Dong Shu did not understand the deep meaning behind Xu Nuanwen's words, but looking at the expressions of the other people beside her, she could sense the subtle atmosphere between them.
When she opened her mouth, Dong Shu still took the initiative to look at Xu Nuanwen in the end, and asked: ”What did sister mean by what you said just now?”
With Dong Shu's words, the atmosphere among the few of them returned to normal.
Xu Nuanwen raised her head and looked at Xu Shiqiu. After seeing that her brother did not have any intention to stop him, she then looked at Dong Shu and said: ”Sister-in-law, the Xu Family is now on the same boat as the Fifth Prince Palace. Do you understand?”
”I understand.” Just as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, she nodded to her, ”Hubby has told me about this before.”
Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Nuanwen then continued to look at her, ”The empress has no children now, and there's nothing that can be done with the Hu Family of two generations of men, all they can do is to try their best from the inner chamber.”
After saying this, Xu Nuanwen seemed to let out a cold laugh, and continued to speak, ”The empress marrying her great-granddaughter to brother Qing is the first step, and making good relations with Uncle Prince Duan and the Fifth Prince Palace through the relationship of marriage is the second step.
No matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, Uncle Prince Duan was still the younger brother of the Royal Father. Therefore, marrying Uncle Prince Duan's grandson was very safe. There were a lot of families who were staring at the descendants of Prince Duan, and they didn't want the Royal Father to notice them too much, so they took a step back and chose Brother Qing Er.
And Brother Qing, as the grandson of Prince Duan Uncle, was not only the eldest grandson of his Xu Family, but also the uncle of his Fifth Prince. Now that Madame Hu has discovered that you are pregnant with a man, that is why this time, Hu Family has voluntarily come into contact with the Fifth Prince Palace and revealed the intention of helping your brother-in-law. ”
Dong Shu never thought that there would actually be so many twists and turns in this matter. After she heard Xu Nuanwen finish speaking and blinked her eyes a few times, she finally looked at Xu Nuanwen and asked, ”Then what exactly does Hu Family want to do?”
Right now, the Madame Hu girl is already married into the Xu Family. Once your brother-in-law succeeds in the future, if the next generation of Madame Hu still doesn't have a man who can shoulder the burden of Hu Family, then the Madame Hu girl will definitely use the relationship of marriage to send the woman of Hu Family in front of your nieces. ”
When Xu Nuanwen talked about this, her expression was extremely unpleasant. After all, the Hu Family had wanted to send her daughter to the Fifth Prince Palace.
It was just that her clan's fool only had her, otherwise, Hu Family would have already sent her to Fifth Prince Palace.
Xu Nuanwen did not plan to tell her mother and brother about this matter. Only, when Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu saw Xu Nuanwen's expression, they could guess that her Hu Family had probably done something.
After all, Hu Family liked to have daughters. They liked to marry their daughter who had been taught well to the family that they found useful.
And because there was a current empress in the Hu Family, and because the women in the Hu Family were all very good-looking, the women in the Hu Family accepted the likes of these people.
Old Madame Xu, Xu Shiqiu and the others understood, but Dong Shu did not know about this.
Right now, she was thinking about what Xu Nuanwen had said just now. Thinking about how the Madame Hu that she had yet to meet could do such a thing, her expression became a little ugly.
Seeing that she revealed such an expression, Xu Nuanwen immediately said: ”Sister-in-law, you don't have to think that's strange. In a large clan, there are a lot of these kinds of things. There are many families that seem to enjoy glory on the surface, but in reality, their families rely on their daughter's relationship in the inner chamber to maintain their current status. ”
After saying that, Xu Nuanwen shot a glance at Xu Shiqiu who was beside Dong Shu, and continued to speak while looking at Dong Shu: ”Sister-in-law, let me tell you, in the future if your steward doesn't have any prospects, you should peacefully guard your ancestors as a rich man, and not count on your daughter to marry you, and seek benefits for your family.”
When Xu Nuanwen just finished speaking, Dong Shu looked somewhat nervously at the grandma sitting in the seat of honor. After sensing Dong Shu's gaze, Xu Nuanwen waved her hand and said, ”Sister-in-law, don't worry. After saying this, Xu Nuanwen paused for a moment, and said with a sad expression: ”Actually, father was the one who said these words to me in the beginning.”
Thinking about her father who had passed away, Xu Nuanwen's expression became somewhat sad. As the only daughter of this generation in Xu Family, Xu Nuanwen was doted upon by the Patriarch Elder Xu since her birth.
It was precisely because Old General Xu doted upon Xu Nuanwen that he doted upon her to such an extent.
He had his father protect him before he was married, and later on he had the protection of his husband, Fifth Prince.
Even if her Xu Family was defeated, Fifth Prince still doted on her and protected her.
Currently, although the young son of the family was weak, the eldest and second sons were also protecting and spoiling her. Xu Nuanwen felt that she was too lucky, how could other people have such a blissful life.
However, although someone had always pampered and protected Xu Nuanwen, she knew what to do.
”Daughter's family has always been bitter. For someone like you and me, loving your husband is fine. ”If my husband does not love me, and my mother-in-law and sister-in-law is annoyed by their daughter's family, not only will they have to deal with their parents' affairs, but they will also have to seek benefits for their families. It is truly bitter.”
The moment Xu Nuanwen said that, Dong Shu immediately understood what she meant.
”Sister, don't worry. I understand everything you say.” After saying this, Dong Shu then looked at Xu Nuanwen and continued: ”Since we already know what Hu Family is trying to do, then are we just going to let this go on?”
”Otherwise?” Xu Nuanwen could tell how nervous Dong Shu was, she looked at her and laughed, then continued: ”Since we have stepped into this big dye vat, we need to make some concessions. ”Some benefits, even though you know that others are scheming against you, you still have to let them scheme against you with a smile on your face.”
What Xu Nuanwen had said to Dong Shu today was something that Xu Shiqiu and his group understood a long time ago.
However, Dong Shu had never come into contact with these things before, so these things were simply too shocking for her.
”When one doesn't have the power to stand at the pinnacle of the world, these things are inevitable.” Xu Nuanwen saw that Dong Shu had finished saying those words and that she looked upset, so she smiled: ”But you don't have to worry, I will take care of this family.”
Hearing Xu Nuanwen mentioning Xu Shiqiu, Dong Shu immediately looked at him and smiled shyly.
It was just that Dong Shu did not expect that when she looked at Hubby, Hubby would also look at her at the same time.
Her husband looked at her with eyes full of love and joy, causing her cheeks to feel hot.
