After hearing this, Zhou Ruiyuan almost forgot about it. Since they knew that Concubine Wu had been banished to the cold palace, they had never paid attention to Lady Liu's sister. Lady Liu continued, "My sister is not dead yet, and she should be on her way to find me now. I received a letter from her a few days ago." As she spoke, she handed the letter in her hand to Zhou Ruiyuan. Zhou Ruiyuan took a look and found that the handwriting was indeed the same as the last secret letter. "Madam, if your sister comes, can you keep her for a few days?"

Mrs. Liu nodded and said, "Of course, my sister and I have a deep relationship, and she should stay with me for a few days."

Zhou Ruiyuan handed her the letter and thanked her, "Thank you very much, madam."

In order not to attract attention, Zheng Zhifu and Li County Magistrate did not stay here for long. After seeing the children, they left Changliu Village.

After Zhou Ruiyuan sent them to the door, Aunt Zhou came back to take care of the three little kids.

The little kids were very obedient and basically didn't cry.

But in order to let Du Wanchun have a good rest, Aunt Zhou kept an eye on the three children every day.

Madam Zhuang even sent the third prince away and cooked for Du Wanchun herself.

By noon, Madam Zhuang had cooked a total of seven or eight dishes, all for Du Wanchun alone.

"Wanchun, come, eat." Madam Zhuang brought all the dishes to her bedside.

Du Wanchun sat up slightly, leaning against the pillow. Seeing so many dishes, she smiled and said, "Mammy, I'm afraid I can't finish all of them."

Mammy Zhuang took away a soup bowl and smiled, "You don't have to eat all of them, just eat a little bit of each. You don't have to worry about getting fat after eating these. I used to cook for the queen, so I know what to eat."

Du Wanchun took the spoon and smiled, "Thank you, Mammy."

Mammy Zhuang picked up some dishes for her and said, "We are a family, why are you being polite? Come and eat. After a while, Mammy will stew goat milk soup for you."

Du Wanchun smiled and nodded.

Aunt Zhou came in from outside, holding the child, "Wanchun, are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?"

Du Wanchun shook her head and said, "Mother, I'm not feeling uncomfortable at all."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said, "It's very important for women to have confinement after childbirth. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me."

Du Wanchun nodded slightly and said, "Okay, mother."

Aunt Zhou was afraid that she would not like to eat these things, so she thought about going to the county to buy some nourishing things later.

The next day, Aunt Zhou asked Aunt Zhuang to help look after the child, and followed the Third Prince to Cheng'an County.

This time, Aunt Zhou bought whatever she could get for the girl.

The Third Prince watched from the side, with a smile on his face.

After buying everything, Aunt Zhou got on the carriage.

When Aunt Zhou left in the carriage, a carriage from the capital passed by them.

Guardian Li sat in the carriage, looking around with the portrait in his hand.

He only heard that the Empress and the princes might be in Cheng'an County, but he didn't know where exactly they were.

This was what he wanted to tell the emperor, but the emperor insisted that he go out and look for them.

He had no choice.

When he arrived in front of the Zhou Family Incense Shop, he suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance and hurriedly called the coachman to stop the carriage.

Guard Li jumped off his horse and walked into the Zhou Family Incense Shop.

Zhang Qiuhe saw the guest coming and hurriedly came forward, "Sir, what kind of incense do you want to buy?"

Guardian Li picked up a bottle of perfume and said, "The scent of this perfume is so familiar. Does your Zhou family also have a perfume shop in the capital?"

Zhang Qiuhe hesitated for a moment and replied, "Yes, our Zhou family does have a perfume shop in the capital."

Guardian Li put the perfume back far away, then took out the portraits of Aunt Zhou and Zhou Ruiyuan from his pocket and handed them to her, "Take a look, are there these two people in Cheng'an County?"

Zhang Qiuhe was shocked and her mind turned quickly. She always knew who the Zhou family had offended in the capital. She pretended to take a closer look and said, "I don't know them."

Guardian Li saw that she answered so straightforwardly and didn't seem to be lying, so he didn't continue asking and turned around to ask somewhere else.

Zhang Qiuhe quickly stopped him and said, "Is this young man looking for someone?"

Guardian Li nodded.

Zhang Qiuhe smiled at him and said, "Why don't you leave this portrait with me and I'll ask for you."

Guardian Li hesitated for a moment.

Zhang Qiuhe continued, "I have many guests here, it's better than you asking every family."

Guardian Li hesitated, then turned around and said

: "No need."

After that, she left the incense shop.

Zhang Qiuhe felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said to the shop assistants: "You watch the shop, I have something to do and I'll be back soon."

The assistants nodded.

Zhang Qiuhe quickly found a carriage and rushed to Changliu Village.

When she arrived at Zhou's house, it was already dark.

"Aunt Zhou, Wanchun."

Mrs. Zhou came out and said, "Mrs. Zhang, why are you here?"
