Du Wanchun began to struggle in the water. After a while, she fell into a warm embrace.
I only heard people talking on the river bank.
"Brother! Quick! Push sister-in-law up."
When Du Wanchun heard the sound, he opened his eyes slightly and looked at the person who came, only to see it was Zhou Ruiyuan.
After Zhou Ruiyuan carried her ashore, he pressed her chest and helped her take a few breaths. ?.?????.???
Du Wanchun gradually woke up, helped Zhou Ruiyuan sit up and said, "What's wrong with me?"
Miss Han quickly came to her side, supported her and said, "Sister-in-law, you accidentally fell into the river just now."
Du Wanchun looked towards the river and said, "No, someone pulled me into the river."
"Someone dragged you into the river?" Miss Han was shocked.
Zhou Ruiyuan also frowned.
Du Wanchun helped Zhou Ruiyuan stand up slowly and continued to look at the crowd, "Yes, it may be pedestrians passing by."
Zhou Ruiyuan and Miss Han looked at each other with expressions of surprise.
Zhou Ruiyuan supported Du Wanchun and said, "Miss Han and I were beside you just now. We didn't notice anyone pushing you. It was you who suddenly fell into the river."
Du Wanchun raised her eyes with disbelief on her face. She remembered that someone clearly grabbed her wrist and pulled her in, but why neither Zhou Ruiyuan nor Miss Han saw it.
Could it be that there is something in the river?
After thinking about it, she slowly looked towards the river.
However, the river was quiet and there was nothing.
Zhou Ruiyuan thought Du Wanchun was frightened, so he quickly found a carriage from the roadside to take her back.
After Du Wanchun changed his clothes, Zhou Feng sent a servant to bring ginger tea.
Du Wanchun took the ginger tea and drank it, "I asked Zhou Feng, second brother, what is the name of the river where the lanterns are held in the capital today?"
Zhou Feng thought for a while and said, "My name is Lu Jianghe."
Du Wanchun then continued to ask: "Have there been any lives in this river?"
Zhou Feng paused and replied: "Why did sister-in-law suddenly ask this?"
Du Wanchun put down his cup and smiled slowly: "When I went to put out lanterns tonight, I heard some rumors from passers-by about holding someone in the river."
Zhou Feng thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a rumor in this river. I heard that the late emperor's queen sank into the river and died here."
"The late emperor's concubine?" Du Wanchun asked tentatively.
Zhou Feng nodded, "Yes, the late emperor did not have many concubines. Apart from the queen, there was Princess Duan. The one who sank into the river and died was the biological mother of the third prince."
Du Wanchun suddenly understood and continued to ask: "How could this good concubine sink into the river and die outside the palace?"
Zhou Feng whispered: "Back then, Concubine Liu had the opportunity to become a noble concubine because she gave birth to a prince. Perhaps she offended someone in the palace and was framed for having secretly behaving with other men outside the palace. He was sunk into the river."
"Framed? How do you know she was framed?" Du Wanchun asked seriously.
Zhou Feng said slowly: "My mother got along with Concubine Liu before she entered the palace. She doesn't think she is a flirtatious person, and it is not uncommon for people to be deceitful in the palace."
Du Wanchun was dubious, thinking about what happened when he fell into the river just now, and he made some guesses in his mind.
Soon it was early morning the next day.
Many official ladies from the boudoir came to Zhou Feng's shop inexplicably.
But these ladies are not here to buy incense, but to see Zhou Ruiyuan.
Although Zhou Ruiyuan changed his appearance, he still looked as handsome as before, so he attracted many girls.
Du Wanchun took care of these guests.
They originally didn't know that Du Wanchun was Zhou Ruiyuan's wife, and they were quite polite to her. However, after they found out that she was Zhou Ruiyuan's wife, they all showed their unruly temperaments.
"She's just a farm girl, why did she marry into such a good family?"
"Yeah, it's a pity that the shopkeeper is so talented."
"It would be great if I could hand it over to Shopkeeper Zhou."
"We come from a distinguished family. If we want to marry him, what if he has a wife?"
.......
When Miss Han on the side heard this, she sneered and said, "Why don't you take a pee and look in the mirror! Even you deserve it!"
Those official ladies did not dare to go against Miss Han, so they shut their mouths and left.
Du Wanchun narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw their backs.
There was only a sound of thunder, and heavy rain fell directly on the heads of those people.
The originally arrogant official lady soon turned into a drowned rat.
After the heavy rain, a woman came to the shop and asked Du Wanchun, "Is this the Zhoujia Incense Shop?"
Du Wanchun nodded, "That's right."
A look of joy appeared on the woman's face, "I came from Qingzhou Prefecture and wanted to send a letter to Du Wanchun of the Zhou family."
