Zhou Ruiyuan continued to ask: "I heard that the Wu family is famous in the capital. Why would they go all the way back to a brothel to redeem a girl?"
Madam Xu said with a smile, "Madam Liu's sister is extremely beautiful. She may be redeemed to be a concubine at home, but this concubine is probably not easy to be. I heard Madam Liu say that her sister has not been married for three years." I contacted her, but I don’t know what’s going on now.”
Zhou Ruiyuan and the third prince's expressions darkened after hearing this.
Aunt Zhou was afraid of arousing Madam Xu's suspicion, so she quickly said: "Mrs. Liu is lucky to have this sister, otherwise she would still be in the brothel now."
Madam Xu nodded, "Yes, she is afraid that Mrs. Li will come to see her these days, so she has closed the door. I will go to her home to see her later."
Du Wanchun suddenly thought of something, "Then Mrs. Li is so vicious, she will probably do it again. Madam Xu, if anything happens to you, you can come to Changliu Village to find us."
"Okay, don't worry, I have a few skilled waiters in the restaurant, so everything should be fine." After Mrs. Xu said this, she looked at her belly, "Is the little baby in your belly behaving well lately?"
Du Wanchun raised his hand and gently stroked his belly, "He's very well-behaved and basically doesn't cause trouble."
Madam Xu smiled and said, "That's good. When the baby is born in your belly, I will teach him how to make tea."
Du Wanchun looked down at his belly, "Not long ago, Mrs. Liu taught him how to make rouge." ?.?????.???
Madam Xu stood up and said, "It's not just about making rouge. I see that old man Zhang who sells pastries is also thinking of teaching him how to make pastries. In the future, this little kid of yours will probably be an all-rounder! He can do everything!"
Du Wanchun was also looking forward to it.
Aunt Zhou laughed and said, "We also need to teach him the art of making incense at home. I don't know if he can learn it."
Zhou Ruiyuan coughed twice, "Mom, you have to see if he is willing to learn."
Aunt Zhou frowned and said with a smile: "If you are as smart as Wanchun, you don't need to learn, just follow me and watch a few times and you will be able to do it."
As he said that, he looked towards Du Wanchun.
After a few people sat together and chatted for a few words, they each set up their own shops again.
Zhang Qiuhe looked at Wenwen as weak, but he was really good at settling accounts and doing business, and he was very patient with his customers. Every time someone came in, he would buy some incense and leave.
Without Mrs. Li causing trouble here, business in the shop has resumed.
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou felt relieved and followed the Third Prince and Zhou Ruiyuan back home with a carriage full of things.
After the group got off the carriage, the third prince stood at the door and thought about it, and then said to Mrs. Zhou: "Zhou'er, have you ever seen Mrs. Liu?"
Aunt Zhou quickly said: "Of course I have seen it."
The third prince frowned slightly and said, "Does she look very similar to a palace maid you used to have?"
When Aunt Zhou was in the palace, there were many maids around her, probably more than thirty. Now that she has been away from the palace for three years, she doesn't remember clearly, "I don't think she has any."
The third prince then asked: "Then do you remember whether there is anyone in Concubine Wu's palace who looks like her?"
Aunt Zhou thought about it carefully, "No, Mrs. Liu is charming, and all the maids in Concubine Wu's palace are very pretty."
Du Wanchun came up and asked, "My lord, are you suspecting that Mrs. Liu's sister is working in the palace?"
The third prince nodded, "Yes, everything is such a coincidence. Madam Liu's sister was redeemed by the Wu family, and it happened that she suddenly lost contact three years ago. Maybe she and your mother were raped by someone three years ago. It’s related to the matter of being wronged.”
Concubine Wu was pregnant at that time and accidentally miscarried, so she falsely accused Aunt Zhou of having a problem with her fragrance.
Among the people who gave evidence against Aunt Zhou, there were indeed several maids.
But then all these little maids disappeared.
At the same time, in the palace, Concubine Wu asked the maid next to her: "Have you found Liu Xiangxiang?"
"I haven't heard from you yet." The little palace lady lowered her head carefully and said.
Concubine Wu ate a piece of fruit and said slowly: "Keep looking for me. When you find it, just bring her head."
The little palace maid quickly responded: "Yes, your Majesty."
Concubine Wu spat out the core in her mouth and said in a cold voice: "Back then, my father let her enter the palace to teach me how to serve the emperor. I didn't expect that she actually wanted to report me for the sake of the queen! See if I don't break her legs. Sew her mouth shut!”
