Chapter 487 Wanting her to save people
Zhou Ruiyuan also noticed, and the two of them tried their best to appear unaware, bowing to Master Fang, "Master Fang."
In Cheng'an County, it should have been Master Fang who bowed to Zhou Ruiyuan. Zhou Ruiyuan's bow just now was a sign of his respect for Master Fang.
When Master Fang saw them arrive, he quickly stood up to greet them, "Master Zhou, Manager Du, please don't stand on ceremony, come and have a seat."
Zhou Ruiyuan led Du Wanchun to sit down slowly.
Master Fang quickly introduced the man, saying, "This is Magistrate Zhou of Cheng'an County."
The man stood up and bowed to Zhou Ruiyuan, saying, "Greetings, Lord Zhou."
Master Fang then pointed to the man and said, "Lord Zhou, Manager Du, this is my grandson-in-law, from the Tang family in the capital."
The Tang family was one of the wealthiest families in the capital, and none of them held official positions in the court, so they shouldn't have made enemies with the former empress and the crown prince.
However, at this moment, Master Fang said again, "Young Master Tang's sister is none other than Consort Li."
Consort Li, Du Wanchun, knew this; she was one of the emperor's newly favored concubines.
Because the emperor was too lazy to come up with a name, he gave her the same title as the fifth prince's mother: Consort Li.
In recent days, he has changed his favorite concubines one after another, but in the end, he made this merchant's daughter a concubine.
Because some people say that Consort Li was destined to have many children.
The emperor already had the idea of having more children and establishing a new crown prince.
He no longer places his hopes on Zhou Ruiyuan, and he doesn't even take the Seventh Prince seriously.
Because the emperor had this idea, the Tang family developed ambitions.
Their family was originally royalty, and now that they have the opportunity to climb to a high position again, they naturally won't let it pass.
So the eldest son of the Tang family began searching everywhere for the whereabouts of the Empress and the Crown Prince. His efforts paid off, and he finally found their trail in Cheng'an County.
However, he had no evidence to prove Zhou Ruiyuan and Aunt Zhou's identities and dared not go to the capital to tell the emperor rashly.
So they came up with the idea of "better to kill a thousand innocent people than let one guilty person go free," and sent someone to kill Zhou Ruiyuan.
Once the crown prince dies, and the grandson of the emperor dies, and then his sister gives birth to a prince, wouldn't the world be theirs?
The eldest son of the Tang family even seduced Miss Fang's granddaughter and became Master Fang's grandson-in-law, so that he could infiltrate Cheng'an County and take action against Zhou Ruiyuan and his group.
"Greetings, Young Master Tang." Du Wanchun slowly rose and bowed to the eldest son of the Tang family.
The eldest son of the Tang family sized up Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan, a hint of disdain appearing in his eyes.
In his view, Zhou Ruiyuan was already dead, and should have died on the way to exile, which would have been better for everyone.
"Manager Du and Lord Zhou are truly a perfect match, a match made in heaven." The eldest son of the Tang family smiled somewhat frivolously.
Zhou Ruiyuan shielded Du Wanchun behind him and said, "Why do we only see the eldest son of the Tang family? Where is Miss Sun from the Fang family?"
Master Fang laughed and said, "Xiao Yue is here. She's in the backyard. I'm with her. She's due to give birth in a little over a month."
Du Wanchun looked up at Master Fang and asked, "Miss Sun is still over a month away from giving birth? Why did you come all the way from the capital?"
Master Fang said slowly, "Manager Du, you may not know this, but a month ago, Xiaoyue was diagnosed with breech presentation, which could lead to a difficult birth. So I brought her to my residence to find a renowned doctor in Cheng'an County."
He lowered his voice and said, "Manager Du, I heard that Doctor Xu is at your estate, so I wanted to ask you to do me a favor and have Doctor Xu take a look at Xiaoyue."
Du Wanchun immediately understood that the Fang family was in such a hurry to summon him to their residence not because they wanted to see any orchids, but because they needed to help Miss Fang give birth.
She didn't understand why it had to be done so secretly. Going to see a doctor was nothing to be ashamed of.
Master Fang noticed the doubt in her eyes and explained, "The Tang family has a rule that a woman cannot reveal her pregnancy before giving birth, so my wife and I came up with this idea and asked Manager Du to help us out."
Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Since Master Fang has come to invite me, I naturally cannot refuse. I will have Doctor Xu come and examine Miss Sun tomorrow."
Young Master Tang, who was standing to the side, also thanked Du Wanchun.
However, she did not see any gratitude in Tang Gongzi's eyes, as if the woman who was about to have a difficult childbirth was not his wife.
Du Wanchun was taken aback.
After Master Fang and Du Wanchun finalized the doctor's appointment, they sent someone to escort them back to the Zhou residence.
This time, Young Master Tang didn't personally take action; it seems he was still keeping some precautions in mind.
Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan had just left.
Young Master Tang followed closely behind them, leaving the Fang residence and heading to a small inn not far from the Fang family.
He sneaked in through the back door, entered the house, and grabbed a woman tightly in his arms.
"Alright, alright, I'm here, stop fooling around."
The woman lightly punched his chest. "So you still know to come? I thought you'd forgotten about me long ago."
"My dear cousin, how could I forget you? Here I am now!" Young Master Tang gently kissed the woman's cheek.
The woman giggled and snuggled closer to him, "Cousin, why are you only arriving now?"
