Xu Shiqiu had been paying attention to Xu Yanbo the entire time, and when he saw's expression changing constantly, he could guess what Xu Yanbo was thinking.

Seeing him size himself up, she could not help but chuckle: ”What? Do you still have any scruples? ” He already understood the situation, yet he still didn't open his mouth. Could it be that he really had some misgivings?

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he nodded his head and said, ”Third Uncle, you know, even though mother didn't suppress me on purpose, she didn't have any intention of nurturing me. Just like I said to the Third Uncle here, if Mother doesn't agree … ”

It was not that Xu Yanbo was a petty person, it was just that he had lived under the Madame Ye's care for more than ten years, and had seen everything too clearly.

His mother wouldn't be hungry to the point of hunger, nor would she intentionally drug him to harm him. However, she wouldn't nurture him.

He could read, and he could calculate, but his mother did not ask him to teach her how to study, nor did she leave the shop to him.

Even when training in martial arts, he had followed them for a few years because even his children and grandchildren had to practice martial arts.

Only, he understood that with his abilities, he might be able to fight against ordinary people, but if he fought with the soldiers in the military camp, he might be beaten up badly.

So he was very worried right now, if he really agreed to Third Uncle's request, but his mother would harm him if she didn't, what would he do?

Xu Yanbo also wanted to make a name for himself, after all, if the eldest son could obtain 70% of the family's property, then his mother's private property would be supplemented by second brother. As for his bastard son, his family property was not much, so there would not be anyone to supplement him.

He had to get married and have children in the future, so he naturally couldn't muddle along like this.

Xu Yanbo's expression kept changing non-stop and when he thought about it, Xu Shiqiu finally understood his intentions.

Although he was not a bastard, he did have many of the bastard sons of officials in the capital under his command.

When these children heard that they were going to form a new army, they were specially approved by His Majesty, so many of them secretly came to report their names.

After staying with them for a while, Xu Shiqiu naturally understood their thoughts.

Thinking to this point, Xu Shiqiu looked at Xu Yanbo and said, ”Yanbo, I will write a letter to your father regarding this matter. Don't worry. Although your mother didn't use the connections in her hands on you, she would absolutely not harm you after knowing your progress. ”

Xu Shiqiu was confident.

Even if his sister-in-law was born Prince Duan's concubine, even though she was the eldest daughter of the Su Family and was raised by the Prince Duan's concubine, she was still a concubine.

Furthermore, Xu Yanbo's birth mother was his eldest sister-in-law's concubine, she knew that he had treated Xu Yanbo well, so if Xu Yanbo had any connections, she would not stop him.

After all, if Xu Yanbo was successful, it would also be beneficial to their house.

Xu Yanbo still believed in the words of Xu Shiqiu, the Third Uncle. After all, he understood in his heart that the Third Uncle had always been a special existence in his family.

Moreover, there was now a Third Aunt who was highly regarded by the Empress.

”In that case, nephew will follow Third Uncle's arrangements.” Xu Yanbo was also unable to think of what he should do in the future, because he had never personally tried it before.

Xu Shiqiu did not get angry after hearing Xu Yanbo's words. He thought for a while, then said: ”Then follow me first, and use some time to think about what you're suitable for. Tell me after you've thought it through, Third Uncle will definitely arrange something for you.”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Yanbo naturally nodded his head in agreement.

He also understood in his heart that the reason the Third Uncle treated him in such a manner was not because he cared too much about him, but because he was the descendant of Xu Family.

However, Xu Yanbo was not unwilling at all, he was naturally deeply grateful that the Third Uncle was willing to give him a promotion.

After settling Xu Yanbo's matters, Xu Shiqiu returned to the backyard.

At the moment, Dong Zhui was playing with Yuan Xi. Yuan Xi didn't understand why she was talking to her, but she still replied obediently to her mother.

Looking at his daughter's obedient appearance, Dong Shu's mood became extremely good.

”My wife.” Once Xu Shiqiu entered the room, he called out to him softly. When she raised his eyes, he continued to speak: ”My wife, Second Uncle Xu came over today, has everything gone smoothly?”

After Xu Shiqiu returned home to eat dinner today, he had consecutively seen his three nephews. Only now did he have the time to calm down and chat with Dong Shu.

Once Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she hurriedly told Xu Shiqiu everything about Xu Er who came today.

After listening to Dong Shu's explanation, Xu Shiqiu nodded and said, ”This is good for big sister.” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu remembered that Dong Shu did not mention Xu Yanzhu, and asked about her again.

”Yanzhu, she …” Dong Shu thought of Xu Yanzhu and felt that it was a bit incomprehensible, ”For some unknown reason, Yanzhu has been raising her head up for the past few days, whenever she stops to think of something. I asked her, but she wouldn't tell me. She just said she was all right. Elder sister also asked her this afternoon, but she refused to say anything. She was so angry that elder sister glared at her for a long time. ”

After saying this, Dong Shu thought for a while, then continued: ”Since I was unable to do anything about it later on, I entrusted some matters of the family to Yanzhu, and asked her to help me do it. But after she finished what I told her, she just sat there in a daze. ”

”The Second Sister-in-law and the rest are here, and she is sitting here too?” Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu blurted out a question.

Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's question, Dong Shu also shook her head and said, ”Mn, and she wasn't even interested in the question that Mother would ask about Second Sister-in-law's Jiang Family.”

Xu Shiqiu knew what his own Young Girl was referring to. He just did not expect Yanzhu to become like this.

”It's a little late today. I'll come back earlier tomorrow to meet Yanzhu.” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu looked at Dong Shu and said: ”My wife, it's getting late, we should rest early.”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu's eyes lit up, and quickly stood up and called for Yuanxi's wet nurse.

After the wet nurse carried Yuanxi away, she looked at Xu Shiqiu with both shyness and anticipation.

When Xu Shiqiu saw the expression in his Young Girl's eyes, he understood what she wanted to do. Not only was he not afraid, he was even looking forward to it.
