When they first heard the sound of horse hooves, the expressions of the three of them changed. Dong Shu and Mama Yan subconsciously looked at Yan Ye, and then they quickly looked at each other again.

Yan Ye took in the two's actions, and after a moment of hesitation, he looked at the two of them and said: ”Quickly get on the carriage, I'll send you back.” With that said, he used his gaze to urge Dong Shu and Mama Yan to get on the carriage.

Dong Shu and Mama Yan knew that they were in a critical situation, upon hearing Yan Ye's words, they climbed onto the carriage without hesitation.

Just as the two of them climbed onto the carriage and sat down, Yan Ye raised his hand to pat his horse's butt outside the carriage and quickly rushed towards the manor.

Just as the carriage travelled forward for less than a hundred steps, the sounds of horse hooves came closer and closer. Dong Shu and Mama Yan wanted to pull open the curtains on the side and take a look outside, but because the carriage was too fast, they could only barely keep their balance.

On the other hand, Yan Ye who was driving the horse carriage, after hearing the sound of the horse hooves getting closer, split his attention and looked forward.

When he saw the familiar figure approaching from afar, Yan Ye heaved a sigh of relief and said into the carriage: ”They are our own people.”

Inside the horse carriage, Dong Shu and the Mama Yan could hear what Yan Ye said. As Yan Ye gradually stopped the horse carriage, the two of them peeked their heads out of the carriage and looked ahead.

Xu Shiqiu saw a horse carriage stop in place, and a familiar figure wearing a mask sitting on the carriage. Although he was confused why he was here, he was still relieved.

After hearing the Young Girl's familiar voice, the remaining breath left in his throat relaxed.

”Master, why did you come to pick me up?”

Dong Shu happily jumped out of the horse carriage and ran towards Xu Shiqiu's side. Seeing Dong Shu's movements, Xu Shiqiu quickly dismounted and walked over to him.

After hugging Dong Shu, Xu Shiqiu then replied: ”The moment you two left the palace, Brother-in-law immediately sent me a message. I haven't seen you for a few days, but I thought that with your nervousness, I brought a group of people to welcome you. But who would have thought that right after leaving the army camp, my brother-in-law would send me a letter. He said that someone wanted to capture you, so I rushed over here on horseback. ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, Dong Shu's eyes became teary, and he cried: ”Hubby, if Yan Ye had not come in time, you might not even be able to see me.”

Thinking about the killing intent in the black masked man's sword just now, Dong Shu shuddered slightly before continuing, ”Husband, those people are not far behind us. Quickly go and take a look and see if you can find who it is that wants to harm me.”

When Xu Shiqiu received Ye Jingxing's second message, he already knew who had the idea about it, but there were a lot of people here, and Young Girl was extremely frightened. He did not speak, and only glanced at Zhang Ping who was behind him, and signaled him to bring his people to the back to take a look.

”My wife, I'll send you and Mama Yan home first. You haven't been at home for the past few days, so Yuanxi misses you too.”

Just as Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Dong Shu nodded her head obediently. But before she returned home, she did not forget to hold Xu Shiqiu's hand and said again: ”Master, it was Yan Ye who saved me and Mama Yan.”

After hearing Young Girl's words again, Xu Shiqiu could not pretend that he did not hear it. He could only bow his hands in front of his and express his gratitude, ”Many thanks to Young Master Yan for saving me.

After Yan Ye heard these words, he did not say anything more. He nodded his head and signaled Mama Yan to get on the carriage.

Originally, Xu Shiqiu wanted to bring Dong Shu back on horseback, but then he thought that Dong Shu didn't know how to ride horses, so he gave up the idea and brought her and Mama Yan together on the horse carriage.

This time, Xu Shiqiu had brought a group of people with him to protect them. Dong Shu and the Mama Yan finally relaxed.

When Dong Shu returned to the manor and the Old Madame Xu heard that Dong Shu had finally returned, she was overjoyed. She immediately sent someone to prepare hot water and food, but who knew that he would be intercepted and killed on his way back.

”He's really bold, he actually dared to attack my Xu Family people!” The Old Madame Xu coldly spoke out these words, then instructed: ”You go down and prepare food, I don't know if the men Qiuyi brought out will be able to eat at home, if they are to return to the army camp, then catch two pigs and some chickens and ducks, send them to the army camp.”

After Lady Li heard Old Madame Xu's instructions, she replied without hesitation, ”Yes, this servant will go and make the arrangements.”

Old Madame Xu saw that the servant Li Shi Shi had just left, Xu Yanzhu had also received the news and rushed over.

Seeing Xu Yanzhu rushing over with beads of sweat on her forehead, the Old Madame Xu immediately said: ”Don't be anxious, your Third Aunt is fine, you have returned.” The moment Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu's voice sounded from the door.

”Mom, I'm back.”

Dong Shu quickly walked into the hall. When she saw Xu Yanzhu, she immediately smiled at her: ”Yanzhu is also here.”

”Third Aunt, you're finally back.”

As Xu Yanzhu said this, she wanted to walk up to her, but before she could move, Yuanxi's voice rang out from outside the room.

Hearing Yuanxi's voice, Dong Shu didn't care about the dust on her body that had yet to be washed, and immediately walked towards her.
