Chapter 241 The Way of Husband and Wife: Longing
Aunt Zhou pulled him aside and said with a smile, "Being a third-place scholar is good, being the magistrate of Cheng'an County is also good, and it's close to home."
Du Wanchun also asked, "Husband, when are you going to take up your post at the county government?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied, "Let's rest for a bit today and go again tomorrow."
Du Wanchun smiled and nodded.
At this moment, the Third Prince said, "Ruiyuan is currently serving in Cheng'an County. Should our whole family move there?"
Aunt Zhou shook her head and said, "No need. It's close to Cheng'an County, and we need someone to look after all these fields."
The Third Prince laughed and said, "That's fine, we can just prepare a few more carriages at home."
Aunt Zhou smiled and nodded.
After chatting together as a family, Zhou Ruiyuan and Du Wanchun couldn't wait to return to their room.
As soon as they entered the room, Zhou Ruiyuan pressed Du Wanchun against the door and kissed her lips.
His kisses are usually very light and gentle, but this time they were very domineering and urgent, as if he couldn't get enough of them.
Du Wanchun reached out and hooked her arm around his neck, returning his kiss.
The two poured all their longing from these past days into this kiss.
Zhou Ruiyuan grabbed her waist and carried her to the bed, where the two embraced.
"Have Mianmian, Yi'er, and Yu'er been obedient these days?" Zhou Ruiyuan kissed her ear, his voice deep and gentle, making her heart warm.
Du Wanchun buried her face in his chest and hugged him, saying, "They're very obedient. Since you left, the three of them haven't cried or made a fuss, and have never given me any trouble."
Zhou Ruiyuan gently stroked her long hair and kissed her forehead lightly. "Wanchun, come live with me at the county government office. We'll buy two more maids to take care of you."
Du Wanchun looked up at him and smiled, "No need, we're doing quite well in Changliu Village. It just so happens that Aunt Wang and the others are helping us make incense."
Zhou Ruiyuan gently moved the hand that had been stroking her hair to her back and said softly, "I will come back every night from now on."
Du Wanchun thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, we can go to the county together during the day. I'll go to the shop, and you can go to the county government office. Then we can come back together in the evening."
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled and replied, "That's right."
As he finished speaking, his eyes gradually reddened, and he looked at Du Wanchun with shyness.
"My lord, it's still early."
"It's getting late."
Zhou Ruiyuan held her ten fingers together and pressed her palms against the top of her head.
Seeing that she couldn't go against her husband's wishes, Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Then you mustn't bully me."
Zhou Ruiyuan's breathing quickened. "Yeah, don't worry, I won't bully you."
After saying that, he kissed her lips again.
The two stayed in the room for more than an hour until it got dark and they prepared to have dinner.
Du Wanchun no longer believed men's lies.
He said he wouldn't bully her, but he still left a lot of marks on her body.
She came out of the room wearing a dress with a slightly higher hem.
Aunt Zhou had already prepared the meal outside.
Madam Wu and Wei Xun had already taken their child to sit at the table.
Du Wanchun sat down next to Granny Zhuang.
Granny Zhuang hugged Mianmian and laughed, "Wanchun, this little girl Mianmian can really eat. She finished the rice porridge I just cooked in no time."
Du Wanchun held Mianmian in her arms, saying, "Mianmian has indeed gained quite a bit of weight recently."
Little Mianmian is now over six months old. She has chubby cheeks and her forearms are as thick as lotus roots.
Granny Zhuang smiled and said, "Being able to eat is a blessing. Our little Mianmian will definitely be a lucky girl in the future."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Of course."
At this moment, Zhou Ruiyuan slowly came out of the house. He had also changed his clothes and looked much more refreshed than when he came in.
When everyone saw him arrive, they quickly stood up and said, "The magistrate has arrived."
Zhou Ruiyuan quickly waved his hand and said, "We're all family, no need to be so polite."
Only after hearing what he said did the others slowly sit down.
Just then, Zhou Ruiyuan happened to see Wei Xun sitting next to Madam Wu and exclaimed in surprise, "What are you doing here?!"
Wei Xun, who was eating, looked at Zhou Ruiyuan with a puzzled expression.
The others were also surprised, as they thought it was the first time the two had met.
Du Wanchun asked Zhou Ruiyuan, "Husband, this is Madam Wu's husband, do you know him?"
Zhou Ruiyuan snapped out of his daze and said, "I don't recognize him. He looked vaguely familiar, so I mistook him for someone else."
The previously tense crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
Madam Wu smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, this is my husband, but he was injured some time ago and doesn't remember some things."
Zhou Ruiyuan's gaze darkened slightly as he replied, "So this is Qing'er's father."
Madam Wu looked down at the child in her arms and said, "Yes, he is indeed Qing'er's father."
Zhou Ruiyuan's gaze deepened.
After dinner, Du Wanchun sensed something was wrong and went to Zhou Ruiyuan to ask, "Husband, do you know Madam Wu's husband?"
Zhou Ruiyuan glanced at the door, closed it, and said, "Yes, I do know him."
Du Wanchun's face lit up with joy. "Then who is he?"
Zhou Ruiyuan slowly said, "The prince of the Northern Di Kingdom..."
