Xu Shu lived a life almost isolated from the world in Taohua Villa, comfortable and comfortable. Time seems to be walking particularly fast here, day after day, so fast that Xu Shu was confused and hesitant.

Such leisurely days were something she had been looking forward to for a long time. There was no quarrel or calculation, and there was no need to use her brain. Her daily life became particularly simple. She either heard her elder sister Xu Jing complain about her nephew and nieces being naughty in the letter, or wrote a letter to Gao Zhinan and split the words, or received food sent by her fourth sister Xu Ru, who had married to the Zhang family every now and then.

After eating the last box of snacks sent by Xu Ru, Xu Shu held the empty box and sighed, "It's already noon today, why haven't the Fourth Sister sent someone to deliver things yet?"

"Miss, Miss Four is here!"

Xu Shu sat upright in shock, "Is the Fourth Sister here?" When she heard Xu Ru's steps, she said happily, "Sister I am still newly married, why are you here in this remote countryside?"

Xu Ru walked closer and said, "Today, my husband visited a classmate, and happened to be nearby, so I asked my husband to come together?"

Xu Shu didn't hear the footsteps of others, so she asked, "Where is the fourth brother-in-law?"

Xu Ru said, "He went to his classmates and would come here later!"

"Let the kitchen prepare more meals at night!" Xu Shu turned around and ordered, "I don't know if my fourth brother-in-law is used to eating the food in the countryside!"

Xu Ru smiled softly, "Anyway, he can eat what I can eat!"

Xu Shu burst out laughing, "That's good!"

"I made new snacks for you!" Xu Ru handed over a four-layer food box, "I used to be able to watch the cook make them secretly, but now I have the chance to make them by myself. I just wish I could make them every day. It was also Jiu Mei, you give me face and I am willing to eat what I made!"

"My fourth brother-in-law must also like to eat it!" Xu Shu laughed.

Xu Ru's face turned slightly red, and without waiting for Xu Shu to ask, he took the initiative to explain, "The Zhang family is very nice to me. Whether it is parents-in-law, sister-in-law, or uncle and sister-in-law, they are very nice to me, so good to me... so good to me... just like I am their relative! I never dared to imagine that one day someone other than Jiu Mei, would be nice to me! I know that they treat me like this because Jiu Mei, you saved their family, but I believe that as long as I try my best to do my duty as a wife and a wife, they will treat me as a relative one day!"

"Yes! Sure!" Xu Shu held Xu Ru's hand and encouraged her, "Sister Four, you will definitely do it!"

Xu Ru nodded and glanced at a letter that was opened on the table. The signature on the envelope was Gao Zhinan. His eyes flashed and he felt a moment of loss of consciousness.

Xu Shu realized, "Sister Four, what's wrong?"

Xu Ru has never kept anything from Xu Shu, "Ms. Gao... A few days ago, when she heard her mother talk to her father, she mentioned that the Queen wanted to select a group of suitable age girls from the aristocratic family to enter the palace. She chose the right people from the Ministry of Rites, and Miss Gao's name seemed to be inside..."

Xu Shu's hand shook, and the snacks in her hand rolled to the ground. Xu Ru patted her hand lightly, "It's okay, in the case of the Gao family, it's difficult for Miss Gao to be selected... The talent show is to fill the harem, and even for the offspring..."

Xu Shu shook her head, "It's because of this that Sister Zhinan is more likely to be selected!"

Xu Shu has reached a secret consensus with the queen, so the queen will no longer hope that other women can give birth to the royal heirs, especially the prince. The newly-entered girl is just a favor. It is impossible to give birth. Who else can be more reassuring than a woman with only sisters and no brothers in the family? Perhaps this woman can't give birth to a son? And even if she is favored, she has no brothers to rely on, so she doesn't have to worry about the power of relatives and a good pawn. What a good pawn, let alone the friendship between Xu Shu and Gao Zhinan is not a secret, and the queen cannot not know that holding Gao Zhinan in her hand, Xu Shu has some concerns.

Xu Ru didn't understand, but seeing Xu Shu's deep concerns, she didn't question what she said, and comforted her softly, "It's just a list to be selected. The fewer than one or two of the people on the list can be selected into the palace in the end, so don't worry!"

"As long as this list is sent to the palace, the Zhinan sister will definitely be kept..." Xu Shu narrowed her eyebrows and hurriedly thought about countermeasures.

Xu Ru was stunned for a moment and could only say, "The emperor is in his prime. Maybe Miss Gao is lucky enough to..."

"Impossible!" Xu Shu smiled bitterly. Longzi was not so easy to live, otherwise there would be no women in the palace except Concubine Shu.

"Sister Zhinan cannot enter the palace! I will never let Sister Zhinan enter the palace!" Xu Shu turned a firm tone.

Xu Ru was silent and reminded, "This is not as good as the Xu family. It is related to the imperial family. Ninth Sister, don't take risks!"

"I have a sense of justice!" Xu Shu comforted Xu Ru, but her frown did not let go.

Xu Ru sighed and suddenly said, "By the way, something happened to the Xu family, do you know?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Shu lowered her head and didn't care.

"The seventh brother pushed Tong'er into the water and drowned!"

"What?" Xu Shu suddenly looked up and froze.

Xu Ru patted her stiff shoulder, "Don't worry, Seventh brother is fine!"

"Mother... saved him?" Xu Shu's tone suddenly became obscure.

"No!" Xu Ru's eyes showed mockery, "Yuxi is dead!"

Xu Shu instantly understood, "Did Yuxi take the blame for his seventh brother?"

Xu Ru nodded, "After Tong'er died, the seventh brother disappeared. The family searched for him for a night but couldn't find him. The next morning, when the eldest uncle went to court, the seventh brother suddenly rushed to him and cried and said that Yuxi was going to kill him. When the eldest uncle saw that the seventh brother was fine, he rushed to the court again, so he sent the seventh brother to the aunt's place. Later, the eldest uncle took the seventh brother and grandmother to confront the Chen family. Another servant present suddenly changed his words and said that Yuxi pushed Tong'er, for fear that the matter would be exposed, so he pushed the seventh brother into the water. The seventh brother ran away, and grandmother asked him to find Yuxi..."

Speaking of this, Xu Ru smiled helplessly and desolate, "You know, how can you find someone at this time? The person sent by her grandmother saw Yuxi hanging in her house, and there was no evidence of death. This matter was like this! My mother thought of the love that had been serving the seventh brother in Yuxi for several years, and did not pursue the murder of the seventh brother, so she asked his family to take the body back. As for Tong'er's death, the eldest aunt said that the housekeeper was unrighteous, and compensated the Chen family for 200 taels of silver, and rewarded Tong'er's father and two maids. There was a grandmother helping him to speak. The Chen family's whole family would have to rely on the Xu family to survive in the future, so she didn't dare to pursue it anymore. She buried Tong'er with just a coffin and happily took the two beautiful maids home and gave birth to a son!"

"Where did you go the night when your seventh brother disappeared?" Xu Shu seized the key.
