Chapter 184 He's a Doting Father
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at the child in his arms, shook his head, and smiled, "It's alright, I'll hold him a little longer."
Du Wanchun looked at it and smiled helplessly.
She had never realized before that Zhou Ruiyuan was such a doting father to his daughter; now, whenever he has free time, he holds her tightly and won't let go.
Granny Zhuang came over with a bowl of cooked chicken soup. "Wanchun, come here, Granny Zhuang has brought the chicken soup."
Du Wanchun slowly sat up and smiled at Granny Zhuang, saying, "Thank you for your hard work, Granny."
Granny Zhuang smiled and said, "It's no trouble at all. Come and try the taste!"
Du Wanchun took the soup bowl in her hand.
Granny Zhuang's cooking skills are excellent. Her chicken soup is not greasy at all. It contains red dates and Chinese yam, and tastes very delicious with a hint of sweetness.
Du Wanchun can usually eat two large bowls of rice.
After seeing that she had finished eating, Granny Zhuang smiled and said, "There will be chestnut cakes later, I'll have your mother bring them over for you."
Du Wanchun quickly thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Granny."
Granny Zhuang liked to cook for her, and she was especially happy to see her eating so heartily.
Seeing Du Wanchun's face light up with a smile, he quickly turned around and went back to the kitchen.
As soon as Granny Zhuang left, Magistrate Li arrived.
Aunt Zhou hurriedly went into the house and called to Zhou Ruiyuan, "Ruiyuan, Magistrate Li has arrived."
Zhou Ruiyuan nodded slightly, "Okay, Mother, I'll be right there."
Aunt Zhou walked up to him, wanting to take the child from his arms.
Zhou Ruiyuan stepped aside, dodging her hand, and said, "No need, I can hold her."
Aunt Zhou joked, "Look at you, you're so reluctant to part with your precious daughter."
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled, came to Du Wanchun's side, and pulled the blanket up for her. "It's been cold these past few days, be careful not to catch a cold."
Du Wanchun smiled and nodded, "I understand, husband. You should go now. Magistrate Li rarely comes here to see you. I guess something important has happened."
Zhou Ruiyuan gently kissed her forehead, then carried the child to the front room.
When Magistrate Li saw him arrive, he quickly said, "Ruiyuan, Liu Xiangxiang has been found."
Zhou Ruiyuan was delighted to hear this and slowly walked towards him, asking, "Where is she?"
Magistrate Li said solemnly, "She came to my residence looking for her sister."
Zhou Ruiyuan suddenly realized, "Just as Wanchun said, she will definitely come to find her sister."
Magistrate Li frowned and continued, "There's just one thing that I find a little strange."
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "Go ahead."
Magistrate Li lowered his voice and said, "My wife originally wanted to ask her sister about the details of what happened back then, but Liu Xiangxiang was very agitated and wouldn't let her sister speak, saying it would bring trouble upon herself."
Zhou Ruiyuan's gaze also darkened. "It seems she knows something else."
Magistrate Li nodded, "That's what I thought too, but she wouldn't say. My wife was afraid she would just leave, so she's keeping her in the manor now."
Zhou Ruiyuan pondered, "You're right. Consort Wu has already entered the Cold Palace. Logically, she shouldn't be so afraid, unless the person she's afraid of still holds a high position of power."
Magistrate Li then asked, "So, could that person be the Emperor?"
Zhou Ruiyuan was taken aback. The matter concerning the Lu family was arranged by the Emperor. Could it be that the Emperor also arranged for his mother to be banished to the Cold Palace?
Is he really that heartless? After committing such a heinous act, he pretends nothing happened?
So why do you want to find them now?
Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Zhou Ruiyuan felt a warmth in his hand.
He quickly looked down and discovered that the little girl in his arms had peed.
Magistrate Li, who was standing nearby, also saw it and quickly stood up, saying, "Ruiyuan! Her?! Her?"
Zhou Ruiyuan didn't mind at all, picked up the child and quickly said, "Lord Li, let me go change the child's clothes first."
After saying that, he strode into the house.
When Du Wanchun saw him rushing in carrying the child, she asked, "Husband, what's wrong?"
Zhou Ruiyuan placed the baby in the cradle and said, "Mianmian peed."
After he finished speaking, he skillfully changed the child's diaper and clothes.
These days, Zhou Ruiyuan has been taking care of his daughter personally, so he's already quite adept at it.
After changing the baby's clothes, Zhou Ruiyuan turned around and told Du Wanchun what Magistrate Li had said earlier.
After pondering for a while, Du Wanchun said, "Husband, I have a good idea."
