After returning home, she wanted to find Xu Yanbo and feel bad, but she also understood that she had indeed neglected Yanbo for the sake of clarifying her relationship with him these past two years.

Furthermore, Yanbo wasn't like his daughter, Yanmo, who loved to cause trouble and act like a spoiled child to him, so he was destined to be ignored in this house.

This was indeed something he had done badly. Otherwise, his mother-in-law would not have reminded him of this.

The most important point that his mother-in-law did not say wrongly was that Yanbo was not an ordinary bastard child, she was the one that married Teng Qinghu, and she was the one who raised him.

He was on good terms with the children that he had given birth to, and he did not have any ambitions. It was true that he could not treat him unfairly.

Compared to Madame Jiang, the reason Old Madame Xu liked Madame Ye more was because although Madame Ye looked down on such a family without any background like Xu Family because she was Prince Duan's eldest daughter, she had always been a smart person. She knew her own identity and knew that choosing one was most advantageous to her.

Although Old Madame Xu didn't know about the change in mood in the courtyard house with the Xu Family, she understood the character of this eldest wife. She didn't think about what she had said before.

Dong Shu was also a little at a loss as to what to do. Previously, when her mother-in-law was lecturing her, she had an important matter to discuss with her mother-in-law, so she heard it clearly outside the door.

If it was anyone else, perhaps they would have just pretended not to hear it, and the matter would have passed.

But Dong Shu's character was too straightforward, even if she heard it, she wouldn't be able to pretend that she did not hear it.

However, she had become smarter, and before Madame Ye left, she did not reveal any of the things she heard.

Old Madame Xu looked up and saw the expression on Dong Shu's face. She felt it was funny, and she couldn't help but to smile.

”I only scolded your eldest sister-in-law a few times. Why are you behaving like this?”

Just as Old Madame Xu finished speaking, Dong Shu looked at her with embarrassment and called her ”Mother”.

Hearing Dong Shu's coquettish voice of 'Mother', Old Madame Xu shook her head in a very good mood. She then looked at her and said, ”Don't think too much about it, your sister-in-law is a smart person, but smart people often do not see through her mistakes. Fortunately, she is someone who can be persuaded by others. Since I am still around, I naturally have to remind her of her wrongdoings. ” After seeing Dong Shu finish speaking, the Old Madame Xu paused for a moment before continuing: ”In the future, if I'm not here anymore, you just need to take her as your sister-in-law. She won't interfere with you, and she probably won't sincerely help you if anything happens to you.”

Dong Shu never thought that her mother-in-law would say these words at this time. Although she didn't know why she would say them at this time, she still listened attentively and kept nodding her head.

Looking at Dong Shu's young face, Old Madame Xu couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

If their Xu Family could not safely pass through this matter at the end of the year, they did not know that with her body, she could still live a few more years after going up and down.

If she really couldn't hold on and left early, with his third son's wife's personality, he didn't know if she would be able to support his family when he wasn't home in the autumn.

Dong Shu did not know of Old Madame Xu's worries, because Yanhao, the concubine, had set a date for their marriage, so she could begin to prepare to go to the main house to congratulate him.

After confirming the date of the engagement, the Xu Family Room released the matter of their family's marriage to Hu Family, and then to Zhang Family.

This caused many middle-class families in the capital to be filled with envy. Especially since Xu Yanhao had followed Xu Shiqiu in the army camp, and had gotten his own official position, he had become an official before his big brother, who was waiting for the imperial examinations.

Thinking about how Xu Yanhao had the bloodline of the Madame Ye, how could these people not guess Xu Yanhao's future.

Only, he didn't expect that such a good son-in-law would be snatched away by Zhang Family.

There were many people who were envious of him, but none of them dared to really do anything.

Dong Shu had accompanied Old Madame Xu to the main hall early in the morning of the twenty-second of the third month. It was just that she did not expect that other than Fifth Prince, the son-in-law of Xu Family, would also come.
