In the end, Xu Yanzhu left the hall and returned to her own courtyard. She would never forget the look in Jiang Han's eyes when she left.

But she had to leave. For her next plan, she had to draw a line with Jiang Han.

No matter what was going on between him and the Mrs. Jiang, Xu Yanzhu did not want to know, nor did she want to participate.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu had returned, Cui Hua immediately brought two servants named by Xu Yanzhu as Flower Words and Flower Words to attend to him.

"First Miss, what's wrong with you?"

In the past few days, Cui Hua had been busy handing over matters at hand to Flower Speaker and Flower Words, so she didn't stay by Xu Yanzhu's side often. However, she didn't expect that after being away from First Miss for only a short while, First Miss actually came back with a pale face.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Cui Hua's voice, the taut strings in her heart finally loosened a bit. "I'm fine, Cui Hua, bring Flower Speaker and personally prepare some food for me.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Cui Hua did not ask anymore, but nodded at her, then led Hua Wen out of the house.

After Cui Hua brought Hua Yu away, Xu Yanzhu then looked at Hua Ci and said: "Hua Ci, can you contact him as soon as possible? I want to leave the Jiang Family earlier."

After today's incident, Xu Yanzhu did not want to stay in the Jiang Family for even a day. She was truly afraid that this madman, Jiang Han, would attack her.

Even if Jiang Han didn't attack him, there was still a Mrs. Jiang.

Although Jiang Han had suppressed almost all of her connections, who knew if she still had anyone in her that Jiang Han didn't know.

If it was said that the two of them hadn't fallen out with each other before, and that they were still able to maintain their outer peace, she only had to pay a little attention for now, and wouldn't be affected.

But now, this matter was truly uncertain.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Hua Ci immediately frowned: "Madam, did something happen today?" Saying that, Flower Speaker paused before continuing, "Madam, Master's matters are very complicated. Even if I send a letter to Master, Master might not be able to receive it in time."

Hearing Hua Ci's words, Xu Yanzhu paused for a moment, then said: "Since that's the case, then let's send the letter over first. We are here, and only I can be more careful."

When Hua Ci heard Xu Yanzhu's words, she quickly followed up: "Madam, you don't have to worry. Before Master left, he told me his servant and Hua Yu.

Xu Yanzhu heard Hua Ci and did not reply. She understood in her heart that Hua Ci and Hua Yu did indeed have the ability to bring her away.

But after she left?

Would Jiang Han, this madman, look for his grandmother and the Third Uncle at home?

She did not dare to try. She could not leave just like that without settling the matter and worrying about the rest of the matters.

For her own matters, no matter if it was her grandmother or the Third Aunt, they had spent a lot of effort, so she couldn't be that selfish.

Seeing that Xu Yanzhu did not say anything, Hua Yu more or less guessed what she was thinking. However, she and Hua Yu understood that if something really happened, they would definitely bring Madam along to leave.

For the time being, Xu Shiqiu and the others did not know about what happened at Jiang Family.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival was tomorrow, Dong Shu had already prepared many delicious foods. She had even personally started making the mooncakes from this afternoon.

"Make some mooncakes. Big brother, second brother's house, and big sister's house will need to be given some." After saying that, Dong Shu rubbed her arm, then continued to speak to Xu Shiqiu: "I still have to visit the Empress tomorrow morning, so I can only prepare these ingredients this afternoon. I'll wake up earlier tomorrow, and once the furnace is done, I'll immediately enter the palace."

Xu Shiqiu hugged Yuanxi as he cutely leaned into his father's embrace, staring at his mother with his big eyes.

"Then you don't have to do everything yourself. There are so many servants in the house, let them help you prepare the ingredients. You just need to control the taste at the end." Saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and sighed, then continued: "I know that you are truly filial towards Empress, but you cannot be tired because of these mooncakes. If Empress knew that you were tired of eating for these, she would definitely blame you too. "

Dong Shu understood that her husband's words made sense, but she felt that other than cooking personally, she had no other ability to express her filial piety to the empress.

"I was too idle recently and didn't work. Before I got married, I had to do it every year." Dong Shu's face turned slightly red. The way she said it was also what she was truly thinking in her heart.

He didn't feel tired thinking about how he had to wash his family's clothes and do other things.

However, he had only busied himself for the entire afternoon making some mooncakes, and he even had several servants helping him. He was actually so tired that his arms were aching.

Xu Shiqiu understood what he meant when he heard his, "It's not so good to compare now with before. My wife still wants to take care of things from the house, so my wife has to worry about a lot of things at home. And Yuanxi, even though you have a wet nurse and a servant serving you, I know very well that you have to spend one to two hours every day to accompany her. " After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Young Girl, who did not dare meet his gaze, and continued to speak with a smile: "So my wife, do not work so hard in the future.

Dong Shu was embarrassed by what Xu Shiqiu had said, but she did not nod her head to agree.

Dong Shu thought that it was simple. The Empress had treated her so well, she had nothing else to give to Empress, she only had this handmade mooncake. It was not bad, she thought, so she could make some for the Empress to taste.

Seeing Dong Shu not saying a word, Xu Shiqiu could guess what she was thinking.

Xu Shiqiu did not speak again, because he understood, although his own Young Girl was simple and honest, but there were some things that she had already decided on, and would not easily change.

"Tomorrow, I don't need to go to the military camp. You can enter the palace to visit the Empress and I'll head there as well." Xu Shiqiu felt that although Prince Duan was present during this competition, it was still better for him to enter the palace to see her.

Especially since there were two military generals who were in trouble at this time, and the two of them were unhappy with him before, they would definitely suspect that he had plotted against them.

After the Bearded General and the long-faced general calmed down, they started to mutter to themselves that they had probably been tricked by Xu Shiqiu.

When someone came to interrogate them, they would naturally speak of this matter.

The two of them thought that it was simple, regardless of whether Xu Shiqiu had anything to do with this matter or not, they would bite off the chunk of meat, what if it saved their lives?

The two of them were separated and imprisoned, but they managed to bite Xu Shiqiu out at the same time.

Originally, this matter did not need to alarm the Emperor Ruikang. Although the two of them were martial generals, their grades were not high enough for the Emperor Ruikang to trouble them during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But they had bit Xu Shiqiu, and since it was so, the people below had no choice but to report it.

Early in the morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xu Shiqiu entered the palace with Dong Shu.

Yesterday, Dong Shu had sent a letter to Phoenix Palace to the Mama Yan, and today, she would bring Yuanxi to visit the Empress Hu.

Only, Empress Hu did not expect to see Xu Shiqiu in passing.

"Why did you come to my place?" When Empress Hu saw Yuanxi and Dong Shu, she happily waved at them and even brought Yuanxi into her embrace skillfully.

On the other hand, Xu Shiqiu, who was standing beside Dong Shu, surprised her.

Xu Shiqiu did not say that he actually wanted to see the Emperor Ruikang. He said to the Empress Hu, "The Empress sees the Empress as her daughter. This subject, as her son-in-law, is always here for the Empress to see."

Empress Hu did not expect Xu Shiqiu to say these words to her. Although Xu Shiqiu was bold, she sounded kind and amiable.

Since she did see Dong Shu as her daughter, looking at him, naturally had the intent of being her son-in-law.

Empress Hu did not have any reaction, but Dong Shu was a little embarrassed by Xu Shiqiu's words.

"Empress, Master actually rarely rests at home, which is why she sent me and Yuanxi to the palace." Dong Shu took two steps forward, sat down on the ground under the Empress Hu, and then continued: "Also, I feel like my husband has come to complain to you."

As soon as Dong Shu finished speaking, the Empress Hu looked at him suspiciously: "Are you really here to complain?"

Xu Shiqiu guessed that he was doing it on purpose the moment he heard Young Girl's words.

In his heart, Xu Shiqiu never thought that Young Girl would actually become so lively. It was one thing, but Xu Shiqiu also understood that she was intentionally trying to pull him into his relationship with Empress Hu.

After he understood this point, Xu Shiqiu turned to the Empress Hu and said, "This is indeed the case." After speaking, under the puzzled gaze of the Empress Hu, Xu Shiqiu told his about how Dong Shu, in order to make the mooncake personally, had so tired herself that she couldn't even lift her arm last night.

"Empress, is what you said correct?" I need my wife to manage my family's affairs. She has so many things to do every day, and even this morning, I couldn't stop his. She actually got up early and personally baked more than a hundred mooncakes. " After saying that, Xu Shiqiu sighed and continued: "Even though this subject also wants to eat the mooncakes that she personally made, I really can't bear to part with her effort."

When he thought about how Dong Shu had actually made over a hundred pieces of mooncakes, and she only had twenty pieces left, he knew that she had definitely given them to some other person as well.

"You're right. Right now, your status is different. How could you personally spend so much time and effort on this?" As for those ladies and mistresses who said that they personally cooked the food, who didn't take a good look at them before being made by a servant woman? "With your sincerity, you actually did it yourself, and even did so much."

Empress Hu was also speaking the truth.

The women and girls from the rich families said that they cooked the food personally, but most of them only took a look before being cooked by the servants. Only a small part of it, might be able to make contact with his body twice, but Dong Shu's actions, who made a move on his own, were truly unheard-of.

Dong Shu also knew that her husband and Empress Hu were doing this for her own good. As a result, she only smiled foolishly, and did not agree to anything.

Xu Shiqiu and Empress Hu both understood her personality. Seeing her in such a state, they could only laugh helplessly and say nothing more.

But because of this, Empress Hu was even more satisfied with Xu Shiqiu.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu. She was just about to let the Mama Su lead him to the side hall to drink tea, so that she could have a few quiet words with Dong Shu. But unexpectedly, the Emperor Ruikang sent someone over to ask Xu Shiqiu a question.

It was unknown if the servant was foolish, or if he received orders from someone, but he intentionally revealed the truth in front of Empress Hu, saying that Xu Shiqiu was involved in a life and death lawsuit.

Hearing this, Empress Hu's face immediately changed.

From Empress Hu's point of view, Dong Shu brought his family to visit her during the Mid-Autumn Festival, afraid that she would feel lonely during this reunion.

But Emperor Ruikang, it's fine if he didn't come personally, but he actually sent people to his palace to call for help.

With that thought in mind, the Empress Hu opened her mouth and said, "I'll go with you." After saying that, the Empress Hu gave a cold laugh before continuing: "I want to see who wants to frame you."
