Because of Wang's Disease's actions, everyone in the room immediately shut their mouths, especially Ye Shuo and Ye Xuan. Although they were very curious, they obediently sat on the side and ate their pastries without making any noise.
Wang's Disease walked in quickly and greeted Old Madame Xu first before saying: ”Old Madame, someone from the palace has arrived.” After saying this, Wang's Disease seemed to recall that he didn't understand what she said just now and he hurriedly added on, ”It's Mama Su from the Empress Palace.”
The nervous crowd immediately turned to look at Old Madame Xu after hearing her words.
Old Madame Xu was also stunned for a moment before regaining her senses. She looked at Wang's Disease and said, ”Bring Mama Su to the main courtyard to rest. I'll go back right now.”
It was definitely impossible to see the Mama Su at the empress's side within the Shihuan Courtyard, so after the Old Madame Xu finished speaking, he stood up and prepared to leave.
Seeing that she was about to leave, the other people also stood up and followed along, even Ye Shuo who was holding onto the plate of 'Little Bunnies', followed along.
Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were a step too slow. After Wang's Disease left quickly, Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu and said, ”Master, what do you think is the meaning behind Empress sending Mama Su here?”
”I'm not sure, but no matter what, I will protect this family.” Now, Xu Shiqiu had the confidence to say these words, even though he wanted to do so, he still needed to work hard.
However, in Dong Shu's heart, when she heard her husband's words, she couldn't help but laugh.
After the two of them quickly followed the few people in front, Xu Yanzhu and Xu Nuanwen who were walking together also noticed them.
Xu Nuanwen stopped in her tracks first, and waited until Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu had walked to the front and back before speaking up. ”What do you think the empress meant by sending people over?”
It was the same question, but because it was Young Girl who asked him and Big Sister this time, Xu Shiqiu's answer was different.
After Xu Nuanwen's question fell, Xu Shiqiu first shot a glance at her, then said: ”Elder sister, what do you think Empress means by this?”
Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Xu Nuanwen did not get angry, and walked beside him for two steps before saying: ”She shouldn't be here to support Madame Hu.”
After Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu remembered that the eldest wife was the Madame Hu Girl, and they had received the invitation for a long time, but there was no reaction at all.
”I also think that it shouldn't be the case. After all, that person is the Empress.” Seeing that Third Uncle had not said a word, Xu Yanzhu opened her mouth to say something. After she said that, she paused before continuing, ”I just heard that because Madame Hu is about to be produced, the Empress has frequently sent people to visit her, and this person is either Mama Su or Mama Hu.
There were many juniors in the Hu Family, but the Madame Hu woman and the empress who married her were even more related.
And her Cousin, amongst all the son-in-law in Madame Hu, was indeed one with a bright future.
As for the two most capable Mama s in the empress palace, they are the empress's wet nurse's daughter, the Mama Su, and the one born next to the Hu Family.
Other than Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu and Xu Nuanwen understood what was happening.
The siblings looked at each other and immediately understood the meaning in each other's eyes.
If the empress really did support the main house, then they'd have to think of another plan.
The two sides of Old Madame Xu who were walking in the front had servants supporting her. Because she was supported by others to walk forward, she was also thinking about this matter.
Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had never sent any messages back to the main house or the second house so she knew about it. He could guess what they meant, he just did not expect the Queen to send people over.
The people from Xu Family were all very nervous, and they had no idea what the empress was thinking.
But when they arrived at the Main Yard and saw the Mama Su beside the empress, they immediately knew that the empress should have no malicious intentions.
”Old Madame has heard that you have been back in the capital for some time. I have long wanted to invite you to the palace to reminisce about old times. But you also know what the situation is with the Empress's body. Until today, when things were better, the Empress sent servants over to quickly pay their respects to the Old Madame.
Not only was Mama Su's attitude good, shshewas also very respectful towards him. Even when she saw Dong Shu, he did not put on any airs.
It has to be said that all the Mama by the empress's side are of the same rank.
In front of the Old Madame Xu and Xu Nuanwen, they did not put on airs because the grade was lower than them, but Xu Yanzhu and Dong Shu did not.
But towards the two of them, the Mama Su's attitude was still very good, and did not look down on them at all.
With this, Old Madame Xu understood that the Queen probably harbored no ill intentions.
”I've troubled you too much, esteemed lady. Thank you for personally making a trip, Mama Su.” The corners of the Old Madame Xu's mouth carried a smile, and after she finished speaking, she continued to speak: ”Indeed, you should enter the palace to pay respects to the Empress, but you are still old after all, and have been back for so many days. ”But the Empress is thinking of something. Tomorrow, even if I have to crawl, I will still have to crawl into the palace to pay my respects to the Empress.”
As soon as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, she smiled and said, ”The Empress will definitely be happy.” After saying this, Mama Su did not mention anything about the Xu Family Room. Instead, she hinted to Old Madame Xu that she would bring Dong Shu to the palace tomorrow.
Dong Shu did not understand Mama Su's hint, so when Mama Su finished speaking, she looked towards her and smiled at her.
Seeing Dong Shu laughing so obediently, the look in Mama Su's eyes softened a bit.
Noticing the change in Mama Su's eyes, Old Madame Xu opened her mouth and said: ”If that's the case, then this old one will bring Madame Dong to the palace early in the morning to pay respects to the Empress.”
Seeing that the Old Madame Xu had agreed, the Mama Su did not linger around, and directly left the Xu Family after receiving the red seal sent by the servant woman.
After Mama Su left, the smile on her face was immediately wiped away. She looked at Xu Nuanwen and Xu Shiqiu and said, ”Tell me, what does the Empress mean by this?”
