Xu Nuanwen had known Ye Jingxing for almost twenty years, and she had even married him for more than ten years, so how could she not know his personality?

Seeing his expression, he could guess what had happened.

Xu Nuanwen knew this in her heart, but she did not point it out to him. It was because she knew that although Ye Jingxing treated him well, he was a man after all.

Then, Xu Nuanwen thought about Xu Yanzhu again. She understood that the reason she was able to support Xu Yanzhu was all because of her status as the Fifth Prince's concubine.

The most important thing was Ye Jingxing's kindness to her, Fifth Prince Palace did not have any other women.

After thinking about it, Xu Nuanwen sighed to herself and said: "I've thought about it carefully, we have known each other for almost twenty years." Saying this, Xu Nuanwen continued without waiting for Ye Jingxing to speak, "For the past twenty years, other than the matter that displeased me, the rest of the time was very good. I believe that I will be happy for the next twenty or forty years. "

When Xu Nuanwen said this, Ye Jingxing was immediately moved.

He understood that Xu Nuanwen was only happy because she had him.

He had liked Xu Nuanwen from the first moment he saw Xu Nuanwen. After he married her with great difficulty, he also carefully pampered her.

But he himself had to admit that when something happened to his Xu Family back then, he did not go all out to rescue them.

Now that he heard Xu Nuanwen's words, Ye Jingxing immediately looked at her and guaranteed, "Lady, don't worry. In the future, your husband will treat you like this no matter what."

Hearing Ye Jingxing's words, Xu Nuanwen naturally smiled in satisfaction.

Due to what Xu Nuanwen said, in the next few days, Ye Jingxing continued to buy things for Xu Nuanwen.

Although most of them were small toys on the streets, everyone in the capital knew that Fifth Prince had bought a lot of gifts for Fifth Prince's Concubine when they first met his.

Because he couldn't buy the same thing he had before, Fifth Prince would even carefully describe it and order some people to customize it.

The reason why the Fifth Prince is like this, is because I want to let the Fifth Prince Concubine relive the way the two of them felt when they first met.

Let's not talk about this later.

After Dong Shu went into the palace and probed the Empress Hu, the entire Xu Family family quietly waited for Xu Shiqiu to return to the capital.

Not even three days had passed, but Xu Family had received the news that Xu Shiqiu would enter the capital tomorrow.

Actually, Xu Shiqiu had already rushed back to the capital city today. He was currently outside the capital city, but when the army returned to the capital, he had to send a message to His Majesty first.

Xu Family also received the news, knowing that Xu Shiqiu was currently in the outskirts of the capital, both he and Dong Shu were extremely excited.

Dong Shu looked at Old Madame Xu and thought for a long time before daring to speak: "Mother, tomorrow, I want to bring Yuanxi out to welcome my husband."

When Dong Shu said this, the Old Madame Xu immediately laughed.

Back then, Xu Zhenbei had often led his troops out. Initially, she had also missed him. Every time he returned to the capital, she would always sneak out to take a look.

Now that she saw Dong Shu missing her son so much, she naturally did not stop him.

"Yuanxi is still young, you can go by yourself tomorrow. Leave Yuanxi at home to accompany me." Seeing Dong Shu lower her head in embarrassment, Old Madame Xu immediately continued: "Back then, I was just like you, so you don't have to be embarrassed."

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, Dong Shu understood her meaning.

When her father-in-law had returned, her mother-in-law had probably been in a hurry to welcome him.

After she understood all of this, Dong Shu bowed to the Old Madame Xu and said, "Then Yuanxi will be troubling Mother to take care of him for a while. I'll take a look at the path that my husband must take when he enters the city, then return home to wait."

Dong Shu was no longer a woman who knew nothing at all. She knew that when Xu Shiqiu returned to the capital tomorrow, he would have to first enter the palace before he could return home.

According to how long Xu Shiqiu had been in the palace, he would probably only be able to return home at noon. If he met a Emperor Ruikang in a good mood and wanted to give him a feast, he would probably not be able to return until the afternoon.

This was the reason why she was so eager to take a look outside before returning home to wait.

Old Madame Xu did not have any objections towards Dong Shu thinking so much about her son, and was even extremely happy in her heart.

Only when her son and daughter-in-law were close could she wait for their grandson.

If this year was not good, Yuanxi was still young. After the second half of next year, Dong Shu could once again prepare to become pregnant and give birth.

Thinking about the lively scene of her youngest son going down, Old Madame Xu nodded to Dong Shu, "Don't worry and go out tomorrow. In a while, I'll send someone to the Top Scorer Tower to find a room."

The Top Scorer Tower was one of the businesses in the Jiang Family. Old Madame Xu had personally sent people to the reserved rooms, so the shopkeeper would definitely arrange everything properly.

Dong Shu had no objections to the Old Madame Xu's arrangements. Right now, she could only think about how she would be able to see her husband tomorrow morning.

The Old Madame Xu had personally arranged this matter, and it had naturally gone smoothly.

Jiang Han had also received the news that Xu Shiqiu was going to enter the capital tomorrow.

After instructing him to be careful, Jiang Han frowned at the letter that Third Prince had sent over.

The letter sent by the Third Prince was clearly asking for his opinion and caring about him, but he wanted to ask for his meaning.

This was already the second time Third Prince had spoken, but the last time he opened his mouth, he had fooled him. This time Jiang Han understood, it would be impossible to fool him.

Fortunately Xu Shiqiu was coming to the capital tomorrow, so due to this matter, the Third Prince would definitely be attracted for a few days, and these few days, would be his last chance.

Xu Shiqiu did not know that the Young Girl in the capital actually took the initiative to look for him outside, and did not know that Jiang Han treated him as a piece of meat that was able to attract his attention.

The current Xu Shiqiu looked at the two people in front of him. His heart burned with fury, but he could not say a single word of blame.

Yan Ye looked at Xu Shiqiu, who was in charge, with an ugly expression on his face. He hurriedly lowered his head and bowed to Xu Shiqiu: "This is my mistake.

Xu Shiqiu stepped aside to avoid the bow when he saw the old man accompanying Yan Ye. He had guessed Yan Ye's identity the moment he saw the old man earlier.

Yan Ye, Ye Yan, if he had thought about it more, he might not have lured the wolf into this room and harmed Yanzhu.

Hearing Yan Ye's words, Xu Shiqiu closed his eyes for a long time, then opened them and looked at him and said: "Do you know, if this matter were to be known by that person, all of our many years of restraint in Xu Family would have been in vain?"

When Xu Shiqiu's words came out, the old man who accompanied Yan Ye and had not spoken a word until now sighed: "Shiqiu, regarding this matter, I hope that you will spare him for my sake."

After Xu Shiqiu heard the old man's words, he immediately bowed to him, "Master Sun, why are you getting involved?" After saying that, Xu Shiqiu helplessly shook his head: "Since you have personally stepped in, my Xu Family will naturally give you face."

The old man who was addressed as "Master Sun" by Xu Shiqiu immediately laughed and stroked his beard when he heard Xu Shiqiu's words: "If that's the case, then this old man owes your family a favor. I heard that you only have one daughter now, so you should hurry up and give birth to a son. "Wait until your eldest son comes to his senses, then send him to my house."

Hearing the old man's words, Xu Shiqiu's eyes lit up.

After a short moment of pleasant surprise, Xu Shiqiu regained his senses, smiled at the old man, and said: "Didn't Master Sun plan to take in two disciples this time around?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, the old man directly nodded his head and said, "You are much smarter than your father. Not bad, this old man is preparing to accept two disciples this time. " Saying this, the old man continued to mock him, "However, this will require your hard work. After all, this old man has already passed his prime, you can't say for sure how long he will live."

Although Xu Shiqiu had only seen the old man once when he was young and was given a handwritten letter, he still knew the old man's personality.

When the old man's most prized disciple, the Crown Prince, met with an accident, he had brought his direct descendant back to his hometown and stayed there for more than ten years.

During these ten years, the old man had taught many students. In every examination, there were at least ten people who had been taught by the old man.

Not to mention those who did not have enough aptitude, they had only managed to reach the Elementary Scholar and High Scholar stage before they had to give up.

Most importantly, the Sun family had been studying since the start of the dynasty. More than half of the officials present in the court were related to the Sun family.

If it wasn't for the Sun family already having a family rule, the Sun family wouldn't have been allowed to become an official, and the Sun family didn't like concubines.

One had to know that when the crown prince wanted to acknowledge the elder as his master, he had also gone through the same ordeal as the other ordinary students.

But now, for the sake of the crown prince's bloodline, the old man was willing to give up two spots as direct disciples.

To Xu Shiqiu, this was too much of a temptation. He believed that Jiang Han would definitely be overjoyed to learn that his son would be able to become Master Sun's disciple in the future.

Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu looked to Yan Ye, who was standing beside Sun Master, "Yan …" Just as Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he immediately paused, and continued, "Should I continue to call you Yan Ye, or should I call you Ye Yan?"

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Yan Ye immediately answered: "Third Uncle Xu can just call me Yan Ye, as for the identity of Ye Yan, I temporarily do not want to mention."

Yan Ye nodded immediately after he finished speaking: "Yan Ye, since Master Sun has come out, I will not pursue this matter. Since you decided to let Yanzhu leave the Jiang Family, then what should we do in the future. Have you thought about it? "

"Of course I have." Seemingly at the same time Xu Shiqiu's words fell, Yan Ye opened his mouth, "Right now, my identity still cannot be revealed, and the capital is still not completely safe, I want Grandpa Sun to come home and take Yanzhu away." After saying that, Yan Ye paused for a moment. Seeing that Xu Shiqiu did not voice any objections, he then continued: "I had originally been ashamed toward Yanzhu, so I naturally wanted to marry her in the proper manner and enter the house. However, Third Uncle Xu is clear about the current situation, so I can only marry Yanzhu in the Sun family. "

Seeing that Yan Ye had the intention to wed his openly, Xu Shiqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Now that he was pregnant with his own child, if Yan Ye was not willing to marry her into his family, Xu Shiqiu would rather raise his niece and the child in her womb.

"Since that's the case, then when I enter the palace tomorrow, I will quietly go to Jiang Family at night to see Jiang Han." Xu Shiqiu looked at Yan Ye, and after he finished speaking, he paused for a moment before continuing, "Your Third Aunt frequently visits the palace, do you need her to send a message to your grandmother?"

Xu Shiqiu only said these words because he knew that Empress Hu was not an rash person. Although she would be extremely excited when he found out that his grandson was still alive, she would definitely be able to hold back and not tell anyone about it.

However, Yan Ye shook his head after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words: "It's better if we don't tell Grandmother about this temporarily. If Grandmother knew that I'm still alive, she probably wouldn't continue to support Fifth Uncle."

Upon hearing Yan Ye's words, Xu Shiqiu immediately knew that he had no intentions to take the throne.

Since Yan Ye was not interested in a high position, then his niece, who was about to be separated from him, would not be despised by the empress.

But...

Xu Shiqiu raised his eyes and sized up Yan Ye's face, then said: "Actually, even if Empress saw your current state, she would only feel sorry for you, and would probably never let you touch that position again."

As soon as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he clearly saw Yan Ye's pupils contract. Xu Shiqiu could tell that he, Yan Ye, was moved.

But to Xu Shiqiu's surprise, Yan Ye still rejected him in the end.

"If there is a chance, I will secretly meet with Grandmother. However, for the time being, it's best to not let Grandmother know that I'm still alive." After saying that, Yan Ye looked at Xu Shiqiu, and continued to speak: "Once matters in the capital are settled, I will personally pay my respects to Grandmother, and be happy."
