The moment Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth to ask, the Old Madame Xu nodded at him.

Seeing the Old Madame Xu nod, Xu Shiqiu then continued: "What did the Mayor of Yi Town notice?"

"Presumably." Old Madame Xu replied Xu Shiqiu once before continuing: "However, because we dispatched people here in advance, those children did not run away."

The moment Old Madame Xu's voice fell, Xu Shiqiu immediately followed up: "Mother, have any of the people that went to the county returned?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, the Old Madame Xu shook her head and said, "He's not back yet, but he looks like it's about time." Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, her room's door was knocked.

Hearing the knock on the door, Dong Shu who was originally sitting obediently at the side holding Yuanxi, blurted out: "The person who went to the county has returned, there must be good news."

Dong Shu's words were casual, but Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu who heard her couldn't help but look at her.

Sensing his mother-in-law's and husband's attentive gaze, Dong Shu asked in confusion, "My mother, my husband, why are you looking at me like that?"

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu looked at each other.

Before the two of them could speak, the servant outside the door already spoke out loudly: "Old Madame, your servant has returned."

"Mm, come in."

Since the male servants that went to the county returned, Dong Shu didn't continue to question him about the previous matter.

After the Old Madame Xu spoke, the male servants outside the door also walked in.

The male servant bowed and entered. After entering the room, he first paid his respects to Old Madame Xu, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu, then opened his mouth and said: "Old Madame, this servant has already sent the news to the county magistrate area. Zhang County Command brought back a message from a servant, saying, "I assure you, he will immediately arrange this matter."

If Old Madame is in a hurry to return to the capital, she can keep some people here to settle the matter. He can personally write to you and tell you the details. "

Just as the servant finished speaking, the Old Madame Xu immediately nodded her head and said: "This county order is understandable." After saying that, Old Madame Xu looked at the male servant and said, "You should go down and rest. You've also been tired for a long time."

"Yes, servant will go rest now."

After the male servant left, Dong Shu then looked at Old Madame Xu and said: "Mother, in that case, can we return to the capital?" After saying this, Dong Shu did not wait for Old Madame Xu to speak and continued: "I'm afraid big sister and Yanzhu are waiting anxiously in the capital."

"Mother, your wife is right." We should still return to the capital as soon as possible. I'm afraid that Big Sis and Yanzhu are waiting anxiously for us there. "

After Xu Shiqiu spoke out, the Old Madame Xu could not help but nod her head.

Seeing that both the husband and the mother-in-law had nodded, Dong Shu then continued: "Then we will leave tomorrow morning?"

Originally, the reason they stopped here was because of Xu Jie. He had sensed that there was a problem with Yi Town and then was detained.

Now that the matters of the Yi Town had been handed over by a county magistrate, they could naturally leave.

"Mm, let's rest a bit more tonight. We can leave tomorrow."

Xu Shiqiu agreed to Dong Shu's request before instructing his to go inform He Ce and inform him of this news.

After Ling Xiang left, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu also left Old Madame Xu's place and returned to their own rooms.

Just as she returned to their room, Dong Shu stared at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Husband, do you have something to say to me?"

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu was immediately startled.

Seeing the smile in Dong Shu's eyes, Xu Shiqiu smiled and shook his head: "My wife, do you really want to know?"

"Yes." After Dong Shu blinked her eyes, she then continued to look at Xu Shiqiu and said. "I keep having the feeling that there's something that my husband and mother-in-law are hiding from me. Every time you two look at each other, I feel that there's something that you two are hiding from me."

Hearing Young Girl's words, Xu Shiqiu could only helplessly shake his head and say, "My wife, you should have been able to guess this matter." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu had been looking at him the entire time, and then continued: "Does my wife still remember I previously said you were fortunate?"

"Yes, I remember."

Dong Shu could guess what Xu Shiqiu was going to say after hearing his words.

"Husband has always felt that I was fortunate. I didn't believe it at first." After saying these words, Dong Shu pursed her lips and then continued, "It's just that if Husband feels that I'm fortunate, then I'll believe him."

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu smiled and said, "My wife, have you found anything? Every time something happens, as long as you open your mouth and say something, this matter will be resolved as you said. "

Xu Shiqiu was afraid that Dong Shu would not be able to remember these things, and immediately opened his mouth to speak of the previous few.

When Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he immediately opened his eyes wide.

When Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu asked nervously, "Husband, is it not good for me to do this?"

Xu Shiqiu never thought that his own Young Girl would actually become nervous after hearing what he had said.

He raised his hand and held Dong Shu's hand. After he lightly patted her hand, he then spoke out, "My wife, you do not have to worry.

Hearing her husband's words, Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

Although Dong Shu was not intelligent, she was not stupid.

She knew that she was not like the others.

Since it was different, was it not good?

Xu Shiqiu turned his head and instantly saw through Dong Shu's thoughts. He then patted Dong Shu's hand and comforted her, "My wife, you don't have to worry. In the future, even if there's something like that, I will help you cover it up."

Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu was actually worried and immediately opened her mouth to say something else.

Dong Shu had a good temper, after Xu Shiqiu spoke about other things for a while, she had forgotten about the past.

Because the matter of Yi Town had suddenly been resolved, Xu Shiqiu and the others, after resting for a night, directly left Yi Town.

But before they left, Xu Shiqiu still stayed behind with a few people.

The people who were in the light line continued to stay in the tavern, and the two people who were in the dark line were entrusted to He Ce to take care of.

"This is my family's servant. We need to return to the capital as soon as possible." "When the matter of Yi Town is settled, you can follow them on a tour around the capital when you have time."

Although he had only met He Ce once, Xu Shiqiu still liked him a lot.

After all, what happened in Yi Town had already happened for so long. In such a long time, He Ce was definitely the only one who noticed that something was amiss.

But the only person who dared to say it was He Ce.

He Ce was very happy after receiving Xu Shiqiu's invitation. He quickly agreed.

After leaving Yi Town, Xu Shiqiu and his group continued to head towards the capital.

This time, they did not encounter anything else on the way. Although there was another day where they were delayed by the rain, before the end of April, Xu Shiqiu and the others had already reached the capital.

The Xu Family's old mansion was on the west side of the capital. Although Old General Xu had passed on, the Xu Family's old house had not been taken away.

Fifth Prince Palace and Jiang Family had long ago sent people to guard the city gate, and the moment Xu Family's convoy appeared, the servants guarding the two families immediately went forward to pay their respects.

"Old Madame has specially instructed me to keep watch here. You have worked hard."

"Old Madame has been looking forward to seeing you. First Miss has been thinking about you and Third Madame for the past few days."

Old Madame Xu sat in the front of the group of Mule Cart. Upon hearing these words, she remained seated in the same position, but she did not forget to say: "Un, it has been hard on you all to wait here. Watch the rewards."

Just as Old Madame Xu had finished speaking, the servant women beside him immediately pulled open the curtains and took down the Mule Cart, giving each of the Fifth Prince Palace and Jiang Family a normal cyan pouch to each.

After the two of them received the rewards and bowed to express their gratitude, Old Madame Xu then opened her mouth to speak again: "When you go back and inform your master, I will rest here for two days. Later, a letter will be delivered to your house."

Now that he was in the capital, he naturally could not be as casual as he was before.

To invite someone as a guest, one must first send a post.

If she was not in the capital, Old Madame Xu would have wanted to invite her daughter and granddaughter, but now that they had reached the capital, she actually invited the Fifth Prince's Consort and Young Madam Jiang Family to visit them.

When the carriage arrived at the Xu Family Palace, Old Madame Xu found Dong Shu and specially told him about it.

"Since you've already arrived at the capital, you will have to come to my place every day to learn how to be a steward and get in touch with the other wives." After Old Madame Xu saw that Dong Shu had finished speaking, she sighed and continued, "While Mother is still alive, I can teach you a little more. But don't be afraid, you're smart, you'll learn it soon enough. "

Dong Shu never thought that she would actually have to learn these things again. Even though she was afraid, in the end, she nodded towards the Old Madame Xu and said, "Mother, don't worry. I will definitely learn seriously."

Dong Shu didn't know how much trouble the things she was going to bring him in the next few days.
