Dong Shu did not understand all of this, but when she saw the smile on Old Madame Xu's face, she thought that what she just said was not wrong, it was just that brother-in-law had not ascended the throne yet, all of them understood what was going on, they could not say it out loud.

After she thought about it again in her heart, Dong Shu finally said to Old Madame Xu as she looked at him, "Mother, since Yanhao is going to get married soon, it should probably be a few days, right?"

"Mm, although your eldest sister-in-law has some schemes in mind, but she can't do anything wrong in these matters." You don't have to worry about this matter. After she and Zhang Family discuss the good day, she will definitely be the first to inform me. "

Old Madame Xu had this bit of confidence, but a daughter-in-law definitely would not do anything wrong in these matters.

With the Old Madame Xu's words, Dong Shu nodded her head seriously.

Although she knew that he wouldn't be able to return for a while after finding out that everything was fine, Dong Shu still heaved a sigh of relief in her heart.

Although she still could not see Hubby now, it was better than before. At least she knew that hubby was doing well and knew when he would return.

Finally, things were no longer like they had been before, without any clues as to how to proceed.

The day before, Xu Yanhao had just returned to the capital. On the morning of the second day, the Madame Ye and Zhang Family had already discussed with each other about the date of Xu Yanhao's and Zhang Family second wife's daughter's engagement.

"The 22nd of the Moon is a good day, I've booked a time for our family to prepare for the new year." Madame Ye had personally come to tell Old Madame Xu about this matter, and after she had said all that, she saw that Old Madame Xu did not make a sound, and then continued: "We have already prepared the marriage set by Yanhao, and our Zhang Family can also understand Yanhao's situation, so no, if I mentioned this, they would agree."

Hearing Madame Ye's words, the Old Madame Xu nodded at her, "I know you won't make any mistakes in this matter." Old Madame Xu first praised Madame Ye, then said: "Yanhao is the only child in our third generation who will walk the path of a martial general in the future. After he's married, you should focus more on Yanbo. "

When Old Madame Xu said this, her originally happy expression immediately froze.

The Old Madame Xu had been paying attention to Madame Ye's expression the entire time. Upon seeing her expression, sshe then sighed: "Yanbo was born from you, your concubine, and he was raised by you. Since he was unwilling to join the army even though he has no interest in examinations, he must have his own career as a man of Xu Family. Even if he were to do business with Yanlang, he cannot become trash who relies on his family's support! " After saying that, the Old Madame Xu paused for a while before continuing, "His circumstances are different from his Third Uncle's. At that time, she could not get close to others, but Yanbo was still fine, and had similarly studied and trained in martial arts. As long as he wants to, he can always find something to do. "

Madame Ye could tell that her mother-in-law was not happy with him anymore regarding Yanbo.

The Madame Ye understood that Yanbo was only a bastard in her eyes, but in her mother-in-law's eyes, Yanbo was the same as Yan Su and Yanhao, they were both her grandchildren.

Especially when she heard that Grandma was using her sister-in-law as an example, Madame Ye became even more flustered.

In recent years, she seemed to have really neglected Yanbo too much.

Old Lady Xu saw the change in Madam Ye's expression when she heard her words. She looked at Madam Ye and gave a cold snort before speaking again, her tone softening, "Yanbo is a bastard son. Even if we were to split his family in the future, he would only be able to share his share." You also have a daughter, so naturally, your private property also needs to be subsidized for Yan Mo's dowry. I believe that everyone is clear about this matter.

After hearing her mother-in-law's words, the Madame Ye finally recovered her senses. She first nodded towards the Old Madame Xu, then said: "What Grandma teaches you is, after Yanhao's marriage ceremony next year is over, I will look for a suitable marriage for Yanbo." After saying that, the Madame Ye paused for a while before continuing, "If Grandma has a suitable lady by her side, please inform me."

Seeing that her mother-in-law did not ask her to supplement Yanbo, the concubine, Madame Ye was completely at ease.

What belongs to their family business, should be given to Yanbo, she would not miss him.

Although she was raised under him, in the end, she was not born. He still had two sons and a daughter.

Old Madame Xu did not say anything after seeing Madame Ye listen to her words. Previously, she had heard that her youngest son had the heart to give this piece of Xu Family information to Yanbo, so she was not worried that Xu Yanbo would starve to death in the future.

But no matter what, on the surface, Xu Yanbo still needed an identity that he could see.

Even if he was in charge of a shop, he couldn't stay at home and be like this all the time, a young master who had nothing to do but wait for his meal.

Madame Ye joyfully came over to report the news, but in the end, she was scolded by Old Madame Xu because of Xu Yanbo.

After returning home, she wanted to find Xu Yanbo and feel bad, but she also understood that she had indeed neglected Yanbo for the sake of clarifying her relationship with him these past two years.

Furthermore, Yanbo wasn't like his daughter, Yanmo, who loved to cause trouble and act like a spoiled child to him, so he was destined to be ignored in this house.

This was indeed something he had done badly. Otherwise, his mother-in-law would not have reminded him of this.

The most important point that his mother-in-law did not say wrongly was that Yanbo was not an ordinary bastard child, she was the one that married Teng Qinghu, and she was the one who raised him.

He was on good terms with the children that he had given birth to, and he did not have any ambitions. It was true that he could not treat him unfairly.

Compared to Madame Jiang, the reason Old Madame Xu liked Madame Ye more was because although Madame Ye looked down on such a family without any background like Xu Family because she was Prince Duan's eldest daughter, she had always been a smart person. She knew her own identity and knew that choosing one was most advantageous to her.

Although Old Madame Xu didn't know about the change in mood in the courtyard house with the Xu Family, she understood the character of this eldest wife. She didn't think about what she had said before.

Dong Shu was also a little at a loss as to what to do. Previously, when her mother-in-law was lecturing her, she had an important matter to discuss with her mother-in-law, so she heard it clearly outside the door.

If it was anyone else, perhaps they would have just pretended not to hear it, and the matter would have passed.

But Dong Shu's character was too straightforward, even if she heard it, she wouldn't be able to pretend that she did not hear it.

However, she had become smarter, and before Madame Ye left, she did not reveal any of the things she heard.

Old Madame Xu looked up and saw the expression on Dong Shu's face. She felt it was funny, and she couldn't help but to smile.

"I only scolded your eldest sister-in-law a few times. Why are you behaving like this?"

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu looked at her with embarrassment and called her "Mother".

Hearing Dong Shu's coquettish voice of 'Mother', Old Madame Xu shook her head in a very good mood. She then looked at her and said, "Don't think too much about it, your sister-in-law is a smart person, but smart people often do not see through her mistakes. Fortunately, she is someone who can be persuaded by others. Since I am still around, I naturally have to remind her of her wrongdoings. " After seeing Dong Shu finish speaking, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing: "In the future, if I'm not here anymore, you just need to take her as your sister-in-law. She won't interfere with you, and she probably won't sincerely help you if anything happens to you."

Dong Shu never thought that her mother-in-law would say these words at this time. Although she didn't know why she would say them at this time, she still listened attentively and kept nodding her head.

Looking at Dong Shu's young face, Old Madame Xu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If their Xu Family could not safely pass through this matter at the end of the year, they did not know that with her body, she could still live a few more years after going up and down.

If she really couldn't hold on and left early, with his third son's wife's personality, he didn't know if she would be able to support his family when he wasn't home in the autumn.

Dong Shu did not know of Old Madame Xu's worries, because Yanhao, the concubine, had set a date for their marriage, so she could begin to prepare to go to the main house to congratulate him.

After confirming the date of the engagement, the Xu Family Room released the matter of their family's marriage to Hu Family, and then to Zhang Family.

This caused many middle-class families in the capital to be filled with envy. Especially since Xu Yanhao had followed Xu Shiqiu in the army camp, and had gotten his own official position, he had become an official before his big brother, who was waiting for the imperial examinations.

Thinking about how Xu Yanhao had the bloodline of the Madame Ye, how could these people not guess Xu Yanhao's future.

Only, he didn't expect that such a good son-in-law would be snatched away by Zhang Family.

There were many people who were envious of him, but none of them dared to really do anything.

Dong Shu had accompanied Old Madame Xu to the main hall early in the morning of the twenty-second of the third month. It was just that she did not expect that other than Fifth Prince, the son-in-law of Xu Family, would also come.
