Ye Shuo's reaction was truly exaggerated. After beating himself up, he hurriedly looked for his luggage and then used the fastest speed to take out two letters to give to Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu respectively.

”Third Uncle, Mother said that I must personally deliver this letter to you. Furthermore, I must wait for your reply before returning to the capital.”

Ye Shuo looked at how serious Xu Shiqiu was speaking, which also made Xu Shiqiu, who had originally planned to look at the letter again, become curious about the letter his sister had written him.

He took the letter Ye Shuo sent over, and glanced at the envelope first before raising his head to look at Ye Shuo.

When Ye Shuo blinked his eyes strangely, he lowered his head and looked at the letter in his hands once again.

”Since you said that, then I'll read the letter now. After reading it, I'll write a reply to you.” Xu Shiqiu said those words casually because he thought that the letter his sister had written to him was still the same as before, allowing him to be at ease and not care too much about the content of his luck.

However, today, when he opened his sister's letter and only took a glance at it, he suddenly became serious.

Dong Shu had originally wanted to stretch his head out to look, but after seeing Xu Shiqiu's serious expression, she immediately stopped. Not only did she not stretch his head out to look again, she even called for a servant to change a cup of hot tea for Xu Shiqiu, leaving him to read the letter later.

Dong Shu's movements were smooth and natural, with one glance, one could tell that this was not the first time she had taken care of Xu Shiqiu silently.

But Xu Shiqiu, who was reading the letter, did not look very good.

Xu Shiqiu read very slowly this time. A three page letter, he thought over and over again. After carefully pondering about it three times, he finally refolded the letter and carefully put it back in the envelope.

Old Madame Xu and Dong Shu could be considered people who understood Xu Shiqiu, upon seeing Xu Shiqiu's actions, they knew that he did not plan on telling the contents of the letter to anyone else.

Seeing Xu Shiqiu doing such a thing, Dong Shu was not curious, but Old Madame Xu was very curious.

Her daughter wrote to her, as always, about her health, and about her recent condition, which was no different from before.

However, she was now certain that the letter her daughter had written to her brother was definitely not ordinary.

”Shiqiu, did your sister say something that made things difficult for you?” After the Old Madame Xu finished testing Xu Shiqiu, and seeing that his expression did not change, she continued: ”If your sister says anything that makes things difficult for you, if you think it's okay, tell Mother and Mother. Mother will think of a way for you.”

Old Madame Xu looked at Xu Shiqiu who had just finished speaking, and Xu Shiqiu shook his head while looking at her: ”This matter, mother cannot help me. Mother, you don't have to worry, I can take care of it. ”

After he finished speaking to the Old Madame Xu, Xu Shiqiu looked up and glanced at Ye Shuo, and asked: ”Does your father know about the letter your mother wrote to me?”

”I know!” It's not like you don't know Third Uncle, every single day, other than going out, my father would always stay at my mother's side as long as he stays in the mansion. ” ”When Mother handed these two letters to me, I took them from father. Father also repeatedly reminded me that I must personally deliver this letter into Third Uncle's hands.”

Ye Shuo felt sick of thinking about how his father could not leave his mother's side every day.

His elder brother had said long ago that in the eyes of his father, only his mother was important.

Since his younger brother's health was not good, his father's attitude towards him might even be better.

However, it was fine for the two of them to not stay by his mother's side. However, if they unknowingly ran to his mother's side, then in his father's eyes, they would definitely be a hindrance!

The expression on Ye Shuo's face was just too easy to understand. Seeing him reveal such an expression, Xu Shiqiu finally let him go.

”Shiqiu, is there anything major in the letter your sister wrote to you?” When Old Madame Xu heard Ye Shuo say that her father would personally make him deliver the letter into her son's hands, she already noticed that this letter that his daughter gave to her son was definitely not simple.

But at the same time, she had also long thought that from Xu Shiqiu's expression just now, he wouldn't tell her.

”Mother, there is really no need for you to worry about this matter. I will carefully think about the reply to elder sister.”

After Xu Shiqiu rejected Old Madame Xu's question as expected, he looked at Ye Shuo and said: ”Shuo'er, your mother's letter, Third Uncle has to think carefully about how to reply to it. It just so happens that you can stay here for a few more days to rest.”

”Alright, I'll listen to Third Uncle.” Ye Shuo seemed to not be surprised at all by Xu Shiqiu's reaction. After he finished speaking, he chuckled and looked towards Dong Shu: ”Third Aunt, I heard my cousin say that your food was especially delicious. How about I and my cousin go over to your place for lunch tomorrow?”

”Of course, I can. I can't cook much, but there are still some good dishes, and your uncle likes them too.” Dong Shu's face carried a sincere smile, and after seeing that Ye Shuo had finished saying these words, he hurriedly asked: ”What do you like to eat, Third Aunt will go back to the kitchen to make a note of, and buy it tomorrow morning to send to Shihuan Courtyard.”

”I like meat. As long as it's meat, I like it!” Ye Shuo's eyes sparkled as he watched his third aunt finish her sentence. Seeing how Third Uncle was staring at him with an unsightly expression, he hurriedly added, ”Third aunt's cooking skills are so good, she must be delicious no matter what!”

”Not as good as you say.” Although Dong Shu was blushing a little when she heard him, her beautiful crescent eyes were shockingly bright because of her praise.

Xu Shiqiu was originally very unhappy, but after seeing Young Girl's bright eyes and the joy on his face that was not hidden at all, he suppressed his unhappiness.

Since Young Girl was willing, he would endure for a while.

But now, he seemed to understand his brother-in-law's feelings somewhat.

Seeing that Young Girl had arranged with his nephew and niece to eat tomorrow at noon, Xu Shiqiu immediately brought Dong Shu back to the Shihuan Courtyard.

Once he returned to the Shihuan Courtyard, Xu Shiqiu immediately hugged Dong Shu and asked: ”My wife, do you want to go live in the capital?” After asking that question, Xu Shiqiu seemed to be somewhat regretful, and said anxiously: ”Look at me, why are you bringing it up again?” After saying that, Xu Shiqiu wanted to quickly change the topic, but something was wrong, as it still caught Dong Shu's attention.
