Du Wanchun also felt something was wrong and asked her: "You said you are the concubine of the third brother, is there any evidence?"
The woman lowered her head and cried, "How can I have any evidence? After General Zhou accepted me, he ignored me and took the princess and left me alone in the military camp. I can only bring my child to find my mother."
As he said that, he looked at Aunt Zhou, as if he saw a savior.
This woman is very smart. In just a moment, she figured out who these people were.
In fact, she was not Zhou Zhao's concubine, she was just a woman whom Zhou Zhao casually rescued when he was in the military camp.
Called Mengru. ?.?????.???
Princess Nanfeng saw that the woman was pitiful, so she stayed with her as a maid.
But this maid was dishonest and wanted to be the general's concubine, so she tried every means to seduce Zhou Zhao from time to time.
Zhou Zhao is a stubborn person, he only cares about his wife, and he won't even look at anyone else.
Just like this, Mengru tried several times but to no avail. Later, she directly drugged Zhou Zhao and prepared to make a meal out of raw rice.
Unfortunately, Zhou Zhao was in good health and had good luck. Not only did she not succeed, but she also let Princess Nanfeng know her true identity.
Princess Nanfeng kicked her out.
She later lived on the streets with nowhere to go. She heard that the Zhou family owned many shops and had a lot of money, so she thought of extorting some money.
"Child? What child?" Aunt Wang on the side asked in confusion.
Mengru lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I already have his child in my belly."
"Really? Is it Zhao'er's child?" Aunt Wang asked excitedly.
Mengru nodded, "Who else could it be besides him?"
Aunt Wang was stunned and quickly looked at Aunt Zhou, "Sister Zhou, if this is really Zhao'er's child, then it is your Zhou family's child."
If a normal woman heard that she had a grandson, she would be excited to welcome her in.
However, Aunt Zhou pointed at her and said coldly: "You keep saying that you are my Zhaoer's concubine! You also say that you have my Zhaoer's child! Then show me the proof. If you can't show it, I will treat you as if you are here to beg for food." .”
She could tell at a glance what was wrong with this woman, and she wanted to drive her out with a stick.
Meng Ru was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then she sat on the ground crying and shouted loudly: "You, the Zhou family, are bullying people and have ruined my reputation, yet you won't let me in!"
Her voice was so loud that it alarmed nearby villagers, and many people came to watch the fun.
Some people said that this woman must have thought that the Zhou family had money, so she wanted to extort it.
Others said that the Zhou family bullied this weak woman because they were rich and powerful.
These words were all heard by Aunt Zhou.
She originally wanted to curse a few more times, but was stopped by Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun slowly stepped forward, helped the woman up, and said, "Girl, this is a long journey and you are tired."
After saying that, he quickly called to Dr. Xu in the crowd: "Doctor Xu, you are here just in time. Check this girl for me to see if she has any fetal force."
When Mengru heard that she wanted a doctor to take her pulse, she immediately became anxious, "That's not possible. This man and woman are not close to each other. How can I let him take my pulse?"
Doctor Xu was also a smart man. When he heard what the girl said, there must be something wrong, he smiled and said: "Girl, don't worry, I will feel your pulse through the gauze and I won't touch you."
Mengru was still reluctant, "Can the pulse be accurate through the gauze?"
Aunt Zhou said sternly: "If you are so unwilling for the doctor to take your pulse, then the baby in your belly might be a fake!"
She did not dare to show weakness and imitated Mengru's behavior just now, and said loudly to the villagers: "Look, everyone, this girl keeps saying that she has our Zhaoer's child, but she refuses to let us ask a doctor to check her pulse. , maybe there is no child in the belly at all."
The villagers nodded their heads.
Mengru's face turned pale. In desperation, she held her head and pretended to faint.
"Ah, this person fainted!" Aunt Wang said in shock.
Seeing the person lying on the ground, Aunt Zhou said in a cold voice: "If she faints, she will faint. Just let her lie on the ground. Anyway, there are many snakes in the village now."
After saying that, he pulled Du Wanchun and Aunt Wang into the house and closed the door without caring about the people around them.
"This woman dares to blackmail us. Fortunately, Zhao'er will be back tomorrow. Let's see what she has to say then." Aunt Zhou said angrily.
Madam Wu was watching everything that just happened at the door, and said seriously: "Will this woman stay at the door and not leave?"
Aunt Zhou snorted coldly and said: "If she is a slave, let her continue to be a slave. I don't believe she is not afraid of the mosquitoes here."
Madam Wu nodded.
Du Wanchun raised his head and glanced at the door.
Then he followed Aunt Zhou into the house.
Not long after, the originally sunny sky suddenly started to rain heavily.
The rain pattered on the eaves and branches.
It didn't take long for Mengru on the ground to be wet.
Mengru never expected that it would suddenly rain now. She huddled on the ground and shivered from the cold.
