Chapter 129 is the father of her child.
The Third Prince didn't buy many this time, but instead chose the most expensive white jade hairpin.
The hairpin is shaped like a pear blossom and is very finely crafted.
Then she picked out the same style of white jade bracelet.
I also picked out a pair of pearl earrings.
After handing the package to the shopkeeper, I also bought a pair of green jade butterfly hairpins.
"Pack all of these up for me." The Third Prince generously took out the silver in his hand.
Fortunately, he brought a lot of cash with him when he went out this time.
After all the jewelry was packed up, the Third Prince got into the carriage, handed the white jade set to Aunt Zhou, and then handed the jadeite set to Wanchun.
Du Wanchun was captivated by the pair of lifelike green butterflies.
Zhou Ruiyuan quickly helped her put it on her head.
She was already pretty and lively, and with this green butterfly hairpin, it was as if a splash of color had been added to an ink painting, instantly making her stand out.
Zhou Ruiyuan couldn't take his eyes off his wife and wished he could put her in a sack and take her back right now.
Aunt Zhou, no longer caring about the white jade hairpin in her hand, looked at Du Wanchun and praised her repeatedly, "Wanchun looks really good in this."
While she was speaking, the Third Prince took out the white jade hairpin and gently placed it in Aunt Zhou's hair.
Aunt Zhou had always simply wrapped her head with a maroon cloth strip and had never worn any jewelry.
Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Feng have bought her things these days, but she can't bear to wear them.
The white jade pear blossom hairpin on her head made her look much more noble, and noble without being vulgar. If others saw her, they would only think she was a lady from some family who ate vegetarian food and chanted Buddhist prayers.
Aunt Zhou quickly reached out to take it down.
The Third Prince quickly said, "Wear it, we've already bought it."
Aunt Zhou thought it made sense. Nowadays, they would split their coins in half, so she couldn't bear to throw away something so valuable. She obediently put it on her head.
Afterwards, the Third Prince bought a lot of fabric, round fans, and some trinkets.
As evening approached, the group arrived at their shop.
As soon as they arrived at the shop, they heard a commotion inside.
"It was you, wasn't it?! You seduced my master, didn't you?!" A shrill female voice came from inside the house.
Du Wanchun hurriedly went inside and saw that Magistrate Li's wife was twisting Zhang Xiuhe's ear and scolding her!
Zhang Qiuhe, still holding the child in her arms, cried out in anguish, "Madam, you've made a mistake! Magistrate Li only bought incense from me!"
Madam Li angrily retorted, "Only buying incense? If he bought it once, he'll definitely come back to buy more. You must have used some trick to seduce him!"
Zhang Qiu'er felt extremely wronged, tears streaming down her face. "Madam, you've really made a mistake. Magistrate Li came here to buy incense, and I barely exchanged a few words with him."
Madam Li raised her hand, ready to slap Zhang Qiuhe's face.
Du Wanchun strode in and stopped her, "Stop!"
When Madam Li saw that it was Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou, she said arrogantly, "Oh, it's you again. Why don't you women stay at home and take care of your husbands and children? What are you doing out here doing business?! Don't you have any men at home?"
After saying that, she didn't forget to look at Zhang Qiuhe and say sarcastically, "Or are you deliberately sending women out to do business so that men will come and buy your incense!"
Her words were extremely harsh.
Du Wanchun's eyes turned slightly cold as she prepared to make her move.
The Third Prince suddenly rushed in, picked up a chair from the side, and slammed it heavily to the ground.
A loud bang.
Madam Li was terrified. She stared wide-eyed at the Third Prince, "You...who are you?"
The Third Prince picked up the sharp piece of wood from the ground and pointed it at Madam Li's neck, saying, "You're causing trouble in my shop, and you dare ask who I am?!"
Madam Li shuddered and frowned, saying, "Nonsense! Doesn't this shop belong to the Zhou family widow? What does it have to do with you? And where did you come from, you wild man!"
The Third Prince picked up a wooden stick and slammed it heavily on the table next to Madam Li. "What kind of wild man! I am the father of her child!"
Although the hammer did not hit Madam Li.
However, the sound was so loud that Madam Li was so frightened that her legs went weak and she fell to the ground.
The Third Prince sternly said to her, "This is Zhou Family Shop. My surname is Zhou. Tell me, are you causing trouble in my shop?"
At this moment, Zhang Qiuhe quickly ran to Du Wanchun's side.
Du Wanchun comforted her and asked softly, "What happened?"
Zhang Qiuhe said with red eyes, "Magistrate Li has come here to buy incense a few times. His wife suddenly came looking for me and said that I had seduced her husband, but I did nothing."
At this moment, the proprietress of Hebi Teahouse came over and said, "The magistrate Li wants to take a concubine, but it seems that Madam Li has made a mistake. The magistrate Li wants to take the concubine of Lady Liu from the rouge shop, not Lady Zhang."
Lady Liu was considered a great beauty in Cheng'an County. She had been pursued by a man who was over thirty but still unmarried. It was said that she had an older sister who worked in the capital, which was why she had the money to open a shop in the county.
Magistrate Li and this Lady Liu had some connection; they used to work in the same county. Later, Magistrate Li passed the imperial examination, became an official, and married Lady Liu.
