Lucky Star Little Maid - C172
In the end, Dong Shu had already been married into the Xu Family for more than a year, and had interacted quite a bit with Xu Yanzhu and the Old Madame Xu.
She hurriedly took two steps forward, wanting to help Xu Yanzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
“Yanzhu, you can’t just kneel like this. The child in your womb is not even three months old yet. After saying that, Dong Shu saw that Xu Yanzhu had moved her mouth as though she wanted to say something, but she did not, and had no choice but to continue, “We are family, what is there to talk about, kneeling down like this is clearly our fault.”
The voice behind them was very soft, but Xu Yanzhu and Old Madame Xu could hear it clearly.
At the same time Xu Yanzhu slowly got up using Dong Shu’s arm, she also thought to herself that her actions just now really had the intention of blackmailing her grandmother.
Thinking about this, Xu Yanzhu immediately broke out in a cold sweat. She really didn’t do it on purpose.
Because of what Dong Shu had said, Old Madame Xu’s face looked better than before. After seeing Dong Shu help him up, she then looked at Xu Yanzhu and asked: “Yanzhu, is that person really that important?”
Xu Yanzhu and Dong Shu did not expect Old Madame Xu to ask such a question in the first sentence. Xu Yanzhu was obviously stunned for a moment before she nodded: “Grandmother, in Yanzhu’s heart, he is indeed very important.” After saying this, Xu Yanzhu did not wait for Old Madame Xu to speak, and continued: “But this matter, it is true that Yanzhu is not strict enough.”
Hearing Xu Yanzhu admitting that she was not strict enough, Old Madame Xu immediately understood what she meant.
If Xu Yanzhu was more strict, she would definitely be able to hide the truth from Jiang Han, and not let him know that she was pregnant.
As long as he could hide this fact from Jiang Han, and use the power of his Xu Family as well as the name of his aunt, Fifth Prince Concubine, for a while, he might be able to smoothly leave the Jiang Family.
At the very least, he wouldn’t let his Xu Family be in a passive state.
After understanding all of this, the Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Yanzhu and sighed: “Since what has happened is already happening, then don’t think about such things. “Now the most important thing is to inform that man to come to the capital and settle this matter.” After saying this, the Old Madame Xu told Xu Yanzhu about him conversing with Jiang Han just now, and he gave up for another half a month’s time.
Hearing Old Madame Xu’s words, how could Xu Yanzhu not understand. This grandmother must have promised something, if not, how could Jiang Han give up for half a month.
The most likely scenario would be to inform the Third Uncle and ask him to return to the capital.
After Xu Yanzhu thought about this, she did not know how she should start talking.
Dong Shu looked at Old Madame Xu and then looked at Xu Yanzhu, and then spoke to Xu Yanzhu: “The reason why I did not bring Cui Hua here today is because I allowed her to learn how to serve someone who is pregnant from an experienced servant woman at home. After she learns it in two days, I’ll let her come back and continue to serve you. ”
After Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu’s words, she hurriedly shook her head and said, “Third Aunt, we had already agreed that as long as I have someone suitable to accompany me, I will allow Cui Hua to return to the Xu Family. Now that I already have flowery language and flowery words by my side, I can just directly ask Cui Hua to go back this time. ” After she finished speaking, she paused for a moment before continuing, “I’ve prepared quite a few things for Cui Hua previously, and I didn’t bring her along when she left in a hurry yesterday. Why don’t you bring Third Aunt back later?”
Dong Shu naturally understood what Xu Yanzhu meant, she raised her eyes and looked at the flowery words beside Xu Yanzhu, thinking back to what her husband had said before, she immediately shook her head and said: “No need, it won’t be long before Cui Hua comes back to teach the two of them how to treat someone who is pregnant.”
Dong Shu’s reason was strong, now that she was pregnant, her body was naturally different from before.
Dong Shu was an experienced person, so she naturally knew that pregnancy wasn’t easy, and there would even be symptoms such as a backache or sore leg.
This was also why she insisted on letting Cui Hua learn from the experienced servant women for a few days at the Xu Family. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t be at ease if it was just Cui Hua leading the two similarly inexperienced girls to take care of Xu Yanzhu.
Furthermore, the ‘not too long’ she mentioned just now clearly stated that would not be able to stay in the Jiang Family for too long.
At the very least, before Xu Yanzhu’s stomach bulges, she would have to completely settle this matter.
Xu Yanzhu could feel that Dong Shu was truly concerned about her. She understood that even if something like this were to happen, in the heart of the Third Aunt, she would only be an ordinary Xu Family First Miss back then.
Thinking to this point, Xu Yanzhu looked at Dong Shu with reddened eyes: “Third Aunt, I have almost destroyed the reputation of my Xu Family daughter.” Xu Yanzhu was worried that Dong Shu didn’t understand all of this, so she told him directly.
But when Dong Shu heard her words, she immediately nodded and said, “I understand all of this.” Even if Dong Shu didn’t understand, the Old Madame Xu would have thought of it.
Until now, Xu Shiqiu and his daughter were the only ones who were under Xu Shiqiu’s command, so Old Madame Xu would definitely give some pointers to Dong Shu.
Seeing that Dong Shu was still thinking about her after she understood this, Xu Yanzhu felt even more embarrassed.
Dong Shu didn’t think too much into it. She had a good relationship with Xu Yanzhu, so she would naturally consider it for her sake.
Due to Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu’s conversation, the Old Madame Xu also slowly recovered.
She also understood that now that things had come to this point, blaming anyone else was no big deal. What she needed to think about the most now was how to resolve this issue.
But now that Xu Shiqiu was not at home, the man behind Xu Yanzhu was also not here. Just the few of them, a few women and children, could not make any promises to Jiang Han.
Furthermore, even if they really promised something, Jiang Han would not be willing to believe it.
The three of them understood this point, so even Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu only cared about Xu Yanzhu’s body in the end and urged her to send the message quickly.
After saying that, Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu asked to go home.
Although Xu Yanzhu couldn’t bear to part with her grandmother and Third Aunt, she also understood that she couldn’t force them to stay.
The reason why they came to visit her today was because she wasn’t feeling well due to being sick, and it was also precisely to make up for the reason why Cui Hua left the place in such a hurry yesterday.
Even though she was a doctor, she was still a junior, so it was not good for her to let her elders stay in the Jiang Family to take care of her.
Furthermore, the Jiang Family was still in its filial period.
With Xu Yanzhu’s current state, both Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu were worried about her going out to send them off. Naturally, they wanted her to stay in the courtyard and not go out.
Since Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu had used the reason of Xu Yanzhu coming to visit them when she was sick, naturally, they had brought quite a few medicinal herbs with them.
The medicinal herbs prepared by the two of them could only be used by someone who was pregnant. Before they left, the two of them specifically warned Xu Yanzhu about matters that she should take note of during pregnancy.
Xu Yanzhu insisted on escorting her grandmother and Third Aunt to the entrance of the courtyard. However, the moment she arrived, she saw Jiang Han, who was waiting there.
Seeing Jiang Han, Xu Yanzhu felt slightly embarrassed, but Jiang Han didn’t look at her and respectfully offered to personally send them out of the manor.
For Jiang Han to appear here at this moment, he must have been waiting here for this moment because he had estimated the time.
Old Madame Xu treated Jiang Han very well, she had specifically instructed Jiang Han to be careful of his body, and then left the Jiang Family with Jiang Han.
Not long after Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu returned to the Xu Family, Xu Nuanwen sent someone over to ask if anything had happened at home.
Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu were not surprised that Xu Nuanwen knew about this matter. After all, they had not concealed their trip here, and if Cui Hua had hurried back yesterday, anyone who was concerned about the Xu Family would have noticed.
Others may not come and ask, but it was perfectly justified for Xu Nuanwen to pay attention to the Xu Family, furthermore, she had sent people to ask because she was concerned about the situation on the Xu Family.
Because of the matter with Xu Yanzhu, it was not convenient to speak of it through other people’s mouth, so Old Madame Xu only told the servant that Xu Yanzhu was not feeling well.
However, Old Madame Xu still wrote an ordinary letter personally, but had the servant bring it back to Xu Nuanwen.
An hour later, Xu Nuanwen received her mother’s handwritten letter. With just a glance, she confirmed that something had happened to Yanzhu.
“Jiang Family is currently being filial, so it’s not like I should rashly head there. Send someone to prepare for it, I’ll go see Mother tomorrow and ask about Yanzhu’s condition.”
Although Xu Nuanwen was suspicious of what was going on with Xu Yanzhu, she knew that since her mother wrote such a profound letter to him, the matter with Yanzhu would definitely be very serious.
The servant woman who brought back the letter was not surprised to hear Xu Nuanwen’s words. Her own Crown Princess had not gotten the chance to go to Xu Family in the near future due to some matters. When she heard that there was something important with Xu Family, she would definitely go back to take a look.
When Ye Jingxing heard that Xu Nuanwen was going to return to the Xu Family on the second day, he was not surprised as well. He did not pay much attention to the Jiang Family, so he naturally did not know what happened to the Jiang Family.
However, in the end, Ye Jingxing still opened his mouth and said to Xu Nuanwen: “Today’s news from the palace, I’m afraid that Royal Father has thoughts of abdicating from the throne.”
