Chapter 108 It turns out he was my uncle.
General Mo nodded and treated his eldest son-in-law with great courtesy.
Meanwhile, inside the Zhou family shop.
When it got dark, Du Wanchun followed Zhang Qiuhe to close the shop, and then they took the carriage that Zhou Ruiyuan had brought and returned to the Zhou family together.
Aunt Zhou specially invited Zhang Qiuhe to stay at her home for dinner.
The family had barely sat down when someone knocked on the door outside the courtyard.
Hearing the voice, Aunt Zhou quickly stood up. "Who is it?"
A voice called from outside, "Excuse me, is Madam Zhang home?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou roughly guessed that they were looking for Zhang Qiuhe, so she hurried to the door and peeked out through the crack in the door.
The person outside was quite close; through the crack in the door, one could only see the person's clothes.
Those clothes clearly belong to a wealthy family.
She became wary and asked them, "What business do you have with Madam Zhang?"
The person outside replied, "Madam, we are from the Mo family, and we have come specifically to apologize to Madam Zhang."
Aunt Zhou frowned, puzzled.
She looked towards Zhang Qiuhe and Du Wanchun inside the house and asked in a low voice, "Wanchun, Qiuhe, why are people from the Mo family here?"
Du Wanchun walked over in small steps and said, "Mother, we talked to Miss Mo about Liu Shengyuan today. I guess they came to find Sister Zhang because of this."
Aunt Zhou frowned.
Seeing that there was no response from inside, the person outside continued, "Madam, our general has learned of what Liu Shengyuan has done and is very angry about it. Don't worry, we are not here to cause trouble or confront Madam Zhang. We are here to offer an apology."
“Apologetic gift…” Aunt Zhou muttered to herself.
This does indeed resemble General Mo's style.
However, she was still uneasy and looked at Du Wanchun again.
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mother, don't be afraid. It's broad daylight now, the Mo family wouldn't dare to do anything."
After saying that, he stepped forward and opened the courtyard gate.
A man and a woman were standing outside the courtyard. One was a woman wearing a red ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), and the other was a man wearing a blue shangshi (a type of long gown).
The man was probably under thirty, but he was much more mature than his peers, with a small beard that made him stand out.
However, what's even more surprising is that the man looks somewhat similar to Aunt Zhou.
Du Wanchun asked the two of them, "And who are you two?"
The woman in red was quite plump, and with her eyes crinkled in a smile, she said, "I am the eldest daughter of the Mo family, and this is my husband."
She pointed to the man beside her as she spoke.
When Aunt Zhou looked up, her eyes met those of the man outside the door, and both of them were instantly stunned.
Du Wanchun called out softly to Aunt Zhou, "Mother, what's wrong?"
Aunt Zhou's eyes were fixed on the man.
The man also stared intently at her.
The woman in red standing nearby also sensed something was wrong. "Husband, what's wrong?"
The man, pulling the woman in red along, strode into the house, then slammed the courtyard gate shut, uttering words that shocked everyone, "Second Sister..."
Aunt Zhou's eyes instantly reddened, and she quickly lowered her head to glance at Zhang Qiuhe inside the house.
The man immediately calmed down and turned to the woman in red beside him, saying, "My lady, this is an old friend of mine from the capital."
Miss Mo immediately understood that the person whom her husband called "Second Sister" was none other than the former Second Miss of the Lu family, the former Empress.
She was instantly stunned, looking at the empress dressed as a peasant woman from left to right, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Who would have thought that the once pampered and beautiful Empress would now be a peasant woman with slightly yellow skin, wearing a gray long gown?
However, upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to discern her striking features and unique temperament, which she tries so hard to conceal.
At this moment, Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng also came out.
"Mother, Wanchun, who's here?"
As Zhou Ruiyuan spoke, he looked at the person who had come, and when he saw the man, he was stunned.
Zhou Zhao jogged out and couldn't help but call out, "Uncle!"
Du Wanchun, who was listening nearby, instantly understood that the eldest son-in-law of the Mo family was actually her mother-in-law's younger brother.
Zhou Da Niang's younger brother was originally named Lu Yan. After being rescued by General Han's confidant, he came to the border, changed his name and surname, and received the protection and care of General Mo.
Later, he married the eldest daughter of the Mo family, and they had a daughter who is now just over a year old.
Over the years, Zhou Da Niang's younger brother has never forgotten the hatred in his family. He has been leading troops in battles outside the Great Wall, just like before. He has become a deputy general in the army and has his own confidants.
