Dong Shu held her breath the moment he saw Mrs. Jiang, and only until she left his courtyard and arrived in front of his, did she let out a sigh of relief after Xu Yanzhu gave her a meaningful glance.
Seeing that Third Aunt had revealed a look of relief, Xu Yanzhu could not hold back and laughed out loud, "Third Aunt, your act today is pretty good, if not for the fact that I understand you too well, I might really have been tricked by you."
Upon hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu immediately laughed embarrassedly: "Isn't it your Third Uncle? She said that I must carry it like this today in order to support you."
Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, she looked at her happily: "Third Aunt, I know all about it." After saying that, seeing that Third Aunt was nodding her head, she continued to act coquettishly: "I know that you and Third Uncle love me, but why did you come to Jiang Family today?"
Your Third Uncle has guessed correctly. He said that you might not know about this. Dong Shu opened her mouth right after Xu Yanzhu finished speaking. After she said this, she revealed a puzzled look and immediately explained: "Yesterday, your grandmother received news from the Jiang Family that your mother-in-law wasn't pregnant after seeing you get married for a year. She wanted to choose two rooms for Jiang Han to share with her. And as long as any of them can conceive, they will be carried away as concubines. "
"This matter …" Xu Yanzhu was intelligent, upon hearing Dong Shu's words, she understood immediately. The news must have come from Jiang Han.
Dong Shu saw that Xu Yanzhu could think of something, so she nodded and continued: "Your grandmother also said that Jiang Han was the one who passed this information onto the Xu Family, I was worried about you, so I came here to take a look."
"Third Aunt, I really didn't know that my mother-in-law actually had such a plan." Xu Yanzhu understood that his mother was worried about her, and the feelings Third Aunt had for her were even more extraordinary.
However, she didn't actually object to this matter.
"Third Aunt, you should be clear that I do not have any feelings for Jiang Han." Therefore, no matter how many women that mother-in-law of hers had wanted to get for Jiang Han, she would not be angry.
Dong Shu did not expect Xu Yanzhu to say something like that, because Xu Shiqiu did not think of it before, although she felt that Xu Yanzhu's idea was wrong, but she did not know what to say.
After a moment of thought, Dong Zhui then continued, "Today's matter will most likely be suppressed for a period of time because of me. In a few days, your Third Uncle and His Majesty will have an agreed date of three months. After that, your Third Uncle will probably be promoted. "At that time, there will be a family banquet. The Zhang Clan, Hu Clan and other families with in-laws will all be here." Seeing Xu Yanzhu nod at him, Dong Zhui quickly continued, "The words I just said to your mother-in-law weren't false. I'll be busy at home in a few days. You have to help me.
"Don't worry Third Aunt, I will definitely go." Xu Yanzhu knew that her family was doing this for her own good, but she really didn't want to have anything with Jiang Han.
Currently, her relationship with Jiang Han was very good. If Jiang Han needed an heir to pass on his legacy, she could ignore how many women he had.
Only, Xu Yanzhu did not say these words to Dong Shu today.
Although Xu Yanzhu did not say it, but when Dong Shu returned home and recounted the events of the day in detail, both Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu could guess what Xu Yanzhu was thinking.
"Mother, don't be anxious about this matter. "In a few days, you can discuss it with elder sister and decide what to do when the time comes." After Xu Shiqiu looked at the Old Madame Xu in front of him, he saw that she was still frowning. After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Yanzhu's temperament is also very stubborn, and it's not easy to convince him otherwise.
What else could the Old Madame Xu say after what Xu Shiqiu had said?
She knew that Xu Shiqiu was busy training the new soldiers for the last time, and taking the time out to ask Xu Yanzhu about the things that had happened was already the result of him caring about Xu Yanzhu.
"Mother knows. In two days, your sister will come back to see me. I'll discuss this with her." After saying this, the Old Madame Xu saw Xu Shiqiu nod his head and continued, "Don't worry about the matters at home. With me and Shu'er here, nothing bad will happen. These days, you've been busy with matters of the military camp.
With Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Shiqiu did not speak anymore, and directly brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard.
After returning to the Shihuan Courtyard, Dong Shu then asked Xu Shiqiu what the meaning of the conversation he had with her mother-in-law earlier was.
It was only when he heard the words of the Young Girl did Xu Shiqiu understand that this was the first time the Young Girl had encountered such a thing.
As a result, Xu Shiqiu was unable to rest, and quickly explained in detail to her.
"My wife, change your identity. If mother were to arrange another woman for me, how would you feel?"
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu frowned and shook her head, "It can't be, Mother would never do something like that."
Xu Shiqiu never thought that his own Young Girl would say such a thing, but he had to admit, with his mother's character, she would definitely not do such a thing.
"My wife, I know that my mother would not do such a thing." What I mean is, if you are Yanzhu, and I am Jiang Han, then that Madam Jiang Family is your mother-in-law, she has other women to arrange for me. "
Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu felt her eyes turn sore, and her heart ache.
"Husband, don't say that. Just thinking about such a thing will make my heart ache."
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu immediately laughed, "I know how you treat me, and how you take me to heart. But when you saw Yanzhu today, did she have an uncomfortable expression? "
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately regained her senses, leaving the soreness in her heart, she started to recall the expression on Xu Yanzhu's face today.
"No, Yanzhu doesn't have any sad expression." After saying that, Dong Shu immediately reacted: "Husband, the reason I am feeling sad is because I have placed you in my heart, but is Yanzhu not sad because she does not put Jiang Han in her heart?"
"Yes, my wife is very intelligent." After praising Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu then continued: "It's precisely because Yanzhu does not take Jiang Han to heart, so no matter how many women Madam Jiang Family has arranged for Jiang Han, she will not be angry."
Finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu paused for a moment, and suddenly continued: "I believe Jiang Han also understood this point, so when he found out about Madam Jiang Family's thoughts, he did not inform Yanzhu, but directly passed on the news to our family."
"Then what should we do? Is it really possible that Mrs. Jiang is going to arrange for a few rooms for Jiang Han? " When Dong Shu thought about this situation, she couldn't help but feel that it wasn't worth it.
Seeing Dong Shu's sad expression, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief and then said: "What should I do, the most important thing right now is to look at Yanzhu. If she really doesn't want to have anything with Jiang Han, I'm afraid we won't be able to stop her even if Jiang Family wants to carry the aunt. Wasn't she coming back in a few days? When the time comes, Mother and Big Sister will definitely come to a conclusion. Listen to Mother and see what she has in mind. No matter what, we will always go for Yanzhu. "
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded her head obediently.
Seeing his Young Girl being so obedient, Xu Shiqiu suddenly thought back to what she had told him before.
"Your husband really did not expect that the Young Girl would have such a side to it. Your performance in Jiang Family today, is very good."
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's praise, Dong Shu felt proud yet embarrassed. Just as she was about to open her mouth and say something, she heard Xu Shiqiu say, "My wife, I don't think I have the time to come back every night for the next few days. Take care of yourself and Yuanxi at home, and Mother will take time to take a look around at your place every day. Once I've completed my promise with His Majesty for three months, I'll be free for a few more days to specially accompany you. "
Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu immediately nodded her head: "Husband, don't worry, go do what you need to do with your heart at ease. I'm here to take care of the matters at home."
When they first met, she was extremely busy every single day, but now, she was able to find time to play with Yuanxi.
Xu Shiqiu also knew about Dong Shu's recent performance, which was why he said such words today.
"Your husband knows that his wife is fine. Being able to marry her is your husband's greatest blessing in life."
Dong Shu had not heard Xu Shiqiu say such words for a long time, the corners of her mouth could not help but rise, her eyes were filled with joy towards Xu Shiqiu.
How could Xu Shiqiu endure being looked at like that by Young Girl? Without any hesitation, he lowered his head and kissed her lips.
It was as if this was the only way to express the feelings he had for the Young Girl.
Dong Shu didn't know what Xu Shiqiu was thinking. The moment he was kissed by Xu Shiqiu, he couldn't care less about other things.
That night, the couple made a scene twice before resting.
From the second day, Xu Shiqiu was really as he had said that night. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go home.
Just as Xu Shiqiu was getting busy, the Empress Hu in the palace suddenly sent a letter to Dong Shu, telling her to go to the palace.
Although Dong Shu didn't understand why the Empress Hu allowed him to enter the palace, since she had already spoken, she naturally couldn't pretend not to know.
The empress allowing Dong Shu to enter the palace was not an urgent matter, it was the matter of Emperor Ruikang bringing up the matter of Xu Shiqiu training the new soldiers in front of her again.
"Your Majesty, I understand. I'm afraid he's already had a new plan for the autumn and felt uneasy. That's why he couldn't help but come here and say a few words." Due to the attack Empress Hu did before, she was now gradually regaining control of the palace.
In the days when she was recuperating, the palace was controlled by the imperial concubine and the Consort De. But now that she had grasped some of the main palace powers, she gave the rest to the Consort De.
With the help of the Consort De, she did not feel tired anymore, but she knew more about the matters of the Imperial Palace.
However, perhaps it was because of this action, the imperial concubine had no choice but to send another message back to her parents' home.
"This matter should be caused by the imperial concubine's family. I don't know what kind of deal the imperial concubine and His Majesty made this time, but based on His Majesty's intentions, it shouldn't be long before Ye Jingche is released. "
After the Empress Hu finished speaking to Dong Shu, although she nodded seriously, her face was filled with puzzlement. She could not help but console him: "Don't be afraid of this, go back and send a message to Shiqiu. He should be prepared for it after he learns of this."
Hearing Empress Hu's words, Dong Shu nodded her head obediently.
And just like this, the three months promised between the Emperor Ruikang and Xu Shiqiu had finally arrived.
