Du Wanchun entered Zhou Feng's newly purchased mansion under the guidance of Shopkeepers You and Tong.

There were many maids and servants inside, as well as some nuns who had come with Han Yan'er as a dowry.

When they saw Du Wanchun, they very respectfully arranged the yard that had been prepared for her.

After resting in the yard, Du Wanchun came to open the window and door, called the steward of the mansion, and asked about the affairs of the mansion.

The steward was also very polite. Not only did he tell Du Wanchun everything about the affairs of the house, but he also prepared a good dinner for them and the others.

After Du Wanchun had dinner, he went to bed early.

Mrs. Wei found Shopkeeper Bo in the backyard, and the couple reunited after a long absence and talked all night.

The next morning, Du Wanchun went to the rice warehouse early in the morning without calling her.

All the rice in the rice warehouse is arranged and piled into small hills.

After Du Wanchun inspected them one by one, he ordered Shopkeeper You: "Move all these rice to our Zhou family's rice shops tomorrow."

Shopkeeper You asked doubtfully: "Mrs. Du, are they all rice shops?"

Du Wanchun nodded, "Yes, that's right, all the rice shops of our Zhou family in the capital, including your shop that is now closed."

Shopkeeper You was stunned for a moment, then responded with a smile on his face: "Yes, madam."

The butler who was helping with the accounting at the side pricked up his ears and listened secretly. His thick brows furrowed and he grabbed a handful of rice from the rice bag next to him and squeezed it hard.

After Du Wanchun came back from the rice warehouse, he came outside the guest room where Mr. Wei lived.

Mrs. Wei saw her coming and quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Shopkeeper Du."

Du Wanchun asked with a smile: "How is your husband's injury now?"

Wei lowered her head and replied: "The injury is almost healed, but the leg can't walk yet. It will probably take some time."

Du Wanchun took out a prescription and handed it to her, "My husband-in-law also had bad legs and feet before, but he got much better after taking this prescription. You can give it to your husband-in-law to try."

Mrs. Wei took it in her hand and was grateful, "Thank you so much, Shopkeeper Du."

Du Wanchun smiled brightly and said, "You're welcome. I hope your husband will get well soon and help our Zhou family keep the shop."

Wei nodded after hearing this.

"Madam, is that Mrs. Du outside?" Shopkeeper Bo in the room called to Mrs. Wei.

Mrs. Wei turned her head and replied, "Ms. sir, this is Mrs. Du."

At this time, the sound of crutches came from the house, and a thin man walked out.

Although the man's appearance is not exactly handsome, he is tall, fair-skinned, and has a dignified appearance.

Du Wanchun only met him a few times when he came to the capital last time, and it was only today that he could see his appearance clearly.

Shopkeeper Bo came up with a cane and said, "Mrs. Du, you came just in time. I have something to tell you."

As he spoke, he raised his cautious eyes and looked around, "Mrs. Du, please take a step to speak."

Du Wanchun immediately understood what he meant, pointed to a small garden next to the guest room and said, "Why don't you two come with me to the garden to have tea."

Shopkeeper Bo saluted and said, "Yes, madam."

She took Shopkeeper Bo and Mrs. Wei towards the garden.

The garden is surrounded by lush flowers and plants, which completely blocks the inside.

After Du Wanchun sat down, he poured a cup of tea for each of them, "Shopkeeper Bo, there are no outsiders here anymore. You can say anything you want."

Shopkeeper Bo lowered his voice and said, "There is a spy in our Zhou family shop."

Du Wanchun was not surprised. He took a sip of tea and asked, "Do you know who the mole is?"

Shopkeeper Bo shook his head, "Currently, only Shopkeeper Tong and Shopkeeper You seem to be the most suspicious."

As he spoke, he continued in a soft tone: "It's just that these two people were the same people who followed Shopkeeper Zhou at the beginning. I couldn't guess who they were at the moment."

Du Wanchun nodded lightly, "Yes, I understand. Thank you, Shopkeeper Bo, for reminding me."

Shopkeeper Bo glanced towards the rice warehouse in the backyard and said, "Be careful with the newly shipped rice."

Du Wanchun arched his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Bo, I have a plan."

Shopkeeper Bo let out a long sigh of relief, "That's good."

He said, looking down at his broken leg, his face was pale and he looked a little weak.

"It's all useless to me. I didn't expect that I almost died just delivering the goods."

Du Wanchun comforted him and said, "I don't blame you for this. The most important thing now is to heal the injury first. Shopkeeper Zhou will need you to help the village in the future."

Shopkeeper Bo's empty and lost eyes gradually gained expression, and he hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, madam."

In order not to disturb his rest, Du Wanchun asked Mr. Wei to help him into the house to rest.

She turned back to her yard.

In fact, the rice shipped yesterday can be sent to various shops today. Today, she specially let the rice stay in the rice warehouse for one more night, just to see who the borer was in Zhou's shop this week.

As the night progresses.

There was finally movement in the rice warehouse, but it wasn't the rice thief, but the three little carrot heads.

"Eldest brother, second brother, aren't we going out now?"
