After sensing the scheme of Second Sister-in-law, Xu Shiqiu did not say anything directly, but placed a bit more of his focus on her, afraid that she would suddenly say something that would harm Young Girl.

But perhaps there was something else in Madame Jiang's heart, Xu Shiqiu waited for a long time and still did not hear it.

Seeing that Second Sister-in-law had no intention to speak, Xu Shiqiu shifted his attention away from her.

At the same time, Madame Ye looked at Old Madame Xu and explained her family's most recent situation.

”Mother, my birth appearance was unstable a few days ago, so I had to rest at home. I also couldn't be at ease while taking her out. After a few more days, when she gives birth, I'll come and ask mother to come over. ” Madame Ye's tone was sincere, as though she was indeed being held up by her pregnant daughter-in-law these days.

When Old Madame Xu heard her words, she did not intend to expose her. She nodded and said, ”It's not easy to be pregnant, it's only right that you spend more time at home with her.”

After he finished speaking to the Madame Ye, the Old Madame Xu turned to look at Madame Hu who was seated at the side.

Madame Hu's appearance could not be considered to be outstanding, and could only be considered pretty. But perhaps it was due to her being born in a Madame Hu, the temperament of her body was not bad.

Just by looking at her posture, Old Madame Xu knew that she had a good upbringing.

Old Madame Xu felt satisfied in her heart, and couldn't help but speak with a gentler tone, ”It's not easy for you to be pregnant, just tell your mother-in-law what you want to eat.”

Upon hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Madame Hu wanted to stand up and bow, but before she could do anything, Xu Yanqing, who was beside her, stood up first and supported her by bowing to Old Madame Xu.

”Thank you for your concern, Grandmother.” After the husband and wife said this at the same time, Xu Yanqing carefully supported Madame Hu and sat down again.

Madame Hu had already gotten used to Hubby's care for him, but when he thought about how not only his mother-in-law was there, but also Hubby's grandmother, he felt extremely embarrassed.

Seeing her distress, Old Madame Xu said to Xu Yanqing first, ”Brother Qing, you've done very well. Since you've already married your wife, you must take good care of her. Now that she's giving birth to a child for you, you can't just focus on reading and leave your wife behind. ”

When Old Madame Xu said this, Xu Yanqing respectfully replied.

On the other hand, when Madame Hu heard what Old Madame Xu said, he couldn't help but raise his head and glance at her.

Evidently, the Madame Hu had not expected the Old Madame Xu to say such a thing.

Old Madame Xu could naturally feel the look in Madame Hu's eyes as she looked at her, but she did not care at all. After she finished speaking, she looked towards Madame Ye and asked: ”What exactly did you come here for today?”

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Madame Ye wanted to open her mouth to deny it, but before she could do so, she heard Old Madame Xu opening her mouth once again: ”Think carefully before saying it again, whether or not you are alright.”

Hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Madame Ye could only speak with slight embarrassment: ”I heard that the family invited Master Xuan Ling to suppress Third Brother's bad luck?”

Just as Madame Ye had finished speaking, before she could speak, Xu Shiqiu had already spoken out loud: ”Thank you sister-in-law for your concern, a portion of the bad luck on my body has indeed been suppressed.”

Xu Shiqiu did not say it out loud, but after he said those words, everyone in the hall, including those from the second house, set their gazes on him.

It was not the first time that Xu Shiqiu was being sized up by so many people, so he was not embarrassed at all. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he thought for a bit before continuing, ”Now that I can see everyone alone, I do not immediately break their legs like before.

Xu Shiqiu's words were not a lie, it was just that after these few days, everyone who came to see him would be exceptionally careful, so even things like sprained legs and sprained legs were less than what they were at the start.

However, he did not want to make these matters too clear.

What Xu Shiqiu did not wish to say was too clear, and Dong Shu and the Old Madame Xu did not have any intention of explaining it, so the Xu Family Main Room and the Xu Family Second Room could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

”Since that's the case, what are third brother's plans for the future?”

When Madame Ye saw that Xu Shiqiu had finished speaking, Xu Yanhao who was seated at the side seemed to have opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, Xu Yanhao did not speak.

Xu Shiqiu swept his gaze over them from the corner of his eyes and discovered that something was off about Xu Yanhao.

He was the grandson of Xu Family, and so was Xu Yanhao.

However, Xu Yanhao was still the grandson of the Prince Duan. When his father was in trouble, he handed over the military authority to the Prince Duan.

So many years had passed, and from what his elder sister said, Prince Duan seemed to have the intention of returning the military power that his father controlled back then to the Xu Family people.

If he did not intend to, then the authority would be given to Xu Yanhao.

Although Xu Yanhao was still young, he was still his father's grandson and his maternal ancestor was still a Prince Duan.

His elder sister-in-law was afraid.

After thinking about this, Xu Shiqiu smirked and said, ”Not yet, but after a few days, when my bad luck really doesn't injure anyone, I should enter the palace and wait for the Divine Empress to make the decision.”

Xu Shiqiu did not lie. Back then, the reason the Master Xuan Ling was so active in helping was also because the Emperor wanted to see him.

Although the Emperor knew that his Young Girl was blessed, he didn't say that he didn't see him.

No matter what he wanted to do, he had to wait until the end of his meeting with the Emperor Ruikang.

When the Madame Ye heard Xu Shiqiu mentioning the Heavenly Sage, she immediately understood what he meant.

Right now, it wasn't because Xu Shiqiu wanted to take over the military power, but because his royal uncle wanted to hand it over to someone.

Although his Hao er had half of the Madame Ye bloodline, but Xu Shiqiu had a blessed Young Girl.

Thinking about it, Madame Ye felt pain in her heart.

She really did not think that the Third Sister-in-Law she looked at stupidly was truly blessed.

When Dong Shu noticed that her sister-in-law was looking at him, she immediately raised her head and nodded at her with a smile: ”Sister-in-law is looking at me like this, do you have something to say?”
