The main general who was left behind wanted to curse Xu Shiqiu, because not only did he exchange for their two generals, he had also drugged their soldiers.

Although he had a lot of things to say, in the end, he didn't say them out loud.

Although he felt that the method Xu Shiqiu used was not good, he understood that on the real battlefield, Xu Shiqiu could do this.

When the victory was achieved, Shangguan and His Majesty would only pay attention to whether or not you had won. They would not ask how you had won.

Furthermore, after the event, Xu Shiqiu had also explained that although the medicine his subordinate had given them would make them weak for six hours, in these six hours, all they needed to do was to drink a bowl of soup with medicinal ingredients, and the hidden injuries on their bodies would be healed by a little or two.

Most importantly, other than the fact that this powder can make a person weak for six hours, there is no other effect.

This point was also proven by the royal physician brought by the Prince Duan.

Furthermore, after the competition ended, they found out that there was still a huge matter waiting to be dealt with.

Not only did the Bearded General and the long-faced military general violate the military rules, they even got involved in a life and death lawsuit in the capital's Flower Tower.

With this matter at the forefront, the Prince Duan did not pay much attention to the schemes that Xu Shiqiu had used in this competition.

After announcing the victory of the soldiers led by Xu Shiqiu, Prince Duan brought the few officials who came along with him and rushed back to the capital. They needed to report the matter of the martial general killing people in the flower pavilion as soon as possible.

If he didn't handle this matter well, it might affect His Majesty's reputation.

After all, their official positions had risen through the ranks of the Saints.

After seeing that Prince Duan had brought his men and left, Xu Shiqiu then ordered the entire army to rest, killing the last batch of pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, and the entire army to eat. Starting from tomorrow, the three days of holiday could also allow the soldiers of Lu Yuan to go home and visit their families.

Xu Shiqiu will give this order, other than being permitted by the Prince Duan, it will also be the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, His Majesty will probably send an imperial edict over.

The soldiers in the first batch all performed very well, especially those in Iron Eagle Brigade. After this competition, it was about time they saw blood.

After settling the matters in the camp, Xu Shiqiu packed his things and prepared to return home.

Due to the competition this time around, he had not returned for several days. It was unknown if his family had any major matters to attend to.

The Xu Family had not been a big deal lately. Other than Yuanxi growing older and more sensitive to voices, who was thinking of having someone carry him out to play every day, nothing had really happened.

It's just that there really were some things regarding the Xu Family that were related to marriage.

At the beginning of the month, when Jiang Han went out to check his accounts, due to the Mid-Autumn Festival, he finally returned home on the 14th of August.

According to usual habit, when Jiang Han returned home, his family would always sit together for a meal.

It was just that Xu Yanzhu never thought that this meal would become her mother-in-law's death-urging rice.

The next day was August fifteenth, so the feast at the house on August fourteenth was rather simple. There were only three hosts, and although the food was exquisite, there were only ten dishes.

arranged two dishes that he liked to eat out of the ten dishes. The four dishes that Jiang Han and his mother-in-law ordered were so that the mother and son could finish the meal in peace.

But when the dishes were served, Jiang Han made his trusted aide bring him a plate of steamed crab.

"I brought this back especially for mother to eat. Mother, don't you love eating crabs the most? In order to bring back these crabs, I came back on horseback. " As Jiang Han said that, he ordered the servant woman to help him remove the crabs.

If he only did that, perhaps Mrs. Jiang was just angered by him and would not have any other problems, but when Mrs. Jiang called Xu Yanzhu to eat the crabs, he actually made a move to stop him.

"Yanzhu's body is not suitable for eating crabs, these crabs were all brought back by me specially for mother, you must eat more."

Jiang Han's words caused the dining hall to fall into a strange silence.

Xu Yanzhu did not expect that after Jiang Han returned this time, it would be so direct. That crab, there was no need to guess, as it knew there was definitely a problem.

Since Jiang Han stopped him from eating the crab, Xu Yanzhu could not say anything.

After all, she was an outsider's wife, and since Mrs. Jiang didn't treat her very well, she could only remain silent.

But just as she was about to fall silent, Jiang Han had already instructed the servant woman who was disassembling the crab just now to disassemble a crab and wait for Mrs. Jiang to start eating.

From her posture, it was obvious that he was prepared to break the second crab after Mrs. Jiang had finished eating.

Xu Yanzhu could clearly feel the strange atmosphere between Jiang Han and her mother-in-law. Just as she was considering whether he should find a reason to leave first, Jiang Han turned to the Mrs. Jiang and asked, "Why isn't Mother eating? Don't you love eating crabs? Weren't you looking forward to buying all the crabs in the capital? "

When Xu Yanzhu heard this, all the hairs on her body immediately stood up.

She felt that what happened today might be related to some matters that she didn't know about before.

If not for the fact that her mother-in-law had done this before, Jiang Han would definitely not have done such a thing today.

Xu Yanzhu still clearly remembered what the Doctor Du had said about the cold nature of crabs. Although it was delicious, he could not eat too much. Especially women with cold bodies, they were even more forbidden to eat too much. After touching the crab, it was best to take more Red Sugar Ginger Tea to warm their bodies.

Xu Yanzhu was not clear about anything else, but she knew that her mother-in-law's condition was currently not good and could not eat anything cold.

Just as Xu Yanzhu was about to say that she was not feeling well, Mrs. Jiang suppressed her anger and said to Jiang Han: "You know about it?"

Hearing the calm tone of the Mrs. Jiang, Xu Yanzhu had just gotten up. Before she could even open her mouth, she heard Jiang Han's cold laughter, "Could it be that mother thinks that she can hide this from me for the rest of her life?" After saying that, Jiang Han turned to Mrs. Jiang and said, "However, what I did was not as meticulous as what Mother did. I even knew that I would need to change the appearance of this crab before bringing it up."

As soon as Jiang Han finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu quickly turned to him and said, "I remember there's something I need to tell Cui Hua, so I'll go take a look first." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu wanted to quickly leave this place.

If it was before, she might still be thinking about what exactly happened between Jiang Han and Mrs. Jiang.

But now, ever since she had met her brother Yan, she no longer had this thought in her mind.

It was just that Xu Yanzhu did not expect Jiang Han to stop her after she had just stood up and said those words to him.

"Yanzhu, you should stay. Listen to these things and be more shrewd in the future. "You have to know, there are some things that can kill you even though they look exquisite."

When Xu Yanzhu heard these words, it was as if all the blood in her body had been frozen solid.

From Jiang Han's words and her mother-in-law's reaction, she could guess that Jiang Han's wife dying early was definitely related to her mother-in-law.

Even if Jiang Han's second wife was his mother-in-law, she would not make a move against his own niece. But what about his first concubine who died in childbirth?

I heard that Jiang Han had a very good relationship with her. While she was pregnant, Mrs. Jiang had always taken care of her, but when she was giving birth, she died a corpse.

Thinking about it, Xu Yanzhu felt that her entire body was extremely cold.

Thinking about how it had been almost a year since he married into the sect, and how Jiang Han still hadn't consummated his marriage, it was very possible that he was afraid of his and would end up like her.

Yes, yes.

It must be so, otherwise why would Jiang Han always have this kind of attitude towards his, saying that he was close, but he always had this kind of control.

He must have wanted to settle the matter of the Mrs. Jiang before making amends with him.

It was impossible for him to not have children. Jiang Family required an heir, and Xu Family was the best family that Jiang Han could currently choose.

After figuring out all these things, Xu Yanzhu could neither leave nor stay.

"Cousin, you're in serious trouble. Before we got married, my grandmother and aunts taught me everything." They are all daughters that have been carefully raised by the family, and there are always some methods that they use in the inner chamber. " Xu Yanzhu tried her best to make it seem natural. After saying this, she thought for a while before continuing: "However, after marrying my cousin for a year, Yanzhu also understood how my cousin felt about Yanzhu. In Yanzhu's heart, you will always be Yanzhu's big brother. "

What Xu Yanzhu said today was also to pave the way for him to mention her relationship with Jiang Han in the future.

She clearly understood that in his heart, Jiang Han was only his cousin, not his husband.

Therefore, what she said first, was not entirely on Jiang Han's side.

After Jiang Han heard what Xu Yanzhu said, he did not say anything and only raised his eyes to look at her.

Xu Yanzhu could feel Jiang Han's gaze on his, but she did not say anything, because she had already chosen another path. Between Jiang Han and his, they could only be siblings.
