Thinking up to here, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at Empress Hu and said, ”I wonder when will the Empress return to the palace? If you are not anxious, why don't you have Shu'er accompany you for a while. This subject will bring a junior back to the manor to pay my respects to you. ”

When Xu Shiqiu said this, Empress Hu guessed who he was referring to.

”He's at your house?” The Empress Hu looked at Xu Shiqiu excitedly. After saying that, she thought for a while and then said angrily, ”Since he is in the capital, why wait for the new Emperor to ascend the throne? He is truly unfilial! ”

She's just a nice young lad, it's nothing to stay at my wife's Third Uncle's home.

She didn't believe that since he was able to escape that year, he hadn't bought a small house in the capital after so many years.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu both didn't expect that Empress Hu would actually turn her back on their grandson again. After the two of them looked at each other, Xu Shiqiu then said, ”Let Shu'er accompany the Empress and talk about some of his matters. This subject will be back to bring him over right now.”

The two courtyards were very close, and if he were to return now, he would definitely be able to bring Yan Ye here in less than half an hour.

Although the Empress Hu was excited, she wanted to hear more about Yan Ye.

As for Dong Shu, after Xu Shiqiu left, he was led into the house by the Empress Hu.

The moment they entered the room, Dong Shu hurriedly apologized, ”I hope Empress doesn't blame Shu'er for hiding it from you for so long. It's simply because Yan Ye's identity is too sensitive, and he's not willing to reveal his identity, so …”

Before Dong Shu could finish, Empress Hu raised his hand and interrupted her.

”I know Yan'er's character, it's just like how he recognized your family's Yanzhu, as long as it's something he knows, no matter how others try to persuade him, it would all be useless.” Empress Hu was very familiar with her grandson's character, and wasn't angry because of Dong Shu's deception.

This was also because of the many things that the Empress Hu had experienced. If it were a few years ago, she might not be this calm.

However, ever since she almost died last year, many things had become clear to her.

The throne seemed supreme, but if one really sat there, it was very easy to end up as a solitary person.

Especially the character of her grandson, Ye Yan. If he ascended to the throne and the court officials asked him to marry Consort Ye, he would be able to marry off all of those ministers' women. Moreover, it definitely wouldn't be a good marriage.

On the other hand, the fifth brother was already old enough and had pretty good experience. He was also husband and wife who had experienced many years of tribulations together with Xu Nuanwen.

As long as Xu Nuanwen wasn't a fool, she definitely wouldn't do the thing of taking in many concubines and entering the harem.

Of course, the Empress Hu knew, the court officials would definitely raise the matter, but Ye Jingxing would definitely be able to resolve the matter well.

Seeing that the Empress Hu did not blame him, Dong Shu took the initiative to tell him about Xu Yanzhu and Yan Ye.

When she heard that Xu Yanzhu had been married to Jiang Han for almost a year and that her grandson had ended her marriage and got Xu Yanzhu pregnant once, even the Empress Hu had experienced a lot of things, and she looked a little embarrassed.

”These two children are too careless.”

Empress Hu didn't say anything else. She had long known that her grandson was right.

So it was not surprising that he had always liked Xu Yanzhu.

He just didn't think that the two of them would actually do such an imprudent thing.

Fortunately, Jiang Han was still Xu Yanzhu's cousin and had a layer of kinship with him. Otherwise, if it were another person's family, they would not care about the reputation of your Xu Family, and would definitely cause a ruckus.

Seeing that Empress Hu had only said that the two children were not careful and did not look down on Yanzhu who did not know shame, Dong Shu was half relieved.

Thinking about it, as long as Yanzhu and Yan Ye could live a peaceful life, then the other half of her heart would be at ease.

Although Dong Shu was not as well-informed as Xu Shiqiu about the matter of her eldest grandson, she still told her about how they met Yan Ye on the way back when they were in the capital.

Just as Dong Shu was talking about the relationship between Yan Ye and his family, she arrived with Yan Ye.

Yan Ye originally did not want to come, but Xu Shiqiu said it out loud, since the Empress Hu already knew that he was still alive, then he could not continue to hide like this.

Although Yan Ye felt that his own grandmother had cheated Third Uncle and Third Aunt in the beginning, he knew that what Third Uncle said made sense.

However, now that they were in the courtyard, he suddenly felt a little scared.

”Third Uncle, did you tell Grandmother about my disfigurement?”

Yan Ye suddenly opened his mouth, causing Xu Shiqiu to be startled, but he quickly reacted and looked at him: We are all people who want to be fathers, what is the point of caring so much? In this world, as long as Yanzhu does not mind your looks, the other elders will only pity the pain you had endured all those years ago. ”

The moment Xu Shiqiu finished speaking, Empress Hu, who had heard the commotion in the house, immediately stood up and rushed to the door, seeing Yan Ye standing in the courtyard beside Xu Shiqiu.

Seeing her eldest grandson wearing a mask, how could Empress Hu not understand what was going on on on his face?

Immediately, a hint of pain crawled onto Empress Hu's face. This time, Empress Hu, who was usually the strongest, was only an old woman who longed to see her grandson.
