Mianmian stood up with bare feet and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, I know that my father and mother plan to go back to Changliu Village to live in seclusion in the future. It just so happens that I want to go too. Then our family will be together as before."

Du Wanchun's nose felt sore, and he put his arms around Lian Lian's shoulders. His tone was full of tenderness, "It's okay, but you and Qing'er must be careful when traveling."

Mianmian raised her head, full of fighting spirit, "Mom, don't worry. Since I was kidnapped last time, I have learned some self-defense skills from Mr. Qingyang. Most people can't give me a hard time."

Du Wanchun saw how excited she was this time and couldn't refuse. He thought, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and they can't control the children's affairs, so they can leave it to them.

She pulled Mianmian and said, "Since you don't want to make wedding clothes, then my mother will buy you some new clothes."

Mianmian followed her obediently, "Then make one for sister Wan'er."

Du Wanchun smiled and replied: "Of course, I will also choose some jewelry for your sister Wan'er."

Cheng Wan'er had entered the palace as the crown princess a month ago. Du Wanchun treated this eldest daughter-in-law like his own daughter, just like Aunt Zhou treated her.

Whether it's food or clothing, if Mianmian has a share, she has a share. ?.?????.ℂ??

Cheng Wan'er now has a loving husband, a mother-in-law who loves her, and a sister-in-law who is as close to her as a sister. She can be said to be the happiest girl in the Cheng family.

The female embroiderer Du Wanchun found was named Mo. She was the best embroiderer in the capital. She was originally going to make wedding dresses for Mianmian, but now she could only make a few gorgeous dresses for her and Cheng Wan'er.

After measuring the two of them, it was already evening.

Du Wanchun left the two of them in his palace to have dinner.

"Wan'er, how has Yi'er treated you recently?" Du Wanchun always spoke directly, asking the maid to serve tea to Cheng Wan'er while asking her.

Cheng Wan'er lowered his head, blushed with embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Your Highness treats me very well."

Du Wanchun saw her flushed face and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Yi'er would become like Zhou Ruiyuan's father in the future, who was half-hearted and abandoned his wife and children.

Fortunately, her and Zhou Ruiyuan's education over the years was not in vain.

Yi'er is also a man who loves his wife and is devoted to his country.

While they were chatting, Eunuch Zhang came.

Eunuch Zhang has been following Zhou Ruiyuan since he recovered from his illness. If he suddenly came to Du Wanchun today, there must be something big going on.

Du Wanchun asked him: "Eunuch Zhang, why did you come to see me?"

Eunuch Zhang said slowly: "Empress, Your Majesty would like to invite you to come."

Seeing his panic, Du Wanchun quickly stood up and said, "Okay, I'll go now."

She stood up quickly.

Mianmian stood up and said, "Mother, do you want us to go with you?"

Du Wanchun turned around and said, "You stay here with my sister-in-law. I'll come and take a look."

"Mother..." Mianmian wanted to say something else, but Cheng Wan'er persuaded her to stop.

Du Wanchun followed Eunuch Zhang to Zhou Ruiyuan's palace.

At this time, Zhou Feng was also there.

Du Wanchun saw that the two of them looked wrong, and his heart sank, "Ruiyuan, second brother, what happened?"

Zhou Ruiyuan was looking down at the letter when he heard Du Wanchun's voice and turned to look at her, "Wanchun, the food in Cheng'an County has been burned."

Du Wanchun was shocked. She had not felt anything happened in Cheng'an County these days.

Zhou Ruiyuan was also very confused about this, "Just three days ago, the fire burned for three days and three nights. The fire was so powerful that it could not be extinguished."

It's just spring now, and the grain in the granary is all harvested last year.

If all the food was burned this time, the Zhou family's rice shops all over the country would not be able to supply rice.

Zhou Feng also looked ugly, "The rice shop cannot do business because it is a small business, because it is afraid that the food supply will not be available and the people will starve."

Most of the Xuanyue Kingdom's food now comes from the Zhou family. The Zhou family has no rice and the people cannot buy food, so they will naturally go hungry.

Du Wanchun walked in slowly and persuaded them: "Don't worry, we can think of other ways."

Zhou Feng let out a long sigh and said: "My eldest brother and I want to use money to buy rice elsewhere, so we should fill up the rice shop first. However, we cannot put all the money of the Zhou family into the rice shop. This will fall into their trap and make money Two empty.”

Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng were right to worry. Today they set fire to their rice warehouse, which forced them to use money to fill it.

Once all the money of the Zhou family is spent, it will be difficult to resist if something goes wrong in the future.

Du Wanchun raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Ruiyuan, "Ruiyuan, do you remember the key that the Lu family's butler left for us in the past."

Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly remembered, "The key is still in my hand."

Du Wanchun said sternly: "Let's open the treasury left by the Lu family and see how much silver is in it. Then we will use the money to go to Beidi and Chengzhou to buy rice. For the time being, we will donate the rice from the rice shop."

Zhou Ruiyuan was still a little worried: "Can Beidi and Chengzhou have so much rice to sell to us?"

Du Wanchun said with certainty: "As long as you have enough silver, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy rice."

After hearing this, Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng fell into deep thought.

Du Wanchun asked again: "Have you found out who did it?"
