Chapter 350 It turns out I saved the person the enemy was looking for.
The little girl glanced at her brother and swallowed.
Upon discovering this, the young man reached out with trembling hands to take the sweet soup and thanked her, saying, "Thank you, Auntie."
Mrs. Miao patted the little boy's head and smiled, "This child is so well-behaved."
After Du Wanchun and Wu Niangzi finished their hot soup, they did not linger and the family boarded a carriage to return to Changliu Village.
Late at night, Zhou Ruiyuan returned, and Du Wanchun told him about what had happened that day.
After hearing this, he frowned slightly and said, "Minister Wei has been very popular in the court lately. His eldest son happened to pass the imperial examination at the same time as me. Although he did not make it into the top three, he also secured a position in the court."
"Now, he has even married the third daughter of the Yang family, and is enjoying great prestige."
Du Wanchun had previously heard Zhou Ruiyuan talk about matters of the court; the Yang family, besides the Wu family, was another trusted confidant of the emperor.
Lord Yang had many disciples in the court and was quite prestigious.
If Zhou Ruiyuan wants to return to the capital in the future, this Lord Yang will be one of the stumbling blocks.
Since the Wei family could form a marriage alliance with the Yang family, they were naturally on the same side.
After understanding the relationship, Du Wanchun became quite interested in the Wei family member who had ended up in Cheng'an County.
The next day, when Du Wanchun returned to the estate, Lady Wei had already woken up.
Wei was very wary of people. After waking up, she wanted to leave with her two children, but because she was too weak, she collapsed to the ground after taking only a few steps.
Du Wanchun sent someone to help her inside.
Madam Wei was extremely grateful. "Thank you very much, Manager Du, but we cannot disturb you any longer."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Don't bother me. It just so happens that my estate is big and there aren't many people living here. If you'd like, you can stay here and help us with the laundry."
Wei quickly replied, "Yes, of course."
Perhaps because she was less wary of Du Wanchun, Wei slowly began to tell her own story.
It turns out that this Wei woman was actually engaged to the eldest son of the Yang family.
She and the eldest son of the Yang family fell in love at first sight. Later, the Yang family, considering that she was the daughter of the Wei family, were willing to marry her, a daughter born out of wedlock.
Unfortunately, her stepmother interfered, and she was eventually sold to a small merchant overnight.
The small vendor first worked in a small shop in the capital, and later went to Zhou's Incense Shop.
After being chosen by Zhou Feng, she earned some money, and the couple's life got better and better. Their two children grew up and their lives were relatively stable. However, not long after, her husband was beaten to death.
Left with no other choice, she, a woman with two children, had to go back to her father for help.
Her father wanted to marry her off to the Yang family as a concubine so that his elder brother could get married.
It was only then that she learned that her husband had been beaten to death by the eldest son of the Yang family.
Although the Yang family married the legitimate daughter of the Wei family, they couldn't let go of this concubine's daughter and wanted to take her as a concubine, so they brutally beat her husband to death.
After learning about this, she fled with her child overnight, because her husband had told her that Manager Zhou was a good person and that she should contact him if she needed anything.
That's why she brought her child to Cheng'an County.
I just didn't expect to hear that Manager Zhou was injured at home as soon as I arrived, so I haven't gone to bother him.
Du Wanchun thought about it carefully. She had seen the servants who followed Zhou Feng before when she was in the capital. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Is your husband's surname Bo?"
Wei nodded. "That's right, the surname is indeed Bo."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "That's perfect. The manager of the Zhou family in the capital is my second brother. You've come to the right person."
Madam Wei was taken aback. "Manager Du...you?"
The Wei family only knew that Manager Zhou's surname was Zhou and that he ran an incense shop in the capital. They never expected that the Zhou family rice shop in Cheng'an County was also owned by the Zhou family.
When she first arrived, she wondered why there were so many families with the surname Zhou in Cheng'an County.
It turns out that Manager Du and Manager Zhou are family.
This can be considered fate.
