In the side hall, Xu Shaobo was busy running around, pouring tea and water.

"Master Xu, you don't have to be polite, we can do it ourselves." Chandler said.

Yu Lin smiled and said, "Master Xu is very happy to be a father for the first time."

Xu Shaobo agreed with this statement very much: "There is no adult here today, only a father. If you two don't mind, you can just call me Shaobo."

"The situation today is dangerous, and I would like to thank you all for your help. I have asked the kitchen to prepare a simple meal, which will be ready shortly."

Everyone understood each other tacitly and responded to Xu Shaobo's kindness.

After the meal, Yu Lin, Yu Youyou and Qian De left.

Xu Shaobo returned to the main courtyard room again. At this time, Dai Jialan had just finished breastfeeding her child and was eating with the help of her maid.

The maid knelt and saluted: "Master."

Xu Shaobo waved his hand: "You go down first, I'll be fine."

He took the bowl from the maid and fed Dai Jialan.

There is a warm atmosphere in the room.

After dinner, Dai Jialan asked, "Master, is Miss Yu coming over today?"

Xu Shaobo nodded: "You are in danger this time, thanks to her!"

Dai Jialan couldn't quite believe it. The girl from the Yu family was only three or four years old. What did giving birth have to do with her?

Dai Jialan was in danger at the time and had no idea what was happening inside the room.

When she regained consciousness and was able to pay attention to the outside world, she only heard the little girl's voice.

Xu Shaobo thought about it and decided to tell Dai Jialan about Youyou’s previous warning and her actions today.

Dai Jialan stood there in a daze.

"She...she knew something would happen to me? And why did she happen to come to the county government office today?"

This girl from the Yu family is very extraordinary, but isn’t this a little too magical?

Xu Shaobo's tone was also full of surprise: "I also think it's incredible, but fortunately she is here, otherwise today..."

The words were not finished, but both sides knew what was left unsaid.

The room was quiet for a moment, and Xu Shaobo suddenly spoke again: "Madam, you must know the reasons why we are here today. In the future, we can only rely on Prince Jing's mansion. Even my mother and sister in the capital will have to rely on the prince's care."

Seeing him mention these things so seriously, Dai Jialan nodded very seriously and said, "I understand."

Xu Shaobo continued, "It's not a coincidence that we came to Songyang County. The prince needs us to be here. As for why we are here, after what happened today, can you understand?"

Dai Jialan was stunned: "What happened today? What happened today...Are you talking about the girl from the Yu family?"

"The prince needs us to protect Miss Yu?" Dai Jialan was a little incredulous.

Xu Shaobo shook his head: "It's not protection. Miss Yu has her own people to protect her. What we need to do is to cover up her existence."

"The high-yield grains were just promoted a few days ago. When the grains are harvested three months later, they will surely shock the entire Songyang County, and even the prefectural capital."

"The Yu family has some relationship with the Qian family. Whether it is the attitude of the Qian family's head or the attitude of Qian De, the second master of the Qian family today, it shows that they have a special relationship with the Yu family. In addition, the high-yield grain entered the market last year. It is said that it was produced by Miss Yu's third cousin."

"Such a shockingly high yield of grain is undoubtedly a big threat to the Qian family. Merchants are profit-oriented. It is hard to guarantee what they will do when it comes to their own interests. However, they not only chose not to stop the actions of the third branch of the Yu family, but even fanned the flames behind the scenes. What is the reason?"

"Is it because of Concubine Hui? Or is it because the Yu family is very important to the Qian family? We don't know. The only thing we know is that the Qian family, the richest merchant family, Prince Jing's Mansion, the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, even the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion, and the Minister Su's Mansion are all related to the Yu family."

Xu Shaobo took into account almost all the connections related to the capital and the royal palace.

From this perspective, it seems that an ordinary farming family has so many noble families standing behind it!

"Master, it's not just that!"

"And there is also Master Wen's Mansion!"

"Teacher Wen started to accept students again, and even personally brought his grandson Wen Yuyang to the palace. The relationship between the two families is not very close. What's even more strange is that Teacher Wen accepted the eldest prince and princess and the prince of the palace as students, but rejected the Xu family. You know, the Xu family has a high status in the capital!"

Dai Jialan was right. They really hated that so-called family, but in terms of the status of the Xu family, it was probably on par with the Prince's Palace.

Without exception, all of the noble families listed by Xu Shaobo were at odds with the Xu family.

Then can they also understand that there is a grudge between the Yu family and the Xu family?

What they couldn't understand was that one was the Prime Minister's Mansion with deep roots in the capital, and the other was an ordinary farmer in a remote village far away from the capital.

What kind of grudge could there be between these two?

Xu Shaobo and Dai Jialan thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out a clue.

Dai Jialan thought of Yu Youyou's special ability, and she tentatively asked: "Could it be that Miss Yu is too special, and the prince doesn't want her to become a puppet of the Xu family?"

After hearing this, Xu Shaobo also felt that there was some truth in it.

Now, in Xu Shaobo's view, anyone who stands against the Xu family is a good person, no matter who they are.

If the Xu family really gets there first because of a special existence like Miss Yu, it would not be a good thing for most people.

If you think selfishly, your father can sacrifice himself for the family. Once you have a godly help like Miss Yu, the Xu family will become even more powerful. The consequences are unimaginable.

My father is an extremely selfish person. Even if he cares about others, it is only because the other person is useful to him.

The eldest sister was brought up to be spoiled and domineering, and offended many people in the capital. She was hated by everyone.

Even after he was imprisoned, he saw the Xu family's purpose more clearly.

After being promoted by his benefactor, he actually wanted to take his benefactor's position.

This idea of ​​treason is a gamble on the survival of the entire Xu family.

Xu Shaobo didn't like this, he knew very well that thunder, lightning, rain and dew were all grace from the emperor.

The royal family can make the Xu family rise rapidly, or they can make them fall into the abyss.

The emperor's mind is unpredictable, and the imperial power cannot be challenged!

If the Xu family insists on having their own way, they will be doomed!

"We are now following the prince and will obey his orders. We are currently in Songyang County and everything will be subject to Miss Yu."

Dai Jialan nodded solemnly: "Husband, I understand."

"Give the child a name. She has survived the catastrophe..."

……

On the other side, after Yu Youyou and the other two left the county government office, they said goodbye to Qian De and set out on the journey back to the village.

"You helped them today, which is a great favor."

Yu Youyou said, "The favor is secondary. The main thing is that Master Xu is still of great use to us. Besides, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. It is a great merit and will benefit the whole family."
