Xu Yanzhu's intuition was not accurate, there was no way to verify this matter right now.

However, because she found out about this news today, on the second day, when Consort Xu Nuanwen of the Fifth Prince sent someone to take Xu Yanzhu to the Fifth Prince's residence to relax, and asked her if she needed any help, Xu Yanzhu took the initiative to inform Xu Nuanwen of this matter.

"Aunt, I just came to the capital, so I don't know much about Jiang Family. This time, I only brought one Cui Hua which I can use." Xu Yanzhu looked at Xu Nuanwen and spoke. After saying that, he thought for a while before continuing, "I want to ask Aunt to borrow two people to help me gain a foothold in Jiang Family."

Xu Nuanwen looked very much like the Old Madame Xu, but she was much more exquisite than the Old Madame Xu and her eyebrows were the same as Xu Shiqiu's.

Although she couldn't leave the capital for so many years, she was doted on by the Fifth Prince, so she looked just like Xu Yanzhu's sister.

Hearing Xu Yanzhu's words, she first pursed her lips, and then said: "Even if you didn't say it, Aunt would have arranged two helpers for you." Saying that, Xu Nuanwen looked down and two servants in their thirties walked out.

"The peony and the crabapple are from the Consort De's palace. They are both female officials of high rank." Xu Nuanwen did not lie to Xu Yanzhu. After seeing the astonishment in the depths of Xu Yanzhu's eyes, she continued to say with a smile. "You don't have to worry.

As soon as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Peony and Begonia immediately bowed towards her and Xu Yanzhu. They did not take Xu Yanzhu seriously at all, acting arrogantly and not putting him in their eyes, just because they came from the Consort De Empress' side.

Looking at the peony and crabapple that went in and out, Xu Yanzhu couldn't really say that he didn't want them.

In the end, Xu Yanzhu could only nod towards the two of them, and then call Cui Hua to bring the two of them to the side to familiarize themselves with her affairs.

After Peony and Begonia left, Xu Yanzhu couldn't wait to look at Xu Nuanwen, wanting to know why her aunt made such arrangements.

"Are you curious about why your aunt arranged it?" Xu Nuanwen was well aware of Xu Yanzhu's intentions, and immediately asked before she could even open her mouth.

"Yes, I don't understand why aunt gave them to me." After Xu Yanzhu said this, she thought for a moment before continuing, "Could it be that Aunt was also forced to do this?"

"No, my aunt specifically went to the palace to beg for you." The moment Xu Nuanwen opened her mouth, Xu Yanzhu was immediately shocked to the point that her eyes were wide open.

Seeing the shock on Xu Yanzhu's face, Xu Nuanwen sighed before continuing, "Yanzhu, our Xu Family is not the same as it used to be, but we're actually using it to get the imperial concubine.

Currently, in the palace, only the Consort De was barely a match for the Imperial Concubine. The Empress of the other palace palaces did not dare to directly oppose the Imperial Concubine.

Even though Aunt is the Consort of the Fifth Prince, she is still a junior and cannot help you directly. That's why she entered the palace and asked the Consort De to choose two female officials from her palace to help you.

With them here, even if it's Jiang Family, you have to take into consideration the Divine Consort De behind them, so you definitely won't dare to directly make things difficult for you. "

After saying that, Xu Nuanwen saw that Xu Yanzhu was still somewhat unwilling, so she pointed at her head and continued: "Foolish child, if you accept these two, it means that your Xu Family is still supporting your uncle. Your imperial concubine will only think that the Consort De values you.

Don't be angry either. Your grandmother has already explained to me in a letter that if Xu Family were to be involved in these matters, it would only support your uncle and not anyone else. Even though your grandmother didn't say what you were going to do in the capital, your aunt could guess.

With the peony and begonias, Consort De will also be at ease with Xu Family. After you get married, Aunt will bring you to the palace and you will be the one to negotiate conditions with Consort De on behalf of Xu Family. Others might not know what happened that year, but the Consort De definitely had evidence.

Although your Xu Family is different from before, when next year's ten years comes, your uncle will become an official in the capital, and your Cousin will already be married to him. Even if your Third Uncle is not willing to return to the capital, your Xu Family will also slowly grow.

The Consort De understood all of this, which was why she was willing to arrange two of her most trusted aides to help you. Your aunt arranged for you to protect them. If you have your own matters to attend to, you can leave it to your trusted aides.

As for my aunt, she had long since known that you were going to marry into Jiang Family, so she arranged for a few people to be bought off at Jiang Family.

Only after Xu Nuanwen finished speaking did Xu Yanzhu understand the arrangements her aunt had made.

As she thought about her aunt's secret arrangements, Xu Yanzhu emotionally looked at Xu Nuanwen and said, "Grandmother was indeed right, my aunt really dotes on me." Saying that, Xu Yanzhu carefully kept the list that Xu Nuanwen had sent over, preparing to go back later on, after which she also put the list away, and leaned her head on Xu Nuanwen's shoulder.

"Silly child, you are my aunt's flesh and blood kin. How could my aunt not love you?" When he thought about how she had put up with his second brother, Second Sister-in-law, like his parents, he couldn't help but sigh. "Yanzhu, no matter how much Aunt has done, the following matter still depends on you.

As for what happened that year, you don't have to be so anxious. After you get married, your aunt will bring you to the palace to meet the Consort De Empress and you can explain her attitude towards the Xu Family. The Consort De Empress can't bear to help you with this help, so she will definitely help you. "

After saying all that, Xu Yanzhu made it clear that she would make good use of the two female officials the Consort De Empress gave him.

"On the day of your wedding, Ye Huan and Ye Shuo will come to give you your wedding. I believe that with the two brothers here, Jiang Family will have some scruples, and won't dare to make things too difficult for you."

Just as Xu Nuanwen finished speaking, Xu Yanzhu looked at her happily: "Then I'll have to thank Aunt. With my two cousins here, no one will dare make things difficult for me."

After hearing what Xu Yanzhu said, Xu Nuanwen was still worried, so she asked her about her dowry in detail.

When she found out that Xu Yanzhu's dowry was brought over from the Xiahe Village and was under the watch of Xu Shiqiu's people, Xu Nuanwen finally relaxed.

"As for Jiang Han, I will send people to investigate. Before we get to the bottom of this, you better remember not to act rashly."

"Aunt, don't worry. I'll be careful." Xu Yanzhu promised her after she looked at her seriously.

Seeing that Xu Yanzhu understood, Xu Nuanwen did not continue speaking.

Xu Yanzhu was touched by the things Xu Nuanwen had done for him, so she naturally brought up this matter in a letter to Xu Shiqiu and Old Madame Xu.

Half a month later, when Xiahe Village received a few letters from Xu Yanzhu, Xu Shiqiu read the letters for a long while before letting out a sigh.

"Master, what difficult things did Yanzhu say in her letter to you?" Dong Shu held her stomach and stared at Xu Shiqiu for a long time, until Xu Shiqiu came back to reality, only then did she ask.

After hearing Dong Shu's question, Xu Shiqiu instantly regained his senses. After looking at her and laughing for a while, he then said: "Yanzhu said about some matters with big sister, and that the pomegranate was finally finished. She really misses the taste of the pomegranate."

Although Dong Shu was not smart, she was not stupid. She could tell that his husband had lied to her, but her brain was unable to think of what. So when Xu Shiqiu stared at her, she thought for a moment, but in the end he did not speak.

Xu Shiqiu could also guess that he had something on his mind, but he was unable to think of a good way to deal with this matter, so he did not ask further.

"Master, today is the day Yanzhu gets married, right?" Dong Shu was afraid that she remembered wrongly, so after she looked at Xu Shiqiu to confirm it, she continued: "I wonder what Yanzhu is doing right now, and if she misses us, whether Jiang Family is making things difficult for her."

Hearing Dong Shu's words, Xu Shiqiu hurriedly looked at her and shook his head: "Didn't Yanzhu say in the letter? Sister arranged for Huan'er and Shuo'er to send Yanzhu his wife. With the two brothers here, who would dare to make things difficult for Yanzhu? "

Ye Huan was the first son of the Fifth Prince after all, and Ye Shuo was also a famous playboy in the imperial family. The most important thing was that Ye Shuo's personality pleased His Majesty, who had praised 'the fifth brother's personality in front of others more than once, is pretty good.' Ye Huan was definitely the eldest son of the Fifth Prince's first son, and Ye Shuo was a famous playboy in the imperial family.

When he thought about this, Xu Shiqiu also rejoiced that he understood that there was no intention to fight with his big brother. Otherwise, just because of what His Majesty had said, even Brother-in-law's family would not be at peace.

Dong Shu did not understand so much, but after hearing what Xu Shiqiu said, she immediately opened her eyes wide: "I have never seen Huan'er before, but with Shuo'er's personality, with him here, I think Yanzhu will be happier."

A few days ago, Shuo'er wrote me a letter, saying that she would teach Jiang Han a lesson on the day of his wedding. Although I wrote a letter to tell him to restrain himself a bit, he probably won't be so easy to listen to, not to mention that he even dragged his big brother along with him. "

Dong Shu was right, she was very happy that Xu Yanzhu was going to marry her.

Xu Shiqiu did not guess wrong. Today, Ye Shuo did not listen to him, but under Ye Huan's persuasion, he still restrained himself a little.

Early in the morning, Ye Huan and Ye Shuo rode their horses to the Xu Family, ignoring the Madame Jiang, they directly went to Xu Yanzhu's wedding courtyard in the backyard, and guarded the courtyard entrance.

"Cousin sister Yanzhu, don't worry. With me and my big brother here, waiting for Jiang Han to come, we'll definitely make things difficult for him. Let him know that a lady of Xu Family isn't that easy to marry." After saying that, Ye Shuo shot a glance at the brothers Xu Yanwei and Xu Yanlang who were standing to the side, and said with a disdainful expression: "Cousin sister Yanzhu, if your two brothers don't help you support in the future, you should look for me and Big Brother.

Hearing Ye Shuo's words, Xu Yanzhu, who had already finished dressing up, could not help but laugh bitterly, but she knew that Ye Shuo had good intentions.

Not only were the two of them there, there were also a few descendants of officials who had good relations with Ye Shuo at the front gate.

Madame Jiang wanted to ask them to rest at the side, but they insisted: "Ye Shuo's cousin is our cousin. When our cousin gets married today, we will definitely block their way.

"That's right, we were called over by Ye Shuo to support our cousin. That bastard Jiang Han would definitely not let him in if we did not make things difficult for him."

"Yes, we had already agreed long ago that we must make things difficult for Jiang Han, and must not let him marry off his cousin so easily."

When Madame Jiang heard their words, she thought about her nephew who was going to come to escort the bride. Her head hurt so much that she did not know what to say.

The few young men before her were either rich or powerful. She couldn't afford to offend them.

She only looked at the wooden sticks in their hands, and worried about Jiang Han who was going to escort the bride in the future with a headache.

Xu Yanzhu quickly found out what happened, and when she thought about what would happen later, she couldn't help but feel a tinge of anticipation.

As for today's matter, she would write a letter detailing it to her grandmother, Third Uncle and the others in the Xiahe Village.

Xu Shiqiu and Dong Shu had thought that Xu Yanzhu was busy with the matters of marriage, and had not had time to write to them for at least a few days. However, they had not expected that at the beginning of November, Xu Yanzhu's letter would arrive in their hands at an agreed time.

"Master, is that a letter from Yanzhu?" Dong Shu held onto her stomach for the past seven months as she looked at Xu Shiqiu with anticipation, waiting for Xu Shiqiu to pick out the letter that belonged to him.

Hearing the Young Girl's words, Xu Shiqiu raised his head and looked at her, seeing the anticipation in her eyes, he then said: "My wife, go sit at the side first, wait for me to find the letter Yanzhu gave you, then I'll send it to you." After saying that, Xu Shiqiu quickly glanced at the letter in his hand. Seeing that it was written by Xu Yanzhu for himself, he quickly picked it up and showed it to Dong Shu, "This is what Yanzhu wrote to me.

Xu Shiqiu had guessed wrongly in the end. Xu Yanzhu's letter was not addressed to Dong Shu but it was written to him by Ye Shuo.

There were three cinnabar points on the letter. This meant that the letter was urgent and extremely important.
