After learning about the concubine from Liu Xiangxiang, Magistrate Li rushed to Zhou's house again the next day.

When Zhou Ruiyuan saw him coming, he asked hurriedly, "How is it, did she say it?"

Magistrate Li nodded heavily and followed Zhou Ruiyuan into the house, "She said it, she said it all."

Zhou Ruiyuan was overjoyed, holding the baby in his hand and turned to the backyard to call Aunt Zhou and the Third Prince over.

When Magistrate Li saw them all coming, he told them everything Liu Xiangxiang said last night.

After hearing this, Aunt Zhou was stunned for a long time. She was stunned for a long time before she said in disbelief: "You mean Concubine Duan?"

Lawyer Li nodded, "Yes, now there is only Concubine Duan left in the harem."

Aunt Zhou stood up slowly, her eyes still a little absent-minded, "I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and I am close to Concubine Duan. She is always kind to others and takes good care of me on weekdays. How could it be her?"

The Third Prince walked slowly to her side, frowned and said: "As the saying goes, you can know a person's face but not his heart. Zhou'er, you may have been deceived by her."

Aunt Zhou grew up under the pampering of her father, mother and elder brother. She had never been exposed to any intrigue. After entering the palace, she knew the horror of women in the harem.

But Concubine Duan was different. She not only took care of her from time to time, but also taught her how to govern the harem.

So over the years, even though there were concubines in the harem, she had been the queen for more than ten years.

Now, someone told her that everything was fake.

After thinking about it, she raised her head slightly and asked Magistrate Li: "Did Lord Li and Madam Liu tell me why Concubine Duan did this?"

Madam Li pondered, looked out the window, and said cautiously: "She did say something about this, it seems that the relationship between Concubine Duan and the emperor is also a little unclear."

"But this kind of relationship is really inappropriate, it's really hard to say it openly."

Mrs. Zhou suddenly realized that Concubine Duan was indeed beautiful and considerate, and it was no wonder that the emperor liked her.

"I didn't expect that just for a man, she would harm the four of us mother and son like this." After she finished speaking, she sighed and sat down.

Zhou Ruiyuan, who was listening to their conversation, was holding the child in his arms, thinking. After a while, he suddenly stood up and said seriously: "Oh no! Something happened!"

Mrs. Zhou and the Third Prince turned pale, "What's wrong? Ruiyuan?"

Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly: "If this was done by Concubine Duan, she would never let it go so easily. Now the emperor has sent people to Changliu Village to look for us with great fanfare. Concubine Duan must have sent people to follow us."

Mrs. Zhou and the Third Prince were also shocked.

"What should we do?"

Mrs. Li comforted them, saying, "Don't worry. The people who came to look for you last time have gone to the neighboring village with fake portraits. They probably won't be able to find you for a while."

Mrs. Zhou held on to a chair beside her tightly and said coldly, "If she really sends someone to look for me, then we'll fight to the death. If she doesn't want me to live, I'll take her to hell with me."

The Third Prince helped her sit down, "Don't worry. I'm here. Even if her people find you here, I won't let anything happen to you."

Mrs. Zhou looked better after hearing what the Third Prince said.

At this moment, the child in Zhou Ruiyuan's arms suddenly cried.

Everyone looked at the baby in his arms, "What's wrong with this child?"

Mrs. Zhou reached out to take the baby in her hands, "It must be hungry. I'll take it to Wanchun to feed it."

Zhou Ruiyuan reluctantly handed the child to Mrs. Zhou.

Aunt Zhou held the rosy little face, and the displeasure on her face was instantly swept away. She smiled and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go to Wanchun's room."

After that, she turned around and walked towards Du Wanchun's room with the child in her arms.

Du Wanchun listened to the child's cry, sat up, and smiled, "Mianmian must be hungry."

Aunt Zhou slowly handed the child to her, "Yes, this Ruiyuan holds the child in his arms every day, and doesn't even know that she is hungry."

Du Wanchun held the child, gently touched the tip of the little baby's nose, and smiled, "This child also likes her father. When she is noisy, she just wants her father to hold her."

Aunt Zhou also gently touched her little face with her hand, "Wait a few days, I will go to the county to find a wet nurse for the children, and you can relax a little."

On weekdays, the children need to drink milk every hour. It is really tiring to take care of three children in a day.

Zhou Ruiyuan has been asking about wet nurses in the village these days, but he has not found a suitable one yet.

Aunt Zhou is preparing for a few days

I will go to the county to look for her the next day.

But now because of the matter of Concubine Duan, she is a little afraid to go out on the street.

Du Wanchun heard some of the conversation outside the house just now. She comforted Aunt Zhou and said, "Mom, don't worry. Our lives are getting better and better now. My second brother has his own soldiers outside the pass. We are not afraid of the Concubine."
