Chapter 314 A Family Matchmakers Bring the Prince Together
After being slapped, Boss Gao burst into tears.
Grandma Gao seemed to have thought of something, "That woman surnamed Miao seems to own land and a house now, why don't we go to her place!"
The eldest son cried even harder, “Mother, please don’t go. I happened to pass by her house a few days ago when I was begging. Now the children don’t recognize me, and she doesn’t recognize me either. She said if I bother her again, she will take me to the authorities.”
“Last time at the county government office, Lord Zhou said that if I dared to make another mistake, he would exile me to Nanzhou. At that time, I would not only be a beggar, but I would also lose my life before I even left the city.”
Upon hearing this, Old Mrs. Gao stamped her feet in regret, exclaiming, "What a terrible thing to do! Oh dear!"
Just then, a passerby tossed over half a half-eaten steamed bun.
Gao Laoda didn't have time to cry anymore and quickly went to grab the steamed buns.
When Du Wanchun took the children out on the street, she could occasionally see the two beggars.
After returning from the market, Du Wanchun had just entered the house when she heard Aunt Zhou say with a smile, "Wanchun, good news, great news!"
"What's the good news?" Du Wanchun asked with a smile as she led the child into the house.
Aunt Zhou pulled Madam Wu to Du Wanchun's side, "Madam Wu is pregnant again."
Upon hearing this, Du Wanchun exclaimed, "That's wonderful!"
After saying that, he smiled at Xiao Qing'er, whom he was holding hands with, and said, "You're going to have a little brother and a little sister soon."
Even the usually expressionless Qing'er smiled and ran up to Madam Wu, asking, "Mother~ I'm going to have a little brother and a little sister?!"
Wu Niangzi nodded, feeling unwell.
Nan Fengling came out from inside. She was several months pregnant and her belly was already slightly protruding.
"That's perfect, I can come along."
Aunt Zhou looked at the pregnant women in the family and smiled broadly.
As she laughed, Aunt Zhou suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked up at Du Wanchun, "It seems that Ruiyuan hasn't been coming back much lately. You and him?"
Du Wanchun quickly smiled and said, "Mother, you're overthinking it. Ruiyuan and I are doing very well. He's just busy with official duties, which is why he doesn't come back often."
In fact, Zhou Ruiyuan comes back every day, but he always stays here.
He would return home every night and leave again before dawn.
Du Wanchun didn't know how to tell Aunt Zhou, so she didn't mention it.
Aunt Zhou laughed and said, "That's good. I was just worried that now that Ruiyuan has become a minor official, he might follow those people and take concubines or something."
Nan Fengling came over and said, "Mother, don't worry, my eldest brother only has eyes for my sister-in-law and will never take a concubine."
After hearing this, Aunt Zhou felt relieved. "That's right. Everyone's here today. I'll go to the kitchen and make you some sweet soup."
Both Nan Fengling and Du Wanchun love to drink sweet soup.
Aunt Zhou wasn't very good at cooking, but seeing that her two daughters-in-law liked to eat, she learned how to cook. Every day she would cook them either white fungus soup, mung bean soup, goat milk peach gum, rock sugar bird's nest, and so on. As long as it was something good, she would cook it for them.
While Aunt Zhou went to the kitchen, Nan Fengling pulled Du Wanchun and Madam Wu together and said, "Sister-in-law, Sister Wu, our parents have always lived in separate rooms. Why don't we hold a small wedding for them?"
To outsiders, Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince were husband and wife, but those close to them knew what was between them.
Nan Fengling felt that the problem was a lack of marriage arrangements.
Two people must perform the husband-wife bow to become a true husband and wife.
However, Du Wanchun felt that there was still a knot in their hearts between the two.
They haven't yet broken through the barrier; their feelings for each other haven't been understood.
However, we can still consider what Nanfengling suggested.
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "How about this? The autumn harvest is over, so let's go boating on the river."
"A pleasure boat?" Nan Fengling and Wu Niangzi asked in confusion.
Du Wanchun nodded. "We can find a big boat, drink tea and enjoy the breeze on it, and take a break."
Wu Niangzi had never been on a boat before, and she found it very strange.
Nan Fengling had been cooped up at home for so long and really wanted to go.
Seeing that they all agreed, Du Wanchun readily agreed and told Aunt Zhou about it when she came out.
Aunt Zhou was worried that Nan Fengling and Madam Wu were pregnant.
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mother, the boat won't move; we'll just stay close to the shore."
Aunt Zhou thought it was a good idea and nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll listen to you."
