Dong Shu could only roll her eyes at him helplessly after perceiving Xu Shiqiu's fiery gaze that fell on her, and then immediately hugged Yuan Xi in her arms, looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: "It's not early, we should go to the main courtyard to say hello to my mother, don't you have something to do later?" ”

As soon as Dong Shu's words came out, Xu Shiqiu understood what she meant, and seeing that she wanted to run away at any time, Xu Shiqiu hooked her lips and whispered: "Don't be afraid, lady, in this daytime, a husband won't do anything." ”

If Dong Shu hadn't understood what Xu Shiqiu meant before, but after nearly two years of marrying him, how could she not understand what he meant.

He doesn't do anything during the day, but he must do it at night.

Fortunately, there is only one Yuan Xi who can't understand what they are talking about, except for the two of them, otherwise Dong Shu must be ashamed and don't know what to do.

Xu Shiqiu also knew that although the little lady had been married to him for almost two years, her skin was still very thin, so he immediately looked at Dong Shu and said, "You hold Yuan Xi here and wait for me for a while, I'll go get something and go to the main courtyard with you." ”

"Well, you go." Dong Shu didn't ask Xu Shiqiu what he was going to pick up, yesterday his soldiers sent more than a dozen large boxes, she just opened the two boxes and glanced at them, what was inside, but she didn't have time to take a closer look.

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu only thought that he had something to give to his mother-in-law.

Xu Shiqiu did have something to give to his mother, but it was not Dong Shu who thought that the loot he captured in Northern Xinjiang this time was a short sword that looked extraordinarily ordinary on the outside.

At the moment of seeing this short sword, the old lady Xu, who was originally sitting firmly on the main seat, got up from the chair with a rub on the ground, and then ignored the support of the servant woman beside her, strode directly in front of Xu Shiqiu, stared at the short sword and said, "Shiqiu, this is from the northern Xinjiang?" ”

As soon as Xu Shiqiu heard Mrs. Xu's words, he nodded hurriedly and said, "It was my son who found it from an arms shop in northern Xinjiang. As he spoke, Xu Shiqiu also put the very ordinary-looking short sword into Mrs. Xu's trembling hand.

After getting the short sword, a crystal tear fell from the corner of Mrs. Xu's eye, which was the first time Dong Shu saw her mother-in-law crying.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu a little helplessly, but saw that Xu Shiqiu seemed to sense her gaze, and immediately shook her head at her.

Receiving Xu Shiqiu's hint, Dong Shu could only close her mouth and look at her mother-in-law who was crying with a puzzled expression.

Fortunately, Mrs. Xu did not keep immersed in her thoughts, and soon, she collected her thoughts, wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: "You can find this short sword back, and I won't feel guilty when I go to see your father in the future." ”

After saying this, Mrs. Xu beckoned to the servant woman on the side, and then returned to her original seat and sat down with her support.

After Mrs. Xu sat down, she looked at the three members of Xu Shiqiu's family and said: "You were all tired yesterday, you all have a good rest today, tomorrow is the day your sister will come back according to the rules, and I don't know if they can come back this time, but what our family should prepare is still ready." ”

"Yes, I'll tell you about it later."

Dong Shu immediately answered the moment Mrs. Xu's voice fell, and just when she wanted to ask Mrs. Xu if she had anything else to explain, she heard the mother-in-law at the top say: "I was also a little tired yesterday, you can go back to rest now, and come to eat with me in the evening." ”

Dong Shu didn't expect her mother-in-law to open her mouth so quickly, but before she could speak, Xu Shiqiu on the side had already said respectfully: "Yes, then we'll come back in the evening." ”

The answer to Xu Shiqiu was only a slight bow from Mrs. Xu.

Dong Shu was taken out of the main courtyard by Xu Shiqiu with a puzzled expression, wanting to ask what was going on with the short sword, but he was worried that it was a taboo.

"For the husband, take Yuan Xi to find Yan Ye, you go and arrange the things that your mother just explained, and when you return to Shihuan Courtyard, your husband will tell you these things."

Xu Shiqiu seemed to be able to guess Dong Shu's thoughts, and spoke directly when she was still hesitating.

With Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu's original random guess instantly quieted down.

"Well, that Xianggong should pay attention to Yuan Xi, if she frowns or moves, I'm afraid that she will either be hungry or will urinate." After Dong Shu explained uneasily, she watched Xu Shiqiu walk towards Xu Yanzhu's original yard in the backyard with Yuan Xi, who was unwilling to leave him.

And she, as the current housewife of the family, naturally has to worry about her sister's return tomorrow.

Although the servants of the Xu family also experienced a turmoil yesterday, they recovered well, and after Dong Shu inspected the front and found that everything was arranged very well, he nodded with satisfaction and prepared to go back.

And just when she was about to return to Shihuan Hospital, Dong Lei suddenly took the initiative to find her.

"Brother Lei, it's just so time that you're here. Xianggong said yesterday that he has been a little busy in the past two days, and I guess he will talk to you the day after tomorrow. Dong Shu roughly calculated in his heart, today Xu Shiqiu is going to find Yan Ye, tomorrow is the second day of the Lunar New Year, and my sister is afraid that she will come back, so I am afraid that he will have a free day in the near future, which is the day after tomorrow.

After Dong Lei heard Dong Shu's words, he first smiled and nodded, and then looked at her and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I will definitely wait for Yuan Xi to catch the Zhou banquet before going back." After saying this, Dong Lei glanced around Dong Shu, and then pulled her sleeve, took her aside and asked in a whisper: "Shu'er, is your brother-in-law really going to sit in that position?" As he spoke, Dong Lei also stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky.

"Well, the beginning of February." Dong Shu was also influenced by Dong Lei and lowered the volume a little.

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Dong Lei nodded, then looked at Dong Shu and said, "Since this is the case, then the Xu family will be protected by someone after I come." After saying this, Dong Lei frowned and thought about it, but still looked at Dong Shu and said, "Shu'er, you also know that I have been outside almost every day recently. A few days ago, when I was drinking tea in a teahouse, I heard a rumor that the first prince still had blood left in the world. ”

Dong Lei only felt that this news was not good for his cousin's brother-in-law who was about to ascend the throne, so he said it directly.

But he didn't know that as soon as he said this, Dong Shu's heart jumped.

Dong Shu knew in her heart that her cousin didn't know Yan Ye's identity, but he didn't know, but she knew.

Yan Ye is the eldest son of the first prince, and he is still alive, so the first prince does have blood left in the world.

But why are there rumors about this matter?

Dong Shu didn't know how to ask for a while, she just wanted to go to Xu Shiqiu and quickly tell him about it.

Dong Lei didn't expect his words to make Dong Shu so nervous, he saw Dong Shu frowning and silent, and only thought that she hadn't heard of it.

"This news has been spreading in those low-level teahouses, and it is estimated that it will take some time to reach your ears." This is also the experience that Dong Lei has gained in the past year, sometimes a lot of news is often the first to spread from those inconspicuous small restaurants.

Hearing Dong Lei's words, Dong Shu nodded at him before he spoke: "I will tell Xianggong about this matter, what is going on, let him send someone to investigate." Dong Shu didn't talk too carefully to Dong Lei, so even though she was very anxious, she still stabilized and said a few words to Dong Lei before going to Xu Yanzhu's yard to find Xu Shiqiu with him.

In the courtyard before Xu Yanzhu, Yan Ye was actually talking to Xu Shiqiu about this matter.

"This news was found by the most ordinary person under my command, he actually didn't know my identity, he just felt that something was wrong, so he reported it."

When Yan Ye said this, his brows under the mask were also tightly frowned.

The person at the bottom didn't know his identity, but the people in charge above knew his identity.

So as soon as they heard the news, they immediately reported it to him.

Xu Shiqiu was also a little shocked after hearing Yan Ye say this, he really didn't expect that in the past few days, the most ordinary and inconspicuous place in the capital would have such a rumor.

The most important thing is that this rumor is a rumor, but they know that it is true.

"Did you send someone to investigate?"

Xu Shiqiu looked at Yan Ye, and as soon as he finished saying this, Yan Ye shook his head and said, "I didn't let my people investigate easily, I'm afraid this is a trap." So I want to ask the third uncle to send someone to find out what is going on in this matter. ”

Xu Shiqiu was very satisfied that Yan Ye could calm down at this time, his identity was special after all, if he really sent someone to investigate, maybe someone would find out something.

On the other hand, if their Xu family sent someone to investigate, even if that person noticed it, they would only think that they were afraid that the first prince really had blood in the world.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, I'll send someone to investigate later." After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused and continued: "When are you going to go back?" ”

Xu Shiqiu asked this because he estimated Xu Yanzhu's birth date in his heart.

Although Yanzhu will not give birth for a few months, she was very tossed when she was pregnant with the child at the beginning, and Dr. Du had already said that she should be born prematurely.

So Xu Shiqiu still hopes that Yan Ye can go back to accompany Xu Yanzhu earlier.

Yan Ye also understood this, so after hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, he immediately replied: "After my uncle ascends the throne, I will go back when I see my grandmother." ”

After listening to Yan Ye's words, Xu Shiqiu estimated the next day in his heart, so he didn't say anything, just nodded at him.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu wanted to talk to Yan Ye again, but Yuan Xi, who was staying in his arms, moved restlessly at this time.

Sensing Yuan Xi's movements, Xu Shiqiu immediately thought of Dong Shu's words, hugged Yuan Xi in his arms, got up helplessly and said: "My family Yuan Xi is not happy to stay with you anymore, I will take her back to find her mother first, and then come to talk to you in the afternoon." ”

Yan Ye heard the meaning of showing off in Xu Shiqiu's words, thinking that he would be able to hold himself and Yanzhu in a few months, so he ignored the show off of the third uncle in front of him.

Xu Shiqiu didn't mind hearing Yan Ye speak, and after leaving the courtyard with the courtyard moving back and forth, he strode towards Shihuan Courtyard.

As soon as he walked halfway, he happened to meet Dong Shu, who came to look for him.

Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu and was just about to speak, but who knew that several secret guards who had been hiding in the shadows appeared in front of Dong Shu at the same time.

Seeing Yue Rong and Yue Yin appear at the same time, Dong Shu was stunned, and at the moment when she was stunned, Yue Rong had already spoken: "Madam, Niang Niang wants to see you immediately." ”

As soon as she heard Yuerong's words, Dong Shu immediately thought of what her cousin said to herself just now.

And Xu Shiqiu obviously thought of this.

Queen Mother, didn't you also hear the news?
