When Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu to the Main Yard, Xu Yanzhu had just been consoled by the Old Madame Xu to eat half a bowl of Giant Salamander Silver Ear Gourd porridge. When she saw Dong Shu enter the place with Xu Shiqiu, he immediately used a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
”Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you're here.” After saying that, Xu Yanzhu paused for a moment before continuing, ”I have yet to congratulate Third Uncle on being promoted. I have prepared some gifts, and I don't know if Third Uncle is happy with it or not.”
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu did not speak, and only greeted the Old Madame Xu leisurely, then pulled Dong Shu to the side and sat down.
It was only until they had sat down that Xu Shiqiu finally spoke to Xu Yanzhu in a soft voice: ”You don't have to worry, we are all family here. Just say whatever you have to say, we will always support you.”
Xu Shiqiu had just finished speaking when Xu Yanzhu was stunned for a moment, then she immediately raised his head and looked at Xu Shiqiu with his red eyes, seeing that Third Uncle was looking at his with eyes full of encouragement, Xu Yanzhu suddenly mustered up her courage and said: ”Third Uncle, I heard personally from Jiang Han that someone close to him had instructed my mother-in-law to be drugged, and wanted to send her underground to atone for her sins before the end of the year.” Saying that, Xu Yanzhu seemed to have lost all her strength and slumped back in her chair.
The few people sitting in the hall did not expect that the words that Xu Yanzhu had been holding back for so long, the words that she would only be willing to speak about in front of Xu Shiqiu, was actually this.
Thinking that Jiang Han actually dared to drug Mrs. Jiang, Dong Shu and the rest did not know what to say.
They all knew that the Mrs. Jiang was not Jiang Han's biological mother, but no matter what, the world did not know.
And seeing that Mrs. Jiang had treated Jiang Han well for so many years, then why did Jiang Han drug him?
”After I heard all of this, I was so scared that I didn't dare make a sound. Luckily I had followed my grandfather to train in martial arts when I was young, and knew how to restrain my aura. Otherwise, I might have been discovered by Jiang Han and his trusted aides.” As she spoke, Xu Yanzhu tightly gripped the handkerchief in her hands. She really did not expect that Jiang Han would be such a vicious and merciless person.
”After I was certain that Jiang Han and the others had left, I returned to my courtyard. But when I think about how Jiang Han drugged my mother-in-law, I feel extremely terrified, afraid that one day he will treat me the same way. ”
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, Xu Shiqiu and the rest finally understood why Xu Yanzhu was so afraid.
After all, Xu Yanzhu didn't have much feelings for this mother-in-law. She would be afraid, simply because she was worried that Jiang Han would make a move against her in the future.
It was just that this matter was not something that the people from Xu Family could solve openly.
”Regarding the Jiang Family, it would be inconvenient for us to get involved with outsiders. Moreover, we don't even know if there are any other grudges between Jiang Han and the Mrs. Jiang. If there is any other grudge between the two, and if Mrs. Jiang has attacked Jiang Han before, then you can't blame Jiang Han for taking action now. ” Xu Shiqiu was now the patriarch of a family. Naturally, the few female members of the family could hear his words.
”It's just that Yanzhu being afraid and living in the Jiang Family is not a big deal. Tomorrow morning, we'll ask the Doctor Du to let you see. If Jiang Han really wants to kill you, then Third Uncle has other ways to take care of him. ”
Now that Xu Shiqiu had the position of an official and his own Young Girl was a popular person in front of the empress, it was very easy for him to take care of a business.
even if the Jiang Family has climbed all the way to Third Prince.
Old Madame Xu also felt that Xu Shiqiu's words were reasonable. They did not know much about the Jiang Family, if they were to suddenly intervene, it would definitely lead to gossip.
Even more so, Old Madame Xu had other intentions in her heart. Up till now, her granddaughter was unwilling to interact more with Jiang Han, and was also unwilling to get along with him. If they really went overboard and Jiang Han exposed this matter, the people would only say that it was her Xu Family that was in the wrong.
Seeing Xu Shiqiu's face filled with fatigue, he hurriedly opened his mouth and said: ”You must be tired these past few days, so you should hurry back to rest. Tomorrow morning, I will let you have a look at Yanzhu's pulse.”
With Old Madame Xu's words, this matter could be put to rest for the time being.
After Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu left, Old Madame Xu revealed all of her thoughts to Xu Yanzhu.
After Xu Yanzhu finished listening to Old Madame Xu's explanation, she said anxiously: ”Grandmother, I do not have any intention of hating Third Uncle. Jiang Han might not be that intimate with me, but it's still okay. ”
What Xu Yanzhu had said was the truth. She had married Jiang Han for a long time, and although Jiang Han did not treat her like how Third Uncle treated her, nor did he treat her like how his uncle treated his aunt, he had never given her any face.
In the past two days, she was so afraid of Jiang Han, completely because she did not expect him to be such a person. At the same time, she was worried that there would be a day when Jiang Han would make a move against her.
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, the Old Madame Xu sighed: ”Yanzhu, you should know that Jiang Han would definitely not do such a thing for no reason at all.” After saying that, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing, ”I wonder how your mood has been in the past few days, did Jiang Han sense anything wrong?”
”Probably not.” Upon hearing Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Yanzhu immediately opened her mouth, seeing the Old Madame Xu looking at her with a puzzled expression, she immediately blushed and continued: ”The past two days were the days that I have been unhappy for every month, not to mention that after he finished telling me about this matter, he was busy going to the shop to check on me, and did not come back.”
With Xu Yanzhu's words, even though Old Madame Xu was half relieved, she still kept it to herself.
Xu Yanzhu knew that what she had done this time had made her family worried, so when she saw her grandmother sigh, she said somewhat embarrassedly: ”It's also because I haven't experienced too much, so I got Grandmother, Third Uncle and Third Aunt to worry together with me.”
Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, the Old Madame Xu shook her head and said: ”Don't think too much about it. Since your Third Uncle is filial to me and loves you, your niece, it is only right that he spend some time and effort on you. ”
With Old Madame Xu's words, Xu Yanzhu's heart felt a little better.
On the second day, Doctor Du was first invited to diagnose the safe vein in the Old Madame Xu, and then, to check Xu Yanzhu's pulse according to Old Madame Xu's wishes.
