Chapter 237 An extra son

Aunt Zhou was stunned when she saw the fifth prince in the carriage.

The two finally reacted together.

"Why are you here?!"

"Ah! Ghost!"

Aunt Zhou realized something was wrong and quickly turned her back to the fifth prince. ?.?????.???

The fifth prince also turned his back to Aunt Zhou with a look of horror on his face, his mouth was trembling, and he murmured to himself in a voice that none of them could hear: "The Queen... is the Queen... The ghost of the Queen Mother is here..."

The fifth prince is about the same age as Zhou Zhao. He used to beg for food in Aunt Zhou's palace. His appearance has not changed as much as Zhou Zhao's. He still looks like a little boy.

But why is he here?

Aunt Zhou was so shocked that she couldn't speak and ran towards the house quickly.

The fifth prince still had his back to them, as if he had seen a ghost. He closed his eyes and recited a spell silently, trembling all over.

Seeing him acting like this, the driver on the side quickly asked: "What's wrong with you kid?"

The fifth prince grabbed him, closed his eyes, and said tremblingly: "Uncle, go quickly! Go quickly! There is a ghost here!"

The driver raised his hand and pointed at his head, "What the hell is going on? The lady just now is our wife!"

The fifth prince opened his eyes slightly and his expression gradually improved, "Madam, your wife?"

The coachman smiled and said, "Yes, she is the wife of our Zhou Family Incense Shop."

The fifth prince quickly said: "I know the Zhou Family Incense Shop. They also have a shop in the capital, and the incense they sell smells really good."

He said and immediately rubbed his eyes, "It seems that I saw it wrong just now."

Du Wanchun stayed beside the carriage and said to the coachman with a smile: "Uncle Zhang, you have worked hard all the way. Come and have a hot meal at home."

The coachman and the fifth prince had no trouble along the way, so they were indeed hungry.

The two of them hesitated, wanting to go but a little embarrassed to agree.

Du Wanchun welcomed them in.

The fifth prince bent over and carefully looked into the room.

At this moment, Aunt Zhou stopped being coy and brought out the dishes prepared by Aunt Zhuang from the room.

Madam Wu and Xu Xiaomei also came over with their children in their arms.

The fifth prince was timid and did not dare to raise his head when seeing so many people. He did not dare to look at Aunt Zhou again.

But he was soon impressed by the dishes on the table.

While eating, Du Wanchun asked Uncle Zhang, "Who is this young man?"

Uncle Zhang replied while eating: "This guy said he was going to the south. He accidentally got on the wrong carriage of mine, and was robbed and charged by gangsters on the way. He had no choice but to follow me all the way here."

Du Wanchun suddenly realized it, and then said with a smile: "We happen to be short of people to work in the field, and I don't know if this young man is willing to stay."

The fifth prince was stunned when he heard this, and before he could swallow the food in his mouth, he asked, "Stay?"

Du Wanchun nodded.

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "If you stay, you can eat meals like this every day."

"Can you eat meals like this every day?" the fifth prince immediately asked excitedly.

Du Wanchun responded with a smile: "Yes, you can eat meals like this every day in the future."

The fifth prince was overjoyed and said, "Okay, I am willing to stay. The food here is much better than the food in the capital!"

After he finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and stuffed the food into his mouth.

The people at the table watched and couldn't help laughing.

Aunt Zhou was not as scared as she was at first, so she secretly filled a bowl of rice and put it in his hand.

This child has no shortcomings except being timid since he was a child.

And there is a reason why it is small.

The fifth prince's mother used to be a maid in Aunt Zhou's palace, but later she was favored by the emperor and made Concubine Li.

However, the emperor was a ruthless guy. After Concubine Li gave birth to the fifth prince, he left her aside and ignored her.

Aunt Zhou has been taking care of mother and son.

When the fifth prince was one year old, Concubine Li burned charcoal in the room because she was depressed and unhappy.

The fifth prince saw his mother's death with his own eyes, so he was as timid as he is now.

After Concubine Li's death, the fifth prince was personally raised by the Queen Mother. Aunt Zhou looked at him pitifully and often brought him to the palace to take care of him.

She was half a mother, and she would sweetly call her "mother queen" when she came to the palace on weekdays.

Unexpectedly, after four years of not seeing each other, the two met by such a chance.
