Chapter 392 My husband is so loving
Normally, Master Liang would have already bribed these officials with money, but he was just too unlucky. The official who took his money suddenly fell ill and retired to his hometown early.
The new official's arrival caught him completely off guard.
All of Master Liang's past despicable deeds were uncovered, and he was eventually exiled after his property was confiscated.
His daughter was able to survive because she married the steward's son and left the capital early.
The once-famous wealthy merchant in the capital fell into such a state of destitution overnight.
Du Wanchun drank another glass of wine, a carefree smile spreading across her face.
As night deepened, Aunt Zhou carried the sleeping Xiao Mianmian, Yi'er, and Yu'er to her room.
Zhou Feng and Zhou Zhao followed their respective wives back to their rooms to rest.
Only Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan remained.
Du Wanchun had drunk some wine today, and was walking unsteadily with a slightly flushed face.
Zhou Ruiyuan reached out and gently touched her cheek. "Why is your face so hot?"
Du Wanchun cupped her cheeks in her hands and laughed, "Perhaps it's because I drank too much."
Actually, she had only drunk three or four cups.
Zhou Ruiyuan swept her up in his arms and carried her slowly toward their courtyard.
Du Wanchun nestled in his warm embrace, gradually becoming drowsy. She slowly closed her eyes and placed her hand on his chest.
Zhou Ruiyuan did not wake her up. After entering the room, he carefully placed her on the bed.
Du Wanchun had been traveling for several days and had also drunk a little alcohol, so she fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed.
Zhou Ruiyuan sat down beside her, gently covered her with the blanket, and then stared at her sleeping profile in a daze.
Although Du Wanchun is usually calm and capable of managing the shop with ease, she has a small, childlike face.
Especially when her eyes are closed, her chubby cheeks make her look even more radiant.
Zhou Ruiyuan gently brushed aside the stray hairs on her face, becoming more and more lost in thought as he looked at her.
As strands of silvery moonlight slowly shone through the window.
Zhou Ruiyuan couldn't help but bend down and kiss her forehead.
His kiss was light, like a soft cloud slowly falling.
Du Wanchun was fast asleep and didn't notice anything.
Zhou Ruiyuan continued to move his kiss downwards, landing on her brow bone, his hands bracing against the bed, the veins bulging slightly.
He resisted the urge to possess her, wanting only to kiss the lover he had been longing for all these days with a gentle, spring-like kiss.
Du Wanchun closed her eyes and breathed steadily.
Zhou Ruiyuan placed a kiss on the tip of her small nose, and then on her cheek.
He kissed both her cheeks one by one, and finally gently pulled her into his arms, lying obediently beside her.
Du Wanchun felt a little warmth in her sleep and couldn't help but snuggle into his arms.
Zhou Ruiyuan smiled, put his arm around her waist, stroked the back of her long hair, and gently kissed her hair.
This moment must be the happiest time for him.
The next day, Du Wanchun slept until noon again.
Seeing that she was too tired from traveling, Aunt Zhou deliberately did not wake her up.
When she arrived at the front yard, Granny Zhuang and the kitchen staff had already prepared lunch.
After washing up, Du Wanchun immediately helped Aunt Zhou serve rice to the three little children.
Little Mianmian, Yi'er, and Yu'er have all grown their teeth and can eat with the adults.
Moreover, Xiao Mianmian is very clever; she learned to use chopsticks on her own.
While the family was having dinner, Du Wanchun noticed that Zhou Quan was not there.
She asked Aunt Zhou in a low voice, "Mother, where is Fifth Brother? Why haven't I seen him come to eat?"
Only then did Aunt Zhou remember something she hadn't told Du Wanchun, and she smiled and said, "Wanchun, while you were away, the matchmaker Hong from the next village arranged a marriage for Zhou Quan."
"You've arranged a marriage?" Du Wanchun was somewhat surprised.
Aunt Zhou nodded. "It's a family surnamed Tao."
Nan Fengling walked over and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, speaking of this marriage, my fifth brother almost made a fool of himself."
Du Wanchun, intrigued, asked with a smile, "What joke?"
Nan Fengling slowly said, "That day, the matchmaker brought two women to propose marriage to my fifth brother. He fell in love with one of the girls at first sight and then told the matchmaker about it. The matchmaker asked him whether he was interested in the younger sister or the older sister."
Du Wanchun asked in confusion, "Are they sisters who look exactly alike?"
Nan Fengling shook her head. "Of course they are different. The older sister is two years older, with delicate features, and is bold and meticulous. The younger sister is prettier, but she is timid and withdrawn."
"Sister-in-law, guess who Fifth Brother likes?"
Du Wanchun thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, sister?"
