Dong Shu looked at Yuanxi and felt her heart ache. She quickly walked forward and just as she was about to extend her hand to Yuanxi, Yuanxi's entire body jumped into her embrace.

After she hugged Yuanxi tightly, Yuanxi rested her head on her chest. Although he did not continue crying, her pitiful look from her still made Dong Shu's heart ache.

”Yuanxi, be good. In the future, Mother will definitely bring you out.” Dong Shu patted her back in pain. Although she knew that Yuanxi could not understand her words, she still promised him.

Old Madame Xu saw that Dong Shu had promised Yuanxi, and a smile appeared on her face, but her eyes revealed helplessness.

”Although Yuanxi is still young, she is definitely a clever one.” After saying that, Old Madame Xu glanced at Yuanxi who was in Dong Shu's embrace, and continued: ”It's almost winter, wait until next spring when Yuanxi is at the age of one, at that time, I will bring her out to play.”

Raising a child was not easy, especially for a child who was not even one year old. It was very easy to die.

Of the four children raised by the Old Madame Xu, although Xu Shiqiu had made it easy for the people around his to be unlucky, she had still raised them up healthy and healthy.

As for the grandchildren, they were also raised well. In the entire family, other than the youngest great-grandchildren, only Yuanxi, the granddaughter, was not even a year old.

Dong Shu also knew that what his mother-in-law said was reasonable. Previously, she had always been staying at the Xiahe Village, even though it wasn't Jiangnan, but it was much warmer than in the capital.

She wondered if she would get used to spending her first winter in the capital.

If it was really too cold, she really couldn't casually bring Yuanxi out.

Presumably, this was the reason why his mother-in-law would say such words.

After Dong Shu understood this point, she nodded to Old Madame Xu and said, ”Mother is right. This winter, we will bring Yuanxi to our house and wait until spring of next year to bring him out.” Saying that, Dong Shu thought for a moment before continuing, ”If Yuanxi really wants to go out, we can also take her to elder sister's house to play twice.”

The Old Madame Xu did not refute what Dong Shu said. Her daughter's home was in the capital, so if they were to go there by carriage, it would be easy for them to take Yuanxi out to play.

When she thought about the rumors, the Old Madame Xu did not immediately agree to this. She thought that if there were no more rumors of His Majesty abdicating from the throne in the capital, she would bring her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to play at her daughter's house.

Dong Shu didn't know what Old Madame Xu was thinking, but she didn't think that her mother-in-law wouldn't agree to her request. After thinking for a moment, Dong Shu carried Yuanxi and walked in while hinting to the servant woman by Old Madame Xu's side to help her enter.

Walking on the road, Dong Shu finally spoke about Xu Shiqiu's return to the capital.

”I came to the Top Scorer and waited for Hubby after a while. Hubby was riding on his horse with Yanhao, Brother Shuo and the other two riding behind him. I didn't pay much attention to them since they were probably his soldiers.” Dong Shu thought back to what she saw just now, and her ears burned, she said: ”I saw that my master is much thinner, but he was extremely spirited, even Yanhao, Shuo Ge'er and the others look like master, extremely spirited.”

When the Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's words, she immediately laughed: ”Yanhao and Shuo'er are really not bad, I think it was a great merit to follow them out this time.” Old Madame Xu had been the wife of the country's general for so many years, and was very familiar with these things. After all, with Xu Shiqiu here, no one dared to casually snatch credit for it.

Furthermore, the Old Madame Xu also believed that under Xu Shiqiu's command, even if they did, no one would dare to take Xu Yanhao's and Ye Shuo's contribution.

After Dong Shu heard what the Old Madame Xu said, she also had a smile on her face. Thinking about how her husband would probably be back soon, she thought for a bit and then told him about Jiang Han finding her.

Since Old Madame Xu was not Dong Shu, she could guess what happened to Jiang Han the moment she heard Dong Shu's words.

Otherwise, Jiang Han would definitely not take the initiative to take the first step of seeking peace.

He knew clearly in his heart that once he took the initiative to take this step, the initiative would not be in his hands.

However, Old Madame Xu did not explain this matter to Dong Shu, ”If that's the case, then come back in a while and tell him. Let's see if he has any arrangements.” This matter still required Xu Shiqiu to appear in the end. No matter what request Jiang Han had, it would not be something that women and children like them could solve.

As the two spoke, they also walked to the Main Yard Hall. The moment they sat down, the servants busily went to serve refreshments.

After waiting for his wife and Yuanxi who was in Dong Shu's embrace, Dong Shu started to talk about the two strange people she met today.

”It was a bit far, and I couldn't see their faces clearly either. I met them when we were going there, but I didn't expect to meet them again before we left.” As Dong Shu spoke, her eyebrows knitted together with a puzzled look. After roughly describing the two of them, Dong Shu then continued: ”I don't know if she is an old friend of Xu Family, but I do not know if she is.”

The Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's words, but she could not think of whether her family had two old friends like these.

She looked at Dong Shu and saw that she still did not understand. She then spoke out: ”You don't have to keep thinking about this, just let me know in a while. Those two people are men after all.

What Old Madame Xu said was a normal situation. She felt that those two people probably recognized Dong Shu and thought that she was a woman, which was why they didn't come forward to speak.

In this way, it was likely that these two people weren't really that close to the people in Xu Family.

Dong Shu felt that what her mother-in-law said was reasonable, she nodded, and did not speak anymore.
