After sensing the scheme of Second Sister-in-law, Xu Shiqiu did not say anything directly, but placed a bit more of his focus on her, afraid that she would suddenly say something that would harm Young Girl.

But perhaps there was something else in Madame Jiang's heart, Xu Shiqiu waited for a long time and still did not hear it.

Seeing that Second Sister-in-law had no intention to speak, Xu Shiqiu shifted his attention away from her.

At the same time, Madame Ye looked at Old Madame Xu and explained her family's most recent situation.

"Mother, my birth appearance was unstable a few days ago, so I had to rest at home. I also couldn't be at ease while taking her out. After a few more days, when she gives birth, I'll come and ask mother to come over. " Madame Ye's tone was sincere, as though she was indeed being held up by her pregnant daughter-in-law these days.

When Old Madame Xu heard her words, she did not intend to expose her. She nodded and said, "It's not easy to be pregnant, it's only right that you spend more time at home with her."

After he finished speaking to the Madame Ye, the Old Madame Xu turned to look at Madame Hu who was seated at the side.

Madame Hu's appearance could not be considered to be outstanding, and could only be considered pretty. But perhaps it was due to her being born in a Madame Hu, the temperament of her body was not bad.

Just by looking at her posture, Old Madame Xu knew that she had a good upbringing.

Old Madame Xu felt satisfied in her heart, and couldn't help but speak with a gentler tone, "It's not easy for you to be pregnant, just tell your mother-in-law what you want to eat."

Upon hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Madame Hu wanted to stand up and bow, but before she could do anything, Xu Yanqing, who was beside her, stood up first and supported her by bowing to Old Madame Xu.

"Thank you for your concern, Grandmother." After the husband and wife said this at the same time, Xu Yanqing carefully supported Madame Hu and sat down again.

Madame Hu had already gotten used to Hubby's care for him, but when he thought about how not only his mother-in-law was there, but also Hubby's grandmother, he felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing her distress, Old Madame Xu said to Xu Yanqing first, "Brother Qing, you've done very well. Since you've already married your wife, you must take good care of her. Now that she's giving birth to a child for you, you can't just focus on reading and leave your wife behind. "

When Old Madame Xu said this, Xu Yanqing respectfully replied.

On the other hand, when Madame Hu heard what Old Madame Xu said, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at her.

Evidently, the Madame Hu had not expected the Old Madame Xu to say such a thing.

Old Madame Xu could naturally feel the look in Madame Hu's eyes as she looked at her, but she did not care at all. After she finished speaking, she looked towards Madame Ye and asked: "What exactly did you come here for today?"

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Madame Ye wanted to open her mouth to deny it, but before she could do so, she heard Old Madame Xu opening her mouth once again: "Think carefully before saying it again, whether or not you are alright."

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Madame Ye could only speak with slight embarrassment: "I heard that the family invited Master Xuan Ling to suppress Third Brother's bad luck?"

Just as Madame Ye had finished speaking, before she could speak, Xu Shiqiu had already spoken out loud: "Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, a portion of the bad luck on my body has indeed been suppressed."

Xu Shiqiu did not say it out loud, but after he said those words, everyone in the hall, including those from the second house, set their gazes on him.

It was not the first time that Xu Shiqiu was being sized up by so many people, so he was not embarrassed at all. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he thought for a bit before continuing, "Now that I can see everyone alone, I do not immediately break their legs like before.

Xu Shiqiu's words were not a lie, it was just that after these few days, everyone who came to see him would be exceptionally careful, so even things like sprained legs and sprained legs were less than what they were at the start.

However, he did not want to make these matters too clear.

What Xu Shiqiu did not wish to say was too clear, and Dong Shu and the Old Madame Xu did not have any intention of explaining it, so the Xu Family Main Room and the Xu Family Second Room could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Since that's the case, what are third brother's plans for the future?"

When Madame Ye saw that Xu Shiqiu had finished speaking, Xu Yanhao who was seated at the side seemed to have opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, Xu Yanhao did not speak.

Xu Shiqiu swept his gaze over them from the corner of his eyes and discovered that something was off about Xu Yanhao.

He was the grandson of Xu Family, and so was Xu Yanhao.

However, Xu Yanhao was still the grandson of the Prince Duan. When his father was in trouble, he handed over the military authority to the Prince Duan.

So many years had passed, and from what his elder sister said, Prince Duan seemed to have the intention of returning the military power that his father controlled back then to the Xu Family people.

If he did not intend to, then the authority would be given to Xu Yanhao.

Although Xu Yanhao was still young, he was still his father's grandson and his maternal ancestor was still a Prince Duan.

His elder sister-in-law was afraid.

After thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu smirked and said, "Not yet, but after a few days, when my bad luck really doesn't injure anyone, I should enter the palace and wait for the Divine Empress to make the decision."

Xu Shiqiu did not lie. Back then, the reason the Master Xuan Ling was so active in helping was also because the Emperor wanted to see him.

Although the Emperor knew that his Young Girl was blessed, he didn't say that he didn't see him.

No matter what he wanted to do, he had to wait until the end of his meeting with the Emperor Ruikang.

When the Madame Ye heard Xu Shiqiu mentioning the Heavenly Sage, she immediately understood what he meant.

Right now, it wasn't because Xu Shiqiu wanted to take over the military power, but because his royal uncle wanted to hand it over to someone.

Although his Hao er had half of the Madame Ye bloodline, but Xu Shiqiu had a blessed Young Girl.

Thinking about it, Madame Ye felt pain in her heart.

She really did not think that the Third Sister-in-Law she looked at stupidly was truly blessed.

When Dong Shu noticed that her sister-in-law was looking at him, she immediately raised her head and nodded at her with a smile: "Sister-in-law is looking at me like this, do you have something to say?"

Madame Ye did not expect that after a year of not seeing him, Dong Shu had become so sensitive, and she looked much more intelligent than before.

She felt awkward in her heart, but quickly controlled her emotions, looked at Dong Shu and said: "I heard that Third Sister-in-Law is blessed, and that your nephew's wife is about to give birth, and wants to ask you for a bag of fortune that you personally embroidered for her."

This was not the first time Dong Shu had heard someone saying that the Fortune Bag that she had personally embroidered was fortunate. Fortunately, she had found a lot of materials during these two days and decided to embroider more Fortune Bags.

She did not intend to embroider any complicated patterns, such as the simplest 'Blessed' character. When she was free, she would be able to embroider one in half a day.

"Since you're prepared to give it to your nephew's wife, then there must be." After saying that, Dong Shu turned her head to look behind him. Seeing that there were only the wet nurse and Mama Yan behind him, she then looked outside and said: "Men, go look for Ling Xiang at Shihuan Courtyard, let her take a bag of fortune that I have personally embroidered for her."

After saying that, Dong Shu turned to look at Madame Ye, using her eyes to ask if she still had anything else.

Madame Ye never thought that Dong Shu would give out such smooth and natural instructions after hearing him speak.

Her impression of Dong Shu was still the same from last year, the little village girl who had just married into the Xiahe Village not too long ago.

But now, not only was Xu Shiqiu's misfortune suppressed, the Madame Dong had also changed.

At the very least, if the current Dong Shu did not know of her background, she would not have been able to tell that she was still an ordinary little village girl with Xiahe Village after more than a year.

Originally, Madame Ye didn't want to think too much about it, but she cared about his son. Xu Yanhao had been in the army for the past year, so she knew about the hardships he had to endure every day.

Originally, she thought that all of the military power that the Xu Family controlled at that time belonged to her son, but she never would have thought that her father would say that this matter was not necessarily the case.

It took her two days to find out what was going on. Just the thought of her son's disappointed expression made her resentful.

If only the three families hadn't returned to the capital.

Although Madame Ye had these thoughts, she did not reveal them.

After Dong Shu finished speaking to her, he saw that she had nothing else to say, so she turned to look at the Madame Hu seated beside her.

Madame Hu sensed the look in Dong Shu's eyes, and immediately smiled at her.

The moment she saw Madame Hu's smile, for some reason, Dong Shu suddenly opened her mouth and said: "Nephew and daughter-in-law should move more, it will benefit the production."

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, the expressions of Madame Hu and Madame Ye changed.

Madame Ye wanted to say that Dong Shu didn't know how to speak, but before she could say anything, Old Madame Xu had already said, "In the future, Brother Qing will take an hour out of one hour to accompany your Madame Hu to walk around." After saying that, the Old Madame Xu stared at the Madame Hu and continued: "Your Third Aunt is blessed. Since she wants you to walk more, then walk more."

There was also news from the Hu Family. Other than knowing that Dong Shu was fortunate, he also knew that her words were effective.

Thus, after a short period of shock, she relaxed her hand that was resting on her abdomen and respectfully replied: "Yes, my grandson will remember Third Aunt's words. In the future, I will go out everyday to walk around."

Seeing that her daughter-in-law agreed, Madame Ye did not speak anymore. It was just that everyone who knew her well knew that she was unhappy.

Dong Shu didn't know Madame Ye as her sister-in-law, but after being together with her for so many years, she still knew a little about her.

She had endured for a long time today, and during this meeting, she did not have the intention to speak anymore, so she pulled on Xu Xiaozhi's sleeves.

Xu Xiaozhi was pulled by the Madame Jiang on his sleeve and immediately reacted.

He glanced at his third brother at the side, and then looked up at Old Madame Xu: "Mother, Yanlang is not young anymore, both I and Madame Jiang are interested in choosing an appropriate marriage for him. It's just that mother also knows that Madame Jiang and I do not have very good judgement.

No one would have thought that the Second Branch of the Xu Family would come to see the Old Madame Xu today. Even Xu Yanlang was flustered and didn't know what to do when she heard her father's words.

Obviously, he didn't know about this.

Old Madame Xu originally did not plan to bother about the matters of the second house, but she understood that Xu Xiaozhi was right.

His and Madame Jiang's judgement were not good.

After thinking for a bit, he took the initiative to look at Xu Yanlang. "Yanlang, tell Grandmother, what kind of wife do you want?" After asking that question, the Old Madame Xu thought for a while and then said with worry, "And what do you plan to do in the future to support your family?"

The two sons of the Second Floor of the Xu Family were indeed inferior to the main house of the Xu Family, and the entire family knew of this matter.

After a year of experience, Xu Yanlang finally understood a few things.

Therefore, when he heard the Old Madame Xu's words, he did not say any bold words. After some hesitation, he quietly said, "I don't like words and like reading. I had begun to take over the house, and my sister and brother-in-law had helped me with a few of the deals, but I knew that I wouldn't be able to do them on my own.

So, I want to find a wife that can help me, and I don't mind if I do business. I'm willing to help Yan Wei while he is still studying.

What Xu Yanlang said made the Old Madame Xu feel comfortable, but seeing that he did not have any intentions of trying to be brave, the Old Madame Xu couldn't help but feel more pity for him.

When she thought about the 'big sister' and 'brother-in-law' that he mentioned earlier, she understood that even though Yanzhu said that she would secretly take care of her two younger brothers, she did not care about the matters of the second house.

After thinking about this, Old Madame Xu opened her mouth and said: "Since you're sensible now, then Grandmother will watch out for you. There's no rush in marrying a wife. You have to choose one that suits you and suits you well. "

If it was a year ago, when Yanlang heard these words, he might not have minded it much. However, after this year, he understood a lot of things.

Knowing this family, even his father's mother did not have a brain. If he had matters to ask the Third Uncle, he could not rely on his father's mother.

"Yes, Yanlang will always remember grandmother's teachings."

After Old Madame Xu heard Xu Yanlang's words, she felt much better, and she was even more satisfied than before.

Even the way she looked at Xu Xiaozhi and Madame Jiang was much friendlier than before.

Xu Shiqiu was puzzled. He couldn't understand how Xu Yanzhu's second brother and second sister-in-law could have changed so much in the short span of a year, or rather, half a year after they had married.
