Chapter 166: Concealment
After Xu Yanzhu said this, his whole body was weak, and it seemed that he was about to fall to the ground in an instant.
Dong Shu quickly grabbed Xu Yanzhu's arm, and after letting her lean all the strength of her body on herself, she looked at her and whispered, "Yanzhu, don't be nervous." Now you take it easy, wait until you calm down, and then talk to me. ”
Perhaps Dong Shu's comforting words had an effect, and after Xu Yanzhu leaned on Dong Shu's body for a few breaths, she slowly began to exhale, wanting to recover her body as soon as possible.
Dong Shu was not in a hurry, holding Xu Yanzhu's arm with one hand, and gently patting her back with the other hand.
After waiting for a few more breaths, Xu Yanzhu felt that his body had eased up, so he slowly withdrew the strength he had leaned on Dong Shu.
Although Xu Yanzhu had eased up, she still had some strength to lean on Dong Shu, she raised her eyes to look at Dong Shu, and then said: "Third aunt, Jiang Han came back on the fourteenth day and brought back a lot of crabs. He asked the servant woman to dismantle the crab and kept staring at his mother-in-law for her to eat. My mother-in-law wanted me to eat it too, but Jiang Han stopped me from eating it. I listened to Jiang Han's tone, and there seemed to be something wrong with the crab. ”
After saying this, Xu Yanzhu breathed a sigh of relief and told Dong Shu everything that happened on August 14.
Dong Shu listened to Xu Yanzhu's words, frowned and said, "Do you suspect that Mrs. Jiang will suddenly die of illness because of the crab she ate that night?" After saying this, Dong Shu glanced at Xu Yanzhu's pale face, sighed and said: "Yanzhu, I don't know so much, I will tell your third uncle and grandmother about these things, and let them think about what is going on." But I can understand your face now, your face like this makes people very worried at first glance. ”
When Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, her originally pale face turned even paler.
She has a ghost in her heart, and she is afraid that Jiang Han will know about her and Brother Yan.
Since Jiang Han was able to take her mother-in-law's life so ruthlessly, if she knew about her and Brother Yan, would she also be ruthless to her?
The more Xu Yanzhu thought about these things, the more she felt that she was dangerous, but now, she couldn't contact Brother Yan, and she couldn't tell the third uncle about these things.
Dong Shu didn't know what happened to Xu Yanzhu, but she remembered Xu Shiqiu's explanation before coming today.
"Now that your mother-in-law is gone, no matter what, as long as her mother's family and the Jiang family don't question it, don't talk too much. Your situation looks very bad now, and after these few days, I will talk to your third uncle and see how to find a way for you to live in Zhuangzi. Since you are afraid of Jiang Han, it is best to live separately from him for a while. But Yanzhu, no matter what solution we come up with, the most important thing is yourself. ”
More guarantees, Dong Shu didn't dare to say.
No matter what the relationship between Xu Yanzhu and Jiang Han is, Xu Yanzhu is now Jiang Hanming's wife who is marrying back, Mrs. Jiang died of illness, and Xu Yanzhu wants to keep her filial piety.
Thinking of this, Dong Shu opened her mouth and said: "Yanzhu, don't be afraid, now that Mrs. Jiang has died, you will definitely give her filial piety." Taking the opportunity of keeping filial piety, you avoid Jiang Han, and no one will say anything. ”
After all, when the mother-in-law died, the son and daughter-in-law were both in the period of filial piety, so it was understandable to avoid it.
When Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, her eyes immediately lit up.
She was originally worried that she would show her stuff when she faced Jiang Han, but now when she heard the words of the third aunt, she suddenly opened her mouth.
She can find an excuse to keep filial piety to her mother-in-law and avoid Jiang Han, even if Jiang Han doesn't really want to keep filial piety to her mother-in-law, in the Hundred Days and the like, he must have to make a show.
After waiting for a hundred days, even if Brother Yan still can't be contacted, she can 'get sick' and avoid Jiang Han.
After thinking about this, Xu Yanzhu's face immediately looked better.
Dong Shu had been paying attention to Xu Yanzhu, and after seeing the change in her expression, she was also relieved.
It's not good for the two of them to stay in this house all the time, Dong Shu thought about Xu Shiqiu in advance, and told her what Xu Yanzhu explained to her as a 'grandmother', and then went out of the house with her.
When Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu came out of the house, more people came to the Jiang family to worship.
Although the Jiang family is just a merchant, there are still some old in-laws over the years, especially the friendship left by Jiang Han's father.
Now that Mrs. Jiang has passed away, these people must have come to pay their respects.
Because Mrs. Jiang began to be sick from time to time last autumn and winter, and this year she was sick at both ends in three days, and now she died suddenly, no one doubts.
Even Mrs. Jiang's mother's family wanted to take this opportunity to have a good relationship with Jiang Han, and wanted Jiang Han to pull them out when they did business in the future.
They were only sad about Mrs. Jiang's sudden death, but they had no doubts at all.
After Dong Shu saw this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If Mrs. Jiang's death is really Jiang Han's handiwork, then he really calculated everything.
Later, when she heard that the people who came to worship Mrs. Jiang gathered around and began to talk about things in the business field, Dong Shu didn't listen anymore.
Dong Shu doesn't understand these things in the business field, although Xu Shiqiu is young, he is an elder after all, and Dong Shu has the identity of a countryman, and the two of them will not say anything when they sit on the sidelines.
When it was close to noon, Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu home, and they would come over in the next few days, especially Dong Shu.
Xu Shiqiu has no time behind, but she is now the housewife of the third room of the Xu family, and if she wants to save face for Xu Yanzhu, she must come.
After getting into the carriage home, Xu Shiqiu saw that Dong Shu looked tired, and was just about to open his mouth to comfort and comfort her, but Dong Shu suddenly said: "Xianggong, I think Yanzhu has something to hide from us." ”
Dong Shu couldn't say why she felt this way, but after being in contact with Xu Yanzhu for a while today, she thought about it carefully and felt that Xu Yanzhu's reaction was particularly wrong.
According to her friendship with Xu Yanzhu, although the two are separated by generations, they are really sisters.
Xu Yanzhu would tell her anything in her heart before, but today, she realized that Xu Yanzhu had something to hide from herself.
This feeling is particularly uncomfortable, and at the same time, Dong Shu is still wondering in her heart, what is it that can make Xu Yanzhu hide it from herself.
She even told her that she guessed that Jiang Han killed Mrs. Jiang, what else could not be said?
Dong Shu couldn't figure out this matter, so she could only choose to tell Xu Shiqiu.
After Dong Shu finished what he said between himself and Xu Yanzhu today, as well as all his observations and speculations, he quietly waited for Xu Shiqiu to open his mouth to solve his doubts.
Xu Shiqiu didn't doubt her little lady's intuition, but after listening to the little lady's words, she also said suspiciously: "Yanzhu will have something to hide from us?" After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused and continued: "Cuihua has been following her, and recently Cuihua came back, did she say anything?" ”
"No, although Cuihua has been diligent when she comes back recently, every time she comes back, she is always preparing to come back after a while."
Dong Shu is also puzzled, it stands to reason that Cuihua has been following Xu Yanzhu for more than a year, if Xu Yanzhu has something, she will definitely know, but now it seems that ......
"Lady, the two handmaidens beside Yanzhu should be the same identity as Yueyin and the others beside you."
When Xu Shiqiu was pondering in Dong Shu, he suddenly said such a sentence.
Hearing his words, Dong Shu's eyes widened in surprise.
Yueyin and they are the secret guards that the queen mother gave herself, who gave her the two maids beside Zhu?
"It seems that Yanzhu really has something to hide from us." Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu, and after saying this, she thought about it and said, "Since Yanzhu is hiding it from us, she must not want us to know about it." Moreover, she can hide even Cuihua together, it seems that this matter is very important to her. ”
Dong Shu can say such things now, which is also the result of many things experienced during this time, coupled with the intentional cultivation of Mama Yan and Mrs. Xu.
Xu Shiqiu also noticed the changes in his little lady, he was happy because the little lady had these changes, but more than that, he didn't want the little lady to have such changes.
The little lady will understand this, she must have experienced many things, and someone specially took it apart to tell her, so she will understand.
In the end, it is because of him that the little lady has changed so much.
"You're right, we have to go to Jiang's house every day for the past two days, you pay more attention to Yanzhu. When I go home, I'll tell my mother about Yanzhu and see if my mother can guess. ”
Xu Shiqiu was not sure about this matter in his heart, so he could only think that he would go back later and mention this matter to his mother, who knew Yanzhu better.
After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she immediately nodded in agreement.
Both of them had something on their minds, so they didn't continue to speak on the way, until they returned home and saw the happy Yuan Xi who stayed with Mrs. Xu to play, and the faces of the husband and wife looked better.
As soon as Mrs. Xu saw their expressions, she guessed that they had something on their minds.
After playing with Yuan Xi for a while, after Yuan Xi was hungry and wanted to eat and leave, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu sat down and informed Mrs. Xu of today's affairs at the Jiang family.
As soon as Mrs. Xu listened to Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu's story, she sighed and affirmed: "Yanzhu, this child, must have something to hide from us." ”
What kind of character is the child raised by herself, how can Mrs. Xu not understand.
Thinking that Xu Yanzhu had something to hide from herself, Mrs. Xu was not only sad in her heart, but more worried.
She knew in her heart that it must be very important to make Xu Yanzhu make up her mind to hide it from them, and it would even have a great impact on the Xu family.
