C200 (2/2)

Every time Dong Shu stopped in his tracks to look at her, she would blink like Dong Shu and stare at him with her crescent eyes, as if she wanted to continue playing on the wolf skin blanket.

”Yuanxi, be good. You've already played for a long time today. Mother will accompany you tomorrow to play on the wolf skin blanket.” Dong Shu did not lie to her just because Yuanxi was young. After she finished speaking, she thought for a while, then continued to speak, ”Tomorrow, Mother will sew a cloth ball for you. Now, you and Mother will go see Grandma together, be good ~”

Yuanxi probably did not understand Dong Shu's words, but after Dong Shu touched her head, Yuanxi had become much more obedient.

When Dong Shu and Yuanxi finally sat down on Main Yard, Xu Shiqiu was back as well.

Recently, Xu Shiqiu had been playing with Yuanxi more than before, so when Yuanxi saw him, he excitedly waved his fat arms and whooped at Xu Shiqiu.

When he returned, he saw his mother, Young Girl and his daughter all waiting for him. Xu Shiqiu was in an extremely good mood, but when he thought about how his mother had specially arranged for him to come here to the Main Yard, Xu Shiqiu guessed that he probably had something to ask him.

Thinking about that, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at Dong Shu and said: ”My wife, leave Yuanxi with me. Go and take a look at the prey I brought back today. It's all because of me bringing people to hunt in our back mountain. Look how we're going to pack them up, do you want to give some to big brother, second brother, and big sister? ”

Hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, how could Dong Shu even care if he intentionally let her go? She could only think about how many prey she had today.

This was the second time since the beginning of autumn that Hubby had brought back his prey. Judging from his tone, there seemed to be quite a few left.

After Dong Shu happily handed Yuanxi over to Xu Shiqiu and left, Xu Shiqiu looked at the Old Madame Xu and asked: ”Mother, did something happen?” With that, Xu Shiqiu's expression became serious.

When the Old Madame Xu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she retracted her gaze from Yuanxi's body first and then looked at him. She then told Xu Shiqiu about the things she had said after he entered the palace today.

The moment Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Xu Shiqiu frowned and looked at sher: ”Empress is hinting at our family?” After Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, he thought for a moment, then continued, ”This matter is really not a small matter.”

To be able to get the Empress Hu to remind Dong Shu to conceive a child at the end of the year, it meant that she wouldn't be able to have a child next year.

The most important thing was that what was going to happen next year would definitely be something even bigger than when the Emperor Ruikang abdicated at the end of the year and the new Emperor ascended the throne.

This way, there was only one possibility …

Seeing Xu Shiqiu's expression, and seeing him grow more and more serious, Old Madame Xu knew that he had the same guess as Xu Shiqiu.

”Shiqiu, do you think this is true?”

Old Madame Xu was a little worried. If that was really the case, could their Xu Family be used to take revenge?

Thinking about it here, Old Madame Xu thought of another matter, ”Empress also reminded us to not go out after a period of time because we need to be careful when we tell Shu'er to go out. Furthermore, I feel that she had hinted at something else as to why she was here to apologize. ” Speaking till here, Old Madame Xu's eyes also revealed a touch of coldness.

”Mom, this is not a small matter. Whether it's true or not, our family must make preparations in advance.” The moment Old Madame Xu's voice fell, Xu Shiqiu saw her opening her mouth, ”Mother, don't worry. Since Empress has already sensed this, it means that he will not be able to accomplish anything.”

Of course, Xu Shiqiu knew what his mother was hinting at, but he didn't feel that there was a need to worry about these things.

Just as he said, since the Empress had already sensed something like this, then Ye Jingche would definitely not be able to accomplish anything.

After hearing Xu Shiqiu finish speaking, the Old Madame Xu was stunned for a moment, but then he let out a sigh of relief.

Thinking about the Dong Shu who had brought these back, the Old Madame Xu once again told Xu Shiqiu about the matter that he had temporarily hidden from her.

”I'll tell her about this tonight. Mother, you don't have to worry.” The moment Xu Shiqiu opened his mouth, he already thought of how he could talk to Dong Shu about this.

Seeing how confident Xu Shiqiu was, the Old Madame Xu did not ask further about this matter.

After Old Madame Xu and Xu Shiqiu finished talking about this, Dong Shu just so happened to have gone to the kitchen to look at the prey that Xu Shiqiu brought back, and she was back.

”Mother, Hubby did bring back quite a lot of prey today. I made the decision to split them into four parts. We left a copy at home and gave it to Big Bro, Second Bro and Big Sis as well. ” Dong Shu was now becoming more and more adept at handling these matters, there was no need for Old Madame Xu to worry about it at all. After saying all that, she asked again: ”Mother, did you tell your husband about today's matters?”

After Old Madame Xu heard Dong Shu's words, she first continuously nodded his head at her, then said: ”You just have to take care of these things. After seeing Dong Shu finish speaking, the Old Madame Xu immediately laughed: ”In the past, at this time, there would also be prey for sale in the city. But because there aren't many things, the price is also high. ”Our family has been spending a lot of time eating these kinds of food in the military camps in the outskirts of the capital.”

When Dong Shu heard the words of the Old Madame Xu, she hurriedly praised her husband a few more times. Afterwards, she said that it was too late today, and only asked the kitchen to stew two wild rabbits, leaving the other prey to be carefully packed tomorrow.

Just like this, Xu Shiqiu watched as his mother's few words brought Young Girl's attention back to his prey. Seeing Young Girl talking about food, his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but reveal a smile.

Regardless of whether or not something will happen to the capital city in a short period of time, he still had to take good care of his wife and daughter at home.

This was his responsibility as a man!
