After County Magistrate Li learned about the concubine from Liu Xiangxiang, he immediately rushed to Zhou's house again the next day.
Zhou Ruiyuan saw him coming and asked quickly: "How is it? Did she say it?"
Magistrate Li nodded heavily and followed Zhou Ruiyuan into the house, "I've said it, I've said it all."
Zhou Ruiyuan was overjoyed. He held the baby in his hand and turned to the backyard to call Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince over.
Magistrate Li saw them all coming and told them everything Liu Xiangxiang said last night.
Aunt Zhou was stunned for a long time after hearing this. She shook her head for a long time before saying in disbelief: "You mean Princess Duan?"
Magistrate Li nodded, "Yes, she is the only concubine left in the harem now."
Aunt Zhou stood up slowly, her eyes still a little lost in thought, "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and I have become very close to Princess Duan. She has always been kind to others, and she also takes good care of me on weekdays. How could it be her?"
The third prince slowly walked up to her, frowned and said, "As the saying goes, you know the face but not the heart. Zhou'er, you may have been deceived by her." ?.?????.???
Aunt Zhou had been doted on by her father, mother, and elder brother since she was a child. She had never been exposed to any intrigues. Only after entering the palace did she realize how terrifying the women in the harem were.
But Princess Duan was different. She not only took care of her from time to time, but also taught her how to manage the harem.
So over the years, even if there were many concubines in the harem, she had been the queen for more than ten years.
Now, someone told her that everything was fake.
After thinking about it, she raised her head slightly and asked Magistrate Li: "Master Li, did Mrs. Liu tell me why Mrs. Duan did this?"
County Magistrate Li pondered, glanced out the window, and said cautiously: "She did say something about this, it seems because the relationship between Princess Duan and the emperor is also somewhat unclear."
"It's just that this relationship is really neither fish nor fowl, and it's really hard to say it openly."
Aunt Zhou suddenly realized that Princess Duan was indeed beautiful and considerate, so it was no wonder that the emperor would like her.
"I didn't expect that just for a man, she would harm the four of us, mother and son, like this." After she finished speaking, she sat down with a long sigh.
Zhou Ruiyuan, who was listening to their conversation, held his child thoughtfully. After a while, he stood up suddenly and said seriously: "No! Something happened!"
Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince turned pale, "What's wrong? Ruiyuan?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly: "If Concubine Duan did this, she would never let it go so easily. Now that the emperor has sent people to Changliu Village to look for us with great fanfare, Concubine Duan must have also sent people to follow. "
Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince were also shocked.
"How to do this?"
County Magistrate Li comforted them and said, "Don't worry. The people who came to look for you last time have already gone to the neighboring village with fake portraits. They shouldn't be able to find you here for a while."
Aunt Zhou tightly grasped the chair next to her and said coldly: "If she really sends someone to find her, then we will fight to the death. If she doesn't want me to survive, I will drag her to hell with her."
The third prince helped her sit up, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, even if her people come here, I won't let anything happen to you."
After hearing what the Third Prince said, Aunt Zhou's face became a little better.
At this moment, the child in Zhou Ruiyuan's arms suddenly cried.
Everyone looked at the little baby in his arms, "What's wrong with this child?"
Aunt Zhou stretched out her hand to take the little baby in her hand, "I guess she's hungry, I'll take it to Wanchun to feed her."
Zhou Ruiyuan reluctantly handed the child in his hand to Aunt Zhou.
Aunt Zhou hugged her pink little face, the displeasure on her face was instantly wiped away, and she quickly smiled and said: "You guys chat first, I'll go to the Spring House."
After that, he turned around and walked towards Du Wanchun's house with the child in his arms.
Du Wanchun listened to the child's cry, sat up and said with a smile, "Mianmian must be hungry."
Aunt Zhou slowly handed the child to her, "Yes, this Ruiyuan holds the child in his hands every day and doesn't even know she's hungry."
Du Wanchun hugged the child, gently touched the tip of the baby's nose, and said with a smile: "This child also likes her father. When she is noisy, she only needs to be held by her father."
Aunt Zhou also touched her little face gently with her hand, "In a few days, I will go to the county to find a nanny for the children, so you can feel more relaxed."
On weekdays, the children have to drink milk every hour. It is really tiring to have three children in one day.
Zhou Ruiyuan has been looking for wet nurses in the village for the past few years, but has not found a suitable one.
Aunt Zhou plans to go to the county to look for her in a few days.
But now because of Princess Duan's incident, she is afraid to go out on the streets.
Du Wanchun heard some of what was said outside the house just now. She comforted Aunt Zhou and said, "Mom, don't worry. Our life is getting better and better now. My second brother also has his own soldiers outside the customs. We are not afraid of the concubine."
