Although the few masters of Xu Family had guessed that Xu Yanzhu had something to hide from them, they knew that the most important thing right now was the Mrs. Jiang's funeral.

As a result, he didn't rush to investigate anything.

However, what they did not know was that due to this idea, many things would happen in the future.

Although Dong Shu was anxious to find out what happened to Xu Yanzhu, she also understood that she shouldn't be too obvious.

Since it was too obvious for Dong Shu to do, and Xu Yanzhu intentionally hid it, when the Mrs. Jiang's funeral was over, Dong Shu still did not manage to find any news.

It was not the first time that the Jiang Family had conducted a funeral, and had experienced the death of his father a few days ago.

No matter what Mrs. Jiang had done before, now that he was no longer alive, everything had been buried along with the loess.

But after the Mrs. Jiang was buried, she did not finish the funeral arrangements. There were still three, seven, five, seven, and a hundred days of sacrifices left to make.

Only after a hundred days of sacrifices would Jiang Family close the doors to protect it, but Jiang Han could not ignore the business outside.

Therefore, the only person who truly needed to close his eyes and observe filial piety was Xu Yanzhu.

That day, when Xu Yanzhu warned her, Xu Yanzhu became sick when the Mrs. Jiang was buried in the ground. With her expression, even if she did not lie, she could tell that it was not good.

Most of Madame Jiang had been staying in the Jiang Family for the past few days. Seeing that her daughter was sick, she was sure that she would stay and take care of her.

"With your mother-in-law's death, Yanlang's marriage at home will be pushed back by half a year. With this little face, you still have to give Jiang Family." Madame Jiang was not happy when she mentioned this.

Jiang Family was her family, and now that her sister-in-law had passed away, no matter how anxious she was to arrange the marriage for her son, it would not be appropriate to arrange it when her sister-in-law died.

After pushing it for half a year, it just so happened that Jiang Family's funeral was over, and it could be considered to have left some face for her family.

Originally, Xu Yanzhu did not want to ask her mother to come down and speak. Although Jiang Han was in charge of the grandmother's funeral, she was still distracted by it.

Furthermore, she had a worry in her heart and had been on tenterhooks all day. It was not easy for her to finally be able to rest for a period of time. Who knew that her mother would stay behind to accompany her?

However, she still couldn't say what was wrong with her mother. After all, her mother had stayed behind because her mother had seen that her expression wasn't good.

"Mother, Grandmother and Aunt are in charge of Yanlang's marriage. It's fine even if we push it back for half a year, as long as the Xu family does not object." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu took up the teacup by her side, and drank a mouthful of warm water. Only then did she look at her mother and continued, "Since the family is still filial, you shouldn't stay in the Jiang Family all day, in case Grandmother thinks that you have put Jiang Family above Xu Family."

If it was before, Xu Yanzhu would definitely not say these words, but she really wanted to rest for a while.

However, her mother was at the Jiang Family and had to come and talk to her everyday, so she couldn't avoid seeing her.

But every day, she had to split her energy to accompany her mother. She really did feel very tired.

Madame Jiang knew that Xu Yanzhu's words were reasonable, but she was still a little displeased. She also understood that staying in the Jiang Family was not the only thing to do.

"Then mother will come home tomorrow morning." After saying this, the Madame Jiang thought for a moment, and in the end, said while looking at Xu Yanzhu, "Yanzhu, you and Jiang Han have already been married for a year. After three years, you will be in your twenties. Do you have any plans for this matter? "

Xu Yanzhu did not expect her mother to suddenly tell her this.

However, she also understood that the reason her mother said this was because she was worried about her.

"Mother, in the past few days, you should have already understood that the current patriarch of Jiang Family is Jiang Han. Wait until three years later, if Jiang Han wants a concubine, he can take in more or less. " As for himself, Xu Yanzhu thought clearly, she had to leave the Jiang Family as soon as possible, even if he couldn't leave in broad daylight, even if it meant pretending to be dead, she had to leave.

Because Xu Yanzhu had already decided to leave, she did not care about what Jiang Han would do in the future.

But Xu Yanzhu never expected that right after she finished speaking, Madame Jiang would look at her with a 'why are you so useless' expression.

Xu Yanzhu did not have Jiang Han in her heart, so she did not care about how many women Jiang Han would have in the future, because she felt that she would definitely think of a way to leave within three years.

But Madame Jiang did not think so.

Currently, both brother and sister had passed away, and the one in charge of Jiang Family was his nephew.

Although the Madame Jiang believed that she treated her nephew very well, she was still a nephew and not her own son.

But if their daughter was able to give birth to the eldest grandson of Jiang Family, with this layer of relationship, they could continue to rely on Jiang Family in the future as one wife.

How could Xu Yanzhu not understand her mother's thoughts, but Xu Yanzhu was unwilling to listen to her.

"Mother, I have already fulfilled your wish of marrying someone and returned your favor. "You should not ask about how I will live in the future."

In the end, Xu Yanzhu still said those words. If Big Brother Yan didn't appear, then she didn't mind staying in Jiang Family to be a qualified housewife.

But now, she wanted to live for once.

Madame Jiang never thought that Xu Yanzhu would say such a thing. Although she knew that her daughter had already gotten along with her because of the marriage, she never thought that her daughter would actually say such a thing to her.

Although Madame Jiang was biased towards her son, Xu Yanzhu was still born to her. Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, she felt an intense pain in her heart, and she no longer stayed at Xu Yanzhu's place, and immediately turned and left.

Watching Madame Jiang leave, Cui Hua who was serving by the side worriedly walked forward and said, "First Miss has been feeling really uncomfortable these past few days, why do you have to keep angering your body?"

Even if it was more than a year, Cui Hua still wouldn't be able to say it. Although she had only served Xu Yanzhu for more than a year, she still felt pained for him from the bottom of her heart.

Xu Yanzhu understood what Cui Hua was thinking, she raised his hand and patted the back of her hand, and Xu Yanzhu said: "I know that you pity me, and originally planned to let you return to Third Aunt's side after this period of time, but since you want to be filial, I might as well let you go now." After saying that, Xu Yanzhu thought for a while before continuing, "I might as well wait until after the Hundred Day Sacrifice. By that time, I believe my body will also have recovered."

"This matter is not urgent. Madam has also sent a message for me to look after the First Miss." Although Cui Hua also wanted to return to the Xu Family, she understood that it would be impossible for him to do so in the near future.

Although she did not understand medicine, she could tell from First Miss's expression that she was not in a good condition and needed to recuperate.

Seeing that Cui Hua genuinely wanted to stay behind and take care of him for a while, Xu Yanzhu did not mention anything about letting her leave the Jiang Family at all.

With Jiang Family here, Xu Yanzhu obediently stayed in the courtyard to mourn for her mother-in-law.

Jiang Family's funeral naturally would not affect Xu Family, it was just that after a few days of Jiang Family's funeral, the matter of Bearded General and the long-faced general also came to a conclusion.

Although the long-faced military general did not kill directly, his wife was still charged with murder.

The most important thing was that the long-faced general had violated the rules and left the army camp during the competition. According to Xu Shiqiu's plans, although this competition was just a competition, it was still a true battle.

If this was really on the battlefield, someone like them would definitely become a spy.

Since the party that wanted to severely punish the two of them was certain of this, the punishment they received from the imperial court was not too lenient.

And just at this time, Bearded General's wife took out a huge stack of account books and reported his husband to his.

These account books not only had the records of the soldiers' salaries that had been withheld from the Bearded General for the past few years, but also the records of the Bearded General bribing his superior.

It was unknown what temper this Bearded General had, but in the account book, there was also the fact that he spent money on the brothel, as well as the fact that he took over a part of his wife's dowry record back then.

The bearded man's wife knelt in the lobby and cried about the tyrannical reputation she had spread outside all these years. There was nothing she could do. Otherwise, she would not be able to protect her final dowry and her two children.

Madam Ye's actions had stunned many people. Not only did she recount the many wrongdoings that the bearded man had done in the past few years, but she also recounted the fact that he liked to drink and would beat people up whenever he drank.

When the women who were chosen by the people had brought the bearded woman into the inner hall and examined her wounds, the world would finally understand why she had complained to her husband.

With such a husband, it was no wonder that this woman would exterminate her kin.

Yes, in the end, the imperial government had defined this matter as' the extermination of one's parents', and it was a signboard written by His Majesty himself.

With this plaque, the bearded lady happily disappeared from the capital along with the convicted bearded man, along with her eldest daughter, her youngest son, and the dowry that the imperial court had arranged for her.

After Dong Shu found out about this at home, the more she thought about it, the more suspicious she felt.

However, before she could even ask Xu Shiqiu, the imperial government's reward for Xu Shiqiu's competition had arrived.

The Emperor Ruikang allowed Xu Shiqiu to lead the troops and exterminate the bandits. As long as half of the spoils were given to the imperial government, Xu Shiqiu could take care of the other half himself.

And the bandit that Xu Shiqiu was going to exterminate was precisely the same bandit that had trapped Yan Ye for a long time.

Knowing that Xu Shiqiu was about to leave the capital, Dong Shu naturally suppressed her suspicions and busily prepared to leave the capital.

Although she already knew that this day would come when her husband was a martial general, Dong Shu was still extremely worried.

Just as Dong Shu was worrying, Xu Shiqiu reorganized his soldiers and brought them out of the capital at the beginning of September.
