As soon as Cui Hua finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu subconsciously looked towards Dong Shu.

When he saw that Young Girl was blushing because of Cui Hua's sudden appearance, he immediately let go of her arm and looked towards Cui Hua: ”Alright, we will go right now.”

After saying that, Xu Shiqiu lowered his head and looked straight into Dong Shu's eyes: ”I wonder what mother is calling us for, Big Brother Ru and the others will be here in a while, I'll help you with everything.”

Dong Shu saw that when Xu Shiqiu said those words, he did not know how to react. After being stunned for a moment, he nodded his head.

Dong Shu did not think too much about it. After all, she understood that her husband would not harm her.

Although Xu Shiqiu didn't know what the Young Girl was thinking, he still revealed a slight smile after seeing Dong Shu nod her head.

Seeing that Young Girl had no intention to speak, Xu Shiqiu brought her back to the Main Yard that they used to live in Old Madame Xu.

When Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu arrived at the Main Yard, both the main house and the second house were not there. Only the Old Madame Xu was sitting alone on the main seat at the head of the hall.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu couldn't help but quicken their pace, and quickly walked inside.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Old Madame Xu slowly raised her head. She looked at Xu Shiqiu and them and was about to give them a smile, but because her face had been tense for too long just now, she was actually unable to smile.

Xu Shiqiu naturally noticed the change in Old Madame Xu's face.

He looked at his mother, who was sitting on the seat of honor. Seeing her expression, his heart tightened and he hurriedly asked, ”Mother, why have you called us here?”

When Xu Shiqiu saw that Old Madame Xu had just finished speaking, he sighed softly, ”I'm afraid the sky is going to be in chaos again.”

Xu Shiqiu originally thought that his mother would do this because she was angry at her brothers. However, once his mother spoke, he knew that this was not the case.

Xu Shiqiu did not want Dong Shu to hear about these troublesome matters, but if she was not by his side, he was afraid something might happen to his mother.

Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu immediately turned around and said to Dong Shu: ”My wife, you are also tired today, hurry up and sit down to rest.” With that, Xu Shiqiu led Dong Shu to a chair at the side and sat down. After that, he called a servant woman and brought two plates of dim sum for her to eat, then another cup of tea.

Seeing that the Young Girl was happily sitting down to eat dessert, Xu Shiqiu then took two steps towards his mother. After ensuring that there was no accident at this distance, Xu Shiqiu's mother then sat down and asked her, ”Mother, did you hear some news from Big Brother?”

When Xu Shiqiu was moving, Old Madame Xu just watched him quietly like that. Until Xu Shiqiu sat down, only then did Old Madame Xu look at him and ask, ”With Madame Dong by your side, are you really the same as usual?”

Xu Shiqiu never thought that his mother would ask him about this. Because he wasn't prepared, he was stunned.

After a few breaths of time, Xu Shiqiu finally reacted, and looked at his mother with a smile and nodded: ”Indeed. Ever since her son had married into the Madame Dong, other than once again causing two of her servants to throw their food boxes when she was not by his side, the rest of the time has never happened again. ”

Speaking of this matter, Xu Shiqiu was in an excited state.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu's reaction, Old Madame Xu knew that he wasn't lying to him.

When Old Madame Xu gave Dong Shu a satisfied look, she then looked at Xu Shiqiu and continued, ”Since Madame Dong is blessed, you should take care of her in the future. With her by your side, mother won't have to worry. ”

Xu Shiqiu never thought that his mother would suddenly say this. Before he even had the time to retract the smile on his face, it had abruptly stiffened.

”Mother, what exactly happened? Even if the sky changed, could it be that it has something to do with us? Did Big Brother and Big Sis just say something to Mother? ”

Xu Shiqiu had thought it through very clearly. The person his mother had just met was his big brother and sister-in-law. So the reason her mother found out about this was definitely because of them.

Since Old Madame Xu had called Xu Shiqiu over, then he had no intentions of hiding this from him.

She nodded at Xu Shiqiu, then continued, ”Your elder brother said that His Majesty felt that he had reached the age of one last year and wanted to re-establish him as the crown prince. Before he went back to the capital, your sister sent him back with a message. Asking about our family, are you still preparing to return to the capital? ”

When Old Madame Xu said her first sentence, Xu Shiqiu already understood why his mother said that the sky was going to be messed up again.

Since ancient times, the fight for the throne had always been filled with blood and gore.

Not to mention that His Majesty was going to re-establish the crown prince this time. With no second son in the Middle Palace, there was a similar chance for the sons of his concubines and other concubines.

As long as he became the crown prince, once His Majesty died, he would be able to reasonably inherit the throne. He wouldn't have to think of all sorts of ways to fight for the throne.

Thinking about it, Xu Shiqiu suddenly thought of something. Nine years ago, his father would suddenly die, and that would be when he would be forced to ascend the throne.

It was only because he stayed home every day without knowing what had happened that day. He also didn't know why his father was willing to die, so he chose not to say anything.

If Xu Shiqiu had to choose, he was naturally unwilling to participate in this matter.

But other than his mother, the elder sister who doted on him the most was the principal wife of the Fifth Prince.
