Chapter 391 The Consequences for Master Liang
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou immediately looked up in the direction they had returned from.
Sure enough, it was Du Wanchun's carriage.
The carriage had barely stopped at the door when Xiao Mianmian, Yi'er, and Yu'er ran down together, calling out, "Grandma~ Grandpa~"
When Aunt Zhou saw that the three children were safe and sound, her eyes immediately reddened. She hugged them in her arms and complained, "You two are getting more and more naughty. How could you sneak off to the capital without saying a word? Do you know how worried your father and grandmother were?"
When Xiao Mianmian and Yi'er Yu'er saw Zhou Da Niang's red eyes, they truly realized their mistake and obediently lowered their heads to admit it.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan walked over together, saying, "Father, Mother."
The Third Prince breathed a sigh of relief and replied, "Wanchun, you had a hard time going to the capital this time."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "It's not hard work. Second brother has managed the shops in the capital very well."
The Third Prince knew she was just being polite. Zhou Feng had almost lost his life this time, and then he hadn't taken care of the shop for months. One could imagine how many messes those shops in the capital had left behind.
Du Wanchun managed to set up the shops in the capital perfectly in less than a month, demonstrating abilities no less than, or even greater than, those of an average man.
Aunt Zhou asked Wei to bring the three children into the house first. She came to Du Wanchun's side, pulled her left and right and looked her over. "You said it wasn't hard, but I see you've lost weight. I'll have Granny Zhuang make you your favorite red date soup later."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Thank you, Mother."
Aunt Zhou held her hand, her face full of tenderness.
Zhou Ruiyuan stood behind Du Wanchun and said with a smile, "Mother, let's go inside and talk first."
Aunt Zhou nodded. "Yes, let's go inside and talk."
As Du Wanchun walked into the house, she asked, "How is my second brother's health?"
Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "Feng'er's injuries have fully healed. After you come back, he will take Yan'er back to the capital."
Du Wanchun looked up into the room and said, "That's fine."
At this moment, Nan Fengling came out of the house and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back."
She strode up to Du Wanchun, her face full of joy, "Ah Zhao came back yesterday and said she hadn't seen her sister-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Du Wanchun quickly looked up and asked, "Third brother is back?"
Nan Fengling smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back. Although I was injured, I'm fine. I'll rest at home for a few days and then go back to the military camp."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "It seems our whole family is here."
Nan Fengling was stunned for a moment, then did the math and realized it was true.
"Yes, the whole family is here."
In the past, if Zhou Feng or Zhou Zhao hadn't been away from home, they would have all been there this time.
Zhou Feng followed Han Yan'er out of the house, saying, "Big brother, sister-in-law."
Little Mianmian and Yi'er Yu'er had very sweet tongues, greeting them one by one: "Hello, Second Uncle~ Hello, Second Aunt~ Hello, Third Aunt~"
"Where is Third Uncle?"
Zhou Zhao, who was comforting the child inside, walked in with a smile, holding the baby, "Third Uncle is here~"
Du Wanchun slowly looked at Zhou Zhao.
They noticed that Zhou Zhao had grown quite a bit; he was not only much taller but also much more robust, standing at the doorway like a wall blocking it.
Moreover, his skin was tanned to a wheat color, while the baby he was holding was as white as a chubby little dough ball.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, thankfully the child looked like Nan Fengling, otherwise he would also be dressed in black.
"Now that the whole family is here, let's have dinner," the Third Prince called to them.
The family snapped out of their daze and went to the back room for their meal.
The Zhou family's house wasn't big, but it became very lively when there were many people.
There are also three little babies who are becoming increasingly talkative.
The laughter and merriment lasted for several hours without dissipating.
During the conversation, Du Wanchun told Zhou Feng about Manager You's situation.
Zhou Feng was very surprised, "I really didn't expect that the person who harmed me would be him!"
Du Wanchun said slowly, "Manager You was indeed a good person when he first started following you, but later he became blinded by greed and became more and more avaricious."
Zhou Feng picked up his wine glass and took a sip, a hint of sadness on his face. Being betrayed by the person he trusted most was indeed a painful experience.
Du Wanchun comforted him, saying, "Second brother, everyone has their own destiny. This is the path he chose himself, and it has nothing to do with you. Now I have promoted Manager Bo to head manager. He is a trustworthy person."
Zhou Feng was very grateful after hearing this, and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Du Wanchun poured him a glass of wine, saying, "We're family, no need for thanks."
Han Yan'er listened from the side, sighing deeply, and asked Du Wanchun, "What about the Liang family? How is the Liang family now?"
Du Wanchun narrowed her eyes. "I'm not quite sure, but when we left, we heard that he married his daughter to the son of the steward in the mansion."
Han Yan'er's eyes widened. "If he marries the steward's son, then Manager You's plan will be in vain?"
Du Wanchun laughed and said, "It's not just a loss, it's like getting nothing at all."
Han Yan'er laughed, "He really deserves it. Heaven has eyes, and this is how you punish such an ungrateful person."
Du Wanchun didn't speak, but lowered her head and drank a glass of wine.
Today, since the whole family was present, Aunt Zhou brought out the wine she had treasured at home.
Du Wanchun rarely drinks, but she had a few drinks because she was happy.
This time, Zhou Ruiyuan didn't stop her and let her have her way.
Han Yan'er continued with a smile: "The Liang family originally thought they could ruin our Zhou family with their daughter, but they ended up losing their own daughter. It's karma."
“Yes, retribution,” Du Wanchun replied softly.
But there were still things she didn't say: the Liang family's retribution was far more than that.
On Du Wanchun's way back, Liang's rice shop's business declined day by day.
In the past, Master Liang would sell new rice mixed with old rice.
Some of the old rice had become moldy, so it naturally didn't taste as good as new rice.
In the past, ordinary people were used to eating his family's rice and it was fine, but after eating Du Wanchun's premium rice, they gradually realized that his family's rice was not right.
Later, several oil vendors reported him to the authorities.
