Chapter 166 Concealment
After Xu Yanzhu finished saying this, her whole body felt powerless, as if she was about to fall to the ground in an instant.

After Dong Shu held Xu Yanzhu's arm quickly, and let her lean on her with all her strength, she looked at her and said in a low voice, "Yanzhu, don't be nervous. Take it easy now, wait until you calm down." Then, talk to me again."

Perhaps Dong Shu's comforting words had an effect. After Xu Yanzhu leaned against Dong Shu for a few breaths, she slowly began to exhale, trying to recover her body as soon as possible.

Dong Shu was not in a hurry, she supported Xu Yanzhu's arm with one hand, and patted her on the back with the other hand.

After waiting for a few more breaths, Xu Yanzhu felt that her body had recovered, and slowly withdrew her strength from leaning on Dong Shu.

Although Xu Yanzhu had slowed down, she still had some strength to lean on Dong Shu. She looked up at Dong Shu, and then said, "Third Aunt, Jiang Han came back on the [-]th day and brought back a lot of crabs. He Let the maid disassemble the crab, and keep staring at the mother-in-law to let her eat. The mother-in-law wants me to eat it too, but Jiang Han stops me from eating it. I heard Jiang Han's tone, there seems to be something wrong with the crab."

After saying this, Xu Yanzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and told Dong Shu everything that happened on August [-]th.

Listening to Xu Yanzhu's words, Dong Shu frowned in puzzlement and said, "You suspect Mrs. Jiang will die of illness suddenly, is it because of the crabs you ate that night?" After saying this, Dong Shu looked at Xu Yanzhu's pale face, and sighed He said, "Yan Zhu, I don't know so much. I will tell your third uncle and grandmother about these things, so that they can figure out what's going on. But I can understand your current expression. Your expression makes me feel so sad. It’s very worrying to see.”

When Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, her originally pale face became even paler.

She had a ghost in her heart, she was afraid that Jiang Han would find out about her and Brother Yan.

Since Jiang Han was able to kill her mother-in-law so cruelly, if he knew about her and Brother Yan, would he also be cruel to her?

The more Xu Yanzhu thought about these things, the more she felt that she was in danger, but she couldn't contact Brother Yan now, and she couldn't tell third uncle and the others about these things.

Dong Shu didn't know what happened to Xu Yanzhu, but she remembered Xu Shiqiu's explanation before coming here today.

"Now that your mother-in-law has gone, no matter what, as long as her natal family and Jiang family have no doubts, you should not talk too much. Your situation looks very bad now. After a few days, I will tell your third uncle He said, let’s see how we can find a way to get you to live in Zhuangzi. Since you are afraid of Jiang Han, it’s best to live away from him for a while. But Yanzhu, no matter what method we come up with, the most important thing is yourself. "

Dong Shu didn't dare to say more guarantees.

No matter what the relationship between Xu Yanzhu and Jiang Han is, Xu Yanzhu is now the wife Jiang Han is marrying back, and Mrs. Jiang died of illness, so Xu Yanzhu wants to keep her filial piety.

Thinking of this, Dong Shu said, "Yanzhu, don't be afraid. Now that Mrs. Jiang has passed away, you must pay her filial piety. Take advantage of the opportunity of filial piety, if you avoid Jiang Han, no one will say anything."

After all, the mother-in-law passed away, and the son and daughter-in-law are both in the filial piety period, so it is understandable to avoid it.

When Xu Yanzhu heard Dong Shu's words, his eyes lit up immediately.

She was originally worried that she would reveal her secrets when facing Jiang Han, but now she suddenly understood when she heard what the third aunt said.

She can find excuses to be filial piety for her mother-in-law and avoid Jiang Han, even if Jiang Han doesn't really want to be filial piety for her mother-in-law, he will definitely have to put on a show in Hundred Days or something.

After a hundred days, even if Brother Yan still cannot be contacted, she can still get 'sick' and avoid Jiang Han.

After thinking about this, Xu Yanzhu's complexion immediately became better.

Dong Shu kept paying attention to Xu Yanzhu, and after seeing the change in her expression, she also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was not good for the two of them to stay in this room all the time, and after Dong Shu told her what Xu Shiqiu had planned in advance and told Xu Yanzhu as a 'grandmother', she left the room with her.

When Dong Shu and Xu Yanzhu left the house, more people came to Jiang's house to worship.

Although the Jiang family is just a merchant, there are still some old relatives in the past, especially the friendship left by Jiang Han's father.

Now that Mrs. Jiang has died of illness, these people must come to pay their respects.

Because Mrs. Jiang had been sick frequently since autumn and winter last year, and this year she had to be sick every three days. Now that she died suddenly, no one doubted it.

Even Mrs. Jiang's natal family wanted to take this opportunity to build a good relationship with Jiang Han, and wanted Jiang Han to pull them out when doing business in the future.

They were only sad about Mrs. Jiang's sudden death, but they had no doubts at all.

After Dong Shu saw this, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.

If Mrs. Jiang's death was really caused by Jiang Han, then he had really calculated everything.

Later, when the people who came to pay respects to Mrs. Jiang gathered around and began to talk about business affairs, Dong Shu didn't pay attention any more.

Dong Shu didn't understand these things in the business field. Although Xu Shiqiu was young, he was an elder after all, and Dong Shu had the status of a township lord, so the two of them sat on the sidelines and no one would say anything.

When it was almost noon, Dong Shu followed Xu Shiqiu back home. They would come over in the next few days, especially Dong Shu.

Xu Shiqiu didn't have time in the future, but she was now the housewife of Xu's third bedroom, so if she wanted to save Xu Yanzhu's face, she had to come.

After getting in the carriage home, Xu Shiqiu saw Dong Shu's tired face, and was about to comfort her with distress, but Dong Shu suddenly said, "Sir, I think Yanzhu is hiding something from us."

Dong Shu couldn't explain why she felt this way, but after being in contact with Xu Yanzhu for a while today, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that Xu Yanzhu's reaction was particularly wrong.

According to the friendship between her and Xu Yanzhu, although they are separated by generations, they are really like sisters.

Before, Xu Yanzhu would tell her whatever was in his heart, but today, she realized that Xu Yanzhu had something to hide from her.

This feeling was particularly uncomfortable. At the same time, Dong Shu was still wondering what it was that Xu Yanzhu could keep from telling herself.

She even told her what she guessed was Jiang Han's murder of Mrs. Jiang, so what else can't be said?

Dong Shu couldn't understand this matter, so she had no choice but to tell Xu Shiqiu.

After Dong Shu finished what she had said with Xu Yanzhu today, as well as all her observations and guesses, she quietly waited for Xu Shiqiu to speak to clarify her doubts.

Xu Shiqiu didn't doubt her little lady's intuition, but after listening to the little lady's words, she also asked in doubt: "Will Yan Zhu hide something from us?" After saying this, Xu Shiqiu paused and continued: "Cuihua I have been following her all the time, Cuihua came back recently, did you say anything?"

"No, although Cuihua came back recently, although she was diligent, every time she came back, she was always preparing for her return in a while."

Dong Shu is also puzzled. It stands to reason that Cuihua has been following Xu Yanzhu for more than a year. If Xu Yanzhu has something, she will definitely know, but now it seems...

"Lady, the two face-to-face maids beside Yanzhu should be of the same identity as Yueyin and the others beside you."

When Dong Shu was contemplating, Xu Shiqiu suddenly said such a sentence.

Hearing his words, Dong Shu's eyes widened in surprise.

Yueyin and the others are the secret guards given to her by the empress, and who gave her the two maidservants beside Yanzhu?
"It seems that Yan Zhu is really hiding something from us." Dong Shu looked at Xu Shiqiu, and after saying this, she thought for a while and then said, "Since Yan Zhu is hiding something from us, she must not want us to know about it. Moreover, she was able to hide even Cuihua, it seems that this matter is very important to her."

Dong Shu's ability to say such things now is also the result of a lot of things she has experienced during this period, coupled with the intentional training of Nurse Yan and Mrs. Xu.

Xu Shiqiu also noticed the changes in his little lady. He was happy because of the changes in the little lady, but he didn't want her to have such a change.

The little lady will understand this, she must have experienced many things, and someone specially took it apart and told her, so she will understand.

After all, it was because of him that the little lady had such a change.

"You're right. We're going to Jiang's house every day for the past two days. You pay more attention to Yanzhu. When I get home later, I'll tell mother about Yanzhu and see if she can guess."

Xu Shiqiu was not sure about this matter in his heart, so he could only think about going back later and mentioning this matter to his mother who knew Yan Zhu better.

After Dong Shu heard Xu Shiqiu's words, she immediately nodded in agreement.

Both of them had something on their minds, so they didn't continue to speak on the road until they got home and saw Yuan Xi who was playing happily at Mrs. Xu's place. The faces of the husband and wife looked better.

When Mrs. Xu saw their expressions, she guessed that they had something on their minds.

After playing with Yuan Xi for a while, after Yuan Xi was hungry and wanted to eat and left, Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu sat down and told Mrs. Xu what happened at Jiang's house today.

After listening to Dong Shu and Xu Shiqiu's narration, Mrs. Xu sighed affirmatively, "Yan Zhu, this child must have something to hide from us."

How could Mrs. Xu not understand the temperament of the child raised by herself.

Thinking that Xu Yanzhu had something to hide from her, Mrs. Xu was more worried than sad.

She knew in her heart that the matter that made Xu Yanzhu make up her mind to hide it from them must be very important, and even had a great impact on the Xu family.
