Aunt Zhuang took Aunt Zhou's hand and gradually recovered from the shock. She knelt down and said, "My queen! Is it really you? Or is this old slave dreaming?!"
Seeing her old friend, Aunt Zhou felt sad. She held her hand and said, "It's me, I'm not dead."
Aunt Zhuang burst into tears with red eyes, "Mother, it's great that you are still alive! After I found out what happened to you, I almost followed you!"
As he spoke, his face was stained with tears.
After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her head and looked around, "Where are your highnesses? Are they okay?"
Aunt Zhou said slowly: "Don't worry, Ruiyuan and Feng'er Zhaoer are all fine."
Aunt Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, but tears still flowed uncontrollably, "My Lady, you and your Highnesses are really suffering. You are obviously of high status, but you were harmed by that bitch to look like this!"
She said, tremblingly rubbing Aunt Zhou's rough sleeves.
In fact, both her and Du Wanchun's clothes were made of the latest fabrics, but they were still far from the expensive silk and satin in the palace. ?.?????.???
Aunt Zhuang's eyes were filled with distress. In her heart, Aunt Zhou was just like her biological sister. She also helped bring up the three children, and they were no different from her biological sons.
Du Wanchun walked up to her and handed her the racket.
Aunt Zhuang took the handkerchief, raised her eyes and looked at her, wondering: "Who is this little lady?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "This is Rui Yuan's daughter-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhuang quickly knelt down and said, "It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess."
After saying that, he kowtowed heavily.
This was the first time Du Wanchun received such treatment, and he quickly helped Aunt Zhuang up, "Mom, get up quickly. You are an elder, how can you kneel to me?"
Aunt Zhuang replied: "Senior and junior, you are the master and I am the slave, so I will naturally kneel to you."
Aunt Zhou stopped her and said, "Mom, we are not in the palace now. I am no longer the queen, and you are not a slave. There is no need to be polite in front of us."
Aunt Zhuang's eyes widened and she felt a burst of emotion again.
Aunt Zhou then told her roughly what had happened in the past few years.
Aunt Zhuang was so distressed that she never stopped crying.
After Aunt Zhou finished speaking, she thought about the noise outside just now and asked her, "Mommy, I heard from the prince that your hometown is Rong County. Why are you here in Cheng'an County?"
Aunt Zhuang's complexion was slightly yellow and she was very thin. Coupled with the scars on her face, it was obvious at a glance that she was having a hard time.
Du Wanchun handed her the chicken on the table.
She was probably very hungry, so after hesitating for a moment, she immediately took it in her hand and ate it.
Aunt Zhou gave her a handkerchief and said, "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
After taking two bites, Aunt Zhuang slowed down and said slowly: "After the incident happened to the empress, I was rescued by the Third Prince. He gave me a sum of money to return to my hometown. After I returned to my hometown, all the fields at home were given to me. Later, in order to settle down in the village, people in the village helped me find a matchmaker, so I found a small vendor at the head of the village who was about the same age as me."
"I thought that since we were old, we could live a good life together. Who knew, he stole my money and came to Cheng'an County to do business. Once the business started, he turned against me and refused to recognize me."
Aunt Zhuang's eyes became redder and redder as she spoke.
Aunt Zhou was very angry when she heard that. She calmed down and asked her: "How much money did he take from you in total?"
Aunt Zhuang lowered her head, her teeth chattering, "The total amount of silver is about one hundred taels."
One hundred taels of silver is enough for an ordinary peasant family to live without worries for a long time.
Aunt Zhou looked at it and let out a long sigh.
Originally I wanted to say a few words to Aunt Zhuang, but when I think of a woman who is helpless in the village, I will inevitably want to find someone to rely on.
After all, she can best understand how difficult a woman's life is in today's world.
She still has several sons at home, but if Aunt Zhuang were to encounter a powerful bandit, her life would probably be lost.
Aunt Zhuang wiped her tears and continued: "I am also stupid. I found this beast. He is not a human being. He took my money and kicked me out, leaving me begging on the street. !”
Aunt Zhou comforted her and said, "It's okay if you don't follow this kind of person. Why don't you continue to follow me? My family, Wanchun, is going to give birth in a few months, so I can rest assured that you are here."
