C149 (1/2)

For the time being, the grudges and grudges within the palace would not affect the Xu Family outside. Especially with the protection and concealment that were deliberately concealed by a few people, the Xu Family had been exceptionally stable for the past few days.

Other than accepting the invitation from the two clan leaders' wives, Dong Shu had also been accompanying them ever since.

Yuanxi slowly grew up and it became more and more fun. Dong Shu would tease her for a while everyday before she would do other things.

On this day, Dong Shu played with Yuanxi as usual. After she fell asleep from exhaustion, just as she was about to go look at the account book,'s servant woman, Lady Li, suddenly activated her Shihuan Courtyard.

The Li Clan had once taken care of Dong Shu when she was pregnant, so after returning to the capital, as long as Old Madame Xu wanted to speak with Dong Shu about something that she did not want others to know about, she would send Madame Li over.

Now that she saw the Li Clan, Dong Shu knew that his mother-in-law had other things that she did not want others to know.

After she waved her hand to tell Ling Xiang to bring Huo Xiang and Li Xiang away, she looked at Madame Li and said: ”But mother has something to tell me again?”

”In reply to Madam, the Jiang Family sent a message just now saying that Mrs. Jiang is severely ill, and might not have much time left to live.”

Just as Li Clan said what Old Madame Xu wanted her to convey, Dong Shu opened her eyes wide in shock.

She knew that Madam Jiang Family was always sick, but before this, didn't they say that her body was not feeling good? Why did someone suddenly say something when she was on the verge of death?

Dong Shu pondered for a moment, but before she could understand, Madame Li continued: ”Mrs. Jiang said that Young Master Jiang has no son, and our First Miss has been married for almost a year, and wishes for our two maids to be the concubines of Young Master Jiang. They also said that as long as they could conceive, they would be carried as concubines. ”

”I understand. You go back first, I'll pack my things here and go to Main Yard to look after my mother.” Dong Shu frowned, thinking back to what Yanzhu had just said to him, she couldn't help but be worried.

Yanzhu had not consummated her marriage with Jiang Han yet, so let alone nearly a year, even if it were three years, she still wouldn't be able to produce a child.

However, she really had no choice on what to do.

When the Li Clan heard Dong Shu's answer, she nodded her head and answered and returned to her Main Yard first.

After Madame Li left, Dong Shu ordered Lixiang to stay behind and watch the kitchen until Yuanxi's egg yolk juice was ready before she was fed Yuanxi's wet nurse, while she herself brought Ling Xiang and He Xiang to Main Yard.

When Dong Shu arrived at the Main Yard, he saw the Old Madame Xu standing there, admiring the flowers. Seeing that her mother-in-law still had the mood to admire the flowers, Dong Shu could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

After raising her hand to stop Ling Xiang and the Lotus Fragrance from continuing any further, Dong Shu took a few steps forward herself.

”Mother, please get Madame Li to look for me. About Yanzhu …”

”It's not urgent.” Dong Shu had not finished speaking when Old Madame Xu suddenly interrupted her. Seeing her puzzled face, she continued to speak: ”Do you know who sent the news today?”

Dong Shu did not understand why the Old Madame Xu said that, but after a moment of hesitation, she reacted, if Xu Yanzhu asked someone to deliver the news today, she would not have asked that.

As such, she made a bold guess: ”Could it be that Jiang Han sent them?”

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, the Old Madame Xu nodded her head: ”That's right, it was Jiang Han who delivered this.”

The moment Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu's eyes widened in shock. She never thought that this news would actually come from Jiang Han.

”Mother, that Yanzhu didn't send a letter back?” Right after she said that, without waiting for Old Madame Xu's reply, Dong Shu continued: ”Mother, do you want me to go to the Jiang Family to take a look?”

Dong Shu was truly worried for Xu Yanzhu. Ever since she had married into the Xu Family, Xu Yanzhu had always been with her.

When she was at her most ignorant, Xu Yanzhu had always taught her various things. Now that Xu Yanzhu might be in trouble, she was naturally extremely anxious.

When the Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu, she did not immediately reject him. She looked at Dong Shu, and seeing that the urgency in her eyes did not seem fake, she continued: ”Mother knows that your relationship with Yanzhu is good, but do you understand what kind of identity you should have after entering the Jiang Family? What kind of attitude should I use to speak with the Mrs. Jiang? ”

”Hmm?” At first, Dong Shu did not understand what the Old Madame Xu meant, but when she stared at him, she finally understood what her mother-in-law meant.

”Mother, I am an elder of Yanzhu's, and am of the same generation as Mrs. Jiang. ”Not to mention, I'm His Majesty's conferred ruler.”

Seeing that Dong Shu reacted quickly, Old Madame Xu heaved a sigh of relief and agreed to let her go to the Jiang Family.

With Old Madame Xu's agreement, Dong Shu was in a hurry to go back and pack up the ingredients. At the same time, she did not forget to send someone to send a thread to Jiang Family.

In order to support Xu Yanzhu, Dong Shu had specially sent a post to the Mama Yan.

Mama Yan was a Mama that came from the Phoenix Palace, so even if her Jiang Family was merely for business, she was clearly aware of this fact.

With the Mama Yan sending him the invitation, Jiang Family would naturally not stop Dong Shu from seeing Xu Yanzhu. Not only did she not dare to stop Dong Shu, her Jiang Family had also opened on the second day, waiting for Dong Shu to go.

Dong Shu changed into a country lord's crown early the next morning, and took a stance to go to the Jiang Family.

As for the extremely ill Madam Jiang Family, she could only wait for Dong Shu to arrive in the house; she was truly powerless to get off the bed.

The moment Dong Shu entered the Jiang Family, he saw Xu Yanzhu who was waiting at the second gate. Just as Dong Shu was about to speak, in the next instant, she saw another servant woman who was by Xu Yanzhu's side.

Just as Dong Shu's gaze fell on the servant woman, the servant woman also respectfully bowed to Dong Shu: ”This servant pays her respects to Village Master Fu Kang. Madam really wasn't able to get up this morning, I hope you can forgive me.”

Dong Shu had received guidance from the Mama Yan and Xu Shiqiu's guidance last night, so after hearing the servant's words, she could only slightly nod her head.
