I trade in both worlds

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun looked at each other and told Xu Xu the news they heard in Youzhou Restaurant.

After listening to this, Xu Xu frowned and remained silent. Her thoughts seemed to go back to ten years ago, and the painful and humiliating memory came to her mind again.

"Sister, what do you think we should do?" Xu Jin asked anxiously.

Xu Xu took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

"First, we need to confirm whether this news is true." She said slowly, "We can't jump to conclusions based on one side of the story."

"Secondly, we need to find out what kind of person the general's daughter is." Xu Xu continued.

"If Yang Erzhu really lost his fertility because of this incident, we don't know whether he would have any bad intentions towards Qi Wei. But understanding his situation and the character of that lady is crucial for us to formulate a response strategy."

"Sister, you are right. Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle." Xu Jin said thoughtfully, "I will go ask someone."

Xu Xu shook her head gently and stopped him: "You don't have to go, I'll go."

"Who are you going to ask?" Xu Zhun asked curiously, with confusion in his eyes.

"Second Grandpa." Xu Xu stood up and said, "I'll go now."

Liu Shenzhi was transferred to the post of Tongpan of Youzhou last year. In addition, his wife's family had a title, so it was easy for them to inquire about this information in the capital.

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun suddenly realized, looked at each other, and expressed their desire to go together.

However, Xu Xu shook his head again and refused. "No, you guys wait at home, I can go by myself."

Her tone was full of refusals.

After saying that, Xu Xu turned and left, walking towards the clan leader's house with firm steps. The setting sun stretched her figure very long, and each step seemed so heavy and resolute.

Xu Jin and Xu Zhun watched their sister go away, feeling mixed emotions.

The patriarch was sitting in the yard, holding a book in his hand and reading it carefully.

Seeing Xu Xu coming, he smiled, put down the book, and asked kindly: "Xu, you came to see me so late, is there something urgent?"

After Xu Xu bowed respectfully, he told the clan leader what his brothers had heard in Youzhou and his own concerns.

After hearing this, the clan leader frowned and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "This matter is indeed very serious. If it is true as you said, the young lady from the general's family is probably not a good person either."

"Second Grandfather, I would like to ask you to come forward and inquire about the specific situation through Lord Liu Shenzhi." Xu Xu said earnestly, with anticipation flashing in his eyes.

The second grandfather pondered for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I will write a letter right away and send someone to Youzhou tomorrow morning."

"However, Xuxu, you must also be mentally prepared. Things in the capital are complicated and changeable. Although we can do our best, the outcome is beyond our prediction."

Xu Xu's heart tightened when he heard this, but then he nodded firmly: "I understand, Second Grandfather. No matter what the result is, we will do our best."

The second grandfather looked at Xu Xu's determined eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He had finally lived a good life, but God brought trouble to him again.

He patted Xu Xu's shoulder gently and said earnestly, "Xu Xu, don't worry. With our Xu family here, the Yang family won't dare to go too far. It's just that Yang Erzhu's wife..."

"Okay, go back first. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

Xu Xu nodded gratefully, said goodbye to her second grandfather, and set out on the road home. It was late at night, the starry sky was bright, but her heart was filled with unknown anxiety and expectations.

In the next few days, Xu Zhuang seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, but Xu Xu's heart was still restless.

These days of waiting were undoubtedly a torment for her.

Half a month later, one evening, a letter from Youzhou was quietly delivered to Xu Zhuang.

After the patriarch opened the letter and read it, the handwriting that came into his sight made his face instantly solemn.

After reading the letter, he was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head and told Xu Jianli: "Go, call Xu Xu."

Xu Jianli left in response. Not long after, Xu Xu hurried over. Her eyes fell on the letter in the patriarch's hand, and she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

She took the letter from the patriarch and read it carefully.

With every line she read, her brows furrowed a little more. By the time she finished reading, her fists were unconsciously clenched and her eyes were flashing with complex emotions.

"Yang Erzhu was indeed seriously injured while trying to save the prince, and... he lost his fertility." The clan leader's heavy voice echoed in the house, as if a huge rock was pressing on everyone's heart.

After reading the letter, Xu Xu clenched his fist unconsciously, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "It seems that Yang Erzhu's wife is not a good person either?"

There was both anger and helplessness in her tone.

The clan leader sighed and said slowly, "She is a powerful character. She comes from a famous family, has a very strong character, and will take revenge for any slight. After she married Yang Erzhu, she has firmly controlled the internal and external affairs of the Yang Mansion. She should not be underestimated."

Hearing this, Xu Xu frowned, thinking to herself, Xiao Xiangxiang, if she is really so domineering, how could she let it go given Yang Erzhu's current situation?

"Moreover." The clan leader paused and continued, "Xiao Xiangxiang is very strict with Yang Erzhu. Yang Erzhu has not taken a concubine for so many years. From this, it can be seen that she will never tolerate Yang Erzhu having other children."

"Although Yang Erzhu was seriously injured for saving the prince, the prince must be grateful to him. If he wants to take Xu Qiwei back, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to fight him. And Xiao Xiangxiang may do something extreme to stop Yang Erzhu."

When Xu Xu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and a chill rushed from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. If this was true, the Xu family's peaceful life might be over.

She looked up at the patriarch, her eyes sparkling with a plea for help: "So what should we do now?"

So their family is really going to leave Dayun Dynasty and live in the modern world because of Yang Erzhu?

The clan leader pondered for a moment, his eyes firm, "The Xu family has been farming for generations. Although we have no officials, we have our roots. Right now, the most important thing is to keep our footing and not lose our footing."

"Yang Erzhu's injury will take at least three or four months to recover. Even if the Yang family has any plans, they have to wait until the beginning of spring after the New Year. During this period, you must not leave Xuzhuang."

Xu Xu nodded, but was still worried.

Although the patriarch said so, the matter is far from that simple. Xiao Xiangxiang's temperament, the power of the Xiao family, and the prince's gratitude to Yang Erzhu are all insurmountable gaps for them.
