Xu Shiqiu's heart was burning. He had already verified that the Young Girl was not by his side, but with the locust tree imp, his bad luck was being suppressed a little.

Before, when there were no locust wooden figurines, when he met other people, they either fell and broke their legs or broke their hands.

But today, apart from the two servants who had seen him kneel down, all that was left was a cramp and a numbness in his feet. The worst one of them had been knocked against the door frame, making him feel a little dizzy.

However, Xu Shiqiu felt that the person who bumped into the doorframe was very likely to be scared, since the door was right there. It must be because he did not see it clearly that he crashed into it.

After experiencing the various situations from before, the things that happened today, were nothing in Xu Shiqiu's eyes.

When Dong Shu understood what happened just now, she immediately smiled and looked at Xu Shiqiu: ”Then I really congratulate my master for achieving his wish. In the future, when I wipe off the blood of the little person from the locust tree regularly, I will definitely be able to stop half of your bad luck.”

Xu Shiqiu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Dong Shu's words.

It seemed that he was unable to completely suppress his bad luck. After all, the Young Girl said that the locust tree figurine was able to block half of his bad luck and not all of it.

However, this result was very good for Xu Shiqiu, he was already satisfied.

While Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu were speaking, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Yanzhu was listening by the side. After they finished speaking, the two of them took two steps forward.

”Nothing is perfect. It is already very good to be able to do so. Shiqiu, what are you planning to do next? ” Xu Nuanwen saw that Xu Shiqiu had just finished speaking, thought for a while and continued, ”Your brother-in-law will probably come to pick me up later, so you can talk to him.”

After saying these words to Xu Shiqiu, Xu Nuanwen turned his head to look at Xu Yanzhu who was beside him and said: ”I'm going to teach you the rules of entering the palace at Third Aunt. Are you accompanying us, or are you doing something else?”

Xu Yanzhu actually wanted to stay, but when she thought about the Mrs. Jiang's expression when she left this morning, she thought for a moment. In the end, she still said: ”I will return today, and come back after two days.”

After replying to Xu Nuanwen's words, Xu Yanzhu thought for a moment, then looked at Dong Shu and said: ”Third Aunt, I wonder, when would the banquet be held at home? Jiang Han had to go out and inspect the shop in a few days, so he was afraid that it would take at least a month before he could return. He told me that he would come to see Grandmother at the time of the banquet. ”

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu was in a difficult situation and did not know how to reply.

His family did indeed have plans to entertain guests, and he had previously planned to spend the time for the banquet after Xu Shiqiu had seen Master Xuan Ling.

Only, he did not expect that not long after he had met the Master Xuan Ling, he had found a way to suppress Xu Shiqiu's bad luck.

Compared to the banquet guests, it was naturally more important to help Xu Shiqiu suppress his bad luck.

Logically speaking, they should be having a banquet today, but tomorrow they had to go to the palace to see the empress. After seeing the empress, they wondered if there would be any problems.

The empress's birthday was coming up. Everyone in the capital would probably be very busy during that time.

Seeing Dong Shu's troubled expression, Xu Yanzhu had thought that she had something hard to say. Just as she was about to ask, who knew that Dong Shu would come back to her senses and tell her the worries in her heart.

”So I'm not sure about the exact time. How about I ask my mother tonight, and she'll be entering the palace tomorrow. Even if we're going to have a banquet, it'll probably have to wait until we're done with the empress.”

Just as Dong Shu finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu nodded and said: ”That's the principle. When I return today, I will ask Jiang Han when he will leave.” After saying this, Xu Yanzhu paused for a moment before continuing, ”If it really doesn't work, then it's fine to hold a small family banquet. I keep having the feeling that Jiang Han would not have such a request for no reason.”

Xu Yanzhu kept having the feeling that Jiang Han had some ulterior motives.

However, although she guessed that Jiang Han had other intentions in coming to see her grandmother, she felt that Jiang Han's method of doing so was correct.

It was because she understood this that she did not object to Jiang Han coming to visit her grandmother.

Right after Xu Yanzhu finished speaking, Xu Nuanwen and Xu Shiqiu immediately looked at each other, then Xu Shiqiu spoke out: ”I'll ask Mother about this tonight, I'll let you know after I get to the bottom of it.”

After Xu Shiqiu finished, he nodded and said his goodbyes.

Seeing that she was about to leave, Dong Shu immediately called for Ling Xiang, telling her to dress up the dim sum she had brought the servants to make for him.

”I've brought all the servants and women to make these. Bring them back and have a taste. I think it's not bad.” Previously, Dong Shu did not know how to make snacks, but she did know some steamed buns.

After arriving at the capital, she had interacted a lot with the chef at home. Only then did she have the chance to learn how to make pastries.

This time around, the cooking of 'Little Pig' and 'Little Rabbit' was done after the servants mentioned it. She was especially interested in learning and then combined all the buns she knew into one.

Unexpectedly, after specially concocting the jujube sauce and lotus flower, it was wrapped in noodles and steamed out. It was quite tasty.

As for its appearance, it was naturally designed by the kitchen maid. Dong Shu also felt that after making it look like this, it would taste good.

Xu Yanzhu was well aware of Third Aunt's character. Seeing that she was going to give him refreshments, and that she was such a cute ”little pig” and ”little rabbit”, not only did she not feel awkward, she even reached out his hands to receive them happily.

Seeing that his cousin just took away all these 'Little Pig' and 'Little Bunnies', Ye Xuan who was with Ye Shuo immediately pulled his second brother's hand sadly.

After Ye Shuo sensed Ye Xuan's movements, he helplessly twitched his mouth and whispered into his ear. ”Don't worry Xuan Ge'er, when we leave later, Second Brother will definitely give you a lot of 'Little Pig' and 'Little Rabbit'.”
