For the time being, the grudges and grudges within the palace would not affect the Xu Family outside. Especially with the protection and concealment that were deliberately concealed by a few people, the Xu Family had been exceptionally stable for the past few days.

Other than accepting the invitation from the two clan leaders' wives, Dong Shu had also been accompanying them ever since.

Yuanxi slowly grew up and it became more and more fun. Dong Shu would tease her for a while everyday before she would do other things.

On this day, Dong Shu played with Yuanxi as usual. After she fell asleep from exhaustion, just as she was about to go look at the account book,'s servant woman, Lady Li, suddenly activated her Shihuan Courtyard.

The Li Clan had once taken care of Dong Shu when she was pregnant, so after returning to the capital, as long as Old Madame Xu wanted to speak with Dong Shu about something that she did not want others to know about, she would send Madame Li over.

Now that she saw the Li Clan, Dong Shu knew that his mother-in-law had other things that she did not want others to know.

After she waved her hand to tell Ling Xiang to bring Huo Xiang and Li Xiang away, she looked at Madame Li and said: "But mother has something to tell me again?"

"In reply to Madam, the Jiang Family sent a message just now saying that Mrs. Jiang is severely ill, and might not have much time left to live."

Just as Li Clan said what Old Madame Xu wanted her to convey, Dong Shu opened her eyes wide in shock.

She knew that Madam Jiang Family was always sick, but before this, didn't they say that her body was not feeling good? Why did someone suddenly say something when she was on the verge of death?

Dong Shu pondered for a moment, but before she could understand, Madame Li continued: "Mrs. Jiang said that Young Master Jiang has no son, and our First Miss has been married for almost a year, and wishes for our two maids to be the concubines of Young Master Jiang. They also said that as long as they could conceive, they would be carried as concubines. "

"I understand. You go back first, I'll pack my things here and go to Main Yard to look after my mother." Dong Shu frowned, thinking back to what Yanzhu had just said to him, she couldn't help but be worried.

Yanzhu had not consummated her marriage with Jiang Han yet, so let alone nearly a year, even if it were three years, she still wouldn't be able to produce a child.

However, she really had no choice on what to do.

When the Li Clan heard Dong Shu's answer, she nodded her head and answered and returned to her Main Yard first.

After Madame Li left, Dong Shu ordered Lixiang to stay behind and watch the kitchen until Yuanxi's egg yolk juice was ready before she was fed Yuanxi's wet nurse, while she herself brought Ling Xiang and He Xiang to Main Yard.

When Dong Shu arrived at the Main Yard, he saw the Old Madame Xu standing there, admiring the flowers. Seeing that her mother-in-law still had the mood to admire the flowers, Dong Shu could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

After raising her hand to stop Ling Xiang and the Lotus Fragrance from continuing any further, Dong Shu took a few steps forward herself.

"Mother, please get Madame Li to look for me. About Yanzhu …"

"It's not urgent." Dong Shu had not finished speaking when Old Madame Xu suddenly interrupted her. Seeing her puzzled face, she continued to speak: "Do you know who sent the news today?"

Dong Shu did not understand why the Old Madame Xu said that, but after a moment of hesitation, she reacted, if Xu Yanzhu asked someone to deliver the news today, she would not have asked that.

As such, she made a bold guess: "Could it be that Jiang Han sent them?"

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, the Old Madame Xu nodded her head: "That's right, it was Jiang Han who delivered this."

The moment Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu's eyes widened in shock. She never thought that this news would actually come from Jiang Han.

"Mother, that Yanzhu didn't send a letter back?" Right after she said that, without waiting for Old Madame Xu's reply, Dong Shu continued: "Mother, do you want me to go to the Jiang Family to take a look?"

Dong Shu was truly worried for Xu Yanzhu. Ever since she had married into the Xu Family, Xu Yanzhu had always been with her.

When she was at her most ignorant, Xu Yanzhu had always taught her various things. Now that Xu Yanzhu might be in trouble, she was naturally extremely anxious.

When the Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu, she did not immediately reject him. She looked at Dong Shu, and seeing that the urgency in her eyes did not seem fake, she continued: "Mother knows that your relationship with Yanzhu is good, but do you understand what kind of identity you should have after entering the Jiang Family? What kind of attitude should I use to speak with the Mrs. Jiang? "

"Hmm?" At first, Dong Shu did not understand what the Old Madame Xu meant, but when she stared at him, she finally understood what her mother-in-law meant.

"Mother, I am an elder of Yanzhu's, and am of the same generation as Mrs. Jiang. "Not to mention, I'm His Majesty's conferred ruler."

Seeing that Dong Shu reacted quickly, Old Madame Xu heaved a sigh of relief and agreed to let her go to the Jiang Family.

With Old Madame Xu's agreement, Dong Shu was in a hurry to go back and pack up the ingredients. At the same time, she did not forget to send someone to send a thread to Jiang Family.

In order to support Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu had specially sent a post to the Mama Yan.

Mama Yan was a Mama that came from the Phoenix Palace, so even if her Jiang Family was merely for business, she was clearly aware of this fact.

With the Mama Yan sending him the invitation, Jiang Family would naturally not stop Dong Shu from seeing Xu Yanzhu. Not only did she not dare to stop Dong Shu, her Jiang Family had also opened on the second day, waiting for Dong Shu to go.

Dong Shu changed into a country lord's crown early the next morning, and took a stance to go to the Jiang Family.

As for the extremely ill Madam Jiang Family, she could only wait for Dong Shu to arrive in the house; she was truly powerless to get off the bed.

The moment Dong Shu entered the Jiang Family, he saw Xu Yanzhu who was waiting at the second gate. Just as Dong Shu was about to speak, in the next instant, she saw another servant woman who was by Xu Yanzhu's side.

Just as Dong Shu's gaze fell on the servant woman, the servant woman also respectfully bowed to Dong Shu: "This servant pays her respects to Village Master Fu Kang. Madam really wasn't able to get up this morning, I hope you can forgive me."

Dong Shu had received guidance from the Mama Yan and Xu Shiqiu's guidance last night, so after hearing the servant's words, she could only slightly nod her head.

The servant saw that Dong Shu did not respond to her and was in the middle of a difficult situation. Xu Yanzhu quickly walked over to Dong Shu's side and extended her hand to support her arms: "Third Aunt, Granny really cannot get up, please do not blame her." As she spoke, Xu Yanzhu could still feel the arm she was holding trembling lightly.

Only after hearing Xu Yanzhu's request did Dong Shu have a smile on his face, "Mn, since you asked for it, then I naturally won't blame her."

Hearing Third Aunt's words, Xu Yanzhu wanted to laugh but did not dare to, and could only endure.

She really did not expect her own Third Aunt to have such a side, and pretended to look quite like that. It was just that if the arm she was holding would not tremble, it would be more real.

Xu Yanzhu could tell that Dong Shu was pretending, naturally because she understood her, but the people from the Jiang Family did not.

When the servant saw that the young mistress had replied to him, Dong Shu naturally raised her status up a little.

Although his young madam's parents and brother did not have much potential, his eldest uncle and Third Uncle were both official figures. Especially this Third Aunt who he heard had good relations with his young mistress.

The servant woman didn't show it on the surface, but in her heart, she was trying to persuade her wife after they had left.

Dong Shu did not know what the servant woman was thinking in her heart.

Before Dong Shu even reached Mrs. Jiang's room, she smelt the rich smell of medicine. She turned her head and looked at Xu Yanzhu, and after seeing him nod her head faintly, she finally understood that this Madam Jiang Family was truly sick.

After understanding this point, Dong Shu immediately decided to follow the method that she had discussed with her husband last night.

After Dong Shu entered the Madam Jiang Family's room, she saw that the Madam Jiang Family had already changed into a set of guest clothes and was leaning on the bed.

Seeing Dong Shu walk in, she was just about to stand up and greet him, when Dong Shu already spoke up first: "Mrs. Jiang, no need to be so courteous. You are Yanzhu's mother-in-law, can I call you "relative"? "

Dong Shu's intention was very clear, because you are my Yanzhu's mother-in-law, I am willing to give you face, regardless of rank, only by blood.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, how could Madam Jiang Family refuse? Naturally, she nodded in agreement.

After she spoke, Dong Shu's face was now filled with the kindness of an elder. He turned to Xu Yanzhu and said: My Yanzhu has been sick a few times ever since she went to the Jiang Family. This child is kind, before I even married into the Xu Family, her grandmother's body wasn't well, but was personally waiting on me. Her grandmother said that Yanzhu had always been a filial child. Now that we have her service our relatives, although our family is not worried, after knowing that I have come to visit their families today, her grandmother and the Third Uncle both warned me to scold Yanzhu a few more times. "

After she finished speaking to Mrs. Jiang, without caring about the expression on her face, Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu and said: "Yanzhu, your grandmother and your Third Uncle have said that even though you have grown up by your grandmother's side and were raised by your grandmother, you must not hold yourself back. When it is time to filial Grandma, you must not retreat."

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu immediately bowed respectfully and said: "Yes, Yanzhu will remember Grandmother and Third Uncle's teachings."

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu nodded his head in satisfaction, then continued: "I naturally believe in you, just looking at how your aunt was raised by your grandmother, I know you must be a good person too."

Xu Yanzhu almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she saw her Third Aunt standing up for him and giving him a hand.

With what the Third Aunt had said, I believe that Grandma will not be able to rely on her identity as a senior to deal with him.

Like her aunt, she had been raised by her grandmother. If her mother-in-law said that she was insensible and wanted to make rules for her, it meant that her grandmother could not raise children.

But her grandmother's aunt was actually the Fifth Prince's Concubine. She was someone that Her Majesty, Empress and Consort De had praised before.

Since Xu Yanzhu could understand this point, the Mrs. Jiang naturally understood it even better.

She really didn't expect that, as soon as she revealed that she was going to help Jiang Han choose two rooms, the people from the Xu Family would come and visit.

However, the person who had just arrived was still a country lord of the same generation as her. In fact, there were even some country lords of the same rank.

As a result, she could not continue with her plans. Just now, the Lord of Fortune had made it very clear that after Xu Yanzhu had married into the Jiang Family, she had become ill several times over.

She was sick, and her daughter-in-law had not been able to take care of her in time. How could she have the heart to take care of her husband, much less have children?

Madam Jiang Family felt that the air in her chest wasn't good, and could not release any of her anger even if she wanted to.

Dong Shu didn't care about Mrs. Jiang's reaction at all. After she finished speaking to her family members of last night, Dong Shu then looked at Mrs. Jiang and said, "There is something that I need to clarify with my relatives first. In a few days, there will be a feast at home. At that time, don't go to your own home and not let them go. "

Dong Shu's words completely blocked off Madam Jiang Family's last resort.

Originally, Madam Jiang Family had planned to torture Xu Yanzhu after she left.

She could neither beat nor scold him, and there were many ways to torment him. However, Dong Shu's words were very clear, and in a few days time, he would ask Xu Yanzhu to help out with a banquet.

Xu Yanzhu also understood Third Aunt's meaning. Seeing her unsightly expression, she stealthily pulled on Third Aunt's sleeves.

Dong Shu had sensed Xu Yanzhu's actions and immediately reacted, looking at her wife: "My dear family, I see that you don't look too good, so I won't disturb you anymore, it's better if you rest a little more." After saying that, without waiting for Mrs. Jiang's reply, Dong Shu turned to Xu Yanzhu and said: "Yanzhu, this is the first time I'm here at Jiang Family. Take me to see it."

Dong Shu's identity here, was the rank of a country lord. Although it was not high, it was enough for merchant's Jiang Family.

Upon hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Yanzhu did not hesitate at all and directly bowed to the Mrs. Jiang: "Then your mother-in-law can rest, your daughter-in-law will take Third Aunt to take a look."

Mrs. Jiang could not not let Xu Yanzhu leave, he could only raise his hand and allow Xu Yanzhu to lead Dong Shu away.

Not only that, when Dong Shu left, she had to pay her respects to the village lord, even when she was still lying on the bed.
