Chapter 343 Taking the opportunity to rescue people
Rongfu became increasingly unrestrained in his speech, continuing in a rambling manner: "That night, she kept begging me to let her go. She said that the baby in her belly could already move its arms and legs and would be born like a normal baby in a few months."
"But I didn't let her go. I took the rope in my hand and strangled her."
"Shut up!" Prince Rong pointed at Rong Fu and shouted angrily, "Nonsense! What Miss Qiu, what pregnancy? I think you're bewitched, spouting nonsense here!"
He was so excited that he spoke incoherently.
Just as they were waiting for Princess Rong to continue her questioning.
Prince Rong picked up the curved sword of a guard beside him, preparing to swing it at Rong Fu.
Du Wanchun quickly looked towards the large banyan tree to the side.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and struck the large banyan tree.
With a loud crash, the banyan tree fell towards Prince Rong.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
The guards shouted loudly.
Before Prince Rong could swing his knife, he was knocked down by the banyan tree.
He fell to the ground, his legs pinned under a tree, and cried out in pain, "Help! Someone, please help! Help!"
Rongfu stared wide-eyed at Prince Rong on the ground, then stood up and shouted, "Retribution! Do you see that? This is retribution!"
As he was speaking, perhaps due to excessive excitement, he suffered a stroke and fainted.
Seeing that the charade was nearing its end, the old king waved his hand and said, "This matter concerns human lives. Guards, take Rongfu and Prince Rong away! I will interrogate them personally."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" a guard replied loudly, leading Prince Rong and Rong Fu away.
"Keep it full!" General An shouted.
The old king turned around and asked, "Is there anything else, General An?"
General An said solemnly, "This matter concerns my daughter, so please, Your Majesty, handle it impartially."
The old king nodded and said, "Don't worry, although he is my brother, the law applies to princes as well as commoners. I will not protect or show favoritism."
General An bowed and said, "Then thank you very much, Your Majesty."
The old king was always amiable towards his ministers, and looked like a kind old man.
Before he left, he didn't forget to take one last look at Du Wanchun.
Du Wanchun bowed to him.
He nodded slightly in return and then turned to leave.
After everyone left, General An immediately sent someone to write a letter of divorce to Prince Rong, and then took his daughter and granddaughter back with him.
Du Wanchun followed them to the gate of the Prince's Mansion, and then left in the carriage prepared by the Princess.
Instead of returning to Lord Li's residence, she rode in her carriage directly out of the city.
While they were confronting Prince Rong, Han Yan'er had already sent people to rescue Zhou Feng from the Li family.
Lord Li turned a blind eye and only took action after seeing that they had rescued the person.
Han Yan'er left in a hurry, only managing to rescue Zhou Feng; the dozen or so boxes of gold were all confiscated by Lord Li.
When she saw Du Wanchun, she said in a panic, "Sister-in-law, we rescued Zhou Feng, but they've taken the gold!"
Du Wanchun stepped down from the carriage and said with a smile, "Fine, if they've already deducted the money, so be it."
Han Yan'er immediately understood from her gaze; it seemed the gold was indeed genuine.
Because they were afraid of the news leaking out, not many people knew that the gold was fake.
Du Wanchun didn't explicitly tell Han Yan'er, but she had a rough idea on the way here. However, what she didn't expect was that all the gold she brought back this time was fake.
Du Wanchun looked towards the carriage ahead and asked, "Where's my second brother?"
Han Yan'er walked over and said, "Zhou Feng is in the carriage. He was injured, so I let him rest first."
After hearing this, Du Wanchun nodded, "Alright, let's set off home."
Han Yan'er looked behind Du Wanchun and asked, "Where's Brother Wei? Isn't he coming back with us?"
Du Wanchun turned around and looked at Yang Cheng behind her. "He still has his own things to do, so he won't be coming back with us."
Han Yan'er replied, "Alright, then let's hurry on our way."
She laughed as she spoke.
This was the first time Du Wanchun had seen her smile on the entire journey.
After Han Yan'er saved Zhou Feng, the gloom on her face vanished, and her complexion improved considerably.
Seeing the loving couple, Du Wanchun was also happy. She got into the carriage and told the drivers to continue their journey.
The old king is busy with Prince Rong's affairs, and Prince Rong is busy figuring out how to clear his name. Now is the perfect time for them to leave.
As for Lord Li, he was busy counting gold at home.
Knowing that letting Zhou Feng go would offend Prince Rong, he fled with the gold overnight.
