Chapter 296 Refusing to Leave
I thought the rain would stop soon, but it just kept getting heavier and heavier.
Soon she was completely soaked in the rain.
Aunt Zhou peeked through the crack in the door while holding an umbrella, then went inside and said to Du Wanchun, "This woman is really something else; she didn't even get up despite the heavy rain."
Du Wanchun handed her a cup of tea. "Mother, if we don't take care of her, she won't last long."
Aunt Zhou took the teacup and nodded in agreement, "That's right."
Sure enough, as the rain showed no signs of stopping, Mengru couldn't keep up the act any longer. She quickly got up from the ground, found a place with eaves, squatted down, and pitifully cried again.
Not long after, the Third Prince and Wei Xun returned.
Mengru looked up and saw the two people, but her gaze quickly fell on Wei Xun.
Wei Xun was handsome and had an extraordinary bearing. A shrewd woman like her could immediately see that he was no ordinary person.
The Third Prince walked to the door and, seeing the woman, asked in confusion, "Who are you? What are you doing at my doorstep?"
Mengru put on a pitiful look and replied, "Sir, I'm here to see Zhou Zhao."
The Third Prince was taken aback, his brows furrowing.
At this moment, Aunt Zhou hurriedly called out to them, "Don't mind her, she's a liar."
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince immediately understood what was going on, and then pushed open the door and walked into the house.
Wei Xun followed behind him.
When Mengru saw Wei Xun approaching, she immediately covered her head and collapsed into his arms, crying out, "Young Master, please save my life!"
Wei Xun's face darkened, and he took her in his hands.
Upon seeing this, Mengru immediately thought she had hope, and cried with tears in her eyes, "I am truly not a liar. I am just a young woman who has traveled thousands of miles to find him, just to stand up for the child in my womb. I cannot let your Zhou family bloodline be lost to the outside world."
Wei Xun remained expressionless and didn't say a word; he simply picked her up.
Mengru was immediately excited, her heart pounding. Her mind was already filled with thoughts of how this young master had fallen for her and how she had entered the Zhou family adorned with gold and silver.
Just as she was smiling and thought she would be carried into the courtyard, Wei Xun suddenly raised his hand and threw her backward.
There was a loud clang.
Mengru fell into the pool, and she curled up in pain.
"Young Master?!" She sat up in confusion and looked at Wei Xun.
Wei Xun closed the door with a cold expression.
At this moment, Mengru was so angry that she stomped her feet.
After entering the room, Wei Xun immediately changed his clothes with a look of disgust.
Madam Wu came over and asked, "That woman hasn't left yet?"
Wei Xun nodded. "He didn't leave."
Madam Wu frowned and said, "She's really troublesome."
Wei Xun looked up and said, "No rush, I won't be able to hold on for another two days."
Less than two days later, two hours later, the woman obediently left.
After seeing the people outside leave, Aunt Wang exclaimed with delight, "That woman is finally gone!"
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou slowly said, "I think that woman won't give up easily."
"Really?" Aunt Wang looked surprised. "This woman has such a thick skin?"
Aunt Zhou knew this kind of woman best. Back in the palace, many people shamelessly tried to see the emperor.
These are nothing; sometimes they wouldn't even risk their lives.
Just as Aunt Zhou had thought, Mengru did not leave Changliu Village after leaving, but went to the county government to report to the authorities.
She just didn't expect that the magistrate of this small county was also a member of the Zhou family.
When Zhou Ruiyuan heard someone beating a drum to appeal for justice, saying that they were going to pass on a message to his Zhou family, he wondered who it could be. When he arrived at the yamen, he found that it was actually a woman.
This woman never imagined that after all her twists and turns, she would still end up in their hands. She had miscalculated.
