Other than the Madame Jiang, everyone in the entire family who knew about it were worried for Xu Yanzhu. They were afraid that if she was dragged into the matter of Jiang Family, then something might happen to her as well.

Even the Madame Jiang did not have the energy to do so in the two days after Old Madame Xu finished asking her questions.

After waiting for two days and seeing that his mother-in-law's attitude towards him was still the same as before, the Madame Jiang slowly improved.

Old Madame Xu did not have the mood to care about Madame Jiang. Because of this, Old Madame Xu got Xu Shiqiu to send a letter that night, saying that she wanted Xu Yanzhu to accompany her in the villa for a few more days.

Jiang Han quickly replied. Not only did he agree to Xu Yanzhu continuing to stay in the manor, he even said that he would personally pay respects to Old Madame Xu in a few days.

Seeing that Jiang Han did not request for them to return, the people from the Xu Family all heaved a sigh of relief.

Xu Yanzhu was touched by the concern of the elders for him, so she temporarily put this matter aside and started to take the summer shelter in the manor seriously.

Even the few of them went completely mad at the manor, until they received the news that Ye Jingxing had sent someone to deliver them. On the second day of assembly, he came to the manor to pay respects to the Old Madame Xu.

Upon hearing that someone was coming from Fifth Prince Palace, the few children immediately restrained themselves and did not play around like they did two days ago.

In the afternoon of the second day, Ye Jingxing finally brought a group of people to the manor to pick up Xu Nuanwen. One of his colleagues was naturally his only daughter, Xu Chang and her family.

Xu Chang's appearance was ordinary, his wife's surname was Mei, and she was a beautiful woman.

Of the two daughters, the eldest was called Xu Ting and the youngest was called Xu Wan. Xu Ting looked like Xu Chang, Xu Wan looked like Mei.

However, both of their daughters had very good personalities, especially Xu Ting. Perhaps it was because she was the eldest daughter, but she seemed very stable despite her young age. He had not only read books, but also understood the dao of business. Other than his ordinary appearance, everything else was good.

Madame Jiang was very satisfied to see such a daughter-in-law. She had thought about it well. Currently, this Xu Ting was not good-looking, but being her eldest son's wife was good enough. At worst, she could just wait until her eldest son was born and have him accept two more rooms.

But on the same night that the two families met, Xu Shiqiu had a good talk with Xu Yanlang.

"Although the Xu family does not show it now, the eldest daughter of the Xu family is more than enough to support you. Now that the two families have started to get engaged, you should control yourself and not cause any trouble. " Xu Shiqiu watched as Xu Yanlang finished speaking, and he seemed to not understand what he was saying, so he continued: "Although the appearance of the Xu family's eldest daughter is average, she can actually help you to recover your family's property. You are the second son of the family, so you have to remember what you want to be. "If your mother arranged for you to have a room …"

Before Xu Shiqiu could finish speaking, Xu Yanlang had already looked back at him and firmly said: "I won't take it!" After replying loudly, Xu Yanlang regained his senses and looked at Xu Shiqiu with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Older sister had told me before, if you want Mrs Xu to be willing to share a heart with me, you cannot have another woman. "I promise elder sister, as long as the Xu can give birth to a son, I will absolutely not take over the bridal room."

"Alright!" Xu Shiqiu really did not think that he would actually be able to say such a thing while looking at the not very intelligent Xu Yanlang.

Although Xu Yanzhu was the one who pointed this out for him, it would be useless even if she did not have that kind of worry.

Xu Yanlang did not expect the Third Uncle to praise him. He smiled embarrassedly towards Xu Shiqiu, then said: "Actually I think it's good that you have a good look. After all, I am not very handsome."

Xu Yanlang's voice was soft, but Xu Shiqiu could still hear him clearly.

Xu Shiqiu was quite satisfied with Xu Yanlang's performance today, and only after giving him a few more words of warning did he allow him to leave.

After Yanlang left, Xu Shiqiu went to Xu Nuanwen's residence and saw his brother-in-law, Ye Jingxing.

"It's been hard on you these days."

Ye Jingxing spoke with sincerity. He did not want to have too many women in his backyard, so if Xu Shiqiu did not go to the army camp, then he did not have the support of a martial general.

He had his grandfather's family supporting him in the civil service, but during the military general selection, Prince Duan had always been the one helping him out secretly. After all, these brothers of his were all nephew of Prince Duan, and they would not be the only one helping him out.

But their Xu Family s were different.

Xu Family was his wife's family, and Xu Shiqiu was his sister-in-law. With a weapon in his possession, he would only help himself.

That was why Ye Jingxing said that to Xu Shiqiu earlier.

Xu Shiqiu also understood his brother-in-law's words. He smiled at his brother-in-law, then said: "Brother-in-law, the reason I'm going in the army camp is also for our Xu Family. "Father was a great general then, but now there are no military generals in our family. This is too embarrassing."

After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment before continuing, "Furthermore, I have my own selfish motives as well."

understood what Xu Shiqiu meant by 'private'. He had heard of the matter between Xu Family and his third brother, so when there was a chance a while ago, he had immediately scammed his third brother twice.

"Family, let's not talk about this anymore." After Ye Jingxing said those words, he finally told what he did not know about the matters of the imperial court.

After he finished speaking, Ye Jingxing looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, "Royal Father's health is really not very good. Two days ago, I heard that he punished the too hospital." If it was anyone else, Ye Jingxing would definitely not say these words.

However, the Xu Shiqiu in front of him was not only his wife and brother, but also his own helper.

Upon hearing Ye Jingxing's words, Xu Shiqiu frowned. "Your Majesty isn't telling me the truth, but a few days ago you had someone come over to ask me how the training for the new army was going."

After hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Ye Jingxing let out a sigh and continued to speak, "Sometimes, I also don't understand what the Royal Father is really thinking. "Ever since the crown prince left, he treated us brothers with respect …"

Ye Jingxing did not finish his words, but Xu Shiqiu had already understood what he meant.

Until now, the Emperor Ruikang had not revealed to which son he was going to pass the throne. He did not care about the struggles between the sons, but the moment a son's power grew that much, he would oppress them.

Xu Shiqiu understood this point, and so did Ye Jingxing.

It was because he understood this that Ye Jingxing slowly withdrew his hand after Xu Shiqiu entered the army camp, and did not develop at a rapid pace like he did in the first half of the year.

Because he stopped attacking just in time and the Emperor Ruikang did not have the time to suppress his forces, all the powers that he developed in the first half of the year were preserved.

But exactly because of his development during the first half of the year, it had attracted the attention of the other brothers. These few days, if not for Royal Father's bad health, they would have definitely attacked him.

Xu Shiqiu understood all of this, although his literary talent was not as good as a proper scholar, he still understood the matters of the imperial court.

Hearing her brother-in-law's words, she thought for a while, then directly said, "Brother-in-law, the elderly are getting old, so they naturally wish for their children to be filial and filial. Since you are not prepared to continue to develop your power, it is better for you to be a filial son. "

When Xu Shiqiu said this, he looked at him seriously.

Just as Xu Shiqiu thought that he said the wrong thing, Ye Jingxing suddenly opened his mouth and said: "Mister Xu also said that."

Hearing Ye Jingxing's words, Xu Shiqiu understood that his brother-in-law had someone else by his side, so he wouldn't take the wrong path at such a crucial time.

The two of them continued to chat for a while longer. General Xu Shiqiu, some of the middle and low level officers amongst them told him their names, and Ye Jingxing sent people to check them out after he returned to the capital.

If he could confirm that these people were truly neutral and worth roping over, that would be why Xu Shiqiu would help Ye Jingxing to win over these people in the next few days.

Of course, Xu Shiqiu's movements would not be very obvious, after all, it was not yet time to make too big of a move.

After discussing everything with Ye Jingxing, Xu Shiqiu finally returned to the Shihuan Courtyard.

When he returned, Dong Shu was already about to fall asleep. Seeing her Young Girl's drowsy look, Xu Shiqiu smiled and told her what Xu Yanlang had said tonight.

Although Dong Shu remembered it intermittently, she still remembered to tell Xu Nuanwen about it the next day.

Today, Xu Nuanwen was going to pack up and leave the manor. While there was still time, she had come to accompany Old Madame Xu.

He didn't expect that Dong Shu, his sister-in-law, would tell him this good news before she left.

"Yanlang has finally made some progress." After saying that, Xu Nuanwen then looked towards Old Madame Xu and said: "Once Yanlang marries the eldest daughter of the Xu family, the next generation will definitely have an outstanding son."

The Old Madame Xu understood why Xu Nuanwen said that, and agreed with Xu Nuanwen. The eldest daughter of the Xu family was not bad, and with the eldest daughter of the Xu family in the second house, she could be at ease.

However, after Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's explanation, she immediately understood why Xu Shiqiu would look for Xu Yanlang to discuss about these things.

"I will look for Madame Jiang to talk later, and tell her not to cause trouble for her first wife in the future. If the second wife wants to get up, she can only leave the authority of a housekeeper in Lady Xu's hands."

Old Madame Xu understood that his second son and second daughter-in-law were not very smart people. If the second wife wanted to catch up to the first and third houses slowly, she would have to get the steward of the Xu family.

With regards to Old Madame Xu's decision, Xu Nuanwen naturally agreed.

"Mom, I'm going back to the capital after lunch. It's not convenient to be out without me at home." The reason why Xu Nuanwen was able to come to the villa and play for so many days was also because Ye Jingxing had spent two parts of her mind at home.

However, many things about the Inner Palace were not things that Ye Jingxing could easily understand.

Xu Nuanwen had been out for so many days. She would definitely be busy for many days when she returned.

"Your family has matters to attend to, so I won't keep you. The hottest days have already passed, so in about ten days, the weather should be cooling down. At that time, we will also be returning to the capital. "

Although their family was staying in the manor for the summer, there were still posts sent over to them in the capital. In the past few days, the amount of time they had left had lessened, but after a few days, the weather had cooled down. They would definitely return to the capital, choose two clans, and participate in their banquets.

Otherwise, since they had been back in the capital for so long, it was obviously not enough for them to hold a banquet.

Xu Nuanwen understood the meaning behind Old Madame Xu's words, and nodded in agreement, not saying anything more.

Only, the entire family did not expect that before noon, before Xu Nuanwen's family could even leave, a carriage came rushing over from the direction of the capital.
