Chapter 227 Picked up a strange man
Two or three days later, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan secretly came to the mansion, found the box that Aunt Zhou had mentioned, and then found a letter inside.
The letter was likely written by Consort Liu back then.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan held it in their hands and looked at it, learning the shocking secret from back then.
It turns out that the late emperor did not die from disease, but from poisoning.
The person who poisoned her is none other than the current Consort Duan.
It seems that the emperor was also involved in this matter.
Zhou Ruiyuan quickly put the letter away and said to Du Wanchun, "Let's pretend we don't know about this letter."
Du Wanchun replied with a smile, "Don't worry, husband, I understand."
It's not the right time to make this letter public yet; keeping it hidden is better for both of them.
Three days later.
The wedding of Zhou Feng and Miss Han was held as scheduled. After their wedding, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan, without waiting for Zhou Feng, immediately took a carriage and headed towards Qingzhou Prefecture.
On their way, they heard about the Wu family, that the sixth young lady and the lady of the Wu family had both developed hysteria.
Before long, rumors spread in the capital that the Wu family had committed many crimes, which was why they had suffered this fate.
As a result, Mr. Wu became despondent and never recovered.
When Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan heard about this, both of them had smiles on their faces.
Ten days later, the two returned to Changliu Village.
The three little children in the family burst into tears as soon as they saw Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan.
Aunt Zhou handed the baby to Du Wanchun and said with a smile, "Look, the children miss their parents."
Du Wanchun held Xiao Mianmian and comforted her. Before long, the little baby laughed out loud.
The other two boys, held by Zhou Ruiyuan, cried even louder.
Du Wanchun handed Xiao Mianmian back to Aunt Zhou and held the other two children in her arms.
The two little children, with their round eyes wide open, rubbed against Du Wanchun with a pitiful expression.
"Yi'er, Yu'er, Mommy's back." Du Wanchun held one in each arm and coaxed them softly.
The two of them seemed to understand, and they truly stopped crying.
After calming the children down, Du Wanchun went inside.
After entering the house, Du Wanchun told Aunt Zhou about the letter.
Aunt Zhou was not surprised. She sighed and said, "If I had known this would happen, I would never have gone to the palace."
How much affection can a person who murders his own father possibly have for his own child?
She bent down and fed the little baby in her hand some porridge.
Du Wanchun stood up and said, "Mother, we are planning to open a Zhou Family Rice Shop in the capital as well."
Aunt Zhou laughed and said, "That's fine too. I just happened to buy a few more plots of land."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Alright, Mother, I'll write to my second brother right away and ask him to get the shop up and running."
Aunt Zhou nodded and said, "Yes."
Both Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan were exhausted after traveling for more than ten days.
They ate dinner early and went to bed.
The next morning, Du Wanchun was playing with Xiao Mianmian in the yard when she heard a dog barking outside the door.
She handed the child to Madam Wu and got up to look at it.
A young man was lying on his back by the door.
Du Wanchun hurriedly called out to Madam Wu, "Sister Wu, come and see, there's someone lying here."
Wu Niangzi, holding her two children, rushed over to take a look, and was startled when she saw the man on the ground.
"Isn't this my husband?" Mrs. Wu exclaimed in surprise.
Du Wanchun asked in surprise, "You mean, Qing'er's father?"
Madam Wu nodded and said, "That's right."
She quickly handed the two items to Du Wanchun, squatted down, helped the woman up, and noticed that the man had an injury on his forehead.
"Husband! Wake up! Husband!"
The man was unconscious with his eyes closed.
Seeing the man's luxurious attire, Du Wanchun couldn't help but become suspicious and asked, "Sister Wu, where is your husband from? How come he suddenly appeared here?"
Madam Wu shook her head and said, "I don't know..."
Seeing that she couldn't explain herself, Du Wanchun quickly took the child and went to find Doctor Xu.
Doctor Xu carried the man inside, then examined his injuries. After a long while, he said, "This young master's injuries are not serious, but he has lost too much blood. He will probably be unconscious for three or four days before waking up. Give him this medicine."
As he spoke, he put down the bottle of medicine he was holding.
Wu Niangzi quickly took it and fed it to the man on the bed.
Du Wanchun got up and saw Doctor Xu out.
When he returned, he reassured Madam Wu, saying, "Sister Wu, don't worry, he'll be fine."
With tears welling up in her eyes, Madam Wu cried as she said, "He suddenly disappeared before, and now he's reappeared so badly injured. I don't know if he even cares about me."
Du Wanchun comforted him, saying, "The fact that I came back to find you means I care about you."
