Xu Shu lived an almost isolated life in Peach Blossom Villa, comfortable and comfortable, and time seemed to go extremely fast here, day after day, so fast that Xu Shu was confused and hesitant.

Such a leisurely day is what she has been looking forward to for a long time, no quarrels, no calculations, not even things that need her to use her brain, her daily life has become extraordinarily simple, either listening to the eldest sister Xu Jing complaining about her nephew and niece being naughty in the letter, or writing a letter to Gao Zhinan and splitting the words, or receiving food sent by the fourth sister Xu Ru, who married into the Zhang family, every three or five days.

Xu Shu finished eating the last box of snacks sent by Xu Ru, and sighed with emotion while holding the empty box, "It's noon today, why hasn't the fourth sister sent someone to deliver something?" ”

"Miss, the fourth miss is here!"

Xu Shu sat up straight in surprise, "Fourth sister is here?" After listening to it, I heard Xu Ru's footsteps and said happily, "The fourth sister is still newly married, why did she come to this poor country?" ”

Xu Ru approached and said, "Today, my husband visited a classmate, and it happened to be around here, so I came over with my husband?" ”

Xu Shu didn't hear the footsteps of the others, so she asked, "What about the fourth brother-in-law?" ”

Xu Ru said, "He went to his classmates, and he will come over later!" ”

"Let the kitchen prepare more meals in the evening!" Xu Shu turned his head and ordered, "I don't know if the fourth brother-in-law is used to eating things from the countryside!" ”

Xu Rurou smiled softly, "After all, he can eat what I can eat!" ”

Xu Shu chuckled, "That's good!" ”

"New dim sum for you!" Xu Ru handed over a four-layer food box, "I used to be able to secretly watch the cook do it, but now I have the opportunity to do it myself, I just can't wait to do it every day, and it's also the ninth sister you give face, and you are willing to eat what I do!" ”

"The fourth brother-in-law must also love to eat!" Xu Shu grinned.

Xu Ru's face was slightly red, and without waiting for Xu Shu to ask, she took the initiative to explain, "The Zhang family is very good to me, whether it is my in-laws, my concubine, or my uncle and sister-in-law, they are all very good to me, so good...... It's so good...... It's like I'm their loved one! I never dared to imagine that one day there would be someone other than you, Ninth Sister, who would be kind to me! I know that they treat me like this because you saved their family, but I believe that as long as I try to fulfill my responsibilities as a wife and a daughter-in-law, they will one day treat me well because of me and treat me as a relative! ”

"Yes! Definitely! Xu Shu held Xu Ru's hand and encouraged her, "Fourth sister, you will definitely do it!" ”

Xu Ru nodded, his eyes swept to an open letter on the table, the signature on the envelope was Gao Zhinan, his eyes flashed, and he lost his mind for a moment.

Xu Shu noticed, "Fourth sister, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Ru has never hidden anything from Xu Shu, "Miss Gao...... A few days ago, when I heard my mother talking to my father, I mentioned that the queen wanted to select a group of young show girls from the family to enter the palace, and the people in the Ministry of Rites selected the right people, and Miss Gao's name seemed to be in it......"

Xu Shu's hand shook, and the snack in her hand rolled to the ground, Xu Ru patted her hand, "It's okay, with the situation of the Gao family, it is difficult for Miss Gao to be selected...... The draft is to fill the harem, but also for the offspring......"

Xu Shu shook her head, "It's really because of this that Sister Zhinan is more likely to be selected!" ”

Xu Shu has reached a consensus with the queen secretly, so the queen will no longer hope that other women can give birth to the emperor's heir, especially the prince, the new show girl in the palace is just fine, it is impossible to give birth, who else can be more reassuring than a woman who has only sisters in the family and no brothers? Maybe this woman can't give birth to a son either? And she is favored and has no maternal brother to rely on, don't worry about the power of her relatives, what a good chess piece, not to mention that the friendship between Xu Shu and Gao Zhinan is not a secret, it is impossible for the queen not to know, holding Gao Zhinan in the palm of her hand, Xu Shu has some scruples.

Xu Ru didn't understand, but seeing Xu Shu's strong worry, she didn't question what she said, and comforted softly, "It's just a waiting list, less than one-tenth of the people on the list can be selected into the palace in the end, don't worry!" ”

"As long as this list is sent to the palace, Sister Zhinan will definitely be left behind......" Xu Shu frowned, anxiously thinking about countermeasures.

Xu Ru was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The emperor is in the prime of life, maybe Miss Gao is blessed and can ......."

"Impossible!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly, how could Longzi be so good, otherwise there would be no women in the palace except for Concubine Shu.

"It's impossible for Sister Zhinan to enter the palace! I will never let Sister Shio enter the palace! Xu Shu was resolute and firm.

Xu Ru was dumbfounded and reminded, "This is not as good as being in the Xu family, it is about the royal family, Ninth Sister, don't take risks!" ”

"I'm measured!" Xu Shu comforted Xu Ru, but her frowning brows did not let go.

Xu Ru sighed, and suddenly said again, "By the way, something happened to the Xu family, do you know?" ”

"What's the matter?" Xu Shu lowered her head and didn't care.

"The seventh brother pushed Tong'er into the water and drowned!"

"What?" Xu Shu raised her head suddenly, and her whole person froze.

Xu Ru patted her stiff shoulder, "Don't worry, the seventh brother is fine!" ”

"Mother...... Saved him? Xu Shu suddenly spoke in an obscure tone.

"It's not!" Xu Ru showed mockery in his eyes, "Yuxi is dead!" ”

Xu Shu instantly understood, "Yuxi took the blame for the seventh brother?" ”

Xu Ru nodded, "After Tong'er died, the seventh brother disappeared, and the family searched for a night and didn't find it, only the next morning when the eldest uncle went to court, the seventh brother suddenly rushed to him and cried that Yuxi was going to kill him, and the eldest uncle saw that the seventh brother was fine, and he was in a hurry to go to the court, so he sent the seventh brother to the eldest aunt, and then the eldest aunt took the seventh brother and grandmother to the Chen family to confront the Chen family, and another small guy who was present at the time suddenly changed his words, and said that Yuxi pushed Tong'er, afraid that the matter would be exposed, and pushed the seventh brother into the water, and the seventh brother ran away, Grandmother asked someone to find Yuxi to ......"

Speaking of this, Xu Ruxiao was helpless and desolate, "You know, how can you find someone at this time!" The people sent by my grandmother saw Yuxi hanging herself in her house, and there was no proof of her death, and that was it! As for Tong'er's death, the eldest aunt said that she had no way to take care of the housekeeper, and she paid the Chen family two hundred taels of silver, and rewarded Tong'er and his father with two maid rings, and there was a grandmother on the side to help speak, and the Chen family and the whole family will have to rely on the Xu family to live in the future, and they dare not pursue it again, only a coffin will bury Tong'er and happily take the two hundred taels of silver and lead the two beautiful maid rings home to give birth to a son! ”

"Where did the seventh brother go on the night he didn't see him?" Xu Shu grasped the key.

Xu Ru shook his head, "I don't know, the seventh brother himself said that he was hiding in the firewood room, but the family didn't find it!" ”
