Zhou Feng also began to be cautious in the capital. He paid great attention to the disguise on his face every day and would not go to the palace if he could.
Fortunately, he had a caravan traveling to Cheng'an County. In order to avoid arousing suspicion, he specially sent two young men who liked to gossip back.
So as soon as his caravan arrived, all the things in the palace were spread.
Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou naturally learned about this.
Aunt Zhou couldn't help but have a sad look on her face, "Wangchun, Ruiyuan, what should we do? Do you think he will find us?"
After Du Wanchun thought for a moment, he said, "Mom, don't panic. What we have to do now is live a good life as usual. The more panicked, the easier it is to be discovered."
Aunt Zhou nodded.
Over the years, they have encountered such things not once or twice. With Du Wanchun's comfort, her face became much better. ?.?????.???
Du Wanchun said again: "Mother, as long as we are in Cheng'an County, the emperor will not find us."
Aunt Zhou didn't ask her why. She had always believed in Du Wanchun's words.
At this time, Xiao Mianmian ran in from outside the house and said with a smile: "Mother! Mother~"
Du Wanchun held her in his hands and asked with a smile: "Xiao Mianmian, why are you so happy?"
Xiao Mianmian took out a small fruit from her arms and said, "I picked this on the road. It's delicious."
Du Wanchun took it in his hand and took a sip and said, "It tastes really good. Who picked it for you?"
Seeing that it was revealed, Xiao Mianmian lowered her head and said, "Mr. picked it for me."
Du Wanchun asked her, "Is this the new female teacher in your school?"
Xiao Mianmian nodded, "That's right!"
Du Wanchun thought for a while and said, "Is your female gentleman from the capital?"
Xiao Mianmian nodded again.
After Du Wanchun put her down, he said, "Tomorrow, I will take you to school."
Xiao Mianmian was very happy, clapped her hands and said: "That's great, mother will send me to school tomorrow~"
Aunt Zhou looked at the children's smiles, and the gloom just now was swept away. She listened to Du Wanchun and lived a good life as usual.
Take it one day at a time.
Not long after, the third prince brought in the boiled tea eggs.
"Wangchun, Zhou'er, come and try the tea eggs I made."
In recent years, the appearance of the third prince in Cheng'an County has also become much gentler. He no longer has the majesty that he used to do in the past, and is only approachable and gentle.
Aunt Zhou looked at his smiling face, and her heart was filled with relief.
Fortunately, she and Ruiyuan were not killed by assassins back then. Otherwise, how could they have met such good people?
Every day she lives now feels like she has earned it, and she must cherish every minute and every second.
The next day, Du Wanchun sent his three children to school early.
As soon as Xiao Mianmian left the door of Zhou Mansion, Liu An and Zhang Quan followed them. They both had swords in their hands, which looked impressive.
Du Wanchun came to the school and met the female teacher.
The female gentleman looked surprised when he saw Du Wanchun, "Shopkeeper Du."
Du Wanchun also recognized her at a glance.
She had met this woman several times in the past when she was helping Zhou Feng look after the shop in the capital.
Her surname is not Qu at all, her surname is Ruan.
That's right, it's Lord Ruan's niece who presented Daochang Zeng to the emperor this time.
Miss Ruan's father is Master Ruan's brother.
However, her father died early, and she stayed in her uncle's house.
She looks somewhat similar to her cousin, Miss Ruan Er, so she is often mistaken for Miss Ruan Er.
This time, she did leave the capital to escape from marriage.
Master Ruan is getting the favor of the Holy Spirit and wants to send his daughter to the palace so that he can give birth to a prince for the emperor.
However, he was reluctant to let his daughter endure hardship, so he decided to let his niece enter the palace instead of his daughter.
After Miss Ruan learned about this, she left the capital overnight and secretly came to Qingzhou Mansion. Unexpectedly, she met the fifth prince here.
Later, she became a female teacher in the academy.
Zhou Quan did not tell her the identity of the Zhou family.
He made up a story, saying that after leaving the palace and being desperate, he was adopted as an adopted son by the Zhou family. Now he married his favorite wife here and did not want to return to the palace, so he hoped that she could help him hide his identity.
Miss Ruan is a kind-hearted person. In order to thank Zhou Quan for taking him in, she kept her identity secret.
She didn't even tell Du Wanchun.
Now that Du Wanchun came to her, she was really surprised.
Du Wanchun intentionally or unintentionally told Miss Ruan about Mr. Ruan's introduction to the emperor, Zeng Daozhang.
Unexpectedly, Miss Ruan's face looked strange. She turned her head away, as if she didn't want to mention this person again.
Du Wanchun was so different that he immediately asked, "Miss Ruan, do you know this Taoist Zeng?"
Miss Ruan didn't want to hide it, "Yes, I know him. In the past, he was just a poor boy who showed people Feng Shui. I brought him to my uncle."
"But then why did you come to Cheng'an County while he was rising rapidly?" Du Wanchun asked doubtfully.
A helpless smile appeared on Miss Ruan's face, "I am just the first step in his ascent."
