Lucky Star Little Maid - C180
After Xu Shiqiu and his group left, Dong Shu prepared to return home.
But when Xu Shiqiu went over, there were still a lot of soldiers behind Xu Shiqiu and the spectators. Looking at the citizens slowly moving forward, Mama Yan turned to Dong Shu and said: “Madam, there are quite a few people below, why don’t we sit here for a while?”
Dong Shu could roughly guess what the situation was like, it was so noisy and she could tell that there were a lot of people.
“Mm. Hubby, you will have to stay for a while before you can return home. We’ll just have to wait a little longer.” Although Dong Shu was anxious to return home and wait for Xu Shiqiu, she was clear about the current situation.
Thus, after hearing Mama Yan’s words, she nodded her head and agreed to her suggestion.
But Dong Shu did not expect that not long after she sat upstairs, someone knocked on the door.
Thinking back to what the waiter had said before they left, although Dong Shu was suspicious, she still asked Mama Yan to go to the door and see what was going on.
Mama Yan walked quickly to the door, and just as she opened it, he saw Jiang Han standing at the door.
The moment she saw Jiang Han, Mama Yan took half a step back. Without even turning her head around, she said towards the room, “Madam, it’s Young Noble Jiang Family.”
“Please come in.” Although Dong Shu did not know why Jiang Han had come to find her, she would not give Jiang Han face since he was still living in the Jiang Family.
After greeting the young generation, he said straightforwardly: “When Yanzhu found out that Third Uncle was returning to the capital today, he asked Cui Hua to send me a letter before I left this morning. He said that he wanted to invite Grandmother, Third Uncle and Third Uncle to a manor outside the city to admire the chrysanthemums.”
Dong Shu didn’t think that Jiang Han would tell her about this right after she entered the door. She was stunned for a moment before she realised that there were indeed many chrysanthemums in the manor that Xu Yanzhu married.
Furthermore, Jiang Han had even mentioned Cui Hua earlier, so this must really be his idea. Otherwise, Jiang Han wouldn’t dare to mention Cui Hua.
After all, whether this matter was true or false, as long as he asked Cui Hua, he would know.
But Dong Shu understood, Xu Yanzhu definitely had something to talk about.
It was just that when she thought about how Xu Shiqiu had just returned and how she didn’t know what he was thinking, she didn’t dare to directly agree to his words.
“Jiang Han, you should also know that your Third Uncle just came back today. I’m not sure what his plans are either. How about this, when your Third Uncle returns home, I will tell him about this matter. No matter what intentions he has, I will send someone to your house to inform you. ”
Hearing Dong Shu’s words, Jiang Han immediately nodded his head: “Third Aunt is right, then I will go home and wait. Coincidentally, Yanzhu is also anxious to know about Third Uncle’s return to the capital.”
Listening to Jiang Han talking about him and Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu suddenly had a feeling that their relationship was much better than before.
This was because Dong Shu’s blank stare allowed Jiang Han to see through her doubts.
Jiang Han also didn’t hide it from his and directly looked at Dong Shu: “Third Aunt, now that I think about it, no matter what, Yanzhu is still my cousin. When she has children in the future, she will have to call me ‘Uncle’. ”
Hearing Jiang Han’s words, Dong Shu heaved a sigh of relief, just that she did not know, that Jiang Han could understand so quickly, because she was forced by the Third Prince into a corner.
He didn’t want to be forced onto the Third Prince, this ship that was destined to sink, so he could only use his relationship with Xu Yanzhu’s cousin to settle the relationship between him and the Xu Family.
Only by settling his relationship with the Xu Family would he be able to live a good life when he reached Fifth Prince s in the future.
Jiang Han didn’t think of any other possibilities. Amongst all the princes whose mothers were of noble birth, only the Fifth Prince seemed to have the appearance of an enlightened ruler. His Majesty was still alive, after all.
He believed that as long as His Majesty wasn’t a fool, he wouldn’t hand over the throne to anyone else.
Even if there was another possibility, the Middle Palace Empress would still become the empress dowager. The Empress Hu doted on Dong Shu so much that Jiang Han felt that he had made the right choice.
Dong Shu didn’t know how much Jiang Han had thought about it. Because she had heard what Jiang Han had said just now, her worries for him had been put down by quite a bit.
“It’s great that you can think that way. Rest assured, I will bring your thoughts back to your grandmother and your Third Uncle to know. ” After saying that, Dong Shu thought for a while and looked at Jiang Han again, then continued: Your Third Uncle has returned to the capital, and will not leave the capital for the time being, if you have anything, you can just find him.
Dong Shu thought that since he and her mother-in-law were women after all, and their Jiang Family still contained filial piety, it was not good for them to come often.
It was not good for Jiang Han to go and find them, but if he saw Xu Shiqiu outside, there would definitely be no problem.
After Jiang Han understood the meaning of Dong Shu’s words, he immediately nodded at her: “Yes, I understand.”
Jiang Han did indeed have something to ask Xu Shiqiu. The matter of him being asked by the Third Prince for silver had to be settled quickly.
After saying this, Jiang Han still wanted to go to the other stores to take a look, so he didn’t stay in the top floor any longer and directly left.
After Jiang Han left, Mama Yan looked outside again. Seeing that there were no longer as many people outside as before, he turned to Dong Shu and said: “Madam, there aren’t many people left downstairs, how about we inform the waiter and have him call our coachman?”
“Mm, go ahead.” After saying that, Dong Shu added: “Bring some silver with you. If the shopkeeper does not accept our silver, give him some as reward.”
Mama Yan understood what Dong Shu meant. She was a personal servant of Dong Shu and understood the relationship between Xu Family and the current situation.
Before going out, Mama Yan glanced at the snacks and tea that the waiter had brought over, she estimated the price of these things in her heart, and then took out about twice the amount of silver from his money pouch and held it in her hand. Then, she walked out.
After Mama Yan left the room, Dong Shu took another few sips of the tea that was still considered warm.
The Mama Yan returned very quickly. The manager of the brocade tower was indeed unwilling to accept their silver, but the Mama Yan still gave the silver in her hand to the shopkeeper as a reward.
The Head Shopkeeper of the Top Scorer did not accept Dong Shu’s silver when he heard Jiang Han’s words, but this time Mama Yan was giving him a reward, so he could not reject it.
When the Mama Yan returned, she told Dong Shu about it. Dong Shu did not say anything and nodded, indicating that she knew. Then, he led the Mama Yan down the stairs.
Just as Mama Yan supported Dong Shu downstairs, the carriage for Xu Family arrived at the entrance of the top floor. Before Dong Shu even got on the carriage, she noticed that she was looking at him when she had just arrived.
Dong Shu swept a glance over there. As expected, it were the two people she met before. She quickly retracted her gaze, but she was constantly wondering in her heart who these two people were.
When they met in the palace previously, she had never looked straight at Third Prince. Furthermore, after such a long time, she had not paid attention to Third Prince, so she naturally could not recognize him either.
Furthermore, Third Prince’s dressing today was completely different from last time.
Seeing that Dong Shu had only taken a glance at them, she returned her gaze back to the carriage and got ready to leave. Liu Mu suddenly asked Third Prince beside him in a strange tone, “Cousin brother, do you think that Young Girl of Xu Family did not see my appearance or really do not like it?” As Liu Mu spoke, he raised his hand to touch his face.
Ye Jingche turned his face and looked at Liu Mu, then said: “Didn’t you say that you don’t have First Miss s that you can’t take down? Now that Xu Shiqiu has returned to the capital, it would be inconvenient for you to have him around. ”
Hearing Ye Jingche’s words, Liu Mu immediately felt that Ye Jingche did not believe in his own abilities, and immediately looked at him and guaranteed: “Cousin, just watch and see, in less than a month, I will definitely be able to take down this Young Girl!”
Liu Mu was sure, but Ye Jingche didn’t really believe him, but at the bottom of his heart, he was still holding onto his fantasy. If Liu Mu could really get Dong Shu, then it would be much easier for him to get her to come over.
Liu Mu did not know what Ye Jingche was thinking, and started to think about what he should do to get Dong Shu into his hands as soon as possible.
Since he had already made a promise to his cousin, he must do it, or else it would be too embarrassing.
Dong Shu did not know what happened after she left. She was only thinking of returning home quickly and waiting for Xu Shiqiu to return.
Just as Dong Shu was about to enter the carriage, she heard Old Madame Xu coaxing him. Upon hearing the voice, Dong Shu immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage to look outside.
Outside the horse carriage, Yuanxi was lying in front of her wet nurse with an unhappy face. Old Madame Xu was sitting on a chair that had been brought over from an unknown place, gently coaxing Yuanxi.
The moment Dong Shu appeared, it was as if Yuanxi knew that it was her, and immediately looked towards her.
After seeing her, Yuanxi immediately let out a “wow” and cried out in grievance.
Hearing Yuanxi’s crying voice, Dong Shu suddenly felt that she had really done something wrong today when she didn’t bring Yuanxi out.
