Chapter 135 is here to deliver a child.
The woman was wearing a green dress, her head was down, and her eyes were slightly red.
Zhou Zhao and Zhou Ruiyuan were both startled.
"Sister-in-law, isn't this Manager Liu? What's she doing in our shop?" Zhou Zhao asked in surprise.
Du Wanchun pulled Liu Niangzi to her side and said with a smile, "It's like this, I was worried that Madam Li would come to retaliate against Manager Liu again, so I specially arranged for her to sleep in our shop these past few nights."
Zhou Zhao suddenly realized, "Oh, I see! That's great!"
Lady Liu looked at Du Wanchun with gratitude, "I really have to thank Wanchun this time. If it weren't for Wanchun, I would probably have died in the fire tonight."
As she spoke, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Du Wanchun handed her a cup of tea and said, "Madam Liu, you don't need to be so polite. It was just a coincidence. But what do you plan to do next, Madam Liu?"
Lady Liu looked up at her and said, "It's good that they think I'm dead now. I'll leave here in a few days and go to the capital to find my sister."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Does Madam Liu and my sister have a very good relationship?"
Lady Liu nodded. "That's right."
Du Wanchun then asked, "Which government office does your sister work in in the capital? I can have my second brother inquire about it for you."
Lady Liu shook her head and said, "I don't know where she works, but I know she was bought by Lord Wu, and she might still be with the Wu family now."
Du Wanchun nodded slightly as she listened, and then said, "My second brother knows people from the Wu family, but I don't think I've ever heard of any maids or concubines with the surname Liu in the Wu family."
Lady Liu became puzzled. "No, my sister mentioned in her letter that she would come looking for me if she left the Wu family."
Du Wanchun lowered her eyes slightly and deliberately said, "Could something have happened to her? Otherwise, why didn't she come looking for you?"
Upon hearing this, Lady Liu's expression changed.
She quickly grabbed Du Wanchun's hand and said, "Wanchun, you said your second brother is in the capital, right?"
Du Wanchun nodded.
Lady Liu quickly took out a letter from her bosom and said, "My sister wrote me a letter three years ago, saying that if anything happened to her one day, she should send this to General Han in the capital."
"I am a weak woman, and I cannot reach the capital in time, even if I travel thousands of miles. Wanchun, could you please ask your second brother to help me deliver this letter to General Han?"
Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun looked at the letter together, their eyes filled with surprise and joy.
Du Wanchun took the letter in her hand. "Okay, I'll let my second brother know in a few days."
Lady Liu was quite frightened that night. After giving the letter to Du Wanchun, she was pale and still somewhat lost in thought.
Du Wanchun asked her, "What are your plans for the future, Lady Liu?"
After pondering for a moment, Lady Liu sighed and said, "With the shop destroyed, I don't want to stay in Cheng'an County any longer."
Du Wanchun thought for a moment and said, "In that case, why don't you secretly open a shop in Qingzhou Prefecture and make a living there?"
Lady Liu nodded. "I have nowhere else to go, so why don't we go to Qingzhou Prefecture?"
Du Wanchun took out some silver from his pocket and handed it to her as travel expenses.
Lady Liu was extremely grateful and quickly said, "Thank you for helping me. Consider this money a loan, and I will repay you later."
Du Wanchun nodded: "Yes, by the way, Madam Liu, how dare the Sun family commit murder and arson so openly? Do you know what their background is?"
Lady Liu glanced around and said cautiously, "I once heard my sister mention that this young master Sun and Consort Wu were old acquaintances. After Consort Wu entered the palace, she would occasionally have the Sun family send rouge to her."
"An old acquaintance?" Du Wanchun asked in confusion.
Lady Liu whispered in her ear, "It's probably about romantic love. My sister isn't sure either; she only told me. Wanchun, don't tell anyone else."
Du Wanchun replied softly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Lady Liu then continued, "The Sun family has always delivered rouge very regularly, about once every three months. Each time, it is the eldest son of the Sun family who goes in person. I remember my sister once mentioned in a letter that not long after the Sun family started delivering rouge three years ago, Consort Wu became pregnant."
"They even said that this young master of the Sun family might have come here to deliver a child!"
Du Wanchun, Zhou Ruiyuan, and Zhou Zhao were all taken aback.
They didn't want to just glance at it and then not ask any more questions.
Lady Liu quickly covered her mouth, "We must never let anyone hear this, or we'll all be dead."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "It's alright, everyone in this room is one of us."
Only then did Lady Liu feel relieved.
After calming down Lady Liu, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan opened the letter together.
The letter explained how Consort Wu had falsely accused the Empress of poisoning her.
The letter contained few words, but they were written very clearly.
