The old man was very angry.

Mrs. Zhou took a deep breath and said, "Prince, no matter what happened in the past, we are no longer the same as before. You should go back to the capital and pretend that you have never met us!"

The third prince said seriously, "Zhou'er, I don't ask for anything. I just hope you don't drive me away and let me stay here, even if it means helping you carry manure and chop firewood."

After he said that, he turned around and went to the backyard to get a shoulder pole.

At this time, Du Wanchun and Zhou Ruiyuan hurried out and stopped him, "Prince, how can I let you do this?"

The Third Prince saw Zhou Ruiyuan and immediately put down the pole in his hand and saluted him, "Your Highness."

Zhou Ruiyuan hurriedly said: "Third Uncle, you don't have to be polite to us."

The Third Prince repeatedly assured him: "Ruiyuan, you persuade your mother and let me stay."

Zhou Ruiyuan looked at Aunt Zhou, and then said: "Prince, you should go back. Staying here will only put you in danger like us."

The Third Prince said seriously: "I am not afraid of danger. Don't worry. Everyone in Cheng'an County is my people, even Deng The prefect is also a disciple of your grandfather. With them around, no one will expose our news!"

This caught the attention of Aunt Zhou, "Are you talking about Prefect Zheng of Qingzhou Prefecture?"

The Third Prince nodded, "Yes, you should have met him when he was in the capital."

Aunt Zhou thought about it carefully, "Yes, it seems that I have met him."

The Third Prince continued, "He was demoted to Qingzhou to be the prefect in order to plead for Master Lu, but in a few months he will be transferred back to the capital to serve as a second-rank official."

"Second-rank official? ! Such a high promotion? ! "Aunt Zhou was a little surprised.

The Third Prince nodded and said, "Now the officials in the court are going to be replaced, and the Wu family will no longer be the only one in power."

He has endured humiliation for so many years just for this moment.

Aunt Zhou was immediately happy. It seems that they are one step closer to returning to the capital.

The third prince took the opportunity to say, "Let me stay! I will take you back later."

Mrs. Zhou hesitated.

At this time, Du Wanchun smiled and said, "Mother, since the prince wants to stay, let him stay. Mrs. Zhao just went back from here. It will not be long before the whole village will know that the head of our Zhou family is not dead."

"If the prince goes back like this, it will arouse suspicion from others."

Mrs. Zhou thought about it and said, "Okay, Prince, you stay here for a while."

As she said, she pointed to the guest room on the side, "There happens to be a guest room here."

The third prince was delighted and smiled and said, "Since I have settled down here, don't call me Prince, Prince?"

Mrs. Zhou looked up at him. Before she asked, she saw the third prince smiling and said, "Isn't your surname Zhou? My name is Zhou Laoqian."

"Zhou Laoqian?!" Both Mrs. Zhou and Du Wanchun were stunned.

This name really fits this village.

At this time, Aunt Wang came, "Sister Zhou!"

She ran and laughed, "I heard that your husband is back, is it true?"

Aunt Zhou was stunned at this moment, not knowing whether to say yes or no.

But the third prince was very into the play, "Yes, I'm back."

Aunt Wang saw the strange man in front of her and immediately guessed that it was him. She laughed and said, "Great, this is a big happy event. In the past, everyone in the village looked down on you because you were a widow. Now your husband is back, let's see if they dare to bully you!"

Du Wanchun quickly poured them a cup of tea, "Aunt Wang, come and have some tea."

Then she smiled and called to the third prince, "Dad, have some tea."

The third prince was overjoyed by the call of "Dad".

Du Wanchun also quickly pulled Zhou Ruiyuan.

Zhou Ruiyuan also shouted, "Dad, you've worked hard along the way."

When the Third Prince heard this, if Aunt Wang hadn't been here, he would have almost knelt down. The tea in his mouth was choked in his throat and he started coughing loudly.

Aunt Wang looked at him and asked, "Brother Zhou, what's wrong with you?"

The Third Prince quickly came back to his senses, wiped the water from his mouth, and smiled, "I'm fine, I'm just too excited!"

Aunt Wang squinted and smiled, "That's right, your family hasn't been together for three years, it's really exciting."

She smiled and looked at Aunt Zhou with a look of relief, "Sister Zhou, you can be said to have finally gotten through all the hardships."

After saying that, she patted her hands

"I'll go back and won't disturb your family reunion."

After Aunt Wang finished speaking, she left Zhou's house with a smile on her face.

After Aunt Wang left, Zhou Ruiyuan brought the Third Prince to the guest room and told him about the incense shop at home.

The Third Prince felt sad when he heard it, "Your mother has never done heavy work at home since she was a child. Now she has to fetch water and cook here, wash her hands and make soup!"

As he spoke, his eyes were red.

At this time, Aunt Zhou was preparing to light a fire and cook outside the house.

When the Third Prince heard it, he almost jumped up and rushed to Aunt Zhou like the wind, snatching the knife from her hand.

"I'll do it."

Aunt Zhou was preparing to cut radishes for soup, and she was stunned when she saw the knife snatched by the Third Prince.

"Prince...what are you doing?" she asked in confusion.

The Third Prince frowned and said seriously, "How can you cut vegetables with your hands? Let me do it!"
