The third prince became suspicious of the Liu sisters and quickly sent his confidant to investigate them.

Since Cheng'an County is a long way from the capital, it would take at least ten days to get news.

Aunt Zhou was also concerned about this. Whenever she saw Du Wanchun go to the shop, she would ask her to bring eggs and duck eggs to Lady Liu and Lady Xu.

After this, Du Wanchun became familiar with Lady Liu.

Lady Liu has a charming appearance, slightly raised almond eyes and a graceful figure. Even though she is getting older now, she still has charm. Middle-aged men passing by her shop on weekdays can't help but look at her.

That day, after leaving Zhou's incense shop, Madam Li confronted Magistrate Li.

Unexpectedly, when Magistrate Li learned that it was she who caused the tragic death of the Liu family, he was about to kill her with a sword. If it hadn't been stopped by Young Master Li, Madam Li would have died that night.

Perhaps because he still remembered the old feelings between husband and wife, Magistrate Li did not kill her, but only gave her a divorce letter.

Madam Li cried in her room all night with the divorce letter. The next day, the news that Magistrate Li divorced his wife spread throughout Cheng'an County.

Soon, it reached Madam Li's family.

Madam Li's family was also a wealthy businessman in Qingzhou Prefecture, and her family happened to be in the rouge business.

However, her family's rouge business was spread all over Xuanyue Country, and Madam Liu's small shop naturally couldn't compare.

A few days later, Madam Li's eldest brother from her family came to Li's house with his eldest sister-in-law.

Du Wanchun had been in the shop these days. Just after he had counted the accounts of the previous few days, he saw a group of people rushing into the rouge shop of Madam Liu across the street.

All the rouge and powder inside were thrown onto the street.

It wasn't long before Madam Liu's crying could be heard from inside.

A woman said in a very sharp voice: "She is just a little bitch, and she dares to mess with our Sun family! You don't even ask about the status of our Sun family in the capital! The rouge used by the imperial concubine is all from our family!"

Concubine Wu usually used the rouge from the Sun family the most, so the Sun family relied on this to bully and abuse their power in these small counties.

In the past, Magistrate Li was often suppressed by this family.

Zhang Qiuhe poked his head out and said: "Wanchun, let's go over and take a look, otherwise someone will die!"

Du Wanchun nodded slightly, and the two hurried to Madam Liu's rouge shop.

The shopkeepers of several other shops also rushed over together.

"It's broad daylight! How can you bully people like this?" The teahouse owner, Madam Xu, quickly helped Madam Liu up.

Madam Liu had wounds on her face, and it was obvious that she had been beaten by them just now.

The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sun family were relentless, "She deserves it. She deserves to die for hooking up with someone else's husband!"

Madam Xu was so angry after hearing this, "It's not her who deserves to die, but your good sister! The couple had already been engaged, and they were a couple that was set in stone. If it weren't for your Sun family that caused her family to be destroyed, it wouldn't be your sister's turn to be the county magistrate's wife!"

The other shopkeepers also echoed, "That's right, no matter what, you can't smash the shop and beat people!"

Most of the shopkeepers on this street were born as poor farmers, and they all made a living with a few taels of silver, so they were usually quite harmonious.

Especially since the Zhou family opened a shop here, their business on this street has been getting more and more prosperous, and the relationship between neighbors has been getting better and better.

Madam Liu, a weak woman, gradually received a lot of care and protection from them.

Seeing that they were all gathered here, the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the Sun family were at a disadvantage for a while.

Madam Xu took this opportunity to drive their people out with a group of shopkeepers.

After this drive, both sides actually started fighting.

Zhang Qiuhe quickly pulled Du Wanchun to hide aside and sighed: "This Sun family is really bold. Not only did they suppress County Magistrate Li, but they also dared to beat people in front of so many people!"

At this time, someone in the crowd said, "It's because of Concubine Wu's support!"

Du Wanchun frowned when she heard it. She quickly looked at the crowd and saw that it was Madam Xu.

She asked Madam Xu, "The Sun family is just a rouge merchant, how come they are related to Concubine Wu?"

Madam Xu lowered her head and whispered, "Wanchun, you don't know, I heard from people in the same village a few years ago that the eldest brother of the Sun family and Concubine Wu have some feelings."

"Feelings?" Du Wanchun asked in confusion, "What feelings?"

Madam Xu shook her head, "I don't know what it is specifically. When I was in Lin County, I heard a girl from the Sun family say that the Sun family

My eldest brother has a close relationship with Concubine Wu, so Concubine Wu likes to use their rouge. "

Du Wanchun listened and seemed to smell something unusual.
