Lucky Star Little Maid - C218

When Dong Shu felt Xu Shiqiu’s fiery gaze on him, sshe could only roll her eyes at him helplessly. Then, he hugged Yuanxi tightly in her arms, looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: “It’s getting late, we should go to the Main Yard to pay respects to Mother. Don’t you have something to do later?”

Once Dong Shu said this, Xu Shiqiu understood what she meant. Seeing that she looked like he wanted to escape at any moment, Xu Shiqiu curled his lips and muttered to her: “My wife, don’t be afraid. In this day and night, your husband will not do anything.”

If it was before, Dong Shu might not understand what Xu Shiqiu meant, but since she had been married to him for almost two years, how could she not understand what he meant?

He would not do anything in the daytime, but he definitely had to do something in the evening.

Fortunately, other than the two of them, there was only Yuanxi who did not understand what they were saying. Otherwise, Dong Shu would be so embarrassed that she would not know what to do.

Xu Shiqiu also knew that even though he had been married to Young Girl for almost two years, his face was still as thin as ever, so he immediately looked at Dong Shu and said, “Hold Yuanxi here and wait for me.

“Mm, you can go.” Dong Shu did not ask Xu Shiqiu what she wanted, but yesterday his soldiers brought over 10 big boxes over, she only opened them to take a look, but exactly what was inside, she did not have the time to take a closer look.

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

Xu Shiqiu did indeed have something to give to his mother, but it was not what Dong Shu thought.

The moment he saw the short sword, the Old Madame Xu who was originally sitting steadily on the throne immediately got up. Ignoring the support of the servant next to him, he walked in front of Xu Shiqiu and stared at the short sword: “Shiqiu, did you find this from the Northern Frontier?”

Upon hearing the words of the Old Madame Xu, Xu Shiqiu immediately nodded: “Yes, it was my son who found it from a weapon shop in the northern border.” While speaking, Xu Shiqiu also placed the extremely ordinary short sword into Old Madame Xu’s trembling hands.

This was the first time Dong Shu had seen her mother-in-law cry so much.

She looked at Xu Shiqiu helplessly, only to see him shaking his head at her as if he had sensed her gaze.

Receiving Xu Shiqiu’s hint, Dong Shu could only shut her mouth and look at her mother-in-law who was crying while staring at the short sword with a puzzled expression.

Fortunately, Old Madame Xu was not immersed in her own thoughts, and very quickly, she retracted her thoughts, and used the handkerchief to wipe the tears off her face, and then looked at Xu Shiqiu and said: “You can find this dagger, but I will not feel guilty if I go and see your father in the future.”

After saying that, the Old Madame Xu waved to the servant woman beside him, and with her support, she returned to her original seat.

After the Old Madame Xu sat down, she looked at Xu Shiqiu’s family of three and said: “Yesterday, you all were quite tired, rest well today, tomorrow was the day for your sister to return, according to the rules, I don’t know if they will be able to return this time, but we still need to prepare what to do at home.”

“Yes, I’ll go warn him about this later.”

The moment Old Madame Xu’s voice fell, Dong Shu immediately answered. Just as she was about to ask whether Old Madame Xu had any other instructions, she heard her mother-in-law say: “I was a bit tired yesterday, you guys can go back and rest now, and come eat at my place at night.”

Dong Shu never thought that his mother-in-law would drive her away so quickly, but before she could say anything, Xu Shiqiu had already said respectfully, “Yes, then we’ll come again tonight.”

The only response to Xu Shiqiu was only a slight nod of the Old Madame Xu’s head.

Dong Shu’s face was full of confusion as she was brought out of the Main Yard by Xu Shiqiu. She wanted to ask what exactly was going on with the short sword, but she was worried that this was a taboo.

“Your husband will bring Yuanxi to find Yan Ye now. You can arrange the things that your mother told you just now, and when we return to the Shihuan Courtyard, your husband will tell you more about this matter.”

Xu Shiqiu seemed to be able to guess what Dong Shu was thinking and directly spoke out when she was still hesitating.

With Xu Shiqiu’s words, Dong Shu’s originally wild guessing also calmed down in an instant.

If she were to frown or move around randomly, I’m afraid that if she wasn’t hungry, she would just need to pee. ” Dong Shu said worriedly. Then, she watched as Xu Shiqiu carried Yuanxi, who was unwilling to leave her place, towards the backyard where Xu Yanzhu used to live.

As the housewife currently in the family, she naturally had to worry about the matter of Aunt Sister’s return tomorrow.

Although the servants of the Xu Family had also experienced a commotion yesterday, they had all recovered well. After patrolling around in front of them and discovering that everything had been arranged well, they nodded their heads in satisfaction and prepared to return.

Just as she was about to return to the Shihuan Courtyard, Dong Lei suddenly took the initiative to find her.

“Big Bro Lei, you came at the right time. My husband said yesterday that he had been rather busy these two days, and I expect that he will come and talk to you the day after tomorrow. ” Dong Shu roughly calculated in her heart. Today, Xu Shiqiu was going to look for Yan Ye, and tomorrow was the second day of the new year.

After Dong Lei heard Dong Shu’s words, he first smiled and nodded, then looked at her and said: “This matter is not urgent, I will definitely wait for Yuanxi to grab the weekly feast before returning.” After saying that, Dong Lei looked around at Dong Shu, and then pulled her by the sleeve, bringing her to the side and whispering: “Shu’er, is your brother-in-law really going to sit on that seat?” Saying that, Dong Lei pointed to the sky.

“Yes, early February.” Dong Shu was also affected by Dong Lei, so she lowered her volume.

Hearing Dong Shu’s words, Dong Lei nodded his head, then looked at Dong Shu and spoke: “Since it’s like this, then I presume that there will be people protecting the Xu Family from now on.” After saying this, Dong Lei furrowed his brows for a moment. Then, he looked at Dong Shu and said, “Shu’er, you also know that I’ve been visiting the outside world almost every day. A few days ago, while I was drinking tea in a teahouse, I heard a rumor that the bloodline of the previous crown prince remained in this world. ”

Dong Lei only felt that this news was unfavorable for his younger cousin who was about to ascend the throne, which was why he said it out loud.

But what he did not know, was that when he said those words, Dong Shu’s heart jumped.

Dong Shu was clear that the Cousin did not know of Yan Ye’s identity, but he knew that she did.

Yan Ye was the eldest son of the previous crown prince, and he was still alive.

But why would there be rumors about this outside?

Dong Shu didn’t know how she should ask. She just wanted to find Xu Shiqiu and quickly tell him about it.

Dong Lei did not expect these words from him, which made Dong Shu become so nervous. Seeing Dong Shu frown without saying a word, he only thought that she had never heard of this matter.

“This news has been spreading in those lowly teahouses. It will probably take some time for it to reach your ears.” This was also the experience that Dong Lei gained for the past year. Sometimes, news would first spread out from those inconspicuous little restaurants.

Hearing Dong Lei’s words, Dong Shu returned to her senses and nodded to him, then said: “I will tell my husband about this, and ask him to send someone over to investigate the specifics.” It was not convenient for Dong Shu to be too detailed with her, so even though she was extremely anxious, she still stabilized herself and spoke to Dong Lei a few more times before parting ways with him to look for Xu Shiqiu in his courtyard.

And in the courtyard Xu Yanzhu was in, Yan Ye was actually discussing this matter with him.

“This news was discovered by the most ordinary person under my command. He actually doesn’t know my identity. He only felt that something was wrong and decided to report it.”

When Yan Ye said this, his eyebrows creased under the mask.

The person at the bottom didn’t know his identity, but the people at the top did know his identity.

Thus, when they heard about this news, they immediately reported it to him.

When Xu Shiqiu heard about this matter, Xu Shiqiu was also somewhat shocked. He never would have thought that in these few days, in the most ordinary and inconspicuous place in the capital, there would actually be such a rumor.

The most important point was that although this rumor was just a rumor, they knew that it was the truth.

“Did you send someone to investigate?”

Xu Shiqiu looked at Yan Ye, and just as he finished speaking, Yan Ye shook his head: “I did not easily send my men to investigate, I was afraid it was just a trap. So, I wanted to ask Third Uncle to send someone to investigate this matter. ”

Xu Shiqiu was very satisfied with Yan Ye being able to calm down and think about this. After all, his identity was special, and if he really sent people to investigate, he might get someone to find out something.

On the other hand, if someone from the Xu Family were to send someone to investigate it, even if that person were to sense it, they would only think that they were afraid that the previous crown prince would actually leave behind his bloodline in the world.

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll send people to investigate later.” After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused for a while, before continuing: “When are you planning to head back?”

The reason why Xu Shiqiu asked that was also because he had estimated Xu Yanzhu’s date of birth.

Although Yanzhu would need a few more months to give birth, she had been troubled quite a bit when she was pregnant with that child. Doctor Du had long ago said that she should be born prematurely.

Therefore, Xu Shiqiu still hoped that Yan Ye would return to accompany him.

Yan Ye understood this point, so when he heard Xu Shiqiu’s words, he immediately replied: “After uncle ascends the throne, if I see a single grandmother, I’ll go back.”

Hearing Yan Ye’s words, Xu Shiqiu calculated the next day in his heart, and did not say a word, and only nodded at him.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu wanted to talk with Yan Ye again, but Yuanxi, who was in his arms, moved her body restlessly.

Sensing Yuanxi’s actions, Xu Shiqiu immediately thought of Dong Shu’s words. Holding Yuanxi who was in his embrace, he stood up helplessly: “My Yuanxi doesn’t want to stay here any longer. I’ll take her back to find her mother first.

Yan Ye naturally understood the meaning behind Xu Shiqiu’s words, and thought that he would also be able to hug Yanzhu and himself in a few months, so he ignored the flaunting of Third Uncle in front of him.

Xu Shiqiu didn’t mind if he didn’t hear Yan Ye’s words. Carrying the courtyard that was moving non-stop, they walked out of the courtyard with large strides towards the Shihuan Courtyard.

When he was just halfway there, he coincidentally bumped into Dong Shu, who had come looking for him.

When Dong Shu saw Xu Shiqiu, just as she was about to speak, among the few secret guards who had been hiding in the shadows, two of them 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. Just as she was still in a daze, Yue Rong had already opened her mouth, “Madam, the Empress wishes to see you now.”

Hearing Yue Rong’s words, Dong Shu immediately thought of what Cousin had just told him.

And Xu Shiqiu, apparently, had also thought of this.

Empress, did she also hear of this?
