Chapter 286 The Two Cooperate
The two had met before and knew each other's identities, but now they were just pretending not to know.
After the princess was taken away, the two went to the county government office and closed the doors and windows.
Wei Xun bowed to Zhou Ruiyuan again and said, "My lord, I have no way to repay the kindness your family has shown to my wife and me."
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "Your Highness, please don't stand on ceremony with me. You are a prince of the Northern Di, how can I accept such a great courtesy from you?"
Wei Xun stood up and said, "I might as well give up being a prince; in the end, I'm nothing but a puppet."
Now that the Northern Barbarians are controlled by powerful ministers, Wei Xun is indeed like a puppet.
Zhou Ruiyuan shook his head and said, "No, you are still a prince after all. Right now, you are the only prince in the Northern Di Kingdom who has any real power. Why would you hand over the throne to someone else?"
Wei Xun's gaze sharpened. "What do you mean?"
Zhou Ruiyuan continued, "Isn't the princess in our hands now? Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of anyone you find an eyesore?"
Wei Xun asked solemnly, "What are your opinions, Lord Zhou?"
Zhou Ruiyuan took out paper and pen and wrote a few words on the paper.
After reading it, Wei Xun suddenly understood, "Why did Lord Zhou help me?"
Zhou Ruiyuan replied with a smile, "Of course I won't help you for no reason. I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperate with me?" Wei Xun asked doubtfully.
Zhou Ruiyuan turned around and sat down. "I will help you get rid of the people you want to get rid of. If I return to the capital in the future, you will send troops to help me. From then on, our two countries will be on good terms."
Upon hearing this, Wei Xun's eyes widened slightly. Looking at the sudden oppressive feeling that had arisen earlier, he involuntarily lowered his head. "Okay, I promise you."
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled, burned the paper on the table, and then slowly got up to pour him a cup of tea.
Inside the Zhou family home in Changliu Village.
Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince are waiting at home for news from Zhou Ruiyuan and Wei Xun.
Du Wanchun and Granny Zhuang helped take care of Madam Wu.
Madam Wu can now barely walk, but Doctor Xu still advises her to stay in bed and rest more.
At this time, the children were all sleeping inside the house.
Just as Du Wanchun was about to serve medicine to Madam Wu, Xiao Mianmian arrived. She stood up, holding Xiao Qing'er's hand in her little hand.
Xiao Qing'er has almost recovered, but she is still very sleepy.
He noticed someone holding his hand, opened his eyes slightly, looked ahead, and saw Xiao Mianmian, whose soft little face showed a gentle smile.
Seeing this, Du Wanchun picked up Xiao Mianmian and placed her next to Xiao Qing'er.
Both children were very happy and soon burst out laughing.
Hearing the sound, Madam Wu, who was standing nearby, sat up and quickly took the medicine that Du Wanchun brought her. "Sister Wanchun, thank you for your hard work."
Du Wanchun sat down beside her and said slowly, "Sister Wu, drink your medicine first."
Madam Wu drank the medicine in one gulp, then turned to Du Wanchun gratefully and said, "If it weren't for your medicine this time, I'm afraid I would be dead already..."
Du Wanchun comforted her, saying, "It's nothing, just a small favor. However, Sister Wu, as your younger sister, I still want to remind you that we are all mothers now, and we can't be too weak-willed, otherwise our children will suffer."
Madam Wu nodded emphatically, "Yes, it was my oversight this time. I will be more careful in the future and will not let those wicked people harm my Qing'er again."
Du Wanchun nodded when she heard her say that.
At this moment, Xiao Mianmian and Xiao Qing'er got tired from playing and fell asleep leaning against each other.
She didn't disturb their rest any longer and got up to leave.
