When Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu to the Main Yard, Xu Yanzhu had just been consoled by the Old Madame Xu to eat half a bowl of Giant Salamander Silver Ear Gourd porridge. When she saw Dong Shu enter the place with Xu Shiqiu, he immediately used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you're here." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu paused for a moment before continuing, "I have yet to congratulate Third Uncle on being promoted. I have prepared some gifts, and I don't know if Third Uncle is happy with it or not."
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu did not speak, and only greeted the Old Madame Xu leisurely, then pulled Dong Shu to the side and sat down.
It was only until they had sat down that Xu Shiqiu finally spoke to Xu Yanzhu in a soft voice: "You don't have to worry, we are all family here. Just say whatever you have to say, we will always support you."
Xu Shiqiu had just finished speaking when Xu Yanzhu was stunned for a moment, then she immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Shiqiu with his red eyes, seeing that Third Uncle was looking at his with eyes full of encouragement, Xu Yanzhu suddenly mustered up her courage and said: "Third Uncle, I heard personally from Jiang Han that someone close to him had instructed my mother-in-law to be drugged, and wanted to send her underground to atone for her sins before the end of the year." Saying that, Xu Yanzhu seemed to have lost all her strength and slumped back in her chair.
The few people sitting in the hall did not expect that the words that Xu Yanzhu had been holding back for so long, the words that she would only be willing to speak about in front of Xu Shiqiu, was actually this.
Thinking that Jiang Han actually dared to drug Mrs. Jiang, Dong Shu and the rest did not know what to say.
They all knew that the Mrs. Jiang was not Jiang Han's biological mother, but no matter what, the world did not know.
And seeing that Mrs. Jiang had treated Jiang Han well for so many years, then why did Jiang Han drug him?
"After I heard all of this, I was so scared that I didn't dare make a sound. Luckily I had followed my grandfather to train in martial arts when I was young, and knew how to restrain my aura. Otherwise, I might have been discovered by Jiang Han and his trusted aides." As she spoke, Xu Yanzhu tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hands. She really did not expect that Jiang Han would be such a vicious and merciless person.
"After I was certain that Jiang Han and the others had left, I returned to my courtyard. But when I think about how Jiang Han drugged my mother-in-law, I feel extremely terrified, afraid that one day he will treat me the same way. "
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu and the rest finally understood why Xu Yanzhu was so afraid.
After all, Xu Yanzhu didn't have much feelings for this mother-in-law. She would be afraid, simply because she was worried that Jiang Han would make a move against her in the future.
It was just that this matter was not something that the people from Xu Family could solve openly.
"Regarding the Jiang Family, it would be inconvenient for us to get involved with outsiders. Moreover, we don't even know if there are any other grudges between Jiang Han and the Mrs. Jiang. If there is any other grudge between the two, and if Mrs. Jiang has attacked Jiang Han before, then you can't blame Jiang Han for taking action now. " Xu Shiqiu was now the patriarch of a family. Naturally, the few female members of the family could hear his words.
"It's just that Yanzhu being afraid and living in the Jiang Family is not a big deal. Tomorrow morning, we'll ask the Doctor Du to let you see. If Jiang Han really wants to kill you, then Third Uncle has other ways to take care of him. "
Now that Xu Shiqiu had the position of an official and his own Young Girl was a popular person in front of the empress, it was very easy for him to take care of a business.
even if the Jiang Family has climbed all the way to Third Prince.
Old Madame Xu also felt that Xu Shiqiu's words were reasonable. They did not know much about the Jiang Family, if they were to suddenly intervene, it would definitely lead to gossip.
Even more so, Old Madame Xu had other intentions in her heart. Up till now, her granddaughter was unwilling to interact more with Jiang Han, and was also unwilling to get along with him. If they really went overboard and Jiang Han exposed this matter, the people would only say that it was her Xu Family that was in the wrong.
Seeing Xu Shiqiu's face filled with fatigue, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "You must be tired these past few days, so you should hurry back to rest. Tomorrow morning, I will let you have a look at Yanzhu's pulse."
With Old Madame Xu's words, this matter could be put to rest for the time being.
After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left, Old Madame Xu revealed all of her thoughts to Xu Yanzhu.
After Xu Yanzhu finished listening to Old Madame Xu's explanation, she said anxiously: "Grandmother, I do not have any intention of hating Third Uncle. Jiang Han might not be that intimate with me, but it's still okay. "
What Xu Yanzhu had said was the truth. She had married Jiang Han for a long time, and although Jiang Han did not treat her like how Third Uncle treated her, nor did he treat her like how his uncle treated his aunt, he had never given her any face.
In the past two days, she was so afraid of Jiang Han, completely because she did not expect him to be such a person. At the same time, she was worried that there would be a day when Jiang Han would make a move against her.
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, the Old Madame Xu sighed: "Yanzhu, you should know that Jiang Han would definitely not do such a thing for no reason at all." After saying that, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing, "I wonder how your mood has been in the past few days, did Jiang Han sense anything wrong?"
"Probably not." Upon hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Yanzhu immediately opened her mouth, seeing the Old Madame Xu looking at her with a puzzled expression, she immediately blushed and continued: "The past two days were the days that I have been unhappy for every month, not to mention that after he finished telling me about this matter, he was busy going to the shop to check on me, and did not come back."
With Xu Yanzhu's words, even though Old Madame Xu was half relieved, she still kept it to herself.
Xu Yanzhu knew that what she had done this time had made her family worried, so when she saw her grandmother sigh, she said somewhat embarrassedly: "It's also because I haven't experienced too much, so I got Grandmother, Third Uncle and Third Aunt to worry together with me."
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, the Old Madame Xu shook her head and said: "Don't think too much about it. Since your Third Uncle is filial to me and loves you, your niece, it is only right that he spend some time and effort on you. "
With Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Yanzhu's heart felt a little better.
On the second day, Doctor Du was first invited to diagnose the safe vein in the Old Madame Xu, and then, to check Xu Yanzhu's pulse according to Old Madame Xu's wishes.
However, the Doctor Du's medical skills were extraordinary, he discovered that Xu Yanzhu's body was still that of a virgin the moment he connected him to his vein.
"Yanzhu has way too many thoughts. It's better to think less about things everyday." Doctor Du did not reveal that Xu Yanzhu was still a virgin. She had known for many years, and the relationship between him and the Xu Family was not that of an ordinary doctor or an employer. He also had some intentions of treating Xu Yanzhu as a junior.
Those who were familiar with the change in Doctor Du's expression earlier naturally noticed it. Seeing that he did not point it out and had instead said something that made Xu Yanzhu think less, Old Madame Xu also could not help but nod her head.
"Yanzhu is too preoccupied with this, do you think you should prescribe some medicine for her to eat?"
As soon as Old Lady Xu finished speaking, Doctor Du shook his head. "There's no need for that. The medicine has three parts, and it's better not to take the medicine." Saying that, Doctor Du thought for a moment before continuing, "Didn't Yan Zhu brew some fruit wine a few days ago? From now on, he would have a drink before going to bed, so he didn't need to drink too much. He would have a small cup every day and enjoy it for a few days first. "If you sleep well, then slowly stop drinking this fruit wine.
Doctor Du only knew that the fruit wine brewed by Xu Yanzhu and the others were just too weak. Even if he drank it every day, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Hearing Doctor Du's words, the Old Madame Xu immediately nodded his head, and instructed Xu Yanzhu to memorize them.
"Also, if there's time in the future, it's better for Yanzhu to go out and wander around.
Doctor Du stood in front of his elders and spoke a few more words of consolation to Xu Yanzhu before carrying his medicinal case and prepared to leave.
Just as Doctor Du was about to leave, Dong Shu coincidentally brought Yuanxi here to eat and drink to her heart's content.
Upon seeing Yuanxi, Doctor Du was beaming with joy as he put down the medicine box and reached out his hands to her. Yuanxi was not afraid of him, and upon seeing him extend his hands, he extended his arms out to him as well.
Seeing that Yuanxi was very close to the Doctor Du, Dong Shu pursed her lips and laughed: "Yuanxi, your energy is getting better and better now, and I coincidentally have something to take care of at home for the next two days. If Yanzhu has time, why not help me bring Yuanxi along too."
When Xu Yanzhu heard Third Aunt giving him some work to do, she knew that she must have heard what the Doctor Du said just now. She wanted him to be busy so that she would not think too much.
Only Yuanxi's younger cousin was really cute. She was already at the age where she ought to have children, so naturally she was willing to play with her.
Seeing that Xu Yanzhu agreed, Dong Shu immediately settled the matter.
"Mother, last night my husband said that the date of the banquet would be set five days later. That day, Xiu Mu, along with a few of the generals' most capable subordinates, also brought them to the house to pay their respects to you. "
The Old Madame Xu did not care about her family's matters. Dong Shu had been doing really well, so she could let go of her worries.
Now that he heard her words, he naturally nodded his head in agreement.
"Five days later will be five days, and it just so happens that Yanzhu will be staying at home for another two days."
Hearing Old Madame Xu say that, Dong Shu was stunned for a moment before reacting to her meaning.
"Then I'll have someone go to the Jiang Family later to send some medicinal ingredients, and say that my body hasn't been feeling good these few days, and that I coincidentally have a feast at home, so I'll let Yanzhu stay at home for a few more days."
Ever since she had used her identity as a 'country lord' the last time, Dong Shu liked to work with this identity even more.
Old Madame Xu heard her meaning, but did not speak up to stop her. Jiang Han had not been at home for the past few days, so it was likely that no one from the Jiang Family was able to bring him back.
Xu Yanzhu naturally knew that the Third Aunt wanted him to stay at home for two more days to relax, and knew that the reason why the Third Aunt would do such a thing was because of him, so she was naturally even more grateful to her.
At the same time, Xu Yanzhu felt that she had truly been blessed in his previous life, which was why she could meet such a good family member in this life.
As for her parents and two younger brothers, Xu Yanzhu thought that with such a good grandmother, Third Uncle, and Third Aunt, they would treat him a little coldly, so there was nothing much to it.
Xu Yanzhu had no objections to this matter. Old Madame Xu secretly supported him, so Dong Shu naturally did not care at all.
Because she was worried that the Jiang Family would have something to say, Dong Shu made the Mama Yan follow them and told him to lower her stance.
"After all, we can't bully them based on our status."
Right now, Dong Shu's attitude was becoming more and more natural. Mama Yan understood Dong Shu's intentions and would naturally settle this matter well.
As expected, Jiang Family had no objections, and Mrs. Jiang had even said words that asked Xu Yanzhu to help them out for a few more days.
Thus, it was finally the day before Xu Shiqiu's banquet.
It was also on this day that Xu Shiqiu finally understood the intentions of the few generals who blocked him a few days ago.
