Lucky Star Little Maid - C200
The reason the Old Madame Xu had such a guess was entirely because of her hint.
It’s just that Old Madame Xu does not plan to tell Dong Shu about these matters right now. Otherwise, with her personality, she would have thought of doing this a long time ago.
After thinking about it, Old Madame Xu looked at Dong Shu and said, “I have my own guesses on this matter, but as to what it is, I will need to discuss it with Shiqiu first. Only then can I be certain.” As she spoke, Old Madame Xu was also pondering how she should talk to Xu Shiqiu about this matter. She would definitely have to avoid Dong Shu a little.
Dong Shu was not surprised to hear her mother-in-law say that.
Even she could feel the hidden meaning in Empress Hu’s words, so it was very normal for Grandma to be able to think of that.
Furthermore, if it was a small matter, Empress Hu would probably tell her directly, just like she did before.
Therefore, Dong Shu did not suspect anything from the start that her mother-in-law wanted to discuss with her husband.
Seeing that Dong Shu did not suspect anything, and did not probe further, Old Madame Xu heaved a sigh of relief.
This matter was too big, the reason the Queen could tell them about the Xu Family at this time was probably because of Dong Shu. Since this was the case, then their family had to be careful and protect this blessed daughter-in-law.
Dong Shu did not know what her mother-in-law was thinking. After she finished saying what happened today when she entered the palace, Dong Shu prepared to return to her Shihuan Courtyard to accompany Yuanxi.
Now that Yuanxi has grown bigger and bigger, the things that she understands have increased. If she was to accompany her to play after half a day outside, she would definitely look at you with an aggrieved expression on her face again. It was unknown who she had learnt this kind of expression from.
When Old Madame Xu saw Dong Shu’s expression, she could guess that she wanted to accompany Yuanxi, “Since you guys got so much good stuff today, then you and Yuanxi should make some new clothes.” After saying that, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing, “On the day of Yanhao’s engagement, you should remember to put on the clothes the Consort De gifted you today.”
“Yes, I know about that.” Dong Shu naturally understood why her mother-in-law said that. Thinking about the clothes Consort De gave him today, Dong Shu asked uncertainly, “Then for the congratulatory gift for Yanhao, do you want to add on more?”
“No need, let’s do the ceremony that we previously agreed on for Yanhao. If you are willing, after Yanhao gets married, the gift for the Zhang family will be slightly more expensive. ” After saying this, the Old Madame Xu was still worried and said, “Also, Brother Ning, you have to prepare some things for your child and give them to him.”
“Yes, I will arrange it later.”
In truth, Old Madame Xu did not remind Dong Shu of this matter, but since Granny had reminded him, she would definitely remember it well.
Now, because of the things that Consort De gave her, she gave the Zhang Clan a more precious gift. That could not be ignored either, as she gave birth to a grandson for the Xu Family.
In the future, their Xu Family family clan would only grow bigger and bigger. These things, should be remembered and arranged well by a manager like her.
After leaving the Main Yard, Dong Shu immediately returned to the Shihuan Courtyard. When she returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, Yuanxi just so happened to have a good meal, wash up, and then obediently sit on the wolf skin and play with the little toy Dong Shu had made for her.
When Dong Shu saw Yuanxi sitting there obediently and playing by herself, she immediately laughed, “Yuanxi, Mother is back, do you miss mother?” Saying that, Dong Shu walked to the side of the wolfskin blanket, took off her shoes, and quickly walked towards Yuanxi.
The moment Yuanxi heard her voice, she quickly raised her head. When she saw that it really was her mother, she immediately threw down the toy in her hands and crawled towards Dong Shu.
Seeing Yuanxi happily crawling towards him, Dong Shu hurriedly stopped and sat on the wolf skin blanket.
Just as she sat down, Yuanxi had finally crawled into her embrace.
The moment Yuanxi crawled into Dong Shu’s embrace, she immediately shoved his own fleshy body into Dong Shu’s embrace, and didn’t forget to place his head on Dong Shu’s chest.
Hearing the panting sound of Yuanxi, who was in her embrace, tired, Dong Shu wanted to laugh but did not dare to.
Ever since she brought four pieces of Gray Wolf Skin to make a big blanket for Yuanxi, Yuanxi fell in love with the place she ‘crawled, crawled, and crawled’ every day.
Other than eating, she even wanted to sleep on the wolf’s hide.
Because of her actions, he wanted Xu Shiqiu to hunt more for her if he was thinking of doing so. He definitely could not let his precious daughter be wronged because of a few ordinary strands of grey wolf skin.
Not only did Yuanxi love to stay here, she also liked Dong Shu to stay with her. The wolf skin was thick, and the house was warm, so even if it was already cold today, Yuanxi only needed to play on the wolf skin and she did not need to wear so many clothes.
Dong Shu felt that maybe it was because of this that Yuanxi liked to play on the wolf’s skin.
After the two of them were covered in sweat, it was almost time for Xu Shiqiu to return.
Dong Shu led Yuanxi who was unwilling to leave the wolfskin blanket to bathe and change her clothes, then changed into a comfortable but obviously thicker set of clothes and walked towards the Main Yard.
Compared to before, he was wearing far too many clothes. Adding on to that, his arms were short to begin with, Yuanxi being carried by his wet nurse was extremely dishonest.
Every time Dong Shu stopped in his tracks to look at her, she would blink like Dong Shu and stare at him with her crescent eyes, as if she wanted to continue playing on the wolf skin blanket.
“Yuanxi, be good. You’ve already played for a long time today. Mother will accompany you tomorrow to play on the wolf skin blanket.” Dong Shu did not lie to her just because Yuanxi was young. After she finished speaking, she thought for a while, then continued to speak, “Tomorrow, Mother will sew a cloth ball for you. Now, you and Mother will go see Grandma together, be good ~”
Yuanxi probably did not understand Dong Shu’s words, but after Dong Shu touched her head, Yuanxi had become much more obedient.
When Dong Shu and Yuanxi finally sat down on Main Yard, Xu Shiqiu was back as well.
Recently, Xu Shiqiu had been playing with Yuanxi more than before, so when Yuanxi saw him, he excitedly waved his fat arms and whooped at Xu Shiqiu.
When he returned, he saw his mother, Young Girl and his daughter all waiting for him. Xu Shiqiu was in an extremely good mood, but when he thought about how his mother had specially arranged for him to come here to the Main Yard, Xu Shiqiu guessed that he probably had something to ask him.
Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at Dong Shu and said: “My wife, leave Yuanxi with me. Go and take a look at the prey I brought back today. It’s all because of me bringing people to hunt in our back mountain. Look how we’re going to pack them up, do you want to give some to big brother, second brother, and big sister? ”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu’s words, how could Dong Shu even care if he intentionally let her go? She could only think about how many prey she had today.
This was the second time since the beginning of autumn that Hubby had brought back his prey. Judging from his tone, there seemed to be quite a few left.
After Dong Shu happily handed Yuanxi over to Xu Shiqiu and left, Xu Shiqiu looked at the Old Madame Xu and asked: “Mother, did something happen?” With that, Xu Shiqiu’s expression became serious.
When the Old Madame Xu heard Xu Shiqiu’s words, she retracted her gaze from Yuanxi’s body first and then looked at him. She then told Xu Shiqiu about the things she had said after he entered the palace today.
The moment Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu frowned and looked at sher: “Empress is hinting at our family?” After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he thought for a moment, then continued, “This matter is really not a small matter.”
To be able to get the Empress Hu to remind Dong Shu to conceive a child at the end of the year, it meant that she wouldn’t be able to have a child next year.
The most important thing was that what was going to happen next year would definitely be something even bigger than when the Emperor Ruikang abdicated at the end of the year and the new Emperor ascended the throne.
This way, there was only one possibility …
Seeing Xu Shiqiu’s expression, and seeing him grow more and more serious, Old Madame Xu knew that he had the same guess as Xu Shiqiu.
“Shiqiu, do you think this is true?”
Old Madame Xu was a little worried. If that was really the case, could their Xu Family be used to take revenge?
Thinking about it here, Old Madame Xu thought of another matter, “Empress also reminded us to not go out after a period of time because we need to be careful when we tell Shu’er to go out. Furthermore, I feel that she had hinted at something else as to why she was here to apologize. ” Speaking till here, Old Madame Xu’s eyes also revealed a touch of coldness.
“Mom, this is not a small matter. Whether it’s true or not, our family must make preparations in advance.” The moment Old Madame Xu’s voice fell, Xu Shiqiu saw her opening her mouth, “Mother, don’t worry. Since Empress has already sensed this, it means that he will not be able to accomplish anything.”
Of course, Xu Shiqiu knew what his mother was hinting at, but he didn’t feel that there was a need to worry about these things.
Just as he said, since the Empress had already sensed something like this, then Ye Jingche would definitely not be able to accomplish anything.
After hearing Xu Shiqiu finish speaking, the Old Madame Xu was stunned for a moment, but then he let out a sigh of relief.
Thinking about the Dong Shu who had brought these back, the Old Madame Xu once again told Xu Shiqiu about the matter that he had temporarily hidden from her.
“I’ll tell her about this tonight. Mother, you don’t have to worry.” The moment Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he already thought of how he could talk to Dong Shu about this.
Seeing how confident Xu Shiqiu was, the Old Madame Xu did not ask further about this matter.
After Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu finished talking about this, Dong Shu just so happened to have gone to the kitchen to look at the prey that Xu Shiqiu brought back, and she was back.
“Mother, Hubby did bring back quite a lot of prey today. I made the decision to split them into four parts. We left a copy at home and gave it to Big Bro, Second Bro and Big Sis as well. ” Dong Shu was now becoming more and more adept at handling these matters, there was no need for Old Madame Xu to worry about it at all. After saying all that, she asked again: “Mother, did you tell your husband about today’s matters?”
After Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu’s words, she first continuously nodded his head at her, then said: “You just have to take care of these things. After seeing Dong Shu finish speaking, the Old Madame Xu immediately laughed: “In the past, at this time, there would also be prey for sale in the city. But because there aren’t many things, the price is also high. “Our family has been spending a lot of time eating these kinds of food in the military camps in the outskirts of the capital.”
When Dong Shu heard the words of the Old Madame Xu, she hurriedly praised her husband a few more times. Afterwards, she said that it was too late today, and only asked the kitchen to stew two wild rabbits, leaving the other prey to be carefully packed tomorrow.
Just like this, Xu Shiqiu watched as his mother’s few words brought Young Girl’s attention back to his prey. Seeing Young Girl talking about food, his eyes lit up, and he couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
Regardless of whether or not something will happen to the capital city in a short period of time, he still had to take good care of his wife and daughter at home.
This was his responsibility as a man!
