The police said that the suspects were arrested.

Mr. Li deliberately exaggerated, "They are a group of extremely vicious people, and they are skilled in martial arts. You'd better not talk to them. Set traps around the house and don't let them escape."

The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, sir."

After Mr. Li gave the order, he also sent a few yamen runners to keep an eye on them, and then came to Zhou's house in person.

"Good news, the assassins have been arrested."

Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed when she heard it, "Really?"

Mr. Li smiled and said, "Really, I have sent yamen runners over there, those people can't run away, you can rest assured."

Mrs. Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and sat down slowly.

The Third Prince came over and helped her up, "It's just a few assassins. I'll go and see for myself later."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, "Yes."

Lawyer Li was so happy that he sat here for a while and told Mrs. Zhou that Madam Liu was pregnant.

Mrs. Zhou went into the house and took a basket of eggs and handed them to Lawyer Li, "This woman needs more nourishment when she's pregnant. Take this back and give some to Madam Liu."

Lawyer Li was very grateful. At this moment, he suddenly thought of the fortune teller's words and looked around, "Where is Wanchun?"

Mrs. Zhou smiled and replied, "Wanchun is living in the Wang family now. We will take her back later."

Lawyer Li smiled and said, "Before, a fortune teller said that Wanchun was a lucky star. I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems to be true."

Mrs. Zhou After hearing this, she was stunned and asked hurriedly, "You said it was a lucky star?"

Li County Magistrate nodded, "Yes, I thought the fortune teller was talking nonsense at the time, but look at the Zhou family, isn't it getting better and better now, and my life is getting better and better. If it weren't for you, I would probably still be raising someone else's child and living a noisy life every day."

Mrs. Zhou paused in her heart and muttered thoughtfully, "A lucky star has come..."

Mrs. Li did not stay any longer, and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhou and the third prince and left the Zhou family.

After waiting for Li County Magistrate to leave, Mrs. Zhou gradually came to her senses. She thought about the good things that happened in the family during this period, and gradually believed what Li County Magistrate said.

Before Zhou Ruiyuan could speak, Mrs. Zhou quickly took Du Wanchun home and told her with a smile that everything was fine.

Du Wanchun was also full of smiles when she heard it.

Without the assassin, the Zhou family's life gradually became peaceful again.

Zhou Ruiyuan found three wet nurses in the county and only kept one, the sister of the teahouse owner. She was kind, honest and dutiful, and had just given birth to a daughter.

In order to facilitate her breastfeeding, Aunt Zhou asked her to bring her daughter to the Zhou family.

Du Wanchun was shocked when she saw the Jiang family's daughter-in-law and the baby in her arms. The baby looked so good.

This baby was about two months old, more than a month older than Du Wanchun's Mianmian. Maybe because it was older, it had grown a little. The round eyes were black and bright, as delicate as a porcelain doll.

Du Wanchun liked it very much. Over time, she raised this baby as her own daughter.

Little Mianmian not only had two brothers, but also a sister. Little Mianmian didn't cry much these days.

Aunt Zhou smiled every day when she saw these children.

Half a month later, the third prince came to the small fishing village in person.

When the assassins saw the Third Prince, they were stunned, "Prince, why are you here?"

The Third Prince recognized them at a glance, "Aren't you guards serving in the palace?"

The assassins lowered their heads. They were all guards around the emperor, but they had been bribed by the Concubine Dowager.

The Third Prince scolded them, "You are so brave that you dare to assassinate without telling the emperor!"

The assassins lowered their heads and did not answer.

The Third Prince said coldly, "Since you are so fearless, I will bring you to the emperor and let you tell him in person!"

The assassins were scared when they heard it.

One of the timid ones knelt down and said, "Your Highness, we were forced to do this because the Concubine Dowager threatened our family members."

The Third Prince saw that he was willing to tell the truth and continued to ask, "So it was the Concubine Dowager who asked you to do it three years ago?"

The timid assassin nodded, "Yes, Your Highness."

Several assassins on the side pulled him and signaled him not to continue.

The Third Prince looked at

He said to them fiercely: "You are so afraid that the Concubine Dowager will do something to your family, aren't you afraid that I will do something to your family?"

He waved his hand and said fiercely: "I can ask the people in the capital to accuse you of any crime and have your whole family executed!"

Once he said this, the others were also afraid.

The third prince said slowly: "Tell me, what kind of token does the Concubine Dowager give you when she asks you to kill someone?"

The assassins all lowered their heads, hesitating and not speaking.

The third prince raised his voice and said: "It seems that you are really not afraid of death."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

At this time, the leading assassin suddenly called him, "Prince, wait a minute."

The third prince slowly turned around.

The assassin lowered his head and said helplessly: "Every time the Concubine Dowager asked us to kill someone, she would send us a letter, but we destroyed these letters."

The third prince's face was full of disappointment.

"Wait, I have a letter!" The timid assassin suddenly raised his head and said.
