down and beg forgiveness from the Old Madame Xu.

"Mother, we know our wrongs. We know our wrongs." Xu Xiaozhi sighed after seeing Old Madame Xu finish her words, "After experiencing this experience, I truly understand that the person who wouldn't harm me the most in this world, was Mother."

When Xu Xiaozhi opened his mouth, Madame Jiang had been obediently kneeling by his side all this time. It was only until she heard Xu Xiaozhi's words that she finally raised her head and looked at him.

Old Madame Xu had not made any movements until now. Only when Madame Jiang raised her head to look at Xu Xiaozhi did she glance at him and ask: "Madame Jiang, do you have anything to say?"

Madame Jiang did not expect Old Madame Xu to suddenly ask her, she was stunned for a moment, then asked: "My daughter-in-law was also wrong." After saying that, the Madame Jiang lowered her head and no longer spoke.

Hearing Madame Jiang's words and looking at her lowered head, Old Madame Xu suddenly sneered, "What? For Jiang Family to do such a thing, you only have to say 'you're wrong' and then send me away? " After saying this, the Old Madame Xu saw that Madame Jiang had raised his head in a hurry to speak and immediately continued with a smirk: "Are you going to say that you don't know about the Jiang Family as well?

Madame Jiang, think about it. If Jiang Family had set their eyes on you and cared about you, would they have done such a thing? Even though our Xu Family is down, and may not be as good as it was back then, we are not someone who can be casually ignored by our Jiang Family. "

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

She opened her mouth to speak, but for a long time she couldn't think of a word to say.

"Madame Jiang, Yanzhu is your daughter. I understand how you wanted to betroth Yanzhu to your nephew back then, but you have to think about it carefully how your Jiang Family treated you." After Old Madame Xu had finished speaking, she took a sip of the specially made medicinal tea from the tea cup by her side. Only then did she look at Madame Jiang and continue: "Before Jiang Family made such a decision, I had never thought about it.

In terms of status, you are inferior to your eldest sister-in-law. In terms of care, you are inferior to the three great families.

"Mother!"

After Madame Jiang shouted out 'Mother' in shock, she stopped her speech and turned to look at her, waiting for her to speak.

"Mother, for Jiang Family to make such a decision, your daughter-in-law truly does not know." Madame Jiang did not lie. When she first found out that Jiang Family had become part of the imperial concubine bloodline, she was also shocked.

After all, her own sister-in-law was the principal wife of the Fifth Prince. Not only was she the sole favorite of the Fifth Prince, she was also the legitimate son that the Fifth Prince had taken a fancy to.

The power of the Consort De in the harem was not inferior to that of imperial concubines, and neither was the power of the Fifth Prince. However, her family had abandoned their marriage relationship with the Fifth Prince and turned to the imperial concubine line.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law really did not know before that Jiang Family did such a thing." "If my daughter-in-law knew of this matter in advance, she would not have agreed to marry Yanzhu to the Jiang Family."

After Madame Jiang saw that Old Madame Xu had finished speaking, she raised her eyes and sized her up, "When Jiang Family turns to Imperial Concubine, other than the silver, which other daughter did she send into Third Prince's residence?"

Hearing Old Madame Xu's question, Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang raised their heads and looked at him in shock.

When she saw how Old Madame Xu was looking at him, Madame Jiang weakly replied: "It's the youngest female lead, she became the Third Prince's secondary wife."

"That's right, if not for the position of secondary concubine, I'm afraid Jiang Family would not have so boldly joined the imperial concubine."

After Old Madame Xu had finished speaking, Xu Xiaozhi looked at her and spoke, "Mother, I heard that Jiang Family sought out Fifth Prince before searching for Third Prince, but you knew what Fifth Prince was thinking about little sister, so …"

"What is it? Do you still think that Jiang Family did not do anything wrong? Is it not enough for them to rely on our Xu Family for their relationship with the Fifth Prince? Is it right to dream of being rejected and then running back to your opponent? "

After Old Madame Xu asked three questions in a row, Xu Xiaozhi was so stunned that she did not know what to say.

Seeing the strange atmosphere in the room, Xu Shiqiu supported Dong Shu and walked in.

"I remember that the one with the smallest Jiang Family is a little over two years older than Shuo'er. After Xu Shiqiu said this, he carefully helped Dong Shu to sit at the side. Then he continued, "If Jiang Family is sincere, Huan'er and her is the same age.

What Xu Shiqiu had said was not wrong, but the truths that he said caused the anger that the Old Madame Xu had just released to rise yet again.

Seeing that his mother had become even more angry, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly continued, "Mother, you must not become angry again because of the matter of Jiang Family." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu then opened his mouth to remind everyone, "For Jiang Family to do such a thing, I wonder what kind of explanation it would give to our Xu Family?"

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's reminder, Old Madame Xu suppressed the anger in her heart. She looked at Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang and said: "Tell me, how do you plan to compensate our Xu Family by giving us face?"

"Mother?" The Madame Jiang looked at Old Madame Xu in puzzlement. She did not understand why she had to compensate her Xu Family.

Old Madame Xu saw the expression on Madame Jiang's face and became even angrier, "I usually say that you're stupid, but you still don't admit it. Why don't you think about how others would think of us Xu Family after knowing that Jiang Family has gone to the imperial concubine? Even though our Xu Family is down, we aren't so casually bullying. "

Before Madame Jiang was ready to speak again, Xu Xiaozhi hurriedly said, "I will compensate Yanzhu with two villas and some silver."

When Xu Xiaozhi opened his mouth, the Madame Jiang realized that the Old Madame Xu was giving something to them.

She wanted to say that she had prepared to leave all of these things for her two sons, but Xu Xiaozhi had already promised her first.

"Mother, don't worry. This time, when Yanzhu marries into the Jiang Family, she will immediately follow the rules of entering the clan according to the one she was supposed to follow. Furthermore, Madame Jiang and I will also prepare a set of her dowry.

Hearing Xu Xiaozhi's words, Madame Jiang felt as if someone was holding a knife to his own flesh.

"Mn, since that's the case, then start preparing Yanzhu's dowry in the next two days. You will return to the capital after the Mid-Autumn Festival. " Old Madame Xu had long guessed that Jiang Family would compensate Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang after doing such a thing, so she had already thought about it long ago.

With regards to today's result, Old Madame Xu was fairly satisfied. She did not force Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang too much, and when Xu Xiaozhi let go, Madame Jiang revealed a pained expression before letting out a sigh.

Seeing that Old Madame Xu gave them a specific time to take Xu Yanzhu away, Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang heaved a sigh of relief.

They were truly afraid that they would not be able to take Xu Yanzhu away or hear the news of her death.

Madame Jiang was still uncomfortable, but Xu Xiaozhi was familiar with Old Madame Xu, and knew where her mother's bottom line lay.

Seeing that his mother had let go of him, he hurriedly pulled Madame Jiang and left to rest.

After Xu Xiaozhi and the Madame Jiang left, Xu Yanzhu who was previously hiding in her room came out.

"Grandmother, were you angry just now?"

Xu Yanzhu walked to the side of the Old Madame Xu, raised her hand and lightly patted her back before looking at Xu Shiqiu again: "Third Uncle, I'm sorry to trouble you to speak today."

"Don't thank me, your grandmother was just angered by me."

Xu Shiqiu had just finished joking around when Old Madame Xu looked at him and shook his head, "You, what you said just now really pissed me off." After Old Madame Xu said this, she saw that Xu Shiqiu's expression did not change into a smile, and continued to speak: "But Mother knows that you're telling the truth."

"It's the truth that makes mother angry. Otherwise, why would you be angry?" Xu Shiqiu had only just finished speaking when he looked at him and could not help but laugh as he shook his head. Only then did he continue, "But Mother, please don't be angry over other people's family matters. We juniors, we are more than enough to worry about."

"That's right. Mother, don't be angry." Dong Shu interrupted somewhat nervously. Seeing that after she finished saying this, his mother-in-law and husband did not get angry, Dong Shu braced herself and continued, "Mother, take care of your health. When I give birth, Mother will not stay by my side.

Not only was Xu Shiqiu captivated by her words, even the Old Madame Xu was nodding at her lovingly.

"Okay, when you give birth, mother will definitely watch over you." Dong Shu's delicate and soft character carried a bit of fortune. Every time she came to see her, her body would become lighter by a bit, "But Mother believes that as long as you follow Doctor Du's instructions, you will definitely be able to give birth safely."

When he thought about how a fortunate daughter-in-law would give him a granddaughter and two grandsons in the future, Old Madame Xu's mood became especially good.

Old Madame Xu believed that with a blessed mother, her granddaughter and grandson would definitely be blessed as well.

Xu Shiqiu could guess what Old Madame Xu was thinking from his expression, but he did not open his mouth to interrupt her imagination.

He also believed that his Young Girl was blessed. If his Young Girl didn't have such luck, how would he wait for the day his daughter was born?

Xu Yanzhu sat at the side and watched as Third Uncle and Third Aunt consoled his grandmother with a few words, making her feel more at ease about him heading towards the capital.

She wasn't afraid of what might happen in the capital city's Jiang Family. The only thing she was worried about was raising her grandmother.

Originally, Third Uncle's unique physique had been suppressed after having the Third Aunt, so she could feel at ease to leave the Xiahe Village and head to the capital.

It was just that she did not know if the Jiang Family in the capital were ready for her to go there.

Beijing Jiang Family

"Mother, I want to let Yanzhu live in the Ha Yuan Courtyard after she gets married."

Just as Jiang Han finished speaking, the Jiang Family Mistress who was sitting in the seat of honor immediately stopped and asked: "Didn't you say when you were getting married that you could only live in the Ha Yuan Courtyard?"

"How can my cousin compare to Yanzhu!"

"Why can't we compete?" When the Jiang Family mistress heard Jiang Han's words, she immediately looked at him in dissatisfaction. "Xu Yanzhu is your cousin, and Xiao'er is also your cousin.

The more the Jiang Family mistress spoke, the angrier she got. Xiao'er was the Liang Family's direct daughter, how could she be worse than Jiang Qian's daughter!

"Mother, it's not like you don't know how happy I've been to you since I was young. Back then, if you hadn't been so determined to marry Yanzhu, I might have already done it for both my son and daughter." Jiang Han was also very angry, he had liked Xu Yanzhu since he was young, and felt that only a woman like Xu Yanzhu could be worthy of him.

How could he be like his mother's niece, Liang Xiaoxiao? Although she looked like her mother, not only was she unruly and willful, her body also reeked of copper. She simply could not match him.

Jiang Han was raised by his mother, so what kind of thoughts did he have?

"I know what you're talking about, but for you, I did as you said, to ask your highness concubine to bestow the marriage on you, to give enough face to Xu Yanzhu, what about you?" After the Jiang Family Mistress had said these words, she thought for a while and continued, "You have given Xu Yanzhu face, yet now you are humiliating the Liang Family like this? In your heart, do you still have a mother like me? "

"Mother …" Jiang Han was the most annoyed by his mother when she said this. She called her mother impatiently, and then continued, "But Yanzhu is still my love, you forced me to marry Cousin Li Er, my heart is naturally different."

After Jiang Han finished speaking, seeing that his mother was still not willing to let him go, he opened his mouth again: "Besides, only by letting Yanzhu and I live together can we quickly give birth to a grandson for you. Do you think the grandson is more important or the Liang Family's face is more important?"
