Dong Shu was the closest to Ye Xuan. Seeing him just reveal such an expression, Dong Shu took the initiative to hold his hand and comforted him: ”Before, Xuan Ge'er's body wasn't well because of how young she is, but now, it's getting older and older.

While Dong Shu was speaking, she saw Ye Xuan looking at him with both nervousness and anticipation, and immediately continued: ”Xuan Ge'er wants to believe Third Aunt, Third Aunt will not lie to you.”

If it was anyone else, Dong Shu might not have taken the initiative to say these words, but when she saw Ye Xuan today, she felt that she liked him.

Such a obedient child. Thinking about how he had been dragged down by her body and could not do many interesting things, Dong Shu felt her heart ache for him.

Regarding what Dong Shu had just said, if it was someone else who said it, Ye Xuan would definitely not believe it.

But for some reason, when he looked at his third aunt's serious expression, a bold idea popped into his mind.

What Third Aunt said might be true.

Because he kept hinting at himself in his heart, under Dong Shu's attentive gaze, Ye Xuan's face quickly turned red.

”Xuan Ge'er trusts Third Aunt.” After saying this, Ye Xuan awkwardly looked up at Dong Shu, and continued, ”Xuan Ge'er likes Third Aunt.”

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, everyone in the hall laughed.

When Xu Nuanwen gave a few more words of advice to Ye Xuan, it was already time for lunch.

From the moment the servants started serving the dishes, Dong Shu became a little nervous, afraid that the specially prepared food, Aunt Sister, her brother-in-law and her three nephews, would be dissatisfied.

As for Xu Yanzhu, they had eaten so many meals together before that Dong Shu knew very well what she liked to eat.

Fortunately, Dong Shu's hard work was not in vain. Not only Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing, but even Ye Xuan had eaten more than usual.

Seeing that Ye Xuan had eaten a lot, both Xu Nuanwen and Ye Jingxing were extremely happy.

Due to the condition of Ye Xuan's body, he couldn't eat too much today. Xu Nuanwen even asked Dong Shu for the menu, preparing to go back to her house and have the kitchen cook cook cook it regularly.

”Give me the menu for all these dishes, especially this dish. It's rare to see the three brothers liking the same dish at the same time.” Especially Xuan Ge'er, he could not eat too many cold dishes at once. ”After I return home, I can ask the chef to cook a little less every three days. This is perfect for satisfying my craving, and it won't be too frequent.”

As her mother, Xu Nuanwen was naturally very meticulous.

Especially regarding Ye Xuan who was the most unwell, Xu Nuanwen had spent quite a lot of effort to do so.

Dong Shu naturally would not disagree. Not only did she actively give out the menu, Dong Shu even made others write out a few lines on the menu to send over.

”I came up with these when I had nothing to do at Xiahe Village. The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and every time I cook a plate, I eat it along with other meat dishes. I do need to be able to eat a little more.”

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu, who was sitting at the other side, spoke up: ”I also really like the small side dishes Third Aunt makes. Previously, when I was still at Xiahe Village, I had to go and get food everyday.”

Speaking of the matter regarding Xiahe Village, Xu Yanzhu was also interested.

When she thought about how she had to freeload every day, only to end up with a bad expression on Third Uncle's face, Xu Yanzhu couldn't help but take a glance at Xu Shiqiu.

Xu Nuanwen was very smart, she only needed a glance to guess what had happened before.

Looking at her exhausted mother, Xu Nuanwen thought that since her son had been out for such a long time, she should head back to rest. As well as her husband and eldest son, they must still be busy, so Xu Nuanwen looked towards Old Madame Xu and said her goodbyes.

”Mom, I'll be going back first. I'll come see you after I get the news.”

Xu Nuanwen wasn't reluctant to leave today at all. After all, the two houses were extremely close, and if she wanted to come, she could just come over.

Even if she had matters to attend to at home, she would be able to handle them when she returned with the carriage.

The old lady understood this logic too, so when she heard Xu Nuanwen's words, she did not feel reluctant to part with him.

However, even though Xu Nuanwen wanted to bring her entire family away, Ye Shuo refused to leave.

”Mother, please allow me to stay.” I haven't seen Third Uncle for a long time, and I especially want to talk with him for a bit. ”

The moment Ye Shuo opened his mouth, Ye Huan knew that he would definitely be able to stay.

After all, their mufei liked it the most when they called her 'mother'. As long as they called her 'mother' in a spoiled manner, she would definitely agree.

Xu Nuanwen did not think too much and agreed to stay behind. After all, Ye Shuo was not like his brother who wanted to go back and work with Ye Jingxing, and he did not want Ye Xuan to rest either.

Furthermore, she could sense that Ye Shuo was secretly helping his brother out.

Thus, when Ye Shuo asked this question, he did not think too much and immediately agreed.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu sat on the side without uttering a word when Ye Shuo had spoken. It was only when they saw Ye Jingxing and Xu Nuanwen off did and Ye Huan and Ye Xuan both look towards Ye Shuo.

Ye Shuo felt that Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu were looking at him, so he looked at them with a flattering look on his face: ”Third Uncle, Third Aunt, why don't you two take a look, shall we talk here?”

The moment Ye Shuo opened his mouth, the Old Madame Xu turned to the servants beside him and said, ”Help me to rest, just leave this place to the few of them.” Saying that, Old Madame Xu looked towards Xu Yanzhu.

Receiving Old Madame Xu's hints, Xu Yanzhu hurriedly got up and said to Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu: ”Third Uncle, Third Aunt, I will first go to rest for Grandmother, and then come back later.” After saying that, Xu Yanzhu took the initiative to walk towards the Old Madame Xu.

”Alright, go and wait on your grandmother first.” Xu Shiqiu immediately stood up, and after he saw Xu Yanzhu's silhouette finish speaking, he looked at the Old Madame Xu and saluted: ”Mother, please rest first. If there's anything, wait for Mother to wake up before I inform you.”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, the Old Madame Xu did not speak anymore, but nodded directly and left.

When the Old Madame Xu and Xu Yanzhu left together, Ye Shuo immediately leaned towards Xu Shiqiu and said: ”Third Uncle, I followed your instructions and bought a lot of the capital's silkpants.”

Ye Shuo was originally a grandson who pretended to be a popinjay. Although he was a bastard, he was raised in front of the Fifth Prince's Concubine.

Thus, although his status was not the highest among all the royal grandchildren, it was not low either.

These few months, with the support of Xu Shiqiu's silver coins and his few words of advice, his position among the capital's little popinjays had grown higher and higher.
