Mrs. Yuan was startled, "I don't know."
Du Wanchun continued: "That sum of money is not a small amount. If you find out, you will kill everyone."
Mrs. Yuan’s face turned pale with fright.
Du Wanchun continued: "The only one who can save you now is yourself." ?.?????.???
"Mrs. Yuan, I heard that you have always wanted to reconcile with him, but he is unwilling, so why not take advantage of this opportunity?"
Mrs. Yuan was startled, and asked with slightly trembling lips: "Shopkeeper Du, what do you mean by this?"
Du Wanchun raised his eyes and looked at the back of the mansion and said, "If you find evidence of his corruption, go to the capital, and then put him to death, you will naturally be able to reconcile with him."
"But, in this case, won't I also be implicated?" Mrs. Yuan asked doubtfully.
Du Wanchun continued to smile and said: "You reported to the emperor for your merits and recovered so much money. How could the emperor blame you? He might even give you a reward and let you find another good husband."
Mrs. Yuan gritted her teeth and hesitated as she listened.
Du Wanchun said with a cold voice and a serious tone: "Mrs. Yuan, you are not here to expose this matter, there are others. If it were someone else who came to expose it, not only would you not be able to escape, but your parents would also be implicated."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yuan raised her eyes slightly and suddenly realized.
Du Wanchun didn't say anything more, turned around and left Yuan Mansion.
Mrs. Yuan specially sent someone to send her back to Cheng'an County.
After Du Wanchun came back, the former magistrate never looked for her again. He had been too busy with the family's troubles to take care of the money and gold.
Du Wanchun didn't tell anyone about what happened in Yuan Mansion this time, but after being detained for one night, Zhou Ruiyuan still found out.
Zhou Ruiyuan was very angry and quickly sent people to find the evidence against the former prefect. However, before the evidence could be found, news came from the capital.
It is said that Mrs. Yan, the former wife, sued her husband, the former magistrate, for embezzling the money provided by the court for disaster relief.
Being sued by his own wife has never happened before.
The emperor himself was shocked. He dragged his exhausted body to the court and saw Mrs. Yuan presenting all the evidence and talking about it. He also admired this woman very much.
Later, after a group of ministers discussed, the original family was ransacked and the former magistrate was exiled to Beizhou.
However, the former wife, Yan, reported meritoriously, absolved her of the crime, and allowed her to reconcile.
The emperor had been confused all his life, so he handled this matter quickly and properly.
Soon Zhou Ruiyuan also got the news, which happened to save him the trouble of doing it himself.
After the emperor settled the matter, he allocated the disaster relief money to Magistrate Li.
It was the first time that Magistrate Li had received such a big responsibility, and he worked hard to provide disaster relief every day, so that the victims gradually found a way to survive.
When the emperor learned about this in the capital, he admired Magistrate Li more and more, and prepared to promote him in addition to Zhou Ruiyuan's promotion in a few months.
Perhaps because he had done a good deed, the emperor's health was better than before. This time, he wanted to do something else.
For example, give Zhou Ruiyuan a few concubines.
Originally, he planned to give these concubines to Zhou Feng, but when he thought of General Han, he became afraid again, so he decided to transfer these concubines to Zhou Ruiyuan.
These concubines are all left over from the last selection of concubines. Although their appearance is not of the highest quality, they are still pretty and pleasant.
But it is strange to say that since the list of these concubines was selected, these people were either sick or stubborn, and in the end none of them could go to Cheng'an County.
The emperor had no choice but to let it go, but after this incident, he fell ill again.
She was so sick that when she went to bed at night, she could always see the queen and a man coming in and out together, eating and sleeping together.
He was surprised from his dream, "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
The old eunuch bent over and came over, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
The emperor's face turned pale, he grabbed the old eunuch and asked sternly: "Have you found him?"
The old eunuch asked with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, what are you talking about?"
The emperor took the lapel of his clothes and shook him hard, "I say Queen, have you found her?"
The old eunuch knelt down quickly and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, hurry up, Guard Liu and the others heard that the Queen is in the north, so they went to the north to look for her!"
The emperor calmed down after hearing this. He slowly walked down from the couch as if he was in a daze.
"Hurry, help me find her quickly."
He felt that his health was getting worse and worse recently, and he was a little afraid that he would not be able to see her before he died.
Especially when he thought about the possibility of her marrying another man, his chest felt as uncomfortable as being blocked by a stone.
The old eunuch sighed helplessly.
If we had known this, why did we do it in the first place?
It would be better to die as a queen.
In Changliu Village, Aunt Zhou was sewing clothes for the child in Nan Fengling's belly. Perhaps because she was too happy, she accidentally pricked her hand with a needle.
"oops!"
She ouched quietly, then prepared to put her finger in her mouth.
The third prince who was cleaning the yard heard the slight sound and ran in immediately, "Zhou'er, Zhou'er, what's wrong with you? What happened to you just now?"
