The two of them were very busy, and the two of them were very busy.

Mrs. Zhuang nodded. Not wanting to bother Aunt Zhou with her own affairs, she changed the subject and said, "Let's buy some more needles and thread. I'll make a few pairs of shoes for the children."

Aunt Zhou smiled and replied, "Okay, let's go. I'll make two pairs for Wanchun as well."

Mrs. Zhuang listened to her laughter, and the worries on her face gradually disappeared. She continued to stroll with Aunt Zhou.

Mrs. Jiang, who was not far from them, stamped her feet in anger.

Mrs. Jiang's original surname was Liu. Her family opened a rice shop in Qingzhou Prefecture. They lived a wealthy life, but she fell in love with a married man, Jiang Dacheng.

Jiang Dacheng was honest at first after marrying Madam Zhuang, but later, perhaps because he saw that Madam Zhuang was old and had lost her beauty, he started to flirt with other women and finally got involved with the lady from the rice shop.

Madam Jiang was promised to a merchant in her early years, but before she entered the bridal chamber, the man sailed out to sea and never came back. Later, she returned to her parents' home and became a famous old maid in Qingzhou Prefecture.

Jiang Dacheng could do anything for money. He climbed up to Madam Jiang and abandoned his wife at home.

Madam Jiang got on the sedan chair angrily and returned home. She told Jiang Dacheng that she saw Madam Zhuang buying cloth from a rich family.

Jiang Dacheng was not surprised, "She used to work for a wealthy family in the capital, and it's not strange for her to continue to serve a wealthy family now."

Madam Jiang just refused to accept it, "As long as she is here, I can't have peace."

"What? Do you still want her to go to the underworld?" Jiang Dacheng said while looking at the account book.

Madam Jiang looked coldly and gritted her teeth and said, "It would be nice if she could go to the underworld."

Jiang Dacheng didn't listen to her words and continued to look at his account book.

When it was night, he took out the account book and changed a few accounts, then stole a sum of silver and went to the gambling house secretly.

Just yesterday, he just came out of the restaurant, and he didn't know what happened, but he went to a gambling house.

After gambling, he lost more than 100 taels of silver in total.

Now that the silver in his hand was spent, he thought about tampering with the account book and took the silver to continue gambling.

Early the next morning.

Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou got up early, took the things they bought in the past two days, and prepared to pick up Zhou Ruiyuan and go home directly.

Who knew that when they were on the road, they saw a lot of people gathered in front of them.

Aunt Zhou opened the curtain of the sedan chair and looked out, "Is there something wrong ahead?"

Madam Zhuang followed and looked out, only to see Jiang Dacheng's rice shop, "Isn't that my husband's rice shop?"

Aunt Zhou asked in confusion, "That unfaithful man's shop? Let's go and take a look!"

Du Wanchun hurriedly asked the driver to move forward a few steps.

Madam Zhuang leaned on the window and looked at the rice shop.

There were many people around the rice shop, a group of people were taking rice and dismantling the shop.

Madam Zhuang asked the passers-by next to the carriage, "What happened to this rice shop?"

The passer-by sighed, "You don't know yet? The shopkeeper of this rice shop went to the gambling house in the market last night to gamble, and lost 10,000 taels of silver in one night!"

"10,000 taels of silver? So much?" Aunt Zhuang said in surprise.

The passerby nodded, "Yes, how could he have so much money in a small rice shop? Later, he directly sold the rice shop."

Madame Zhuang was very surprised. She was arguing with their Madam Jiang yesterday, and today the Jiang family collapsed?

When she was wondering, she heard a woman crying not far away.

"Let me go! Don't you want silver? I'll give it to you!"

Du Wanchun and Aunt Zhou also looked over when they heard the sound.

They saw a group of men dragging a woman to the carriage.

"Isn't that the lady who scolded Madam in the cloth shop yesterday?" Aunt Zhou exclaimed.

Madam Zhuang looked carefully and said, "It's really that woman."

A passerby looked at her and pointed at her and said, "This shopkeeper Jiang is really a bastard. He sent his wife to pay off his debts!"

"These people in the gambling house are so vicious. I don't know where they will sell her."

Madam Zhuang and Aunt Zhou sighed, "You lost all your wealth in one night?!"

The passerby nodded, "That's right, it's not just all your wealth. I guess in two days, you will lose your arms and legs."

Madam Zhuang was filled with emotion.

Aunt Zhou lowered the curtain of the carriage, "The shopkeeper Jiang deserved it. Well, let's go back quickly."

Madam Zhuang sat down slowly and said in silence for a long time, "I

He hasn't returned the money to me yet!"

Mrs. Zhou took her hand and said, "It's a good thing for such people to leave early, otherwise you might be the next person to be sold. Don't worry about the money. Go back and make spices with me. Maybe you can earn it back in a month or two."

Mrs. Zhuang thought it made sense. Thinking back to Mrs. Jiang's embarrassed look just now, she was very lucky.

After the group left Jiang's rice shop in a carriage, they came to the gate of Qingzhou government office.

Not long after, Zhou Ruiyuan came out.

Mrs. Zhuang was also very excited when she saw him. She pulled him to look left and right, "Your Highness has grown taller and more handsome."

Zhou Ruiyuan was surprised to see Mrs. Zhuang and looked up at Mrs. Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou quickly explained the cause and effect.

Zhou Ruiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. It just so happens that Wanchun will be born in a few months."

Mrs. Zhuang quickly pulled him into the carriage.
